However, whether they were Spiritual Beasts from the Heavenly Realm or native Spiritual Beasts from the Infinite Star Sea, their vision was not affected by the surrounding Chaos. This was quite beneficial for the Myriad Beasts Sect.
Moreover, in the Infinite Star Sea, both the scale of spells and vital energy would be greatly condensed. While their power remained unchanged, their area of effect would shrink, and flight speed would also decrease.
Finally, the Star Sea was primarily divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower. The lowest layer, the Lower Star Sea, only contained enemies at the True Immortal Level. Correspondingly, only Myriad Beasts Sect Disciples of that level could enter. The middle layer’s upper limit was the Heavenly Immortal realm, while the upper layer was accessible to cultivators of any cultivation realm.
The upper limit is True Immortal Level? That’s not too bad. Chen Jiuge was still quite confident in his combat abilities.
First, I need to achieve initial mastery in Bright Eyes Thousand Miles, he decided.
「Three days later」
After Chen Jiuge achieved initial mastery in Bright Eyes Thousand Miles, the Insect Clan arrived.
"Master, Master! The Insect Clan you spoke of has arrived!" Mo Yu reported hurriedly, clutching a teapot.
"So soon? It hasn’t even been twenty days, has it?" Chen Jiuge said, sowhat surprised.
Arriving at the central No. 3 city wall, Chen Jiuge activated his Dharma Eye to observe.
Hiss! There are even more than I imagined!
Countless ferocious insects ford a surging insectile sea, slowly drifting over from the outer Chaotic Void.
"Da Bai, where are those Magic Artifacts you’ve been refining?"
"It’s only been about ten days. I’ve only managed to refine twelve cannons," Da Bai admitted, sowhat sheepishly.
"No problem. Bring them up first," Chen Jiuge said, intending to test them.
Most of the insects in his sight were at the Divinity Transformation and Returning to Void cultivation realms. There weren’t many at the Mahayana realm. However, this "not many," when considered against the sheer base number of the Insect Clan, still represented a vast quantity for Chen Jiuge and his companions.
Da Bai was only a Sixth Rank Artifact Refiner, so the maximum power of the cannons he refined was actually equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Returning to Void Cultivator. This level of power was only achievable by sacrificing all other advantages.
The twelve cannons were lined up. Chen Jiuge directed other Spiritual Beasts to load them. Only when the insects’ figures beca visible did he give the order to fire.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
An attack that could normally obliterate a large mountain, when fired in the Chaos, only produced a moderately sized fireball.
"One shot only kills a few dozen insects? The attack range is compressed far too much!" Chen Jiuge complained, dissatisfied.
"Keep firing! Silver King, go inform the Spiritual Beasts on the other city walls to prepare for battle. We can’t let them break through!"
"Understood."
Butterfly Star’s Array Barrier was actually located behind the city walls, serving as the final line of defense. The city walls themselves were built within the Chaotic Void. If the Array were to include the city walls, the resources required for its operation would be imnse—far exceeding what Butterfly Star produced. The Myriad Beasts Sect would naturally not engage in such an unprofitable venture.
CRACK!
As a cockroach-like insect set foot on the city wall, the battle officially began.
Chen Jiuge wrapped the Vajra Lock around his left arm. In his right hand, he gripped the pseudo-Holy Weapon, the Jade Stick, obtained from Yu Heng. The Dharma Eye on his forehead scanned the insectile sea, searching for True Immortal Worms.
How can there be none? Casually crushing the head of a Mahayana-realm insect, Chen Jiuge frowned deeply.
「No. 1 City Wall」
Bai Ya, in her massive White Tiger form, hovered outside the city wall. A casual swipe of her paw burst a large number of insects into pulp. Disdainfully, she flicked the multi-colored ichor from her paw. "Why are they all such worthless trash?"
"Lady Bai Ya, the number of insects is too great!" one of the four True Immortals accompanying her, a Roaring Red Tiger, warned.
For True Immortals, as long as they weren’t enveloped by the insectile sea, these creatures were rely nurous and sowhat repulsive. However, for Spiritual Beasts at the Mahayana Realm, it was a different story.
The sheer quantity was overwhelming. A large swarm of insects surged forward, with large Mahayana-strength insects unexpectedly mixed within. Although insects of an equivalent cultivation rank were generally the weakest, their imnse numbers were daunting.
A grey-skinned wild boar was caught off guard by a large insect hidden within the swarm. It stumbled, its footing unsteady. Although its companions promptly rescued it, its foreleg had been gnawed to the bone. It was clearly unable to continue fighting and needed to recuperate.
"You four, pay attention! I’ll clear out a path," Bai Ya declared, her brow furrowed as she made her decision.
Her pure white fur stread majestically behind her. Bai Ya took a deep breath through her massive tiger maw, then unleashed a trendous sound—her Divine Skill, Tiger Roar!
The insects in the front line closest to her, regardless of their cultivation, had their bodies shattered by the terrifying roar if they had not reached the True Immortal Level.
Countless insect corpses floated in the Chaos. The vast swarm suddenly halted, giving the Spiritual Beasts on City Wall No. 1 a mont to catch their breath.
One after another, humanoid cockroach-like beings erged from the dense insectile sea—all of them at the True Immortal Level!
The leading humanoid cockroach-like being shrieked in a piercing voice, "Surrender or die!"
The appearance of dozens of True Immortal Level humanoid cockroach-like beings was shocking, but surrender was impossible.
Bai Ya’s gaze turned increasingly fierce. She let out a series of low growls. "Are you looking down on ?"
The humanoid cockroach-like being didn’t reply. It raised its barb-covered arm, gave a commanding wave, and unfurled its wings, rapidly charging toward Bai Ya. The other humanoid cockroach-like beings and the rest of the swarm also resud their assault.
BANG!
Fist and claw collided. The humanoid cockroach-like being was sent flying backward into the swarm, crushing many of the weaker insects that cushioned its fall and leaving a large splatter of remains. Without a word, it charged forward once more.
