Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

The terrifying power was transmitted through the scepter, and the Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects was struck as if by an ancient divine mountain, her beautiful face instantly twisted and deformed.

Blood gushed from his mouth and nose like a fountain, and he was sent flying backward like a spinning top being whipped at full force, beginning to spin.

His colorful robes were torn to shreds, and his aura rapidly weakened, clearly indicating that he had suffered extremely severe injuries, even damaging his very essence.

She barely managed to steady herself in the starry sky, staring in utter horror at the man in the distance who, though pale-faced, still stood like a demon god.

My heart was completely overwhelmed by boundless fear.

This man is a monster!

After a series of battles, especially after unleashing that earth-shattering strike, it was still able to unleash such terrifying counterattack power.

How could his all-out attack be so easily crushed?

Seizing the essence blood is already wishful thinking; if we stay any longer, the next punch will probably finish us off here.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects showed no further hesitation or greed, enduring the pain of her body that was on the verge of falling apart.

With a scream, its body exploded, transforming into millions of tiny, almost imperceptible flying insects that vanished into the void like a dream bubble.

He used the Zerg's innate supreme survival technique to vanish without a trace in an instant.

All that remained was a desolate battlefield and that eerie fragrance.

Jiang Hao did not give chase. The insect queen was highly skilled at escaping and difficult to catch, and now was not the time.

Leaning on the Chaos Heavenly Blade, his tall figure swayed slightly in the void as he slowly calmed the churning blood and qi within his body.

Silence.

It was longer than any before.

After an unknown period of time, various gasps of shock, rendered speechless by extreme astonishment, spread like a plague throughout the myriad realms.

"Hao...Hao Tianzun...has fallen,...was transformed into immortality with a single strike!"

"The Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects... fled severely wounded, her scepter almost shattered!"

"This...this Jiang Hao...is he still someone who hasn't aligned with the will of Heaven? Severely injured and on the verge of death...and he's already killed two Supreme Beings?"

"The Chaotic Body... Is this the invincible power of the Chaotic Body? It's too... too monstrous!"

"How many more tricks does he have up his sleeve? Is he really unkillable?"

The jubilation in the Origin Realm reached its peak once again, but this time, the cheers were filled with an almost religious fervor and awe.

Meanwhile, deep within the great realms such as the Celestial Realm and the Insect Realm, which are hostile to the Origin Realm, there was a scene of horror and deathly silence, with towering waves surging within.

Deep within the Immortal Palace, suspended above the thirty-three layers of clouds in the Celestial Realm, there is not just one aura.

At this moment, several equally majestic and awe-inspiring figures, resonating with the laws of Heaven, suddenly appeared. They were other ancient supreme beings in the Heavenly Realm, beings of the same generation as or even older than Haotian Zun.

"Haotianzun... his Heavenly Dao Mark... has dissipated!"

An elderly man dressed in a starry sky Taoist robe roared in disbelief, his voice filled with shock, anger, and a hint of barely perceptible fear.

They could clearly sense that the portion of Heavenly Dao authority representing the existence of Haotianzun had returned to the world, signifying his complete demise.

"Jiang Hao, the Chaos Body, how dare he? How dare he slay my Heavenly Realm Supreme!"

Another supreme being, surrounded by destructive lightning, roared, his fury filling the entire celestial realm with oppressive thunderclouds.

Countless celestial cultivators trembled under this oppressive aura, their hearts filled with fear and bewilderment.

Their almost invincible ancestor, Haotian Venerable, was actually... killed with a single blow?

"That single strike... it actually dissolved the laws of Heaven! This child's understanding of the Great Dao has reached an unbelievable level!"

The third being, whose aura was the most ancient and seemed to be as old as the heavens, slowly spoke.

Although there was anger in his eyes, there was even more of a deep sense of apprehension and solemnity.

"He has already achieved such combat power even before he has aligned himself with the will of Heaven. If he were to truly attain enlightenment..."

Upon hearing this, the celestial leaders fell silent.

Despite their anger, Jiang Hao's terrifying strength forced them to remain calm.

Forced retaliation? Who would go? The example of Haotianzun is right before our eyes.

Although Jiang Hao appears to be seriously injured at this moment, who can guarantee that he doesn't have the ability to strike again?

Finally, the most ancient supreme being made the decision, his voice filled with endless coldness and suppressed killing intent:

"Order the Heavenly Realm to close the Heavenly Gate and temporarily refrain from conflict with the Origin Realm. The grudge against Haotian Venerable will be remembered for now. We will wait... wait until he reveals a weakness, or at a crucial moment in his path to enlightenment, before launching a swift and decisive attack."

They chose to endure, but the seeds of hatred had already been sown deep within them.

Deep within the insectoid realm's omnivorous mother nest, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Besides the original Thousand Devouring Insect Queen, who escaped with severe injuries and was on the verge of death, there were two other Insect Queens who also ruled over a vast Insectoid force.

The wills of the Star-Eating Insect Mother and the Illusionary Desire Insect Mother also descended upon this place.

"Wan Shi, you were too reckless!"

The Star-Eating Insect Mother's will was cold and sharp, carrying a rebuke.

"I warned you long ago that the Chaos Body is no ordinary being and should not be provoked lightly, but you insisted on going your own way. Now look what's happened: you haven't obtained the essence blood, your own origin has been damaged, your scepter is broken, and you've brought such a formidable enemy upon my insect realm!"

The voice of the Illusionary Desire Queen carried an eerie calmness, but upon closer listening, one could also detect its solemnity.

"Sister, you were indeed reckless this time. Jiang Hao is far more terrifying than we expected. He was able to destroy Haotian Venerable with a single strike and severely injure you with a single punch. His combat power is beyond that of an ordinary Supreme. If he achieves enlightenment, the first thing he will probably do is to settle scores with our Insect Realm."

The wills of the three queens were intensely communicating within the core of the nest.

"What do we do now? Are we just going to wait for him to come knocking on our door?"

The heavily injured Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects weakly and unwillingly transmitted her voice.

"What if we unite with the Celestial Realm? They've lost a Supreme Being; they'll surely hate Jiang Hao to the core!"

The Star-Eating Insect Mother made the suggestion.

"No!" the Queen of Illusions immediately objected.

"The Celestial Realm is in dire straits and may not dare to take the lead. Moreover, it is riskier to negotiate with a tiger. In my opinion, it would be better to... take the initiative to sever ties, declare to the outside world that Wan Shi's actions were his personal act and had nothing to do with our Insect Realm as a whole, and offer a generous gift to Jiang Hao... to apologize and seek peace."

This suggestion plunged the nest into a deathly silence.

The mighty Insect Realm, one of the great realms of the heavens, must bow down and apologize to a human race that has not yet formally attained enlightenment?

"Is there any other way besides this?"

The Illusory Desire Mother whispered.

"Does he really want to wait until my insectoid realm becomes his first blood sacrifice target for proving his power?"

Meanwhile, outside the mother nest, the direct descendants of the Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects, such as Prince Ai, lived in constant fear. They were worried about their mother's injuries, but even more afraid of Jiang Hao's future revenge.

"Will we...will we be handed over to appease the wrath of the Chaos Entities?"

A young Zerg princess asked, her voice trembling with tears.

"No, the nest is a unified entity; the three queen mothers will surely find a way..."

Prince Hua tried to remain calm and reassure him, but his clenched fists and worried eyes betrayed his extreme unease.

Although Jiang Hao has not yet achieved enlightenment, his formidable record of slaying supreme beings and severely injuring the Insect Queen while still not in harmony with the will of Heaven has already cast a huge shadow over all the heavens and myriad worlds.
