This was the work of the Immortal Realm's Consciousness Demon Forces. After these Immortals' Consciousness Demon Clone joined the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable's domain and developed their Consciousness Demon Domain based on the entire Immortal Realm, their strength increased rapidly. Especially after the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable and others devoured the Six Desires Consciousness Demons, these Immortals' Consciousness Demon Clone also shared in many benefits. Now, their avatars' strength is no less than that of their original bodies.

These Consciousness Demon Clone are not Materialization; they maintain the form of Consciousness and move within the dimension of Consciousness. Neither the naturally "mentally challenged" insects nor the Eden Forces, which lacks understanding and technology regarding Consciousness Demon, can perceive their existence.

However, the sudden frenzy of the Fortress Bug on the front lines proves that these allies have already taken action.

These Consciousness Demons can easily invade the insects' Sea of Consciousness from their Consciousness state, directly attacking their souls and annihilating their already weak Consciousness. After that, the Consciousness Demon can also Body Seizure possession of the insects' bodies and manipulate them to fight against them.

Seeing the Fortress Bug in disarray, the Eden Forces on the defensive line were greatly encouraged, and their offensive intensified, successfully halting the Fortress Bug's advance.

The Fortress Bug that were preparing to charge were caught off guard by this move. Some were killed by their own kind who suddenly broke free of control, while others suffered a fatal blow to their souls during the charge and died suddenly on the way.

Meanwhile, the Consciousness Demons of the Immortal Realm, manipulating these Fortress Bug, seemed to have spotted what they were concealing. Some of them immediately manipulated the Fortress Bug's bodies, causing them to roll backward.

From the direction of the Eden Forces, it was unclear what they had crushed, but thanks to the actions of the Immortal Realm's Demon -Consciousness Demon Forces, a series of massive explosions occurred within the insect ranks.

Next, with the help of the Killing Array manipulated by the Eden Forces, the Immortal Realm's Consciousness Demon Forces successfully wiped out this wave of Insect Tide. Although the Insect Race had evolved Fortress Bug capable of breaking through the firepower of the Eden Forces, the Consciousness Demon, these deadly Ghost that came and went without a trace, still posed an unimaginable obstacle to them.

After this wave passed, the Insect Race side went through some kind of coordination, and the next wave arrived with the same configuration.

Countless Fortress Bug, at the forefront, their hind legs gleaming with Runes, tread through the Void, concealing something, cautiously approaching Eden's defenses.

The same configuration was clearly ineffective against the demon -Consciousness Demon Forces of the Immortal Realm. Even though the insects were equipped with a group of "Decapitation Bugs" whose forelimbs had mutated into Runes- inscribed cleavers, specifically designed to clear out the Fortress Bug that had been taken over by the Consciousness Demon Forces, it was useless. This was because after killing the Fortress Bug, the Consciousness Demon would immediately invade their Sea of Consciousness Consciousness, annihilate their spirits, and then take control of their bodies.

These decapitation insects were clearly all specially evolved; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to kill the heavily armored Fortress Bug so easily. After being controlled by the Immortal Realm Consciousness Demon Forces, they caused even greater destruction, which led to this wave of Insect Tide being wiped out even faster than before. After killing this batch of insects, the Immortal Realm's Consciousness Demon Forces even tried to control them to launch a counter-offensive against the insects' rear.

However, they hadn't flown far when the insects they were controlling were torn to shreds by countless energy spikes shooting from the Void.

Fearing that the younger brothers of Eden Forces would not be able to withstand the upcoming offensive, the Immortal Realm's Consciousness Demon Forces did not harass the insect army's rear.

In fact, the original plan of Le Zhentian and the Machine God was to have Immortals and Machine Puppet help the Eden Forces stabilize the front line, and then send the Consciousness Demon Forces to the rear of the insects to harass and decapitate them.

Based on the research results of the Machine God on that Special Individual insect, although this group is a race that has reached the peak of development and evolution in biotechnology, or rather, physical body, their racial structure is fundamentally similar to that of ant colonies, bee colonies, etc.

The lowest-ranking giant insects are merely versatile Tool Bug and expendable resources to them. They are assigned all sorts of dirty, tiring, and even death-defying tasks. Due to the needs of their species, these insects have not evolved any brains and are therefore devoid of joy, sorrow, or emotion, much like robots.

The next level up are functional insects that have evolved to cope with various situations, but these insects are still ultimately Tool Bug, at most they have only upgraded from firearms to professional equipment.

The ones that truly dominated among the insects were the Special Individual that had been captured, and the insect that had been cut from the Amber Specimen that the Machine God had previously used for research.

That special individual plays the role of commander within the Insect Swarm. As long as it exists, the swarm will always be a mighty force. Even if all the lower-level swarms die out, as long as this Special Individual is still alive, it is as if the swarm it commands is still there.

Because after all the other individuals die, these Special Individual will mutate and begin to lay eggs, from which the first batch of adult insects capable of Procreation will quickly hatch.

If they find a Material World with life, these Special Individual can develop another Zerg army of cataclysmic Insect Race within a week.

The latter, the Golden Bug that ate Low-Level Machine Puppet and immediately evolved into the Purple Mansion and Nascent Soul energy body, is Special Individual among the Insect Race, existing as Imperial Guard. When Special Individual unfortunately perishes, one of these Guard Individual will mutate and grow into a new Special Individual within three days.

The fact that the commander is immortal and the army is eternally indestructible is the terrifying aspect of the Insect Race, but it is also their most terrifying weakness.

Because the Void is vast, every Insect Race army will definitely have a special Zerg that acts as a commander.

Even if there are higher-level insects above them, controlling everything behind the scenes, it is still these special insects that truly command the army.

Once they die, the insect army will collapse without a fight.

The Immortal Realm's Consciousness Demon Forces happens to be their nemesis, meaning that according to Le Zhentian and the Machine God's plan, the Immortal Realm and Eden actually had a very good chance of winning this battle.

However, in order to preserve the remaining dignity of the Immortal Ancestor and prevent him from losing face in another Void, the Immortal Emperor and the Machine God temporarily modified the plan, which also prevented the Consciousness Demon Forces from reaching the rear of the insects.

If they go, they will most likely be able to decapitate the special insects of this force. However, once they have decapitated the special insects, the Eden Forces' defenses will probably be completely wiped out by the insects.

Moreover, the insects that devour Cultivators will inevitably awaken spiritual abilities, making it extremely difficult for the Immortal Realm to deal with them.
