Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1489 Battle Against the Insect Swarm (Part Two)

The moment Liu Changxu was knocked away, excruciating pain swept through his entire body, but he didn't hesitate for a moment. He suppressed the metallic taste in his throat and, with a thought, unleashed the laws of space. Ripples spread across the surrounding void, and his figure instantly disappeared from this area, escaping the relentless pursuit of the three ninth-tier superior insect emperors.

Immediately afterward, his thoughts shifted again, and he activated his time-law supernatural powers one after another. It was as if an invisible halo enveloped his body, and whenever the terrifying spiritual light of the Insect King was about to arrive, he could always turn his body at the last second, avoiding the attack as if he had foreseen it in advance.

Seeing this, the three ninth-tier superior insect kings felt powerless. Their attacks had clearly touched the corner of his clothes, but he always managed to evade them with his strange movements. No matter how fierce their attacks were, they could not truly hurt Liu Changxu. They could only watch helplessly as he moved around in the encirclement.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Law of Time. It can trace back minute moments of time in an instant, giving the user a chance to survive. However, such a supernatural power consumes a terrifying amount of magical energy. Fine beads of sweat have already seeped from Liu Changxu's forehead, and his breathing is slightly disordered.

On the other side, the spirits of the innate spiritual treasures such as the Ruyi Golden Spirit Pearl, the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron, and the Red Lotus World-Destroying Seal immediately transformed into three dazzling streams of light upon sensing that their masters were in danger, and precisely rushed towards their respective ninth-tier superior insect emperors.

The golden planet, formed from the Ruyi Golden Spirit Pearl, carrying a terrifying force capable of crushing the starry sea, crashed into the giant scorpion-like insect king. Although the giant scorpion insect king was fierce and unparalleled, it dared not take the blow head-on upon seeing such power. It immediately used its spatial teleportation ability to narrowly avoid the heavy attack. The golden planet crashed into empty air, creating a visible shockwave.

The Crimson Lotus Annihilation Seal, trailing a long fiery tail and carrying the scorching, sea-boiling crimson lotus karmic fire, crashed towards the beetle-shaped Insect King like a meteorite falling to earth. The Insect King dared not meet the attack head-on and could only awkwardly use its spatial abilities to dodge, making it difficult to focus its attacks on Liu Changxu.

The Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron hovered high in the sky, its mouth spewing forth Great Sun True Fire that cascaded down like a golden waterfall, turning the entire airspace into a dazzling golden sea of ​​fire. The Mosquito King, though small in size, was extremely alert. Seeing the True Fire approaching, it immediately flapped its wings and flew away, transforming into a blur as it dodged left and right. Although it avoided being directly burned, the edges of its wings were still charred black, and its flight speed was noticeably slower.

The three ninth-tier treasures displayed their divine power, successfully restraining the three ninth-tier superior insect kings, which greatly reduced the pressure on Liu Changxu.

Having experienced the terrifying combat power of three ninth-tier superior insect kings, Liu Changxu immediately changed his tactics. The Heaven-Turning Sea-Overturning Halberd, the Ruyi Void Mirror, and the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp all changed direction, concentrating all their attacks on a single point, and pounced fiercely towards the beetle-shaped insect king that was being entangled in the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The Heaven-Turning Halberd transformed into a silver lightning bolt, its body shrouded in a terrifying aura of earth-shattering destruction, and shot towards the ninth-tier superior-grade insect king.

The silver light emitted by the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror instantly spread into a net, like an invisible shackle, tightly locking the beetle's movement trajectory.

The Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp continuously emitted a dark purple soul-destroying divine light, directly attacking the Beetle King's soul barrier and piercing deep into its sea of ​​consciousness.

"hiss--!"

The moment the Soul-Destroying Divine Light entered its body, the Beetle King let out a heart-wrenching screech, the intense pain from its soul causing its entire body to convulse violently.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Covering Halberd shot out like a silver streak of light, its sharp tip carrying the immense power to shatter mountains and split rocks, mercilessly piercing into the beetle king's carapace.

With a muffled "plop," the halberd tip pierced deep into its body, and dark green fluid mixed with shattered internal organs gushed out. The beetle king let out an extremely shrill scream, its massive body trembling violently, having suffered a severe injury on the spot. Immediately afterward, a crimson lotus immortal sword, wrapped in scorching flames, transformed into a streak of crimson light, shooting in close succession after the Heaven-Turning Halberd. It precisely found the wound on the beetle king's body and pierced it like a dagger, the flames on the sword instantly spreading along the wound, scorching its internal organs and inflicting an even more severe injury than before.

The dark green fluid, mixed with the smell of burning, gushed out even more rapidly, and the beetle king's hiss was filled with the despair of impending death.

However, this ninth-tier superior insect king was indeed profound in its foundation. Even though it was severely injured, it still unleashed an astonishing will to survive. It suddenly arched its body, and strong energy fluctuations burst out from the gaps in its carapace, actually shattering the silver confinement of the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror.

"Buzz—" The light of the Void Mirror dimmed for a moment. The Beetle King seized this opportunity, dragging its broken body, and desperately flapped its remaining wings, fleeing into the distance, leaving only a bloody trail that slowly dissipated in the air.

"Trying to run?" Liu Changxu's eyes darkened. He was about to activate his magical treasure to give chase when he saw that the two insect kings, the giant scorpion and the mosquito, had already broken free of their restraints and were rushing towards him, clearly trying to buy time for their companions to escape. He could only temporarily suppress his thoughts of pursuing the enemy and concentrate on dealing with the counterattack before him.

Although Liu Changxu was unwilling, he knew that it was not advisable to pursue them at this moment. He could only temporarily give up the pursuit of the beetle king and instead focus on dealing with the fierce attacks of the other two beetle kings.

With a thought, the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror immediately changed direction, and a dazzling silver mirror light shot towards the giant mosquito king like a sharp sword. The mirror light spread out in the air in an instant, turning into a dense net of light, intending to firmly imprison it in the void.

At the same time, Liu Changxu commanded the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp and the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd to turn around and launch a fierce attack on the giant scorpion insect king.

The Soul-Destroying Light emitted by the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp pierced the giant scorpion's soul, while the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd swept across its body with earth-shattering force. One attacked the soul, and the other destroyed the physical body, working together with fierce precision.

Seeing this, the Giant Scorpion King suddenly raised its tail hook, bringing with it a jet-black poisonous mist to meet the divine light. At the same time, it crossed its giant pincers in front of its body to withstand the heavy blow of the Heaven-Turning Sea-Overturning Halberd. With a loud "clang", sparks flew everywhere, but it also blocked the attack of the Heaven-Turning Sea-Overturning Halberd.

Immediately afterward, the battle escalated dramatically, erupting into an even more brutal melee. More than twenty ninth-tier insect emperors swarmed in like a dark cloud, completely surrounding Liu Changxu. Their pincers flew, their venomous stingers flashed, and attacks imbued with terrifying power came from all directions, almost completely sealing off any space for escape.

Although Liu Changxu managed to hold on with the help of numerous spiritual treasures, the golden barrier formed by the Ruyi Golden Spirit Pearl continuously repelled the insect kings' attacks, the true fire spewed from the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron formed a sea of ​​fire, temporarily repelling the approaching enemies, and the Crimson Lotus World-Destroying Seal rampaged through the swarm of insects, smashing their armor and splattering their bodily fluids. Even so, facing the relentless onslaught of more than twenty ninth-tier insect kings, he ultimately could not defend himself completely.

In the midst of the melee, the tail hook of a giant scorpion king broke through his defenses and lashed out at his shoulder. Although the Ruyi Golden Armor blocked most of the force, it still made his blood surge. The giant pincers of another beetle king grazed his ribs, leaving several deep, bone-revealing scratches on his armor, and even the sturdy Ruyi Golden Armor was damaged.

Liu Changxu gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, his hands constantly shifting through hand seals as he commanded his magical treasures in a desperate battle against the Insect King. In an instant, the spiritual light of the treasures, the demonic energy of the Insect King, and splattered bodily fluids intertwined into a chaotic battlefield, every moment filled with life-or-death clashes. Although he hadn't fallen behind thanks to the advantage of his numerous magical treasures, he was already in grave danger, his wounds were multiplying, and his breathing was gradually becoming erratic.
