The Insect King has appeared!

It was a giant Demon Insect over thirty feet in length, its entire body a bright golden, as if cast from gold.

Purple-black Spirit Patterns were imprinted all over its body.

It also had cicada-like golden wings and a mouth full of serrated teeth.

Compared to the first-order Demon Insects that were only fist-sized, the Insect King’s sheer size made it an entirely different creature.

Even the strongest Demon Insect guarding by the Insect King’s side was more than ten times smaller in size.

This is the Insect King, the monarch of countless Demon Insects.

For a swarm of Demon Insects of Insect Catastrophe Level, the Insect King is often the product of numerous mutations.

Their individual combat strength is king among their peers, not to mention competing with a Flood Dragon of the same stage.

As the monarch of the swarm, the Insect King also receives the power amplification from the entire swarm, doubling its strength.

At this moment, with the appearance of the Insect King, the swarm of insects seemed to be on a stimulant, converging towards the Insect King.

Soon, an immeasurably huge insect appeared in the sky.

This immense insect, composed of billions of Demon Insects, was over ten miles long with a wingspan of seven to eight miles, resembling an ancient monstrosity.

And such a thing was definitely not just for show.

The Giant Insect shimmered with a dazzling five-colored spiritual light, and a tidal wave-like surge of Five-Colored Spiritual Light swept towards the Human Clan Cultivator’s position.

Clearly, the Insect King, unlike ordinary Demon Insects that lacked wisdom, knew that directly attacking those inscrutable Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators would be difficult, so it had adopted a hit-the-enemy-where-they-must-rescue approach.

Indeed, this tactic was effective.

The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the Human Clan, of course, could not just watch as the Insect King slaughtered their juniors.

Thus, one after another, powerful Spiritual Treasures and Dharma Treasures were launched at the Five-Colored tidal wave, forcefully tearing it apart and detonating it.

At the same time, a purple-red pillar of fire, spanning the sky, suddenly pierced through the air, striking the Giant Insect like a divine punishment.

In an instant, the body of the Giant Insect was pierced through, leaving a hollow space with a diameter of several tens of feet.

Hundreds of thousands of Demon Insects were directly obliterated by this strike, not even leaving any residue.

However, a strong surge of Five-Colored spiritual light soon erased the remaining power of the purple-red pillar of fire, and the body of the Giant Insect was restored to its original state.

And at this time, the second strike from the Giant Insect was also released.

Suddenly, the Giant Insect launched a volley of thousands of arrows, spurting columns of spiritual power light shining in various colors, sweeping indiscriminately at the Cultivators on the Human Clan’s position, with countless barrages numbering in the tens of thousands.

To the Golden Core Stage Cultivators, these beams of spiritual power were not particularly formidable.

But they were certainly not something that Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators could withstand, let alone Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators.

Compared to the previous Five-Colored tidal wave, this barrage of spiritual power light coming from all directions was clearly even harder to defend against.

At this moment, a dozen or so Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators could only take action individually, doing their utmost to block these beams of spiritual power.

Yet even their combined efforts could block only less than seventy percent of the spiritual power light!

As a result, this wave of the Giant Insect’s attack alone directly killed more than a thousand Cultivators on the spot, including some from the Purple Mansion Phase.

"Wicked beast, dare you!!"

A roar of anger rose from the sky, as a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator was enraged by the Giant Insect’s actions.

He stimulated a fiery red Treasure Bead to its limit; in an instant, it turned into a Fire Dragon tens of feet long and pounced towards the Giant Insect with bared fangs and claws.

Yet, relative to the Giant Insect’s ten-mile-long vast body, the mere tens of feet long Fire Dragon seemed minuscule!

Even though this Fire Dragon had the power to scorch mountains and boil seas, with each dive burning tens of thousands of Demon Insects, compared to the Giant Insect’s tremendous size, it was merely a drop in the ocean.

Nevertheless, after witnessing the Giant Insect’s immense threat to the lower and middle tier Cultivators, the Nascent Soul Stage and Golden Core Stage Cultivators could no longer afford to hold back any of their power.

Various Dharma Treasures and spells bombarded the Giant Insect in the sky, incessantly eroding the Giant Insect’s size like small knives cutting through flesh.

For a time, corpses of Demon Insects fell like dense raindrops from the sky, many disintegrating into ash.

At this point, the Giant Insect again changed its tactics.

It stopped dispersing its power to attack the middle and lower tier Human Clan Cultivators and began to concentrate its energy to move faster, seemingly preparing to break through despite the onslaught.

The Human Clan Cultivators naturally would not let the Giant Insect get its way.

A dozen or so Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators made full-force attacks, relentlessly assaulting the Giant Insect, with each attack annihilating tens or even hundreds of thousands of Demon Insects.

In particular, the purple-red pillars of fire falling from the sky pierced through the Giant Insect each time, burning a great number of high-level Demon Insects.

In just a short flight of less than a hundred miles, the Giant Insect’s size had drastically shrunk by nearly half.

This rate of depletion was clearly unacceptable to the Insect King.

If this continued, by the time it truly arrived in the territory of Glory Country, it feared that less than one-tenth of its subjects would remain.

Then, as expected, something happened.

The vast Giant Insect suddenly dispersed, instantaneously splitting into twenty-four much smaller Giant Insects, each speeding off toward Glory Country.

This was a choice made by the Insect King in a desperate attempt to preserve the vitality of the swarm.

It was also something the Human Clan Cultivators had long anticipated.
