Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

A great slaughter!

A cold glint flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes as his killing intent intensified.

’Zifeng Jie, Bing Long, and the others have tried to kill me time and time again. How can I possibly allow them to remain in this world?’

SWISH!

With a flick of his finger, a sharp beam of light shot out.

It shattered the short sword in midair, which then exploded with a BOOM.

"No..."

"Jiang Chen, you deserve to die...!"

The terrifying energy released by the explosion of a magnificent Celestial-tier Profound Weapon was no less violent than the self-destruction of a Union Palace Realm master.

The explosion of the Profound Weapon kicked up a violent gale that swept across the plank walkways of the Ice Wing Demon Cave.

The masters who had previously forced Jiang Chen to sacrifice himself to save them bore the brunt of the impact, sent tumbling and staggering by the gale.

The dense swarm of Ice-Winged Demon Insects hovering above them instantly reacted, their wings creating a deafening BUZZ as they charged toward them.

The commotion was so great that it triggered a chain reaction throughout the entire Ice Wing Demon Cave.

Countless Ice-Winged Demon Insects flew out from the cave’s depths, forming a dense black swarm that descended upon the crowd.

"No..."

One expert’s face paled in horror as a cluster of Ice-Winged Demon Insects swarmed onto his face. In an instant, not a shred of flesh remained, leaving only stark white bone. His two eyeballs had just fallen from their sockets when they were snatched away by other insects.

One after another, the experts roared and screamed in utter misery.

"Save me, Jiang Chen, save me..."

"I don’t want to die!"

They remembered how the Black Emperor had used a Secret Technique to pull Zhao Hongluan and the others into a Mysterious Space, and one by one, they turned to Jiang Chen with gazes full of hope and pleas for help.

Facing their pleading gazes, Jiang Chen’s expression was indifferent, without a single trace of pity.

’Just a moment ago, these were the very same people who forced me out to die!’

"Jiang Chen, you’ve shown no mercy, so don’t blame me for being ruthless! Let’s die together!" an expert at the Union Palace Realm Eighth Stage, ranked in the forties on the Human Venerable List, roared as he lunged at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen waved his hand dismissively.

SWOOSH!

An unrivaled Sword Aura tore through the air, carving out an empty space as if slicing a continent from the Vast Sea.

BOOM...

The entire Ice Wing Demon Cave trembled violently.

The expert who had tried to take Jiang Chen down with him was sliced in two by a single sword strike. Blood sprayed everywhere, instantly attracting the bloodthirsty Ice-Winged Demon Insects.

A swarm of Ice-Winged Demon Insects instantly enveloped the expert, devouring him until not even a scrap was left.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ!

A group of Ice-Winged Demon Insects fixed their cold gazes on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen sneered and swung his sword three times in quick succession. "Divine Wind Celestial Fury!"

All three strikes were Divine Wind Celestial Fury!

This Wind Attribute Celestial Tier Sword Technique was the perfect Martial Skill for fighting against overwhelming numbers!

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH...

As wild winds howled, countless blasts of energy erupted, crisscrossing through the air. These three strikes alone killed over one hundred thousand Ice-Winged Demon Insects!

However, for the entire Ice Wing Demon Cave, a hundred thousand Ice-Winged Demon Insects was merely a drop in the bucket!

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

More and more Ice-Winged Demon Insects appeared.

Below...

Watching the dense swarm of Ice-Winged Demon Insects converge on Jiang Chen, triumphant expressions appeared on the faces of Bing Long, Zifeng Jie, and the others. "Hahaha, I told you! Anyone we want dead has no chance of getting out alive. Jiang Chen, oh, Jiang Chen, you dared to make an enemy of my Royal Family? I’ll make sure you die without a proper burial!"

Bing Xu sighed. "It’s a shame we can’t take his head back as an offering to our fallen brothers!"

"No matter!"

Zifeng Jie chuckled. "We’ll just see if we can find a piece of his flesh to bring back instead!"

"A piece of his flesh?"

The crowd froze for a moment.

Then, delighted and sinister smiles spread across their faces.

The magnificent chosen one who had defeated the tenth-ranked expert on the Human Venerable List would fall in the Ice Wing Demon Cave, leaving behind nothing but a scrap of flesh.

How fucking great was that!

"Hahaha..."

Bing Long and the others roared with laughter, their minds already picturing the scene of Jiang Chen being devoured by the Ice-Winged Demon Insects.

... ...

Back on the paths of the Ice Wing Demon Cave.

Jiang Chen watched as more and more Ice-Winged Demon Insects gathered before him. There were easily over a hundred million of them, a dense, dark mass that formed a pitch-black ball.

His Eyes of the Heavens emanated a cold, blue-gold light.

Jiang Chen saw an entirely golden Ice-Winged Demon Insect at the center of the swarm. It seemed to be the king of all the others. ’This must be the Insect King. If I anger it, it should chase me down no matter what, right?’

Jiang Chen had already tested this before.

As long as he left the vicinity of the Ice Wing Demon Cave, the Ice-Winged Demon Insects would immediately return to its depths.

And that was why he had been waiting here all along.

Having finally waited for the Insect King’s arrival, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes. He brandished his Spirit-Slaying Sword and struck. "Creation of Heaven and Earth!"

SWISH!

A massive Sword Aura shot toward the heavens, looking as if it would rip the very world asunder.

BOOM—

Swarms of Ice-Winged Demon Insects were cut down, and the Insect King at their center let out a piercing shriek. Another group of insects immediately flew in to continue blocking the path.

Jiang Chen grinned. "You can’t hide!"

Divine Thought Shock!

SWISH!

A wave of Divine Thought rushed toward the golden Insect King!

"SCREEE..."

Struck by the Divine Thought Shock, the Insect King let out a sharp cry. The golden light around its body flickered erratically, and all the Ice-Winged Demon Insects in the area went berserk, swarming toward their king.

RUMBLE!

In an instant, the number of Ice-Winged Demon Insects gathered before Jiang Chen exceeded one billion!

A dense, dark, overwhelming mass!

"ROOOAR!"

The Insect King let out an enraged roar, its blood-red eyes locked onto Jiang Chen.

SWISH SWISH SWISH...

The army of Ice-Winged Demon Insects formed into black torrents and charged at Jiang Chen. But the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth curled up as he turned and activated the Golden-winged Roc Body Technique.

SWOOSH!

A pair of cyan wings suddenly unfurled behind him.

These were the Wind Wings!

Once summoned, they could use the power of the Secrets of Wind to take flight, reaching a speed that was in no way inferior to a Human King Realm expert.

Jiang Chen left the plank walkways at his top speed, soaring toward the ground below.

Behind him, the dense, dark swarm of Ice-Winged Demon Insects followed close behind.

"Oh no, Jiang Chen seems to be heading for us!" Bing Xu’s expression changed slightly.

Bing Long and Zifeng Jie burst out laughing, completely unafraid. "What’s there to be afraid of? Haven’t we already tested it? As long as we’re not near the Ice Wing Demon Cave, these Ice-Winged Demon Insects won’t attack us at all. Besides, even if he lures them out, they’ll turn back once they’re a kilometer away from the cave. What’s there to fear?"

"The one who should be afraid is Jiang Chen. With so many of us waiting for him, there’s no way he’s coming out of this alive!"

A grim, murderous intent appeared on their faces.

However...

As the Ice-Winged Demon Insects followed Jiang Chen closer and closer, they clearly passed the boundary of the Ice Wing Demon Cave’s range, yet the swarm’s speed didn’t decrease in the slightest.

RUMBLE...

They watched, wide-eyed, as the dense swarm of insects charged right at them.

At that moment.

Whether it was Bing Long, Zifeng Jie, or even Bing Xu and Luoyu Chuan, all of them stared with wide eyes, completely and utterly dumbfounded...

"H-How is this possible?"
