The Lord of Reincarnation let out a cold snort.
"This divine ability can only be mastered by the one who wields reincarnation, so you shouldn't even think about it."
Lin Rong didn't dwell on this topic any further.
With the guidance of the Lord of Reincarnation's reincarnation divine ability, they eventually arrived in a void.
To the naked eye, this place appeared to be nothing but emptiness, as if devoid of anything.
However, when Lin Rong used his divine eye, the void before him was not as it seemed. He could see that it was enveloped by a massive restriction.
Threads of power intertwined, obscuring the area before them.
"It's a bit like a spiderweb!" Lin Rong muttered.
The Lord of Reincarnation said, "These insects are hiding here. What do you plan to do?"
Instinctively, the Lord of Reincarnation had already taken out the Book of Life and Death. Although its primary function was not combat, it was still much stronger than her own attacks.
"Move aside, I'll break through the restriction," Lin Rong said.
The Lord of Reincarnation worriedly asked, "This restriction is very powerful. Can you do it?"
Being questioned about his ability, Lin Rong's old face stretched, and his cheeks puffed out as he said, "Watch closely."
With that, Lin Rong raised his hand and formed a fist seal.
Boom!
A punch was thrown.
*Bang!*
The spiderweb didn't even budge.
Lin Rong's face turned red. "I only used one percent of my strength. Let me go all out!"
With that, he took a deep breath and used thirty percent of his strength.
The Lord of Reincarnation initially thought he couldn't do it, but the next moment, her mouth fell open.
This punch was stronger than any punch she had ever seen from Yama.
Rumble!
With a loud crack!
The barrier shattered with a roar.
Looking at the shattered barrier, Lin Rong let out a sigh of relief.
His thirty percent strength was greater than the force he had used when killing the insects of the Hunyuan realm. If he couldn't even break through this barrier, he would have truly lost face.
Fortunately, this spiderweb barrier wasn't that tough, and he broke through it with ease.
The Lord of Reincarnation was astonished. "You... you're already in the Hunyuan realm?"
That punch had shown her a power even stronger than the Hunyuan realm.
Such strength was no weaker than Yama's in his prime, and possibly even stronger.
Lin Rong shook his head, not answering her.
The Lord of Reincarnation, being tactful, didn't press further.
Suddenly.
An unforeseen event occurred.
*Squeak squeak squeak~~*
*Buzz buzz buzz~~*
The shattering of the barrier caused countless insects to swarm out.
The sheer number of them made Lin Rong gasp.
But then, his heart leaped with joy.
Because he immediately spotted more than ten insect nests.
He wondered if killing these more than ten insect nests would allow his main body to break through his current realm.
He secretly rejoiced and was already eager to act.
"Human, and you, a being from the underworld, how dare you provoke us!"
Hundreds of humanoid insects, at the peak of the Da Luo realm, flew out from the insect nests.
Lin Rong's mouth twitched.
Why did these insects all speak in the same manner?
Lin Rong disdained to converse with them, raising his fist and striking.
For this punch, he used five percent of his strength.
Rumble!
In the next moment, the sky was clear.
All the insects vanished in an instant.
Looking at his spoils of war, he was about to laugh when he suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Ah, I forgot to leave some insect nests!"
"A mistake!"
His punch had killed all the insects, including the insect nests.
At this moment.
Lin Rong was filled with remorse, but the Lord of Reincarnation was dumbfounded.
She blinked dozens of times, confirming that she hadn't seen incorrectly.
"You... you still say you're not in the Hunyuan realm?"
"Indeed, I am not!"
After saying this, Lin Rong ignored her and walked directly into the area.
Although he had annihilated all the insects, he couldn't rule out the possibility of some things surviving.
He searched around but found nothing.
"It seems the insects here are all ants. We need to find those insects of the Hunyuan realm."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Reincarnation's heart skipped a beat.
Those were beings in the Hunyuan realm, yet he spoke as if they were creatures that could be killed at any moment.
This was too outrageous!
Although she suspected Lin Rong was in the Hunyuan realm, she also found it hard to believe, as there were no more vacant spots for True Spirits to anchor in this domain.
Without the ability for True Spirits to anchor in the void, they couldn't break through to the Hunyuan realm.
"Please, fellow Daoist, continue to use your reincarnation divine ability to search for other insect nests!"
Even after destroying these more than ten insect nests, he still hadn't accumulated enough upgrade points, Lin Rong sighed.
The Lord of Reincarnation nodded, said nothing, and continued to use her divine ability.
Then.
With the Lord of Reincarnation's divine ability, their speed in finding insect nests became much faster.
Soon, the second gathering place of the insect race was also reduced to dust by his punch. However, this time, he deliberately held back some strength and did not destroy the insect nest.
Quickly, he obtained the insect nest and placed it in his small world, waiting for Lin Wu to research its uses before taking it out.
Afterward, they went on to destroy a third insect nest.
..........
Meanwhile.
On the other side.
The Insect Domain.
This was a domain extremely far from the Nine Ring Domain, vast beyond compare, far surpassing other domains.
If one looked closely, they would notice that this domain was covered with various wormholes. There were also many voids in this domain, but each void was at least hundreds of times larger than the voids of Blue Star.
The numerous wormholes made the entire Insect Domain appear prosperous and bustling.
In and out of every wormhole, insects came and went.
At this moment, a heavily damaged insect emerged from one of the wormholes.
As soon as it came out, it flew towards a massive world.
The Extreme Flame Insect Realm.
This was one of the eighteen insect realms within the Insect Domain, ruled by an insect ancestor of the Hunyuan realm from the Insect Domain.
This insect ancestor was a rising star and the realm master of the eighteenth great realm.
Every few years, a martial arts competition was held in the Insect Domain, and the victor would open a new insect realm. However, the conditions were extremely harsh, and over countless years, only eighteen insect ancestors had managed to become realm masters.
Therefore, in the Insect Domain, there were only eighteen insect ancestors on the surface, but in reality, there could be as many as tens of thousands of insect ancestors.
The blue insect ancestor that Lin Rong had killed was not among the eighteen great insect ancestors, and its strength was far inferior to theirs.
At this moment, the ruler of this eighteenth great realm, the Extreme Flame Insect Realm, the Extreme Flame Insect Ancestor, was listening to the report from the insect below.
"You say that the Nine Ring Domain has appeared with a Hunyuan realm again?" it frowned.
"My Lord, that person is the culprit who killed the Blue Insect Ancestor!"
As soon as the words fell, the Extreme Flame Insect Ancestor could no longer sit still.
Even for the Insect Domain, a single insect ancestor of the Hunyuan realm was extremely rare.
The death of an insect ancestor had caused a great stir in the Insect Domain. However, due to the vast distance, the culprit could not be traced, and only on-site investigations could be conducted, thus failing to identify the killer.
Now, the truth was revealed.
