The gap in strength between Earth Immortals could be vast, yet it could also be small.
When there was no absolute suppressive force, battles in the Earth Immortal Realm generally would not be decided in a short time.
After all, both sides were capable of commanding the vital energy of an entire stretch of heaven and earth.
What they competed in was merely their comprehension of the principles of heaven and earth.
But when one side's methods clearly countered the other's, the conflict became exceedingly perilous.
Either one seized their advantage to instantly kill the other, or they made a mistake and were killed instead.
Yet who among those who had attained Earth Immortal status had not endured countless battles and possessed a few life-saving methods?
Thus, at this stage, killing one's opponent was not so easy.
The seven captains of the Divine Court Thirteen Squads were two minor realms below the Lord of Insects.
But with the seven of them joining forces and coordinating with one another, coupled with the Lord of Insects' abilities not greatly countering them, for a time, not only could the Lord of Insects do nothing to them, he was also held back by them.
The strange insects he had cultivated could not approach the battlefield where both sides were fighting at all.
They could not help him share the pressure of the group's combined assault.
Yet half his strength rested upon his immense swarm of insects, so naturally he could not allow himself to be so easily cut off from them.
As the insect swarm scattered around him began to emit a gray radiance, a gray domain one hundred meters across flashed over his body.
The Lord of Insects' strength instantly doubled, and every strike of his carried an aura of destruction.
