Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1493 Counterattack (Part Two)

Just as Liu Changxu activated his spiritual treasure to launch an attack, Jin Haonan, Su Yuxue, Liu Fuhai, Liu Fuyin, and others also made their moves.

Jin Haonan wielded a giant golden sword, its blade shimmering with brilliant golden light. He swept it out with earth-shattering force, and with a loud "sizzle," a deep trench was cleaved open in the center of the insect nest.

Even more terrifying, the billions of golden sword energies that arose with the sword surged out of the crack like a burst dam, sweeping across all directions with an invincible sharpness.

No matter how hard their carapaces were or how densely packed they were, the swarming insectoids were as fragile as pieces of paper before the overwhelming sword energy. They were instantly shredded into dust, with blood, flesh fragments, and carapace shards falling like rain.

Su Yuxue then summoned a jade flute. The flute's melody was melodious yet concealed a deadly intent. The sound waves transformed into invisible blades, instantly shattering the souls of countless low-level giant insects.

Liu Fuhai's eyes narrowed, his magical power surged, and his hands quickly formed hand seals. In an instant, his two natal spiritual treasures appeared.

The Nine-Turn Golden Jade Pagoda radiates a warm, jade-colored glow. Each of its nine layers is engraved with intricate runes. When suspended in mid-air, it rotates slightly, exuding a powerful aura that suppresses all directions.

The Nine Suns Illuminating the Sky Seal radiates intense golden light, its surface engraved with a pattern of nine suns shining together. The moment it appears, it causes the surrounding air to become scorching hot.

"go with!"

Liu Fuhai gave a low shout, put two fingers together, and pointed sharply at the dark swarm of insects in front of him.

In an instant, the Nine-Turn Golden Jade Pagoda and the Nine Suns Illuminating the Heavens Seal, suspended in mid-air, seemed to receive a command, their spiritual light suddenly surging. Carrying an overwhelming aura capable of suppressing heaven and earth, they crashed down on the center of the insect nest like two stars, instantly unleashing a deafening roar. Golden and jade-colored spiritual light intertwined and spread, and countless giant insects were reduced to ashes under the crushing and burning power of the spiritual treasures.

This time, the battle had just begun when the Terrans gained an overwhelming advantage, inflicting heavy casualties on the Zerg.

The ninth-tier mid-grade insect king, which was attacked by the combined fire of the twelve Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, the Ruyi Void Mirror, and the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp, was first imprisoned in the void by the Ruyi Void Mirror. Then, its soul was severely injured by the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp. Finally, under the fierce bombardment of the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd and the twelve Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, it quickly perished, and even its primordial spirit could not escape.

At the same time, the other four low-grade ninth-order insect kings were also severely injured under the siege of the six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, and then they all fled into the distance.

Liu Changxu naturally couldn't let them escape, so he immediately ordered the innate spiritual treasures to give chase.

In the end, all four ninth-rank low-grade insect kings were killed by Liu Changxu, except for one that managed to escape by leaving its body.

Thus, the human race completely won the battle.

Upon seeing this, Liu Fuyin, aboard the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, immediately released the 30 million human army from the ship's internal space.

After the army of thirty million human cultivators appeared, they launched a siege against the scattered and fleeing insectoids.

The battle lasted for a full day and night before it finally came to an end.

After killing the five ninth-tier insect queens, Liu Changxu transformed into a streak of light and headed deep into the insect nest, followed by Jin Haonan, Su Yuxue, and Liu Fuhai.

The insect nest was like a huge abyss, pitch black and bottomless. Liu Changxu and his group of four flew down the rock wall, passing through layers of pervasive black mist, and flew for tens of thousands of miles before finally reaching the deepest part of the insect nest.

There was no nest core or strange structure as he had imagined; only a vast, silent space. Scattered across the ground were numerous high-grade spirit gold ores, but apart from that, there were no other spiritual objects that could move Liu Changxu.

Su Yuxue looked around, her brows furrowed slightly, and asked in confusion:

"Your Majesty, what do you think the Zerg are trying to do by going to such lengths to dig such deep caves?"

Liu Changxu's gaze swept over the fresh excavation marks on the rock wall, and he pondered:
"I've been pondering these questions as well. Judging from the direction and depth of this excavation, if we let it continue, it will eventually reach the magma layer underground."

His tone was somewhat solemn: "At that time, this place may be triggered by a volcanic eruption, turning into a supervolcano."

Jin Haonan stepped forward, reached out and touched the cold rock wall, and said in a deep voice:
"These insects always act on instinct, and such large-scale digging is probably to search for some kind of spiritual object that they need."

Liu Fuhai then released his divine sense, carefully probing every corner of the space, and added:
"There's no valuable ninth-grade spirit gold here either."

The four exchanged a glance, their expressions hardening. The seemingly empty bottom of the abyss was probably far more complex than it appeared.

"Let's leave this place for now and get out of here as soon as possible. I believe we'll find the answer eventually!"

Liu Changxu thought for a moment and said:

"All right!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Not long after, the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, carrying Liu Changxu and others, along with a human army of thirty million, left the area.

Ten days later, the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship pierced the sky and arrived at another Zerg gathering place.

This is also a range of rolling hills, and although it is also teeming with dense swarms of insects, its area and scale have been significantly reduced by more than half compared to the previous gathering place.

Correspondingly, the strength of the insectoids entrenched here has also weakened considerably. A sweep of divine sense could only detect the auras of two ninth-tier insect kings, far inferior to the previous insectoid gathering place.

Jin Haonan gazed at the distant swarm of insects, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and spoke first:

“Your Majesty, the insectoid forces here are relatively weak. Let us deal with these two ninth-tier insect emperors.”

Su Yuxue nodded in agreement, saying, "Your Majesty, let us deal with those two ninth-tier insect emperors this time!"

Holding the Nine-Turn Golden Jade Pagoda in his left hand, Liu Fuhai also solemnly volunteered for battle, saying, "I beg Your Majesty to grant my request! Your son will certainly not fail you!"

Liu Fuyin nodded slightly, a faint chill emanating from his body, clearly ready to make a move at any moment.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Liu Changxu saw that the four men were full of fighting spirit, so he nodded in agreement:

"Alright, be careful and don't be careless."

"Yes!"

The four responded in unison, and then their figures moved, transforming into four streams of light as they sped out of the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship and rushed straight towards the two ninth-tier insect emperors in the mountains.

Not long after they launched their attack, the two ninth-tier insect kings entrenched here also discovered Liu Changxu and his group's whereabouts. They immediately flew out from their hiding place and launched a fierce attack on Jin Haonan and his group of four.

Jin Haonan and his three companions also unleashed their natal spiritual treasures to attack the two ninth-tier insect emperors. An extremely fierce battle ensued.

Although Liu Changxu did not attack the two low-grade ninth-rank insect emperors, he did use his spatial storm technique to launch a fierce attack on the ordinary insect race entrenched here. Countless insects were reduced to fragments under the spatial storm.
