Chapter 1831 - 82: Ni Yang Awakens (Part 2)
Yeluo’s self-destruction is not invincible, being held back by two opponents of the same rank, preventing her from releasing it in the densely packed insect swarm.
Moreover, the Desert Worms aren’t stupid; they’ve been seeking opportunities to deliver a fatal blow, especially right after she finished rebirth, the moment when she’s most vulnerable. If they hit Yeluo, she could fall into a prolonged rebirth process.
Luckily, there aren’t many Extraordinary Level beings among the Desert Worm Clan, and Zhang Xiaoman and Yeluo together had already taken out two of them. Now that two more have come to confront Yeluo, the pressure on the others has lessened significantly.
Zhang Xiaoman has been coasting through the entire battle, skirting the edges of the insect swarm to deal damage without facing much pressure.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to exert his strength; it’s just that the sheer number of these insects is overwhelming. Although he has stepped into the threshold of the Extraordinary Level, he essentially remains within the range of the Control Level, and the upper limit of his Spiritual Power is his biggest bottleneck.
Facing such a Level 7 insect swarm, anyone below the Extraordinary Level would surely perish if they charged in recklessly. Zhang Xiaoman doesn’t consider himself invincible; even though he has Unlimited Teleportation to escape at any time, he can’t be sure he won’t slip up.
At this moment, the battle has reached a fever pitch. At the core battlefield of the Insect Race, the clash between Blue White Clothes and the Insect Queen has erupted with earth-shattering waves, like a massive vortex swallowing everything around.
Countless insect minions want to rush in to assist, but as soon as they touch the aftershocks, they’re torn to shreds, unable to get close at all.
However, their deaths aren’t entirely meaningless. The Insect Queen is absorbing the blood and flesh left by their deaths, steadily enhancing its power.
"This can’t go on, Blue White Clothes hasn’t fully recovered his strength. If it’s dragged into a war of attrition, the situation will be very unfavorable for him."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the position of the fierce battle from afar, worry arising in his heart.
The situation on the battlefield is quite unfavorable for the Alliance Army, as the number of insects is simply overwhelming, and the battle has gradually turned into a war of attrition.
In fact, this is the most troublesome aspect of the Desert Worm Clan: their endless numbers cause headaches for everyone, and their inherently strong adaptability means the longer the battle drags on, the more advantageous it becomes for them.
The good news is that there’s still a glimmer of hope for the Alliance Army.
At the rear of the fleet, in the command center, a detector moved his gaze from the detector in front of him, approached the Commander, and excitedly said:
"Commander! The functions of our fleet are gradually recovering, the influence of the Insect Domain is diminishing! At this rate, we should soon be able to break through the space blockade!"
This news from the detector undoubtedly lifted the spirits of those present, and finally, there seemed to be hope for leaving alive after fighting the Desert Worm Clan for so long.
Indeed, the Alliance Army had known from the start that this battle was impossible to win. The super-large Level 7 insect swarm is already the top existence in this world, and there’s no hope of victory with the people they have here.
Therefore, their initial goal was not to annihilate the enemy but to attempt to reduce the number of insects to lessen the influence of the Insect Domain, thus breaking the space blockade and allowing the survivors to escape.
The expression on the Commander’s face slightly relaxed, but his brows quickly furrowed again.
It’s easier said than done to hold on.
Several Ancestors have already been heavily exhausted; it’s unlikely they can hold off those insects for much longer.
Once the Ancestors withdraw, the hard-earned front line will undoubtedly again draw closer to the Space Barrier. Once the insect swarm gets up close for melee combat, everyone present might not live to see another day.
"The fleet’s functions have recovered to a certain extent, we should be able to use more firepower now. Notify all Commanders, launch an all-out attack with no reservations, the more we fight, the more firepower we can recover!"
The order was quickly passed down through the ranks. Although there were conflicts among different factions, in the face of life and death, no one was going to play tricks. The orders were swiftly executed.
Suddenly, the fleet’s firepower output increased by twenty percent compared to before, and this enhancement allowed the Ancestors battling at the front to catch their breath.
"Oh, kid, it’s quite lively here, isn’t it?"
As Zhang Xiaoman was maneuvering, occasionally throwing large-scale area damage skills at the most densely packed insect regions, a familiar voice suddenly came from his Spiritual Sea.
"Ni Yang? You’ve woken up? How are you feeling?"
Upon hearing the voice, his spirit instantly lifted, and an undeniable sense of excitement and joy arose from the depths of his heart.
Ni Yang had been in intermittent slumber for over a decade to recover from injuries, and the Little Dragon clone within the Sect Leader Jade had remained in an unconscious state. Now, it had finally awakened, indicating that the body’s injuries were nearly healed.
"Hehe, not bad. You didn’t do too badly, kid; with that World Tree seed, the progress of my recovery was greatly expedited. Although my strength hasn’t yet returned to its peak, at least I won’t be trapped daily in that Jade Spirit Lake anymore. Finally, I’m able to get out and move around a bit."
Ni Yang seemed quite pleased. After all, anyone trapped in a lake for ten thousand years wouldn’t enjoy it.
"Hmm? Kid, what’s going on here? What’s with all these demon beasts? Their numbers rival the Heavenly Emperor’s infinite Immortal Soldiers. Have you inadvertently stepped into the Demon World?"
"The Demon World..."
Zhang Xiaoman chuckled wryly.
"Not really, but it’s more or less the same. We’re basically at the entrance of the Demon World..."
He quickly explained the situation to Ni Yang.
"I see; who could have imagined that such a place would exist in the Ruins Realm? With the Demon Race this strong, how do humans survive here?"
In the Divine Sense Space, the Green Little Dragon shook its head, and with a flicker, projected its phantom next to Zhang Xiaoman.
"Well, in any case, the matters of the Ruins Realm have nothing to do with me. Kid, what are your plans? Are you intending to save the people here?"
After coming out, the Green Little Dragon curiously looked around before locking its gaze on Zhang Xiaoman.
"Wait, kid, how are you at the Golden Immortal Stage now!?"
Ni Yang’s eyes widened, looking at Zhang Xiaoman with a gaze full of incredulity.
"Since I last saw you, it’s been less than two years. How did you go from a Heavenly Immortal to a Golden Immortal?"
In two years, going from the Heavenly Immortal to the Golden Immortal Stage; even someone as knowledgeable as Ni Yang, a prominent figure in the Immortal Realm, couldn’t help but express astonishment.
Zhang Xiaoman scratched his head, smiling shyly:
"Hehe, it’s not just two years; to be accurate, it’s been two and a half years."
"Ha, you’re getting cocky, kid."
Ni Yang circled him once, then landed in front of him again, sighing:
"But you do have reason to be cocky, kid. In just two years going from Heavenly Immortal to Golden Immortal, such speed is unmatched even throughout the Immortal Realm. I suspect you might be the incarnation of some Ancient Demon or have the bloodline of a Demon King. Otherwise, how could you break through so fast?"
Zhang Xiaoman chuckled but did not speak. He couldn’t really respond to this topic. He couldn’t possibly tell Ni Yang that he actually had a system cheat, unlocking all realms, and to increase his strength, he just needed to fill the Spiritual Power limit like cramming ducks, right?
In any case, the secret of the system is one he won’t reveal to anyone; it’s his last trump card.
Ni Yang didn’t pursue further, having seen many strange and bizarre things during its life, it wouldn’t press too hard.
Soon, its gaze was drawn to Blue White Clothes and the others who were engaged in battle in the distance.
