110: Chapter 110: A Full-Map Chase Through the Insect Swarm? The Divine Art of Withering and Flourishing Mark

Silence. A deathly silence.

The surface of the swamp stopped bubbling.

The acrid, rotten smell permeating the air seemed to solidify at this moment.

The next second.

A piercing screech echoed across the gray sky.

The bone-like nest, towering tens of thousands of meters ahead, trembled.

From the holes on the surface of the nest, a black torrent that blotted out the sky erupted.

At the same time, the fleshy mucous membranes around Lin Yuan began to squirm.

The adult Bone Locusts of Silver and Gold Tier wandering on the periphery all turned in unison.

Their scarlet compound eyes all locked onto that position on the edge of the muddy swamp.

Pain Link activated.

The coordinates of the dead larva became the focus of fire for the entire Zerg race of this plane.

Lin Yuan did not panic.

His gaze turned cold, and the Divine Power within his body circulated at high speed.

The infiltration plan was declared a failure; now, only one path remained.

Breakout.

He exerted force with his feet, and the mud exploded.

His entire body transformed into a gray-black afterimage, speeding toward the direction he had come from.

[Wither-Bloom Mark] fully activated.

Death Qi enveloped his form.

He wove through the gaps in the encircling swarm.

But it was useless.

The swarm's mental network had already locked onto the scent of the larval body fluids he was stained with.

The swarms from all directions didn't even look at where he was; they threw themselves at him one after another.

In a depression not far away.

The four members of the sophomore team lay in a hidden Formation, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Chen Feng stared at the terminal radar, cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

On the radar screen, the red dots representing the Zerg had connected into a death-omen-like blood red, surging toward this side.

"Captain, that kid has caused a huge mess." The Short-haired Senior Sister's face was pale, her fingers trembling on the keyboard.

"The swarm is in a full-scale riot; the elite insect guards from the nest have all come out."

The Lanky swallowed, his voice trembling: "He's been locked on. He's running toward the periphery."

"Captain, if he leads the bugs to our side, our Formation won't be able to withstand an impact of this magnitude!"

"Prepare for battle." Chen Feng gritted his teeth and issued the order.

"If that kid can't hold out and runs toward us, focus fire and kill him immediately. We absolutely cannot let him lead the bugs into the range of the Formation!"

At Starry Sky University, such incidents of shifting blame and using others as scapegoats were all too common.

Everyone was unrelated; at the moment of life and death, who cared if you were a fellow student?

If that freshman couldn't withstand the pressure of the swarm and ran in their direction, their team would definitely be dragged into it.

The Lanky and another male member simultaneously drew their weapons, Divine Power circulating within their bodies, staring fixedly ahead.

1,500 meters.

1,200 meters.

1,100 meters.

Just as the light dot was about to step into the warning line, the trajectory on the radar suddenly made a sharp turn.

Lin Yuan had changed direction.

He cut diagonally along a dangerous rift filled with sharp bone spurs, avoiding the depression where the sophomore team was located.

Chen Feng was stunned.

The Short-haired Senior Sister looked at the radar and let out a long breath: "He went around. He didn't lead the monsters to our side."

The Lanky wiped the cold sweat from his face, his expression complex: "This freshman... is actually a pretty good guy."

"If it were anyone else, being chased by a swarm, they would definitely run around blindly, looking for someone to use as a scapegoat."

Chen Feng was silent for a moment, a trace of respect flashing in his eyes.

"In a hellhole like Starry Sky University, there's actually such a principled freshman."

Chen Feng said in a low voice, "It's a pity; the rift he chose is a dead end. The swarm will trap him inside."

In the rift.

Lin Yuan had no idea that he had inadvertently received "nice guy cards" from several seniors.

He had changed direction only because the terrain of that rift was better suited for restricting the spread of the swarm.

The road ahead was blocked.

Hundreds of Gold Tier Bone Locusts, over ten meters in body length, waved their serrated forelimbs, blocking his path.

Behind him, thousands of flying insects were diving down.

He couldn't escape.

Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks.

He looked up, a deep phantom of the starry sky emerging in his pupils, the white light at the center flaring brightly.

Since he couldn't escape, he would fight.

He wanted to personally test, after the Fusion of the [End and Origin] Divine Godhead Fragment.

Just what level his strength had reached.

Lin Yuan pulled his right arm back, his five fingers clenching into a fist.

The Divine Fire in the center of his Sea of Consciousness erupted, and dark golden flames surged into his right arm.

Mysterious, unfathomable light flowed along the edges of the flames.

Law of Destruction.

Without any superfluous movements, Lin Yuan punched toward the swarm directly in front of him.

Where the fist passed, a translucent ripple expanded outward.

The Gold Tier Bone Locusts that came into contact with the ripple didn't even have time to screech.

Their hard gray bone armor instantly vanished into dust, and their flesh dissolved under the power of destruction.

One punch cleared a fan-shaped area of one hundred meters in front of him.

But Lin Yuan frowned.

The moment those Bone Locusts died, the glands within their bodies exploded in unison.

Pop, pop, pop.

Dense Void Realm shockwaves stacked together.

Lin Yuan felt the surrounding air become incredibly viscous.

It was as if his whole body had been sealed inside concrete that was solidifying.

Every time he raised his hand, every time he took a step.

He needed to consume more Divine Power than usual to resist the spatial resistance.

"This is what the stall owner meant by spatial lockdown." Lin Yuan's gaze was cold and stern.

The Zerg filled the gaps at an extremely fast speed.

The front row had just died, and the back row was already trampling over their companions' ashes to rush up.

Swoosh!

A sound of breaking through the air attacked him.

Two dark purple afterimages struck from his blind spot on the rear flank.

They were two slightly smaller insect guards, but their carapaces were dark purple, and they were Platinum Tier.

Their speed was completely unaffected by the Void Realm tremors, and their sickle-like forelimbs aimed directly for the back of Lin Yuan's neck.

Lin Yuan did not dodge, nor did he summon his familiars to block.

He turned directly and raised his left arm to block.

Clang!

A teeth-grinding metallic clang echoed in the rift.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The full-force strike of a Platinum Tier insect guard, capable of cutting through mid-tier defensive Formations, slashed onto Lin Yuan's bare arm.

The result was that not even a white mark was left behind.

His Physical Body, at the fourth turn of a demigod, had been reshaped by the [End and Origin] Law.

Its sturdiness was far beyond the comprehension of these bugs.

A trace of human-like astonishment flashed in the compound eyes of the two insect guards.

Lin Yuan did not give them time to react.

He reached out with both hands and grabbed the heads of the two insect guards.

SSS-level Talent, [Creation Extraction].

Dark golden chains of order erupted from his palms, piercing into the bodies of the insect guards.

"Extract."

Two glowing conceptual entries were forcibly dragged out.

The insect guards' bodies lost all support and turned into powder.

Lin Yuan glanced at the entries in his hand.

[Regeneration], [Bloodlust].

Trash entries.

They didn't have the [Swarm Sovereign] or [Bloodline Suppression] he wanted.

He crushed the entries casually.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and the Death Qi around him surged violently.

Divine Art, [Wither-Bloom Mark] — Wither!

Gray-black ripples radiated from him as the center, spreading in all directions.

The ripples swept across.

The swarms that rushed up were like withered wood that had been drained of its moisture.
