Overlord: Insect Eater

Chapter 240 Before Departure
With the Spider Lady Death Emperor, the Celestial Insects and the Spirit Insect Tribe grew up in the Insect World.

After explaining a few more words to Tian Chong, the leader of the Ling Zhong clan hurriedly returned to the clan's main hall. He was going to immediately summon all the senior leaders of the Ling Zhong clan to announce Tian Chong's new identity...

Tian Chong didn't pay too much attention to this. Now he has been regretting in his heart that he has such a powerful spiritual insect as a guard in vain, but he can't really use it for himself. It's really a pity!
"I don't know if I can sign a contract with this Death Emperor..."

That is the Death Spider King. In ancient times, he was the group with the most talented bloodline among the Zerg. Nowadays, there are probably no spiritual insect species that can compare with it in the insect world. For such a rare spirit insect, which spirit insect can't be compared with it? The insect master can resist the temptation.

Glancing at the cold figure beside him, Tianchong could only silently keep this idea in his heart.

After returning to his Holy Palace again, Tianchong found that the original puppet guards in the Holy Palace had been reduced a lot. After asking, he found out that there was something unusual at the border of the Golden Stone Domain, and Zhan Puppet Li had sent someone to bring the puppet guards inside the palace. The puppet army went to support the Ancestor of All Insects.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhan Puppet Li had to take his own manpower to speed up the production of new war puppets, he would have taken the people himself.

Su Qingyin looked at the combination of the Heavenly Insect and the Death Emperor, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and first recounted what happened in the Holy Palace in the past few days.

"Haha, it seems that some people can't wait any longer. In this case, give an order to the Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Chongs, telling him not to be polite, and anyone who dares to provoke will be severely punished!" Tian Chong chuckled and ordered Su Qingyin.

"Yes!" Su Qingyin bowed and quickly walked out of the hall.

After leaving these things to the people below, Tianchong continued to calculate the power in his hands at this time.

"In addition to the golden cicada, the spiritual insects in my hand that have reached the realm of insect emperors now include the Holy Butterfly Emperor, the Ice Spirit Butterfly Emperor, and the Earth Flame Scorpion Emperor. The ancient Heavenly Dragon Centipede has been trained by Master Long, and it will definitely be the same after it comes back. To be able to become the Insect King, now the only one in my hand who is qualified for promotion is the Iron-backed Dragon Centipede."

"In addition to these spiritual insects that have signed a contract with me, the only thing left that I can use is a lava stone beetle emperor that has broken through the earth supreme realm. Plus the death emperor beside me, there should be no one under the heaven supreme. There are other dangers.”

"Even if we encounter those demon kings from outside the evil tribe in the ancient holy abyss, with the demon-suppressing stone strengthened by Emperor Yan, it is enough to easily deal with it..."

Very good, this way, my trip to the ancient holy abyss can be guaranteed to be foolproof.

Of course, as for what he can get from the ancient holy abyss this time, to be honest, Tianchong himself is not sure.

But thinking about the plot in the ancient holy abyss in the original work, Tianchong has already made up his mind that he must at least obtain the inheritance of one of the four holy heavenly supremes to make this trip worthwhile.

"There are still nearly two years left, and we will strive to break through to another level during this period!"

However, now is not the time to go into seclusion, because the head of the Spirit Insect Clan has told him before that he should wait for news at any time. Maybe the clan will announce his identity as the first heir soon. At this time, he is the protagonist. Of course you can't be absent.

The leader of the Spirit Insect Clan moved very quickly this time. It only took a day for someone to come and pass the news. At this moment, all the senior leaders of the Spirit Insect Clan were waiting for the appearance of the Celestial Insect in the clan's meeting hall.

It has to be said that Tian Chong's incredible breakthrough speed is really too amazing. When they saw Tian Chong's cultivation at this moment, the elders who originally had some objections to the clan leader's order suddenly stopped and there was no more any objections.

Those who are able to do this know very well what such a genius means to their Zerg race, so even the elders who were somewhat selfish before faced a real decision that could affect the entire race. He made the choice he deserved with a clear understanding of justice.

Maybe the only ones who really can't let go are the remaining eleven Holy Sons...

After all, everyone originally had the same identity and had the opportunity to sit on that supreme position, but now suddenly a latecomer came up from behind and took away their opportunity. Even though they understood the gap between the two parties, they still felt unconvinced. There will be.

It's a pity that although their status is still very high now, they are no longer as important as before, so the right to speak of these saint sons has been reduced a lot.

Tianchong silently glanced at these guys who were originally sitting above him, but now they can only succumb to him, except for the most powerful No. 11 Holy Son and the youngest No. [-] Holy Son. , although the others all had complicated expressions, they were the first to nod at him, which also meant that they recognized the fact that Tianchong was stronger than themselves and others.

The First Holy Son looked at the Celestial Chong with stern eyes, stood up in front of everyone, and said: "Clan Leader, I request a competition with the Celestial Chong!"

He has sat in the position of the First Holy Son for hundreds of years, and he can't just ask him to give up.

What's more, he didn't think that if they were both supreme beings, this Celestial Insect would really be stronger than him!

The leader of the Spirit Insect clan frowned immediately when he heard this.

To be honest, before the Celestial Insect appeared, he was actually more optimistic about the No. 11 Holy Son. Even the No. [-] Holy Son, the only one with seven divine veins in the clan, was not good in his opinion.

Perhaps because he was praised too highly by his natural divine veins and he was still young, the No. 11 Holy Son was too arrogant and perverse. If he wanted to take on a big responsibility, he would have to train for a long time.

That is to say, the cultivation level of the current No. 11 Holy Son is not high yet, and it may take a few years to break through to the supreme level. Otherwise, the one who jumps out to challenge at this time may not be the No. [-] Holy Son.

"Tian Chong, what do you think?" The spirit insect clan leader turned to Tian Chong and asked.

Tian Chong chuckled, shrugged, and said casually: "Okay, I think there must be more people here who want to see my strength. That's just right."

"Okay, I agree to your competition, but remember, don't hurt anyone's life until the point is reached!"

This was mainly said to the Heavenly Insect. Apparently the leader of the Spirit Insect was afraid that he would feel unhappy, so he directly beat the First Holy Son to death...

Naturally, Tianchong understood the look in the eyes of the leader of the Lingzhong clan, and immediately smiled and nodded imperceptibly.

He is not a murderous maniac. How could he kill his own people casually...

The First Holy Son took a deep breath, looked at the Celestial Insect with burning eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me!"

Tian Chong raised the corner of his mouth and showed a calm smile.

This appearance directly made the First Holy Son angry, and he swung his fist and was about to hit the heavenly insect...

But what everyone didn't expect was that before the fist of the First Holy Son was swung out, the figure of the Heavenly Insect appeared in front of him at some unknown time, with what looked like the sharpest sword in the world. It hit directly between the former's eyebrows.

If he only needs to move forward even one millimeter, the sword finger of the Sky Worm can directly pierce the skull of the First Holy Son and kill him directly.Such an unbelievable scene made everyone uproar, and as the opponent, the First Holy Son, his whole body was frozen in place, and his raised fist seemed so weak at this time.

"I... lost!"

It took a long time for the First Holy Son to wake up from his daze.

But at this time, all the aura in his body had disappeared, his whole person had no energy, and even the spiritual power in his body was unstable.

"If I go, I won't be too much of a blow and go crazy, right?" Tian Chong was shocked and couldn't help but said when he looked at the state of the First Holy Son across from him.

However, after being the Holy Son for so many years, his mentality is still very stable. Finally, half an hour later, the First Holy Son stabilized his mentality and did not let his consciousness slide into the bottomless abyss in desire.

Looking at the people around him, the First Holy Son calmed down and said loudly: "I lost this competition. The Heavenly Insect Holy Son's talent and strength are much better than mine. Let him become the number one of our Spirit Insect Tribe." I have no objection to an heir!"

"Moreover, Mr. Patriarch, I have decided to give up my identity as the Holy Son and join the clan's elders..."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding commotion was even greater than when they just saw Tian Chong's easy victory.

The words of the First Holy Son are tantamount to telling everyone that he has given up on the struggle for succession... After becoming an elder, he will completely lose the qualification to inherit the position of patriarch!
"Have you thought it through?" The spirit insect clan leader couldn't help but asked seriously.

"I have thought it through." The First Holy Son replied with a firm voice.

"Okay, if that's the case, then you join the group of elders and become a law enforcement elder..."

Obviously, the leader of the Spirit Insect clan still gave some preferential treatment to the First Holy Son. There are hundreds of elders in the Spirit Insect clan elders, all of whom are at the Great Perfection level, but there are only fifteen law enforcement elders. The Supreme First Son became No. 16, which shows that they still value him very much.

After this small episode, no one doubted Tianchong's strength and talent, and his identity as the first heir was quickly spread by the main and branch lineage masters.

Naturally, some people are happy and some are sad about this...

The main veins and branch veins, such as Tianmai and Xuemai, which have an unusual relationship with heavenly insects, are naturally very excited.

And those who can't deal with the Celestial Insects like the Earth Veins are like losing their wives.

"Pass this order, from today on, we people in the Earth Line are not allowed to have any contact with the Gold Vein or Stone Vein." The Earth Line Master issued his order with a gloomy face.

Obviously, with Tian Chong's current identity and strength, even the Earth Veins Master did not dare to continue provoking the other party, and the gold veins and stone veins that were the pawns were naturally given up and turned into cannon fodder.

Tian Chong didn't pay attention to these trivial matters at all and just left them to Su Qingyin to deal with.

He himself entered the Nine Realms Tower for retreat as soon as he returned to the Holy Palace.

"Now that the seventh floor is ready to be replaced, let's let it exert its last remaining heat..." Tianchong looked at the empty seventh space and whispered to himself.

After the words fell, Tianchong waved his sleeves, and the originally dark seventh space suddenly had a dazzling aura condensed into substance. This was a real aura, a manifestation of spiritual power condensed into substance...

hum.

The spiritual light roared down, and when it came into contact with the Heavenly Insect's Heavenly Spirit Cap, it instantly turned into billowing spiritual power, pouring directly into his body in an initiation-like manner.

The sudden infusion of such condensed spiritual power directly caused the Celestial Insect's body to move towards its crystallized form.

This means that the Celestial Insect's Golden Cicada Reincarnation Technique has broken through to the seventh level, and its spiritual power itself has a very strong devouring attribute. Otherwise, if it is imbued in this way, it will definitely support most of the upper-level supreme beings. Explosion, or flesh and blood spiritualization, melting into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The advantage of this approach is that while the Celestial Insect's body is constantly being washed away by spiritual power, it becomes pure and dirt-free. Although it cannot be said to be dirt-free, it can still be regarded as pure and flawless.

There is even a refreshing fragrance coming out of the Tianchong's body at this moment... It's a bit like ginseng fruit.

I don't know how long this spiritual light wash lasted. When Tian Chong opened his eyes again, he found that the surrounding space had become somewhat dilapidated.This is not a failure caused by the passage of time, but a failure caused by the loss of inspiration.

Although this does not have much impact on the space itself, it will no longer be suitable for cultivation until it is replaced by new space fragments...

"Half-step to the Great Perfection, it seems that the remaining spiritual power in the seventh space alone cannot support me to completely break through the Great Perfection."

Of course, he could choose to continue to the eighth or even ninth floor to seek a breakthrough, but Tianchong did not do so because he could feel that what he lacked now was not spiritual power...

Maybe he only needs to go through a real battle, and he can naturally break through to the state of Dzogchen, but this requires strong enough and intense pressure from the outside world.

While the Celestial Chong was preparing for the upcoming Ancient Holy Abyss, Muchen who was far away in the Ten Thousand Island Continent was also doing the same thing.

Although he no longer had the opportunity to be a son of the mainland, Muchen still succeeded in breaking through to the upper level Supreme, and finally, with the help of Long Xiang and Ling Xi, who were half-step into the Great Perfection realm, he successfully arrived at Bi Ling Island.

It has to be said that although Qing Yanjing's appearance in Xitian Continent exposed Muchen's identity and position and made him appear in front of the ancient Futu clan, it also brought him a lot of benefits.

Those strong men who had been favored by Qing Yanjing all set off at this moment, and came to Muchen's side without hesitation, just like Long Xiang and Ling Xi, who went to help him regardless of danger.

With the help of the spiritual formation left by his mother, Muchen himself successfully mastered the Flame Glory Formation, one of the two spiritual formations left by his mother.

This is a genuine high-level grandmaster spiritual formation. Even if a strong Dzogchen master faces this formation head-on, it will be difficult to win. This greatly enhances Muchen's combat power...

As for the other one, it was a terrifying spiritual formation at the grand master level. Even Muchen was frightened when he saw this formation, and it would definitely be unusable for the time being.
