Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1488 Battle Against the Insect Swarm (Part 1)

Facing the overwhelming insectoid army, Liu Changxu showed no fear. With a thought, all thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, the Heaven-Turning Halberd, the Ruyi Void Mirror, and other innate spiritual treasures appeared, their dazzling light instantly illuminating the entire world.

The moment the thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords appeared, they suddenly swelled, instantly transforming into thirty-six giant swords tens of thousands of miles long. Raging crimson karmic flames erupted from their blades, the intense heat seemingly capable of incinerating everything in the world. Like thirty-six streaks of crimson light, carrying a world-destroying power, they locked onto more than thirty ninth-tier Insect Kings within the swarm and launched themselves forward with ferocious force.

The Ruyi Golden Spirit Pearl followed closely behind, transforming into a golden planet tens of thousands of miles in diameter. Surrounded by an immense, mountain-like pressure, it crushed down upon the swarm of insects with the force of Mount Tai. Wherever it passed, countless giant insects were utterly powerless to resist, instantly being crushed into a bloody pulp, their flesh and blood flying everywhere, creating a vacuum within the insect tide.

On the other side, the Crimson Lotus Annihilation Seal transformed into a gigantic golden seal spanning tens of thousands of miles, its surface shimmering with patterns of Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, carrying waves of heat that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas, and hurtling straight at a ninth-tier superior-grade insect king resembling a butterfly. The insect king's wings flapped, creating a cloud of poisonous mist, which instantly evaporated and dissipated under the scorching heat of the giant seal.

The Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda hung above Liu Changxu's head, transforming into a towering golden pagoda tens of thousands of feet tall. Layers of golden light curtains hung from the base of the pagoda, forming an indestructible barrier that blocked all the attacks from the insect kings and steadily protected his figure.

The Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron transformed into a giant purple-gold cauldron, spewing forth endless Great Sun True Fire from its mouth. The flames poured into the swarm of insects like a waterfall, and wherever they touched, the giant insects turned to ashes. The air was filled with the smell of burning, and the firelight illuminated half the sky.

Not to be outdone, the Overturning Heaven and Sea Halberd transformed into a giant silver halberd tens of thousands of miles long, its body shimmering with water-like spiritual light, resembling a silver dragon poised to pounce, locking onto a low-grade ninth-rank insect king and charging fiercely towards it.

At the same time, the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror and the Ruyi Extinction Lamp floated beside Liu Changxu, both targeting the insect king that was locked onto by the giant halberd.

The Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror shot out a condensed silver mirror light, instantly imprisoning the Insect King in the void, rendering it unable to move.

The Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp then spewed out a wisp of dark purple soul-destroying divine light, piercing straight into the Insect King's sea of ​​consciousness, severely injuring his soul on the spot, causing him to let out a painful shriek.

Before the ninth-rank low-grade insect king, which resembled a giant scorpion, could break free from its restraints, a crimson lotus immortal sword had already pierced through the air and struck its carapace fiercely with crimson lotus karmic fire.

"boom--!"

With a deafening roar, the giant scorpion's hard carapace shattered, revealing a deep wound that exposed bone, from which dark green blood gushed out.

Immediately afterward, the Heaven-Turning Sea-Overturning Halberd followed closely, its tip piercing precisely into the wound and then penetrating the insect king's massive body. The giant scorpion let out a final, mournful cry as its enormous body crashed into the sea. Just as its primordial spirit attempted to escape, it was completely incinerated by the ensuing Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, and it perished on the spot.

With a single move, Liu Changxu slew a ninth-tier insect king. His strength intimidated the surrounding insect swarm, but it also aroused the ferocity of more insect kings. Countless attacks came down like a storm, and an even more brutal battle had just begun.

At the same time, Jin Haonan, Zhang Wenping, Murong Yuyao, and Liu Fuhai also sought out opponents and plunged into the swarm of insects, engaging in fierce battles with a group of ninth-tier insect emperors.

Jin Haonan locked his gaze on a ninth-tier mid-grade insect king with a body resembling a cicada, and unleashed his supreme divine power to fight it. Zhang Wenping transformed into a streak of azure light, his spiritual treasure sword emitting a chilling sword aura as he directly attacked another ninth-tier mid-grade insect king with six wings. Relying on their profound cultivation, the two fought their opponents to a standstill, and for a time they were evenly matched.

Clad in pristine white, Murong Yuyao stood in mid-air, her slender hand waving, and thirty-six Snow Lotus Ice Soul Swords were simultaneously drawn. These spiritual swords, pure white and radiating a chilling aura, transformed into thirty-six white streaks of light under her control, attacking six low-grade ninth-rank insect kings. Amidst the clashing sword shadows, a chilling aura permeated the air, freezing even the void itself in their wake, forcefully blocking all the insect kings' attacks. Her skillful transitions between offense and defense were truly remarkable.

Liu Fuhai was not to be outdone. He summoned the Nine-Turn Golden Jade Pagoda and the Nine Suns Illuminating the Heaven Seal, the two treasures swirling and echoing each other in the air.

The Nine-Turn Golden Jade Pagoda cast layers of golden light, trapping two low-grade ninth-rank insect kings resembling mantises within. The pagoda's layers continuously contracted, compressing the opponents' space to maneuver.

The Nine Suns Illuminating the Heavens Seal hung atop the tower, spewing flames as intense as the sun, scorching the Insect King's body. He stood firmly in the void, calmly controlling the two treasures, maintaining a clear advantage despite fighting two opponents alone.

The four of them displayed their unique abilities, fighting the Insect Kings in a deafening battle. The roar of their magical artifacts intertwined with the howls of the Insect Kings, and the sky above the sea was filled with exploding light and shadow, with the energy surge almost tearing the clouds apart.

After slaying the first low-grade ninth-rank insect queen, Liu Changxu did not stop. With a thought, the Heaven-Turning Sea-Overturning Halberd, the Ruyi Void Mirror, and the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp followed closely, locking onto another low-grade ninth-rank insect queen.

The insect king resembled a centipede with a hundred legs. Seeing its companion fall, a trace of fear flashed in its eyes, but it still charged fiercely towards Liu Changxu.

The Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror struck first, its silver light flashing and instantly freezing it in mid-air; the Ruyi Miehun Lamp followed closely behind, its dark purple divine light piercing straight into its head, and with a scream, the Insect King's primordial spirit was severely injured; before it could break free of its restraints, the Tianchao Haiji Halberd, carrying a surging torrent of water, crashed down, its tip precisely piercing its carapace and pinning its massive body to the void.

In just a few breaths, this low-grade ninth-rank insect king followed in the footsteps of its predecessor, its primordial spirit annihilated and it perished completely under the combined attack of the three spiritual treasures.

Liu Changxu's gaze turned cold as he swept into the depths of the insect swarm. The spiritual treasure in his hand shone even brighter, clearly indicating that he had locked onto his next target.

The other ninth-tier insect kings were all shaken by Liu Changxu's terrifying combat power. Several low-grade ninth-tier insect kings were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, subconsciously avoiding his sharp edge and not daring to approach easily.

Deep within the swarm, the three most powerful ninth-tier superior insect emperors, upon seeing this, revealed a fierce glint in their eyes. They clearly realized that if Liu Changxu was not suppressed, the swarm would surely be routed. Immediately, these three insect emperors mobilized all their power, and terrifying beams of light containing destructive aura, like three torrents of meteors, ruthlessly slammed towards Liu Changxu.

"boom--!"

The three attacks converged, their power increasing several times over, instantly tearing apart the golden light barrier hanging from the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda. The moment the defense was breached, Liu Changxu felt an immense force strike him, his body involuntarily sent flying, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his face turning slightly pale.
