Chapter 118 - 106: Seven-Star Death Injection

Chapter 118: Chapter 106: Seven-Star Death Injection

The moment Chen Qi was locked onto, his heart suddenly pounded violently, and a flicker of starlight appeared.

In the next instant, seven massive Life Magnet Fields extinguished one by one, like stars falling into oblivion.

However, their immense energy did not disappear. Instead, it poured into the newly born star within Chen Qi’s body.

······

’It’s different from before.’

’The previous few times I experienced "Life Withering," it was only the Seven-Star Death Injection. There was no Insect Emperor Rebirth.’

’It seems Trudeau had only completed the concept for this move and never actually used it.’

’After all, the Eight Great Vajra aren’t easy to cultivate. Who would go all-in right at the start of a battle?’

After being hit, Chen Qi was incomparably calm, silently comprehending and scrutinizing this killing blow from Trudeau.

According to the analysis Chen Qi had completed earlier, the reason Trudeau drove his insects to their deaths one after another was to establish a kind of "hatred lock."

The reason Chen Qi called it a "hatred lock" and not a "resentment lock,"

was because Chen Qi had learned from his mistakes. After the beating he took from his old buddy Kolos, he had always been wary of the problem of resentment locks.

In the real world, as soon as Chen Qi saw Trudeau employ his suicidal tactics, he immediately manipulated his Life Magnet Field to crush all the resentment.

The insects’ resentment was minuscule. Although it was harder to detect, it was easy to clean up if one was looking for it.

But even so, Chen Qi was still hit.

In the actual battle, he had also failed to dodge the "Seven-Star Death Injection."

This forced Chen Qi to connect the move to a Star Map or some kind of ritual. Considering Trudeau possessed the Great Decomposition Saber blueprint, perhaps this move also came from some kind of Extraordinary heritage.

The subsequent effects of the Seven-Star Death Injection further verified Chen Qi’s suspicion.

······

"Hahaha, you feel it now, don’t you!"

"My little insects are awakening inside you. A million-strong swarm sacrificed themselves through Life Withering to send their eggs into your body."

"Once they begin to hatch, the most brutal despair in the world awaits you."

"Awaken!~"

Due to the disappearance of a large portion of the swarm, Trudeau’s form in the sky began to blur.

But his expression was one of extreme excitement. After every time he used Life Withering, the scene that followed was the most anticipated moment of his life.

Chen Qi’s face remained incomparably calm, but inside his body, utter chaos had erupted.

Following Trudeau’s call, a strange point of Life Magnet Field was born within every single one of Chen Qi’s cells.

If one were to observe with a high-definition microscope, they would find that on a physical level, little black dots had appeared inside Chen Qi’s cells.

These black dots seemed to be some kind of living creature. As they continuously devoured the nutrients and matter within the cells, their volume rapidly expanded.

In the end, the entire cell would die completely, and the black dot, now a hundred times larger, would easily tear through the cell membrane and emerge.

It was a small, black, ant-like insect.

······

’As expected, after sacrificing the Eight Great Vajra, the effect of the Seven-Star Death Injection is even stronger.’

’It’s unbelievable. Just what is the ritual connected to that seven-star Star Map? To think it could project the genetic material of some insect into my cells.’

’This move of Trudeau’s is truly vile, using an enemy’s own cellular nutrients to hatch insect eggs.’

’Fortunately, what happened in reality was just a watered-down version. My Spirituality prioritized the protection of the brain, that mysterious organ, so it wasn’t injected with the genetic material.’

’If Trudeau had gone all-in back then like he is now, my Spirituality might not have been able to protect my brain.’

For Chen Qi, as long as his brain cells were unharmed, there was still a chance for salvation.

This was also the most direct reason he had won in reality.

At this point, Chen Qi had already experienced several rounds of "Life Withering." He had long since figured out the characteristics of these insects and had a perfect countermeasure.

The very instant he was hit, Chen Qi used two-thirds of his Spirituality to completely envelop his brain.

Based on several past experiments, Chen Qi had reached a conclusion.

As long as he used his Spirituality to completely seal off and isolate the cells, these little black dots would not hatch.

Given that this "Life Withering" was far too powerful, Chen Qi prioritized protecting his brain.

His choice was indeed the correct one. Aside from his brain, all the little black dots in the other cells of his body hatched.

Chen Qi used his remaining one-third of Spirituality to cover his entire body, but it only slightly slowed the hatching process.

"You’re still not dead?"

"What kind of monster are you?"

Trudeau got his wish and saw the scene he had been waiting for. In just an instant, Red Heart 7 was devoured by his insects.

However, to his disbelief, this guy had somehow managed to protect his own head.

What was most incredible was that, in the blink of an eye, the guy’s flesh and blood began to regenerate infinitely, and his body was restored in an instant.

But to think he could escape just like that was to sorely underestimate him, Trudeau.

This "Life Withering" had been fueled by the sacrifice of his entire swarm. How could it be broken so easily?

"Insect Emperor Rebirth!"

Trudeau spat out the final command with a cold smile. All the small black insects that had previously hatched from Chen Qi’s body were sacrificed once again.

In the next instant, the starlight in Chen Qi’s heart flickered, and a true Alien life form was born inside him.

The moment it was born, the Seven Stars in the sky reversed, and everything Chen Qi possessed was seized by it.

It was as if a dam had burst and its waters were surging backward. Chen Qi was completely unable to plug the breach.

PFFT! Chen Qi’s chest was pierced through, and an arthropod limb shaped like a human hand stretched out.

Chen Qi watched this scene with utter calm, leaving behind the last sentence of his life.

"I’ve finally caught you!"

In the next instant, Chen Qi’s body was completely torn to shreds, turning into countless dry, dead fragments.
