245: endless

With his doubts resolved, He Ming no longer focused on his inner universe; his consciousness returned to reality, and he began to break through with all his might.

The moment the Void Insect King was pulled into the inner universe by the imperial seal of china, it was erased by the rules and transformed into the purest nine-colored Star Power, stored within the different space He Ming had constructed.

To extract it, he only needed to use Void Shift to pull out the nine-colored Star Power.

If he were to slowly refine it in the real universe, it might not even be possible to digest a Universe Venerable level Void Insect King in a hundred years.

Ten days.

He Ming's cultivation realm rose to the sixth rank of the Universe Venerable level.

Another ten days later, he reached the peak of the sixth rank.

During this period, the three Venerables captured three more Void Insect Kings, and three more portions of Universe Venerable level nine-colored Star Power were added to the imperial seal of china.

Under He Ming's control, ten percent of this Star Power merged into his inner universe, laying the groundwork for the future.

Three months later.

With the support of a cultivation speed ten billion times faster, He Ming successfully broke through to the peak of the ninth rank of the Universe Venerable level.

Just then, a fierce battle was taking place in the depths of the Abyss.

The top ten combatants of the Zerg received an order from the Zerg Queen: to break through the blockade at all costs and perish together with the humans.

However, Thousand Jin had already sealed the surrounding space; to break through, they would have to kill or severely injure him.

The former was absolutely impossible.

If they could really kill Thousand Jin, the Zerg would have done so hundreds of millions of years ago.

An Insect King with long, narrow blades for hands hissed sharply, speaking in human language.

"Thousand Jin, don't be too arrogant. As long as we fight you without regard for the cost, it's not impossible to severely injure you before our origins are exhausted and escape the blockade."

"That's right! We only need one King to escape, and we can exterminate the human race in an instant!"

"Stop wasting time talking to him; dragging this out is disadvantageous to us!"

The ten Insect Kings charged at Thousand Jin, risking their lives without regard for the cost.

"Just by relying on you?"

The True Spirit Dharma Idol behind Thousand Jin pressed its palms together, and the law of strength rippled out, shattering the approaching ten Insect Kings into dust.

The next moment, the Insect Kings' bodies regenerated, and they charged again.

"Die!"

Thousand Jin raised his hand and pressed down into the void; the True Spirit Dharma Idol brought a palm down, striking one of the carapace-like Insect Kings. It instantly shattered into a cloud of blood mist, and a portion of its life essence was absorbed, making the True Spirit Dharma Idol more solid.

This was the fundamental reason why Thousand Jin's combat power was so overpowered.

The law of strength governed slaughter, while the law of devouring provided sustainability.

It was absolutely impossible to wear Thousand Jin down through a war of attrition.

During the battle, Thousand Jin could devour the Insect Kings' origins, keeping himself in a peak state for a thousand, ten thousand, a million... hundreds of millions of years.

A sharp voice rang out across the battlefield.

"Hurry, break the blockade and slaughter all the humans!"

The eyes of the ten Insect Kings turned blood-red; their consciousnesses were erased by the Zerg Queen, turning them into ten completely mindless, powerful puppets.

They no longer feared death, launching charge after charge toward Thousand Jin.

The great battle lasted for three days and three nights.

The ten Insect Kings did not know how many times they had been slaughtered; their origins were being consumed at a rapid rate, catching up to the consumption of the previous several hundred years.

Hmph!

Thousand Jin felt a sharp pain in his back; he had been ambushed and stabbed by a Shadow Insect King.

He backhanded the Shadow Insect King, shattering it into pieces, and absorbed its origin energy to recover quickly.

This was the first time he had been injured in nearly a hundred years.

"These bugs want to drag me down with them..."

"Then come! Fight!"

Thousand Jin no longer held back; the True Spirit Dharma Idol suddenly grew taller by a small margin, exceeding ten light-years.

In the void, the Zerg Queen's sharp voice rang out again: "Thousand Jin, you actually hid your strength! Damn you!"

Thousand Jin sneered.

"Bugs are ultimately just bugs. Although I haven't had the chance to break through in these hundreds of millions of years, I haven't lacked in absorbing your origin energy, and I have already touched the threshold of the Universe Master level."

"Unless you appear in person, these ten bugs alone are no match for me."

The Zerg Queen immediately fell silent.

It was not that it hadn't tried before.

But that experience where it almost perished left it with an indelible psychological shadow regarding Thousand Jin.

The battle did not cease, and the mindless Insect Kings launched death charges against Thousand Jin again and again.

Another three days passed, and several wounds that could not heal quickly appeared on Thousand Jin's body.

Opposite him, the bodies of the ten top Zerg combatants had shrunk by a small margin.

A blood-red light appeared on the bodies of the ten Insect Kings, restoring them to their peak state once again.

A trace of solemnity flashed in Thousand Jin's eyes.

This was a war of attrition against the Zerg Queen; although dragging it out was beneficial to the human faction, it was not entirely impossible for things to go wrong.

Thousand Jin accelerated his recovery, but under the relentless, cost-ignoring bombardment of the ten Insect Kings, the wounds on his body were becoming more numerous and more severe.

"Your cultivation realm has fallen."

Thousand Jin suddenly said coldly.

The Zerg Queen's roar echoed through the Abyss.

"So what? As long as I can exterminate you humans, what does it matter if I drop another level?"

Thousand Jin snorted coldly and said no more.

Ten days later.

A large hole appeared in Thousand Jin's chest; this was the masterpiece of the Shadow Insect King.

He slapped the Shadow Insect King to death, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The fluctuations of the space blockade became extremely unstable, and a small gap tore open.

The Shadow Insect King had just regenerated when it rushed toward the gap, its figure flashing as it successfully broke through the blockade.

The Zerg Queen laughed sharply: "You have lost!"

Thousand Jin clutched his chest, his flesh regenerating, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Is that so?"

The Shadow Insect King that had broken through the blockade wore a twisted smile, looking at Thousand Jin with triumph, but unexpectedly, a spatial slash suddenly descended, severing its head.

The person who arrived was He Ming.

He held the imperial seal of china in his hand, and the golden dragon of fortune surged out, entangling the Shadow Insect King's body.

The Zerg Queen roared: "Brat, you are just a newly promoted Cosmic Venerable; what gives you the right to challenge me!"

"Noisy."

Venerable Bai Hua stepped out of a spatial rift and offered up the taiji diagram, suppressing the Shadow Insect King.

"Indeed, noisy."

Venerable Chi Tian's six paths of reincarnation disk crushed down, smashing onto the Shadow Insect King's freshly regenerated head, once again pulverizing it into pulp.

Under the illumination of the nine-colored light of reincarnation, the Shadow Insect King's body was shrinking rapidly.

He Ming moved his mind, slicing the Shadow Insect King's body in two, and the golden dragon of fortune roared, pulling half of the body into the inner universe.

The Shadow Insect King lost its upper body, but with a flash of blood light, it recovered again.

The Zerg Queen's origin energy poured madly into the Shadow Insect King's body, resisting the regressive power of the Reincarnation Law.

He Ming sneered, happily accepting the Shadow Insect King's body.

As soon as it recovered, he sliced off half its body again and pulled it into the inner universe, continuously storing the pure nine-colored Star Power.
