Chapter 705 [704] A Crushing Defeat, the God-Slaying Scythe Mantis

The Dead Marsh Realm.

“Boom!”

The flames from the explosion of arcane weapons did not damage the base, nor did they harm the Firm Wood in the slightest.

The reason was simple: the Firm Wood Barrier.

This magical force field firmly blocked the flames outside.

However.

The force field did not last long.

The insect swarm easily broke through the force field's interior.

The method of breakthrough was simple: uncontrolled constructs directly crashed into the force field.

Under normal circumstances.

Before the Firm Wood Barrier force field dissipated, the insect swarm would not be able to approach at all.

But the Firm Wood had a problem: its reaction was not fast enough.

Therefore, the force field could recognize the Calamity Insects, but it failed to identify the constructs controlled by the insects, and instead allowed the latter to enter the force field.

Subsequently.

“Boom!”

Several uncontrolled constructs exploded.

A large amount of black gas rapidly spread out, enveloping other constructs that had not yet been activated, the number of which was no less than a thousand.

Thus.

All the constructs in a base were controlled by the insect swarm.

Then.

The insect swarm, in turn, used the constructs to wreak havoc on the Firm Wood.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Arcane weapons exploded one after another.

“Buzz~”

The entire giant tree trembled.

Multiple locations on the crown were ignited by transcendent flames.

A large number of branches and leaves were broken off and fell directly into the swamp below.

At this point.

The Firm Wood Barrier force field was finally shaken.

“Buzz!”

The Firm Wood shook violently.

One of Cheng Han's clones watched this scene and sighed inwardly.

With the power of the Life Crown arcane seal, he instinctively knew that the giant tree's trembling had a name: the Firm Wood's Lament.

As a highly spiritual transcendent species, when the Firm Wood realized that its own destiny was coming to an end, it would emit this lament.

A moment later.

Within the invisible force field, cracks appeared.

Although invisible to the naked eye, the insect swarm's senses were very keen, and they immediately noticed the existence of the cracks.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

Sharp hissing sounds rang out.

A large swarm of midge insects, which had been spying for a long time, immediately swarmed over, quickly passing through the cracks and entering the interior of the force field.

They flew back and forth around the giant tree, quickly searching for the control cabin hidden inside the tree trunk, and then launched a frenzied attack.

The personnel stationed in this Firm Wood, including hundreds of arcanists and hundreds of warriors, then ushered in their final fate.

Cheng Han lowered his eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer.

With a thought, his figure disappeared.

This was not because he was a cold-blooded bystander who refused to help.

Even if he went all out, he would not be able to change the fate of these people, and he might even put himself in danger.

According to the deduction results of the All-Knowing Eye.

Deep in the poisonous swamp, an unprecedentedly large insect swarm had already gathered.

There was even an abnormally terrifying force.

This was very likely to be a powerful insect that had not yet shown its face: a god-level Calamity Insect.

This was also the reason why he decisively left.

Behind him.

Blood and fire.

Still continued.

Five minutes later.

A figure emerged from a secret passage, flying into the sky in a panic.

It was the arcanist who guarded the Firm Wood.

Relying on his powerful strength, this person forcibly fought his way out of the insect swarm.

Unfortunately, the arcanist still failed to escape his doom.

“Woo! Woo!”

A sharp whistling sound rang out.

Hundreds of tail needles shot towards the arcanist from all directions.

Sensing the danger, this person roared and waved his right hand violently.

The tail needles were deflected by an invisible force and swept past from the side.

However.

The insect swarm's attack was only a feint, the main purpose was not to attack, but to hold back the arcanist's steps.

The truly fatal attack came from another giant insect.

Thirty kilometers away.

“Splash!”

A large area of swamp water churned.

A behemoth revealed its outline.

This was actually: the Eye of Destruction.

The giant eyeball of this thing flickered, and a wisp of black gas shot out, speeding towards the arcanist like lightning.

On the other side.

Just as the black gas appeared.

The arcanist, relying on a secret technique, instantly sensed that death was coming.

A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he unhesitatingly raised his palm and struck his own head.

“Bang!”

His head exploded.

Red and white matter fell like raindrops below.

The next moment.

A black light flashed and hit the arcanist's corpse.

The corpse's stomach rapidly swelled, and then burst open with a "pop", a small eyeball wriggling, trying to crawl out.

This was undoubtedly the larva of the Eye of Destruction.

The small eyeball only wriggled a few times before stopping.

This was because the arcanist's self-destruction prevented the larva from obtaining enough soul power, and it died as soon as it was born.

But.

For the insect swarm.

This was just a minor imperfection.

They had won a great victory.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

Sharp hissing sounds echoed in the sky, containing full of joy.

Ten minutes later.

An even more magnificent scene occurred.

“Rumble!”

A loud noise.

The swamp seemed to be boiling.

A huge amount of black water, mixed with foul-smelling silt, flew into the sky.

The burning Firm Wood could no longer support itself, and crashed into the swamp with a bang.

A few seconds later.

“Boom! Boom!”

Loud noises rang out one after another.

Within a radius of one hundred kilometers.

This vast swamp seemed to have turned into a volcano, erupting violently, with thousands of black water columns rising into the sky in an instant.

Each water column was mixed with a large number of small black dots, which were Calamity Insects.

Obviously.

The insect swarm had been preparing for a long time, and finally launched a full-scale counterattack.

In just a few minutes.

The Firm Wood in the eruption area was all submerged by the insect swarm.

The construct legions deployed in the Firm Wood were either forced to self-destruct, or they were all contaminated and controlled, turning into weapons of the insect swarm.

The construct legions, which had previously performed brilliantly and achieved great results, now had almost no resistance.

All of this.

Vividly demonstrated a term: a crushing defeat.

The above.

Perfectly matched Cheng Han's expectations.

At this moment.

He used the second-tier Empty Expanse arcane seal to continuously perform space shuttles, and had already withdrawn three thousand kilometers away.

He looked into the distance, and seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be promising: "We will definitely return to this small world."

Since the Calamity Insect swarm had come up with the means to contaminate constructs, the complete defeat of the Myriad Hao race was inevitable.

If he was right.

With the nature of the Heaven Slaughter Divine Monarch, seeing that things could not be done, he would definitely decisively order a full retreat in order to minimize his own losses as much as possible.

For a considerable period of time in the future.

The power of the Myriad Hao race would no longer enter the Dead Marsh Realm.

*

Above the sky.

The Myriad Puppet Divine General's face became increasingly ugly.

At this point.

How could He not know that the construct strategy He had led had completely failed, and His dream of entering the Supreme Divine Court had also turned into a bubble.

Standing next to Him, the Light Shuttle Divine General, facing this sudden change, also had a look of astonishment on His face.

With His eyesight, He could naturally see that this battle was considered to be over ahead of schedule.

The Myriad Puppet Divine General's old face was really a bit unsustainable.

A flash of stern light flashed in the Divine General's divine eyes, and extremely majestic divine power fluctuations surged throughout His body.

The next moment.

His figure blurred for a moment, and a dozen Divine Generals actually walked out of His body, falling towards the swamp like meteors.

The appearance and form of each Divine General were exactly the same as His own, but there was no expression on their faces, looking quite wooden.

This was precisely the Myriad Puppet Divine General's specialty: the Divine Puppet Technique.

Each Divine Puppet could easily create tens of thousands of puppets.

Obviously.

In order to slightly recover some face, the Myriad Puppet Divine General planned to attack the insect swarm.

On the battlefield.

The Divine General's divine might was displayed vividly.

Each Divine Puppet was seen rushing into the insect swarm like lightning, waving their hands repeatedly.

Invisible strings shot out from the Divine Puppet's body, accurately hitting every Calamity Insect within a radius of ten kilometers.

Once an insect was hit, it would instantly lose consciousness and completely become the Divine Puppet's puppet.

In that instant.

More than one hundred thousand Calamity Insects became puppets controlled by the Divine General.

In just a few seconds.

More than a dozen Divine Puppets shot out at the same time, turning more than a million insects into puppets, and then manipulating the puppet insects to attack the Calamity Insect swarm.

For a time.

A civil war broke out in the insect swarm.

Countless insects killed each other, and scenes of flesh and blood flying everywhere could be seen on the battlefield.

Even a powerful Eye of Destruction failed to resist the erosion of the Divine Puppet's power and became the Divine General's tool, frantically slaughtering the insect swarm.

The giant eyeball frequently shot out black gas, wherever it passed, the Calamity Insects' bodies swelled with fleshy tumors, and then exploded with a bang.

Looking down from the sky.

The Myriad Puppet Divine General, with His own strength, forcibly curbed the spread of the insect tide.

*

Far away.

Cheng Han immediately noticed the changes on the battlefield.

He immediately performed a deduction, watching the live broadcast through the halo.

The scene that caught his eye.

Made Cheng Han "hiss" a sound: "What a powerful puppet technique, the 'Myriad Puppet' name is truly well-deserved!"

For him.

Watching this battle was a huge gain.

The knowledge extracted from it could just improve his Secret Puppet Technique.

However.

Cheng Han did not have much joy, but shook his head: "Besides stimulating the insect swarm to accelerate its evolution, doing so is not very useful."

He turned to look in the direction of the battlefield, and muttered in a low voice: "The god-level Calamity Insect has probably already set its sights on the Myriad Puppet Divine General."

The game between god-level powerhouses, especially emphasizes "first move".

In the case of similar strength differences.

If one side takes the first move, it can completely suppress the other side.

The Myriad Puppet Divine General personally took action to suppress the insect swarm, which was equivalent to actively exposing Himself.

This objectively gave the other party a chance to "make the first move".

Soon.

Cheng Han's guess was confirmed.

The halo screen suddenly blurred.

An extremely terrifying wave came from the direction of the battlefield, instantly sweeping across tens of thousands of kilometers.

The long-dormant god-level insect finally couldn't help but take action.

Cheng Han immediately saw a wisp of black light rising into the sky from the distance, rising to the high sky at an unimaginable speed.

At the same time.

The halo screen changed accordingly, showing a blurred insect shadow.

Its shape was somewhat similar to a beetle, and its body looked round.

It had as many as four pairs of forearms, each forearm shaped like a scythe.

The All-Knowing Eye gave a piece of information in a timely manner, pointing out the name of the beetle: God-Slaying Scythe Mantis.

The word "God-Slaying" in it made Cheng Han's heart slightly startled.
