Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1494 Counterattack (Part 3)

After a fierce and earth-shattering battle, the two low-grade ninth-rank insect kings were covered in wounds, and dark green insect blood gushed out like a fountain. Finally, unable to withstand the fierce attack of Jin Haonan and his group, they turned around and tried to flee into the distance.

"Where to go!"

Liu Changxu stood high in the sky, his gaze suddenly sharpening. Seeing the Insect King trying to escape, he immediately drew his fingers through the air. In an instant, two profound halos containing the laws of time and space suddenly appeared, transforming into two cages shimmering with interwoven light and shadow. Like two shackles, they precisely enveloped the two Insect Kings, trapping them within. This was his divine power, the "Time-Space Cage," which he had deduced with his supreme cultivation.

This Space-Time Cage technique is a supreme divine power he created by fusing the laws of time and space. Within the cage, the flow of time is disrupted, and space is compressed into a quagmire where it is impossible to move an inch. Its terrifying power far surpasses ordinary imprisonment techniques. Unless an opponent's understanding of the laws of time and space surpasses Liu Changxu's, they will have no chance of escape.

As expected, after the two insect kings were trapped, although they tried their best to break through the seemingly thin light barrier, they only made the cage's halo burn even more intensely. The disorder of the laws of time made their movements sluggish, and the compression of the laws of space made them suffer excruciating pain with every struggle. No matter how frantic they were, they were trapped in an invisible net and could not move an inch.

Seeing this, Jin Haonan and his group of four intensified their attacks. Before long, the two ninth-tier insect kings trapped in the spacetime prison died under the combined attack of the group. Even their primordial spirits were completely annihilated by the power of the laws within the spacetime prison, leaving them utterly destroyed.

When Liu Changxu stopped casting the spell, the spacetime cage vanished, leaving only two mangled insect corpses that fell to the ground, creating a huge chasm.

After the two ninth-tier insect emperors fell, the remaining insect army lost all will to fight and fled into the distance.

Liu Changxu immediately released the 30 million human troops from the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship to pursue and annihilate the fleeing Zerg army.

On the morning of the third day, Liu Changxu once again summoned the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, then took in the entire human army that had completed the task of encircling and annihilating the Zerg in this area, and left to head to the next Zerg gathering place.

……

Over the next six months, Liu Changxu led the human army in their homeland, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, and successively destroyed thirteen insectoid settlements, killing forty-three ninth-tier insect emperors and countless insectoids below the ninth tier, greatly weakening the insectoid race's strength.

During the attack on the Zerg settlement, Liu Changxu's Terran coalition also reaped extremely rich spoils.

The bodies of those dead insectoids were extremely rare materials for refining weapons and were also the most abundant spiritual items, making up the majority of the spoils of war. This alone made the human army that participated in the war extremely wealthy.

High-grade spirit metal materials also make up a significant portion of the spoils. Although they are far less numerous than the materials from the insectoid race, the overall quantity is still considerable, with over 1,100 pieces of ninth-grade spirit materials alone.

As the supreme ruler of the human race, Liu Changxu received five hundred pieces of ninth-grade spirit gold materials, while the remaining six hundred pieces were divided equally among Jin Haonan, Su Yuxue, Liu Fuhai, and Liu Fuyin.

Unlike the jubilant generals of the Terran army, the Terran army's series of attacks also greatly shocked the Zerg leadership.

Although the lower-level insectoids are not yet intelligent and act solely on instinct, the ninth-level insectoid emperors already possess thinking and wisdom comparable to adults.

After news of the destruction of thirteen settlements and the fall of forty-three of their kind arrived, these ninth-tier insect emperors quickly realized the drawbacks of being scattered and began to secretly contact each other, gradually gathering the insect swarms that were originally scattered in various places.

As a result, the Zerg, which were originally scattered in various places, began to converge, causing considerable trouble for Liu Changxu and his team's surprise attack.

Faced with this new development, Liu Changxu and his team did not give up and continued their raids on the Zerg settlements. That morning, the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship carried Liu Changxu and his crew to the vicinity of a relatively large Zerg settlement.

To ensure a safe attack, before launching the attack, Liu Changxu specifically sent out his avatar to infiltrate the insectoid settlement and conduct a thorough reconnaissance.

It was discovered that there were as many as fifteen ninth-tier insect emperors entrenched in this place, including one ninth-tier superior insect emperor. Its strength far exceeded that of any previous insectoid gathering place. The scale of its insect swarm was also enormous, and its strength was quite formidable. It was a tough opponent that would not be easy to deal with.

After the avatar relayed the message back to the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, everyone gathered on the deck and engaged in a heated debate about "whether to continue the attack," based on the insect hive distribution map sent by the avatar.

Jin Haonan frowned and spoke first:

"The combined power of fifteen ninth-tier insect kings is far greater than that of the previous few. Although we have a chance of winning, if we force our way through, we will likely pay a heavy price, which would be a loss. In my opinion, it would be better to temporarily avoid their sharp edge and find a weaker target to attack first."

Su Yuxue nodded in agreement:
“Brother Jin is right. The Zerg have already started to band together, so we don’t need to rush. Even if we win in the end, the losses will be significant, so it’s best to be cautious.”

Liu Fuhai stepped forward and said:
"It is precisely because the Zerg have retreated and are defending that we should take action to eliminate them! Otherwise, if we allow them to continue to gather, they will only become more difficult to deal with in the future."

Liu Fuyin also chimed in:
“Father, my brother is right. If we don’t fight this time, the number of Zerg here will only grow larger and larger, and then it will be even more difficult to deal with!”

Both sides stuck to their own versions of events and refused to back down!

After careful consideration, Liu Changxu decided to take his children's advice and said firmly:

"Although the Zerg here are quite strong, we still have a good chance of winning. However, if we allow them to grow stronger, it will be much more difficult to deal with them later. Therefore, I have decided to launch an attack on this place immediately."

"I'll obey!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately accepted the order:
"Yin'er, this time you will remain on the patrol ship to take command. Brother Jin, Sister Su, Hai'er, you will all accompany me on the attack!"

Liu Changxu gave the order:

As he spoke, Liu Changxu immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and appeared outside the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship. Then, he summoned all the innate spiritual treasures, including the thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, the Ruyi Void Mirror, the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp, the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda, the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron, and the Crimson Lotus World-Destroying Seal.

After these dozens of innate spiritual treasures appeared, their size expanded rapidly, quickly transforming into colossal creatures that blotted out the sky. The light they emitted illuminated the entire void, and then they shot off towards the distant insectoid settlement.

Jin Haonan, Su Yuxue, and Liu Fuhai then unleashed their respective magical treasures and launched a fierce attack on the insectoid race.
