At that moment, the light seemed to take on a physical form, spreading outwards and covering an area of nearly two galaxies.
The insects within this area were basically wiped out by Li Xingkong, leaving hardly any intact corpses behind.
Countless insects were reduced to ashes, and various fragments of limbs and fine dust from their decomposition permeated the entire galaxy. Li Xingkong even felt that sound could now be transmitted directly within the galaxy.
Gathering his Divine Light, Li Xingkong once again surveyed his surroundings; there wasn't a single insect left in sight.
The black tide of insects stopped in the distance, not getting any closer.
After a long silence, Li Xingkong became somewhat embarrassed. Had he used too much force in his attack and frightened the insects?
Before long, a group of insects broke out from the black tide and came to Li Xingkong's side.
"My lord, our battle was exhilarating, but it must end here."
"Did I go too far and cause you losses?"
Li Xingkong was still a little embarrassed.
"That's not the case. Attacks of this magnitude aren't uncommon, but they certainly exceeded our expectations. You need to leave as soon as possible."
These words clearly puzzled Li Xingkong. If it was just a normal attack, why should he leave now?
"Why is that?"
"There's nothing wrong with saying it. As you should know, this is a battlefield between my Zerg and the Mechanical Scourge. Attacks of this magnitude are commonplace during combat. But this also means that both sides have extremely high detection capabilities for attacks of this level."
"In other words, because of your move, the Mechanical Scourge's offensive will arrive in this area in 20 minutes, and this place will become the front line."
"As we've said, to ensure your safety, it's best to contact the Convention organizers as soon as possible for a safe evacuation."
As the group of insects spoke, Li Xingkong had already noticed the changes in the surrounding insect swarm.
A large number of insects had already surrounded them again, but Li Xingkong had hardly seen the newly appeared units before; they seemed to be a special evolved group designed to counter the Mechanical Scourge.
Some large entities that Li Xingkong had not seen before also emerged. Their size was comparable to that of a regular warship. Insects of all sizes swam around them, collecting and carrying back the scattered matter in the area, like a beehive.
Li Xingkong could not refuse their kindness; after all, this was a real battlefield, and for any reason, it was best for him to leave before the battle began.
He raised his hand and made a gesture, the escape posture he had agreed upon with Yan Jun. The moment Li Xingkong made the gesture, he felt as if he had passed through a layer of water.
I haven't moved in space and am still in the same place, but the insects around me seem to have disappeared from my sight.
"That was a great play, but you still have a lot to show."
Yan Jun's figure slowly emerged from the side, as if it had been formed from the very essence of heaven and earth.
"Just moving my hands already felt great."
Li Xingkong looked around; it was the first time he had ever stood in such an environment.
Even though he and Yan Jun were right next to those insects, it was as if there were two different worlds between them.
Li Xingkong felt as if he were watching a movie, or as if he were perceiving a parallel world with his naked eyes.
There's a hint of the Thousand Mountains Method here.
"This is the method of Axiom Arc; they are inside the bottle, and we are outside the bottle."
Yan Jun seemed to sense Li Xingkong's confusion and offered a brief explanation.
It's like a mirror; we're on this side, and they're on the other.
Yan Jun casually waved his hand, and a ring surged towards the swarm of insects.
Li Xingkong did indeed feel a great deal of power from it, but after the ring came into contact with the insect swarm, the two seemed to be completely unrelated and drifted apart.
"This side and that side of the mirror appear the same, yet they do not affect each other; this is the Mirror Realm."
"I know you've had contact with the Shadow Realm through the Sihali Kingdom, but it's different from the Mirror Realm. As things stand, the Mirror Realm is very likely related to parallel worlds."
Yan Jun didn't seem to have a deep understanding of the Mirror Realm, but at least in terms of usage, he was quite proficient in using the Axiom Arc arc technique.
"Alright, the great battle is about to begin. This is a VIP spot; apart from the guide, no one else has ever been allowed to watch the battle in this way."
Although Yan Jun was by Li Xingkong's side, he seemed to have a certain degree of control over the battlefield inside the bottle.
Although Li Xingkong also released his Divine Sense, under this spatial separation, what his Divine Sense saw and obtained was no different from what his naked eyes could see. All the data detected by his Divine Sense indicated that there was nothing there.
But what the naked eye sees cannot be faked; those insects were just interacting with him, so how could it be fake?
magic.
The word "amazing" could only come to mind for Li Xingkong.
"Tsk tsk, I knew it, the civilization in this universe is quite interesting."
Just as Li Xingkong and Yan Jun were waiting for the battle to begin, the system popped up.
"So, what have you discovered this time?"
This guy definitely didn't just pop up for no reason.
"This space before us could be described as Xingkong, but it's a fragmented space that hasn't yet broken free from our current world."
"Although not as powerful as the Thousand Mountains Method, it has still transcended the current universe by half a step."
After reviewing the space, the system turned its attention to Yan Jun.
"These guys with Kilometer Arc are tough to deal with. How threatening do you think they are?"
Li Xingkong secretly glanced at Yan Jun with his Divine Sense.
"I sense they have very strong spatial abilities. If they use that trick on me, I'm not sure I can escape."
Li Xingkong pointed to the huge prison cell in front of him.
"But if it's a head-on confrontation, I should have a fair chance."
Li Xingkong pondered.
"Heh heh, as expected, your vision is still too shallow. What makes you think they're on par with the Kingdom of Fixed Light?"
The system laughed.
"This one-sided space isn't just for trapping people. If you look closely, Yan Jun's very existence is a small one-sided space. No attack method in reality can hit him."
"Whether it's energy attacks or light attacks, none of them are effective against him. If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be 'beyond the three realms and outside the five elements,' which would be a true description of them."
"Even spatial attacks are space itself... Have you considered using beams of light against the people of the Fixed Light Kingdom?"
Li Xingkong shook his head. That wasn't like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone and never to return.
