Chapter 283: Messenger of the Divine King

“The Purple Sky Seal!”
After shoving the golden insect away, Chen Xiao didn’t stop. With a fierce roar, the domain that had always surrounded his body suddenly detached and transformed into a giant purple palm, reaching out to grab the golden insect.
This purple palm was a powerful combat technique from the Purple Sky Realm—the Purple Sky Seal. It condensed the power of the Purple Sky Shadow and the nine major domains derived from the Supreme Divine Entity, making it incredibly formidable.
The massive palm seized the insect, which was already dazed from Chen Xiao’s attacks. Immediately afterward, two dark beams of light shot from Chen Xiao’s eyes.
Boom!
The void trembled as the dark giant ship pierced through space and took shape. In an instant, the purple palm, holding the golden insect, plunged into the ship.
“Dark Giant Ship, suppress it!”
Chen Xiao’s eyes turned completely black as he formed an extremely complex seal with his hands. In a flash, all the power of the Supreme Divine Entity within him transformed into pure dark divine power, flooding into the ship frantically.
“Squeak!”
The golden insect, now inside the dark giant ship, finally felt fear. It let out terrified cries, trying to send out mental signals. But although this ship had lost its supreme divine artifact, it was still a true spirit artifact. Suppressing an insect of a true god level wasn’t very difficult.
Though this race dared to devour stars, the power of this true spirit artifact was even more terrifying than that of stars—energy beyond what this insect could consume.
The only reason they could devour Chen Xiao’s Supreme Divine Power was because his strength was still weak; he couldn’t even unleash one ten-thousandth of its full power. If Chen Xiao had reached the divine level now, truly possessing the power of a deity and fully activating the power of his Supreme Divine Entity, he could likely erase all insects in this space with a mere wave of his hand.
But right now, he couldn’t do that. Though he had the power to fight deities, his soul remained mortal, insufficient to unleash the true power of his Supreme Divine Entity.
So, for now, he could only rely on the power of the artifact to suppress the insect. Of course, if he wanted to kill it now, it wouldn’t take much effort. Though the insect’s shell was hard, even a true spirit artifact would be shattered under his attack.
What Chen Xiao wanted was to capture it alive, using it to command this terrifying army of insects and claim them as his own.
The power within the dark giant ship surged from all directions, pressing down on the golden insect.
A fraction of Chen Xiao’s Supreme Divine Power controlled ten times as much power within the ship—this was the might of an artifact.
Gradually, the insect was suppressed beyond movement, sending out waves of submissive thoughts from its mental force.
“Hmph, you cunning insect. Surrendering now? Do you really think I’ll believe you?”

Chen Xiao ignored the thoughts sent by the insect and continued to draw power from the Dark Giant Ship to suppress it.
…
“Captain, it’s the insect devourers! There are so many of them—they’ve spread throughout the entire galaxy!”
At the edge of this galaxy, a red-haired woman suddenly appeared, her body surrounded by intense elemental fire energy.
Immediately afterward, three more figures appeared beside her—two men and one woman.
“Damn it, these insect devourers are beyond our capabilities. We need to return to headquarters and send more troops to help.”
The captain was a silver-haired man with fair skin, dressed in a silver robe. His silver eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
“What’s going on with those bastards who were supposed to guard the seal? So many insect devourers have escaped all at once…” The silver-haired man sighed. “Returning to headquarters—we can’t handle these insect devourers. We might even have to risk our own lives.”
These four—two men and two women—were actually deities.
“Captain,” suddenly, a brown-haired, muscular man frowned. “There seems to be something wrong with these insects.”
“Hm?” Hearing the brown-haired man’s words, the other three stopped and looked toward the swarm of insects.
“That energy… is it a True Spirit Artifact?!” The silver-haired captain exclaimed in shock.
“That’s right, it’s a True Spirit Artifact! Could it be that some god king has intervened?” The muscular man took a deep breath. “If a god king has stepped in, then these insects can’t cause any harm.”
“Should we go meet that god king?” The red-haired woman asked, her brows slightly furrowed in uncertainty.
“Better not. God kings have peculiar temperaments. In their eyes, we’re nothing but ants. They won’t care about ants coming to pay respects. Let’s just leave,” the silver-haired man said after taking a breath.
“Besides, this True Spirit Artifact has a dark attribute… the Dark God King…”
“Wait…” Suddenly, the blonde woman who had remained silent until now spoke up. “Look at those insects!”
“Hm?” The four deities once again glanced at the massive swarm of insects in the galaxy.
At that moment, the dense swarm of insects seemed to have received some command and began rushing rapidly toward the Dark Giant Ship.
In just a few breaths, the entire swarm that filled the galaxy rushed into the Dark Giant Ship.
“Hmm, the Dark Giant Ship is filled with the power of the Supreme God. If those insects are fed with that power, I wonder how big they’ll grow…” Chen Xiao thought to himself, feeling proud. After suppressing them, he had completely tamed the golden insect and made it his subordinate.
Chen Xiao possessed countless treasures and a hundred ways to subdue this insect.
Now that he controlled this insect, it meant he controlled the brain of the entire insect army, thus controlling the whole swarm.

But in the next moment, Chen Xiao’s mind stirred slightly as he sensed those four true gods at the edge of this galaxy. At the same time, those four true gods also noticed Chen Xiao’s presence. Just now, the entire galaxy was filled with insects, and Chen Xiao was submerged in their army, so those four would never have noticed him. Now that the insect army had been removed, Chen Xiao, alone and floating in the cosmic space, was naturally very conspicuous. “That man… he’s not a God King. How is that possible? Could he be a messenger of the God King?” The captain stared at Chen Xiao in disbelief.
