Chapter 407 234: [Cosmic Gemstone] Great Outbreak

Deep within the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path.

Zorn, in the form of the Eating Phase Insect King Curse, was swiftly swimming forward.

However, no matter how fast Zorn fled,

a faint rustling sound, barely audible, followed him like a shadow.

"SHHH... SHHH..."

A colossal maw, seemingly vast enough to contain the entire Abyss, lunged forward to bite down on Zorn, as if to swallow him whole.

With a cold expression, Zorn quickly unleashed the Insect King Curse he had prepared in advance.

Even though Zorn's Insect King Curse had reached Level 18 and was capable of devouring a Material Plane of the cosmos,

it still couldn't last more than a few breaths before the illusory, hazy maw tore it to shreds.

Fortunately, the Insect King Curse bought him a little time, allowing him to create a significant distance between them.

As the Insect King Curse shattered, Zorn's expression grew even more grim as he fled.

By this point, four of his Insect King Curses had been destroyed in succession.

The shockwaves from the destruction of the Eating Phase·Insect King Curse Sequence reverberated into his own Ancient Sequence.

His Ancient God Sequence and the Divine Power within his body were now roiling and surging. Even if he managed to escape, it would likely take him many years of recuperation to recover.

Gazing at the incredibly long path still ahead of him, Zorn's expression grew darker and darker.

The "Ancient Nest Remnant" of the Eating Phase Insect Mother was one of the dangerous areas that only powerhouses at the Ancient God Level were qualified to explore.

Furthermore, one needed to have deeply refined the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path to even qualify for entry.

In order to obtain the remains of the Eating Phase Insect Mother's relics and strengthen his Resurrection Ability,

after his Ancient God Sequence had stabilized,

a fully prepared Zorn had delved deep into the Ancient Nest Remnant within the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path.

Using the advantage of the intelligence he had gathered,

Zorn successfully opened passages in three hidden corners and obtained three portions of the Eating Phase Insect Mother's relic remains.

Just as Zorn was about to take further action,

the "Ancient Nest Will" that guarded the Ancient Nest Remnant awoke.

And that led to the current chase.

'This Ancient Nest Remnant truly isn't a place someone of my current Level can enter so easily.'

The longer he fled, the fouler Zorn's expression became.

'Although I used special intelligence and rituals to access those three hidden relic remains and the harvest was astonishing,'

'it would take a squad of Ancient Gods at the very least to be qualified to enter this Ancient Nest Remnant and fight against that Ancient Nest Will.'

'Four of my Seven-Phase Insect King Curses have had their Sequences torn apart. If I keep using the Insect King Curse to fight back, I'm afraid I'll inflict permanent damage on my own Sequence.'

'It seems I have no choice but to use the Sea of Ultimate Destiny. However, once I use this powerful technique,'

'I'll completely offend that Ancient Nest Will, and I'll probably never have the chance to come back here again.'

After a moment of thought, Zorn made his decision.

He immediately began to mobilize a massive amount of Divine Power, activating his strongest Ancient God Curse—the Sea of Ultimate Destiny.

This technique would overwhelm the Ancient Nest Will, causing it to thoroughly remember Zorn's destined aura.

Then, if Zorn ever entered this place again, he would face a destined hunt from the Ancient Nest Will.

But right now, in order to escape safely, he couldn't worry about the future.

Soon, a massive vortex of destiny materialized in the path ahead.

After Zorn entered it, he created a few small ripples and then passed through quickly.

But when the Ancient Nest Will touched the Sea of Ultimate Destiny, it rapidly merged into it.

A short time later,

"ROOOAR..."

A terrifying wave of roars suddenly swept through the entire Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path.

For a moment, the entire Star Dust Plateau trembled slightly.

That terrifying roar swept across the entirety of the Star Dust Plateau.

Many powerful Divine Spirits looked up and around them, their faces filled with horror.

Even the many Ancient Gods on the Star Dust Plateau looked at each other in dismay.

From that terrifying roar, they could sense a heart-stopping power.

Although they were Ancient Gods,

the vast depths of the Star Realm's cosmos held countless buried secrets. Even as Ancient Gods, they did not dare to act too recklessly.

「Half a day later.」

Having finally broken free from the ancient insect nest area and entered the main region of the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path, Zorn let out a long sigh of relief.

By now, his aura was extremely weak. It would likely take him ten to twenty years to recover.

He looked back and could feel that will, born of destined hatred, staring directly at him.

After a moment of contemplation, Zorn shook his head and quickly left that land of trouble.

Although his injuries were not light,

his mood improved considerably after sensing the three portions of Ancient Relic remains he had obtained this time.

'The injuries were severe, but with these three rewards, it was worth it.'

'After all, each portion of these Ancient Relic resources is worth several Cosmic Gemstones. Even High Level Ancient Gods would be green with envy.'

'One portion is enough to strengthen my Resurrection Power, elevating it to the level of a top-tier Resurrection Ancient God Curse in one go.'

'The second portion will be fused into my Calamity Divine Kingdom. This will greatly enhance the Defense of my Divine Kingdom Crystal Wall. In future wars between Ancient Gods, I won't have to fear enemies discovering the location of my Calamity Divine Kingdom.'

'With the Eating Phase Insect Mother's Inheritance Insect Armor, its defensive ability is anything but ordinary.'

'The third portion will be used to cultivate my Tree of the Magic Ring, which will better stabilize my foundation.'

「After returning to his Divine Kingdom.」

Zorn tossed the two portions of Inheritance Insect Armor remains into the Crystal Wall Furnace and the Magic Ring Tree Furnace, respectively.
