Nangong Su, an illusionist mage newly advanced to War God, controlled silver beetles to fight each other but struggled against the Insect Race Queen's interference. The Queen seized control, immobilizing him and sending the beetles to attack. Lin Yi arrived in time, freezing the swarm with his Supreme Law of ice, nullifying the Queen's sonic assault, and earning excited recognition from Nangong Su as his daughter's ideal partner.

Sharper and more piercing insect shrieks bombarded them without mercy, yet this time, shielded by Lin Yi’s Human Dao Slash, Nangong Su suffered no impact whatsoever.

Observing Nangong Su remaining utterly composed amid the sonic assault, the Queen of the Insect Nest could no longer contain her boiling frustration.

The infuriating scene transmitted via the virtual view tied to her primary body in the passage left the Queen of the Insect Nest quivering in rage.

"You humans believe mastering the Supreme Law of the Harmonization Level makes you arrogant before me, the Queen. The might of our Insect Race defies your comprehension!"

Furious, the Insect Race Queen bellowed, swiftly channeling her inner Source Power to deploy her signature technique—the Genetic Ray.

Just like Blue Star, the Insect Race confronted dangers from alien worlds.

To safeguard their world and seize additional resources, the Insect Race had to keep boosting their strength—through evolution, in essence.

Not only was the Insect Race Queen the mightiest entity on Nest Insect Star, she also ruled it as its supreme leader.

Every form of life on Nest Insect Star sprang from her creation.

Hence, the Queen of Nesting Insects commanded the power to evolve and refine the Insect Race.

By altering Insect Race genes and fusing them with her Creation Law, the Queen crafted a novel ability: Genetic Ray.

This technique boasts tremendous potency; striking a foe lets it overhaul their genetic makeup.

To put it plainly, a hit from the Genetic Ray empowers the Queen of the Insect Nest to reshape the enemy's form however she desires.

Moreover, this alteration ignores skills under tenth tier and Laws beneath Harmonization Level.

Though its explanation seems mundane, the Genetic Ray's true potency shatters all expectations.

Re sequencing genes and restructuring a foe's physique mid-battle proves utterly horrifying.

Should the Genetic Ray connect, the Insect Race Queen could wildly deform the victim in an instant or render them powerless, blocking all source energy flow.

The Queen's virtual projection had barely begun the skill, not finishing the startup pose, when Lin Yi sensed the anomalous energy and his Eye of All-Seeing swiftly analyzed it.

Grasping the flaw in the Queen of Nesting Insects’ Genetic Ray, Lin Yi calmly raised his right hand toward the menacing ray.

[Void Hand]

Neutralizes every skill upon contact.

Regardless of the Queen's desperate efforts from across the passage, she failed to infuse the genetic alteration into Lin Yi’s form.

That normally invincible thick ray proved useless against Lin Yi, fueling the Queen's shame and fury even more.

Her forehead antennae shook wildly.

A distinct sonic pulse rang out, prompting hundreds of massive armadillo-resembling beetles on the Insect Hive Star to spread their wings with a whooshing gale, surging into the Blue Star channel.

The short clash led the Queen to conclude Lin Yi was a spellcaster weak in melee, so deploying elite melee Insect Race specialists was the optimal strategy.

Consequently, every beetle sent matched human Ninth Transformation professionals in strength.

Blazing speed, armored shells, and devastating explosive force defined the armadillos' key strengths.

Even a single War God professional would struggle against a handful of them.

Confronting more than ten without fleeing promptly meant getting ripped apart by these elite armadillos.

Regarding a horde exceeding one hundred, throughout Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms history, no solo fighter or squad had faced anything like it.

Who could fathom such a horrifying quantity?

Dozens of miles distant, Lin Yi spotted the hill-sized armadillos advancing en masse via his Eye of All-Seeing.

Were he alone here, Lin Yi wouldn't fear harm from those hundreds of armadillos.

However, with Miss Nangong’s father nearby, he needed to demonstrate his prowess.

Mighty source energy erupted as Lin Yi thought, instantly unleashing a special forbidden curse.

[Forbidden Curse: Stone Absorbing Heaven and Earth]

The caster draws earth essence to trap the target in an indestructible stone orb, granting full protection from all assaults except Power of Law.

For years, the Insect Race dominated the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms without skills or Power of Law.

Their reliance lay in robust physiques and savage fearlessness.

Power of Law remained rare among Insect Race, save for the Insect Nest Queen.

Thus, Lin Yi felt zero concern over his Earth Element Forbidden Curse barrier being pierced.

Boosted by Primordial Chaos Multicast, four layers of the Earth Element Forbidden Curse enveloped Nangong Su simultaneously. Now, not even tenfold the armadillos could shatter Stone Absorbing Heaven and Earth’s ultimate safeguard.

Witnessing the sudden multi-layered forbidden curses, the Queen of the Insect Nest felt shock anew.

Instant forbidden curse casting—fourfold at that!

What sort of horrifying beast did I provoke?

Luckily, the four-star passages operated one-way, deterring the Queen's reckless charge; otherwise, Lin Yi might pulverize her.

Hold on!

This youth deployed an Earth Element Forbidden Curse to shield without altering shape—he foresaw my move!

Hundreds of mountain-like beetles sliced through the sky, their huge claw-lined jaws snapping furiously.

In seconds, the armadillo swarm flashed by Lin Yi, unleashing their onslaughts. Seeing Lin Yi hold off defenses till the end, the Queen of the Insect Nest sighed in relief at last.

Though Insect Race-born, the Queen matched human intellect fully.

From prolonged clashes with Blue Star humans, she, the Queen of the Insect Nest, knew human professionals' defensive limits well. Without skill barriers, even lesser Insect Race could injure them, let alone hundreds of armadillos.

Yet as Lin Yi’s form emerged clearly, the Queen of the Insect Nest froze in disbelief.

The youth bathed in golden radiance stood unhurt, utterly serene.

Armadillos that had assaulted with jaws bore injuries of all sorts—some fractured, others mangled.

Without Insect Race shared sight and replay function, the Queen couldn't grasp what unfolded then.

The lead armadillo attacking Lin Yi moved at blinding speed, yet right before impact, Lin Yi dodged via a profoundly odd movement art.

From then on, faint golden glow cloaked Lin Yi as he tanked every armadillo strike with his body alone.
