Chapter 4942

Ryuna Ryugū: "NB."

Under the explanation of the guild members, Ryuna Ryugū, having fully grasped the cause and effect, now wore a face full of awe.

Katsuragi Iba: "Victory has, at this moment, been firmly placed in our hands."

Su Han said nothing; he merely gazed quietly downward.

As Zhang Yida clarified his thoughts, he no longer hesitated, gave a command, and the Shadow Ninjas and Deep Divers joined forces to forcibly capture vast numbers of living insects to forge the foundation of the altar.

Then, Zhang Yida stood atop the platform and loudly chanted ancient, incomprehensible words. Not long after, black radiance appeared around his body.

The dense swarm of insects clearly sensed something amiss at this moment.

Under the control of the Insect Sovereign, they emitted piercing cries, then surged en masse toward Zhang Yida.

"Do you think I'm already dead?" Bai Zhantang spoke coldly. He struck decisively, annihilating over ninety percent of the insects rushing toward him.

The remaining insects, no matter how fiercely they raged, could not break through the Shadow Ninjas and Deep Divers army Zhang Yida had pre-deployed.

Time dripped away, second by second.

When Zhang Yida uttered the final syllable, brilliant, chilling black radiance spread outward in all directions… everything—everything—was being destroyed, erased, devoured…

The old man drew a sharp breath, his expression dazed; after a long while, he murmured, "This scene… is no different from the end of the world."

Ye Cunxin let out a bitter laugh.

The end of the world? If Zhang Yida had not unleashed this technique within the mirror world… in the outside world, this truly would have been the end of the world…

After all, within the range of the black light, all life that had not reached a certain level of strength would die.

When the radiance slowly faded, the scene revealed to everyone on the plane caused them to draw another sharp breath.

Nothing remained… at this moment, apart from a mere few hundred insects, there was nothing…

Recalling the earlier dense, overwhelming insect horde that had nearly crushed all will to resist… and now seeing this scene, the old man felt dizzy, wondering if he were dreaming.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the insects no longer fought recklessly or fearlessly. They stood motionless upon the earth or hovered cautiously in the sky.

A heavy, wary voice suddenly rang out: "What… did you just do?"

It was unmistakably the Insect Sovereign speaking. He was afraid—because at this moment, he truly felt the possibility of his own death.

"What did we do? We merely did what was needed to send you on your way," Bai Zhantang said calmly. He suddenly pushed forward, and the powerful artifacts beside him blazed with brilliant light.

He wielded these artifacts and charged forward.

"Wait… let us temporarily cease hostilities. I can retreat to my original world and swear never to invade yours again! Moreover, I am willing to pay a vast amount of resources—steel, gold, silver, treasures… whatever you need."

"War is waged solely to gain advantage, is it not? I can give you everything you desire."

Yet Bai Zhantang merely slammed the Book of Divine Enfeoffment down with force: "But now, I want only your insect life."

As this supreme divine artifact fell, it unleashed an unimaginable divine aura—like an ancient sage stepping forth from primordial myth, descending a hand capable of shattering all things.

Only half a minute passed before all the insects were utterly slain by Bai Zhantang.

At that very moment, a crisp notification tone suddenly rang out in the ears of the many guild members present.

"Ding! Guild mission completed! Zhang Yida gains 150,000 points. Su Xiao Xiao gains 30,000 points. Ye Cunxin gains 5,000 points. An Ran gains 5,000 points. Bai Zhantang gains 160,000 points."
