Lu Yin looked back at the Nine Firmaments. This was the Nine Firmaments Universe, a spiritualized universe. It was not his place to speak, and he did not wish to mobilize the entire Tian Yuan Universe one day. The most simple wish to live on was to pass down a civilization's legacy, even if it was only in this corner. He did not ask for resplendence; he only asked for eternity.
The sea of insects surged as they charged towards the human army.
Lu Yin's fist smashed through the void and swept across the entire heavens. He wanted to use the power of a single punch to completely obliterate this boundless sea of insects. This power was definitely capable of doing so.
Just as Lu Yin's fist smashed through the void and extended towards the sea of insects, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier that caused the power of the punch to gradually disappear.
Lu Yin's expression changed. What was this?
A strange creature had appeared outside the invisible barrier. Rather than a creature, it was more like a celestial phenomenon. The sun and moon alternated, and it was embedded in some kind of deep template. This template was like the universe, and it gave off a dark and profound feeling. A needle was erected high up in the sky as it faced Lu Yin.
Lu Yin immediately recognized that this was one of the four Insect Lords: the Time of Avici.
From what Dan Zhu knew, the Time of Avici was special. It was a strange creature like the Luo Chan. The Luo Chan was a transference, while the Time of Avici was time.
No creature had ever been able to leave alive in front of the Time of Avici. The Time of Avici was the controller of time, and any battle could hand over the strongest enemy to the Time of Avici. The Time of Avici had never been defeated.
Lu Yin's fear of the four Insect Lords originated from Dan Zhu's understanding of them. Dan Zhu's greatest fear was none other than the Time of Avici.
The Time of Avici was strange, and Dan Zhu could not understand it.
At this moment, the Time of Avici was blocking Lu Yin's path.
Lu Yin stared at the Time of Avici, which had no eyes, ears, mouth, or nose. It was a celestial phenomenon that seemed to be observing Lu Yin.
The power of Lu Yin's punch had completely dissipated, and even the shattered void was recovering. The invisible barrier seemed to have split the universe in two: time.
Behind Lu Yin, countless cultivators stopped and looked across. They had been shocked by Lu Yin's punch, but now, they were shocked by the Time of Avici.
…
The second Night Pillar of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was in Kongming Universe. A group of cultivators also appeared: the second Night Pillar and the cultivators of the Southern Region of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Before, the eighth Night Pillar had been in charge of the sea of insects. Now, the eighth Night Pillar was in charge of protecting the Southern Region of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
Yu charged forward. The Second Night Pillar had yet to recover from the battle in the universe, and it was fortunate that the entire southern region was ready to face him. Bai Xia wielded a long blade and slashed out, causing an enormous blade to extend endlessly towards the sea of insects. Just like Lu Yin, he wanted to kill off a wave of insects right from the start.
However, the insectoid hive had been through as many wars as the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Dao Feng had suddenly disappeared. Bai Xia was puzzled. How did he disappear?
He couldn't even see it clearly.
In front of him, a creature that looked like a ladybug flickered. It was Luo Chan.
Bai Xia subconsciously slashed out, but this time, he didn't even have a blade. Bai Xia was completely dumbfounded.
Suddenly, a spike pierced through the void and headed for his head. Bai Xia raised a hand and flicked his finger. If there was no blade, then there was no need to use it. The spike had suppressed the Eighth Night Pillar, and if Xuelou hadn't used the Scarlet Tower to resist, the Eighth Night Pillar would have been doomed. Bai Xia flicked his finger, but his finger wasn't in a good condition either.
Behind him, the maid was shocked. She knew Bai Xia's strength all too well. Even though he rarely fought outside because he was guarding the Junior Palace, in terms of true power, he was definitely at the peak of the Ku Adversity Realm. He was close to the limit of power, but he had actually been injured by the spike?
Bai Xia's expression sank. "No wonder Xuelou said that there was a troublesome character here. Apart from him, there are eighteen other insects that can use the void as a string. This is troublesome."
Aside from the Spinneret and the Spinneret Bug, Luo Chan was even more troublesome.
Yu had experienced the battle in the universe, and his strength had declined greatly. He was the main attacker on this battlefield, but he hadn't expected to be attacked as soon as he made a move.
No wonder the Eighth Night Pillar had been defeated and Xuelou had been severely injured.
…
In the Eighth Night Pillar's direction, Xuelou glanced at the Second Night Pillar worriedly. He had already informed the Second Night Pillar of the strength of the Spinneret Worm and hoped that they wouldn't be careless.
At this moment, the Eighth Night Pillar was facing off against the sea of insects.
Xuelou was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and Xingfan was also joining the battle. He had once been the God of Defense, but now, he had been asked to support the Eighth Night Pillar.
This battlefield was much less stressful than the other three, but Dan Xiao's appearance still greatly increased the pressure on Xuelou and Xingfan. They had actually seen a human face against an insectoid hive. What did this mean?
This meant that there was still a human civilization outside of the few known human universes in the Ninth Heaven Universe, and that human civilization had been exterminated.
Dan Xiao grinned as she watched the two work together. The sea of insects charged forward, and Xingfan raised his hand to summon multiple Heavenly Mirrors. The Thousand Sails Heavenly Mirror was a true scripture.
Dan Xiao was overjoyed and clapped her hands. "Sister, you're amazing! Do you like pink?
Do I like yellow?
Then … "Her expression suddenly turned frighteningly gloomy." We're irreconcilable. "
"Third, the Royal Heaven Art." Dan Xiao raised her hands and struck the void with her soft palms, creating a barrier in the void.
"Thousand Sails Heavenly Mirror."
A sun appeared in the dark universe. The sails were used as mirrors, and each mirror was a person. They were cultivators from the Northern Domain and Eastern Domain. At this moment, they transformed into beams of light that shot out from the Thousand Sails Heavenly Mirror and bombarded the Barrier.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion, and the stars turned into waves that swept towards the Ninth Heaven Universe. The shockwaves from the collision between the Thousand Sails Heavenly Mirror and the Third Imperial Heaven Art were directed towards Xingfan, which meant that Dan Xiao had completely blocked it.
Xingfan was shocked. How was this possible?
She felt as powerless as she had felt against Lu Yin.
Xuelou leapt forward, and a sea of blood filled the sky as he used the Xuelou Eight Styles.
Dan Xiao was shocked. "What a fierce attack! It seems like it can be even stronger. Unfortunately, you're still too weak."
The barrier suddenly rose, and Xuelou Eight Styles slammed into it. Even though Xuelou wasn't pushed back, the barrier didn't break.
The corners of Dan Xiao's mouth curled up. "How interesting. Can someone so strong appear so casually?
You guys are much stronger than the third stronghold. Then, this is going to be fun, haha. "
…
In the West of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was the First Night Pillar. However, the First Night Pillar was special, it didn't move. Outside the First Night Pillar, Gu Duan Ke, Death Hillock, and the cultivators of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were impatient.
In addition to the sea of insects, they also saw the gigantic Third Night Pillar.
The insect nest civilization had returned on the Third Night Pillar, which was a disgrace to the Ninth Heaven Universe.
When the Third Night Pillar was destroyed, Gu Duanke and the people from the Death Hillock wanted to take it back. But now, they were enraged.
The sword pierced through the galaxy and cut through the sky. The moment Gu Duanke attacked, he displayed the Nine Firmaments Sword Head.
The sword crossed the sky and tore the void apart. Countless people were dumbfounded.
The experts from the Death Hillock who rushed out at the same time as Gu Duanke were shocked. When the sword intent soared into the sky, their bodies trembled unconsciously. That was the vigilance brought by the sword intent. Even if the sword intent wasn't directed at them, it made them subconsciously slow down.
E Xiu was shocked. Everyone knew that Gu Duanke's swordsmanship was very strong, and he was recognized as the First Night Pillar of the Ninth Heaven Sword. But since he hadn't fought for many years, no one had experienced the power of the First Night Pillar of the Ninth Heaven Sword.
But now, the sword tore the sky apart. They couldn't withstand this sword.
Chao Yi's eyes flickered. Gu Jing wanted to surpass Gu Duanke. They used to think that it was possible, but now they realized how big the gap was.
This wasn't a gap in combat strength, but a gap in the comprehension of the sword intent. It was a gap that could never be shortened.
This sword was like Qing Xing's Ancient Chaotic Qi Technique. It shocked everyone who saw it.
It was as if a monster had been released from the cage of heaven and earth.
The sea of insects was directly split into two. It even killed Qing Xian.
Hua Yan was shocked. Fortunately, he didn't rush to the front. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to block this sword.
However, this sword also angered Di Hou.
Di Hou was like a giant python that coiled around the Third Night Pillar. Even though it was close to the Jiuxiao universe, it was still asleep.
However, Gu Duanke's sword woke it up. It raised its head and looked at Gu Duanke.
Gu Duanke looked at Di Hou's enormous body. Not only was it coiled around the Third Night Pillar, but it was also coiled around the entire Jiuxiao universe. It was difficult to breathe.
He gripped the hilt of his sword, raised it, and slashed out.
Di Hou roared at the sky, and a terrifying power swept across the void. It flattened the entire void and turned into a huge dark plane that spread towards the sword intent.
Chao Yi, Long Yin, and the others narrowed their eyes. This power?
…
In the direction of the Fifth Night Pillar, Lu Yin was staring at Avici. When Gu Duanke's first attack came out, he was surprised. Gu Duanke's sword intent was more powerful than he had expected.
The moment Pyrolyte roared, Lu Yin suddenly looked in the direction of the Western Divine Region. Through the universe's starry skies, he could sense an extraordinary power that caused the power within his body to boil. When he saw Pyrolyte, he was stunned. Primal Chaos?
Di Hou was exactly the same as Chaos.
How could they be exactly the same?
Could Chaos be a part of the hive civilization?
Impossible. If Chaos was Di Hou, the Tian Yuan Universe would have been destroyed by the hive civilization long ago. That was before the Above Heaven Sect had been established — no, before the humans had appeared. The Tian Yuan Universe's coordinates had been exposed to the hive civilization, and the Tian Yuan Universe had been unable to resist at that time.
Not only the Tian Yuan Universe, but this war would also have occurred at that time. It would not be happening now.
But if Chaos was not Di Hou, how could Di Hou be exactly the same as Chaos?
He then thought of the old salamander, who was exactly the same as Chaos.
The old salamander had seen Chaos appear in the Gate of Arts and believed that it was the most powerful creature in the universe. Thus, he had deliberately chosen to take the form of a beast and had even faked his death to leave the Zhan family.
What about Di Hou?
Would it be the same as the old salamander?
Di Hou was Qing Xian, and Qing Xian had different forms. If Di Hou had seen or interacted with Chaos before it was born, it could have taken the form of Chaos.
