The moment the insect swarm appeared, it launched an attack on all cultivators present.

Their offensive had no pattern, yet was ferocious enough to chill the heart.

A horde of Mo insects surged toward the Secret Realm Entrance like a locust plague.

Those cultivators attacking the Chaos Lords were caught off guard; the insect swarm tore open their defense line from behind, and several Spirit Transformation cultivators didn't even have time to withdraw their magic treasures before they were wrapped into insect cocoons by the dense swarm.

In a few breaths, both people and magic treasures were gnawed clean.

Another batch of Ruo insects charged straight at those cultivators still watching from the sidelines.

Their forms kept shifting during the charge.

Some were in centipede form one moment, then the next split open from the back to extend a pair of membrane wings covered in backward-facing barbs, their speed multiplying several times over.

Some actively shed their carapaces mid-charge, revealing soft bodies beneath coated in mucus; the mucus dripped into the Chaos Fog, corroding black miasma trails in the fog itself.

Even more insects lunged at the Chaos Lords surrounding the Secret Realm.

In their eyes, the Chaos Lords were likewise prey.

A Chaos Lord's tentacles had just coiled around several cultivators, not yet stuffed into its mouth, when tens of thousands of insects covered the entire tentacle.

The insects burrowed inside the tentacle, gnawing it from inside out into a hollow shell.

"They've gone mad!"

"These insects don't even spare the Chaos Lords!"

"They don't seem to put anything in their eyes at all!"

The cultivators' faces changed at the sight.

One by one they were forced to halt their mutual struggles and turn to resist the insect swarm's onslaught with all their might.

And right in the midst of this chaos, a portion of the insect swarm split off, heading straight for the flat boat where Xu Zhangqing and Zhao Ziyue were.

This batch of insects was completely different from the surrounding Mo insects and Ruo insects.

Leading them were three Soul-Devouring Insects; their bodies were not large, only about ten zhang long, their whole bodies a semi-transparent dark blue, and one could see they had no five viscera and six bowels inside, only a cluster of constantly surging gray mist.

In truth, those were the Divine Soul Fragments they had devoured.

The Soul-Devouring Insects' speed reached the extreme; their flight trajectories completely defied common sense — clearly moving in a straight line, the next second they appeared at another position, as if able to jump through space.

Behind the Soul-Devouring Insects followed a Nest Insect over ten zhang in size.

This Nest Insect's carapace was covered in dense veins; dark green mysterious liquid flowed within the veins, and each pulse emitted a bizarre aura.

On its back it carried an entire miniature insect nest; the nest's surface constantly had new insects drilling out of egg shells, joining battle the moment they hatched.

"If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"

The Soul-Devouring Insects' consciousness fluctuations turned into a will of oppression cold to the extreme.

They hadn't come to negotiate, but to clear the field.

The Chaos Fog around the flat boat stagnated, shaken by this will.

Xu Zhangqing stood at the bow, hands tucked in his sleeves, not even raising an eyelid.

"Sigh~"

Zhao Ziyue sighed, lifting the bamboo fishing rod in his hand: "You insects, have you stayed in the Vacuum Homeland so long you've forgotten where this is?"

As his words fell, he extended a finger and lightly tapped the void before the flat boat.

Where the finger fell, the Chaos Sea surface violently trembled.

With the flat boat as center, the Chaos Sea surface within a radius of three hundred li simultaneously sank downward, forming a gigantic, suffocating arc-shaped water ring.

That water ring did not sink down, but rose up.

Gray-white Chaos Sea water defied common sense, peeling from the sea surface like a living thing and flowing upward in reverse, building behind Zhao Ziyue a ring-shaped water curtain reaching a thousand zhang high.

Within the water curtain, one could faintly see countless ancient sea beast phantoms surging and swimming, each emitting a terrifying aura no less than a Chaos Lord's.

Immediately after, Zhao Ziyue flicked the fishing rod; the line cut through the void like a silver lightning bolt, plunging straight into that ring-shaped water curtain.

The water curtain violently exploded, and a thousand-zhang water dragon composed entirely of Chaos Sea water roared out, opening a maw large enough to swallow a town, biting toward the insect swarm.

The Soul-Devouring Insects reacted instantly.

Their forms continuously jumped through space, attempting to bypass the water dragon's frontal assault and directly attack Zhao Ziyue on the flat boat.

However, the moment they completed a space jump, before they could even lock onto Zhao Ziyue's position, countless fine water threads emerged in the surrounding space.

These water threads had long been laid by Zhao Ziyue at every nearby space node.

Therefore, the Soul-Devouring Insects' space jumps happened to fall into the water threads' strangulation range.

Zhao Ziyue lightly shook the fishing rod: "Where water exists, there Gui Xu exists.

Playing space jumps in the Chaos Sea — do you think you're Xian Xu Jun?"

The water threads simultaneously tightened; the three Soul-Devouring Insects were strangled to pieces.

The Divine Soul Fragments inside them exploded; before they could dissipate, they were absorbed by the water threads.

Seeing the situation turn bad, the Nest Insect's back nest violently burst; countless still-hatching insect eggs sprayed in all directions like a rainstorm, attempting to use numerical superiority to break through Zhao Ziyue's water curtain defense.

However, before the eggs could fly a hundred zhang, countless palms condensed from Chaos Sea water reached out from the sea surface, each palm precisely gripping one egg, then lightly squeezing — crushing them to pieces on the spot.

The Nest Insect let out a hoarse miserable scream and turned to flee.

Zhao Ziyue didn't even glance at it; another thousand-zhang water dragon surged from the water curtain behind him, soaring skyward from directly beneath the Nest Insect, swallowing insect and nest clean in one gulp.

From Zhao Ziyue's move to the insect swarm's total annihilation, the whole process took no more than a dozen breaths.

The area around the small boat returned to calm.

"Solved."

Zhao Ziyue set up the fishing rod again, his tone as if speaking of a trivial small matter.

Xu Zhangqing nodded, his gaze quite calm.

The Agent of the Lord of Gui Xu could not possibly fail to deal with a few mere insects.

The Xiuxian Zhe all around who saw this scene were all shocked.

The Insect Swarm of the Vacuum Homeland was, in their eyes, already an existence not to be provoked, yet it was wiped out cleanly by this sour scholar with a raise of his hand.

The Agent of the Lord of Gui Xu, truly lives up to his reputation.

Just at this time, in the extremely deep distance, a streak of golden light exploded without any warning.

It did not spread in a straight line, but rather in an extremely slow, extremely heavy way, unfolding outward.

Where the golden light passed through, the Chaos Fog was peeled away layer by layer, revealing the darkness deeper in the Chaos Sea that no one has ever fully glimpsed.

Golden light and darkness intertwined, forming a strange pattern of light and dark; at the center of the pattern, an object could be seen rotating.

"Supreme Treasure!"

"Another Supreme Treasure has appeared!"

"Charge!"

In an instant, whether it was the Xiuxian Zhe currently resisting the Insect Swarm, or the Xiuxian Zhe currently besieging the Chaos Lord, even those insects that had just been struggling with the Xiuxian Zhe, all stopped.

The gazes of all "people" focused on that golden light.

Immediately after, countless Escape Lights and Insect Swarms simultaneously changed direction, rushing madly toward the position where the golden light exploded.

Zhao Ziyue and Xu Zhangqing looked at each other: "Go!"
