Chapter 947: Insect Race Heaven Lord

The group of nine pierced through the insect wave and flew towards the borders of the battlefield at a rapid pace.

Behind them were endless insects that pursued relentlessly. Apart from some of the formidable saint lord-level insects that could follow from far behind, the other insects had already vanished from the rear.

…

Deep in the insect race battlefield, there was a gigantic hive and it was even bigger than Gloom City. If a heaven lord was here, they would certainly be able to identify it as a primary extinct class hive. Of course, no one would be able to imagine that there was actually a surviving primary extinct class hive here. This primary extinct class was dilapidated and was only left with less than 30% of the original state. 

But the strange thing was that this dilapidated primary extinct class hive was constantly siphoning substances from the surroundings. It was seemingly rebuilding itself.

On the top right corner of the hive’s interior, there was a vacant hole. In the center of the vacant hole, there was a giant insect crystal floating there. The surface of the insect crystal had dense cracks and it looked like it would burst at any time.

The sides of the insect crystals had dozens of insect eggs and the eggs had all sorts of patterns on the surface.

Crack!

One of the eggs with purple patterns suddenly cracked open. From the crevice, a pair of purple palms reached out.

Crackle!

Using the palms to rip, the seemingly indestructible insect egg was rippled into two halves. A purple human-shaped lifeform walked out.

It was a human-shaped lifeform covered in a purple shell. Its qi presence didn’t feel as brutal and savage as other insects, but it was emitting a crazy pressure and deathly aura.

“Food, I need food.”

The purple lifeform looked at the direction where Li Fuchen’s group was escaping towards. With a flash, it vanished from the hive.

…

After getting rid of the insects, the multicolor-dressed lady took out a battleship from her spatial ring. Everyone boarded the ship immediately.

The speed of the battleship wasn’t slow and was at least half as fast as everyone’s traveling speed.

On the spacious deck, Li Fuchen sat with crossed legs and closed his eyes to rest.

“Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord, many thanks for the rescue. Once we get out, I will ask my father to personally thank you.” Gathering her courage, Multiflora Rose Saint Lordess who was dressed in the silver metallic dress came beside Li Fuchen.

Without opening his eyes, Li Fuchen said indifferently, “There is no need for trouble. I am just lending a convenient hand.”

“Multiflora Rose Saint Lordess’ father is a heaven lord. Gratitude from a heaven lord is something that many people wish they had.” The handsome youth maintaining the screen earlier had walked out from the cabin.

A half-heaven lord was nothing. As long as they had yet to become a heaven lord, they would be inferior to heaven lords. His father and Multiflora Rose’s father were both heaven lords. It was something that Li Fuchen couldn’t compare with.

“Light Mark Saint Lord, why did you follow here?” The Multiflora Rose Saint Lordess was rather angry.

Previously, she had a rather good impression of the Light Mark Saint Lord, but she was starting to feel the opposite now.

“Nothing much, I just happened to be outside.” The Light Mark Saint Lord looked at Li Fuchen, “Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord, I, the Light Mark Saint Lord isn’t someone who would forget favors. After we get out, I will ask my father to host a feast for you. If he is happy, he might offer you some guidance.”

His father was only a regular heaven lord, but was a grade 2 heaven lord and was rather famous in the Tiger Imperial Star Domain.

“I don’t really care.”

Li Fuchen really didn’t care about a heaven lord. With his current strength, he could basically crush an ungraded heaven lord. Even if he was to face a grade 5 or grade 4 heaven lord, Li Fuchen was confident he could suppress them easily.

Those that could threaten his life would need to be at least a grade 3 heaven lord.

Li Fuchen felt that it wasn’t possible for the Light Mark Saint Lord’s father to be a city lord-level heaven lord. Otherwise, he would intentionally emphasize on the fact that his father was a city lord-level heaven lord.

“You don’t even care about heaven lords? Such aspirations.” The Light Mark Saint Lord laughed.

“A regular heaven lord is really nothing special. Anyone of us has the strength to contest with ungraded heaven lords. Once we progressed into a heaven lord, the weakest of us will at least be grade 3 heaven lords. As for the Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord, he might even become a city lord-level heaven lord.” It was unknown when the bald man had walked out of the cabin. But he spoke with disdain.

Li Fuchen didn’t rely on weapons and defeated him with merely his sword dao strength, allowing him to be utterly convinced with Li Fuchen’s strength. When he heard someone mocking Li Fuchen, he was naturally unhappy.

“City lord-level heaven lord? That is impossible…” The Light Mark Saint Lord didn’t believe.

“It is up to you if you believe it. You will not understand our world.” The bald man couldn’t be bothered about the Light Mark Saint Lord.

Just as the Light Mark Saint Lord still wanted to talk, the space-time around the battleship had suddenly turned stale. A purple lifeform appeared out of nowhere.

“Insect race heaven lord?” The bald man was terrified.

The hundred-eyes insect previously was already so difficult to deal with. Even if he risked his life, he wasn’t going to be a match for this insect heaven lord.

The people in the cabin immediately sensed the anomaly on the outside as they quickly rushed out.

“Why is there an insect heaven lord on this battlefield?” Everyone had awful expressions.

An insect heaven lord could only be produced from primary extinct class hives. Logically, when the insect race battlefield was sealed up, the entire place should have been scanned through. It wasn’t possible for a primary extinct class hive to be left behind.

“Kill!” The iron-armored man drew the high-grade Joint-Heaven Sword and slashed at the purple lifeform.

Crackle!

The purple lifeform lifted its hand to crush the sword qi. There was purple blood flowing, but that was it.

“Mm?” The purple lifeform stared at the iron-armored man. Its eyes didn’t have a trace of emotions and it put on an intense pressure.

“Everyone, let’s split up and escape. We are not going to be a match for it.” The one speaking was the three-eyed man. 

Before coming in, they had already agreed with the Bitter Sea Sword Lord that they would view their lives with the highest priority when in fatal danger. They wouldn’t risk their lives to rescue the others.

“You cannot abandon us.” The Light Mark Saint Lord was panicking.

Without Li Fuchen and the group, they would never be able to survive.

Mia Saint Lordess didn’t say anything. She knew clearly in such situations that no one would care about others if they couldn’t protect themselves.

“I will stay behind to stall it. All of you are to leave quickly.” Right at this moment, an indifferent and calm voice sounded.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw it was none other than Li Fuchen.

“Can you do it?” The iron-armored man frowned and couldn’t understand Li Fuchen’s thoughts.

Li Fuchen’s sword dao proficiency was indeed superior, but he might not be weaker to Li Fuchen in strength due to his high-grade Joint-Heaven Sword.

If he couldn’t deal with the insect heaven lord, what could Li Fuchen do?

“I guess I will know after I try.”

Li Fuchen wasn’t such a selfless person. To be honest, if he stayed behind to deal with the insect heaven lord, there was a certain level of danger.

The reason he stayed behind was for the insect crystal.

He didn’t bother about regular insect crystals, but a heaven lord-level insect crystal was very useful to him.

When speaking, Li Fuchen flew out from the battleship.

Seeing this scene, the Light Mark Saint Lord felt ashamed. As compared to Li Fuchen, he wasn’t just inferior in strength and he wasn’t as courageous either. However, he knew that most courageous people would die early and there wasn’t a single exception.

“All my food, don’t even think of escaping.”

The purple lifeform suddenly vanished and when it reappeared, it was already in front of Li Fuchen. The purple palm with sharp nails stabbed towards Li Fuchen’s chest.

“Get lost!”

Li Fuchen wielded the shamanic sword and slashed on the purple palm.

Boom Boom!

There was a terrifying force shockwave. A pitch-black hole appeared in between the duo. Immediately after the pitch-black hole collapsed and there was a burst of intense energy. The purple lifeform was sent flying while Li Fuchen was only pushed back for a small distance.

“Suppressing an insect heaven lord in a direct confrontation?” Everyone took a cold gasp.

Especially Mia Saint Lordess and her group. All of them were dumbfounded and shocked.

“Hurry up and leave.” Li Fuchen’s voice was transmitted over.

“Let’s go!” The multicolor-dressed lady controlled the battleship to leave the battle as quickly as possible.

It was useless for them to stay behind as they would only be a burden.

Li Fuchen might have taken the advantage during the first clash, but during a combat between a heaven lord and someone below heaven lord, the heaven lord would normally end up as the victor.

A heaven lord’s energy was endless and it was too difficult to kill them. As long as the opponent couldn’t preserve long enough, the opponent would be the one to perish.

It was an unfair battle.
