Chapter 502 - Refining The Imminent Deity Insect
Princess Jin Xiu was certain, she looked further ahead and said, “Know yourself, know your enemy and you will triumph in every battle. Our dear gods can’t wait to feast on them anymore. We’ve been searching for the Ancestral Star for 50,000 years. It can’t run from us anymore … Look carefully at the experts and only chose those you are confident in killing!”
The Golden King insects nodded and said while smiling, “Princess, no worries. These Qi Practitioners are good against weak opponents, but in the face of the strong like us, they will stand no chance at all!”
…
In the icy pathway, there were also many insect experts. Most of them were Heavenly Dharma and True Spirit experts along with a few Imminent Deity insect magnates. They were hiding amongst the swarming insects while assassinating the Ancestral Star experts.
There was one insect Imminent Deity magnate who was most peculiar. He shrunk his body small enough and entered the body of a Kun Peng expert, eating away the expert’s brain and Yuan Shen. He then stayed in the Kun Peng expert’s skull and controlled the expert’s body to move closer to the Kun Peng Imminent Deity magnate and launched a surprise attack along with his other insect experts.
But the Imminent Deity Kun Peng was quick enough to evade the killing blow. After the surprise attack, the insect magnate morphed the Kun Peng expert’s body into a huge Kun and sucked all of the experts, including the insects, into his mouth!
Fang Jiange was the first to react, he turned around and swung his hand across the sky. The beam from the divine sword flashed over like lightning and decapitated the huge Kun.
The insect Imminent Deity magnate lunged out from the decapitated head. He had a sword-like horn on his huge head and four small limbs with a round body. There were still the whitish brain juice stuck on his moustache as the insect magante smirked. He pounced at Fang Jiange while saying, “Such a strong human, let’s see if your brain has a strong flavor as well!”
Fang Jiange clenched on the divine sword and swung at the incoming insect magnate. Sparks lit up the icy tunnel, the insect magnate was struck away but there wasn’t a single impression left on him. He was shocked and exclaimed, “How heavy is your sword!?”
Fang Jiange furrowed his brows, his divine sword was forged from the divine golds and cultivated into the form of sword rays. Although it was in the form of the godly lights, it was strong and incredibly heavy. However, it couldn’t even slash through the insect magnate!
“Hmph! Again!” When wielded in Fang Jiange’s hand, the divine sword moved as though it was brought to life. Changing from huge to small, soft to hard, long to short, turning from form to from as Fang Jiange’s will desired as he slashed at the insect magnate.
Gu Hongzi moved in to help, but suddenly, an insect expert stood in his path. The insect looked like an enlarged centipede, his body morphed huge into ten thousand feet tall and the multiple arms restrained Gu Hongzi’s godly spirit on the ground.
His claws were filled with numerous barbs that pierced into Gu Hongzi’s godly spirit. The insect expert opened his mouth wide and blasted out a mouth of poisonous liquid on the godly spirit, ablating on it!
The poisonous liquid was extremely bizarre. If one looked carefully, this liquid was in fact, composed of many tiny totem patterns that were incredibly corrosive. This was a skill that had been created to corrode the mortal body and Yuan Shen!
Gu Hongzi’s godly spirit was instantly heavily damaged. The totem patterns in the godly spirit was corroded and melted into a more poisonous liquid.
This insect was also an Imminent Deity magnate!
Meanwhile, the other experts like Lang Qingyun and the dragon magnates were all also facing with the ambush of the insect magnates. The battle situation immediately took a turn for the worse.
Zhong Yue was no exception as well. Although the insect magnate that ambushed Zhong Yue was not on the level of Imminent Deity, he was only half a step away from it. The insect’s many tentacles attempted to burrow into Zhong Yue’s body.
These tentacles were made of demon fire, they could slip through any obstacle and successfully entered Zhong Yue’s body through the apertures on his head. This demon fire entered his psyche ocean and constrained his Yuan Shen.
“DIE!” The insect magnate was overjoyed. The demon fire pinned Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen and pulled Zhong Yue toward his mouth.
His ‘lips’ opened in all directions like a blooming flower and in his mouth, there was layer upon layer of menacing teeth which were ready to gnaw on Zhong Yue and inject its venom into his body.
“Big! Big! Big! Big! Big!” The insect magnate was split in half as a 30,000 feet long huge sword crushed him in the middle.
“Your divine weapon…,” the insect magnate’s halved body quaked the floor as it crashed into the ground.
At the same time, Qiu Jin’er, Zuo Xiangshen, and Tian Yanzhong cast out the Ten Malefic Weapons. They dashed in to help Gu Hongzi, Tian Mo Concubine and the others who were ambushed by the insect magnate.
Zhong Yue stepped forward and swung his arm. Totem patterns were blasted out from his sleeve and turned into an altar that rose up from beneath Gu Hongzi and the insect magnate.
The figures of nine demon gods appeared around the altar, they bowed together and chanted in unison.
The insect magnate’s heart skipped a beat, he could feel his arcane energy leaking out from his body like a loose tap. Quickly, he released Gu Hongzi’s godly spirit and struck countless hits on the altar.
Zhong Yue’s altar was just a great skill in the【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】, how could it even able to defend so many strikes from a magnate?
Krong——
The altar been shattered into pieces and disintegrated into the purest form of totem patterns.
Meanwhile, Gu hongzi cast out his godly spirit and turned took the form of a godly bird. He clawed and beaked at the centipede-like insect magnate until it was dead. He flung the insect magnate up into the sky and ate it away into his stomach.
A cold chill was sent down Zhong Yue’s spine as he thought, Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi is really daring to even eat an insect magnate. He is no doubt a monster!
After the death of the insect magnate, the two of them strode toward Fang Jiange. With the help of two experts, the insect magnate fighting Fang Jiange was undoubtedly no match for them.
He was pinned to the ground as Fang Jiange suppressed him with the divine sword on his back and Gu Hongzi’s claw kept him on the floor like a cage, leaving him unable to move at all.
Zhong Yue clenched on the Golden Peng Sword, and like an executioner, he brought it down upon the insect magnate’s head.
Ding——
The golden sword quivered violently and the insect magnate was still left unscathed.
The three experts were all stunned, and they exclaimed, “What? Such a strong body!?”
Although the insect magnate was unable to move, he wasn’t in a life-threatening situation at all. He laughed and criticized them, “Three idiots. My body is forged from divine gold, even your swords are made of divine gold, how do you think you can harm me?”
“Refine him!” Fang Jiange frowned and said solemnly.
“Hehe, you three are weaker than me in cultivation base, how do you think you can refine me?” The insect magnate showed his sharp teeth and said proudly, “I could give you 500 years of time and you still wouldn’t be able to do shit to me!”
Zhong Yue, Gu Hongzi and Fang Jiange furrowed their brows. This insect magnate was in the Imminent Deity level, while they were only the True Spirit and Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners. Their Yuan Shen weren’t strong enough to refine the insect magnate.
“If not the cultivation base, then let’s do it with the divine weapon!” Zhong Yue took out the 108 Xuan Yin Banners and placed them down in array formation, “I will refine him!”
The Xuan Yin Hundred Demon Banners erupted with power, and the demon Qi surged out into 108 demon gods that surrounded the insect magnate in the middle.
A huge furnace emerged around the insect magnate and trapped him in it while the arcane energy in him was siphoned out from his body.
The insect magnate shrieked in fear, and he tried to escape, but Gu Hongzi and Fang Jiange pinned him on the ground, leaving him unable to move at all.
His cultivation base lowered at a notable rate, and his arcane energy was siphoned away from him. In just a few moment’s of time, he already dropped to the level of True Spirit and was still falling toward the Heavenly Dharma level.
With just a thought, the figures of nine demon gods appeared behind Zhong Yue. The demon gods flashed into the insect magnate’s psyche ocean and formed into an altar that trapped the insect magnate’s Yuan Shen in the center. Demon Qi surged into his mind and halted his mind.
The insect magnate was still struggling, but once the demon Qi seeped into every corner of his brain, he was refined into a weapon and stopped moving.
Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief, he nodded at Gu Hongzi and Fang Jiange. The other two kept their divine sword and skill while Zhong Yue also kept the Xuan Yin Hundred Demon banners. The insect magnate was seen standing in front of Zhong Yue; he was only as tall as Zhong Yue’s knees.
The insect magnate was looking up at Zhong Yue with a pair of eyes filled with fear and terror. However, he would often show his sharp teeth with great killing intent flashing across his eyes. It felt like he was trying to disobey and betray his master but didn’t quite dare to do so.
It was also the first time Zhong Yue even did this, turning the insect Qi Practitioner into his Gu insect. He wasn’t familiar with the skill and was thus unable to refine the insect magnate perfectly.
Furthermore, the insect magnate was in the Imminent Deity level, which added even more instability to the refinement process.
However, as time passed, and with the increase in his prowess, it would become easier to control the insect magnate.
It was only now that the his control would be rather unstable and unwieldy.
So your name is Chun Bao’er, Zhong Yue searched through the insect magnate’s memories and his heart skipped a beat. The memories in the insect magnate’s brain was shattered into pieces, but most of the memories he was able to see were the times he spent plundering planets of their resources.
The insect planet was a lone star that wandered the endless universe. It devoured any living planet they saw and pillaged every usable resource from them. Whether it be living beings or metal, or any other thing else, the insect army would swarm in and leave yet another barren waste planet in the universe.
Along the way to the Ancestral Star, there were more than a countable number of planet that the insect race devoured. Countless living beings were eaten away, and there wasn’t a single insect that was innocent in the insect race.
However, Bao Chun’er was just a low-tier insect in the insect race, there wasn’t much information about the insect race higher-ups or what they had planned. The insect race was a race that valued blood lineage, and your status solely depended on your bloodline.
Thus, even though Bao Chun’er was strong, he was still regarded as a low-tier insect that could be sacrificed anytime. Furthermore, the low-tier insects were typically less intelligent than the others, and so it was only natural that he didn’t know anything about the insect races more strategic plans.
But, there was one thing that Zhong Yue was able to learn from Bao Chun’er’s memories.
That was the insect planet has been wandering in the universe, searching and drawing nearer to the Ancestral Star!
In recent years, the Golden King insects and mother gods accidentally revealed that the insect planet was tracking toward the Ancestral Star with the help of a teleportation tunnel formed by their ancestors many thousand years ago!
Along the way, the insect planet devoured many planets but never deviated far from its course toward the Ancestral Star!
Not long ago, Bao Chun’er heard from a higher-up of the Golden King insect that the Ancestral Star was now within reach and that they would arrive very soon!
Zhong Yue extracted the information he needed and told it to Gu Hongzi and Fang Jiange. Immediately, their hearts tightened.
“We have to tell the gods behind!” The three of them discussed amongst themselves and reached to an agreement.
They instantly approached Yan Mother and the other gods, telling them the information. The gods all got worked up in anxiety while Yanmo He , “We will deal with whatever will come at us. Which is exactly why we are here: to scout out the strength of the insect race and set on an appropriate plan after that. There is simply no need to be so shocked. Now, Zhong Yue, I ask you, are the banners you cast out just now the divine weapons of my demon race?”
He sneered frigidly and said in a placid tone, “Such demon divine weapons are regarded as the saint weapon of the demon race, it might cost you your life if you wield it. I suggest you give it back to us. Furthermore, how dare you learn the cultivation techniques of the demon race? You are just a mere human, who gave you the courage to leech off of the demon race? Brat, abolish this cultivation technique and I can spare your life!”
