Chapter 158: Alchemical Formation

Crack! The alien insects tore open their green egg-shaped protective covering and successfully stepped onto Fengdu's territory.

And at the moment they truly set foot on Fengdu's land.

At the edge of Fengdu city, a sudden gold light flashed and swiftly swept across the ground along an arc.

That golden, dazzling, powerful force continuously rose from underground, growing brighter and brighter.

Countless rays shot up into the sky, forming a light curtain that tightly bound Fengdu city.

The golden light curtain kept spreading toward the sky; upon contact with the alien insects, golden flames suddenly boiled, devouring the alien insects completely.

The endpoint of the golden light curtain was the already torn sky, a spatial portal opened by forcibly ripping space.

It cannot be closed, but it can restrict whatever emerges from the spatial portal within a certain range.

Looking down from the sky, a circular light curtain rose from Fengdu's edge, completely encircling the entire city.

Within the circular light circle, light continuously connected, finally forming a large alchemical formation that wrapped Fengdu and the spatial portal above it entirely.

Most of Jiang Xia's lifespan was also consumed by this alchemical formation.

Even if he obtained all recorded alchemical data on Earth from the Earth Library, Fengdu's range was still too vast.

Using the alchemical formation of the alchemist Kara from 800 years ago as a blueprint, and with countless clones learning under those conditions, he finally produced an alchemical formation specifically targeting such special lifeforms as alien insects.

The price Jiang Xia had to pay was merely lifespan and energy.

There was no time left to use desire coins; in a situation of having nothing, this was the fastest and most secure plan.

As the alien insects descending on Fengdu's edge were covered by the light circle, golden flames spontaneously ignited on their originally green shells.

That shell, capable of blocking sword slashes, melted in just seconds; the light flame pierced into their bodies, began incessant burning, until they were completely incinerated.

However, the alien insects descending on Fengdu's central point stepped onto the gate of a new world.

At the very moment they landed, they emitted an inaudible roar.

A ray of light emanated from the alien insects' green, wrinkled-skinned bodies.

Mimicry—this is the best way to understand this world.

After mimicry, one can kill their original self and then replace them to live in this world.

With the ability to imitate memories as well, they have conquered many worlds using this.

"Come, I will take over your life and live safely in this world."

A middle-aged man looked coldly at his exact duplicate.

"You monster, don't come near me!" he roared, but his trembling body still revealed his inner fear.

The middle-aged man kept throwing things at his other self, but to no avail.

Even a newly hatched alien insect is far stronger than a human body.

Next, his other self's eyes turned cold, devoid of any emotion.

Those black eyes flashed with black light, pupils instantly dilated, his expression became extremely indifferent:

"This is your fate—become food for my evolution."

Alien insect evolution refers to molting, from larva to adult, shedding the shell to become a stronger existence.

Originally, alien insect molting was relatively easy, but the planet they now inhabit has extremely scarce food.

The entire planet has been occupied by the Insect Race, leaving no other resources to support large-scale molting of alien insects.

This planet is rich in resources, hosts intelligent life, and individuals are not strong, making it suitable for invasion via mimicry.

Such a perfect planet naturally became their target.

Once again, the human body began to swell and wriggle, as if something tried to break out of its shell, while his head was covered by green light, becoming blurred.

Two different faces' phantoms overlapped: one honest, with black eye sockets, a middle-aged man.

The other had outward-turned teeth, a ferocious and ugly insect face.

It extended its gaunt claws, directly gripping the middle-aged man's neck, then opened its blade-filled maw, attempting to swallow him whole.

The middle-aged man feebly punched the alien insect with his hand; he wanted to live, not to become food for the insect.

Suddenly, he saw a more terrifying face appear behind the alien insect.

Its eyes flashed red light, muscles rippled across its body, its gaunt frame stepped on the ground, spikes on its back pointed straight to the sky, its hand claws resembled sharp daggers, and behind it was a thick tail.

Compared to the alien insect before him, this monster resembled a true alien insect more closely.

"So, in the eyes of the Insect Race monsters, my body is also considered a treasure."

He widened his eyes, the sensation of suffocation already filling his brain; he unwillingly watched the two monsters surround him.

Pfft!

That thick tail tore the air, emitting a dull buzzing sound—it was a steel long tail capable of tearing human flesh.

In his astonished gaze, that thick steel long tail directly pierced the alien insect gripping his neck.

Thud! He collapsed to the ground.

The alien insect's body pierced by the tail was directly melted by its power.

Delasi's steel long tail behind him suddenly burst forth with suction, drawing the melted alien insect dry into Delasi's tail.

That was Delasi's food source; the recreated Delasi initially needed to soak in a culture tank.

But once active, it only required food—or rather, energy supply.

"Won't you eat me?" he blurted out, watching Delasi turn and walk away.

But as soon as he spoke, he wanted to slap himself, reminding this madman what he was doing—simply seeking death.

"You carry your master's scent; you are a friend, Delasi cannot harm friends."

After saying that, Delasi behind him unfolded a pair of metal double wings and began flying toward the sky.

The supercomputer inside his body told him he still needed to kill many, many enemies—those without the master's scent were all destined to die.

This scene simultaneously occurred everywhere in Fengdu; countless Delasi kept emerging from various places to begin slaughter.

Zuo Xiangtao saw this scene and said, "Monsters actually protect humans?"

No, this is not a monster, but a biological weapon. Their creator had foreseen the arrival of the Alien Insects, then produced them ahead of time and set their attack target.

Philip analyzed Delasi's data and said.

But the strange thing is, he couldn't find out who made it, and his clearance in the Earth Library wasn't enough.

Besides Yuansai, he had still encountered this situation once, and he couldn't even touch the books.

What's related to Yuansai is a lock, and what's related to Delasi's creator is that even the books can't be touched.

Xiangtao also calmly watched Delasi kill humans—though they had a human appearance, their hearts were Alien Insects.

Mimicked people can also be killed, and there is no thought of holding back against the enemy.

And now he seems to be able to tell the difference between mimicked people and real humans.

It seems that mimicked people lack something, and that is what allowed Xiangtao to distinguish them.

Delasi kills without fail, whether they are Alien Insects in human guise or in their original form.

Moreover, his methods are extremely cruel—piercing the chest, tearing open, biting to death, blowing up with weapons.

They all have tails installed to clean up Alien Insect carcasses, after all, there is no method in Jia Dou World to kill Alien Insects at the atomic level.

And Delasi, who had consumed Alien Insect bloodlines, evolved in the ensuing slaughter.

Their speed also kept increasing, and the Alien Insects' talents were perfectly replicated within them.

This is what is called ClockUp, but their numbers, compared to the Alien Insect army, are like a drop in the ocean.

Jiang Xia watched the Alien Insects falling like dumplings being dropped, and said:

"This is just the beginning; I still have a trump card in my hand."
