The powerhouses in the void of Blue Star were stunned to witness this scene.
Two bugs of the Hunyuan Realm were killed just like that?
It was too easy.
Incredible!
Lin Rong's immense power injected a shot of adrenaline into all living beings.
"As expected of Lord Lin Rong, his power is too great!"
"With Lord Lin Rong here, what do we have to fear?"
"Even if five more Insect Ancestors came, we wouldn't be afraid."
"........"
The masses discussed animatedly, their hearts finally at ease.
Suddenly.
An unforeseen event occurred.
Outside the void, seven powerful auras slowly approached.
Sensing these auras, all living beings revealed looks of astonishment.
"Who said they weren't afraid of five more coming?"
"Seven are here!"
Boom!
Seven Insect Ancestors descended, their hearts filled with suspicion.
One Sword Bug Ancestor said, "Something is wrong. Their auras disappeared right here."
Another White-Eyebrow Bug Ancestor sighed, "No need to search, they are dead!"
Death was not too terrifying for them, as they would revive after tens of thousands or millions of years.
However, dying so easily filled all the Insect Ancestors with surprise.
Dead?
They were of the Hunyuan Realm.
Moreover, two Insect Ancestors, how could they die?
Who could kill them?
Suddenly.
Lin Rong returned.
He hadn't expected that killing two Insect Ancestors would suddenly bring forth seven. However, in his eyes, seven or a hundred made little difference.
Insect Ancestors in the early Hunyuan stage posed no threat to him.
Seeing Lin Rong's figure, these Insect Ancestors noticed he was only in the Da Luo Realm and let out sneers.
Lin Rong ignored them and unleashed a punch.
Boom!
The punch was incredibly fast, shattering the bodies of the seven Insect Ancestors in an instant.
"Damn it, how can he be so strong!"
"He killed the Ruin Fire Insect Ancestor."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Rong's fist descended again.
"You can't kill us, our souls are immensely powerful!"
The next moment, with a crack, all their souls were pulverized by a single punch.
Lin Rong scoffed, "This is what you call immensely powerful? Utterly vulnerable!"
Collecting the remains of the Insect Ancestors, Lin Rong returned to Blue Star once more.
He had been back for quite some time, but the living beings hadn't recovered.
It wasn't until the next day that they slowly came to their senses, letting out exclamations of awe.
"Lord Lin Rong's power is too immense!"
"So powerful it surpasses my imagination. Could he have already reached the Hunyuan Realm?"
"He must be in the Hunyuan Realm, and furthermore, a top-tier powerhouse within the Hunyuan Realm, otherwise, his strength cannot be explained."
"......"
Listening to the discussions of the masses, Lin Rong smiled and paid no mind.
However, in the eyes of all living beings, he had already become a powerhouse within the Hunyuan Realm.
The emergence of a Hunyuan Realm existence was like a powerful stimulant, filling all living beings with confidence.
The insect race was strong, but they had Lin Rong.
After killing the invading Insect Ancestors, Lin Rong returned to Blue Star.
A group of people immediately stepped forward to offer their congratulations. Lin Rong responded to them one by one, showing no impatience.
Time flowed slowly, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.
.......
Insect Domain.
Extreme Blazing Fire Realm.
The Extreme Blazing Fire Insect Ancestor's face was ashen, as if it could drip water.
It could not comprehend why nine Insect Ancestors had gone and none had returned.
What had happened in the Nine Ring Domain to cause nine Insect Ancestors to bleed to death?
Although their true spirits were entrusted to the Insect Domain and they would revive after some years, this required time and would consume the Insect Domain's energy, affecting its growth.
"My Extreme Blazing Fire Realm was originally the youngest insect realm, with only a mere eleven Insect Ancestors. Now, ten have died, leaving me all alone."
"The situation in the Nine Rings is too bizarre. I cannot rashly venture there."
"Come, insect!"
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp!
Several humanoid insects walked in from outside.
"My lord, for what purpose have you summoned us?"
The Extreme Blazing Fire Insect Ancestor relayed the news it had just received.
"Such a thing has happened!" They were all shocked.
They could not fathom why nine Insect Ancestors would die in the Nine Ring Domain.
When did the strength of the Nine Ring Domain become so formidable?
The Extreme Blazing Fire Insect Ancestor said, "You will quickly accompany me to see the Root Insect Mother."
"Yes!"
The Root Insect Mother was the origin of all insect races.
It could be said to be the mother of all insects.
It resided not within the eighteen realms but in the Root Insect Realm, which transcended the eighteen insect realms.
........
Root Insect Realm.
As soon as they descended, they were led to a side hall.
After a long while, an insect guided them in.
"Greetings, Mother Insect!" the Extreme Blazing Fire Insect Ancestor said respectfully.
The Root Insect Mother's massive body was not present in the hall.
Only a tiny insect avatar sat on the throne.
"What is it?"
Upon hearing this, the Extreme Blazing Fire Insect Ancestor immediately recounted the news of the nine Insect Ancestors' deaths.
Back then, the death of the Blue Bug Insect Ancestor had caused quite a stir in the Insect Domain, and it had been mocked for its subordinates' weak power.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the remaining nine Insect Ancestor subordinates had all died in the Nine Ring Domain. If this news spread, it would lose all face.
However, its rage overcame its personal considerations.
The news of the nine Insect Ancestors' deaths would eventually be known. It was better to reveal it openly.
The Root Insect Mother was stunned upon hearing this.
It pondered for a moment.
"Is it the Nine Ring Domain that possesses the Demon Realm?"
"Mother Insect, it is indeed this domain."
The Root Insect Mother chuckled, "You are becoming more timid, young one. It is merely the Nine Ring Domain, why such worry?"
It had some impression of the Nine Ring Domain, but it had been destroyed in the past.
The Extreme Blazing Fire Insect Ancestor said with a wry smile, "Mother Insect, this domain likely harbored an extraterrestrial being to be able to annihilate ten of my subordinates."
"What do you propose?" the Root Insect Mother asked.
The Extreme Blazing Fire Insect Ancestor gritted its teeth, "Revenge! Destroy the Nine Ring Domain!"
The Root Insect Mother snorted, "Hmph!"
It gave a snort and said no more, leaving the Extreme Blazing Fire Insect Ancestor feeling uneasy.
"Mother Insect, you..."
The Root Insect Mother said, "You, along with the Seventeenth Realm, the Sixteenth Realm, the rulers of the three realms, and all their Insect Ancestors, will go to the Nine Ring Domain!"
"Remember, you must annihilate the Nine Ring Domain!"
As the words fell, the Extreme Blazing Fire Insect Ancestor looked bewildered.
"Mother Insect, there's no need for this. The ruler of the Seventeenth Realm accompanying me would be sufficient."
If not for its cautious nature, it felt it could have gone alone.
"There is an old human saying: even a lion must use its full strength to catch a rabbit, and to cut grass, one must remove the roots!"
"Go!"
The Extreme Blazing Fire Insect Ancestor dared not say more, nodded, and retreated.
"Your subordinate takes his leave!"
