Chapter 167: Chapter 83: Insect Valley Riot (Fourth Update)
In the struggle between life and death, the sh quickly escted to a fever pitch.
Some cultivators were sted to dregs by magic artifacts, others were trampled into mud by gigantic insects; both sides had blood in their eyes.
But ultimately, the numerical disadvantage was too great, and Ghost Ridge Pce began to fall behind. The experts from the righteous sects here were several times that of the Ghost Ridge Pce elders, leaving no equality in strength between the two sides.
If it wasn’t for the weakening of the righteous cultivators’bat effectiveness by Tang Peiqing’s poison, the battle would’ve already been lost.
“You hypocrites of the righteous path, how dare you bully Ghost Ridge Pce.”<div>
<div>
It was at this moment that a thunderous roar of fury erupted from afar.
At the mountain gate of Ghost Ridge Pce, billowing smoke and boiling blood surged up, filling half of the sky.
A man in a ck robe walked out from his retreat, looking towards the scene at Eagle Peak Mountain; this was none other than Zhang Junwei, the Sect Master of Ghost Ridge Pce.
Boom!
Zhang Junwei soared into the sky and arrived at the scene.
His overwhelming spiritual power erupted, like the heavens copsing and the earth splitting, its divine radiance illuminating everything under the heavens.
The boundless spiritual power seemed to boil this piece ofnd, and the faces of many righteous cultivators turned extremely grave.
As the Sect Master of Ghost Ridge Pce, Zhang Junwei’s strength was, without a doubt, formidable, his Cultivation in the Taoist tform Realm overpowering the whole field.
Zhuang Liangru’s Divine Eye sparkled as he rushed like a rainbow towards Zhang Junwei and sneered, “You’ve been holding back just for this moment, hiding in the shadows waiting for a chance to strike. Now you finally can’t bear it any longer, let me measure just how much weight you, the Sect Master, carry.”<div>
<div>
“Seeking death!”
Zhang Junwei looked over coldly, and suddenly his body burst apart, transforming into countless tiny insects. In an instant, Zhuang Liangru was engulfed by the swarm and vanished from sight.
However, at the core of the swarm, infinite divine radiance burst forth, as if a great sun was rising, igniting one insect after another.
Zhuang Liangru was shing hard against the swarm, contending with Zhang Junwei.
The swarm formed Zhang Junwei’s face, and he proactively dragged Zhuang Liangru above the clouds. Then each insect pped its wings, emitting a tremendous demonic sound.
“Old Tang, take the Ten Thousand Insects Order, call upon Insect Valley. Let them witness the consequence of intruding on our Ghost Ridge Pce, as if we are to be trifled with.”
As Zhang Junwei’s voice transmitted, a Mo Jade Token flew out,nding in the hands of Tang Peiqing.
Tang Peiqing’s eyes were chilling, like a fierce ghost from theherworld iming lives.
By now, several Ghost Ridge Pce elders had fallen. Even a y figure has a temper, let alone a Demon Cultivation Sect like Ghost Ridge Pce.
“All of you righteous scum, none of you are leaving.”
Tang Peiqing cut open his palm, and his blood rolled down onto the token.
A pair of cold insect eyes emerged on the token, blinking like a living creature, it seemed to establish a connection with a certain region, and a special maic field began to transmit.
In the distant Insect Valley, swarms of insects as if sensing something, emitted a frantic, piercing shriek.
Netherworld Fire Ghost Snake, Dragon Evil Sky Sunflower Worm, Thunder Light Giant Bee, Blood Poison Frog, de-legged Demon Spider, Armored Demon Ant…
Countless insects became restless, among them were inferior poisonous insects, as well as low-grade and mid-grade poisonous insects, and even top-grade poisonous insects that were hundreds of meters long.
A few seconds after the disturbance, all the insects, regardless of size or strength, rolled towards Eagle Peak Mountain.
Strong experts from various righteous sects looked over, their faces instantly covered with cold sweat.
Su Jie, who was escaping, heard strange noises, a continuous rustling sound.
He looked and saw an endless sea of insects rolling like tidal waves towards Eagle Peak Mountain, leaving in their wake barrennd where not a de of grass remained.@@novelbin@@
The sky turned to gray-white, like a boundless fog, or like clouds continuously falling. The most numerous in Insect Valley, the human-faced moth swarm, veiled the sky, billions of insects threatening to engulf all living beings.
“Are you kidding me? That’s way… too… too many.”
Ning Xinyue clung tightly to Su Jie’s arm, her body covered in goosebumps, nearly frightened to death by this terrifying spectacle.
“So this is the strongest trump card of Ghost Ridge Pce!”
Even Su Jie gasped sharply, watching this stunning scene unfold before his eyes, his heart pounding fiercely.
When discussing the most dangerous ces within the boundaries of Ghost Ridge Pce, no one ever mentioned Insect Valley.
Because Insect Valley was a ce of opportunity for many disciples, where they captured poisonous insects to be stronger and improve. For Ghost Ridge Pce, it was a blessednd.
But in fact, if one were to argue about the most dangerous ce in terms of strength, within the domain of Ghost Ridge Pce, Insect Valley was the true strongest.
And now, as billions of poisonous insects were mobilized, it was the true outburst of Insect Valley.
“Ghost Ridge Pce, do you really seek your own death?”
From above the clouds came Zhuang Liangru’s voice, filled with anger and embarrassment, for he had not anticipated that Ghost Ridge Pce harbored such a trump card.
“It is you who have gone too far.”
Zhang Junwei’s voice was cold, for a Demon Cultivator was not someone to be trifled with.
Among Insect Valley, those flying top-grade poisonous insects were the fastest and immediately rushed towards Eagle Peak Mountain at extreme speed.
A fist-sized, golden flying mosquito darted like lightning, piercing through several Protection Magical Artifacts and talismans, and its relentless force punctured the heart of a Righteous Cultivator.
This was a top-grade poisonous insect refined six times, making its debut by instantly killing a Righteous Cultivator.
Roar!
A centipede over a hundred meters long flew across the sky, its massive mouth wide open, turning into the eye of a storm, and several Righteous Cultivators were directly sucked into its belly.
More poisonous insects appeared at the scene, and suddenly an Elder of Ghost Ridge Pce let out a horrifying scream.
His body melted like wax, as he was sprayed with poison by a gigantic flying insect, his flesh gruesomely dissolved, and then the liquid was sipped up by the flying insect.
“Everyone, operate the Hundred Poison Refining Gu Scripture and the Body Worm Focusing Method at full strength, and those Elders who haven’t cultivated this Scripture should quickly stay away.”
Tang Peiqing’s lips twitched; after all, the poisonous insects from Insect Valley were wild, and they were lured here only by a special maic field and pheromones, not being able to distinguish friend from foe.
However, there was this advantage in cultivating the Hundred Poison Refining Gu Scripture; it could deceive many poisonous insects into thinking you were one of their own, thereby reducing the risk of attack.
More and more poisonous insects appeared at Eagle Peak Mountain, and finally, the sky-darkening human-faced moth swarm arrived, causing even the Elders of Ghost Ridge Pce to turn pale, as theserge moths were not very smart and attacked humans on sight.
As expected, swathes of human-faced moths began their assault, tearing and biting every living creature on the field, including poisonous insects and Cultivators,
Mainly the Righteous Cultivators suffered greatly, their bodies rich in Spiritual Energy particrly sweet in the eyes of the human-faced moths, which frantically chased them and enveloped each Cultivator into balls of moths hundreds of meters thick.
Even though human-faced moths were just of inferior grade, the sheer number was simply overwhelming, and despite how the Cultivators fought and killed, they were but a drop in the oceanpared to the human-faced moth swarm.
On normal days, human-faced moths were reluctant to leave their territory, but once they were on the move, even the Secret Realm and top-grade poisonous insects dared not sh with them directly, as no one could endure a war of attrition against billions of human-faced moths.
Taoist Qiu, expressionless, plucked off a human-faced moth gnawing at his eyelid and, facing the dense moth-covered battlefield, couldn’t help but turn to Tang Peiqing, “What are you doing summoning these moths?”
“This is not something I can control.”
Tang Peiqing, looking at the moths rushing towards him, unable to poison them quickly enough, quickly turned and flew away in escape.
Just as the battlefield descended into chaos with the arrival of the human-faced moths, the Exotic Treasure Lotus suddenly vibrated violently, its divine light retracted, the Sky-reaching Light Pir disappeared, and a strange fragrance wafted in all directions.
In an instant, countless eyes turned towards it, for the Exotic Treasure Lotus had finally ripened.
“It’s mine.”
Zhuang Liangru’s figure darted, appearing before the Exotic Treasure Lotus, and reached out to grasp the Lotus.
“This treasure belongs to my Ghost Ridge Pce.”
Suddenly, an insect exploded, transforming into Zhang Junwei’s form, who also reached for the Exotic Treasure Lotus.
The two Taoist tform Realm powerhouses locked in a contest, each channeling their Spiritual Power, trying to push the other back.
Crack!
The Exotic Treasure Lotus emitted a crisp sound, and Zhuang Liangru and Zhang Junwei both looked down.
The Lotus trembled and shook, the bud split open, and one by one, the lotus seeds turned into a myriad of divine lights scattering in all directions.
The Exotic Treasure, sentient, sought its own path of escape.
…
Meanwhile, Su Jie, hurrying on his way, saw a meteor shower fall from the sky, with one meteor striking precisely in the forest up ahead.
Immediately after, a boundless surge of Spiritual Energy’s vitality spread, reviving all life within thousands of kilometers nearby.
In that moment, Su Jie, Ning Xinyue, Chu Zai Ming, and other Disciples all looked at each other in astonishment, then, as if by silent agreement, they dashed towards it.
