Chapter 788 Myriad Flowers Illusion
Outside the valley, the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers and Elder Tu'e were already waiting.

Meanwhile, all the members of the Flower Spirit Clan were preparing to flee. They secretly set up a group teleportation array inside their clan territory.

Although the teleportation distance was not far, it was enough to teleport these lower-ranking clansmen to the outside world of the Linglong Immortal Abode Secret Realm.

"Fellow Daoists, you have arrived."

When Tu'e saw Qin Ming and the other person again, she couldn't help but scrutinize them a few more times, as if trying to discern some clues.

No matter how closely he observed, he couldn't discern anything unusual.

Elder Tu'e was puzzled by the thought that the two people in front of him might just be clones.

Qin Ming and Xuan Turtle God also noticed the gaze directed at them and showed strange expressions.

There were only a few of them on this trip to the dilapidated immortal palace; too many people would only create more confusion.

Furthermore, the situation inside is so complex that anyone below the Refinement stage who goes there almost never returns.

Ever since.

Qin Ming and his companions then flew towards the core of the Immortal Abode Secret Realm.

Just before arriving at the ruined Immortal Palace, Tu'e of the Flower Spirit Clan contacted an inside agent, and the group infiltrated the insectoid race transporting offerings, disguising themselves as offerings.

At that time, they will not need to go through much trouble; they will be directly sent into the immortal mansion.

Qin Ming and the others then used their supernatural abilities to disguise themselves.

As time goes by.

They entered the dilapidated celestial palace above without making a sound.

Upon entering, they discovered that this once magnificent palace had been completely occupied and devoured by the insectoid race.

Various insectoid species, large and small, nested and multiplied there, growing to an enormous scale.

Countless enormous insect eggs were scattered throughout the palaces and pavilions, and the deeper one went in, the larger the scale of the insect eggs became.

There are simply hundreds of millions, countless.

"Fellow Daoist Yin, if all these insect eggs hatch, the outside world will suffer," Xuan Turtle Divine Lord said to Qin Ming in secret while observing the situation inside the palace.

Qin Ming replied, "I didn't expect that after so many years of development, the insect swarm in the Immortal Abode Secret Realm would have secretly accumulated to such an extent."

Another half day passed.

Qin Ming and the others were transported by the low-level insectoids all the way to the core of the dilapidated palace.

However, something shocking happened.

In the spacious hall ahead, a circular altar over ten zhang high had been erected.

Behind the altar, a crack suddenly appeared, from which countless swarms of insects poured out and entered the hall, appearing quite busy.

Within that enormous void rift, there also seemed to be a spatial wormhole, dark and incredibly deep, its destination unknown.
Just looking at it gives one a sense of extreme danger.

And on the altar in the center of the main hall.

An old woman in a hemp robe was offering various sacrifices inside, including rare and precious materials, immortal jade, and even high-level demonic beasts collected from the immortal abode.

The old woman's cultivation aura clearly indicated that she was at the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, and her body was surrounded by a dense layer of insect filth, clearly indicating that she was a high-level insectoid in human form.

Under her spell, all sorts of demonic beasts were instantly refined and thrown into the altar, turning into streams of blood energy that condensed into runes and flowed onto the nine giant insect eggs surrounding the altar.

These nine insect eggs were all about two zhang in size, and their shells were covered with strange patterns.

The crimson essence, after being sacrificed by the old woman, transformed into tassels that continuously flowed from the altar's array into the nine enormous insect eggs.

All of it turned into nutrients and resources.

As the number of offerings increased, everyone could clearly sense that terrifying and powerful life was being nurtured inside the nine insect eggs.

It is most likely an egg differentiated from that monstrous moth, and it looks like it will be born soon.

Near the nine eggs, there was even a broken eggshell, and the moths inside had disappeared.

Each time the old woman offered a sacrifice to the altar, the insect eggs would shimmer with a bloody light, and their aura would intensify.

at this time.

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers transmitted his voice to Qin Ming and the other person, saying, "In a moment, I will use the great divine power of 'Kaleidoscope Illusion' to put all the insect races in this immortal palace into a deep sleep."

"However, once this method is used, I will be unable to move or be distracted. I will have to leave the rest to you two young friends."

"That insect talisman should be in the void rift behind the altar."

Qin Ming and Xuan Turtle God both nodded secretly upon hearing this.

They had come to realize that the celestial palace had become a giant insect nest, and if they caused any more trouble, they feared they wouldn't be able to escape.

Qin Ming had also traveled to this place but had not seen the Silverwing Frost Bee. He immediately contacted her through telepathy.

"Silverwing, where are you?"

“Master, I am currently hiding inside an insect egg in the main hall, waiting for the right moment to strike.”

"When the spiritual energy tide descends within the Immortal Palace, the primordial power of the ancient moth calamity mother will be born in this Immortal Palace hall."

"At that time, all the insect eggs in this area will hatch."

Silverwing Frost Bee explained to Qin Ming.

In response to her, Qin Ming also sensed the presence of Silverwing on one of the giant insect eggs around the altar.

I don't know how she managed to lie low for so long.

"Alright, I'll go deal with the insect talisman first, and then I'll come back to help you obtain the primordial power of the Mother of Calamity." Qin Ming immediately told her.

Silverwing said, "Master, please be careful. A moth has already been born and entered the void rift."

Qin Ming nodded slightly.

Followed by.

As the old insectoid woman on the altar was performing the priesthood with great fanfare, a strange spiritual plant vine, several tens of feet in size, suddenly sprouted from the offerings below.

A powerful aura of spiritual pressure suddenly descended upon the main hall.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into forbidden territory!!"

The old woman from the insectoid race frowned, sensing the change, and her hoarse voice echoed throughout the hall.

But the next moment.

At the top of that strange spiritual plant, a huge lotus flower bloomed, emitting an extremely terrifying aura that directly surpassed that of the old woman.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of seven-colored light burst forth from the precious lotus, instantly enveloping the entire celestial palace complex.

It transforms into a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors, dazzling and mesmerizing at first glance.

Where the radiance of the precious flower enveloped all the insectoids, it seemed as if they were under some kind of illusion, and they all fell into a deep sleep.

Even the old woman who presided over the sacrificial ceremony revealed her true form, a golden moth, staring blankly at the precious light in the sky, lost in a dream.

Upon witnessing the powerful divine ability of the Myriad Flowers Saint Lord, even Qin Ming couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying strength of her.

In an instant, the previously howling insectoids all fell silent.

"Let's get started without delay."

Elder Tu'e of the Flower Spirit Clan immediately revealed himself and addressed Qin Ming and his companion.

"Let's just destroy these insect eggs to prevent them from causing trouble in the spirit realm." After the Xuan Turtle God Lord came out, he was about to destroy the nine insect eggs.

Elder Tu'e stopped him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Gu, you absolutely must not. The moths inside have been gestating for tens of thousands of years and have already taken shape. Forcibly destroying them will only accelerate the revival of the ancient moths."

"The most urgent task right now is to enter the void rift, destroy the core of the insect rune, and hopefully see if we can block the void wormhole inside."

Qin Ming and the other person nodded immediately, and then followed him, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the crack behind the altar.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Silverwing a few words of advice, telling her to contact him immediately if anything happened. After entering the void rift...

Only then did they realize that the great divine power unleashed by the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers was truly terrifying; even the swarm of insects constantly surging out of the rift space had come to a standstill.

Within this void rift, the situation was almost identical to that of the Insect Valley, with floating islands of varying sizes drifting through it.

However, the islands here are dozens of times larger than those in the Red Water Wasteland Insect Valley.

Looking up, it's like a world suspended in the void.

The floating islands were completely barren, devoid of any life.

The foul stench from the insects here suddenly intensified several times over, suggesting that this is the source of the pollution.

only--

Both Qin Ming and Xuan Turtle Divine Lord were astonished to find that their respective divine sense power had been forcibly suppressed to a mere few feet.

Therefore, the only way to explore the inside is by sight alone.

After a moment's thought, Qin Ming released a swarm of blood mosquitoes to scout ahead.

Even the late-stage sixth-tier Iron-Eating Fire Ant that Yin Lingzi had subdued in the Insect Valley was released.

This insect had never fought the Blue Ice Fairy before and was almost frozen into ice shards; it was Qin Ming who spared its life.

It just comes in handy now.

The Iron-Eating Fire Ant Queen, its body glowing with fire, led the swarm before disappearing as a streak of crimson light.

This scene left Tu'e and Xuan Turtle God in awe.

"Fellow Daoist Yin's methods are indeed superior. Your insect cultivation is perfectly suited to be used here." Seeing this, Xuan Turtle Divine Lord said to Qin Ming, "With Fellow Daoist Yin, who is known as the Insect Demon, here things should be a piece of cake."

"I hope so." Qin Ming nodded slightly.

Before long, the swarm of insects that had gone ahead to scout the situation sent back a message.

According to Qin Ming's mental perception, something seemed to have appeared on one of the purple floating islands, causing the blood mosquito swarm to become extremely excited.

Even the late-stage sixth-order ant queen sent a burst of excitement toward Qin Ming.

"over there."

Qin Ming immediately called to the two of them and they hurried over there.

After a short while, the three of them arrived at the purple floating island.

After some mental sensing, Qin Ming quickly obtained the exact location.

In the center of the floating island stood an altar that resembled a grand hall.

Near the altar stood two enormous, ferocious insects, each over ten feet tall, with different forms: one resembling a mantis, and the other a beetle.
What surprised the three even more was that the auras of both of these ferocious insects were above the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

But I don't know why.

These two ferocious insects were not affected by the great supernatural powers of the Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers, and remained perfectly conscious.

It seems to be because it was relatively close to the purple insect talisman.

Furthermore, those located deep within the rift are less affected by the Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers.

This made Qin Ming and his companions extremely alert.

At the top of the altar, above the array, floated a huge purple crystal core, densely covered with insectoid markings.

Above the void, there are three enormous spatial wormholes, each hundreds of feet in size, from which wisps of purple, foul energy continuously flow and pour into the crystal core.

Qin Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he secretly transmitted his voice to the Flower Spirit Clan elder beside him, asking, "Fellow Daoist Tu, presumably the insectoid sacred object on that altar is the insect talisman you mentioned?"

"It is this thing. As long as we destroy it, we can free our race from the control of the Zerg." Elder Tu'e looked at the altar in the distance, his emotions fluctuating.

The Xuan Turtle God-King's eyes gleamed, and he rested his chin on his hand, secretly transmitting his voice, "But those two ferocious insects are guarding there, and they are not affected by Senior Wan Hua's divine power. It seems that they are not easy to deal with!"

"Fellow Daoist Tu, how long can Senior Wan Hua's illusionary divine power last?" Qin Ming asked, frowning.

Elder Tu'e pondered for a moment and said, "It can probably last for about half a day."

“In that case, we need to act quickly. How about this, Fellow Daoist Gu and I will lure away that sixth-order ferocious insect, while Fellow Daoist Tu will destroy its core. What do you think?” Qin Ming suggested.

Tu'e nodded slightly, agreeing to Qin Ming's plan, but then hesitated slightly and said, "It's quite strange. Logically speaking, there should be an Insect King guarding this place, but it's nowhere to be found. We've traveled all the way here without finding any trace of it."

"Originally, the Holy Lord intended to deal with these fiends personally, since they are beings above the Integration level, which is beyond our ability to handle."

"Could it be that the insect king happens to be outside the insect nest, which makes it convenient for us to carry out our mission?" Xuan Turtle God Lord guessed.

After discussing it among themselves, they stopped worrying about it.

Flying towards the floating island below, Qin Ming and Xuan Turtle God secretly launched a sneak attack on the two ferocious insects.

Qin Ming controlled the swarm of blood mosquitoes and the queen of iron-devouring fire ants, and they pounced towards the mantis-shaped creature.

Xuan Turtle God Lord also summoned his precious turtle with a wave of his hand. The master and servant actually unleashed a rare combined attack technique, and a powerful Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Force exploded near the red beetle!

Rumble!
In an instant, terrifying magical power descended upon the purple floating island.

Squeak!

Caught off guard, the two ferocious insects were suddenly ambushed and severely injured. They let out a painful hiss, and severed limbs fell from their bodies.

Qin Ming's opponent, the ferocious mantis, was also caught off guard. It hadn't expected to be ambushed by the Iron-Eating Fire Ant Queen, a fellow insect, and the Blood Mosquito swarm. It immediately flew into a rage.

However, the creature's reaction speed was truly unbelievable. Its massive body vanished from its original spot in an instant, and its two enormous blade-like forelimbs flashed with green rainbow light and slashed out out of thin air.

With a single strike, a cloud of blood mist burst forth from the center of the swarm of blood mosquitoes, instantly killing and injuring many.

Even one of the Iron-Eating Fire Ant's wings was cut in half, and the crimson flames were immediately extinguished.

The terrifying force of the strike, undiminished, tore through the void and landed on a floating island behind it, instantly cleaving the entire island in two.
Qin Ming gasped upon seeing this.

Clearly, the ferocious insects here are ancient and exotic species. Although they are both at the sixth level, they are many times stronger than the demonic insects outside.

In no time at all, the Iron-Eating Fire Ant Queen that Qin Ming released was utterly crushed by the Mantis.

If things continue like this, not only will they fail to achieve their goal, but the fighting will also awaken the insect swarms inside and outside the area.

Then, they'll be in big trouble.

Qin Ming immediately glanced at the Xuan Turtle God Lord again and found that the guy seemed to be handling things with ease, but for the time being he couldn't do anything to the red beetle.

Ever since.

He transmitted his voice to the Xuan Turtle God:
“Fellow Daoist Gu, since we cannot kill these two ferocious insects in a short time, why don’t we lure them into the depths of the void to buy Fellow Daoist Tu some time?”

The Xuan Turtle God also responded to him tacitly, saying, "I had the same idea. These insects here are tough and hard to deal with."

The words fell.

The two then left the floating islands of insect nests and sped wildly into the depths of the void. The two ferocious insects, completely enraged and bloodthirsty, chased after them.

Elder Tu'e of the Flower Spirit Clan couldn't help but sigh when he saw that their powerful enemy had been drawn away by Qin Ming and his companion.

"You should know that these two ancient ferocious insects were the left and right attendants who accompanied the insect king. I never expected that two human cultivators would be able to contend with them."

He dared not delay the important matter and immediately revealed himself, landing on the altar.

Tu'e's gaze was fixed on the purple crystal core insect talisman, and even her usually calm mind couldn't help but become excited.

"After so many years, we've finally waited for this moment."

Immediately, he opened his mouth and spat out a green emperor sword about an inch long, which transformed into a stream of light and flew out. Then he raised his hand and pointed, and the sharp sword threads slashed straight at the insect talisman.

boom! !

click!
A crisp, cracking sound instantly resounded throughout the entire void rift.
