The Birth of Hundreds of Thousands of Flesh Crystals

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Shisui walked through the corridor of the city lord's mansion, his footsteps echoing clearly in the eerily strange mansion.

Thick fog quickly spread out wherever he went.

Behind him, crimson crystals kept appearing, which were then absorbed into the Alternate Space by Radiant Feathers.

Three minutes later, Shisui arrived at the square outside the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion in Chen City is located in the center of the settlement, on higher ground.

On ordinary days, you can see the Wunu River flowing in the distance and the fiery Cedar Forest on the banks.

However, Shisui can no longer see the above scene at this moment.

Because the Wunu River, and even half of Chen City, has been covered by a dark swarm of insects.

Even in the sky, a large number of flying insects appeared, like cumulonimbus clouds about to bring a downpour.

Faced with this terrifying scene, the people of Chen City were completely gripped by fear.

Driven by the will to survive, they began to flee recklessly toward the center of the settlement.

As the crowd grew larger, the pushing and shoving inevitably led to a stampede.

Many Human Race did not die at the feet of the Insect Race, but rather at the feet of their own kind.

Blood and flesh smeared the cobblestone streets, filling the city with the strong smell of rust.

Shisui looked down at Chen City, his eyes showing neither murderous intent nor sympathy.

His gray-black pupils, not yet transformed into Kakugan, were as calm as a deep pool.

To be honest, there are indeed a lot of prey here.

If it were me back in my lower Heaven Realm, I might have felt excited.

But for him, who had reached the Heaven-Controlling Realm, the situation was completely different.

Even if the number of prey here doubled, the energy extracted would still not be as great as that from Suo Qiaoyun, whom he killed not long ago.

However, this is normal; Shisui had anticipated it.

After all, the insect swarm was produced by the Insect Mother, and most of them were individuals from the Profound Realm.

Its energy level is naturally incomparable to that of the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

Therefore, Shisui did not have high expectations for them.

Coming here to deal with them is merely preparation for hunting the Insect Mother.

Shisui casually raised his hand, and translucent Feather Powder spread and diffused in the increasingly dark surrounding environment.

They moved very quickly, and in a few moments they had silently circled behind the swarm of insects.

The Spatial Energy fluctuations completely blocked the insects' escape route.

At this moment, the first group of evacuated Human Race also arrived near the city lord's mansion.

Shisui stood alone in the square, making him particularly conspicuous.

Everyone saw him, but no one had time to pay attention to the irrelevant guy.

Under the Shisui gaze of the runner, the person at the front stepped onto the ground of the square.

The next moment, a muffled "thud" was heard.

The man seemed to have been detonated by something.

He suddenly exploded, and then his flesh and blood quickly gathered back together before they could completely splatter out.

A bright red crystal, no bigger than a fingernail, instantly condensed.

The muffled thud was swallowed up by the chaotic crowd.

Behind them, the people who were still running forward had no time to react.

More people stepped into the square.

Immediately afterwards, swathes of Human Race exploded with a series of crackling sounds.

They then turned into tiny Flesh Crystals, or even smaller red dust.

The red color on the square increased, converging into a blood-red stream that flowed around the edge of the square.

This time, the sound wasn't completely drowned out.

Finally, someone seemed to wake from a dream and shouted in terror.

"Back up! Everyone who entered the square is dead! Everyone, back up!"

The first person to shout this did not escape unscathed.

He realized what was happening and wanted to stop.

However, there were simply too many people behind him, and the crowd kept pushing forward, making it impossible for him to move them alone.

Then, he and the others behind him exploded one after another, turning into Flesh Crystals.

However, after this warning, more and more people noticed the unusual situation in the square.

The shouts rose and fell like surging waves, echoing in the air.

The sounds were initially chaotic and disordered.

The shouts and cries mingled together, like a swarm of disturbed bees buzzing.

However, under the threat of death, a certain consensus gradually emerged amidst the clamor.

"Back off!"

"Back off!"

The shout was initially faint, but as time went on, it grew louder and eventually assimilated all the other sounds.

After the deaths of thousands, the crowd that had been surging into the square finally came to a halt.

In the center of the square, Shisui had already sat down at some point.

His body was suspended in mid-air, one leg propped up, the other dangling casually.

It appears to be completely unaffected by gravity.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that he did not alter the gravity of the surrounding environment.

It was as if he was sitting on some kind of transparent barrier.

Shisui rested his chin on his right hand, his eyes casually watching the farce unfolding at the edge of the square.

The panic of the crowd below was more like a bland condiment to him in this tedious hunting operation.

Although it's not particularly visually appealing, it's better than nothing.

Just as he was about to unleash the Radiant Feathers hidden in the Alternate Space to completely engulf this Human Race.

A loud shout suddenly came from below.

"Since you possess such the ability to kill without leaving a trace, why not use it to save lives!"

"We are willing to support you as the new city lord, and we hope that you will help us overcome this disaster..."

"Pfft."

Before he could finish speaking, the shouting Human Race was instantly shredded into mincemeat.

Shisui didn't even extract him into Flesh Crystals.

I wonder if eating this kind of mentally disturbed, almost intelligent, life form would cause stomach upset.

Anyway, we're not short of food right now, so let's not take the risk.

For the first time Shisui showed a look of disgust towards food.

After being disturbed like this, he lost interest in watching any further.

With a single thought, the space within a hundred miles, including Chen City, trembled violently.

Shisui's figure merged into the Alternate Space and disappeared before the eyes of the Human Race.

Then, the area within a hundred miles transformed into a giant wall-breaking machine.

In an instant, all the living and the dead inside were treated equally and turned into dust.

Shisui reappeared, and before him lay a flat desert stretching for hundreds of miles.

And, hundreds of thousands of Flesh Crystals of varying sizes float on the desert.

Deep underground in the darkness, the Insect Mother seemed to sense something.

Her massive, fat body shifted slightly as she looked toward the central region of the Moonfall Continent.

That is where Chen City is located.

"Were they all wiped out?"

The Insect Mother murmured softly, her tone heavy with a hint of heartache.

Nearly 300,000 Insect Race is no small number.

Even though these offspring are only awakened beings from the Profound Realm, giving birth to them still consumed a significant amount of her energy.

She finds it difficult to simply laugh it off.

The Insect Mother sighed deeply.

Her original plan was to collect more flesh and blood while the Ghoul was still digesting the dead Suo Qiaoyun in order to breed a more powerful offspring.

She herself doesn't have much fighting ability.

But now there is no longer the constraint of the Planetary Will.

She could easily spend more time nurturing several individuals capable of fighting against those in the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

Then, using their numerical advantage, they attempted to turn the tide and defeat their opponent.

Although the hope is slim, what if it happens?

The reason why the insects that make up the swarm are only at the Profound Realm is to cast a wide net and conserve energy as much as possible.

However, the Insect Mother clearly misjudged the efficiency of Shisui's energy absorption and conversion.

Based on her own energy absorption rate, it would indeed take her two or three days to digest the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

But Shisui doesn't need that.

Therefore, the Insect Mother's plan failed.

Now, she needs to figure out how to stall for time and quickly recall the rest of the insects that have been deployed.
