Li Xingkong's Divine Light remained as powerful as ever, but the newly evolved insects had already become somewhat accustomed to such attacks.
The Divine Light struck their transformed bodies, deflecting most of its power, with only a small portion of the attack actually hitting them.
Furthermore, their rapid evolution has given them a super-strong regenerative ability, allowing them to quickly recover from the damage caused by the Divine Light. Clearly, they have developed a mature defensive mechanism against Li Xingkong's attack.
Li Xingkong had no choice but to raise his Magic Power shield, as the insects' attacks were quite annoying.
Although their attacks were not powerful enough to penetrate Li Xingkong's body, since they were biological weapons, mostly sprayed from his mouth or anus, the psychological damage they caused was still quite significant.
The insects mostly attack by using acid. Li Xingkong has also investigated the power of this acid; it can corrode most metals and solid substances, softening them and turning them into a meal.
However, this attack is not very effective against energy-type shields, since energy-type shields are not physical entities and therefore cannot be corroded by acid.
The insects' attack strategy was very simple and brutal.
Since Li Xingkong agile, then let more insects suppress him, narrow the encirclement area, and minimize Li Xingkong's space to dodge. Since he can spatially jump, then the insects responsible for sealing off the space will begin to exert their influence in the sea of people, using their numerical advantage to seal off this area of space tightly.
After the acid attack landed on the Magic Power shield without any effect, the subsequent insects quickly switched their attack methods.
They changed their acid attacks into strange mouthparts, abandoned ranged attacks, and instead charged directly at Li Xingkong.
The mouthpiece was identical in structure to the one used to absorb energy from Divine Sense, so Li Xingkong naturally understood what it did.
They intend to directly "eat up" Li Xingkong's shield.
This is also the mainstream approach for insects when facing giant warships: relying on their numerical advantage, they charge in and devour its shields.
You either have to kill all the bugs before the shield runs out, or you have to find a way to warp in before the shield is broken. You only have these two options when faced with this kind of playstyle.
However, for Li Xingkong, wanting to exhaust his Magic Power? That's just wishful thinking.
Li Xingkong himself doesn't know how to exhaust his Magic Power. With an energy conversion efficiency as high as 60%, the Golden Core in Li Xingkong's body is comparable to so-called inexhaustible energy. Even with his enhanced divine Divine Light being released so recklessly, the speed at which Magic Power power is consumed cannot keep up with the speed at which Magic Power is restored.
Moreover, Li Xingkong is a person, not a colossal warship that blots out the sky. His shield only protects his left and right sides, and is limited in size. Meanwhile, the insects are all much larger than Li Xingkong. This means that although many insects approach, only one or two can actually hug the shield and start eating.
Could the bites of one or two insects break through Li Xingkong's shield? Obviously not. Their bodies swell rapidly after being bitten, quickly expanding to resemble balloons.
Other insects were still squeezing in, while the insects that had already been stretched out had nowhere to go.
The next second, with a loud bang, the insect that had consumed too much energy was burst open, clearing a large space around Li Xingkong in the process.
The explosive power of this explosion is comparable to that of a regular space bomb.
The insects were attacking, and Li Xingkong was observing them, trying to find their weaknesses.
As the battle became increasingly intense, he did gain a glimmer of inspiration from observing.
It is matter.
The biggest factor limiting the development of insects is material resources.
It can only be said that there are many clever people in the Convention. Insects are known for their numbers and evolutionary abilities. They can break through any direct attack or defense one day. But they obviously have no way to break through spatial constraints like the Klein Bottle.
In addition to this spatial confinement, material constraints are also needed to completely eradicate these insects.
Their feeding ability is terrifying and incredibly efficient.
All the substances they consume can perfectly participate in their own operation and the birth of the new Zerg.
In other words, although they were trapped in such a space, the insects' strength has not diminished at all over the years.
Because the total amount of matter within the space is conserved, and there is no exchange of matter with the outside world, the insects have consumed all the matter in this space and transformed into insects.
To reduce their numbers, these substances must be evaporated.
Does Li Xingkong a solution? Actually, he does.
The Golden Core's energy conversion efficiency of 60% can not only be used to provide Magic Power, but it can also be used to burn the matter around it into Magic Power, that is, to achieve a conversion of matter that is nearly half lost into energy.
Although energy can be used to sustain life, insects cannot convert energy back into matter.
Therefore, to effectively eliminate these insects, simply scattering all the materials around the battlefield is an effective method.
However, this only applies to situations like now, where these insects are trapped here without any other source of material. If they were to escape into the universe, the universe is so vast that Li Xingkong couldn't possibly destroy the entire universe.
Having observed the habits and fighting methods of these insects thoroughly, Li Xingkong no longer held back. He was about to test just how powerful his attacks would be when he got serious.
Thinking of this, Li Xingkong's eyes sharpened instantly, and the Magic Power in his Dantian Palace surged out like a vast ocean, flowing through his body along the Mana Circuit.
The strange phenomenon caused by the flow of Magic Power made the surrounding insects struggle.
Li Xingkong's body seemed to become a huge source of gravity. The insects that were close to him were caught off guard and were pulled in by this huge gravitational force, crashing headfirst into Li Xingkong's shield.
The gravity continued to increase, and even these insects could not resist the tearing force of this gravity. They struggled and huddled together, and then that ball of Flesh and Blood continued to shrink, shrink, until it became a wall of flesh and Flesh and Blood as thick as a paper shell.
A space suddenly opened up around Li Xingkong, and new insects continued to swarm in, but Li Xingkong already had his true move in hand.
It was still that same Divine Light, but this time it was the first time Li Xingkong had made a serious move after advancing to the Golden Core Sixth Level stage.
In an instant, Li Xingkong's body seemed to transform into a star; in the entire galaxy, and even the entire sky, there was nothing brighter than him.
A beam of light emanated from his body, shooting out in all directions in a sweeping, overwhelming manner.
All the insects were instantly dissolved under this beam of light, like cotton candy soaking in water; not a single one could escape.
