Indeed, the starry nest had shattered, breaking apart completely and disintegrating within this star domain.
It was a scene of utter astonishment!
One must know that the star inhabited by the Insect Race Mother Queen and countless Insect Warriors was truly massive, spanning over ten thousand li. Over many years of continuous construction and management, reinforced with various Dao talismans and even laws, it could absolutely be described as impregnable, far more stable than an ordinary star by many times.
Even if the vast majority of Heavenly Kings came to attack, they would fail and return, unable to breach it.
Yet now, it had been shattered. Countless fragments of the star scattered across the starry sky, shooting in all directions.
Massive chunks of stellar debris, trailing dazzling flames, transformed into fiery meteors that directly incinerated the remaining Insect Warriors in this star domain. This caused immense destructive fluctuations, disturbing many fearsome beasts lurking within this dim starry expanse.
One could see, deep within the distant starry void, streaks of crimson light appearing. Those were gazes, the gazes of terrifying creatures from this Forbidden Land of Peril, thoroughly roused. Terrifying roars and bellows rose and fell one after another.
Among them, many ferocious beasts were drawing near.
Boom! Boom!—
From within the shattered nest star, two terrifying auras erupted, vast and mighty across the starry sky.
They belonged to Ye Chen and the Insect Race Mother Queen. It was precisely because they were too powerful that even the incredibly stable nest star had been forced to disintegrate.
Now, they fought with earth-shattering force, accompanied by endless, boundless fluctuations, as if they intended to annihilate everything.
The Insect Race Mother Queen was indeed powerful beyond imagination. It had transformed into a woman, with a graceful and enchanting figure, divine radiance swirling around her body, cascading black hair like a waterfall, and eyes brimming with rippling spring water. She possessed a stunning, peerless beauty that could captivate all living beings, every smile and movement so heart-stirringly moving that even a Heavenly King would be tempted.
However, within her seemingly gentle and composed movements often lay lethal attacks, with Dao marks and laws concealed within, capable of annihilating time and space with a single move.
Beautiful, yet also extremely dangerous.
But Ye Chen was a man of immense fortitude. How could he be bewitched by her beauty? Moreover, he had seen even more beautiful appearances before—his three beloved women were the greatest examples.
He continuously exchanged blows with the Insect Race Mother Queen, his body wreathed in immortal golden light, using both fists and feet, containing unparalleled battle intent that swept across the heavens.
All attacks from the Insect Race Mother Queen were shattered into nothingness, unable to get close.
Yet, one had to acknowledge the Insect Race Mother Queen's fearsomeness and power. She was even stronger than the imperial clan True King Ying Chen, undoubtedly a terrifying existence at the high Heavenly King level. Otherwise, how could an ordinary Heavenly King engage in such a fierce battle with him? They would be instantly suppressed and crushed upon meeting.
Similarly, the Insect Race Mother Queen was also astonished, shocked by Ye Chen's strength. She could sense his aura—powerful yet clearly containing the unique vitality characteristic of the younger generation, his blood energy incredibly vigorous, indicating he was in his youth. Why was he so terrifyingly powerful?
She also knew of the Battle Saint lineage, but this young Battle Saint before her was simply excessively strong.
Pfft—
Ye Chen's hand brushed past her left arm. Golden light exploded, shattering her left arm. Blood flowed like a river as she sustained an injury.
But the Insect Race Mother Queen also pressed a delicate hand towards his face, aiming a finger strike at the space between his eyebrows—the most lethal blow.
Yet Ye Chen suddenly roared.
Roar!—
A roar from the Battle Sacred Body—how terrifying! The heavens split, and this starry sky directly plunged into a terrifying collapse, everything on the verge of annihilation.
The Insect Race Mother Queen was sent flying backward, her form splitting, blood mist spraying from the pores all over her body. She nearly exploded, on the brink of being utterly crushed.
This was also because she was sufficiently powerful. Otherwise, an ordinary Heavenly King would have been utterly crushed by that single roar.
Boom!—
Ye Chen struck like thunderbolts in an instant, charging forward and cleaving the Insect Race Mother Queen's beautiful figure directly in two, forcing her to reveal her true form.
It was a giant insect resembling a queen bee or ant queen, not particularly ugly. On the contrary, it possessed a unique kind of beauty, its entire body transparent and crystalline.
The Insect Race Mother Queen's divine soul remained unextinguished, soaring into the sky from the torn body and emitting a terrifying shriek. However, it was not directed at Ye Chen but spread out in all directions, clearly meant to summon other ferocious beasts from the depths of the star domain.
Ye Chen's expression changed abruptly. With a light shout, his Battle Saint soul shot forth from the space between his eyebrows, bearing the Primordial Battle Body, condensing into a streak of immortal golden lightning that completely pierced through the Insect Race Mother Queen's divine soul, nailing and killing it.
Furthermore, his gaze swept across the surroundings. A vast blood energy emanated from his body, spreading from the shattered remains of countless Insect Warriors—a boundless, vast ocean of blood energy that soared into the heavens, illuminating the vast, expansive starry sky, a truly spectacular sight.
The other ferocious beasts in this Forbidden Land of Peril were deeply intimidated. That figure seemed like a supreme deity from the heavenly realm, transcending the mortal world, appearing incomparably majestic.
At the center, Ye Chen sat cross-legged. Beside him lay a beautiful figure—the corpse of the Insect Race Mother Queen, whom he had completely slain, lying across the starry sky.
In this starry expanse, the boundless blood energy, dotted with starlight-like life essence, all flowed like a school of fish into the central figure. His body seemed like a bottomless pit, possessing a grand, imposing momentum capable of swallowing mountains and rivers for ten thousand li.
Only after a long time did everything gradually come to an end. Ye Chen rose to his feet, the golden light retracting within him, like a sacred sun majestically rising, its radiance shining for ten thousand zhang, illuminating this vast and desolate Starry Land, incredibly conspicuous.
Having slain an Insect Race Mother Queen, Ye Chen had devoured a portion of its vitality and blood energy, causing his own aura to grow significantly stronger, becoming vast, boundless, and astonishing.
At this moment, standing tall and gazing into the distant sky, astonishing light shot forth from his eyes, illuminating the starry expanse.
The remaining vitality and blood energy of the Insect Race Mother Queen were sealed away by Ye Chen, as he intended to leave it for the Insect Race Mother Queen within his own body.
Only now did Ye Chen truly become serious, for this place was too extraordinary. It was known as the Forbidden Land of Peril, inhabited by terrifying ferocious beasts and living beings. There were even Insect Race Mother Queens at the Heavenly King level—fearsome indeed. Only a powerhouse like Ye Chen could be unafraid; otherwise, any other Heavenly King would likely perish here.
He strode forward. The two small beasts on his shoulders were equally curious, constantly scanning this area.
As time passed, Ye Chen actually saw, within the dim starry sky, the appearance of a magnificent continent, spanning perhaps a million li in radius. Yet it was desolate, with little vitality able to survive upon it, not much covered by forests or mountains.
At the center of the continent stood an extremely majestic and towering mountain, thrusting deep into the starry void. Or perhaps more accurately, it was a volcano, standing prominently in the middle.
Boom!—
Suddenly, Ye Chen and the two small beasts witnessed, from within the volcano's crater, an endless shower of starlight suddenly pouring down, flowing like water, descending to the ground.
The vast starlight transformed into a brilliant Milky Way, a vast expanse of white, converging into that volcanic crater.
One could see that the volcanic crater was swallowing the radiance of all the stars. Everything then dimmed, appearing pitch-black and boundless.
But not long after, brilliant light erupted from the volcanic crater—not starlight, but one streak after another of dazzling immortal light, shooting towards the heavens, illuminating this dim star domain. Moreover, Ye Chen and the two small beasts saw round objects accompanying the immortal light as it burst forth.
Upon closer inspection, even Ye Chen couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
Because those round objects were nothing else but ancient great worlds, emerging alongside the brilliant immortal light.
This scene was enough to astonish everyone.
