Chapter 1550: What Nonsense

Yang Ze was astonished. He had seen this sight once before—upon acquiring the first bug monarch, which had displayed this skill.

The sight shocked everyone present.

This was different from that occasion with the bug monarch. There had been tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of dark golden bugs back then; there were only a few dozen of Zhou Ying\'s clones right now. Unlike back then, however, the bug monarch wasn\'t the one who had activated the skill. The tree of life, formed with the bug emperor and Zhou Ying as constituents, had done so.

After being linked to the tree of life into which Zhou Ying had transformed, all of her clones seemed to obtain newfound vitality. Although they had been able to manipulate tremendous amounts of vitality in the past, they were lacking some vital essence in doing so. Now, with this link established, they were rapidly growing more lifelike.

The tree of life into which Zhou Ying had transformed manifested an image of her, which executed [Storm of Leaves: Fourfold Void Cut].

All her clones used the same technique at that instant.

"[Storm of Leaves: Fourfold Void Cut]!"

They clutched two daggers that had manifested out of thin air, and the tendrils to their back materialized two more such daggers. They tore at the void.

The void cuts were interconnected thanks to the link that the bug emperor and Zhou Ying had worked together to forge.

Hundreds of Void Cuts merged together in Zhou Ying\'s image.

Sheng Gu blanched. "What in the world is this?"

The visage of Zhou Ying, formed from hundreds of Void Cuts, stretched an arm out to block Sheng Gu\'s blood spear, The sea of wood exploded in a shower of wood fragments and caused the ancient hall to rumble.

Sheng Gu shouted loudly, imbuing holy light into his blood spear, combining divinity and killing intent to unleash an even more incredible blow. He cut apart the arm of the visage of Zhou Ying, which retaliated by closing in on him and hugging him tightly.

Then, the Void Cuts exploded as the sea of wood churned. An astonishing amount of energy erupted from the point of impact as the ancient hall quaked incessantly. Even Zhou Ying\'s clones were affected.

At the epicenter of the explosion, Sheng Gu lay panting for breath, the arm that had clutched his spear cleanly cut off. Sheng Gu was bruised and battered; golden flames seeped out of his wounds, repairing his body.

Despite the damage, Sheng Gu let out a victorious smile.

He had managed to survive this ultimate technique. He was certain that victory was now his. The next moment, however, he stiffened.

A familiar scene took place before him. Dozens of fruit grew from the tree of life into which Zhou Ying had transformed, as though children were being gestated within. It pulsed with life, and the fruits fell to the ground and released black humanoid lifeforms.

The humanoids were pitch-black all over. They were pitch-black and surrounded by gray fog. Each was filled with vitality and looked like Zhou Ying.

The bug emperor\'s image appeared over the heart of the tree. Glowing green lines of light appeared on the trunk of her tree of life, like vines coiling around it.

The tree of life into which Zhou Ying had transformed manifested an image of her, which executed [Storm of Leaves: Fourfold Void Cut].

All her clones used the same technique at that instant.

The void cuts were interconnected thanks to the link that the bug emperor and Zhou Ying had worked together to forge.

Hundreds of Void Cuts merged together in Zhou Ying\'s image.

Upon seeing the familiar skill unleashed once again, Sheng Gu blanched. "Stay back!"

His wounds had yet to heal; it would be impossible for him to fend off another attack of this magnitude. His body was torn apart into a shower of fragments that made regeneration impossible. He vanished in a shower of light.

After Sun Xiaowu helped Sun Mengmeng take down Feng Xian, the sapphire-blue scorpion\'s stinger appeared out of nowhere. It pierced through the golden runes over Sun Xiaowu\'s body, a toxic spear of incredible sharpness.

Divine armaments manifested over Sun Xiaowu\'s skin as black blood shot dozens of meters into the air. A shrill scream resounded through the ancient hall.

"It worked!" The cultivators were all surprised, either pleasantly or unpleasantly. However, the scream caused them to freeze. That scream had come from... the scorpion.

The scorpion had been speared by the divine armaments. Not only had its sharp stinger failed to overcome Sun Xiaowu\'s defenses, it had even been hurt by the gold-attuned energy that encased them. Its stinger was sent flying, decaying bit by bit until it became nothing more than sludge.

The gold-attuned genetic energy surged into the scorpion\'s carapace through its stinger, causing it to scream in pain as it convulsed madly on the ground. Its carapace broke off bit by bit as the energy ravaged its body.

This was a startling transformation.

Within moments, the scorpion was bleeding from all its orifices.

Sun Xiaowu pulled no punches. He shot over, his fists glowing with light, the visage of a warlord bright at his back. Runes decorated his body, surrounding him like a burning sun.

"I\'ve finally caught you."

The sapphire-blue scorpion skulked in the dark, executing just a single sneak attack before retreating each time. None of the members of Team Zenith had had a chance to counterattack, and there were few opportunities for them to strike it down.

All of Sun Xiaowu\'s clones attacked as one to get rid of such a dangerous opponent.

Unfortunately for the scorpion, its final attack hadn\'t caught its target off-guard and had ultimately resulted in its death. It vanished in a shower of light.

Meanwhile, the jade mantis likewise made its move, taking over for the sapphire-blue scorpion and attempting a sneak attack on him. However, another cultivator stepped in to block the blow and get rid of it, almost as an afterthought.

"[Dance of the Incandescent Wyrm]!"

Li Feng summoned dozens of serpents flaring with blinding light to surround the jade mantis.

The jade mantis attempted to struggle violently, to tear apart the arclight serpents with its scythe-like appendages, but Li Feng appeared right before it.

His fists glowed with light-attuned genetic energy that had manifested in the form of gold. He punched straight through the jade mantis\' head.

The jade mantis was no ordinary opponent. Even with its head obliterated, it hadn\'t died. Its scythes continued to tear apart the arclight dragons.

"[Arclight Dragon\'s Imprint]!"

With a shout, Li Feng waved his left arm, around which a torrent of light-attuned genetic energy was gathering. It took the form of a gigantic dragon\'s claw, a pillar of light.
