Chapter 868: Return to the Place of Origin

The Insect Ancestor, cut in two, had not yet died. Its two massive segments writhed continuously in the void.

“Damnable humans, damn it all…”

The Insect Ancestor had never imagined that a human could sever it with a single finger. An infinite terror surged within its heart.

“Human, watch how these ants—these humans—are conquered by the insect race.”

Seeing the familiar buildings in the image, Lin Fan’s heart trembled. He had always believed he lived in a parallel dimension, but he never expected that Earth was merely one among countless worlds.

When the insect race descended, the peaceful order collapsed completely. The armies disintegrated under the insect race’s overwhelming power; even nuclear bombs only tickled them.

Countless cities fell, countless humans were devoured by the insects.

“Damnable vermin.” At this moment, Lin Fan didn’t know whether he felt excitement or rage.

Bang!

Lin Fan stomped down, crushing the Insect Ancestor’s head. Suddenly, a hexagonal, multicolored insect crystal floated in the void.

This crystal contained all the power of the Insect Ancestor.

It was like the Heavenly Divine Pill of the myriad races.

“Human, how dare you do this to me! You will die a miserable death!” The crystal emitted the furious roar of the Insect Ancestor.

“Tell me, what happened to that azure planet in the end?” Lin Fan grabbed the seven-colored crystal and demanded harshly.

“Haha… haha.”

The Insect Ancestor laughed wildly, its tone dark and sinister. “What happened? Naturally, it was completely devoured by the great insect race.”

Crack!

Lin Fan squeezed, and countless cracks instantly appeared on the Insect Ancestor’s crystal, as if it might shatter at any moment.

“No, stop, stop! I am the ancestor of the insect race—you cannot do this!” The Insect Ancestor roared, now terrified out of its wits.

It hadn’t expected this human to possess such strength. Its insect crystal was the hardest substance in the universe, yet this human could crush it with a light squeeze, as if it could be shattered at any moment. This utterly panicked the Insect Ancestor.

“Hmph, seeking death. I originally wanted to play with you a bit, but you’ve thoroughly angered this Emperor. So die.” Lin Fan’s voice was harsh.

“Speak. How do I get there?” Lin Fan demanded.

“Release me, and I will tell you.” The Insect Ancestor was not unintelligent; it could sense a ripple in this human’s heart.

That ripple was Lin Fan’s concern for the azure planet.

“You have no right to bargain with this Emperor.” Lin Fan’s voice was cold. He squeezed harder, and the crystal cracked even more.

“You can’t do this, or you’ll never know how to get there!” The Insect Ancestor felt the killing intent radiating from this human and was filled with terror.

It felt that this human might kill it at any moment.

“Great Buddha’s Light of Conversion.”

Lin Fan roared. Buddha light enveloped the area. Thousands of converting Buddhas chanted scriptures around the Insect Ancestor’s crystal, and a power of conversion seeped in through the cracks.

Convert!

Convert!

The Great Buddha’s Light of Conversion was a long-lost, heaven-defying divine ability of the Buddha race. Now that Lin Fan’s strength was even greater, converting a mere Insect Ancestor was naturally a trivial matter.

“Human, you want to convert me? Insect Mother, save me… Insect Mother, save me…”

The Insect Ancestor sent out one divine thought after another.

But each thought was intercepted by Lin Fan. “Trying to send a divine thought for help from this Emperor’s hands? A pipe dream.”

“Ding, congratulations on successful conversion.”

“Speak. How do I get there?” Lin Fan asked.

“Master, this is a Space Divine Insect. It can take you there.” At that moment, an extremely slender Space Divine Insect, like an earthworm, flew out from the crystal.

A vast, surging power of space enveloped the entire world.

Lin Fan looked at the Space Divine Insect, his brow furrowed. The Space Divine Insect was a special type of insect among the insect race. Though they lacked great power,

their innate divine ability was extremely formidable—they could break through the barriers of any dimension.

“Master.” The converted Insect Ancestor looked at Lin Fan with a fawning expression, hoping for praise.

Crack!

Lin Fan sneered. The insect crystal shattered instantly, and from the broken fragments, vast spiritual energy burst forth.

Lin Fan opened his mouth wide and directly swallowed all that spiritual energy.

“Ding, killed the Insect Ancestor.”

“Ding, congratulations, experience increased…”

“Ding, congratulations, obtained the Myriad Realms Map.”

At that moment, the Ancient Saint Altar suddenly trembled. The Space Divine Insect floating in the void seemed drawn by some force, drifting continuously toward the altar.

“Ding, discovered Space Divine Insect and Myriad Realms Map. They can be fused with the Ancient Saint Altar.”

Lin Fan hadn’t expected such a change. He stretched out his hand, grabbing the Space Divine Insect like a chick.

The Space Divine Insect sensed danger and tried to escape into the void of spacetime, but in Lin Fan’s hands, escape was impossible.

“Come here.”

Without any hesitation, the Space Divine Insect instantly fused with the Ancient Saint Altar, and the Myriad Realms Map also merged into the altar.

In an instant, brilliant light blazed, and the Ancient Saint Altar underwent a tremendous transformation.

Within the Inner World, the function of the Ancient Saint Altar changed dramatically. It could now locate any realm among the myriad worlds and, by burning Saint Sun Pills, directly cross barriers to reach any realm.

“Squeak, squeak…”

The death of the Insect Ancestor had a massive impact on the insect race at that moment.

Leaderless, the insects became confused. Taking advantage of this, Chick frenziedly bit and tore, instantly killing countless insects.

“So strong…”

The disciples of the Lingtian Sect stared at the scene, utterly dumbfounded. In their eyes, this Human Emperor was incredibly powerful—the fearsome Insect Ancestor had been killed so easily.

And that strange beast was also brutally ferocious. Compared to it, the insects were vastly inferior.

“Cock-a-doodle-doo!”

At this moment, Chick felt it could eat no more—too full, far too full.

But to Chick, these insects were delicious. After eating them, its own strength seemed to surge dramatically.

Now, Lin Fan immersed his entire mind in the Ancient Saint Altar, searching for Earth’s coordinates.

“Great Emperor…”

Ling Tianzi approached cautiously, wanting to express his gratitude, for this person had saved their sect.

If not for this Emperor, the Lingtian Sect would have been utterly destroyed.

But Lin Fan had no time for such things. He stood silently, not speaking.

Seeing that the Emperor said nothing, Ling Tianzi asked no more and stood there motionless, assuming the Emperor was deep in thought.

Suddenly, Lin Fan found the final target.

“Chick, let’s go.”

“Cock-a-doodle-doo!” Chick swallowed the last insect and dashed over.

Lin Fan waved his hand. Without any delay, he traveled through the Ancient Saint Altar toward Earth.
