The stars and planets were moving around, orbiting on their set course while the insect planet was like an outsider, an intruder that stormed into the system without invitations. This greatly disrupted the gravitational balance of the stars and planets.
Arms grew out of Zhong Yue’s mortal body, and his fingers waltzed in the air as he started the calculations. After some time, there were over a hundred arms around him, his mortal body was tall and long like a human centipede as he calculated the orbits of the stars, planets, sun and moon.
“Done!" All of a sudden, Zhong Yue laughed and he released all of the arms. He walked to the other side of this rocky star and placed a Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis on the ground. As soon as the Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis was removed from the copper lamp, it crashed into the rocks and siphoned the energy from the rocky star at a crazy rate.
The flower bloomed and light rays blasted out into the space. The rocky star detached from the Celestial Earth Star’s star rings and then flew into the endless space.
Zhong Yue stared intently at the rocky star, closely observing its speed and course while he launched out one skill after another toward the rocky star to adjust its course.
The rocky star was moving at an increasingly faster speed while its course was being constantly adjusted by Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue checked for another time and he flew toward the experts who left the rocky star and were hovering in the space. The experts landed on another smaller star and Zhong Yue said, “I need this as well.”
The experts were shocked and Tian Mo Concubine shouted, “You are going to crash the insect planet with two stars?”
“Not two, but twelve!" Zhong Yue replied in frigid tone. He took out another Flowery Corpse God Chrysalis and placed it on the star. After some time, this smaller star also flew out from the star rings into the space.
With the same method, Zhong Yue sent another ten stars out into the endless universe.
Fang Jiange and the others were shuddering, one star was enough to wipe out 90 percent of the insect race. If twelve stars were to crash into it together, probably only the insect gods would be able to survive, provided they were all on the dark side of the insect planet.
If the insect gods were at the planet’s core, some of them might even be killed as well!
“Senior martial brother, when will these stars clash with the insect planet?" Qiu Jin’er asked.
“Two months later," Zhong Yue gave an answer.
Gu Hongzi sighed and said, “How I wish we can stay and witness such a magnificent event.”
They found another smaller star and Zhong Yue placed two Flowery Corpse God Chrysalises on it. The small star shuddered and moved toward the Celestial Wood Star.
There were originally over 70 stars in the star rings of the Celestial Earth Star, and after they left, only sixty-three stars were left behind.
The little star traveled in the universe, it was moving at an increasingly faster speed and was continually nearing to the Celestial Wood Star. Two months later, it was already very close to the Celestial Wood Star.
On the insect planet, the insect race conducted a two-month long feast. The Ancestral Star gods were sacrificed to the mother queen to summon her spirit back from the Void World.
As long as the mother queen’s spirit descended down from the Void World into her own mortal body, she would be able to lead the insect army and launch a full-scale invasion of the Ancestral Star. With the mother queen by their side, nothing on in the Ancestral Star would be able to stop them, they would be unstoppable!
At this day, the blood of the Ancestral Star experts were boiling on the altar. The ancestor of the insect race, the mother queen’s spirit, was descending from the Void World through the blood-paved pathway.
Meanwhile, twelve stars aligned in a straight line appeared in the high sky above the insect planet. From afar, they were like a line of pearls falling from the sky — it was truly a magnificent scene.
But the insect experts were all kneeling on the ground and worshipping the arrival of their grand ancestor. Only a few insect experts noticed the strange phenomenon.
The stars were drawing nearer and the whole insect planet was illuminated with the bright rays of the incoming stars. The countless insects forgot the worshipping rituals as they were enraptured by the scene in the sky.
“It’s so … beautiful…" a mother insect mumbled.
Chapter 523: … Total Destruction |
The twelve little stars grew bigger and brighter, soon covering everything in the insect experts’ visions. They were truly beautiful, like angels that descended from the heavens.
Billions of insects were looking at the beautiful stars descending down upon them, but none were aware that this would be the last thing they ever saw.
Twelve stars blasted through the insect planet’s atmospheric layers, the first star ignited in flames from the friction with the atmosphere. Heatwaves emanated out from the falling star and a trail of fire was left behind, forming a long tail on its back like a streaming meteor.
The star was over a thousand miles in radius, it only took a few moments for it to crash to the ground of the insect planet.
The earth quaked and water crashed all over the place, hurricanes embodied with blazing fire blew from one end of the planet to the other in a matter of seconds!
In the hurricanes, the Flowery Corpse God Chrysalises were crushed and broken and the flames then incinerated their giant bodies.
The Flowery Corpse God Chrysalises struggled in pain until death as it became charred black into charcoals.
The insect planet didn’t have any water on its surface, the water sources were all deep beneath the ground. But as the star crashed onto the ground, the water underneath shot up into the air like a geyser.
In the sky, burning rocks rained down all over the insect planet. Those insect experts who survived the first crash were now immediately faced with their the second wave of calamities. Countless insect Qi Practitioners were hit by the burning rocks and died in a horrible way.
Earth, water, wind, fire; the balance of the insect planet was disrupted, triggering a chain reaction.
But the calamity did not end just here yet. The second, third, fourth … a total of eleven stars then came crashing relentlessly.
Meanwhile, the insect gods and mother insects finished their worshipping, the mother queen’s spirit had descended from the Void World and entered her mortal body. Almost instantaneously, the Mother Queen Palace shuddered violently in the underground.
The insect gods and mother gods were changing faces drastically, they quickly flew out and but before they could exit to the ground surface, the earth crust sank down toward the center. The friction acted on the earth crust even melted the rocks and stones into lavas, stopping the gods from going out.
An insect god tried pressing through the lavas but was immediately pushed back, he was spurting out blood and crashed through the underground tunnels.
The other insect gods and mother gods were shocked, the insect planet was like a huge ant nest, tunnels were connecting one another and with the lava flowing into the underground, everything would be melted and destroyed!
Even when there were the strong insect Qi Practitioners who weren’t afraid of the fire and heat, the gushing lavas could still drown them in and the immense pressure could crush them as well!
“What happened?" An insect god was stunned, he shouted in shock, “Are the Deity Overlords and Deity Emperors of the Ancestral Star here?”
Such incredible power, it was never achievable by the ordinary divine weapons, nor the ordinary gods. Only the Deity Overlords or even the Deity Emperors possess such strength!
KRONGG——
The second star impacted on the ground. The earth quaked even harder and the earth crust sank deeper into the planet’s core. This forced the insect gods to rush deeper into the planet core as they didn’t enough time to exit to the ground surface.
KRONGG——
> KRONGG——
KRONGG——
…
The stars crashed in one another. The insect planet’s earth crust was already melting into the lavas, even the icy cold world at the back of the insect planet was turned into an ocean of lava. The whole insect planet’s surface was now like a world of lava.
This lava was flowing into the underground, melting everything on their path.
The earth was quaking and sinking into the planet core, the immense pressure pressed on the insect gods into spurting out bloods. It was only four stars that crashed onto the insect planet so far and the insect planet was already on the brink of melting away wholly!
Right at this moment, the huge mother queen slowly opened her eyes. The compound eyes on her body were rolling continuously and suddenly, her huge mouth suddenly detached from the Ancestral Star. The tentacles on her body shot out through the quaking earth into the sky.
In mid-air, a falling star was pierced through by one of the many tentacles. Then, the star and the tentacle both pulverized into the tiniest particles while a loud groan of pain came from the underground.
In the midst of the burning skies, the mother queen’s tentacles pierced through the firmament and crushed the other falling stars. This was done at the cost of a tentacle for the destruction of a falling star each.
When the twelfth star was moving toward the atmospheric layer of the insect planet, the mother queen’s huge mouth shrunk back and roared right at the star. A layer of rocks was brushed off from the star’s surface just from the roar alone, it’s speed slowed down and finally, it stopped its free fall into the insect planet. Instead, the star began to orbit around the insect planet, making it the insect planet’s first satellite.
Other than that, parts of the insect planet and the broken parts of the other falling stars also formed into tiny little satellites orbiting the insect planet.
“Mother queen!" The surviving insect gods and mother gods were overjoyed, they looked at the mother queen in the planet core in awe.
“Mother queen!”
“Long live the great mother queen!”
“Mother queen is unstoppable!”
……
Suddenly, the praise slowly stopped and the insect gods and mother gods exchanged a look. The aura of their mother queen was waning at a noticeable rate, her tentacles were moving back to her side. Some of them were already broken away while some appeared gravely wounded.
Even her mouth that was able to move through dimensions had a few holes on it as well.
……
“The energy you offered to me isn’t sufficient anymore." The mother queen’s voice trembled the surroundings as she said, “It depleted and I can no longer linger in the mortal world anymore. I need more sacrifices if you want me to descend from the Void World again…”
Her voice grew softer as she spoke, and suddenly, the mother queen’s spirit flew out from her mortal body and disappeared back into the void.
“Mother queen!" The gods cried. They knelt helplessly before the huge mortal body and wept. Sobbing as everything they planned, every effort they put in for years and generations were wiped away in less than a few seconds time!
After a long time, the gods stood up with heavy grief.
“Who, who is it! Who is it that destroyed all of our hard work!”
“Who are you!? Show yourself! Are you even worthy to be called a god if you don’t even dare to stand against us squarely!?”
“Come out!”
……
……
The insect planet was now a ball of fire, lava flowed above the ground and seeped deep into the planet’s core. Even if there were any insects that survived the calamities, they wouldn’t be able to live under such circumstances either.
The insect gods and mother gods were downcast. Everything they had prepared for was now lost forever. Furthermore, it was at the time where they summoned the spirit of the mother queen back from the Void World, the day where their insect race would rise to its peak. To plummet from the highest peak they had ever reached to in this day to where they were now left an extremely bitter aftertaste in their mouths!
Other than them — the gods — all of the other insects were dead. Billions or even over a trillion insects were killed under the burning rocks, either from being drowned in the resultant tsunami, or melted by the blazing lava!
“Who … who did this…”
On the surface of the insect planet, in the burning lavas, the insect gods and the mother gods unleashed their beast-like nature. Surging waves after waves of lavas into the sky as they entangle with one another.
In the moanings of the mother insects and roarings of the insect gods, they coupled one time after another. The insect gods injected their seeds into the stomachs of the mother gods, causing the mother gods’ stomachs to bulged up like balloons.
Suddenly, an insect god had given out all of his energy and died of exhaustion while the other insect gods weren’t in any better conditions as well. After some time, another few insect gods died of the same cause and the mother gods’ stomachs were already round like the fully inflated balloons.
Pu, pu, pu…
The mother gods extended their tentacles into the lavas and discharged the insect eggs deep into the insect planet. Millions of these insect eggs were placed deep in the insect planet, they were all as tall as a human adult but they didn’t hatch immediately. Instead, these insect eggs were siphoning the energy from the burning lavas to incubate themselves.
A few months later, the surface of the insect planet finally cooled down. The energy in the lavas was siphoned by the insect eggs and these little livings were slowly nurtured, but they still haven’t hatched yet.
Deep in the underground, there were still the lavas flowing around, while these insect eggs were a layer right above the flowing lavas.
“My children, you will come to life one day in the future," A mother god whose upper half was like a demon lady opened her eight arms as if she was hugging the sky mumbled, “The day you smell the flesh and blood of the other living beings is the day you shall rise from the ashes of your ancestors. Your senses will direct you to your food and your bodies are the weapons you use to slaughter them all. Find them, eat them, and grow stronger than ever.
“By then, the world will dread you, and you shall be the king of this universe! And, you will bring back our great ancestor, the mother queen. your brothers and sisters will wait for you to return and reunite together in the Ancestral Star!”
The leftover insect gods were all tired and exhausted, they flew together with the other mother gods out from the insect planet. On the surface of the insect planet, the few insect gods that died of exhaustion were petrified into mountains and the dust of the devastated planet covered them within.
In space, the 24 insect gods and mother gods turned their head and looked at their destroyed home planet for one last eye. As time passed, the burning lava that once crawled over the planet would cool down and ice and snow would soon take over the planet to usher in a new ice age.
One of the mother gods turned her head around and mumbled, “If we fail, our seeds will be here waiting for the right time to rise and avenge their ancestors. The hatred between us and the Ancestral Star can only be washed away with blood! So long as anyone from the Ancestral Star lays a step on the insect planet, our children will rise and reap their lives!”
“Come, let’s go, it’s time to pay back the Ancestral Star for what they did to us!”
“Two years at the most, we will be there to wash the Ancestral Star with their own blood!”
……
Around the Celestial Wood Star, a star over a thousand miles in radius had fallen into its gravitational field. Zhong Yue quickly adjusted the star’s course and drew it into orbit around the Celestial Wood Star for a few rounds, making use of the Celestial Wood Star’s gravity to further accelerate the star’s velocity.
He was planning to utilize the Celestial Wo
od Star gravitational field to slingshot the star toward the Ancestral Star.
“That is…”
Suddenly, the experts noticed the blast of bright rays came from the dark space in the direction of the insect planet.
“Darling, your twelve stars really struck on the insect planet…" Tian Mo Concubine mumbled, “So beautiful…”
……
It was truly a beautiful scene of destruction, like a flower that went into full bloom before it withered.
“It’s really pretty…" The ladies looked at the lights, and their eyes were filled with various emotions, as if they were inebriated from what they saw.
Fang Jiange and Gu Hongzi exchanged a look and saw the shock in each other’s eyes, they were shocked by the power of the heaven and earth. Although Zhong Yue was the impetus, there was no doubt that this was only possible due to the power of the heaven and earth. The immense velocity and mass of the stars granted it an unstoppable momentum that was the embodiment of total destruction!
“The insect planet’s speed is stopped by the twelve stars, it won’t be able to fly toward the Ancestral Star anymore now." Zhong Yue calculated in his heart and suddenly, he heaved a breath of relief while smiling.
Chapter 524: No One Can Stop Him Now |
“Senior martial brother, I want to stay on the Celestial Wood Star to cultivate." Suddenly, Qiu Jin’er said, “I want to stay here. There are many moons around the Celestial Wood Star, I can choose one and cultivate there. As long as I don’t enter the Celestial Wood Star, the Kun Peng Celestial Race won’t know I’m here. Staying here allows me to cultivate faster and it is more beneficial to my Wood Innate Spirit.”
Zhong Yue startled, he said, “But you don’t much air to breath…”
Qiu Jin’er covered her mouth as she chortled, “Did you forget that I’m the Wood Innate Spirit Body? My Yuan Shen secret realms are filled with immense life force, plants and trees grew all over the place. I don’t to worry about air.”
Zhong Yue then realized, it was true that breathing air wasn’t any issue to Qiu Jin’er. She had the Innate Wood Spirit Body and was able to control plants to generate the air she needed to breathe. Even when wandering the universe on her own, she wouldn’t have to worry about running out of oxygen at all.
