Chapter 941: Chapter 578: Eight Avatars, Star Realm Unfolds! (Double Chapter)

"No!"

The Insect King’s heart suddenly jolted, and he forcibly broke free from that void-like sense of annihilation!

A pillar of blood shot into the sky as the Insect King appeared at the edge of the Insect Cage.

He was seen clutching the right side of his face with one hand, breath hissing from his mouth in an unending stream as white smoke billowed out.

Blood flowed down from his cheek, impossible to staunch.

Clearly, Song Changming’s slash just now had already wounded him!

Under the erosion of that terrifying Sword Intent, his wound could not be healed in a short time.

When he lowered his hand, that half of his face was visibly split open by a deep blade mark.

Even that eye had been injured and was tightly shut, unable to open again under the lingering Silent Extinction Blade Intent.

To speak of it, he didn’t even know how many years it had been since this Demon Body of his had last been injured, to the point that he had long forgotten what injury and physical pain felt like.

Not until today did this slash from Song Changming make him recall it once more.

Pain!

It hurt far too much!

The Insect Eyes were extremely important to his White-haired Worm bloodline; they were the manifestation of his entire Insect Race Tao Practice, and on them was gathered a vast amount of Demon Power.

If it were an ordinary injury, even damage to his Insect Eyes wouldn’t have caused him such agony.

But the power of the Silent Saber caused this Insect Eye to completely lose its vitality and fall into deathly silence.

The Demon Power and Tao Practice gathered within it also scattered along with it; this was what angered the Insect King the most.

On the other side, Song Changming had no intention of stopping. Thunder Light exploded around him as he further increased his speed, charging to kill that Insect King.

The next moment, the Insect King had no time to tend to the wound on his face and once again cast a Demon Technique, a vast white worm mist rising around him.

The mist quickly transformed into two identical Insect King bodies, charging to meet Song Changming.

This time, he no longer dared to casually receive the blade in Song Changming’s hand.

Just now, it wasn’t only that he lost one Insect Eye; even that Saber Spirit Evil Beast in the long blade had wanted to take a bite of his Divine Soul.

Fortunately, he noticed in time, and it did not succeed.

In short, every time Song Changming drew his blade, multiple layers of danger came crashing down together; if one’s reaction wasn’t fast enough, no matter how strong their Cultivation, they would suffer a loss!

Song Changming slashed down on those two entangling insect-body clones.

He had originally thought that if these two insect bodies were merely Demon Technique clones, their strength could not possibly be as formidable as the true Demon Body.

The Insect King was not the only one among the Demon Race who had mastered clone Demon Techniques; many Demons knew a bit of it. Song Changming had experienced it many times in the past on the Lei Province battlefield.

Even a clone possessing half the strength of the true body was already the manifestation of a top-tier Upper Vehicle clone Demon Technique.

But the Insect King’s clones clearly exceeded Song Changming’s understanding.

His slash passed through, yet he failed to directly sweep away the Insect King’s clones, and was even blocked.

The toughness of these clone insect bodies far surpassed his expectations, actually not much inferior to the Insect King’s true body!

Feeling the power erupting from the four insect arms on his long blade, they were already able to contend with him!

The pale wild hair raised by the two Insect King clones turned into cone-like hair needles, stabbing at him from left and right with such speed it seemed to have shattered the barriers of space.

Boom!

Thunder Light exploded beneath Song Changming’s feet, propelling him in a burst as he instantly leapt ten thousand meters into the air to evade the attack.

It could be seen that on the Thunder Armor covering his body, there were several obvious dents and cracks.

That seemingly soft white hair, when fired in an instant, actually possessed power surpassing the hardest iron.

The two Insect King clones simultaneously raised their heads, continuing to lock onto Song Changming above. Then their bodies scattered with the wind and disappeared, turning back into swarms of insects like white sand.

The next moment, minute insect swarms invisible to the naked eye suddenly condensed into form around Song Changming again, launching another assault that forced Song Changming to become entangled with them.

"Even two clones can’t take him down..." The wound on the Insect King’s right cheek emitted waves of hot steam as he watched the intense battle between the clones and Song Changming, and actually summoned two more clones.

Each possessed a strength not inferior to the main body as they charged to kill Song Changming.

This was equivalent to four Insect Kings simultaneously launching a joint siege on Song Changming; no matter how high his combat power, at this moment even he found it hard to endure.

"What kind of perverse Demon Technique is this!" Song Changming flickered and weaved through the Insect Cage, the Thunder Armor around him continuously blasted apart, already showing cracks that were difficult to quickly repair.

His gaze shifted, sweeping back and forth over the four clones.

The Insect King’s clones were not completely identical to the true body in appearance; the greatest difference lay beneath their foreheads—each clone possessed only a single large Insect Eye.

"One-eyed..."

This was also one point by which to distinguish the true body from the clones.

Even if the true body had one Insect Eye wounded by Song Changming, it at least possessed a pair of eyes; and based on Song Changming’s understanding of the White-haired Worm Race, the true body should have even more Insect Eyes that had yet to be revealed.

Whereas each clone had only a single large, one-eyed Insect Eye.

Thus, Song Changming deduced that these clones only appeared to be as powerful as the Insect King’s true body, but in reality there had to be a difference.

The most obvious point was that these clones had never once displayed the large-scale, high-power Insect Race Skills that the Insect King’s true body had used previously.

He surmised that the physical toughness of these Insect King clones might equal that of the true body, but in the application of Demon Techniques they were ultimately limited and could not be the same.

Otherwise, it would be far too unreasonable.

Song Changming fully unleashed the power of the Thunder Seed, and the Thunder Armor around him was once again reinforced, completely arming him, as though a Human King Statue compressed to a height of three meters was covering his entire body.

This was also a further deepened manifestation of his Technique based on the Human King Statue.

He did not need to maintain a several-hundred-meter-tall giant mech at all times, and this modified Thunder Armor was the replacement for that giant mech.
