Song Wen and Ying Wu naturally refused to let the matter rest. They continued controlling their flying swords, plunging into the swarm.
However, ninth-rank Void Beetles within the swarm struck out and sent both swords flying back.
Song Wen, Ying Wu, and the Kui Bull slowly came to a halt, gazing across the distance at the insect swarm in the sky.
The swarm was initially still somewhat restless. Quite a few Void Beetles continued charging toward the two people and the bull, eager to kill them. Yet they soon quieted down and gathered around the insect mother.
"Humph! They are nothing but a pack of beasts! Do they think their sheer numbers let them contend against us?" Ying Wu snorted coldly.
The Kui Bull seemed to understand her master Ying Wu's intent. Azure-green lightning surged all around its body.
In an instant, thunder serpents as thick as arms condensed above the nine heavens and crashed down with overwhelming force.
Heaven and earth were immediately shrouded beneath endless lightning.
Lightning Domain!
Before the boundless thunder, the insect swarm that blanketed the skies seemed especially tiny and precarious.
Yet the countless insects, regardless of strength, did not erupt into the slightest chaos.
All the insects' auras surged forth and mixed together—mottled and violent, yet strangely merging into one.
The next moment, an incomparably enormous insect phantom condensed.
The phantom stretched across tens of thousands of miles, its body filling the entire sky as though it could swallow heaven and earth whole with a single open mouth.
All the insects were enveloped within the phantom.
The endless lightning struck down fiercely upon it.
Electric light raged and thunder roared without cease, yet it merely sent ripples spreading across the phantom's massive body. It could not harm the countless insects within in the slightest.
