Overlord: Insect Eater

Chapter 173 Winning streak
On the square, countless people watched everything that happened on the battle platform through the space light curtain.

The Tianjiao who are in the top [-] of the Holy Pagoda are the objects of everyone's attention, let alone the mysterious airborne worm, which is ranked first.

"This Heavenly Worm is really well-deserved of its reputation. It actually defeated three opponents one after another, and it seems that they are all very easy..." An Earth Supreme looked at the Heavenly Worm who had passed all the way in surprise, and couldn't help but said.

The person next to him had a bad face at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, this guy is really good. His first match was Yan Tong of the Flame Vein, and he was able to crush the opponent in both flames and flesh. It is indeed a big deal!" Unexpectedly, this kid really has the strength to win the championship in this battle, and it is normal for the latter two to lose..."

Well, the person who was defeated by Tian Chong in the third round was the arrogance of this earthly supreme powerhouse, so although he was in a bad mood now, he still had to praise Tian Chong.

"Is that Xuan Chi of Xuanmai? I've heard of his name before, but I didn't expect that after the exploration of the Emperor's Tomb, his strength has improved so much, and now he is second only to that day. And judging by the speed at which it can defeat its opponent, it is even faster than the Celestial Worm!"

"He, he was indeed lucky, but I heard that the luck he got was a bit dirty..."

"Huh? Who did you hear that from?"

"It is said that it flowed from the population of Feiming's lineage. The Tianjiao Feiming who entered the Zonghuang Tomb this time fell into the space of the Zonghuang Tomb..."

The Feiming lineage is only a medium-sized branch lineage of the Spirit Zerg Clan. In the past few hundred years, only this time a Tianjiao was finally qualified to enter the Zonghuang Tomb, but he didn't expect to die in it in the end. One pulse is not a small blow.

Moreover, it is now rumored in the clan that Feiming's fall was related to that Xuancai, and it also made the whole Feiming's vein and Xuanmai very angry.

Tianqiu stood among many supreme powerhouses, looked up at the scene in the space above his head, his gaze was always on Tianchong.

As for the admiration and admiration for the proud son of his family that rang in his ears from time to time, he was also honored to hear it.

Of course, after watching so many battles, Tianqiu has indeed discovered many powerful young people among the contestants this time.

Among them, in Tianqiu's eyes, the one who could pose a threat to the celestial worm was the Xuan Chi, so when he heard someone talking about this person, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened secretly, collecting all useful information.

After defeating five opponents in a row, Tian Chong also obtained eight spiritual seals... and the reason there are only eight is because the fifth opponent saw that his opponent turned out to be the favorite to win this time, Tian Chong, It turned out to be very decisive and directly abstained, and the spiritual seal in his hand was naturally exchanged for a treasure by him, and he did not leave it to the worm at all.

In fact, this was intentionally done by the patriarch of the spirit insects. After all, this benefit is for everyone. As for the rankings that come out later, those who are powerful and rank high will naturally have special rewards, which have nothing to do with these exchange items. conflict.

At this time, Tian Chong's battle stage had already ushered in his sixth challenger.

"Earth veins, earth ants, please enlighten me, brother Tianchong!"

The person who spoke was a strong young man with bronze skin, who came from Earth Leyline, whose information Heavenly Insect also knew. With a lot of chance, his strength leaped to the half-step ninth-rank realm, and the spirit insects he possessed were not trivial.

"Brother Earth Ant is serious, you and I are just competing with each other." Heavenly Insect responded indifferently.

After many battles, everyone has a certain understanding of the opponent's strength, but there are also many people who hide their clumsiness and have not shown their true strength.

This was the case for both Skyworm and Earth Ant on the opposite side, and the early encounter between the two attracted the attention of many people from the outside world.

"The Earth Ant of the Earth Vein was directly ranked No. 11 by the Holy Tower. I didn't expect him to meet that day's insect so early. It's really unlucky..."

Someone saw that the two strong men had met so early, and suddenly felt sorry for the ants.

"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case. Although the ranking gap between the two on the Holy Tower is not small, everyone knows that the difference in combat power between the top ten is not that big. They should also be ranked first, and this earth ant It is the top of the second rank, I believe it is not far behind those of the first rank, it is too early to say the outcome."

This statement has indeed been endorsed and supported by many people.

Now this group of supreme beings is directly divided into two factions, each supporting the person they are optimistic about, and some even put out a bet to bet...

Faced with this kind of provocation, naturally no one would give up, and someone called immediately, which made the outside world lively.

Naturally, the movement here cannot escape the eyes and ears of the high-ranking spirit insect race above. The nine holy sons who came this time are also expressing their views at this time.

"Old Ten, are you so optimistic about that day worm? You know that 300 million Supreme Spiritual Liquid is not a small amount, are you sure you want to bet with me?"

Looking at the stubborn Tenth Son Chong Yang opposite, the Eighth Son gently shook the golden silk and jade bone fan in his hand, and smiled jokingly.

Chong Yang snorted coldly, and said without showing any weakness: "Three million supreme spiritual liquids, my mighty tenth holy son can still get them out, I don't believe that one who chooses No. 300 of the Holy Tower can defeat No. 11!"

"Okay! Then I will gamble with you this time!" The Eighth Son said decisively.

Regarding the bet between the two, the others naturally watched happily.

In fact, there is not much difference in age between the fourth holy son and the next few holy sons. They were all selected by many clan elders and many bloodline masters in recent years.

The only ones who really stood out from the snatching battle were the top three holy sons, and they all became holy sons before the leader of the spirit insects retreated.

"Hehe, it seems that these little guys are all competitive people..." The third holy son looked at the farce below and just said something with a chuckle.

The second holy son beside him closed his eyes slightly, ignoring everything in the outside world.

It was the Great Saint Son who opened his eyes that were as bright as stars and said calmly: "How can you be brave and diligent in cultivation if you are not competitive! Third brother, you have been slacking off in recent years, and you have not yet broken through to the supreme level... "

"Well, what you are saying, brother, is that I will go into seclusion after this time is over. I believe that within half a year I will be able to break through to the supreme realm and reach the Great Perfection state."

The age gap between the three of them is very different, so the third son is still in awe of this "big brother" on weekdays.

Nodding his head, the Dashengzi also closed his eyes. He was not interested in the battle of the little guys above his head.

At this moment on the battle stage, after the ceremony, the two of Tian Chong started fighting without any nonsense.

The spirit worm of the ground ant is a nine-tailed ground scorpion of the eighth rank supreme... This is a powerful guy, no matter in terms of bloodline or potential, it is only second to the ancient sky dragon centipede.

Tian Chong also became a little dignified, and the ancient Tianlong centipede above his head also let out a roar at this time, as if he was enraged by the strange scorpion with nine tails on the opposite side.

Rumble!
The ancient Celestial Dragon Centipede began to have a shocking crimson spiritual power erupting, dyeing the sky red, and the temperature between the heaven and the earth rose rapidly at this time.

sizzle!
The nine-tailed ground scorpion did not show any weakness either, its nine tails were like nine pitch-black giant dragons, entrenched in the void, eyeing the ancient sky dragon centipede.

War is imminent!
The next moment, a dragon chant resounded through the sky, and the ancient Celestial Dragon Centipede, who had won consecutive battles, didn't have the patience to confront the opponent. , swept away towards the nine-tailed ground scorpion.

Wherever the dragon's breath passed, all the space was shattered, showing extremely overbearing destructive power.

But what Tian Chong didn't expect was that the nine-tailed ground scorpion also had amazing means. When two huge chelicer limbs smashed on the ground, a strong khaki spiritual power suddenly condensed into a huge shield, covering the other Protected in it.

boom!boom!
The dragon's breath swept across and bombarded the Nine-Tailed Scorpion's protective cover, sparks flew everywhere, and the ripples spread wildly, crumbling.

"Hmph, just this little power? Do you want to break my Nine-Tailed Ground Scorpion magical power?" The ground ant sneered when he saw that the dragon's breath was blocked.

Tian Chong's expression didn't fluctuate at all. The opponent was obviously different from the one he had beaten in seconds. He didn't expect to defeat the opponent with just his ancient Tianlong centipede. The real battle began next.

Tian Chong narrowed his eyes slightly, then clenched his fists tightly, and the dark golden spiritual power gushed out crazily, and then came to the ground ant in a flash, ready to deal with the opponent's spirit insect master first by himself.

"Hmph, I've been on guard against you for a long time!"

Earth Ant watched Tian Chong rely on his strong body to bully others again. There was no panic on his face. Instead, he showed a smile of success.

boom!
The moment his smile appeared, the entire battle stage shook, and then bursts of ear-piercing screams resounded throughout the battle space, and many people even felt their souls being stabbed.

Jiutiao's phoenix head, which was completely condensed with spiritual power, rushed out from that huge piece of spiritual light, and within a split second, it had already arrived in front of the celestial insect.

"Um?!"

Tian Chong was also taken aback by this scene, especially when he felt that the sharp beak like a phoenix bird was coming straight to his chest, which made him forcefully twist his body in mid-air to avoid it. this attack.

But there is not only one beak, but nine!

At such a close distance, even though the Heavenly Insect's reaction was astonishing, its speed was astonishing, and its spiritual power exploded, it was still pecked fiercely by the phoenix beak a few times.

When Tian Chong rushed out of the nine phoenix heads, there were already mottled bloodstains on his body.

Frowning slightly, Tian Chong looked at his body at this time.

Although I have a strong resilience, there is a special energy constantly eroding these wounds at this time, making my wounds unable to recover.

"That's... a phoenix?"

Tian Chong was a little puzzled, but quickly denied his guess.

This should also be a powerful spirit insect with the blood of the phoenix like the dragon and centipede clan.

It's just that after careful observation, Tian Chong discovered that the nine phoenix heads were not entities, but a kind of existence similar to real spirits, which was one of the reasons why he was so lightly injured after being pecked just now.

"Judging from the level of spiritual power alone, the spirit body is only equivalent to the realm of the middle stage of the ninth rank, but I didn't expect its combat power to be so strong."

Tian Chong secretly analyzed it in his heart.

"Jinchan, maybe you can recognize what the hell is that on the other side?"

After a moment of silence, Jin Chan's surprised voice sounded in Tian Chong's ear.

"Huh, it turned out to be an ancient nine-headed worm? Does this thing still exist?"

Ancient nine-headed worm!
Tian Chong's expression changed, he had heard of this name before.

According to the records in the ancient books of the family, the ancient nine-headed worm was a powerful ancestral insect emperor comparable to the supreme level of heaven in ancient times. He was born to control the power of nine attributes in the world, and he has an immortal body. As long as there is a head, he can regain his peak. State, it can be said that it is a kind of Zerg that is so powerful that it is abnormal.

However, this thing has fallen long before the invasion of the evil race from outside the territory. It can be regarded as a strong man of the same generation as the previous generation of the Six-winged Golden Cicada. I heard that the person who killed it was still a big shot, probably one of the Nine Emperors back then...

According to the records of the spirit insect tribe, the ancient nine-headed worm was killed outside, so its body and true spirit were not in the spirit insect tribe, and it is not known how the ground ants got it.

Moreover, if this is really the true spirit of the ancient nine-headed worm back then, even after tens of thousands of years, it is unlikely that it only has the strength of the Nine-Headed Supreme, right?

Therefore, Tian Chong prefers to believe that this is a powerful worm emperor with the blood of the ancient nine-headed worm.

Well, if it's just like this, it will be easier to accept and more in line with reality.

But no matter what the truth is, the problem that Tian Chong is facing now is to solve this problem, whether it is the real ancient Nine-Headed Insect or just the blood of the ancient Nine-Headed Insect, anyway, it only has the spiritual power realm of the middle-stage Ninth-Rank Supreme now , it is no problem to solve it.

As soon as he raised his hand, the Black Flame Sword, which had not been used by Tian Chong for a long time, reappeared in Tian Chong's palm.

Afterwards, a terrifying sword intent soared into the sky, and soon fell directly on Tian Chong's body. Under the blessing of this, Tian Chong's breath also increased to the level of the peak of the eighth rank, and the sword intent on his body directly overwhelmed Tian Chong. The entire void was torn into smooth cracks.

"Destroy the sword lotus!"

With a finger of the Black Flame Sword, the infinite sword energy began to condense crazily, and a dark lotus flower like a crystal of several hundreds of meters bloomed on the battle platform, making the whole battle platform psychedelic against the background.
