Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1472 The Battle to Defend Taibai Star (Part Two)
Faced with the encirclement of five ninth-tier insect kings, Liu Changxu's eyes sharpened, daring not to be the slightest bit careless. In the blink of an eye, his body shone brightly, and thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords burst forth from his body first. Immediately afterward, innate spiritual treasures such as the Crimson Lotus World-Destroying Seal, the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron, the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp, the Ruyi Void Mirror, the Myriad Poison Pearl, and the Ruyi Golden Spirit Pearl also emerged from his body.

Thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords drew dazzling arcs in the air, instantly splitting into five groups: twelve of the immortal swords formed a twelve-grade Crimson Lotus Sword Formation, with numerous sword shadows, carrying raging flames that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas, rushing straight towards the silver-white Moth King.

The remaining four groups of Crimson Lotus Sword Formations, each composed of six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, locked onto the other four Insect Kings, their swords roaring like thunder as they hurtled towards them.

The Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron flipped in mid-air, transforming into a gigantic purple-gold cauldron ten thousand feet tall. The sun, moon, and star patterns engraved on the cauldron's body flowed and shone, carrying the power to suppress heaven and earth. It crashed down on the insect king that resembled a ladybug, and ripples spread through the void wherever it passed.

The Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda then emitted a thick, earthy-yellow halo, its body rapidly expanding into a colossal tower that spanned heaven and earth. The base of the tower was shrouded in a surge of mysterious yellow energy, like an unshakeable mountain, pressing directly down on the golden centipede king.

The Heaven-Turning and Sea-Covering Halberd transformed into a dazzling silver halberd stretching for thousands of miles. Its tip spewed out sharp gales, as if it could cleave through the Milky Way. With the momentum of collapsing mountains and splitting seas, it slammed fiercely towards the blood-red mantis insect king.

The Ruyi Golden Spirit Pearl transformed into a golden planet with a diameter of ten thousand miles. Like a meteor falling to earth, it dragged a long fiery tail and crashed into the Giant Scorpion Insect King. Wherever it passed, spatial storms swept through the void.

The Myriad Poison Pearl transformed into a dark green star, its surface shrouded in wisps of poisonous mist. Like a green meteor, it plunged into the Zerg army, then released a deluge of deadly poison gas.

The Crimson Lotus Annihilation Seal transformed into a giant golden seal the size of a mountain, rapidly swirling around Liu Changxu and shielding him from the deadly attacks of the ninth-tier Insect Emperors.

The Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror, hovering above Liu Changxu's left, emitted beams of dazzling silver light, instantly enveloping the blood-red mantis. The powerful spatial confinement force rendered the blood-red mantis unable to move in the void.

The Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp, hovering above Liu Changxu's right, continuously emitted a dark purple soul-destroying divine light, directly attacking the Blood Mantis's soul.

In an instant, the divine light of the spiritual treasure, the raging flames of the sword formation, and the roars of the insectoid race intertwined, and the entire airspace was violently shaken by this unprecedented battle.

Although Liu Changxu's counterattack was extremely fierce, the defensive power of the five ninth-tier insect kings' carapaces was too strong, so the thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords he unleashed only left shallow scorch marks and white marks on the carapaces of the five ninth-tier insect kings.

The silver-white moth's membranous wings suffered only minor injuries from the repeated slashes of the twelve immortal swords; the golden centipede's segmented carapaces gleamed with a metallic luster, and when the sword blades struck them, only a crisp "clanging" sound was heard, barely leaving a scratch.

Liu Changxu frowned slightly. Although the Crimson Lotus Immortal Sword was extremely sharp, it was clearly powerless against this ninth-order insect emperor with its heaven-defying defense.

On the other side, the Heaven-Turning Sea-Shattering Halberd, with its power to shatter mountains and split seas, left severe wounds on the Crimson Mantis with each strike; the silver mirror light of the Ruyi Void Mirror firmly imprisoned it in the void, and the soul-destroying divine light emitted by the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp further injured its soul, causing it unbearable pain.

On the other side, the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda smashed into the golden centipede, each blow causing it immense damage, forcing it to dodge in a sorry state; the Ruyi Golden Spirit Pearl transformed into a golden planet, bombarding the black giant scorpion again and again. Amidst the explosions of golden light, even though the giant scorpion had super strong defenses, it was quickly covered in wounds and had to frequently use spatial magic to evade.

The Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron flew to the top of the ladybug king's head. The Great Sun True Fire spewing from the cauldron released terrifyingly high temperatures, charring and deforming the star-patterned carapace on its back. The ladybug king let out a painful hiss, but was tightly trapped by the cauldron and could not break free. These powerful spiritual treasures, through brute force to break through defenses, through attribute restraint, or through continuous suppression, forced the four ninth-tier ladybug kings to retreat and dodge repeatedly. Although they did not perish, their defeat was already evident.

After gaining the upper hand, Liu Changxu did not dare to relax at all. This time, he focused his attack on the Blood Mantis, intending to kill it as soon as possible.

As Liu Changxu's offensive intensified, the blood-red mantis, already severely injured and imprisoned in the void, was quickly struck in a vital spot by the Heaven-Turning Halberd and perished on the spot, its soul unable to escape.

After dealing with the Blood Mantis, Liu Changxu commanded the Heaven-Turning Halberd, the Six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp, and the Ruyi Void Mirror to focus their attacks on the giant black scorpion.

Upon seeing the blood-red mantis fall, the giant black scorpion attempted to use its spatial abilities to escape. However, as the light from the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror enveloped it, it instantly transformed into a mosquito caught in a spider web, unable to move.

Then, the giant black scorpion was subjected to a series of fierce attacks from the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp, the twelve Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, and the Ruyi Golden Spirit Pearl. Its physical body suffered repeated severe injuries, and its soul was in excruciating pain.

Seeing this situation, the other three ninth-tier insect kings not only did not step forward to help the black giant scorpion, but instead turned around and ran away.

Liu Changxu was focused on dealing with the giant black scorpion and had no power to stop it, so he could only watch it escape.

Without the other three ninth-tier insect kings to restrain him, Liu Changxu immediately summoned the remaining innate spiritual treasures to work together to deal with the black giant scorpion.

With these magical treasures joining the battle, the black giant scorpion could no longer hold on and was quickly killed by the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd. Even its soul was completely annihilated by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Thus, Liu Changxu successfully won the battle and averted a huge disaster.

However, to Liu Changxu's surprise, even without the direct command of these few ninth-tier insect emperors, the insect army still surged towards Golden Ring Island like a torrent, following some kind of mysterious guidance.

Liu Changxu dared not delay and quickly used his spatial abilities to attack the Zerg army.

A spatial storm, a black hurricane, suddenly arose, swirling wildly with a terrifying, world-tearing force. The space at the storm's edge twisted into eerie arcs, fine cracks gleaming with a chilling light. Wherever it passed, the fragile bodies of low-level insectoids and the hard carapaces of high-level insectoids were instantly shredded to dust like paper, leaving not a trace. Black insect blood mingled with shattered carapaces in the storm, forming a foul-smelling blood mist, but it never even had a chance to reach the storm's center before being completely torn apart and annihilated.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, this overwhelming army of Zerg vanished into thin air under the ravages of the spatial storm.
