“Screech…”
In an instant, those gigantic, hideous insects emitted a spine-chilling sound.
The disciples of Ling Tian Sect looked around at the terrifying creatures, trembling with fear. They were terrified.
Those cultivators who had ascended from the lower realms had stronger mental fortitude compared to the native Ling race, but even so, witnessing the current situation, their hearts began to tighten with anxiety.
These horrifying insects regarded the Ling race like prey, their sticky saliva dripping from their grotesque, gaping mouths.
Ling Tian Zi immediately stepped forward, shielding his disciples behind him. “Insect race… insect race.”
With his head bowed, Ling Tian Zi laughed bitterly. “All Ling Tian Sect disciples, listen to my command. Today, we fight these insects to the death.”
“Yes!”
Though some of the disciples were frightened, at this moment, each one stood tall and proud, showing no fear.
“Screech! You pitiful Ling insects, today we will devour you all and savor once again how delicious the Ling race truly is.”
The insect ancestor took a step forward. In its eyes, these Ling beings were mere ants, nothing more than food to fill its stomach.
Rip!
In an instant, the insect ancestor opened its enormous mouth. Its originally small body rapidly expanded, and green, unidentifiable liquid spewed from its body.
One after another, long, writhing tentacles extended from its body, swinging wildly through the air.
In the blink of an eye, a gigantic insect ancestor appeared, many times larger than before. Its hideous, monstrous mouth was filled with sharp teeth, as if it could crush anything into pieces with a single bite.
“Swish!”
Seeing this terrifying form, the Ling Tian Sect disciples instinctively stepped back, their eyes filled with fear.
Some disciples were so frightened their limbs trembled, barely able to hold their weapons steady.
Even worse, some collapsed to the ground, their faces twisted with terror.
Before this monstrous creature, they were terrified—more so than when facing the ancient race.
Although the ancient race was also hideous, they weren’t nearly as grotesque as this.
These insects, however, were not only hideous but also terrifying, resembling devils.
“Master…”
At that moment, Ling Wu Wei’s voice echoed from the distance.
Upon hearing it, Ling Tian Zi’s expression immediately changed. “Quickly, escape!”
Ling Tian Zi’s heart raced. Hadn’t he ordered them to leave? Why were they returning now?
“Run!” Ling Tian Zi screamed hoarsely.
“Screech! Another group of Ling insects. Since you’ve come, don’t bother leaving.” The insect ancestor gazed toward the distant Ling beings, a sinister smile spreading across its face. It waved its tentacles, and then, a series of dark beams pierced through the void, rushing toward Ling Wu Wei.
Ling Tian Zi’s heart pounded as he helplessly watched the scene unfold—he was powerless to intervene at this moment.
“Could these be the insect race?”
Lin Fan, who had led Ling Wu Wei and others back, looked at these monstrous creatures and recalled something from ancient records.
In the scriptures of Yun Sect, Lin Fan had read about them.
The insect race was one of the great races of the multiverse, but also one of the most brutal.
They consumed other races and assimilated their genetic traits into their own.
Every time the Ten Thousand Realms opened, the insect race was always the first to break through the barriers of their own realm, devouring beings from countless worlds.
They were essentially the enforcers of the ancient race.
However, the insect race did not truly serve the ancient race. Rather, the two merely exploited each other.
“What an interesting race. I should dissect one later for thorough research.” When Lin Fan saw the insect race, his thirst for knowledge surged.
He had always hesitated to dissect beings from the great worlds, but when it came to these insects, he felt boundless excitement.
What could these giant bugs be used for?
Perhaps roasted, or dissected for study.
“Big bug, big bro, there’s a big bug!” Chick, standing on Lin Fan’s shoulder, gleamed with excitement in his eyes as he saw the insect race, clearly thrilled.
Just then, the dark beams arrived—these were the insect ancestor’s tentacles.
“Attacking right away is a bit too rough,” Lin Fan said calmly with a faint smile. He raised his hand and forcefully suppressed the attack.
Boom!
Boom!
“Ahhh!” The insect ancestor screamed in pain as its tentacles shattered, green blood spraying across the sky.
“Who are you?!” The insect ancestor’s expression turned serious, showing deep caution.
It never expected that there would be a being so powerful—it was simply unbelievable.
Ling Tian Zi had thought his disciples were doomed to be slaughtered by the insect ancestor, but unexpectedly, one among them was so powerful that he completely suppressed the insect ancestor’s assault.
“Big bro, I can’t hold back anymore. Big bugs, so many big bugs!”
Suddenly, Chick leaped from Lin Fan’s shoulder.
“Ooooo!”
With a loud cry, a brilliant light erupted from Chick’s body.
The radiant light illuminated the heavens and earth, and Chick’s form began to undergo a tremendous transformation.
Ooooo!
Several colorful tail feathers sprouted and fluttered in the wind, and Chick’s body rapidly expanded, growing even larger than the insect race.
When the light faded, a colossal Chick stood before Lin Fan.
Its massive feet stood firmly on the ground like pillars supporting the sky.
Its head was held high, its sharp beak poised, and its crimson comb swayed gently in the breeze.
Ooooo!
At this moment, Chick went wild. The once gentle eyes now burned with madness.
“Damn, this is actually a chicken feasting on bugs.”
Lin Fan was momentarily stunned by Chick’s transformation—he hadn’t expected such a sight.
Chick stomped one insect underfoot, then began pecking at it rapidly with its sharp beak, like a pile driver.
In an instant, the insect that had seemed so powerful to the Ling Tian Sect was reduced to a bloody mess.
Chick raised its head and swallowed the insect whole.
“Tasty! So delicious!”
At that moment, Chick’s face was filled with blissful satisfaction.
The insect ancestor, witnessing this, roared furiously, its expression filled with shock.
“The natural enemy of the insect race? How is this possible…”
To the insect ancestor, the insect race was the supreme race across all worlds, a lifeform above all others.
Yet now, it had found its natural enemy.
Some insects facing Chick lost their ferocity completely, retreating in fear, as if terrified.
The Ling Tian Sect disciples watched in stunned silence. The terrifying insect race they had feared so much was now being effortlessly decimated by this strange, monstrous chicken.
One peck at a time, the insects offered no resistance at all.
