221: Chapter 221: Beating
The Bug King flew ten thousand meters high into the air, its twelve insect wings fully spread out.
It raised its head, and the crown-like tentacles on top of its head, symbolizing royal authority, unfurled, sending out a Mental Energy fluctuation that pierced through the Void Realm.
Forty thousand Dominator Bugs, exceeding ten meters in size and with tentacles on their heads, simultaneously stepped out of the Divine Domain passage.
These forty thousand elite troops completed their life evolution during a thousand years of reproduction within the Divine Domain.
Among them, as many as twelve thousand stepped into the Transcendent Tier.
They dispersed around the Divine Domain passage, their Mental Energy connecting and networking with the Bug King's spiritual core.
Hum—!
An invisible yet mountain-heavy gray Mental Energy sky-net, centered on the passage, spread infinitely in all directions.
One hundred thousand kilometers, five hundred thousand kilometers, two million kilometers...
The battlefield was too vast; the Bug King alone could not look after every corner.
But these forty thousand Dominator Bugs formed the most rigorous relay nodes.
The entire Demonic Cultivator Divine Domain, every skyscraper, every spiritual energy viaduct, every underground air-raid shelter.
All were incorporated into the real-time monitoring of this Mental Energy sky-net.
The Tyrant Demons, who were originally rampaging on the ground, paused in their movements.
The Tyrant received the three-dimensional real-time map transmitted by the Bug King in its mind.
On the map, the energy reactions of all enemy Epic Tier powerhouses were marked as crimson light spots.
The Tyrant cracked its large mouth, its eight arms slapping its chest, letting out a hearty, booming roar.
It no longer blindly smashed the buildings along the way, leading the tens of millions of Tyrant Demons under its command straight to the group headquarters where a large number of high-tier demonic cultivators gathered.
The Fire Spirit army similarly received the approximate firepower coverage coordinates.
Over fifty million Fire Spirits rapidly changed Formations in the air, forming thirty-eight red and blue fire rings, arriving directly above the spiritual energy power stations in major cities.
The Sea and Sky Tribes were assigned to the outer defense line.
The Mutated Magic Vulture blockaded the ten-thousand-meter high altitude.
The skeletal giant whale and Liquid Metal Crab cut off all subway networks and sewage pipelines, completely severing the enemy's escape routes.
The chaotic and disordered slaughter, within a mere three breaths, transformed into a precise assembly-line harvest.
Within the Divine Domain passage, the Zerg's true main force began to gush outward.
As the most numerous race under Lin Yuan's command, the Zerg occupied well over half of the military force.
Hundreds of millions of insect swarms emerged from thirty-six passage openings, and the dark, oppressive wave rapidly filled every street of this modern metropolis.
At the very front were the Formless Source Insects that had completed four adaptations.
These dark crimson monsters, only about five meters in size, were covered all over their bodies with a layer of translucent crystal carapace.
Beneath the carapace, dark grayish karmic fire and freezing ice-blue poisonous mist alternated in flow, and the wings behind them presented a void-like pitch-black texture.
They were the ultimate weapons of slaughter bred after the Zerg broodmother fused with Fire Spirits, Mutated Magic Vultures, Bone Fish, and Liquid Metal Crabs.
After absorbing the powers of the Sea and Sky Tribes and Fire Spirits, this group of Transcendent Tier source insects had long since surpassed their predecessors.
The instant millions of Formless Source Insects stepped onto the battlefield, their figures simultaneously disappeared in place.
Void Shadow Lurker!
The next moment, several thousand miles away, above a hundred-story twin tower named "Tiansha Blood Enterprise Group", space split open.
Tens of thousands of Formless Source Insects drilled out of the nothingness, appearing directly outside the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the group.
"Enemy attack! Activate the Blood Fiend Demonic Energy shield!"
The chairman of Tiansha Group was an Epic Three-Star demonic cultivator powerhouse.
He wore a custom-made suit, holding a glass of red wine brewed from the heart blood of young boys in his hand, and roared sternly.
Behind him, seven Epic Tier board members wearing professional attire simultaneously injected their essence blood into the array core at the center of the conference table.
The entire twin tower raised a blood-colored light barrier up to a thousand meters thick.
The Formless Source Insects rushing at the very front did not have the slightest pausing action.
The dark crimson carapaces on their bodies lit up, and the Extreme Heavy Water Realm and gravity deflection were activated simultaneously.
Hum!
The gravity within a radius of a hundred miles violently surged by twenty thousand times out of thin air.
The bone wings behind the Formless Source Insects fluttered accordingly, and a sky full of dark grayish karmic fire mixed with piercingly cold poisonous mist erupted.
Two completely opposite forces fiercely counter-charged on the surface of the Formation, directly triggering a massive annihilation explosion.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The blood-colored light barrier shattered on the spot into a sky full of light spots.
"What the hell is this thing? Transcendent Tier tearing apart an Epic-level composite Formation?!"
The chairman's eye sockets split with fury, he violently tore off his tie, and sacrificed a white-bone Gatling gun refined from the souls of one million living people.
The gun barrels rotated, and a sky-darkening barrage of blood fiend bullets swept towards the insect swarm.
Countless tiny pores split open on the body surfaces of the Formless Source Insects.
Hum hum hum!
Densely packed symbiotic flies gushed out from the pores.
These micro-creatures, only the size of a fingernail, similarly carried miniature versions of karmic fire and Void Realm power on their bodies.
They turned into a black-and-red storm, crashing head-on into those blood fiend bullets.
Biting, devouring, assimilation!
These bullets compressed from living souls became the most delicious nourishment in front of the symbiotic flies, being completely gnawed away in a mere two seconds.
Along with the white-bone Gatling gun in the chairman's hand, it was also attached by the symbiotic flies, and the gun barrel rapidly melted.
Before the chairman had time to throw away the scrap iron, a Formless Source Insect crossed space and appeared above his head.
The source insect's front limbs instantly mutated into two bone blades burning with dark grayish karmic fire.
The surface of the bone blades carried the flowing gold hardened layer of the Violent Demon Clan.
Pfft!
The bone blades tore through the air, and the bulletproof blood Qi shield on the chairman's body surface lasted for less than half a second before his entire person was split in half from head to toe.
His Primordial Spirit carrying the Golden Core just wanted to escape into the Void Realm when the spatial stomach pouch on the abdomen of the Formless Source Insect opened.
A tyrannical suction force came, directly swallowing his corpse along with his Primordial Spirit into its belly in one gulp.
From breaking the Formation to killing an Epic Three-Star group leader, the entire process took less than ten seconds.
The single-combat capability displayed by the Formless Source Insects was even more comprehensive and bizarre than the Tyrant Demons.
The remaining seven Epic Tier board members were scared out of their wits, each executing blood escape arts to flee frantically.
Some smashed through glass to jump into the air, and some dived into the dedicated escape elevators.
Several Void Realm ripples flashed past.
The fleeing seven board members were overtaken, the bone blades slashed down, and their corpses were all stuffed into the spatial stomach pouch.
The hundreds of thousands of Transcendent Tier and Diamond Tier employees remaining inside the group building.
In front of the subsequently flooding Mad Sickle Shadow Blade Beetles and Nether-Uranium Heavy Armor Beetles, they gradually degraded into lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Similar scenes played out in turns in every corner of the Divine Domain.
Above the high altitude, Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking all living beings.
His Mental Energy pierced through the strata, searching for the faint fluctuations where Blood Crow might be hiding while scrutinizing this collapsing demonic cultivator civilization.
The flaws of this demonic cultivator civilization were even more fatal than he had anticipated.
These demonic cultivators and evil cultivators under Blood Crow's command were indeed numerous in quantity; not to mention the Epic Tier, the quantity of Transcendent Tier combat power was dozens of times that of Lin Yuan's subordinates.
But the essence of this bunch of guys was a mob of extremely selfish people.
When Blood Crow was present, divine coercion shrouded the entire domain, and they could still barely form arrays to resist the enemy driven by fear.
Now Blood Crow's Physical Body had self-detonated, its Divine Soul had escaped, and the divine aura had disappeared.
The deeply rooted bad traits in the bones of this group of demonic cultivators immediately erupted.
Inside a giant underground spiritual energy high-speed rail station in the extreme west.
Tens of thousands of evil cultivators crowded onto the platform, getting into a fierce brawl to fight for the last escape train heading to the edge of the Divine Domain.
"Get lost! This carriage has been requisitioned by our Blackwater Security Company!"
A Transcendent Tier security leader wielded a long blade, chopping the dozen or so Loose Cultivators blocking his way into a mash of flesh.
"Bullshit! Let's all die together!"
An evil cultivator of Diamond Tier who had been squeezed off the platform frantically detonated the high-energy poison gas bomb on his body.
The green poison fog spread within the enclosed underground space.
Demonic cultivators with slightly weaker cultivation inhaled the poison gas, their entire bodies grew pustules, and screaming, they turned into a puddle of bloody water.
The crowd began to lose control.
Various Spells, Magic Treasures, and modern firearms bombed randomly in the narrow space.
Before the train had even started, more than half of the demonic cultivators on the platform had already died.
Just as they were killing each other over a few seats until rivers of blood flowed, the ceiling suddenly collapsed.
Thousands of Liquid Metal Crabs drilled out of the mud, brandishing huge pincers.
They snipped that exorbitantly expensive spiritual energy train along with the demonic cultivators inside into several pieces, shoving them into their mouths to chew heavily.
Another floating commercial center built mid-air.
The person in charge of the commercial center, a top-tier demonic cultivator of Epic Five-Star.
Was leading a few trusted aides toward the private shuttle landing pad on the top floor.
"Boss, the defense Formation below is about to fail, those monsters have already rushed into the shopping mall!"
A trusted aide reported anxiously.
The person in charge sneered, with a backhand strike slapped the trusted aide's head to pieces, and snatched the top-grade spirit-storage ring on the other party's body.
"A bunch of trash, you can't even buy time."
He stepped into the shuttle and started the engine.
The exact moment the shuttle lifted off, more than a dozen Mutated Magic Vultures swooped down from the clouds.
The thunder breath precisely hit the shuttle's engine, and the violent explosion blew this Epic Five-Star powerhouse out of the cabin.
Before he could steady his body shape, a few Formless Source Insects flashed to his side, using all four limbs to alive-dismember him mid-air.
As for those Vicious Beasts kept in captivity in the wilderness reserves, after losing suppression, they went berserk one after another.
Swarms of Purgatory Skeleton Hounds did not go to attack the invading Zerg, but instead turned around and charged into nearby Mortal towns.
They smashed the glass of high-rise buildings, biting and devouring the flesh and blood of those completely defenceless Mortals, attempting to have a hearty meal before dying.
Several Epic Tier Six-Armed Blood-Striped Apes directly turned on the bio-gene company that raised them.
They smashed the culture dishes, tearing the researchers and executives in the company to pieces and swallowing them alive.
Killing each other, fleeing before battle, backstabbing fellow disciples, seizing resources.
The entire Divine Domain did not require Lin Yuan's dependents to attack one by one; the demonic cultivators themselves tore the defense line into a riddled mess.
"It seems the civilization System of this Divine Domain is not as shameless as I imagined." Lin Yuan shook his head.
A civilization that regarded selfishness as its survival Law might display extremely strong predatory traits during a winning game.
Once falling into a losing game, this kind of System would disintegrate in an instant.
Even if Lin Yuan's dependents were at a disadvantage in tier, they possessed absolute obedience, a fanatical will that did not fear life or death, and precise coordination under the Bug King's overall planning.
In front of the over one billion fearless natural disaster army, this group of demonic cultivators fighting individually and scheming against each other
Even if they possessed countless Epic Tiers, they could only be cleared out one by one like stray dogs.
The hard strength of being invincible in the same tier and killing across tiers, coupled with the internal collapse of the enemy, doomed the outcome of this invasion from the very beginning.
The speed of the army's advancement grew faster and faster.
Over one billion dependents transformed into the most thorough scavengers.
The spatial stomach pouches inside their bodies seemed as though they could never be filled.
Skyscrapers were pushed down by Tyrant Demons, and the Spirit Stone array bases inside the load-bearing pillars were dug out and swallowed by Worker Insects.
The blood banks of modern hospitals and the warehouses of pharmaceutical factories were completely swept clean by the insect swarm.
The corpses of fallen demonic cultivators and the Qi and blood of Vicious Beasts were completely devoured and cleaned up.
Even the asphalt roads polluted by Devilish Qi, the reinforced concrete of viaducts, the spirit energy fiber optic cables laid underground...
Were all chewed to pieces by Liquid Metal Crabs and Nether-Uranium Heavy Armor Beetles and swallowed into their bellies, stored in spatial stomach pouches to be slowly digested later.
Wherever the army passed, the prosperous modern demonic cultivator metropolis vanished into nothingness.
What was left was only a bare rocky surface, with the ground layer scraped away by a full three feet.
The entire Divine Domain's ecosystem was heading towards collapse and extinction at a speed visible to the naked eye.
