Chapter 2256: Battle of the Spiritual Domain

The two giant insect phantoms were shocked. No longer caring about showing any respect, their body surfaces lit up with escape light, and they intended to avoid and flee.

But where the silver-gauze woman pointed her finger, black light flashed, and two shining runes shot out. After a flash, they submerged into the two giant insect bodies with unbelievable speed.

The two insects let out a miserable cry, their bodies twisting with all their might to resist the power of the black runes, but it was to no avail. After countless black threads appeared on their body surfaces, they rapidly shrank and turned into light.

After a moment's work, in the original place, only two balls of light remained floating quietly in the air.

The silver-gauze woman just beckoned at the void with one hand, and the light balls flashed and flew over on their own.

Then she opened her mouth.

After the two light balls spun around, they transformed into two wisps of white light and were directly sucked into the woman's mouth.

The silver-gauze woman took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Crystal light flowed across her face, and the aura on her body seemed to surge by more than double.

After a long while, when the woman opened her eyes with a light hum, the surging aura on her body instantly recovered to its original state.

Her expression moved suddenly. After raising her head to scan the sky above the abyss, she seemed to have sensed something. After a trace of ferocity flashed across her face, she transformed into a cluster of flames and shot back, submerging into the rolling demonic flames in the eye socket in a blur.

The next moment, the skeleton, which had been motionless, suddenly raised its head and let out a shrill roar. Clusters of blood mist appeared out of thin air nearby, and instantly transformed into threads of blood that rapidly wrapped around the bones.

Dense blood threads wrapped around the bones layer after layer, rapidly becoming crystalline and bright, transforming into real flesh, meridians, and even layers of skin and scales.

In the blink of an eye, the originally white skeleton transformed into a giant strange insect with one large and two small heads, three heads in total.

These three heads, except for the middle one which was a human face and was exactly the silver-gauze woman's face, the other two heads were exceptionally ferocious, their tops covered in countless eyes of various sizes, and most of their faces were directly covered by five-colored scales.

As for the insect's body, it was smooth and transparent, as if carved from crystal, but on the back of its massive body grew four pairs of milky-white cicada wings, their surfaces shining and five-colored runes appearing and disappearing, looking exceptionally gorgeous.

As soon as the insect's mountain-like body finished reorganizing, the middle head raised its head, its eyes staring coldly at the high sky without saying a word.

As for the other two heads, their eyes were tightly closed and motionless, with no expression on their faces, as if they were dead objects.

After a moment's work, light flashed above the abyss, and three escape lights shot down.

As the light converged, three figures appeared simultaneously about a hundred zhang away above.

They were exactly Han Li, Baohua, and Daoist Crab.

At such a close distance, Han Li and Baohua naturally saw the true face of the giant insect below clearly, and their expressions were both stunned.

The giant insect after reorganizing its flesh and blood was completely different in appearance from the shell that everyone had destroyed on the water's surface earlier, as if they were two completely different giant insects.

What made Han Li and Baohua even more shocked was the face on the middle head of the insect, which was similar to the young girl earlier, and its cold gaze staring at everyone.

"This is the body of the Mother of Ming Insects. It seems we arrived a step late; it has actually woken up," Baohua said, her expression somewhat ugly.

"Although the appearance is somewhat different, it shouldn't be wrong," Han Li stared at the human-faced head in the middle of the giant insect and said solemnly.

"Since it is intact, it seems those two fellow daoists have truly fallen," Baohua sighed again.

Han Li's gaze flashed, and he saw the broken objects floating motionless beside the giant insect. His expression moved slightly, and he nodded, but did not say anything more.

"So it's you three little fellows who injured my clone and dared to disturb my recuperation!" The human-faced head of the giant insect below spoke indifferently. Its voice was pleasant and moving, truly like a charming woman.

"Is your excellency truly the Mother of Ming Insects? Did our companions earlier fall victim to your poisonous hands?" Baohua's thoughts raced, but she asked calmly in return.

"Hehe, for two mere Great Ascension stage cultivators from the lower realms to dare to act presumptuously before me, you have naturally long since become a part of my flesh and blood. Very well, since you two are unwilling to answer this seat's questions, then go and keep them company." A charming smile flashed across the giant insect's human-like face, but the words from its mouth were exceptionally cold.

The moment it finished speaking, it suddenly opened its small mouth, and a cluster of gray threads shot out. After scattering, it transformed into a giant net covering the sky, shrouding the three people above.

Wherever the silk net passed, a stench rushed toward them, making one want to vomit!

Baohua and the three appeared calm, but facing the body of the Mother of Ming Insects, they naturally had long since been twelve times more cautious.

When the gray silk net covered them, Baohua immediately gave a soft shout of "Strike!" Without a word, she raised one hand and flipped it. Suddenly, emerald light shone, and a small tree appeared. Amidst rolling runes, it transformed into a giant pink tree. With countless pink flower petals dancing, it immediately covered the entire void, shrouding the entire void below first.

At the same time, Daoist Crab rolled his body, transforming into a golden giant crab a hundred mu in size. Lightning arcs flashed on his body, and a giant lightning net immediately rose into the air, directly supporting the gray silk net.

As for Han Li, he ignored the actions of Baohua and Daoist Crab. He just shook his sleeve, grabbed with five fingers, and green light appeared in his hand. He grasped the Profound Heaven Slaying Spirit Sword.

Han Li's body suddenly expanded, and the Brahma Saint Dharma form with three heads and six arms appeared behind him. It instantly transformed into a golden body and lunged into his body. After a low roar, purple-gold scales appeared on his skin, and at the same time, countless silver spiritual patterns intertwined on his body surface, condensing into arrays of various sizes. He shook his wrists violently again.

Countless five-colored light rays surged out from the abyss, and like a tidal wave, they submerged into the longsword.

A line of silver characters on the emerald green sword lit up, and the power of the law rippled out. Twelve green lines slashed out.

The twelve green lines were almost connected in the same line. After a flash, they crossed a distance of a hundred zhang, arriving at a place within close range of the giant insect, and slashed down with rolling power.

Clearly, on the way, Baohua, Han Li, and the others had already discussed some countermeasures for facing the Mother of Ming Insects, and the moment they made a move, they immediately divided the work and used their trump card divine abilities simultaneously.

One person was responsible for blocking the Mother of Ming Insects' attack, and one person was responsible for trapping this insect mother.

And one person was responsible for killing this great enemy that made one feel fear from the bottom of their heart in one blow.

If an ordinary Great Ascension stage existence were to face such a seamless, joint strike, they would likely have no choice but to helplessly close their eyes and wait for death.

But that insect mother only raised its eyebrows on its human-faced head. After a bizarre fluctuation arose on its body, it pushed away all the pink flower petal phantoms dancing nearby. One of its limbs, identical to a human arm, raised, and a white, tender finger pointed out.

Black light flashed, and a shining rune shot out from between its fingers, accurately hitting the green line at the very front.

"Puchi!" With a sound, the black rune spun and exploded, and a terrifying law power rolled out.

The twelve green lines, upon contacting this law power, froze, and after an unbelievable tremor, they actually rebounded.

Emerald light flashed, and the green lines bizarrely arrived in front of Han Li and the others.

At this, not only Baohua, but Han Li's expression also changed drastically.

Without thinking, he shook the longsword in his hand violently and slashed out again like lightning, and another twelve green lines flashed out.

After a few muffled sounds of "pu-pu," the twenty-four green lines collided and vanished simultaneously, but a terrifying fluctuation rolled toward Han Li and the others.

Han Li held the Profound Heaven Slaying Spirit Sword upright. The silver characters on its surface lit up, absorbing all the incoming fluctuations. After his body shook, he couldn't help but retreat several steps.

But his repeated use of the Profound Heaven object in this manner made his face turn pale, and his magic power was reduced by a large chunk for no reason.

This was also because Han Li's magic power was far more profound than that of an ordinary Great Ascension stage existence; if it had been any other Great Ascension stage cultivator, they would likely have exhausted their magic power on the spot and suffered the backlash of the Profound Heaven Treasure.

"This is not an ordinary rebound; it is the reverse power of the Time Law!" Seeing this, Baohua couldn't help but cry out. But immediately gritting her silver teeth, she waved one hand, actually breaking off a thick branch of the flower tree in her hand and waving it rapidly toward the void.

But the Mother of Ming Insects seemed to have been prepared for this long ago. After a cold laugh, gray-white light rings shone brilliantly on its body, and circles of bizarre power rolled toward all directions simultaneously.

Large swaths of pink flower petal phantoms were forcibly pushed away by the power of the light rings, and a bizarre void covered in gray-white runes immediately appeared near the giant insect.

"Boom!" With a sound.

A law power slammed into...

At the same time, a law power slammed into the light ring and exploded instantly, actually being forcibly repelled, while the gray-white light ring remained undamaged.

Seeing this, an expression of disbelief appeared on Baohua's jade face.

"Hehe, Profound Heaven Spirit Domain! I truly didn't expect that a mere Great Ascension stage cultivator from the lower realms could actually comprehend this divine ability. It is a pity that you have only grasped a superficial understanding, and what you have formed is merely a pseudo-spirit domain. Wanting to deal with me is nothing but a daydream. How about this! Before you are turned into my flesh and blood, this seat will let you witness what a true Profound Heaven Spirit Domain looks like." The Mother of Myriad Insects gave a gloomy laugh, then suddenly, its two forelimbs simultaneously formed a seal, and as it chanted, the gray-white halo on its body began to rotate rapidly, faster and faster.

After a blur, all the light in the entire abyss dimmed, and the light rings vanished in a flash.
