Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 468 - 233: Seizing the First Merit, Spirit Crystal Marrow, an Unexpected Harvest
A matter of life and death.
Master Xu spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Nine Python Jade Bracelet. The nine giant pythons conjured by the bracelet gathered together, their forms trembling slightly and astonishingly transformed into a Flood Dragon.
The Flood Dragon let out a furious roar.
A burst of Dragon Breath spewed downward.
Engulfing nearly a hundred Tier Two Insect Generals.
Simultaneously.
Master Xu unleashed one Technique after another onto the Spiritual Insect Tide Array. The Array Map buzzed, illuminating with a layer of white mist that enshrouded the entire battlefield.
The compound eyes of the Tier Two Insect Generals, originally on the verge of frenzy, reverted from red to normal.
Evidently.
The white mist severed the Insect Mother’s control connection over the Tier Two Insect Generals.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However.
From underground.
There were still an endless stream of Insect Generals charging up, colliding with the array formed by the nine pythons, which began to crackle and form dense cracks.
Master Xu’s face was also pale at this moment.
Fu Changsheng glanced at the western battlefield.
And saw the overwhelming Tai Chi Locusts had completely surrounded the west, leaving no gaps. It was only a matter of time before the array broke.
Meanwhile underground.
The battle between Cao Xiang’er and the Insect Mother showed no signs of stopping anytime soon.
At this point, Lin Clan Leader already had thoughts of fleeing.
Staying here longer.
Would likely mean meeting their end today.
But the Lin Family couldn’t be without him, and if all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan were wiped out, the Ninth-Grade Noble Family title would be reclaimed.
Lin Clan Leader’s eyes flickered.
Yet hesitated due to Cao Xiang’er’s Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion prestige.
Fu Changsheng observed everything, deciding to take a risky attempt.
Once the Insect Tide broke through.
None of them would survive today.
Thus he quickly slapped an Earth Escape Talisman onto his body, while opening his mouth and swallowing the Desolate Beast Pill refined by Liuu Meizhen.
After refining the Desolate Beast Pill.
A thin layer of light curtain formed on his body surface.
As he descended underground.
He encountered several waves of Tier Two Insect Generals, but they seemed oblivious to him:
"This Desolate Beast Pill is truly marvelous!"
Fu Changsheng increased his speed.
.....
Underground.
Inside the Tai Chi Locust Tide’s underground lair.
Nesting all around the wormhole, innumerable eggs.
The eggs emitted a pale green glow, continually hatching Tier Two Insect Generals, which rushed to the surface.
Cao Xiang’er donned a light purple Spirit Robe, with her Purple Mansion cultivation Spiritual Power faintly circulating on her body surface, resembling a thin veil.
The Tier Three Insect Mother’s body was enormous, towering several tens of feet high, covered with a layer of hard shell that glowed a dark green, emitting a nauseating aura.
The Insect Mother’s compound eyes flashed fiercely.
Its massive mouthpart opened, spraying a stream of dark green mucus, which shot at Cao Xiang’er like sharp arrows.
Cao Xiang’er’s eyes narrowed, her foot tapped lightly as her figure swiftly retreated like lightning.
She formed hand seals quickly, murmuring incantations, a light blue Spiritual Power Shield formed in front of her.
The mucus hit the shield, emitting a "sizzling" corrosive sound.
During her retreat, Cao Xiang’er pushed forward with both hands, sending an Ice Cone formed of Spiritual Power shooting at the Insect Mother.
The Ice Cone expanded as it flew, quickly transforming into giant ice pillars.
The Insect Mother screeched sharply, summoning a black whirlwind around its body. The whirlwind rushed towards the ice pillars, clashing with them with a deafening roar. The ice pillars shattered into countless icy shards, scattering everywhere, while the whirlwind also dissipated significantly.
"Ssss"
The Insect Mother hadn’t expected Cao Xiang’er to be so formidable.
The fierceness in its eyes intensified.
Its antennae crackled with electricity, sending a massive bolt of lightning towards Cao Xiang’er.
Cao Xiang’er’s brow furrowed.
Suddenly, golden runes appeared around her body. The runes glowed, drawing the lightning in and dispersing it along their pathways, vanishing into the surrounding space.
In the midst of combat.
Cao Xiang’er glanced at the continuously hatching Tier Two Insect Generals rushing to the surface, deducing that the Insect Mother intended to let the Tai Chi Locusts outside the Spiritual Insect Tide Array in.
If besieged by the Insect Tide.
Combined with Tier Three Insect Mother’s command.
Even with her Purple Mansion cultivation, escape would be difficult:
"Must end this quickly!"
Cao Xiang’er’s figure flashed, instantly appearing above the Insect Mother’s head.
In her hand appeared a sword emitting purple light, thrusting toward the Insect Mother’s head.
With a "ding" sound.
The Insect Mother sensing the threat above its head, suddenly manifested a pair of giant scythe-like claws aiming at the sword.
Cao Xiang’er changed her Technique.
The sword evaded the claws, tracing an elegant arc in the air, slashing at the Insect Mother’s compound eyes. The Insect Mother’s eyes snapped shut, and the sword clashed against its eyelid, sparking, yet the eyelid shrouded in golden light was unyielding.
Cao Xiang’er narrowed her eyes slightly.
Realizing that a quick resolution was difficult this way.
She swiftly changed her hand seals, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi began to madly gather. The air around her seemed to be sucked away by her Spiritual Qi, forming a massive Spiritual Power vortex.
Within the vortex, a gigantic Spiritual Power rune appeared, glowing with a seven-colored light.
Cao Xiang’er shouted:
"Demon-Breaking Spirit Seal!"
Pushing her hands forcefully towards the Insect Mother.
As the talisman passed, the space slightly distorted.
"Ssss"
Feeling immense threat, the Insect Mother’s body started to tremble violently.
Eggs hanging around the wormhole rapidly shriveled, releasing streams of strange energy into its body, making the Insect Mother grow even larger, its carapace glowing brighter, and its aura soaring instantly to Tier Three Late Stage.
