Chapter 2549: Battling the Insect Emperor

Time was extremely tight . After explaining the matters that Jian Chen should watch out for, Cheng Ming grabbed him by the shoulder . Jian Chen could not feel any particular difference from how Cheng Ming’s soul felt compared to a physical body . He was directly lifted up by Cheng Ming .

Of course, Cheng Ming only managed to do that since Jian Chen did not resist .

Cheng Ming held Jian Chen by the shoulder and arrived at the centre of the Heaven-linking Bridge with a flash . His finger swept across the sky gently .

Immediately, a crack silently appeared within the rainbow light from the bridge . Cheng Ming stared at the empty space within the crack before taking out another jade bottle . He poured out a droplet of milky-white fluid .

As soon as the droplet of fluid appeared, a heavy scent of blood permeated the surroundings .

This white liquid was actually the blood of Spatial Insects .

Moreover, from the residual energy within the blood, it was evident that it came from a Spatial Insect that had reached the Primordial realm .

The presence of the blood wafted out through the crack in the Heaven-linking Bridge, spreading outside .

At the next moment, the space outside the formation suddenly pulsed . It felt like it had become a body of water, where the slightest breeze would make it ripple .

Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed as he stared straight outside . Right after, he saw a white, insect-like figure appear and disappear with a flash .

The figure was not large, only around a metre in length . It was illusionary, as if it had fused with space . Only a rough outline could be seen, obscuring its complete appearance .

“The Spatial Insect Emperor!” Jian Chen shivered inside . He was completely certain that the figure he just saw was the Spatial Insect Emperor .

The insect emperor was a terrifying creature on par with Grand Primes . Even though it no longer possessed a body, it was still terrifying .

In the next moment, the grand elder flicked away the droplet of blood .

The white blood possessed the presence of Spatial Insects . It shot through the crack in the Heaven-linking Bridge like an arrow, flying outside .

However, at the same time, the space outside the Heaven-linking Bridge suddenly seized up . At that moment, the space there froze and everything fell silent . It was as if time had stopped .

The droplet of blood that flew out had been locked up outside the light around the Heaven-linking Bridge .

Afterwards, a white, insect-shaped figure that had seemingly fused with space swam around the droplet of blood like a fish . Its figure faded and consolidated from time to time, making it very difficult to clearly see .

The grand elder retreated in a hurry, entering the forbidden grounds once again .

At this moment, the droplet of blood suddenly vanished . The Spatial Insect Emperor did not seem to devour the droplet of blood . It had just vanished without a trace all of a sudden .

In the next moment, the soul of the Spatial Beast Emperor flew through the light around the Heaven-linking Bridge along the blood’s trajectory, appearing on it .

Its figure was still illusionary, having completely fused with space . As a result, it was difficult to see its true appearance . As a matter of fact, it was impossible to tell its head from its tail .

A chill ran down Jian Chen’s spine . He was under the impression that the beast soul seemed to have locked onto him .

Even though he could not see the eyes of the Spatial Insect Emperor, that was simply what he felt .

Jian Chen remained calm, carefully concealing his presence . He knew that he was covered in a layer of powder from the corpse of a Spatial Insect, which was why he possessed a Spatial Insect’s presence . As a result, the Spatial Insect Emperor had mistaken him for one of its clansmen and would not attack him .

However, if he let his presence as a human cultivator leak out, he could be mercilessly slain by the Spatial Beast Emperor .

As a space beast, the Spatial Insect Emperor had never possessed any great intelligence . Coupled with its current state, its intelligence was further compromised, so it basically acted out of instincts now . It was unable to correctly identify what Jian Chen actually was .

Suddenly, the soul of the Spatial Beast Emperor turned into a blur and charged towards Jian Chen .

It moved just too quickly, surpassing the restrictions of space . It appeared before Jian Chen in an instant and wormed into Jian Chen’s head with pressure that weighed down on the soul .

Only when Jian Chen felt a splitting pain from his head did he realised that the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor had already entered him .

He became extremely stern . His head would be a battlefield soon, and he would engage in a battle of life or death with the Spatial Insect Emperor . The slightest carelessness would take his life .

Without any hesitation, he immediately crushed the Soul-numbing Pill in his mouth .

The Soul-numbing Pill shattered, and a medicinal effect that could numb the soul expanded, directly entering Jian Chen’s soul .

By now, Jian Chen had already closed his eyes . The muscles on his face twitched unnaturally as he gradually paled .

It would take some time for the effects of the Soul-numbing Pill to completely kicked in . However, his soul was already under the vicious attacks of the Spatial Insect Emperor, so he had to endure intense agony .

The soul of the Spatial Beast Emperor appeared in Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness as a white bug . Following its natural instincts, it tried to devour Jian Chen’s soul .

Its appearance was nothing special . It only seemed like a silkworm that had been enlarged countless times, plump and around a metre long .

Jian Chen did not just sit and wait . He also appeared in his sea of consciousness, using the Laws of the Sword and the power of his soul to engage in a battle against the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor .

However, the disparity strength was simply too great . Even when Jian Chen used his full strength, he was unable to harm the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor at all .

After all, it had reached the level of Grand Primes . Compared to Jian Chen, it was like the heavens, while he was the earth .

The soul opened its mouth . In a single gulp, it directly sucked up a portion of Jian Chen’s soul .

However, after that, the Spatial Insect Emperor began to squirm unnaturally . Its body constantly expanded and shrunk as if it was in great pain .

This lasted for a few seconds before the Spatial Insect Emperor suddenly opened its mouth and spat out the portion of Jian Chen’s soul .

It seemed like it was unable to digest that portion of Jian Chen’s soul .
