CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 88: THE INSECT DISASTER ASSAULTS!
Boom!
The epic battle between the two sides was about to ignite.
An invisible domain spread out, and Wang Xu stood within it. Countless swords appeared, floating in the air to form a massive Sword Realm.
The domain spanned a range of about three hundred meters, with Wang Xu standing at the center, charging forward with it in a mighty impact.
The Cyan-Horned White Beast swung its massive hundred-meter claws, pouncing forward with terrifying force.
In an instant, Wang Xu blocked the giant claw with his horizontal sword, enduring all the power. He let out a furious roar, and the fiery long sword spun around, striking directly at the Cyan-Horned White Beast. Simultaneously, all the swords in the domain rained down, completely enveloping the beast.
Roar!
The Cyan-Horned White Beast let out a low deep roar, its scarlet eyes filled with rage. It felt pain, and the sight of this insignificant creature daring to hurt it was unforgivable!
Two giant claws came down, tearing through the air with sonic booms, aiming to kill Wang Xu in a single strike.
This strike from the Cyan-Horned White Beast seemed slow, but strangely, Wang Xu found himself with nowhere to escape.
"This strike! Every time I see its attacks being slow, yet I always feel trapped. So this is it, the Heaven and Earth Will. Its attacks are infused with Heaven and Earth Will!" Wang Xu was surprised.
Wang Xu had successfully comprehended the Sword Intent of Life Slaughter and realized the threat of the Cyan-Horned White Beast. Each of its strikes seemed slow, but with the infusion of Heaven and Earth Will, its power surged as if the whole heaven and earth were pressing down, leaving no room to hide.
Even though Wang Xu was already half a step into the "Will Level" body technique, he had no choice but to endure the attack head-on.
"Fine! You have the Heaven and Earth Will, and so do I. Let’s see whose will is stronger!" Wang Xu’s heroic spirit soared, and with unwavering determination, he swung the fiery long sword in a stream of light toward the giant claw of the Cyan-Horned White Beast.
Boom!
With a force of millions of kilograms, combined with the enhancement of the Star Spiritual Treasure Set, the explosive power knocked the massive body of the Cyan-Horned White Beast staggering backward. A wound opened on its giant claw, bleeding profusely.
The Cyan-Horned White Beast was enraged. Its long tail, like an iron chain, swung down massively.
Wang Xu showed no fear, clashing head-on!
The intense battle between the two began. Although Wang Xu had the upper hand, the Cyan-Horned White Beast was no easy opponent. It was only of Initial Rank Star Level, but not even Upper Rank Star Level could match it. Every Star Giant Beast had innate advantages that same-tier Cosmic Martial Artists couldn’t handle.
Wang Xu, using the Star Spiritual Treasure Set and the confines of an Ancient Battleship, temporarily suppressed the Cyan-Horned White Beast. But in the real cosmos, the beast could continually absorb Cosmic Energy, becoming even stronger. Even ten Wang Xus would meet their doom.
Moreover, the Cyan-Horned White Beast wasn’t slow. If it couldn’t win, it could always flee, and with Wang Xu’s current speed, he couldn’t keep up.
Boom!
Another strike sent Wang Xu’s figure retreating violently, the Sword Realm slowly dissipating. His face was slightly pale, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"I lost this time, but next time, I will defeat you!" Wang Xu admitted his defeat honestly. Even though he temporarily suppressed the beast, his Sword Realm consumed massive energy, something he couldn’t afford.
Nevertheless, Wang Xu gained much from each battle, gaining insights that sharply increased his combat ability. He would start reflecting, comprehending, discovering his shortcomings, and observing his opponent’s weaknesses... Wang Xu was continuously improving.
Ordering to leave the Hunting Ground, Wang Xu returned to the Central Control Room, his Star Spiritual Treasure shattered once more.
What ordinary Star Level Cosmic Martial Artist could withstand such consumption?
"Master, there’s an application alert from your communications Light Computer." The Celestial Spirit flew over, holding Wang Xu’s Light Computer.
"Oh?" Wang Xu glanced, "Brother Hong?"
After choosing to connect, the Light Computer’s screen was slow to light up, with chaotic static noise coming from the other end.
"Brother Wang Xu!" After a while, Hong Yushu’s avatar finally appeared on the screen.
"Brother Hong, what’s happening?" Wang Xu asked.
"Quick! Come to the Fourth Safe Zone; creatures in the ocean have mutated into Insect Beasts, massive in number and strength. I’ve already notified the Venerables of other Safe Zones, eleven of them are on their way." Hong Yushu said urgently. "And several Supreme level Insect Beasts are also present. We’re barely holding on, hurry up!"
"Insect Beast invasion?" Wang Xu’s pupils contracted, "Alright, I’m on my way!"
After ending the call, Wang Xu took off, rapidly heading toward the Fourth Safe Zone.
......
The Fourth Safe Zone, located along the coastal area, was the only Safe Zone situated by the sea.
Ordinarily, sea creatures rarely came ashore, and just a couple of artillery shots could deal with them without needing the Genetic Warrior forces.
But today, the sea creatures seemed to have an agreement, with millions of ocean creature armies crashing toward the Safe Zone. Artillery and Laser Cannons rained down mercilessly, slaughtering wildly.
"No! These aren’t sea creatures, they’ve all mutated into Insect Beasts!" The officer who noticed this turned pale, shouting loudly, "Quick! Contact the Genius Battle Group and the stationed Venerable, activate the SSS-level alert!"
Woooo~~~ Woooo~~~~ Woooo~~~
Alarm sirens resonated throughout the Safe Zone, and all humans hearing the alert dropped their work, rushing to trains heading to other Safe Zones.
Normally, people could just hide in underground shelters during alerts, but this was an SSS-level alert, and civilians were only supposed to do one thing—run!
The number of Insect Beast armies continued to grow, with all creatures in the ocean seeming to follow some command, surging toward the Safe Zone.
The Energy Barrier was barely holding up under such a terrifying Insect Beast army. Over time, small cracks began to widen, spreading across the Energy Barrier. Fear was etched across all soldiers’ and officers’ faces; if the Energy Barrier shattered, the Safe Zone would be exposed to Insect Beasts, and all humans would face death with no exceptions!
Human technology became most effective at this time, almost continuously firing at the Insect Beast army. The Light Thermal Cannon generated high temperatures capable of melting steel, cutting through like a beam, turning all it touched into bloody pools. The massive trenches left behind sparked, and even a touch from the Insect Beasts following would cause them to howl in agony.
The Light Thermal Cannon carved out a scorching area of retreat, easing the onslaught of millions of Insect Beasts. The Energy Barrier’s burden lessened, and it began to self-repair, providing some relief to the soldiers and officers.
"Sir... Sir, look at that!" Trembling, the scout’s voice was filled with fear.
No need to say, everyone saw it.
On the ocean, a group of enormous, murderous Giant Insect Beasts surfaced, tossing aside the smaller ones in front and crossing the scorching zone. Among them were Tier Six, Tier Seven, Tier Eight, and even Tier Nine beasts—a terrifying lineup with overwhelming numbers, crazily rushing toward the Safe Zone!
"It’s over, this time we’re done for." An officer dazedly tore off his hat, faces of soldiers showed despair.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, three figures came stepping through the air, looking down upon the chaotic, fiery, and bloody battlefield below.
"Venerables! The Venerables are here!" The officers were overjoyed to tears, and the soldiers looked fervently at the three figures in the sky.
Venerables!
Humanity’s strongest defenders!
As long as they were here, no matter how many Insect Beasts there were, there was nothing to fear!
"Second, third, you handle those little creatures, I’ll take care of the big ones. Once you’re done, come join me immediately, quickly understood?" The figure in the middle spoke.
"Yes, Big Brother!" Immediately, two figures flew off in different directions, their swords drawn, descending with force among the chaos.
Meanwhile, the figure in the middle slowly drew twin blades from behind, their gaze piercing as they fixed on the incoming giant Insect Beasts, and plunged forward!
