TL: Etude
A year had elapsed since the initial preparations.
Most of the Dao Ancestors from the Profound Void Archaic Realm who had committed to the conflict had reached their designated staging grounds. Notably, the three Half-Step Domain Ancestors originating from the Three Ninth Heaven factions, alongside Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins from Blackwind Mountain, had all committed their forces to this war.
In contrast, the Heavenly Emperor Palace had only dispatched Palace Master Azure Dragon and Palace Master Zhenwu. Palace Master White Tiger maintained his vigilance at the Heavenly Emperor Palace, abstaining from direct involvement in the battle.
On this particular day,
The main operational bases issued their directives for the offensive against the Forbidden Insect Race. Dao Ancestors began their preparations for the upcoming engagements, some opting for solo assaults, while others coalesced into alliances or assumed command of entire legions.
Prior to their departure, Ye Tian imparted his final counsels to Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingyue, and Ye Yu.
“The three of you are to remain together, no matter the circumstances. Do not separate. Do you understand? Should you find yourselves in peril, summon aid immediately. If Pinnacle Dao Ancestor or Invincible Dao Ancestor from Blackwind Mountain are within proximity, they will render assistance. Heed my words, do not act rashly!” Ye Tian’s admonition was firm.
“Understood, Father!” Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue affirmed with rapid nods.
“Brother, I get it!” Ye Yu chimed in, echoing their sentiment.Subsequently, the trio comprising Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingyue, and Ye Yu commenced their joint mission to hunt forbidden insects. Concurrently, Ye Tian, accompanied by his wife, Xiao Yue, embarked on their own hunting expedition.
As for the clone of Heavenly King Nine Limits, he was already positioned alongside Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, proceeding directly toward the Forbidden Insect Nest.
Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins operated with independent intent, foregoing any notification to Palace Master Azure Dragon or the other Half-Step Domain Ancestors. Although the presence of only two Half-Step Domain Ancestors presented a challenge against six lord-level forbidden insects, the latter did not maintain a constant vigil at the nest's entrance. Typically, only two were stationed there, while the remaining four patrolled other territories in search of resources.
After all, even creatures at the lord-level required means to enhance their might, and their advancement relied not on innate cultivation but on the consumption of resources.
Furthermore, the lord-level forbidden insects bore the crucial responsibility of collecting vast quantities of resources to sustain the Forbidden Insect Nest, facilitating the maturation of additional forbidden insects. Their duties were therefore substantial.
The objective for Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins was simple: to lure away the two guarding lord-level forbidden insects, thereby carving out an opening for Heavenly King Nine Limits to infiltrate the Forbidden Insect Nest.
Considering Heavenly King Nine Limits’ combat prowess, even encountering elite-level forbidden insects would not result in immediate demise. Only when confronted with commander-level forbidden insects would he be vanquished within a few exchanges.
Even in such scenarios, Heavenly King Nine Limits possessed the capacity to gather vital intelligence.
En route,
Ye Tian observed a significant presence of forbidden insects. It appeared the Forbidden Insect Race had indeed sensed the advance of the Dao Ancestors from the Dao Mountain Domain, prompting them to consolidate their forces in anticipation of battle.
Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, despite possessing the capability to effortlessly eliminate these lesser forbidden insects, strategically chose to hold back. Any overt action risked drawing the attention of the lord-level entities, which would jeopardize the entire operation.
The two Half-Step Domain Ancestors traversed the void at remarkable velocities, with Ye Tian being conveyed by them.
Approximately one hour later, their destination, the Forbidden Insect Nest, was finally reached.
“What a colossal nest!” Ye Tian marveled internally.
The structure was indeed spherical, its interior laced with an intricate network of interconnected passageways. At that moment, a ceaseless stream of forbidden insects flowed in and out of these conduits, which functioned as both entry and exit points.
By Ye Tian’s estimation, the nest’s dimensions were comparable to the entirety of the Human Race’s domain. The sheer scale was immense—equivalent to an entire Dao Realm in size! Outside the nest, two forbidden insects shimmered with a golden luminescence as they reclined upon the ground. The palpable aura emanating from them dwarfed that of any other forbidden insect, projecting an overwhelming pressure upon Ye Tian even from a considerable distance.
Forbidden insects typically made no effort to conceal their inherent might, and these two lord-level entities, whose power rivaled that of Half-Step Domain Ancestors, were unleashing their full, oppressive might. The sheer terror it inspired was palpable! Were Ye Tian to venture closer, he would likely be immobilized by their overwhelming aura long before reaching their immediate vicinity.
“Heavenly King Nine Limits, we will draw away those two lord-level forbidden insects. You seize the opportunity to charge into the forbidden insect nest through one of the passageways. Remember, we will only buy you ten minutes. Whether you survive or not, we will depart after ten minutes!” Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity commanded.
“Understood!”
Ye Tian was acutely aware that Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins were merely Half-Step Domain Ancestors. However, the forbidden insects possessed at least six lord-level entities among them. The power disparity was unmistakably vast. Furthermore, if the other four lord-level creatures returned, or if even more hostile entities appeared, Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins would face a genuine peril, potentially perishing if they didn't retreat promptly.
Boom!!! Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins initiated their offensive, unleashing two devastating strikes directly at the two lord-level forbidden insects.
Roar!!! Enraged by the assault, the lord-level forbidden insects let out furious roars. Their golden eyes pierced through the layers of the void, fixing their gaze upon Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins. These insects recognized them as the Half-Step Domain Ancestors who had previously dared to attack.
Instantly, the two lord-level forbidden insects grew even more incensed and charged headlong towards their aggressors.
As for Ye Tian? They completely disregarded him. In their predatory eyes, he was nothing more than an insignificant ant.
Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins executed forbidden techniques, revealing their terrifying Forbidden Bodies as they fiercely engaged the lord-level forbidden insects. The ensuing clash was of unimaginable destructiveness—each shockwave emanating from their combat possessed the power to effortlessly annihilate six or seven First Heaven Dao Ancestors.
Even the very fabric of the void in this sector of the Dark Forbidden Domain began to show signs of fracturing, a stark testament to the terrifying might of their powerful attacks.
Ye Tian maintained a considerable distance from their brutal battle, meticulously preparing to infiltrate the forbidden insect nest from an alternative vantage point.
“This passageway shall suffice!”
Ye Tian’s attention settled on one of the available passageways, and he invoked the Heavenly Illusory Divine Steps, a majestic Middle Thousand Dao Technique, propelling himself forward at his absolute maximum speed.
Before long, he successfully penetrated the passageway, continuing his advance deep within its confines.
He had barely traveled a significant distance when Ye Tian’s formidable Copy Talent alerted him to the presence of a forbidden insect. This creature was on the verge of emerging through the very same passageway Ye Tian occupied.
Fortunately, this turned out to be merely an ordinary forbidden insect, possessing a strength roughly equivalent to that of a Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor—a comparatively feeble opponent.
As Ye Tian drew nearer, he struck with lightning speed, employing the potent Primeval Slashing Technique to vanquish it in a single, decisive blow.
Following the swift elimination of the forbidden insect, Ye Tian carefully collected its corpse. After all, the corpses of forbidden insects could be offered as sacrifices to the origin of the Profound Void Archaic Realm, yielding immense benefits in return, thus rendering each one exceptionally valuable.
For the present moment, Ye Tian’s good fortune persisted. No further forbidden insects materialized within this particular passageway. However, Ye Tian was fully cognizant of the impending reality: once he ventured into the innermost core of the forbidden insect nest, his presence would inevitably be exposed.
