Chapter 2260: Yomi Insect Swarm

Xuan Se glared, his hysterical old woman's voice coming out of his mouth, comparable to a shrew scolding the street!
(ง⋟口⋞)ง "Bullshit! I was fooled by your evil tricks. If it weren't for you insisting on coming to this damn bug nest to see some Insect Bi Shi, passing through all those trials, would I have fallen into this pit?"
Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) "I'm already dirty as hell! Ugh! Ughhh!"
Just recalling this experience made Xuan Se want to vomit!
"If I ever listen to your nonsense again, I'll take your surname!"
Yet even as he cursed loudly, Xuan Se roared, "Insect Might!"
In an instant, all the insect swarms surrounding Jiangnan and the others turned traitor, reversing their attack direction and charging at the newly surging insect horde!
"Domain Expansion: Chaos Primordial!"
Infinite chaotic energy bloomed, frantically erasing the swarming insects!
It even crushed the insect nest's node chambers, but outside was an even larger sealed chamber!
Still unable to escape!
Xuan Se had taken control of the Silver Spider Insect Bi Shi, naturally inheriting her original abilities and permissions, allowing him to command a portion of the insect swarm for his own use.
Only then did the besieged situation ease slightly.
Compared to Jiangnan, he hated Insect Bi Shi more. She had schemed to swallow everything he had, dragging him into the pit!
At least Jiangnan kept his word. Regardless of success or failure, he returned all sixty percent of his separated soul to him!
Though he might have been trying to drag him down too, he still gave him a chance!
Jiangnan laughed heartily: (˶‾᷄ꇴ‾᷅˵) "Don't set yourself up for failure. I've already acknowledged quite a few good sons over the years, and I don't want another one!"
Xuan Se: !!!
(´థ益థ)σ "You son of a bitch..."
[From Xuan Se: Resentment Value +777!]

Releasing Xuan Se's separated soul had its own considerations for Jiangnan!
Given the current situation, the Immortal Spirit Cocoon was out of reach, and their identity had been exposed, known to Insect Bi Shi.
Letting Xuan Se go no longer had any impact and could even help share the pressure!
Jiangnan wasn't thinking about how to escape anymore, but how to make Insect Bi Shi suffer!
If I can't have a good time, neither can you!
Releasing Xuan Se was undoubtedly an excellent choice!

But the good times didn't last long. The insect nest wasn't stupid. Once it discovered that the Silver Spider Insect Bi Shi had been possessed, it quickly revoked her command authority.
Labeling her as a dangerous intrusion source that needed elimination.
Without the insect swarm's assistance, Xuan Se could only rely on his own domain to fight.
And Xuan Se was a genuine Half-Step Star Devourer in strength. Even with forty percent less power, his destructive force remained astonishing.
He could easily unleash attacks comparable to destroying a star system!
Combined with Jiangnan and the others, they blasted the surrounding insect nest to pieces!
But this level of damage was negligible for the entire nest!
Even the vast swarms outside the nest began to contract!
If one were outside this galaxy, they could see this spectacular scene!
The situation hadn't improved at all!

Even more terrifying, the nest chambers cracked open countless channels again!
Endless black mist surged toward them like a storm!
Chong Feiyu urgently shouted: (งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "Careful! This is the Yomi Insect Swarm! The vanguard of the Feiyu Insect Swarm! My proudest insect troop!"
"They devour everything—energy, matter, anything—with excellent jaws! The energy and matter they consume become their source of power for division!"
"Don't let these Yomi insects get close, or you'll be gnawed down to the bones in an instant!"

Chong Feiyu was incredibly frustrated now, being beaten by her own swarm!
Jiangnan's eyes widened in shock:
∑(°口°๑) "This black mist? They're insects?"
Even he couldn't see clearly with his naked eye; it just looked like black mist!
Using Sheng Yi's perspective, he could see the horrifying scene!
The black mist was entirely composed of insects so small it was almost unimaginable!
For reference, a nanometer is already tiny!
But after nanometers come picometers, femtometers, attometers, zeptometers, yoctometers!
These insects even consumed the corpses of other insects. When the black mist swept through, nothing was left!
And these Yomi insects frantically split: one into two, two into four!
Even cutting them with a blade was useless because they were so small that an extremely sharp edge felt like a flat wall to them!
Borden's strong-phase alloy spikes were devoured the moment they entered the black mist!
Samo's golden crystal spikes also couldn't escape being gnawed. Only Jiu Lan's Styx River Charge could blow these Yomi insects away, keeping them at bay!
Yomi insects that tried to consume Styx River energy would explode directly!
Clearly, they couldn't consume Styx River energy!
But they had no problem with chaotic energy. Xuan Se quickly couldn't hold on, his Chaos Primordial domain riddled with holes!
The Yomi swarm frantically split, multiplied, and grew!
Angered, Xuan Se used his dark matter field, but even dark matter energy could be consumed, just more slowly!
"Mind God Impact: Divine Release!"
Infinite spiritual energy burst forth, forcing the Yomi swarm back and crushing many. Clearly, they couldn't consume spiritual energy either!
But the ones that died were nothing to the Yomi swarm!

Jiangnan's mouth twitched: (¬﹏¬٥) "This is your insect vanguard? So hard to deal with?"
Chong Feiyu puffed up angrily: (◦`~´◦) "What do you think I used to claim so many properties in the Northern Crown Starry Sky Mine?"
"Wherever the Feiyu swarm goes, there must first be black clouds pressing down on the stars, a storm brewing! My Yomi swarm is formidable!"
Jiangnan nodded repeatedly:
(๑◔̫◔ิ๑) "Mm-hmm! Now it belongs to someone else, and they're using it against you!"
Chong Feiyu: ...
(*꒦ິ~꒦ີ) "Ugh~ You're mean! Can you stop bringing that up? I didn't want this either!"

Just then, Insect Bi Shi's sweet voice rang out:
ᥬ(๑ୖ҉ൠୖ҉) "Hehehe~ How do you like the taste of the Yomi swarm? Can you handle it?"
"That fatty does have some skill. No one in the insect race has been able to evolve the Yomi insect yet! But sorry, they're mine now!"
Chong Feiyu was so angry she rolled her eyes!
Insect Bi Shi's main body approached, guarded by countless swarms, looking down on them from above!
Boundless black mist swirled around her, forming a throne. Insect Bi Shi sat sideways, chin in hand, watching everyone with a contemptuous, world-dominating gaze!
Behind her followed the forty percent of Xuan Se's soul that had been eroded by puppet insects!
He had no choice but to obey!
Xuan Se Four and Xuan Se Six glanced at each other, cursing inwardly!
꒰⸝⸝҉⚆҉益҉⚆҉⸝⸝҉꒱━☆━(ŏ益ŏ๑)
What a disaster!

Insect Bi Shi looked over and chuckled: "Oh? Buy one get one free? There's another portion hidden?"
"Then I won't be polite and take it!"
With that, her domain instantly expanded, heading straight for Xuan Se Six!
Infinite emerald light burst forth. Behind Insect Bi Shi seemed to sit a world of loneliness and death—the Emerald Fall World!
Xuan Se Six: !!!
He glared at Jiangnan angrily!
(¬益¬٥) "You handle yourself! I'm out! Chaos Annihilation!"
Xuan Se didn't dare stay in the field. Even at full strength, he wouldn't be Insect Bi Shi's opponent!
Moreover, if there were any puppet insects mixed in the swarm, his sixty percent would also become Insect Bi Shi's!
Give her everything?
"Boom!"
He exploded violently, and the possessed Silver Spider Insect Bi Shi also self-destructed!
A fierce energy ripple swept in all directions!
The sixty percent strength, Xuan Se chose to return to his external separated soul, at least saving that much!
Insect Bi Shi smirked at Xuan Se Four:
ᥬ(๑ୖ҉෴ୖ҉) "Hmph! You're decisive enough, but that won't change the situation, will it?"

Jiangnan and the others were crystalized again by emerald!
With every "Aha," another layer of their Teletubbies suits shattered!
But the Yomi swarm also approached!
Jiu Lan, restored, gritted her teeth and released her domain again, pushing the Yomi swarm back!
Insect Bi Shi grew impatient: "Tsk~ How many layers are you wearing? Is there no end?"
She waved her hand, and the Emerald Fall Radiance bloomed again. Jiangnan and the others, frozen in place, shed another layer with an "Aha!"
Insect Bi Shi was furious: "I don't believe this!"
"Radiance! Radiance! Radiance!"
Jiangnan and co: "Aha~ Aha~ Aha~"
It seemed like the layers would never end!
But as the Teletubbies suits dwindled, everyone panicked!
Borden urgently said: (งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "No good! Boss Nan Shen! If we shed any more, we'll reach the dermis! We can't keep doing 'Aha'! Think of something!"
Samo kept "Aha-ing":
(ʃƪᵒ̶̶̷̀﹏˂̶́) "Boss Nan Shen, you can unleash black holes, right? I know you weren't bluffing!"
"Now's the time! Don't play the pig to eat the tiger anymore, or the pig will be eaten first! This is the perfect moment to show off!"
Insect Bi Shi was startled! A black hole? Jiangnan was going to unleash a black hole?
She even considered retreating to the rear!
Jiangnan gritted his teeth: (•́益•̀٥) "You think I don't want to show off? It's not that I want to, or that I can!"
Unleashing one would truly be risking his life!
But they couldn't keep this up. Should he try to absorb those two stars and break through to the Transcendent Realm?
Fighting while breaking through suited his style too!
But Jiangnan wasn't sure he could master the domain even if he reached Transcendent!

Just then, Jiu Lan suddenly suggested:
(゚~゚)ツ "Throw a few of those colorful jars! Blow them up!"
Jiangnan covered his face: (ノ)﹏(ヾ) "I want to too, but the power is too great. We'd probably be buried with them!"
He had considered using the colorful jars, but the blast radius was enough to break a Styx River channel several light-years wide!
He'd dared to use them before because the Styx River Star Road was there, and Jiu Lan could take them away!
But now, space was sealed by Void Insect Gum, and they couldn't retreat into dimensional gaps. Throwing them would mean getting blown up!
It was like a nuclear rocket with a ten-kilometer range and a hundred-kilometer blast radius!

And Suo Na, who had been pale-faced, suddenly straightened up:
(♫ಠĹ̯ಠ♫) "Throw! I can take it!"
Samo rolled his eyes:
(꒪ั益꒪ั*) "You? Forget it! Are you going to play the funeral music over our graves?"
Suo Na's forehead bulged with veins:
(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅ꐦ) "I am Yakeli! If you want, I'll dig you a small grave right now!"
With a collective "Aha," everyone's Teletubbies suits were gone, revealing their true skin!
Insect Bi Shi's eyes lit up. Finally, they were stripped clean!
One more strike, and they'd be done for!

Jiangnan squinted: (︶益︶ꐦ)ノΩ "Then let's blow them all to hell!"
He pulled out three colorful jars, double-clicked them, and launched three warp bubbles in a sandwich attack!
They headed in three directions, one directly at Insect Bi Shi's main body!
The hidden Yakeli in Suo Na's body suddenly activated. Countless blood crystals shot out from Suo Na's back, wrapping everyone like an eggshell!
The next moment, the three thrown jars burst into blinding radiance!
Art is explosion! Blast her stupid!
