Although this Mother Emperor had so many Zerg Warriors, she was definitely no stronger than Peak King.
One had to understand that Sealed King Invincible was already almost beyond the realm of the undying.
Such beings could burn their divine power to briefly contend with Venerables.
King Zhen Yan was one such example.
In his ordinary state, his strength was probably around thirty million times that of a Peak World Lord.
By burning his divine power, he could probably reach over a hundred million times a Peak World Lord's strength!
As for Yan Ning now, even if he burned his divine power, he might only reach tens of millions of times a Peak World Lord's strength.
The gap between him and Sealed King Invincible was enormous.
"Good! Then I'll start by killing the Undying Zerg Warriors. This time, I'll complete the sign-in mission outright!"
"Boom—"
A million purple energy beams wove together into a torrent of destruction. Space collapsed inch by inch wherever it passed, forming an energy channel tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter.
The attack was so powerful that even space itself seemed to wail and tremble.
Golden light blazed in Yan Ning's eyes, and his figure blurred at the last possible instant.
"Whoosh!"
With his first teleport, he appeared three million kilometers to the left of the battlefield.
Yet the energy torrent twisted as if it were alive and continued surging toward him.
"Locked on?"
Yan Ning gave a cold snort.
He swung his War Blade!
"Break!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
He teleported seven times in rapid succession, each jump precisely limited to less than a hundred thousand kilometers.
His figure traced a jagged golden line through the starry sky, each flash timed to slip through the gaps as the energy torrent changed direction.
The instant his seventh teleport ended, Yan Ning had reached a point barely a thousand meters in front of the Undying Zerg formation.
To an undying being, that distance was practically point-blank.
"Yan God Codex—Skyburner!"
The dark-red flames coiling around his War Blade suddenly surged, transforming into a crimson blade arc that stretched across the starry sky.
This strike not only contained the ultimate destructive power of the Law of Fire, but also incorporated the cutting properties of the Law of Space.
"Shhk—"
The blade flashed, and the first thirty Immortal Zerg Generals were instantly cut in two.
Purple patterns flashed frantically across their shells as they tried to repair themselves, but the World-Burning Flame left in the blade's wake kept scorching them, making their divine bodies dissolve at a visible speed.
In the blink of an eye, they were completely annihilated!
"Roar!"
Nine Sealed King Zerg erupted at once. The purple-gold carapaces on their backs unfolded, revealing densely packed Law Secret Patterns.
Nine purple beams interwove into a net, intent on suppressing Yan Ning outright.
"Get lost!"
Yan Ning stamped his battle boots against the void, sending ripples of crimson-gold energy spreading outward.
Where the ripples passed, space shattered like a mirror, forcibly scattering the purple net.
"Strangulation!"
Riding the force of the recoil, Yan Ning shot forward like lightning and plunged straight into the densest part of the Zerg formation.
As his War Blade swept through the ranks, dark-red flames turned into countless fine threads, each one precisely piercing the core of an Undying Zerg.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft—"
Amid an unbroken series of explosive cracks, over a hundred Zerg Warriors fell in the blink of an eye.
Yan Ning's kill count raced upward on his Smart Optical Brain, but he didn't pause for even an instant.
Purple Charm King's expression finally changed.
"You've got some nerve, daring to approach my Zerg army!"
She slowly raised one hand and clenched it.
"Boom—"
Five hundred thousand Peak World Lord Zerg Warriors suddenly swelled in unison.
Then they charged straight at Yan Ning.
Yan Ning's pupils contracted sharply. He recognized the energy compressing wildly inside the Zerg Warriors.
"Self-destruct?!"
The thought had barely crossed his mind when the entire starry sky was swallowed by blinding purple light.
The energy produced by five hundred thousand Peak World Lord Zerg Warriors self-destructing at once surpassed the full-strength attack of an ordinary Peak King.
It was enough to kill a Sealed King in a single strike!
"Boom—"
The devastating energy storm swallowed Yan Ning whole.
The shock wave from the simultaneous self-destruction of five hundred thousand Peak World Lord Zerg Warriors shattered the space within a million kilometers like glass.
Amid the purple-black energy tide, Yan Ning's figure was like a tiny boat tossed about in a storm.
"Yan Divine Body! Activate!"
Yan Ning roared. Every inch of his flesh lit up with ancient crimson-gold secret patterns.
This was a special secret technique of the Yan God Clan, instantly raising the strength of his divine body to its limit.
At the same time, his King Armor blazed with dazzling golden light. Every pattern across its surface writhed like a living thing, forming layer upon layer of defensive barriers.
"Crack, crack-crack—"
With a grating series of fractures, the King Armor's defenses shattered layer by layer under the energy's impact.
"Hold together!"
"Rumble—"
When the last trace of the self-destruction's aftershock faded, three percent of Yan Ning's divine body had been annihilated.
He was covered in blood.
As soon as space had stabilized slightly, he teleported away.
If an ordinary human Sealed King had taken that blow, he would certainly have died. Fortunately, Yan Ning had the secret technique of the Yan God Clan, along with his King Armor and enormous body.
The attack had only annihilated three percent of his divine body!
But after that strike, he no longer dared to fight the Zerg army at close range.
Those self-destructs were just too vile.
The problem was—
The Zerg that had just self-destructed were already being replenished at an astonishing speed!
No. He had to kill them faster!!
Yan Ning's figure flickered through the starry sky, each teleport claiming the lives of dozens of Undying Zerg Warriors.
But when he looked back, the sight before him made him curse under his breath. "This is way too ridiculous!"
Purple Charm King's Hive Nest was like a never-ending Zerg weapons factory. Countless grotesque eggs bulged from its surface and split open at a visible speed.
As soon as the newborn Zerg Warriors emerged, energy was immediately injected into them. Their carapaces hardened within seconds, and then they roared as they joined the battle.
Even worse, the corpses of the hundred or so Immortal Zerg Generals Yan Ning had just killed were being dragged back to the Hive Nest by specialized Worker Zerg.
Countless tendrils emerged from the purple-black nest, breaking down and reassembling the corpses. In the blink of an eye, new Undying Warriors burst from their cocoons!
"This recovery speed!"
Yan Ning cut down three charging Immortal Zerg Generals with one strike, his brow furrowing.
"It's more than ten times faster than the records say!"
The Smart Optical Brain's scan showed that the energy readings inside the Hive Nest were climbing rapidly.
At this rate, Purple Charm King would fully replenish her lost troops in less than ten minutes!
"I can't let her keep replenishing them!"
A cold glint flashed in Yan Ning's eyes as he suddenly accelerated.
His War Blade turned into a crimson bolt of lightning, tearing a path through the Zerg army.
Every swing of his blade turned dozens of Immortal Zerg Generals to ash.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft—"
The Zerg Warriors' severed limbs flew through the starry sky, but their numbers showed no sign of decreasing.
Yan Ning glanced at his panel. His kill count had already passed three thousand.
That meant he still needed to kill more than six thousand Undying.
He looked at the Zerg army again.
The number of Undying was still hovering around ten thousand.
"Hmph, in that case, I'll bring out something brutal!!"
Boom!!
"Divine body... burn!!!"
Yan Ning roared furiously!!
Boom! His five-thousand-meter-tall divine body burst into flames.
Yan Ning's strength surged instantly!!
"Boom—"
