Chapter 1123: I Overestimated You

At a glance, those pitch-black things crawled at an astonishing speed, covering several li in the blink of an eye, as if teleporting.

"Doom Calamity."

Lin Fan roared, and behind him, a mass of doom aura cascaded like a waterfall, blotting out the entire sky. Then he punched out, unleashing an irresistible force.

"All of you, just die!"

He hadn't expected these creatures to be so bizarre, silently slaughtering tens of thousands of disciples—truly terrifying.

The doom aura erupted, and a vast power descended from the heavens, smashing toward the pitch-black things.

Suddenly, sharp screeches echoed through the void. The pitch-black things halted, and under Lin Fan's astonished gaze, they shrank continuously, then vanished instantly into the sky. This left him puzzled, unsure of what was happening, but he had to stay alert.

The vast mass of pitch-black things had suddenly disappeared, which he found impossible.

Plop!

Suddenly, Lin Fan noticed a black speck on his skin.

"This..."

He wouldn't forget what this was. He had seen these specks on the disciples and also on the Imperial Spirit Ancestor.

In an instant, the specks multiplied, completely enveloping Lin Fan. When he looked closely, he realized they were bizarre black insects.

"Ding, congratulations, experience +1."

The system's voice came—this was an increase in physical experience.

These black insects were attacking him.

"Courting death."

Flames blazed, and Lin Fan's body suddenly burst into fire, burning the black insects to death. Under the flames, the tiny black bugs let out shrill cries, crisp yet somewhat muffled.

They fell in clumps, then turned to ash, scattering across the sky.

"Come out! Who are you?" Lin Fan stared into the void and bellowed.

He now understood why the disciples had died without resistance. These bugs only registered on his senses when they landed on him; for the disciples, escape was impossible.

His physical body was extremely tough, able to withstand the attacks of these black bugs. For the disciples, they could only be torn apart.

"I didn't expect a native to withstand the attacks of my lovely children."

At that moment, the void trembled violently, and a figure appeared in Lin Fan's sight.

Lin Fan frowned. The figure was humanoid but not human.

Six insect tentacles extended from its back. It wore armor that constantly shifted colors and seemed to writhe. Upon closer inspection, the armor was actually composed of insects.

"Who are you?" Lin Fan asked.

"Haha, native, remember this: I am the Insect God." The Insect God floated in the void, his voice resonant yet carrying a sinister chill, utterly eerie.

"The Insect God, huh?" Lin Fan murmured, then looked at the Insect God. This god's strength wasn't as formidable as the Future Boundless King Buddha, but his methods were surely bizarre—he would have to be extremely careful.

But no matter how bizarre the Insect God's methods, his fate was sealed: death.

"You natives are too weak. Those just now were all devoured by my children. Especially that Immortal King realm ancestor—too weak. He died without knowing why. Truly pathetic." The Insect God laughed, each laugh revealing a grotesque insect mouth that was nauseating.

"Go to hell!"

Boom!

Lin Fan stamped on the sky and charged at the Insect God, divine arts suppressing, light illuminating heaven and earth. With unmatched might, he bore down overwhelmingly.

"Native, don't waste your strength. You cannot defeat me." The Insect God sneered, then opened his mouth wide, spewing a torrent of insect swarm. Wherever the swarm passed, even the void corroded.

Lin Fan took out the Eternal Axe. Axe light flashed, splitting the sky, and struck the insect swarm directly. The swarm was cleaved apart, and the exploding blood mist did not dissipate but sizzled and flowed like water, surrounding Lin Fan from all sides.

"Insect Sea!"

The Insect God shrieked sharply, his six tentacles writhing grotesquely. The blood energy from the exploded bugs wrapped around Lin Fan, its corrosive power terrifying.

Lin Fan sneered, charged straight through the blood sea, and slashed at the Insect God.

"Impossible!" The Insect God was shocked, clearly incredulous. How could the other party ignore the insect blood energy?

"Die!" The void shattered. A vast force erupted from Lin Fan's body, a punch that shook the heavens, locking onto the Insect God completely, leaving him no chance.

"Insect Armor."

Countless bugs floated up from the armor and coalesced into a pitch-black shield, blocking Lin Fan's path.

"Insect God, I overestimated you. Is this all you've got?" Lin Fan sneered. The power source within him erupted, the spring gurgling and surging, power swelling. A destructive aura burst forth, and he struck the Insect Armor directly.

Boom!

A vast force erupted, ripples spreading outward from the Insect Armor.

The Insect God's expression changed drastically, as if in disbelief. He felt an irresistible force transmitting through.

Crack!

Cracks like a spiderweb appeared on the Insect Armor's surface. Crack! Crack! More cracks formed, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"Insect God, die!" Lin Fan roared, pouring in power, shattering the Insect Armor. A pillar of light pierced through, striking the Insect God.

The bugs covering the Insect God screeched sharply as a hole was torn open, revealing the Insect God's divine core.

Boom!

The Insect God's body staggered back, spitting a mouthful of blood. He looked up at Lin Fan, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

"Native, you..." The Insect God couldn't believe this scene. He couldn't believe a native could break his Insect Armor and wound him.

In his eyes, this was utterly impossible.

But now, the facts lay before him, forcing him to believe.

At this moment, the Insect God wanted to flee.

He had been careless. He had underestimated the strength of these natives.
