Chapter 669: All Means Exhausted

Glancing at the gray-robed man transformed from the Chaos Insect King before him, a flash of sharp light crossed Jialuoluo's eyes. He did not know how to describe his current mood; a True Immortal had always been a figure looked up to by the world, yet here he was, facing this Spirit Insect that had survived since the dawn of heaven and earth!

Jialuoluo felt a sense of powerlessness! With everyone joining forces, they had not even managed to injure a single bit of the opponent's skin or flesh so far. Could this be the might of heaven and earth's creation? And this was still a Spirit Insect that had been trapped for over ten thousand years; it was not hard to imagine how tragic the "Ten Thousand Year Calamity" war must have been back then!

In the distance, the golden Great Buddha pressed both hands against the swastika symbol, and countless Golden Light surged out from it. It appeared to be using its full strength, but the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image below was roaring with a sound that shook the heavens. He believed that in no time at all, the Great Buddha would exhaust its power!

On the other side, the few surviving cultivators all cast their gazes toward Zhang Nuo! At this moment, Zhang Nuo's body had transformed into a two-headed giant wolf and was locked in a chaotic battle with the golden beetle separated from the Chaos Insect King!

The giant wolf's claws struck the golden beetle's body repeatedly, but they could not break through its hard flesh at all. Instead, several wounds appeared on the surface of the giant wolf's body that Zhang Nuo had transformed into!

Everyone in their hearts understood that with the sturdiness of Zhang Nuo's physical body, even ordinary Magic Treasure would find it hard to injure him in the slightest, yet they had not expected this golden beetle to be so sharp!

"True Immortal! If you agree to join forces with this Emperor, this Emperor can still leave you a path to survival!"

Looking at Jialuoluo, who was blocking in front of Monk Moke, the Chaos Insect King said indifferently. His voice was not very loud, but Jialuoluo heard it clearly and distinctly!

Join forces! If he were to join forces with the Insect King, he feared that not a single person here would be able to leave alive! But what about after joining forces? Would the Insect King really let him go?

With a light smile, Jialuoluo licked his somewhat dry lips, and his wavering gaze suddenly hardened! He said in a deep voice:

"Chaos Insect King! You are indeed very powerful, but even the most powerful creature has weaknesses; it is just that we have not discovered them yet!"

The moment these words left his mouth, the Chaos Insect King's expression changed! With a backhanded wave, the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image in the distance let out a thunderous roar. Immediately, the Golden Light on its body surged, and with a wrap, it enveloped Monk Moke's giant Buddha statue. Following a loud, rumbling explosion, the Buddha statue vanished into nothingness!

"Weaknesses? Hmph! This Emperor has existed since the dawn of heaven and earth; where would there be any weaknesses? On the contrary, you low-level creatures have countless weaknesses all over your bodies! See for yourself, before this Emperor, all attacks are futile!"

Pointing at the shattered giant Buddha statue, the Insect King said disdainfully.

The moment the Buddha statue was destroyed, the Divine Sea vision behind Monk Moke instantly vanished. The monk floated in mid-air, pale and looking like a deflated ball!

The Buddha statue was formed from the monk's entire essence. Although it could not compare to Zhang Nuo's Phantom Immortal Dharma Image or the Chaos Insect King's Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image, once damaged, it would cause his power to drop significantly!

"Go to Fairy Qianqian's side!"

Turning his head back, Jialuoluo pointed a finger at Monk Moke. A ball of white Qi immediately enveloped him, and the next moment, a black streak flashed within Qianqian's five-colored light barrier, and Monk Moke appeared inside!

"Daoist Moke, are you alright?"

Looking at the monk's pale face, Ai Yuchen stepped forward to ask.

"It is nothing! I have only lost some true essence!"

The monk spoke lightly, but Ai Yuchen understood in her heart how important a cultivator's true essence was; even losing a little would cause severe damage to one's vitality. Judging by Monk Moke's appearance, he would need at least several decades of recuperation to recover to his original state!

Just as this woman was thinking about the monk's situation, a loud boom suddenly erupted in the sky of Wujian Diyu. Jialuoluo and the Chaos Insect King were fighting together. Relying on his strange movement techniques and a body of not-so-weak divine abilities, he could barely fight the Insect King to a draw!

The others stood on the periphery of the two's battle circle, striking the Insect King whenever they saw an opportunity, which made the Chaos Insect King extremely frustrated! These Great Accomplishment Stage existences were actually learning to be villains, launching sneak attacks and striking from behind!

Because his previous External Incarnation had all been destroyed by the Sword Formation, the Insect King was anxious but helpless at this moment! He could only carefully dodge everyone's attacks while simultaneously having to attend to Jialuoluo before him!

Under such containment by the group, Jialuoluo still could not gain the upper hand. Even though he had exhausted all his means, he still could not do anything to the Chaos Insect King!

At this time, Zhang Nuo was fighting that giant golden beetle. His body, transformed into a giant wolf, had already suffered multiple injuries and was dripping with blood!

"Master, this cannot go on. You must flee to a place further away so that the Insect King's true self cannot sense my existence! I have a way to slay this insect!"

Just as he was filled with mixed feelings, Xuanjin's voice came from within Zhang Nuo's body. Hearing this, Zhang Nuo's spirit was lifted. Yellow electric arcs flashed over the giant wolf's body, and he charged into the distance, covering ten thousand miles in a single step!

The golden beetle thought he was trying to escape and, unwilling to let him go, surged with Golden Light and chased after him closely! In the blink of an eye, the man and the insect disappeared into the depths of Wujian Diyu!

In the high sky tens of thousands of miles away, Zhang Nuo's figure flickered, and Xuanjin immediately appeared! At this moment, Xuanjin's expression was extremely ugly, but because the distance was too great, the Chaos Insect King had no way to recall him!

Looking back at the golden beetle chasing toward them, Xuanjin did not say much. With a sudden opening of his mouth, a fist-sized, rhombic Five-Colored Crystal Stone was spat out!

Seeing this crystal stone, Zhang Nuo almost cried out. The crystal was divided into five colors: white, black, green, yellow, and purple; it was precisely the Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone!

He had not expected that at such a critical moment, Xuanjin would actually produce a complete Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone. However, what Zhang Nuo found somewhat puzzling was that he did not have any weapon to repair right now, so why did Xuanjin take this thing out?

"Master! The complete Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone, besides its function of repairing weapons, is also an extremely hard object. It can be said that it is indestructible to all things in the world! To slay the Chaos Insect King, we must use it!"

After saying these few words with great effort, Xuanjin handed the Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone to Zhang Nuo! Taking the crystal and squeezing it with all his might, Zhang Nuo found that even with his full strength, he could not damage it in the slightest!

"Thank you, Xuanjin! Return to my body first! If too much time passes, it will be bad if the Chaos Insect King senses your existence!"

To Zhang Nuo, Xuanjin was a part of his body and could never be missing. But to the Chaos Insect King, Xuanjin was merely a tiny fraction of his power, and recalling him was only to weaken Zhang Nuo's cultivation!

Hearing this, Xuanjin's figure flashed and turned into a streak of Golden Light, drilling into Zhang Nuo's body. At the same time, the Yin and Yang Qi wrapped around him once more, sealing the aura of his entire body!

Meanwhile, the golden beetle arrived in front of Zhang Nuo in a flash. With a wild roar from its insect mouth, it seemed intent on tearing him into pieces!

A cold light flashed in Zhang Nuo's eyes as he gripped the Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone in his hand tightly, rapidly injecting his Spiritual Qi into it! At this moment, the golden beetle had already gathered its strength and charged toward him, and Zhang Nuo likewise flickered and met it head-on!

High above, the Chaos Insect King, who was battling Jialuoluo, suddenly froze. He then unleashed several moves, forcing Jialuoluo back. His expression changed slightly, and he muttered to himself:

"This is impossible! How could the Gold-Devouring Insect I separated die?"

His expression was uncertain. At this time, Jialuoluo also noticed that something was wrong with him. Scanning the surroundings, he discovered that Zhang Nuo was gone, leaving only his Phantom Immortal Dharma Image standing in the high sky not far away!

Just as Jialuoluo wanted to charge toward the Chaos Insect King again, a figure sped over from the distant sky and appeared before everyone after a few flickers! It was Zhang Nuo!

At this moment, Zhang Nuo had already returned to his human form. A faint smile appeared on his face, and there were faint bloodstains on his plain robe; he looked full of confidence!

The others were fine, but when the Chaos Insect King saw Zhang Nuo, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his expression changed drastically.

"How did you kill the Gold-Devouring Insect?"

The moment his words left his mouth, everyone present looked at Zhang Nuo in astonishment. That giant golden beetle had been separated from the Insect King's own body. Judging by how Zhang Nuo had been fighting it here just a moment ago, it was at most a draw; how could he have killed it after being away for only a short time?

"This Emperor does not take a mere Gold-Devouring Insect to heart!"

Zhang Nuo said indifferently, his eyes narrowing slightly as he put on a mysterious air!

At the same time, his lips moved slightly as he sent a sound transmission to everyone present!

"Does anyone among you have a way to trap the Insect King in place, even for a short time? Zhang has a way to slay him!"

Hearing the sound transmission, their expressions changed simultaneously. Even the True Immortal Jialuoluo could not do anything to the Chaos Insect King; did Zhang Nuo really have a way to kill him?

But the current situation did not allow them to think too much, so Yanluo Tianzi immediately sent a sound transmission back!

"This old man has a divine ability that can trap the Insect King for a while, though I do not know for how long!"

"Just a little bit of time is enough!"

Zhang Nuo's gaze shifted and landed on Yanluo Tianzi!

At this moment, the Chaos Insect King knew that Zhang Nuo and the others were conspiring, but he did not know what they were discussing. Furthermore, with the Gold-Devouring Insect slain, he moved his body and lunged directly toward Zhang Nuo!

Additionally, the Three Heads and Six Arms Chaos Dharma Image did not fall behind at all; it flickered wildly and likewise charged toward Zhang Nuo!

"Senior Garuda, help me!"

Arcs of electricity surged over Zhang Nuo's body, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from where he stood; the next moment, he arrived at Garuda's side, and at the same time, five streaks of lightning flashed across his body surface, manifesting the Five Thunder Clone! On the other side, as the space behind him twisted, his Divine Sea phenomenon also appeared!
