Slain

Before Wen Yuan could finish speaking, Chen Fan's gaze had already calmly traversed a hundred miles of Void, landing on the constantly writhing dark demonic cloud that exuded an aura of chaos and destruction.

"Waiting isn't a solution."

His voice was soft, yet it reached the ears of the senior Senior Fellow Apprentice beside him clearly.

"This will only embolden them."

As if to prove his words.

Boom!

In the Insect Race camp, a colossal, mountain-like, Spider Emperor- like monster covered in jet-black carapace suddenly took a step forward.

The earth trembled, and eight giant, scarlet compound eyes rolled, sweeping across the entire Human Race army formation with undisguised contempt and greed.

Seventh Grade Immortal Realm, Late Stage!

"Are the cowards of Human Race only capable of hiding and waiting like rats in the ground?"

Its hoarse voice, mixed with Mental Storm, resounded across the plains like a foul-smelling gust of wind.

"This world is the graveyard bestowed upon you by His Majesty the Emperor! Your flesh and blood will become the best nourishment for His Majesty's descendants to ascend to the highest realm!"

"Presumptuous!"

"Court death!"

"Kill! Kill this filthy bug!"

Within the Human Race army ranks, countless battle-hardened warriors were instantly enraged.

That dormant, iron-blooded aura suddenly erupted at this moment, soaring into the sky and almost dyeing the heavens crimson.

If it weren't for the nine Star River Level Students at the very front of the formation simultaneously releasing their auras to forcefully suppress it, this torrent of anger, formed by the combined will of ten thousand people, would have already surged forward.

Wen Yuan's face was ashen, his clenched fists cracking, but he knew that whoever made the first move would fall into the enemy's trap. He could only suppress the rage that surged to his head and desperately maintain the stability of the army formation.

At this tense moment, when swords were about to be drawn and war was imminent.

A figure emerged from behind Wen Yuan without warning.

He walked step by step through the invisible defensive line built by the nine Prodigies, without causing a fuss, and stood alone at the forefront of the army of ten thousand, facing the endless Insect Race army a hundred miles away.

It's Chen Fan.

His sudden action startled all the enraged Human Race warriors behind him.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the arrogant Spider Emperor revealed extreme contempt in all eight of its compound eyes and let out a series of piercing laughs.

"What? You've exhausted all your courage to send a fledgling, barely out of its plumage, to its death?"

"Human Race... is truly devoid of talent!"

Faced with such humiliation, Chen Fan didn't even flinch.

He merely frowned slightly; his expression didn't seem like he was facing a life-or-death enemy, but rather like he was annoyed by the excessive chirping of cicadas outside the window in the summer.

He uttered three words calmly.

"It's so noisy."

Before he could finish speaking...

He casually raised his right hand, pointed his index finger lightly at the arrogant Spider Emperor a hundred miles away.

There was no earth-shattering power, no extraordinary phenomenon manifesting the laws.

The movements were so gentle, as if he were merely brushing away a speck of dust from his sleeve.

A wisp of gray energy, so faint it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, flew out from his fingertip and silently traversed a hundred miles, instantly disappearing into the Spider King's indestructible brow carapace before the Spider Emperor could even react.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The Spider Emperor's ear-piercing laughter abruptly ceased.

Its massive body stiffened abruptly, and the light in its eight scarlet compound eyes dimmed and went out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next moment.

Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes.

That powerful Seventh Grade Late Stage Spider Emperor, whose massive, mountain-like body disintegrated like a weathered sand sculpture, turning into a handful of gray dust that filled the sky. With a gust of wind, it was completely wiped out from this world.

Both body and soul perished.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

All the Insect Race warriors were momentarily stunned by the bizarre and instantaneous killing of their leader.

Then came an overwhelming rage!

"Roar!!"

The roars of countless Insect Race converged into a destructive sonic wave, and it seemed that a bloody all-out war was about to be ignited in the most tragic way.

However, in that very instant!

Buzz!!

The golden pillar of light that had always pierced through the heavens and the earth suddenly trembled.

Then, the dazzling light began to converge and collapse inward at an astonishing speed.

Finally, in the center of the battlefield, where the Spider Emperor had turned to ashes, a deep, enormous gate of light, its edges flowing with broken runes of law, silently and with a deafening roar!

World Ruins, now open!

As the portal opened, the violent energy that was powerful enough to tear apart Seventh Grade Immortal Realm expert, after collapsing to its limit, strangely subsided.

A massive entrance, seemingly connecting to another ancient time and space, lay across the center of the plain, shattering the taut tension on the battlefield.

Kill!

Within the Human Race army formation, the fighting spirit that soared to the heavens because of Chen Fan's unpredictable finger strike was about to transform into a tangible torrent that would crush the Insect Race on the opposite side in an instant.

However, at that very moment...

From the deepest part of that writhing, dark cloud, a spiritual will far more ancient than that of the previous Spider Emperor surged forth like an invisible, deep-sea wave.

[Enter.]

[Seize.]

Under the command, the overwhelming rage in the eyes of all the Insect Race powerhouses was instantly replaced by a more primal greed.

Absolute obedience to higher-level beings and an endless desire for evolution triumphed over everything.

Hiss!

A series of chilling, greedy hisses echoed across the sky. The endless Insect Race army abandoned its confrontation with the Human Race, turned around, and transformed into a dark torrent that could blot out the light. It rushed towards the huge portal with unprecedented speed.

"Oh no! We can't let them get there first!"

At the front of the Human Race army formation, a Star River Level Student surrounded by sharp Sword Intent underwent a dramatic change in expression and made a decisive decision.

Without needing to discuss it, the nine Prodigies, who were already of one mind, instantly reached a consensus.

Wen Yuan's voice boomed like thunder through the ranks of ten thousand soldiers.

"All troops, listen up! Enter the ruins! Maintain formation, be on guard around the perimeter, and do not engage in prolonged combat!"

Military orders are absolute.

As he gave the order, Wen Yuan grabbed Chen Fan beside him, his face still showing the horror from before, but even more so, a deep-seated worry.

He gave his instructions very quickly.

"Junior Fellow Apprentice, the laws within this ruin are broken, and the space is extremely unstable. Entering could very well result in random teleportation. Be extremely careful! Remember, survival is paramount!"

Chen Fan felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at the genuine concern in his senior Senior Fellow Apprentice's eyes.

He nodded calmly, a reassuring smile on his face, his voice soft yet incredibly firm.

"Don't worry, Senior Fellow Apprentice."
