Chapter 557 - Insects
Mother Da Zhen was groaning in pain, her voice sounding like thousands of insects speaking in unison. Zhong Yue felt as though there were many tiny insects biting at his body, even his Yuan Shen felt the same!
It’s not a groan, it’s a skill!
By the time he realized it, his blood essence, arcane energy and psyche were starting to fade away from him!
The sound of Mother Da Zhen’s groans formed into totem patterns that affected his mortal body and Yuan Shen. These tiny totem patterns changed into the little insects that relentlessly gnawed at him!
It was a skill he had never come across before, so bizarre and nearly indefendible. This was a skill that only the insect race would come up with!
Zhong Yue let out a yell and cast out Feng Xiaozhong’s 【Dragon Shears】, visualizing them to kill the insects infecting his mortal body and Yuan Shen!
The 【 Dragon Shears】 were created by Feng Xiaozhong, and there wasn’t anything that it couldn’t shear away. Although Mother Da Zhen’s skill was strong, the little insects stood no chance in the face of the 【Dragon Shears】!
“Cast!" Zhong Yue yelled and the Divine Wing Saber burst out in rays. A bright light ray made a beautiful arc across the field and slashed right at Mother Da Zhen!
“Brat, you are the cause of everything!" Mother Da Zhen shouted vociferously. Her hands enlarged into two huge claws, one was raised against the incoming Divine Wing Saber and the other struck toward Zhong Yue!
Bang, bang, bang—
A series of blunt sounds reverberated through the sky. Mother Da Zhen reverted back into her true form, a mother insect larger than mountains with many snake-like tentacles that were all hundreds of feet long.
On her back was a hooked scorpion tail, and there were many bulging pouches on her back. These huge pouches looked like those that would belong to the poisonous toads.
On her belly, there were many chimney looking protrusions whose functions were still unknown.
Her body was covered in hard shells, and even after the sacrificial ritual, they were still glimmering in faint golden rays like divine gold.
On the shells, there were many huge and tall spikes!
The mother insect’s upper half body was like a demon lady, she had ebony hair that rolled down to the waist of her lithe naked body. Her cherry lips and blushed cheeks made for a tantalizing sight — she was definitely a beauty among beauties, provided that she kept her mouth closed.
When her mouth opened, an array of sharp teeth were revealed along with many thin tentacles that spread out in all directions!
Dang—
The huge claw clashed with the Divine Wing Saber and sparks lit up the surrounding for a split second. Zhong Yue roared and cast out his ten thousand feet tall Fuxi True Spirit. The Fuxi True Spirit took a step forward and merged with his mortal body.
The sounds of bone cracking came from within his body as he grew into a 10,000 feet tall Fuxi celestial. The arcane energy in him gushed into the Divine Wing Saber and the saint weapon shone as the image of a huge golden Peng suffused with a divine aura faintly appeared in the sky!
Chi!
Mother Da Zhen’s huge claw was sliced through, and the saint weapon continued slashing into her body!
The Divine Wing Saber sliced into her meat and broke the poisonous pouches on her back.
Meanwhile, the tentacles shot through the air and reached to the front of Zhong Yue.
Dong—
Totem patterns surged out around his body and the【Shao Hao Bell】 formed to block the tentacles. But before long, cracks started to emerge on the surface of the translucent bell.
Pu, pu, pu—
The tentacles jabbed through the 【Shao Hao Bell】, piercing right through Zhong Yue’s mortal body.
The tentacles pierced through his body and came out from the other end, the tip of the tentacles then turned into sharp hooks with barbs.
When Mother Da Zhen pulled the tentacles back with great force, the barbed hooks sank deep into Zhong Yue’s meat and the tentacles lifted him off the ground.
Mother Da Zhen’s mouth opened like a blooming flower with many layers of petals while the tentacles brought Zhong Yue closer toward her.
One insect, one human, both were going all out to kill one another. Zhong Yue’s Divine Wing Saber sliced Mother Da Zhen’s claw away and slashed into her back. Mother Da Zhen pierced through Zhong Yue and was dragging him over to eat him.
Zhong Yue was raised into the air and brought closer to her mouth. But even despite such circumstances, there didn’t seem to be any fear visible on his face.
He was still casting on the Divine Wing Saber. Although the saint weapon slashed into Mother Da Zhen’s back, it couldn’t go any deeper. But, as Zhong Yue surged more of his arcane energy into the saint weapon, the Divine Wing Saber exploded away!
At that instant, tens of thousands of Golden Peng Swords flew out in all directions like shrapnel within Mother Da Zhen’s body.
The Divine Wing Saber was only left with just its main frame which was forged from Lord Kun’s wingbone.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue was already right in front of Mother Da Zhen’s mouth!
“Swords!" Zhong Yue shouted. The Divine Wing Saber’s wingbone bolted up into mid-air in just the blink of an eye. Golden rays shone bright inside of Mother Da Zhen’s body as the Sword Qi burst out inside of her body.
Shua, shua, shua—
Countless Golden Peng Swords protruded out from her mortal body, returning to the Divine Wing Saber at just the drop of a hat!
Mother Da Zhen cried out loud. The soundwaves that were blasted out of her mouth struck right on Zhong Yue’s face, causing blood to trickle out from the apertures on his head.
Bang!
The mother god’s mortal body crumbled into many huge chunks and pieces. The tentacles were still writhing on the ground like stranded fish.
There were still over a dozen tentacles hanging on Zhong Yue’s body, curling around and piercing into his body.
“Da Zhen, where is your Yuan Shen?" Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye and scanned everywhere for Mother Da Zhen’s Yuan Shen. Even with the Divine Wing Saber cutting down all of her mortal body, the mother god’s Yuan Shen was still nowhere to seen. It was truly out of his expectations.
“No matter where your Yuan Shen is, I will just have to completely destroy your mortal body. Without the mortal body, your Yuan Shen will die on itself!" The Divine Wing Saber was cast into the air and Zhong Yue slashed it down on the meat chunks on the ground.
All of a sudden, the meat chunks and tentacles on the ground flew up and gathered together, forming into another mother insect.
Mother Da Zhen’s legs moved unceasingly on the ground as she evaded the Divine Wing Saber. She suddenly chortled and the tentacles inside Zhong Yue’s body lifted him off the ground and moved him toward the Divine Wing Saber. She was planning to use the Divine Wing Saber to kill Zhong Yue himself.
“Break!" Zhong Yue yelled loudly. The Divine Wing Saber exploded into many parts and the Golden Peng Swords sliced away the protruding tentacles on his body.
Zhong Yue stood back on his feet, he clenched on the tentacles in his body and forcibly pulled them out. Although the tentacles were broken away, part of the tentacles and the hooks with barbs were still in his mortal body.
With him pulling out the tentacles from his body, his internal organs were also crushed in the process.
The tentacles were pulled out one by one, leaving his body a complete mess by the end of it all.
Zhong Yue coughed out a mouthful of blood, suddenly noticing tiny insects squirming within it. In his shock, he quickly turned into the form of the three-legged Golden Crow without any hesitation.
The divine fire burned viciously within and outside of his body as he tried to kill the insects.
The tentacles that pierced through him had left many insect eggs in his body. These insect eggs flowed in his blood and were carried all around his body. Some even managed to reach his head and tried to enter his brain!
If these insect eggs were incubated, the many insects would completely devour him from the inside within a matter of seconds!
Many of the insect eggs had even already incubated. He was still early in noticing them and taken necessary means to bring things under control.
The godly sunfire burned millions of insects into ash. Zhong Yue also visualized the 【Dragon Shears】 to kill the insect eggs in him.
From the time he initially noticed the insect eggs to when he killed them, it only a single second had passed.
Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief, and his mortal body turned back into the Fuxi True Form. His internal organs and wounds were also starting to recover.
The two of them stared intently at one another and saw the cautiousness in one another’s eyes.
“Zhong Yue, if it weren’t for me being in this gravely wounded state, you’d have been dead countless times over!" Mother Da Zhen walked around Zhong Yue carefully. She was huge like a mountain with many tentacles attached to her body. the scorpion tail on her back moved forward and its tip changed into the face of the beautiful woman, “I am truly surprised that you did not run but tried to fight me instead. Alas, you are still too naive to think that you can contend against me!”
Zhong Yue wiped off the blood trickling down his mouth while the Divine Wing Saber was raised in mid-air. He smiled and replied, “Da Zhen, am I really naive? I merely just spoke a few sentences and you were deceived into taking me as the lamp god, causing your cultivation base to wane to such a state that you, a god, can’t even kill a Qi Practitioners like me. Let alone that…”
“The gods of your insect race and the gods of the Ancestral Star were all ultimately died in my hands? I don’t even need to do it myself, all I to do is to attract the Xiao Mang grand ancestor to do my dirty work. In the end, even the Xiao Mang grand ancestor is now dead.!”
He gave a warm, bright smile and asked, “So, do you still think that I am too naive?”
Mother Da Zhen’s face changed drastically. The Divine Wing Saber suddenly burst out in power and slashed down with unstoppable momentum!
The chimney-like protrusions on Mother Da Zhen’s belly blew out thick smoke, and demonic rays lifted her huge mortal body up as she tried to escape!
“Come back down!" Zhong Yue bellowed. A saber ray flahsed, and the chimney protrusions were sliced down. Mother Da Zhen fell from the sky and crashed down into the ground. Suddenly, her tentacles lashed wildly and raised a curtain of dust. The next thing Zhong Yue knew was that a huge hole was left on the ground and she was already traveling underground.
“Zhong Yue, I can wait, but you can’t!" her voice came from underground as she traveled at great speed, “I don’t need to heal much of my injuries, just a little bit and it will be more than enough to kill you! If you are daring enough, you can try not to leave!”
“Well, that depends if you can escape from me!" The young man answered indifferently.
Krong!
The Divine Wing Saber pierced into the ground and the Golden Peng Swords burst out in all directions in the underground.
