Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1469 The Insect Swarm Appears

Because this matter concerns the survival of the Great Han Dynasty and the Liu family, preparations for dealing with the great calamity are progressing extremely quickly.

The first thing to be deployed was the interstellar teleportation array and communication array that directly connects Taibai Star to Bailing Star and Xuanhuang Star.

Meanwhile, the upgrading of the Liu family's ancestral land protection formation and the opening of secret realms are also progressing steadily.

Late at night on September 18th, 2218 of the Great Han Dynasty, deep in the starry sky, countless trillions of miles away from Venus.

The once silent, inky void suddenly showed a barely perceptible distortion, like a needle piercing a calm surface of water, which then transformed into a vortex the size of a bowl, with an eerie purplish-black halo around its edges and faint, fragmented spatial cracks flickering within it.

In the blink of an eye, the vortex expanded wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Wherever it passed, stars were swallowed up and light was distorted. In less than half an incense stick's time, it expanded to an unimaginable extent. The center of the vortex was as black as ink, as if it were connected to another chaotic dimension.

"Om-"

After a deep, muffled groan that seemed to come from the depths of the soul, countless figures surged out of the vortex. They were countless giant insects, some with steel-like exoskeletons and legs that gleamed like sharp blades; some with membranous wings that ripped through space with a shrill whistle when they flapped; and some even had mouthparts that opened and closed, dripping mucus that corroded the surrounding meteorites into nothingness.

They bared their fangs and claws, densely covering the entire starry sky. Wherever they passed, stars shattered and nebulae dissipated. They carried with them a terrifying aura that could destroy the world, pressing down relentlessly towards Venus.

Liu Changxu, who was meditating with his eyes closed on the top of Peach Blossom Mountain on Taibai Star, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the depths of the starry sky. Before long, he saw the surging tide of insects and his heart tightened.

This great calamity has finally arrived.

Upon discovering the presence of the alien insectoid army, Liu Changxu immediately sent an alert about the insectoid attack to the three holy lands of the human race. At the same time, he ordered the Liu family's top leaders to convene an emergency meeting.

Soon, the Liu family's senior members, who were on Golden Ring Island, had all gathered in the council hall, each with a solemn expression on their face.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Liu Changxu did not engage in any pleasantries and directly issued an order according to the previously agreed plan: the entire Great Han Dynasty and the Liu family should immediately enter a state of full combat readiness.

"Issue my decree," he said in a steady yet authoritative voice, "The relocation of mortals and citizens of the Immortal Dynasty shall commence immediately. All those willing to enter the secret realms to escape the calamity shall be registered in their respective regions and escorted to their designated secret realms in batches, completing the first relocation as soon as possible."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd as he said:

"Furthermore, all mountain-protecting and city-protecting formations in various locations are to be fully activated immediately, with their defensive capabilities set to maximum. All armies of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty in various locations are to enter a state of first-level combat readiness, ready to engage in battle at any time!"

"I will obey your orders!"

The crowd responded in unison, and the sound of their robes billowing as they rose was filled with the solemnity of impending battle.

Finally, Liu Changxu turned his gaze to his wife, Murong Yuyao, and said with a hint of entrustment in his voice:

"Yuyao, I will first go to the starry sky to investigate. The defense of the Immortal Dynasty and the family will be entrusted to you to oversee and coordinate." "Your Majesty, I obey."

Murong Yuyao curtsied and replied, her brows furrowed with undisguised concern:

"Your Majesty is going alone, so please be extra careful and do not underestimate the enemy."

Liu Changxu nodded slightly and said no more. With a flicker, he transformed into a dazzling streak of light and left the council hall, then broke through the clouds and disappeared into the horizon.

When he reappeared, he was in the vast starry sky. The surroundings were deep darkness, dotted with distant stars, and only the faint light stirred up by the flow of magic power illuminated his resolute face.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Changxu discerned the direction from which the insectoid army was attacking. His spiritual light intensified, transforming him into a streak of light as he flew swiftly towards the faintly visible dark tide formed by countless insect shadows.

This time, Liu Changxu went to the starry sky alone, not only to find out the size and number of the Zerg army, but also to take the opportunity to test the enemy's true combat strength.

More importantly, he wanted to kill as many Zerg as possible before they arrived at Taibai Star, so as to reduce the defensive pressure on the various races on Taibai Star and thus reduce their losses.

As the distance continued to close, the suffocating vastness and terror of the Zerg army surged towards us like a tidal wave.

As far as the eye could see, countless enormous insect shadows spread across the starry sky, densely packed, blotting out the sun, like a raging, surging sea. Ignoring the deathly silence and coldness of the starry sky, they surged forward madly, tearing apart floating star debris in an instant, turning it into dust and merging into the swarm; the remaining meteorite fragments were rapidly dissolved under the swarm's devouring, leaving not a trace; even the thin interstellar dust was swept away by them.

That greedy and tyrannical aura could be clearly felt even across the distant starry sky, as if it wanted to devour the entire universe.

Liu Changxu stood suspended in the starry sky, looking at the ever-approaching "swarm of insects," his brows furrowed. The scale and destructive power of this swarm far exceeded previous estimates. It seemed that this tough battle would be even more difficult than imagined.

Seeing the vanguard of the insect swarm enter his attack range, Liu Changxu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he immediately made his move.

He rapidly formed hand seals, runes flowing from his fingertips, drawing upon the spatial power of the surrounding starry sky. In an instant, the void in front of the insect swarm twisted and tore apart, countless sharp spatial rifts shooting out like silver snakes, weaving into a violent spatial storm. Within the storm, rubble was pulverized, light was distorted and refracted, emanating a chilling aura of destruction.

"Go!" Liu Changxu shouted, and the spatial storm, like an invisible giant hand, swept towards the surging insect horde with overwhelming force.

The insect swarm at the forefront was instantly swallowed up by the spatial storm. The hard insect shells were torn to shreds like paper under the spatial storm. Countless giant insects turned into blood mist in the storm, and were completely annihilated before they could even let out a hiss.

The spatial storm continued to advance, instantly shredding countless giant insects into blood mist and fragments in its wake. It forcefully tore open a massive gap stretching for thousands of miles in the dense insect swarm, revealing an even more turbulent insect swarm behind it.

Just as the spatial storm continued to advance, the void in front of the insect swarm suddenly distorted.

A silver beetle suddenly appeared. When it first appeared, it was only about ten feet in size, with its carapace covered with exquisite and intricate patterns. As soon as it appeared, its size expanded wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, it had grown to a size that blotted out the sky, like a silver giant star suspended in the starry sky, blocking the swarm of insects.
