Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1479 The Second Battle of Golden Ring Island (Part 3)
Seeing that the other ninth-tier insect emperors had fled, Liu Changxu concentrated all his firepower on the ninth-tier superior insect emperor.

Seeing dozens of innate spiritual treasures hurtling towards it with earth-shattering force, the ninth-tier insect king, resembling a giant scorpion, felt a flicker of panic in its eyes, but this also aroused its ferocity, and it immediately launched a frenzied counterattack against Liu Changxu.

The once calm and still void was suddenly engulfed by a dark blue storm of spiritual energy. The storm began as a mere ripple, but in an instant, it expanded like a snowball, blotting out the sky and engulfing the entire void. With a destructive force, it swept towards Liu Changxu.

This storm was no ordinary magical force; fragments of space could be faintly seen flickering within it, sometimes twisting, sometimes tearing apart, revealing the strange and domineering nature of the laws of space.

Furthermore, wisps of dark green poisonous gas were mixed in, causing corrosive ripples even in the void wherever it passed, which was the sinister power of the Poison Dao Law.

The two laws intertwined and entangled, amplifying the storm's power. Even before it got close, it caused the surrounding spiritual energy to stagnate, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction.

Faced with the almost frenzied counterattack of the ninth-tier insect king, Liu Changxu's expression hardened, and the power of spatial laws around him surged suddenly. Transparent spatial barriers condensed like glass, layer upon layer, blocking the storm carrying the deadly poison from the outside. No matter how the poison gas corroded, the barriers remained as solid as a rock.

At the same time, the thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords transformed into crimson streams of light, roaring out like wildfire. The sword shadows intertwined to form a sword net that scorched the sky and boiled the sea, stabbing towards the vital points of the Insect Emperor's body.

The Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda suddenly expanded, transforming in an instant into a colossal tower reaching the heavens and the earth. Its body was enveloped in thick Xuanhuang energy, resembling a giant pillar supporting the heavens and the earth. It swept towards the ninth-tier Insect Emperor with terrifying power capable of destroying the world, and wherever it passed, the void was compressed and emitted an unbearable hum.

At the same time, a deep entrance cracked open at the base of the giant tower, revealing what seemed to be an endless space within. This space emitted a powerful suction force, continuously drawing in the surrounding poisonous mist. Once inside the tower, the toxic gas, strong enough to corrode metal and stone, was suppressed and purified by the tower's profound energy, making it impossible for it to cause any further disturbance.

The Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror, which was floating to Liu Changxu's left, suddenly lit up, and beams of condensed, almost tangible silver light burst forth, instantly enveloping the ninth-tier Insect Emperor like a silver net.

This silver mirror light appears gentle, but in reality it contains a terrifying power of spatial confinement. Wherever it passes, the surrounding void seems to be frozen, forming invisible shackles.

Although the ninth-tier insect king was powerful, it struggled fiercely after realizing it was being restrained and managed to break free from the silver mirror light's binding force. However, it was also tightly bound by this power, and its originally incredibly swift spatial teleportation became sluggish, its speed reduced by more than half, as if it were stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult to dodge as nimbly as before.

At the same time, the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp, which was suspended to Liu Changxu's right, had a dark purple flame flickering in its wick. Strands of condensed, silk-like soul-destroying divine light shot out and precisely enveloped the ninth-tier insect emperor.

This Soul-Destroying Divine Light is specifically designed to counter the soul. It silently invades the depths of the Insect Emperor's primordial spirit, gnawing at its soul like fine needles.

Although the primordial spirit of that ninth-tier superior insect emperor was powerful and could barely withstand the direct destruction of the Soul-Destroying Divine Light with its own cultivation, it could not withstand the continuous erosion.

A tearing pain emanated from the depths of its soul, making its movements increasingly sluggish. The fierce light in its eyes faded, replaced by an undisguised pain and anxiety.

The Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron suddenly expanded, transforming in an instant into a colossal cauldron entirely of purple-gold color. Its body shimmered with brilliant golden light, as if a blazing sun had been forged from metal. It carried the force of trillions of tons and crashed down upon the ninth-tier Insect Emperor. A deafening roar echoed through the void as the cauldron precisely struck the Insect Emperor's thick carapace, forcefully sending its massive body flying. Spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the carapace.

Before the ninth-tier Insect Emperor could regain its footing, the cauldron's mouth suddenly opened, and endless Great Sun True Fire erupted like magma, instantly transforming into a raging sea of ​​fire. The flames were golden in color, and their temperature was high enough to incinerate the void. In the blink of an eye, they engulfed the Insect Emperor's entire body. Within the flames, one could vaguely see the Insect Emperor struggling painfully in the sea of ​​fire, its carapace sizzling and emitting a burnt smell.

Immediately afterwards, the Crimson Lotus World-Destroying Seal, like a divine seal bearing the wrath of Heaven, crashed down with overwhelming divine might. Wherever it passed, the air exploded violently, and even the light was bent by this domineering power.

The ninth-tier insect king had just escaped the scorching heat of the Great Sun True Fire when it looked up and saw the giant seal crashing down on it. A hint of fear finally appeared in its eyes. It tried to escape with all its might, but was locked in place by the invisible pressure emanating from the seal.

"Boom——"

The giant seal crashed down with pinpoint accuracy, and the crimson karmic fire surged across the insect king's entire body like a tidal wave. Under the dual crushing force of the karmic fire, the carapace shattered inch by inch, and this originally ferocious ninth-rank superior insect king was instantly severely injured.

At that moment, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd charged in like a silver dragon, its illusory image of vast waves surging and roaring in mid-air, seemingly possessing the power to reverse rivers and overturn the heavens and earth. It carried a terrifying, world-destroying force, precisely targeting the wound on the back of the ninth-tier Insect Queen.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the sharp halberd tip pierced through the damaged carapace of the ninth-tier Insect King without any resistance, embedding itself deep within its body. The shimmering, illusory waves on the halberd instantly exploded, and a violent force raged within the Insect King's body, tearing apart its internal organs.

The Insect King let out an extremely shrill cry, its massive body convulsed violently, and its aura dissipated at a visible speed before it crashed heavily into the sea, creating a towering tsunami.

Just as the massive body of the ninth-tier insect emperor plunged into the sea, a golden light, as thin as a hair, quietly detached from its body. It was so fast that it was almost imperceptible, and in a flash it disappeared into the void without a trace.

Liu Changxu's eyes narrowed. He noticed the light almost the instant it appeared and instantly recognized it as the primordial spirit of a ninth-order insect emperor!

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately activated the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp. The lamp wick suddenly swelled, and a condensed, soul-destroying divine light shot out like lightning, directly targeting the golden light spot.

However, the primordial spirit was too fast. Although the Soul-Destroying Divine Light was fast, it was ultimately a fraction slower, barely grazing the edge of the light spot. It only startled the light spot, causing it to tremble slightly, but it still vanished into the distant void like an arrow, disappearing without a trace.

Liu Changxu frowned slightly as he looked in the direction where the light disappeared, feeling a pang of regret. But since he couldn't catch up now, he could only give up for the time being.
