Chapter 348: Seal Breaking and Array Breaking (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When he looked again, Lin Yan’s scalp tingled. That thing was actually a pitch-black mouthpart covered in mucus and rough bristles!
It kept squirming, expanding and contracting like a leech, causing the pitch-black patterns on the surface to swim like a living creature.
At this moment, the mouthpart was raised from the pitch-black flesh. A strange and miserable howl that was like a knife scraping metal suddenly sounded.
At the end of the weapon was a strange-looking Gadfly King that looked like a turtle but had eight long hands on its back!
Lin Yan’s mind raced and he instantly understood. “This is a bug king devouring flesh and blood and transforming into a complete form before breaking through the seal of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother! Like me, it’s also here to hunt this bug king!”
The mouthpiece sucked slightly, and the end suddenly expanded. The patterns expanded like a living creature, and it actually squeezed the Gadfly King into the mouthpiece bit by bit!
The miserable howls lasted for a moment before stopping.
Then, three similar mouthparts shot out from the huge mouth again. They pierced into the pitch-black flesh below and began to suck!
Infinite pitch-black flesh was quickly devoured and absorbed by the four mouthparts, flowing into the pitch-black deep hole leading to the gap.
Lin Yan’s expression was solemn as he carefully turned around and quickly retreated.
This was still the black domain of the Gadfly King, so he could not contact the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.
Although he had yet to see the full appearance of this terrifying monster, he had only caught a glimpse of the ruins in the flesh space above. Clearly, this Gadfly King had probably begun to devour and collect flesh a day ago.
Most importantly, it had actually broken the seal set by the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother!
Along the way, Lin Yan could vaguely sense that the entire Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s body was trembling.
Soon, Lin Yan arrived at a normal flesh world. The Golden Ball of Consciousness of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother immediately jumped out and said anxiously, “It’s broken! Those Gadfly Kings have broken the seal!” “Those?” Lin Yan said solemnly. “There’s more than one Gadfly King that has broken free?”
“Not just one! It’s eight! Eight Gadfly Kings have all broken through at the same time!”
“At the same time?”
Was it because the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother could not hold on anymore? Did they want to eat as many worm kings as possible to improve themselves before the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother died?
In the past two days, in order to fool the Gadfly King as much as possible, Lin Yan had asked the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother to show as much fatigue as possible. In fact, because she had divided too much spirituality, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s current state was indeed not good. It was easy for her to pretend to be exhausted.
Lin Yan’s expression darkened. As he sensed his clones, he focused on immersing himself in the Misty White Jade World.
In the fog, the various insect Icings were chatting. All of them were yelling. Lin Yan only roughly listened to a few sentences before his mind immediately tensed up and he understood the cause and effect.
“The ones who broke the seals are the eight teams’ respective commanders! Right now, they’re all attacking and devouring the Gadfly Kings in the same group! This isn’t a coincidence. They’ve planned this long ago!”
It just so happened that in the first seven groups, the battlefields that had been broken had been replaced by his Insect King Clones. So now, the seven Insect Kings were attacking his Insect King Clones crazily!
“Fortunately, I had those clones retract their domains early on and devour flesh to strengthen themselves…”
Although they were not as powerful as the Insect King commanders, they were not instantly killed like the Insect King just now.
Lin Yan had actually known long ago that these insect Icing commanders also wanted to devour the other insect kings. However, he did not expect these eight insect kings to attack at the same time, as if they had an agreement. Clearly, they had their own communication channels.
That was why these insect kings chose this moment to attack at the same time!
Sensing the situation of the Insect King’s clones, Lin Yan’s eyebrows condensed even more.
After such a long time of domain converging, the size of his clones and the seven Insect Kings had already grown to an exaggerated level.
Lin Yan couldn’t see the exact situation clearly, but he could tell through the perception of his clones that the seven battlefields were extremely noisy. There was already a scene of giant monsters fighting each other. The tremors he had sensed just now had been transmitted from various battlefields.
However, the situation was not optimistic. The size of the Insect King commanders was generally more than 50% larger than the Insect King Clone! Moreover, his control over the insect king’s clones was weak after all. He had only written a simple passive defense counterattack module in a hurry. They were completely suppressed by the insect king commanders and could not last long.
“They’re all bullying the weak, right? Then I can only bully them with numbers!”
In every area, there were five to six of his Insect King clones!
If the quality was insufficient, he would make up for it with quantity!
With a direct order, all the insect king clones moved and surrounded the insect king team!
Even if his control was weak, there were many insects and they were powerful. He did not believe that those insect Icing commanders were not afraid!
As expected, as the insect king clones moved to surround him, the insect king commanders were clearly afraid. They stopped their attacks and retreated, confronting Lin Yan’s many insect king clones.
They seemed to be saying something to the insect king’s clones, but without the Spirit Devouring Array in the fog world, Lin Yan didn’t understand what they were trying to say.
“This strategy won’t last long. The Insect King commanders will soon discover that my Insect King clones are just pretending…”
Lin Yan turned to look at the golden ball of consciousness of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. It was swimming back and forth around Lin Yan.
At this moment, its consciousness golden ball had already completely taken the form of a cute golden turtle. Its limbs kept scratching in the void as it swam around Lin Yan.
Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. “I already have some insights into the structure of the Spirit Devouring Array. Now is the time to break the Spirit Devouring Array! I will control my clones and cooperate with you as much as possible to break the seal!”
The little golden turtle immediately rolled around in excitement and jumped up. “I’ve been waiting for you to say that!”
To be honest, according to her age, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was hundreds of years old. However, as the seal was removed, her consciousness gradually recovered. She did not show the attitude of a hundred-year-old demon or a sage. Instead, she became more lively.
Lin Yan had previously taken the time to ask the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, but she did not explain in detail. She only said to Lin Yan enviously, “I’m just a turtle. I’m not as lucky as you!”
Time was of the essence.
Lin Yan focused and condensed his consciousness into the misty white jade world. He also controlled all his clones to instantly sink into the misty world!
He could not multitask, but fortunately, the various insect king clones had to do the same thing now. He directly operated in batches and made all the insect king clones shake their spirituality, preparing to break all the nodes of the Spirit Devouring Array at once!
This was not an easy matter. After all, the control of the eight hubs of the Spirit Devouring Array was in the hands of the eight Insect Kings.
However, Lin Yan had not spent the past two days in vain. With the understanding of the 44 clones in the Spirit Devouring Array and the experience in the Heavenly Eight Dragons Array, Lin Yan had already found a way to suppress the power of the eight Insect Kings.
That was to shake the spirituality of the Insect Kings’ clones and directly imitate the Heavenly Eight Dragons Array to establish a small Heavenly Eight Dragons Array in the Spirit Devouring Array!
There were exactly eight parts and eight sets of structures. Moreover, the Insect Kings’ clones had devoured a huge amount of flesh and blood. Their bodies were extremely huge, and their total energy had already far exceeded the sixteen-armed Holy Buddha back then!
In an instant, on the white jade ball shell that was as huge as a planet and wrapped in the sun in the fog world, five to six pitch-black dots suddenly appeared on the surface of the ball. It was as if there were ink spots that spread in all directions.
Then, five or six thick black lights spewed out from one-eighth of the ball like fireworks. They connected to the fog above and fused into a black ball of light.
Above the white jade ball, eight black balls of light squirmed and formed.. They slowly turned into eight illusionary balls that were surrounded by black light, like demon gods!
