"Beast, you seek death!"
Boom!
Lin Yun unleashed his full power, throwing a punch.
However, this punch disappeared like a stone into the sea, causing no harm to the insect.
The insect laughed, "Useless, useless!"
Suddenly, the insect raised its forelimb and gently brought it down.
This attack, which seemed to cause no damage, made Lin Yun's expression change drastically.
"Chaos Shield!" A shield appeared before him.
Crack!
The shield didn't last even a second before it was shattered into pieces.
The forelimb continued its path unabated, striking Lin Yun's shoulder.
With a tearing sound.
He was cleaved in two.
"Kid, you are too weak. I shall show mercy and allow you to become my food!"
The insect slowly walked over, already considering Lin Yun its prey.
Lin Yun's face contorted with bitterness.
Facing such a powerful demon, he was no match.
It was all his fault for endangering the main body. He blamed himself inwardly.
In the sea of consciousness.
The two exchanged a look.
Lin Yun said self-reproachfully, "Big Brother, I have harmed you!"
Lin Yu chuckled, "Who would have thought the strength of the Hunyuan realm was so immense? Not only could it detect my consciousness, but it could also seal me within your sea of consciousness."
"Big Brother, please don't say anymore. Are we going to die?"
His own death was not important; as long as the main body was alive, he could be resurrected. But if the main body died, they would lose everything.
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head, "It's not certain who will win or lose yet."
Suddenly!
"Ah~" A scream echoed.
Streams of azure light ignited on Lin Yun's body.
A compass emitting azure light flew out from within Lin Yun.
Lin Yu said, "Quick, activate the compass and break the seal!"
"Yes!"
Rumble!!!
Although Lin Yun had been cleaved in two, his strength remained.
As power was injected, the azure light shot skyward.
With a crack, the seal on his body shattered.
The insect was stunned for a moment. Looking at the compass, it exclaimed in surprise, "Hmph, this is the primordial artifact of the Ancestor of Tribulation Fortune. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands. Coincidentally, this treasure shall be mine as well."
"What does breaking the seal matter? It's merely prolonging your agony!"
The insect sneered. With a flick of its thought, a swarm of insects surged forth.
These insects possessed the ability to devour any power, and then feed that power back to the mother body.
This was the ability of their race, and the reason they hunted Hunyuan experts.
To continuously increase their strength, they captured countless experts from various domains, consumed their power, and enhanced themselves.
Up to this point, they had never encountered an opponent.
In its eyes, the youth before it naturally could not stir up any trouble.
However, in the next moment.
Its expression changed drastically. It hastily retracted its attack, but it was already too late to retreat.
Its insect swarm, accumulated over countless years, was reduced to fragments by a dazzling sword light due to its delayed withdrawal, causing it immense pain.
As the azure light dispersed, a man holding a long sword stood with his hands behind his back, looking at it coldly.
"Who are you?" it pointed at the man and said.
The man snorted, "The one who will kill you!"
"Arrogant!"
The man was none other than Lin Rong, who had transferred over using a displacement skill.
Lin Rong was a fused avatar, naturally in an integrated form, far more powerful than an ordinary avatar.
Lin Yu had never fully understood the strength of an integrated avatar. Now, facing a Hunyuan realm expert, he could finally test it.
Lin Rong let out a cold laugh.
"Arrogant or not, we'll find out. Behold my sword!"
Without a word, he thrust his sword forward in a seemingly ordinary manner, without employing any sword techniques.
Boom!
As the sword pierced forward, the void reverberated.
"Hmph, such a common sword move, and you think you can hit..."
The insect hadn't finished its sentence before one of its forelimbs was instantly severed by the sword.
It looked down at its severed forelimb, its face filled with bewilderment.
What just happened?
Why was its forelimb severed before it could even react?
Its expression shifted multiple times. After calming itself, it sneered, "Kid, I underestimated you just now. I guarantee you won't touch a single hair of mine again!"
As the words fell.
Its expression changed again.
Looking down at the sword that had severed its other forelimb, it was horrified.
What was this guy's origin?
It clearly didn't possess Hunyuan realm aura, yet its speed was so fast that it couldn't react, and its power was outrageously high, capable of damaging its body.
"Your guarantee seems useless," Lin Rong taunted with a smile.
"Damn it! I'll kill you!" Rage surged within it, and it roared, "Insect Swarm!"
Boom!
An uncountable number of insects poured out from the space behind it.
The insects formed a dense, sky-obscuring black cloud and lunged at Lin Rong.
Lin Rong snorted and lightly brought his sword down.
One sword, then another.
In an instant, it was billions of swords.
Clang! He sheathed his sword. The moment the sword was sheathed, the overwhelming insect swarm had already been chopped into mud.
Swish!
He drew his long sword again, pointing it at the insect, "Next, it's time for you to die!"
The insect was furious, but its face was filled with astonishment.
It was a Hunyuan realm expert! It was tens of millions of times stronger than the peak Da Luo Golden Immortal; there was no comparison.
Yet, an existence like itself was about to die at the hands of someone who was not in the Hunyuan realm.
Was this a joke?
"Kid, my true spirit is entrusted to the void. What does it matter if you kill me? I will revive!"
Lin Rong frowned upon hearing this.
The greatest characteristic of the Hunyuan realm was that the true spirit was entrusted to the void. As long as the void was not destroyed, one could revive endlessly.
Seeing Lin Rong's frown and hesitation, it seized the opportunity to persuade, "Spare me, and we'll be friends. I owe you a favor, and I will repay it a hundredfold in the future."
However, its true intention was to return to the Insect Domain for reinforcements after leaving this place, and then kill Lin Rong.
Lin Rong's frown relaxed upon hearing this.
Just as the insect's guard was down, he suddenly raised his sword and struck.
With a single sword strike, the insect was completely unprepared and was cleaved in two, demonstrating the formidable strength of Lin Rong.
"You are too dangerous. I can only rest easy if you are dead."
"Furthermore, even if your true spirit is entrusted to the void, it's not entrusted to the void of the Nine Rings Domain. I suspect that even if you can revive, it will take much longer. By the time you revive, I might have already destroyed your void."
He spoke casually, as if recounting a trivial matter.
The insect, upon hearing these words before its death, burst into laughter.
Lin Rong was right. Dying in a foreign domain would increase its revival time a hundredfold. By the time it revived, perhaps a million years would have passed.
At that time, how powerful would this man become?
It could no longer imagine!
But when it thought of the Insect Ancestors in the Insect Domain, it sneered. When this person arrived in the Insect Domain, he would learn that there are always greater beings beyond.
Alas, it was dead and could no longer threaten this human.
With a plop, its corpse fell to the ground.
Lin Yu walked over, frowning. "I didn't hear the system prompt. It truly didn't die."
Lin Rong said, "If it revives once, I will kill it once. Big Brother need not worry!"
Lin Yu chuckled, "When it revives, who knows how many years it will be. By then, I will be able to kill it with a flick of my hand!"
"This insect came from this place. You should go in and take a look," Lin Yu said, pointing to the spatial rift before them.
Lin Rong entered without a word.
Lin Yu then attached his consciousness to Lin Rong, preparing to observe the situation within.
