Chapter 333 Destroying the Mother
A flash of starlight.
The next moment, the swarm of insects, the dragon soul, and the projection of that starry sky all vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Only the faint starlight remaining in the same spot, not yet completely dissipated, proved that the breathtaking scene just now was not an illusion.
Li Ang knew that Galakrond had used his own power to pull the swarm of insects in that area, as well as the dragon souls that responded to the summons, into the [Starry Sky Domain] that he maintained alone.
There, the dragon souls will gain physical form and fight the swarm of insects.
"Thank you—" Li Ang said silently in his heart, paying his deepest respects to the remaining starlight and to all the dragon souls that responded to the summons.
All obstacles have been removed!
The silver-white giant's body rapidly shrank, returning to its normal human form. Without hesitation, Li Ang created a layer of [Gentle Breeze Barrier] around himself, transforming into a streak of bluish-black light, and shot into the exit that was no longer teeming with insects but still exuded an ominous aura!
The underground passages were intricate and covered with traces of erosion by some kind of viscous, dark red fleshy fungus, and the air was filled with a pungent, sour smell.
Large swarms of insects continued to pour out from the depths of the passage, but often, as soon as they appeared, they were swept away by a starlight and disappeared without a trace. This was Galakrond clearing the last obstacles for him while fighting within the domain.
Feeling grateful, Li Ang increased his speed. The appearance of the swarm of insects not only did not hinder him, but also provided him with a direction to move forward. He followed the direction in which the swarm appeared and traveled down for an unknown amount of time before the view ahead suddenly opened up.
A colossal, suffocating underground cavern appeared before them. The cavern's walls, floor, and ceiling were completely covered by a writhing, blood vessel-covered, dark red fleshy fungal carpet, as if the entire space were the entrails of a living behemoth. In the center of the cavern, an indescribable behemoth was coiled.
It was a pale white giant worm that was over several thousand meters long and nearly a hundred meters in diameter. It had no obvious eyes or mouthparts, and its body was like a giant fleshy sac that was constantly wriggling and contracting, with its surface covered with densely packed oviposition pores.
At this moment, countless incomplete, wet, black insect eggs are being rapidly squeezed out of those holes and land on the fungal carpet on the ground. The fungal carpet immediately secretes mucus to coat them and catalyzes them at a visible speed. In just over ten seconds, a new giant insect breaks out of its "cocoon" and rushes towards the passage above the hole with a hiss.
Li Ang's arrival made the giant insect mother sense the threat. Its huge body trembled violently and then emitted a sharp, piercing cry, like the simultaneous wailing of millions of babies!
Then its egg-laying speed increased again, and some egg-laying pores even burst due to excessive pressure, splashing out foul-smelling green fluid, but it didn't care, and more eggs were produced frantically.
"This shouldn't be the Queen—it's the mother of the vanguard." Li Ang's eyes were cold. In the fragments of his memory, the shadow that merged with the planet was far larger and more terrifying than what was in front of him.
Without the slightest hesitation, the [Grace Ring] on Li Ang's left ring finger burst forth with silver light!
"Drink one!"
The silver-white giant reappeared. This time, he pushed his power to the limit, but even with his hundred-meter-tall body, he still appeared somewhat small in front of this enormous mother. He raised his magic wand high, and the light of [Dragon Breath Slash] began to gather.
However, the mother body, which was thousands of meters long, was simply too enormous. One after another, blazing white dragon breath blades, powerful enough to tear through steel, slashed at it, cutting open terrifying wounds hundreds of meters long. Green bodily fluids poured out like waterfalls, and severed limbs and tissues flew everywhere.
But the mother's vitality was incredibly tenacious. The flesh and blood at the wound site regenerated and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the rate of egg release did not decrease at all, and even became faster due to the stimulation of the injury. These insects fearlessly pounced on the silver giant. Although they were easily crushed or evaporated by magic, they were still consuming Li Ang's energy.
This won't do. Conventional attacks are too inefficient against its massive size and might even spur it into an even more frenzied breeding state.
Its core must be completely destroyed in one strike!
Li Ang's eyes sharpened, and he stopped his continuous [Dragon Breath Slash]. His vast spiritual power and magic no longer pursued sharpness and cutting, but began to compress, condense, and merge inward to an extreme degree!
The forces of wind, water, and thunder were forcibly bound together with a precision far exceeding any previous binding, causing them to interact, amplify, and ultimately trigger a qualitative change!
At the tip of the wand, a point of blue-white light appeared, initially only the size of a pinhead, then rapidly expanded like a supernova explosion!
Ten meters - fifty meters - one hundred meters -
Finally, a blue-white, fiery sphere, over 150 meters in diameter and beyond description, hovered before the silver giant's wand!
The surface of the sphere was crackling with destructive plasma arcs, and inside was unimaginable high temperature and pressure. The energy fluctuations it emitted caused the rock walls of the entire underground cavity to tremble and crack, and the fungal carpet covering it was instantly charred and carbonized!
This was the result of pushing the principles of [Dragon's Breath Slash] to their extreme. The nearly solidified, ultra-high-density energy collapse matrix felt a fatal threat and emitted the most mournful and piercing cry in history. All the oviposition pores and wounds simultaneously spewed out a massive number of insect eggs, and even some of the body tissue began to dissolve on its own, attempting to transform into a defensive flesh and blood barrier. At the same time, the entire massive body began to desperately burrow into the depths of the fungal carpet, trying to escape.
"It's too late."
Li Ang murmured, his silvery-white eyes reflecting the light of destruction. With a thought, he solidified an extremely dense layer of […].
[Breeze Barrier] Envelops itself.
Then, the wand gently pressed down.
The blue-white plasma energy sphere, a hundred meters in diameter, was like a second sun that had fallen. With a weight and deathly silence that seemed to crush space, it slowly but irresistibly fell toward the most muscular part of the mother's body, where the ovipositors were most densely packed.
At the moment of contact, sound, light, and matter were all swallowed up and annihilated by the extreme energy erupting from the center of the sphere.
next moment.
An explosive amount of terrifying energy was released instantly, spreading wildly outwards in every direction from the point of impact!
The terrifyingly high temperature of hundreds of thousands of degrees instantly vaporized all the tissues in the area where the mother was in contact with it, and this vaporization process spread like wildfire throughout the mother's body at a speed far exceeding its regenerative capacity!
Even the solid rock layer next to the mother body melted and evaporated like butter in the face of that blue and white light. The entire underground cavity structure collapsed instantly and was completely torn apart and thrown away by the subsequent more violent energy!
