Chapter 222: End of Time

Sheng Valley, inside the underground laboratory.

"Come back."

Jiang Xia waved his hand, various insect instruments instantly turned into streams of light, recalled into the panel, and finally he also recalled kival, leaving only the Jia Dou Insect Instrument.

"henshin (transformation)"

Jiang Xia's metal knight belt appeared out of thin air, and the power of the Alien Insect Queen also surfaced within his body; he grabbed the Jia Dou Insect Instrument and fastened it at his waist.

In his sight, intertwined time axes appeared; time suddenly slowed in his eyes, and the Sea Pa Worm, ignoring this already stagnant time, instantly appeared at the side of the belt.

His purpose in creating the Haipa Insect Instrument was to gain the ability to travel through various different time axes, that is, the ability to go back to the past and change the future.

The power of the Alien Insect and the power of the Sea Pa Worm are mutually combining.

At this moment the laboratory seemed to be hit by a hurricane; the entire underground trembled in this abnormal time turbulence, and even without the Sea Pa Worm, Jiang Xia could transform beyond Jia Dou.

But now, just as he had expected, the Sea Pa Worm he created not only strengthened his own temporal power, but also gained some special abilities.

"HYPEECASTOFF."

Jiang Xia pressed the Sea Pa Worm at his waist; his original ability to control the flow speed of time particles expanded again, and the Jia Dou Insect Instrument began to show electric arcs.

His horn protruded, green light circles layered over his whole body, the chest armor opened, the surrounding spacetime storm grew stronger and fiercer, the splendid transparent deployment behind him, and the surrounding buildings seemed to be overlaid with a layer of colorful aurora.

"Swish!"

Beyond Jia Dou vanished instantly, as if it had never appeared.

Countless chaotic, strongly suggestive images flashed before Jiang Xia's eyes; without explanation, he naturally knew they were scenes from different times.

Past, present, and future are intertwined together.

He raised his head and looked ahead; the originally divergent time axes all disappeared.

Before Jiang Xia could adapt to this impact, the Sea Pa Worm at his waist activated again; this time it was not him activating it, but the Sea Pa Worm self-activated, instantly transferring his body to an unknown place.

"Where is this?" Jiang Xia looked around, puzzled.

The sky seemed to be fixed by something, with no day-night change; the sky here had nothing, looking around, the view seemed as if an artificial filter had been added, making the environment extremely hazy and unreal.

The surroundings were like a grass-covered plain, but desolate, devoid of any signs of life.

In Jiang Xia's field of view, at some point the originally swift-flowing bright time particles had nearly stagnated here, as if time were not flowing.

The environment here also feels somewhat unreal; merely standing here feels like having reached the end of time, where time does not flow, causing an unnatural sense of peace and tranquility.

Jiang Xia usually likes such quiet places, but this time he felt a bit annoyed, even sensing a hint of aversion and disgust.

He suddenly sensed something; a strong sense of crisis rose from his heart.

At this moment, the horizon at the edge of Jiang Xia's vision suddenly lit up, as if the sun were rising from the sea surface.

In this timeless alien space, a blinding light shot from afar toward Jiang Xia.

That beam of light quickly spread; the originally stationary time particles, like sardines encountering a shark, began to flee in all directions, and the sky without day-night change was instantly swallowed by that bluish-green hue.

Jiang Xia saw clearly that the thing capable of covering the sky, the power within his body constantly warned him that danger was approaching.

What illuminated the sky was not light, but its massive body; its aura continuously spread, firmly locking onto Jiang Xia.

"Has the decisive battle come early?" Jiang Xia whispered.

That bluish-green hue in the sky grew brighter and brighter, while the surrounding time flowed by at breakneck speed.

Although Jiang Xia's body does not change with alterations in time, such power capable of affecting such a vast time flow still made him feel pressure.

Suddenly, many whip-like vines stretched out from the sky.

Although called whips, their width, or thickness, was already comparable to some prehistoric giant pythons.

Even their thinnest parts were equivalent to three grown adults bound together.

The irregular green crystals on those vines constantly reflected Jiang Xia's body, like insect compound eyes, dividing his body into countless parts.

They possessed the power to split mountains and rocks, with near-instantaneous speed, continually launching attacks against Jiang Xia.

Such attacks might be devastating to other life forms, but against him they were still far from enough.

Jiang Xia raised his hand; a broad sword blade instantly struck the incoming vine whips away.

When the sword blade struck, those vine whips covered in green crystals emitted a bursting sound.

The crack between them quickly extended toward the base of the vine whip, and a white impact exploded inside the crack.

That thick vine whip could indeed not block Jiang Xia's attack, but shattering it also indeed wasted him a few seconds; if this continued, the vine whips hanging in the sky would eventually hit him one day.

"Finally found you, monster who stole my power."

A voice full of hatred and icy cold came from the sky already covered in bluish-green.

Such a voice spread to every corner here; the sky seemed to have countless bluish-green transparent mirrors, with light repeatedly reflecting off the myriad mirrors hanging in the sky.

But now the sky mirror suspended high above only displayed a single person's silhouette.

Such obsession is required to produce this morbid practice of copying a person's likeness tens of thousands of times, displaying it with 360-degree, no-blind-spot coverage.

Every move Jiang Xia made, every sword swing, would be preserved by it as an eternal collectible.

A gale rose in the void, and the surrounding grass began to sway back and forth, looking like rolling stormy waves, layer upon layer.

"Compared to my appearance, you look more like a monster, a tentacled worm monster."

Jiang Xia again cut through the vine whip, looking upward at the countless reflections of Haipa Jia Dou's figures, he let out a light laugh.

Regardless of power, one may lose a person but not the formation; moreover, he might not necessarily lose.

He indeed had not expected that merely testing Haipa Jia Dou's time-travel ability would cause his target to appear ahead of schedule, within a timeless alien space.

But since it has already appeared, he can only grit his teeth and go forward.

Although he is not yet ready, some things will not wait for you to be prepared before they appear.

What's more, both sides regard each other as their target—one wants to reclaim the power originally his own, the other wants to completely devour the opponent.

But why did the Sea Pa Worm bring him here, why did the Alien Insect Queen appear here, and where did the original Alien Insect asteroid go?

These questions can only be answered after the fight.

Jiang Xia forcefully pressed the button on the Hundred Insect Sword, and five insect instruments sprayed out from his body, turning into streams of light that completely filled the blade of the Hundred Insect Sword.

The already broad blade rapidly extended, twisted and expanded, the insect instruments and the power contained within Jiang Xia himself all gathered together, the buckles on the blade clicked loudly into place, and the translucent wings behind fully unfolded.

Originally scattered time particles instantly reversed flow, and the Hundred Insect Sword completely transformed into a huge pillar of light that pierced heaven and earth.

Jiang Xia gripped tightly, the wings behind him carrying his current body, shooting straight up into the sky.
