Chapter 39: Arrival at the Nest
One million Alien Flying Dragons, divided into three layers, with each layer containing over three hundred thousand dragons, simultaneously stretched out their tails, ready to attack Jin Zun.
“Jin Zun, dodge! Use your speed to keep these Alien Flying Dragons from locking onto you, so they can’t attack,” Qu Yi warned from within the Dimensional Sphere.
Even the strongest among those Alien Flying Dragons was slower than Jin Zun. With Jin Zun’s speed, it was impossible for them to target him accurately.
Jin Zun nodded and vanished in a flash.
Suddenly, he reappeared beside an Alien Flying Dragon of the One-Star Heavenly Soul Monster level. With two swords in his hands, he plunged them into its body at the same time. The immortal energy he infused, transformed into the power of the Golden Element, instantly blew up the dragon’s body.
Boom…
The dragon’s body exploded, affecting tens of thousands of surrounding dragons, crippling many of them. Jin Zun, meanwhile, disappeared instantly, his whereabouts unknown.
“Attack! Attack! Attack freely!”
At that moment, the other leaders of the Heavenly Soul Monster-level Alien Flying Dragons, realizing Jin Zun’s plan, began to shout frantically.
In an instant, all the Alien Flying Dragons in the sky hurriedly stretched out their tails, creating large holes that immediately spewed out flame balls.
Millions of flame balls appeared in the air, rising fiercely and turning the space into a world of flames.
Jin Zun reappeared, but he was inside the Star Luo Cauldron.
The Star Luo Cauldron, now ten meters in size, floated in the air, unharmed despite the onslaught of flames.
The swarm of Alien Flying Dragons unleashed spells in a chaotic barrage, and Jin Zun couldn’t use his speed advantage. He had no choice but to rely on the Star Luo Cauldron to protect himself.
Of course, the swarm noticed the activation of the Star Luo Cauldron.
“Attack! Fire all flame balls at that Cauldron!” Hundreds of leaders of the Heavenly Soul Monster-level Alien Flying Dragons roared.
Seeing that the Cauldron hadn’t broken, they thought the flame balls were too weak and decided to concentrate a million flame balls to defeat Jin Zun at once.
Upon hearing the command, the one million Alien Flying Dragons stretched out their tails and simultaneously fired flame balls, all of which hit the Star Luo Cauldron.
“Those who oppose us insects are doomed,” all the Alien Flying Dragons thought as they fired their flame balls.
The situation…
All one million flame balls struck the Star Luo Ding, yet they only created a deafening explosion that shattered the void and sparked countless flames, without causing any damage to the Star Luo Ding at all.
How is that possible???
The group of Alien Flying Dragons froze in mid-air, utterly stunned, unable to believe their own eyes.
“Alien Flying Dragons, meeting me is your misfortune. Now, it’s my turn to attack,” Jin Zun shouted happily from inside the Star Luo Ding.
Suddenly, the Star Luo Ding disappeared, and Jin Zun’s figure vanished like a phantom.
The next moment, Jin Zun appeared beside a leader of the Alien Flying Dragons with the cultivation level of Two-Star Heavenly Soul Demon. His two swords pierced into its body again, and the power of the Golden Element World exploded its body. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, causing severe damage to the surrounding Alien Flying Dragons.
Without giving the group of Alien Flying Dragons time to react, Jin Zun swiftly moved to another leader with the cultivation level of One-Star Heavenly Soul Demon and skillfully thrust his swords into its body.
Boom…
Taking advantage of the shock caused by the Star Luo Ding, Jin Zun rushed to five more leaders of the Alien Flying Dragons in quick succession, eliminating them all and also harming the Alien Flying Dragons in those areas.
Naturally, the brutality of Jin Zun made the remaining Alien Flying Dragons realize the situation immediately.
“Retreat, retreat! All Alien Flying Dragons, return to your caves,” the remaining leaders in the sky ordered a retreat, knowing they couldn’t defeat Jin Zun.
Staying meant certain death, so these Alien Flying Dragons wouldn’t fight to the death in vain.
“Hahaha! If you want to escape, leave me a river of blood!” Jin Zun screamed wildly, moving swiftly to chase after the fleeing Alien Flying Dragons with a terrifying appearance.
Jin Zun accelerated to his fastest speed, appearing beside one after another of the Alien Flying Dragons. His two swords kept piercing into their bodies, and massive amounts of the power of the Golden Element World were injected into them, blowing them up while the explosive force also harmed the surrounding Alien Flying Dragons.
Blood mist quickly filled the sky, and the panicked screams of the terrified Alien Flying Dragons echoed throughout the land.
Jin Zun was like a god of death, invincible as he continued to slaughter the Alien Flying Dragons, especially those leaders with the cultivation level of Heavenly Soul Demon.
In a short time, Jin Zun killed 100,000 Alien Flying Dragons. The rest fled far away, so Jin Zun stopped chasing them and continued flying straight toward the Insect Race’s hive.
※※※
After Jin Zun broke through the encirclement of the alien flying dragon swarm, it seemed the insect race had already received word, as no other insects came out to stop him. Thus, Jin Zun flew forward without any resistance and now arrived at the insect race’s hive.
The hive was located in a massive rock cave, spanning thousands of miles in width, with the insect queen residing deep within its depths. Jin Zun reached the edge of the cave entrance, gazing at the thousand-foot-high opening and sensing the powerful aura of the insects inside. His face showed no sign of worry, only a faint smile.
“It seems I’ll have to fight my way all the way to the depths of the cave. Good, it’s time for me to take action,” Jin Zun said calmly.
Suddenly, Qu Yi emerged from the Dimensional Sphere.
“We’ve finally reached the insect hive. The primal energy of Tian Shou Star is also here in this hive—interesting,” Qu Yi said with a smile as he appeared.
Jin Zun raised the two swords in his hands and laughed, “Should we go in together, or let those supreme beast leaders come out to slaughter all the beasts in this hive?”
The Divine Weapon God had already sensed that there were thousands of Tian Po Monster-class insects in this hive, and the insect queen herself was a six-star Tian Po Monster with exceptional spiritual talent.
Though eager to fight, Jin Zun remained calm. It would be difficult for just him and Qu Yi to eliminate the entire hive. However, if those supreme beast leaders joined the battle, it would be much easier to deal with them.
“Jin Zun, no rush. Let’s attack first. If we release all those supreme beast leaders at once, the hive might even die of fear—then it wouldn’t be interesting,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
“Good, let’s charge in now!” Jin Zun exclaimed excitedly.
Qu Yi nodded and drew out his Haotian Sword as well.
At that moment, the aura of the insects inside the cave converged, as if they had received orders from the insect queen to gather and confront Jin Zun and Qu Yi.
“Let’s fight!” Qu Yi said with a faint smile before diving into the cave.
Jin Zun followed closely behind.
“Six Stars Connecting the Sky!” Qu Yi shouted as he entered the cave.
His Haotian Sword swung, releasing six massive fireballs, each containing the power of the Fire World. These fireballs expanded and covered the entire cave, instantly drowning the swarm of enraged insects that had come to confront them.
The Bouncing Insect possesses extraordinary natural jumping ability, with mature individuals even reaching the cultivation level of a Heavenly Soul Demon. Yet, faced with the Flame World at the level of a Six-Star Heavenly Soul Demon, no matter how good their jumping skills are, they can’t escape the sea of fire.
Whoosh… Amidst the roaring flames, only the pitiful cries of the Bouncing Insects could be heard before they lost their breath.
In his first attack, Qu Yi killed tens of thousands of Bouncing Insects, giving the insect race a severe shock.
“Esteemed one, let me show off too,” Jin Zun said mockingly from behind Qu Yi, seeing him eliminate the first wave of insects in one go.
Qu Yi shrugged and smiled, “There’s no rush. There are plenty of insects in this cave; you’ll get your chance to perform.”
Jin Zun chuckled and suddenly appeared in front of Qu Yi, saying, “Esteemed one, I’ll clear the way ahead. You take a rest.”
Without waiting for Qu Yi’s response, Jin Zun flew into the cave to take on the role of the vanguard.
Qu Yi was momentarily stunned before smiling and saying, “This guy seems afraid there won’t be enough insects to kill. He insists on attacking first. Well, I’m glad to have some free time and can just pick up leftovers behind.”
Soon after, Qu Yi also flew deeper into the cave to continue fighting the insects.
“No way! It’s the Explosive Insects that greet me! I can’t wait—attack me first! If you don’t kill me, I’ll still get covered in stench!” Jin Zun suddenly shouted from ahead.
It turned out that not long after entering, Jin Zun encountered another wave of insects—a swarm of Explosive Insects, numbering no less than a million.
What was even more terrifying was that these Explosive Insects all had the cultivation level of a One-Star Heavenly Soul Demon. If they all detonated simultaneously, even lower-ranked Heavenly Soul Demon warriors would find it impossible to withstand. Seeing this, Jin Zun was naturally shocked and immediately launched an attack.
“Two Swords, the strongest strike—golden light everywhere!”
With a roar, Jin Zun swung the two swords in his hands, unleashing the most powerful spell in an instant. When his immortal energy emerged, it transformed into six forms of golden energy from the Golden Element World. These energies then evolved into countless beams of golden light, golden threads, and golden needles…
The cave was filled with a world of golden light.
Boom, boom, boom.
Just as the Explosive Insects tried to fly up to Jin Zun to detonate, their bodies were pierced by various beams of golden light, threads, and needles in midair. Their condensed demonic energy was instantly released, preventing them from exploding. Moreover, under the attack of the “Golden Light Everywhere” spell, their bodies were torn to pieces, with most of them dying on the spot.
Jin Zun possessed the Xingluo Ding within him, and his immortal essence never ran out. Since he had already unleashed the most powerful spell for creating two swords, he no longer hoarded it. He continuously emitted golden light, launching wave after wave of attacks that wiped out all the exploding insects in his path.
Qu Yi watched from behind, shaking his head in disbelief.
