Naturally, under Abenue's summons, the endless and vast Insect Warriors scattered throughout this star domain fearlessly charged forward, carrying an aura of terror that could ravage the heavens, rolling in like a tide.
The endless Insect Warriors transformed into an infinite black torrent, a sight that would make anyone's scalp tingle.
Moreover, under Abenue's split-consciousness control, the various Insect Warriors charged in an orderly fashion. The first to bear the brunt were the attack-type Insect Warriors, each one larger than a mountain range, their massive rear bodies propped up. There, huge air sacs swelled up, and from them, massive beams of light shot forth towards the seven Great Powers.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless thick beams of light were visible to the naked eye, erupting like giant meteors, streaking across the sky, yet carrying powerful Dao marks that tore through the starry void.
This was the Insect Warriors' first wave of assault, all of them at the Saint Treasury Realm level, numbering over ten thousand. Among them were no less than thirty Heaven King Level Insect Warriors. Only a Great Power-level Insect Race Mother Queen could birth so many, and these were gathered from the original eighteen Insect Race Mother Queens she had subjugated.
The dense, concentrated attacks blasted forth together, their fearsome power enough to make even an ancient Great Sage retreat.
Unfortunately, they were facing not just one Great Power, but seven. Each had cultivated for at least thousands, if not tens of thousands of years, and had experienced countless battles, big and small. How could they be afraid?
Now, each was wreathed in endless light, permeated with vast pressure, laughing heartily as they charged forward with arrogance: "Hahaha! Mere insects dare to block our path? You're simply seeking death! Scram!"
They attacked together, directly shattering and annihilating all the Insect Warriors' beam attacks.
Simultaneously, they moved!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Visible to the eye, the endless black torrent of Insect Warriors swarmed over, covering the sky. Yet, often with just a casual strike from these Great Powers, they could easily collapse a section of the starry void. With a wave of their hands, thousands upon thousands of Insect Warriors were turned to dust.
The disparity in power was too great. Among the endless Insect Warriors, the strongest were only at the Heaven King Level, and even those were only pseudo-Heaven King Level, lacking corresponding divine souls, relying entirely on Abenue's remote control. They simply couldn't withstand the assault.
No matter how numerous they were, they couldn't truly contend with seven Great Powers.
The situation there was completely one-sided. No matter how many Insect Warriors there were, they couldn't effectively block the seven Great Powers' advance.
Abenue naturally sensed all this. Seeing the protective circle formed by the Insect Warriors quickly developing huge gaps, she grew anxious. However, she was currently locked in battle with Garo Divine King. Even though she was using the True Dragon Soaring Heaven Technique, Garo Divine King's strength was unexpectedly formidable, preventing her from gaining any advantage.
Moreover, she currently had no energy to spare for anything else.
Boom!
At this moment, Garo Divine King brandished his Divine King Spear and cleaved down, instantly tearing through the starry void with an aura of destruction.
Abenue let out a sharp cry. Her phoenix-like eyes narrowed, and she actually raised her jade hands to meet the attack. Her slender, fair hands flowed with brilliant radiance, and a massive dragon claw materialized, clashing with the spear.
Boom!
The starry void collapsed, affecting and shattering several nearby stars, exploding into dazzling light.
Both were sent flying back. Abenue spat out a mouthful of blood, tinged with brilliant gold—a result of that Divine King Spear. It was indeed powerful. If she weren't a Special Insect Queen, her body strengthened by part of the Dragon Source bestowed by her master, she wouldn't have been able to resist; her flesh would have been torn apart.
However, using the force of the recoil, Abenue shot away from Garo Divine King with a whoosh, charging towards the seven Great Powers.
"Trying to leave? Wishful thinking!"
Garo Divine King saw through Abenue's intention, snorted coldly, and also charged forward. He even put more force into throwing the Divine King Spear in his hand.
Boom!
The Divine King Spear transformed into a sharp column of light, piercing through the infinite starry void, shooting towards Abenue.
Abenue immediately swept her hands, summoning the Star Nest to collide violently with the Divine King Spear.
The Divine King Spear was halted, but the sturdy, seemingly indestructible Star Nest was actually pierced through by the spear, leaving a huge hole and many cracks.
Though her heart ached immensely, Abenue had no time to care. She transformed, shifting into her true form—a ten-thousand-li-long golden divine dragon—and charged towards the seven Great Powers, roaring and launching into a forceful, domineering assault.
"Don't even think about it!"
Behind her, Garo Divine King charged forward even more forcefully. He manifested his domain, a massive dharma manifestation appearing, also ten thousand li in size. In his hand, he grasped a ten-thousand-li-long Divine King Spear condensed from the radiance of countless stars, angrily cleaving down at Abenue's true form, initiating the next round of fierce collision while roaring: "You seven, attack now!"
"Yes!"
The seven Great Powers didn't dare delay. They all attacked, sweeping aside countless Insect Warriors, successfully breaking through the protective circle. But soon, they encountered another obstacle.
Because in the starry void, there were grand formations personally laid down by Ye Chen, one after another, three layers in total. Each layer was filled with powerful pressure, capable of withstanding any attack below the Super Great Power level.
They tried to attack, unleashing various divine abilities, even summoning countless meteors from beyond the starry cosmos to bombard the formations. Yet, after a round of furious bombardment, they still couldn't breach the outermost defensive formation.
Helpless, they could only seek help from Garo Divine King, who was still engaged in battle.
"What a bunch of useless trash!"
Garo Divine King's expression turned ugly. He had painstakingly intercepted the most powerful Special Insect Queen, Abenue, yet these people couldn't even break through a defensive formation. He was deeply disappointed.
Boom!
After exchanging a powerful blow with Abenue, he used the recoil to reach a distant part of the sky. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a column of light. It was a great banner, about three zhang long, its radiance hazy, flying towards the seven Great Powers. It emanated a pressure that made their hearts tremble. He said: "You seven, take hold of this No-Life Great Banner. Combine your strength to deal with this Insect Race Mother Queen. This king will personally attack."
This No-Life Great Banner was also a treasure forged by Garo Divine King, only slightly inferior to the Divine King Spear.
The seven Great Powers immediately followed Garo Divine King's instructions, taking hold of the No-Life Great Banner and attacking Abenue.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the seven combined their power to activate the banner, with each sway of the great banner, layer upon layer of world illusions emerged. The power of these worlds was vast and overwhelming, continuously rushing towards Abenue. It was truly an immeasurably terrifying great killing weapon.
Even Abenue was briefly hindered. Under the control of the seven Super Great Powers, this No-Life Great Banner unleashed terrifying power not the least bit inferior to that of a Super Great Power.
Moreover, with the appearance of these world illusions, even someone as strong as her was somewhat caught off guard and flustered, let alone being able to rescue her master, the Battle Saint King. She could only watch everything unfold helplessly.
