Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1474 The Ulcer of the Sacred Land of Tianchi
Just as Liu Changxu slew the second ninth-tier insect king, Murong Yuyao also seized the opportunity, manipulating the Snow Lotus Ice Soul Sword to precisely pierce the vital point of a ninth-tier insect king that resembled a dragonfly.

Having witnessed the fall of their kin, the remaining three ninth-tier insect kings were filled with fear and dared not linger in battle. They simultaneously flapped their wings, creating distorted spatial ripples around their bodies, and unleashed their spatial magic, fleeing rapidly into the distance. In the blink of an eye, they had torn through the void and vanished without a trace.

This time, Liu Changxu did not let them escape. With a flicker of his figure, he immediately used his spatial teleportation ability to chase after one of the ninth-tier insect kings that resembled a mantis.

Murong Yuyao originally wanted to pursue them as well, but after glancing at the swarm of insects that were still frantically attacking the island's protective formation, she changed her mind.

She turned and transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the swarm of insects. Her swordplay was fierce and unparalleled, and she began a frenzied slaughter of the massive insect population.

On the other side, Liu Changxu, who was in pursuit, far surpassed the speed of the insect king thanks to his exquisite control over the laws of time and space.

In a short while, he caught up with his opponent. He then summoned the Ruyi Void Mirror, and with a flash of light, a beam of silver light shot out, instantly imprisoning the mantis king in the void, rendering it unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp floated in the air and then shot out a dark purple soul-destroying divine light, accurately enveloping the Insect King.

The power of the Soul-Destroying Divine Light was terrifying, instantly severely damaging the Insect King's soul. The ninth-tier Insect King, writhing in excruciating pain, couldn't help but let out a sharp hiss.

Immediately afterwards, the thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords transformed into a blazing red light, roaring in with the force of burning the heavens and boiling the seas, and together with the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd that arrived later, locked onto the imprisoned ninth-order insect emperor.

A deafening roar erupted as the Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords wove together into a net, shattering the Insect King's defenses amidst raging flames; the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, carrying the force to shatter mountains and rivers, pierced its body fiercely.

Under such a devastating attack, the ninth-tier insect king didn't even have time to scream before it was completely annihilated, and even its primordial spirit couldn't escape. The shattered remains then fell into the sea, creating towering waves.

After killing the ninth-tier insect queen, Liu Changxu wanted to continue the pursuit, but the two ninth-tier insect queens were too fast and had already disappeared without a trace, so he had no choice but to give up.

Then, Liu Changxu's mind raced, and spatial ripples suddenly appeared in the void in front of him. A huge, transparent spiritual hand materialized out of thin air, its five fingers spread out, reaching towards the sea with overwhelming momentum.

The large hand precisely grasped the sinking remains of the ninth-tier insect king, held it firmly, and quickly withdrew it, storing it in its storage bracelet.

After confirming that nothing had been missed, Liu Changxu transformed into a dazzling streak of light and sped off towards Fireland Island.

When he arrived over Tierra del Fuego, the battle had already taken a dramatic turn. The Zerg army that had been frantically besieging Tierra del Fuego was now routed and scattered under Murong Yuyao's fierce offensive, with none of its previous arrogance remaining.

Seeing this, the cultivators of Fireland Island were greatly encouraged and rushed out of the island's protective formation to chase after the fleeing insectoid army.

Liu Changxu stood high in the sky, watching the fierce pursuit battle below. Seeing the cultivators' high morale and orderly cooperation, he immediately felt relieved.

However, he did not join the battle this time, but stood quietly in the sky to support the human cultivators.

By this time, the already routed Zerg army was completely disorganized. Some rushed aimlessly into the deep sea, while others stumbled around in all directions under the cultivators' encirclement, making it difficult to mount an effective counterattack. For the Fireland Island cultivators who participated in the pursuit, the threat was not great, and they were perfect targets for training.

The cultivators of Fireland Island were well aware of this, and they pressed their advantage, their sword light and spells weaving a vast net to relentlessly harvest the fleeing insectoids. The sea was covered with countless insect corpses. After the battle, the cultivators of Fireland Island busied themselves cleaning up and collecting the remains of the dead insectoids.

After Liu Changxu and his wife Murong Yuyao stored the remains of the three ninth-tier insect emperors that had fallen into the sea into their storage bracelets, they returned to their Fire Dragon Palace in the Fire Land Island clan territory.

"Your Majesty, I have just received distress calls from the Heavenly Pool Holy Land, the Nine Hua Holy Land, and the Kunlun Holy Land! They are all under siege by the Zerg army, and the situation is extremely critical. What do you think we should do?"

Murong Yuyao said with a melancholy expression:

"Humanity is in trouble, and there is no reason for me to stand idly by. However, I am currently unable to spare the time to provide assistance to each group individually. The situation is urgent, so I will now prepare to head to the Heavenly Pool Holy Land."

This is the helplessness of the strongest human being: he himself is in dire straits, yet has no one to rely on; but when others are in trouble, he must step forward. After all, if the foundation of humanity is shaken due to inadequate rescue efforts, his Great Han Immortal Dynasty and the Liu family will ultimately find no place to stay on this planet Taibai.

Seeing his anxious expression, Murong Yuyao quickly advised:
"Your Majesty has been engaged in fierce battles and your magical power has been greatly depleted. It would be better to rest for a while and wait until you are back to your peak condition before setting off. Otherwise, if you encounter a powerful enemy, it may be difficult to deal with him."

Upon hearing this, Liu Changxu pondered for a moment, then nodded, finding his wife's words reasonable.

"Alright."

After saying that, he turned and entered the secluded meditation chamber, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, and focused all his energy on circulating his cultivation technique to restore his magical power.

Two hours later, Liu Changxu finally restored his magical power to its peak.

He then got up and left the secluded chamber, saying to Murong Yuyao who was waiting outside:
"I'll set off now. Thank you for your help with the affairs of the tribe."

Murong Yuyao nodded and said:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured and take care on your journey."

Liu Changxu said no more, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he headed straight for the teleportation hall. He quickly stepped onto the platform of the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, and as the Liu family cultivator in charge of the array activated it, the runes on the platform instantly lit up, weaving into a dazzling net of light.

In an instant, an extremely strong spatial pulling force came, and the surrounding scenery began to distort and blur, as if it were being torn and folded by an invisible force.

Liu Changxu focused his mind and steadied himself, letting the spatial teleportation power envelop his entire body. The next moment, he vanished from his spot along with the light of the array, traversing endless space towards the direction of the Heavenly Pool Holy Land.

However, when Liu Changxu appeared on the teleportation platform of the Heavenly Pool Holy Land, the scene before him made his heart sink.

The once magnificent teleportation hall was now reduced to ruins, with bricks and tiles scattered all over the ground. Only the array platform beneath his feet remained intact; otherwise, he would probably have been trapped in the spatial turbulence.

What shocked him even more was that countless bizarre giant insects were rampaging through the ruins of the Heavenly Pool Holy Land, slaughtering human cultivators. The entire holy land had been reduced to scorched earth and ruins, and the beautiful scenery of the immortal realm had vanished, leaving only a suffocating stench of blood.
