"That's Insect King."
Kelān's words are still hanging in Magic Formation, and Heavenly Eye of Yang Jian has already projected the outline of the four thousand miles onto the Magic Formation screens of the entire ship.
Not in the shape of a bug.
In other words, it no longer looks like a bug.
The four-thousand-mile-long body has stretched its original joints and scales into a structure closer to a mountain range.
The whole body lies horizontally in the Boundary Sea's Chaos, like an endless black ridge.
The surface of the ridge is covered with a layer of gray-silver scales.
The area of each scale is about the same as a medium-sized Black City.
There is light Cyan One in the gaps between the scales, and the light flows in the gaps, like the appearance of some kind of circulatory system.
Its head - if that's the head - is towards the Sea of Bitterness channel.
Two eyeballs protrude from the folds of the scales, each with a diameter of more than two hundred miles.
The pupil is longitudinally slit, with gray-white turbidity the same color as Boundary Sea Chaos rolling inside.
Zhao Gongming's Sea of Bitterness channel cannot be pushed even when it is 10,000 miles away.
It's not that the channel isn't powerful enough, it's that the space itself is distorted around it.
The volume of four thousand miles caused a gravitational collapse effect on the Boundary Sea and Origin.
The surrounding space structure of 30,000 miles was bent by its mass.
The wall of the Sea of Bitterness channel began to deform as it approached it, and the flow direction of the black substance was twisted into a spiral.
Zhao Gongming gritted his teeth and pushed forward five hundred miles at the bow of the ship. The deformation of the tube wall became more serious, and some sections were so thin that Chaos could be seen outside.
"I can't push it anymore."
Zhao Gongming's voice floated back from the bow of the ship, carrying a hoarse and stubborn tone.
Tongtian called up the energy reserve data of Formation Ship in Main Battle Core.
"Immortal-Slaying Main Formation of Formation Ship can forcibly break through the space distortion, but it requires full output."
"After output, Formation Ship's defense layer will be reduced to the lowest level."
"What is the concept of minimizing?"
"One Abyssal Beast can break through the hull of a ship with just one hit."
Nezha was holding the gun on the right wing, his eyes jumping back and forth between the four thousand miles silhouette on Magic Formation's screen and Gu Changqing on the command podium.
The voice of Kelān emerged from Magic Formation again.
"Insect King is the final form of Tide-Devouring Insect."
"There is only one record about Insect King in the route log of Thief Race. There is no detailed combat assessment, only one line of comments."
"What comment?"
"Equivalent to what you call Early Stage of the Sacrificial Dao Realm."
Zhao Gongming's fingers clenched the mouth of the box.
Sacrificial Dao Realm.
Zhao Gongming himself is Immortal Emperor Peak, Tongtian is Immortal Emperor Peak, and Yang Jian is Immortal Emperor mid-term.
Early Stage of the Sacrificial Dao Realm's stuff is a big step higher than all of them.
On the podium, Gu Changqing's fingers stopped on the armrest without moving. He lowered his head and looked at Xiaotian Dog, who was lying at his feet digesting food.
The dog is still snoring.
"Yang Jian."
"Here."
"You fight it."
Yang Jian turned around on the left wing.
Heavenly Eye's light shrank, revealing the normal eye underneath, and his eyes were as steady as his voice.
"Can you beat me?"
"If you can't beat me, just run away."
Yang Jian said no more, and raised his hand from the handle of the knife at his waist without drawing the knife.
He walked to the edge of Formation Ship's left wing, and the toes of his boots stepped on the outermost edge of the deck.
In front of you is the Sea of Bitterness pipe wall and the Chaos space outside the pipe wall that is distorted by a giant object four thousand miles away.
Tongtian opened a second opening in the pipe wall.
The figure of Yang Jian got out of the hole and landed in Chaos of the Boundary Sea.
He is not as motionless as Gu Changqing.
His robes rolled up and down under the distortion of space, and half of his hair was loose.
But the two feet did not move at all when they stepped on the void, as if they had taken root on the ground.
Heavenly Eye is opened.
The light between the eyebrows is not the soft halo from the previous detection, but a sharp golden light beam.
The beam of light shot out from between the eyebrows and went straight to the direction Insect King ten thousand miles away.
The light beam bent when it hit the edge of Insect King's gravitational field, and was bent by half an angle by the distorted space.
Yang Jian's eyebrows Runes turned twice, and the light beam corrected its direction and straightened again.
Insect King's two eyeballs turned over at the same time.
The interhemispheric pupil is aligned with Yang Jian.
That feeling of being stared at by something four thousand miles away, Nezha felt chills on the back of his neck even when looking through the Magic Formation screen on the ship.
Yang Jian stood in the void without drawing his sword.
He raised his hands in front of him.
The ten fingers were crossed, the palms facing outward, the muscles on the back of the hands tensed one by one, and the joints made a fine crackling sound.
Then his body began to change.
The shoulders are pushed outwards, the chest is pushed forward, and the curvature of the spine is straightened and then arched back.
The entire body size expanded to twice its original size within three breaths.
Muscles bulged out from under the robe, and the seams of the robe were ripped open, revealing the blue-grey skin underneath.
Lines appeared on the skin.
It's not a tattoo, it's a pattern that grows from the flesh, in circles, like growth rings, spreading from the arm to the shoulder, and from the shoulder to the back.
Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.
Nezha has only seen Yang Jian use this Cultivation Technique once.
That was when Chaotic Star Sea hit Olden Days Ancient God's broken body, Yang Jian punched the broken body's protective body Law into cracks.
But that time I only opened the fourth level.
This time Nezha was counting the growth ring patterns on Yang Jian's body. When he reached the sixth circle, his fingers were not enough.
Seventh heavy.
Yang Jian's body no longer swelled and stabilized at a figure of about three feet tall, which was like a Dust compared to Insect King who was four thousand miles away.
But Dust moved.
Yang Jian kicked the void with his feet, and his body disappeared in place.
It wasn't that the speed was so fast that he couldn't see, it was that the space collapsed at the position where he started.
He jumped out of this pit and landed five thousand miles away.
Two steps.
Two steps span a thousand miles.
When his fist was sent out from the side of his waist, Insect King's two four-hundred-mile eyeballs finally gave a reaction.
Its mouth opened.
If the crack that spans half of the body is anything to go by.
The crack is more than a thousand miles wide. There are no teeth in it, and there is no sucker structure like Tide-Devouring Insect.
It is layer upon layer of scales that are stacked deep into the throat, with the tips of the scales all facing inward, like a Meat Grinder that cannot move backwards.
What emerged from the crack was a gray-white air wave.
The width of the air wave covers the front of Yang Jian and Three Thousand Li on the left and right sides.
Even the nearby Chaos space was flattened, like a giant hand wiping sideways in the muddy water.
Yang Jian didn't hide.
His fist had already fallen before the air wave arrived.
The point of impact was on a scale eight hundred miles below Insect King's right eye.
There was no sound the moment the fist touched the scales.
The sound cannot travel far in the Boundary Sea and Chaos, but the power can travel far.
The Black City-sized scale cracked in the middle.
Cracks exploded in all directions along the texture of the scales, and more than twenty scales around it were shattered into powder.
Before the powder has dispersed, Yang Jian's second punch has arrived.
same location.
The scales were broken into pieces, and the gray-white flesh was exposed underneath.
A pit with a diameter of five hundred miles was dented into the flesh under the impact of the fist, and a layer of light green liquid seeped out from the bottom of the pit.
Insect King's body convulsed.
The body of Four Thousand Miles was trembling violently in Chaos.
When the gray-white air wave spurted out from the mouth, the tail section also moved, whipping towards Yang Jian like a whip.
The end of the tail is a spike of condensed scales, two hundred miles in diameter, and the tip draws a spatial crack visible to the naked eye in Chaos.
Yang Jian's foot kicked on Insect King's flesh, and the whole person flew back Three Thousand Li.
The tail thorn swept past half a mile in front of him, causing turbulence in space and tearing off half of his robe.
His upper body was exposed.
The growth ring patterns on the blue-grey skin are shining in circles.
The outline of the muscles is harder than a stone, and there is not a single extra piece of fat on the line from the shoulders to the wrists.
The right fist was stained with Insect King's light green body fluid, which fluoresced in the dim light of Chaos.
Insect King transferred over.
The body that has traveled four thousand miles can change direction in the Boundary Sea much faster than imagined.
The distorted gravitational field of space rotated with it, and the void under Yang Jian's feet was twisted into a vortex.
His feet stepped into the whirlpool and his body sank halfway down.
The mouth opened again, and gray-white air waves filled with energy that was thicker than before poured towards Yang Jian.
Yang Jian did not go back.
He raised his hands above his head and clasped his ten fingers together.
The growth ring patterns on both arms all lit up, starting from the first ring to the Seventh ring, burning into the fists like fuses.
The fist was smashed down.
It didn't hit Insect King.
It was smashed into the void.
It hit the space structure under Insect King's feet that was distorted by its gravitational field.
The space is broken.
Not cracks, not distortions.
A whole piece of space with a diameter of Three Thousand Li was smashed away from the Boundary Sea and Chaos by this punch.
Together with the scales and flesh within the Three Thousand Li range at the bottom of Insect King's body, they collapsed into the black Abyss formed by the collapse of space.
Insect King made a sound.
The low-frequency sound waves penetrated the Sea of Bitterness tube wall, and the chests of everyone in Formation Ship resonated, and the body protective masks of several Heavenly Soldier were shattered.
Insect King's body was pulled out from the black Abyss.
The scales scraped against the broken space at the edge of Abyss.
Nearly 800 miles of the four-thousand-mile body was trapped in the collapse zone, and its struggling movements turned the surrounding Chaos into a pot of boiling paste.
Yang Jian landed on the edge of the collapse zone, his feet firmly planted and his chest heaving.
Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force Seventh The heavy consumption is not in vain.
After two punches, half of the blue-grey layer on his face had faded away, and his normal skin color was revealed from underneath.
He can still fight.
But he knew that Insect King could still move.
If something four thousand miles away falls eight hundred miles away, it will be like stepping on a puddle.
Insect King's body jerked suddenly inside Abyss, and one layer of his scales exploded.
The exploded fragments flew in all directions with light green body fluids, like a rainstorm of scales.
It climbed out of the collapse zone.
When he came out, his two eyeballs were fixed on Yang Jian.
The longitudinally slit pupil shrank to its narrowest point, and the gray-white turbidity inside turned into a darker color.
It became violent.
The mouth opened for the third time.
This time it's not air waves, it's scales.
What was sprayed out from the mouth was a piece of scale armor so dense that Shrouding the Heavens was blinding the sun. Each piece was spinning, and the edges were so sharp that they could split the space itself.
Tens of thousands of scale blades cut towards Yang Jian from all directions.
Yang Jian lowered his hands from the top of his head and placed them on both sides of his body, one on the left and one on the right. The light from the growth ring patterns converged from the arms to the palms of his hands.
His hands are clasped together.
A ball of light squeezed out between the two palms.
The light has no color. Unlike the transparency of Road Watchers, this ball of light is solid and heavy, like a piece of metal that has been compressed to the limit.
He pushed the ball of light forward.
The light exploded thirty miles ahead.
It's not an explosion, it's an expansion.
Like an umbrella that had been folded in countless layers, it suddenly opened up, and a circular light shield lay in front of Yang Jian, with a diameter of a thousand miles.
The scale blade hit the light shield, making a sound that was so dense that it connected into one.
Every impact made the surface of the light shield dent a little and then bounce back, like heavy rain hitting a drum.
After three breaths, the heavy rain of scales stopped.
The surface of the light shield was covered with fine cracks, but it was not broken.
Yang Jian walked out from behind the light shield, with a cut on the corner of his mouth and blood dripping down his chin.
Insect King faced him five thousand miles apart.
Its body is vibrating at a low frequency, its scales are constantly being repaired, and new energy is already gathering in its mouth.
Yang Jian only has five growth rings left on his arm that are still shining.
Seventh weight has retreated two levels.
The voice of Tongtian came from Communication Array.
"Yang Jian, withdraw."
Yang Jian didn't move.
He stared at Insect King, which was four thousand miles away, five thousand miles away, opened his mouth, and spit out the blood from the corner of his mouth.
The voice of Gu Changqing on the podium overshadowed that of Tongtian.
"No need to retreat, it's going to run away."
Yang Jian looked away from Insect King and looked down.
The tail of Insect King is shrinking deeper into Chaos.
Si Qianli's body began to sink, his scales tightened, and his gray-white skin tightened.
The two huge eyeballs glared at Yang Jian for the last time, and then were covered by the closed scales.
It's on the run.
Escape to the depths of the Boundary Sea.
The Fire-Tipped Spear of Nezha is no longer on the shoulders.
The tip of the gun pointed in the direction where Insect King sank. With a twist of his wrist, the flames wrapped around the gun rose to ten feet.
The orange-red fire burned a bright ball of light in the Boundary Sea and Chaos.
He kicked Wind-Fire Wheels and rushed out of the Sea of Bitterness pipe wall from the right wing of Formation Ship.
Fire-Tipped Spear gets rid of it.
The gun body turned into a ray of orange-red light, piercing straight towards the sinking tail of Insect King.
Insect King's scales are most tightly contracted at the tail, and the layered gray-silver armor plates shine with a metallic texture in the dim light of Chaos.
When the tip of Fire-Tipped Spear's spear hit the scales, the scales did not break.
But it didn't stop it either.
The orange-red flame on the tip of the gun changed color at the moment of contact.
From orange-red to white, from white to a certain brightness that cannot be seen directly by the eyes.
That is the state that occurs after Samadhi True Fire is pushed to the limit by the gun body of Fire-Tipped Spear.
The tip of the spear pierced the first layer of scale armor.
Second floor.
The third floor.
It penetrated seven layers of scale armor in one breath, and half of the gun body sank into the tail of Insect King.
The sinking of Insect King has stopped.
Si Qianli's body was nailed to the Boundary Sea's Chaos by a gun, like a fish pierced by a harpoon.
It struggled.
The tail was flicked hard, and the gun body with Fire-Tipped Spear drew a huge arc in Chaos, and the space where the arc swept was shattered.
But the gun didn't come out.
Samadhi True Fire on the tip of Fire-Tipped Spear's gun burned inside Insect King's body.
The light green body fluid was evaporated by the high temperature, and clouds of white steam emerged from the wounds around the gun body.
Nezha stood in the void and moved back with his right hand.
The gun didn't come back.
The flames on the gun spread into Insect King's body along the wound, not burning the scales, but burning the meridian network under the scales.
Insect King emitted a second low-frequency vibration, which was sharper than the first.
It stopped moving.
The body four thousand miles away was hung in the Chaos of the Boundary Sea, and was nailed to death by a Fire-Tipped Spear that was less than ten feet long.
Nezha flew to the tail of Insect King, held the tail of Fire-Tipped Spear's gun with one hand, and stood firm with his feet on Insect King's scales.
He pulled out his gun.
When the gun came out, it carried a large stream of light green body fluid and a string of gray-silver scale fragments. The fragments fell into Chaos, smoking.
Insect King's tail twitched twice and lost strength.
Nezha put Fire-Tipped Spear back on his shoulders and looked down at the scales the size of Black City under his feet.
"Yang Jian, the skin of this thing is quite hard."
Yang Jian flew over and landed on the head of Insect King, and the rise and fall of his chest had calmed down.
"What are you going to do about it?"
Nezha squatted down and patted Insect King's scales twice with his palms. The metallic reverberation buzzed through Chaos.
"It's a pity to throw away such good materials."
He turned back and looked in the direction of Formation Ship in the Sea of Bitterness passage.
"Master, can this insect peel off its skin?"
The voice of Gu Changqing floated over from Communication Array, with a slightly less obvious smile.
"Hey, you can never have too much top-grade scale armor."
Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear tip was inserted into the gap in Insect King's scale armor, and a cut was made along the texture.
The opening was opened, the fascia and meridians underneath were exposed, and light green body fluids leaked out.
Yang Jian also moved his hands on the head.
The short knife was pulled out from the waist, and the outline of the growth rings on the blade had not yet faded away. With one stroke, the knife cut open a whole piece of the thickest scale armor under Insect King's jaw.
Two people started working on the four-thousand-mile-long Insect King.
Zhao Gongming stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the picture on the screen of Magic Formation, his mouth wide open.
"Where's the pig slaughter?"
Tongtian ignored him, clicked a few nodes on Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram with his finger, and Formation Ship slowly leaned over.
The Sea of Bitterness channel expanded in a circle, wrapping Insect King's body within the scope of the pipe wall.
After a stick of incense.
More than three thousand pieces of the highest quality scales on Insect King's body were peeled off, and each piece was the size of Black City.
Yang Jian and Nezha stacked them neatly in the cargo hold of Formation Ship, and their gray-silver luster shone coldly in the cargo hold.
Part of the skeleton and tendons are also left.
Zhao Gongming said that Sea of Bitterness could use these things, so he put them in the box.
The remaining remains were pushed out of the Sea of Bitterness passage and sank into the Chaos depths of the Boundary Sea.
Nezha returned to his position on the right wing, covered with a layer of light green body fluids. The smell was so strong that Tongtian wrinkled his nose even though half of Formation Ship was there.
Yang Jian returned to the left wing, returned the sword to its sheath, put his hand back on the handle, and took the same position as before leaving.
The only difference was that blood was still oozing out from the cut at the corner of his mouth. He wiped it with his sleeve but didn't wipe it clean.
In Communication Array, the voice of Kelān fell silent for two breaths before it came out.
"Insect King of the Early Stage of the Sacrificial Dao Realm, died like this?"
Nezha is on the right wing with his gun raised.
"What if?"
Kelān said nothing.
On the podium, Gu Changqing touched Xiaotian Dog's head.
The dog has finished digesting, and its belly has changed from round to flat, and is being turned over for him to scratch.
"Tongtian, keep walking."
Formation Ship speeds up again, and the Sea of Bitterness channel advances straight in the direction of Savage Star Domain.
Yang Jian and Heavenly Eye resumed normal scanning, and the signal area in front was clean.
The voyage lasted two quarters of an hour.
Zhao Gongming suddenly turned his head at the bow of the ship.
"There is light ahead."
Not the shimmer of Chaos, not the dark color of Sea of Bitterness.
Sea of Bitterness At the end of the channel, a gray-white film is getting thinner.
The light coming out from behind the film is dark red, like half-burned coals.
"Boundary Sea edge."
Tongtian called up the coordinate data at the position of Main Battle Core.
"We're here."
The wall of the Sea of Bitterness tube of Zhao Gongming was gathered in front of the film, the black substance flowed back into the box, and the tube wall turned into the last thin protective shield.
The bow of Formation Ship passed through the membrane.
Dark red light poured in, piercing everyone's eyes and squinting.
After the eyes adapted, the full picture of Savage Star Domain appeared on the Magic Formation screen.
desolate.
Gray Stardust Belt stretches across the field of vision, and small broken stars are scattered throughout Star Domain like garbage.
There is no life, no aura, even light is dead.
But in the middle of this dead gray, there is something.
A city.
For a city with a diameter exceeding Three Thousand Li, the outer Formation barrier has been demolished down to the last two layers.
Dark red light leaked out from the gaps in the barrier, illuminating the entire Star Domain.
The city gate is wide open.
Nezha was lying on the right wing side and looking out. The Fire-Tipped Spear gun in his hand was fluttering in the dark red light.
"Master, which city's gate is open to you?"
Gu Changqing stood on the edge of the podium, his white clothes turned half red and half white by the dark red light of Savage Star Domain.
Xiaotian Dog squatted at his feet, with his nose facing the direction of the city.
This time it didn't drool or whimper.
It tucked its tail.
