Chapter 790: Sealing

Inside the ruined hall of the Immortal Palace.

Qin Ming and Elder Tu’e shot out from the spatial rift at high speed.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The moment they emerged, four more of the nine insect eggs split open completely.

From within crawled four ancient moth insects nearly identical to the insect king from the Void Insect Nest.

However, the cultivation auras of these newly born moths were noticeably weaker than that of the insect king that had emerged earlier. All of them were only at the early sixth tier.

Not only that, these newly born ancient moth insects possessed extraordinary bloodlines and had not been affected by the great divine ability of the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord. They had not fallen into slumber.

The moment they saw the Origin Power that had appeared within the hall, madness filled their eyes. Ignoring everything else, they screeched and charged toward the altar.

Just then—

A silver-haired woman emerged from the void. It was the Silver-Winged Frostbee in human form.

With a single point of her finger, a silver thread flew from her hand, radiating a terrifying and indescribable aura. It instantly pierced through the head of one of the moth insects.

After a hundred years of cultivation within the Immortal Abode secret realm, and after previously devouring the egg essence of the World-Scourge Plague Moth, the Silver-Winged Frostbee had now reached the mid-sixth tier.

Furthermore, she possessed the bloodline power of the ancient moth empress. Even Qin Ming could not accurately judge her true strength.

After she instantly killed the sixth-tier moth insect, a strand of purple essence flowed from its corpse and traveled along the crystalline thread into her body.

In an instant, some ancient power within her grew stronger once more.

Her objective was also crystal clear.

She headed straight for the Origin Power of the Mother of Calamity Ashes.

At this moment, the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord was displaying overwhelming might inside the spatial rift, keeping the terrifying insect king occupied.

As for these moths that had only just hatched, they no longer posed any threat to her.

The pressure of obtaining the Origin Power was therefore greatly reduced.

Seeing this, Qin Ming stopped holding back as well.

The battle here would likely accelerate the awakening of the insect swarm.

To avoid unforeseen complications, they had to end things quickly.

Thus, he immediately activated the True Demon Force.

Numerous terrifying dharma-form phantoms appeared and overlapped behind him.

Boom!

As an overwhelming aura erupted—

An Eight-Armed Demonic Ape manifested.

The ape shook its hand, and a Wind-Thunder Profound Staff appeared within its grasp, radiating the fluctuations of a Void Refinement treasure.

The demonic ape bent its knees and leapt into the air, swinging the staff downward at the two leading moth insects.

Boom!

The attention of the two ancient moth insects had originally been completely fixed on the empress’s Origin Power.

Struck by Qin Ming’s terrifying blow, they were instantly smashed away and hurled violently against the walls of the hall.

Behind him, Elder Tu’e of the Flower Spirit Clan stared in shock at Qin Ming’s terrifying body-refining divine ability.

He was beginning to doubt reality itself.

First, inside the spatial rift, he had witnessed the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord produce a seventh-tier talisman and instantly raise his combat strength to a level comparable to a Soul Transformation mighty cultivator.

Now he was seeing Qin Ming transform into a terrifying demonic ape.

His body-refining cultivation was simply beyond anything Elder Tu’e had ever heard of.

Demonic qi surged from his entire body.

He looked even more like a demon cultivator than the actual demons outside.

His physical body was so powerful that he could clash head-on with ancient moth insects without falling behind.

Recovering from his shock, Elder Tu’e immediately drew his Green Emperor Sword and joined Qin Ming in dealing with the remaining moth insects.

After all, half the eggs had yet to hatch.

If all of them emerged, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thus—

While Qin Ming and Elder Tu’e occupied the three newly born moth insects, the Silver-Winged Frostbee had already arrived atop the altar.

She directly activated a bloodline divine ability and sent a mysterious twisted rune into the purple crystal containing the Origin Power.

The rune disappeared into it instantly.

At once, the Origin Power transformed into streams of light that flowed into the Silver-Winged Frostbee’s body.

Meanwhile—

Inside the spatial rift.

The insect king battling the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord suddenly froze.

It seemed to sense that the Origin Power was being absorbed and refined by another moth insect.

A deep terror immediately arose within it.

It had believed itself to be the first to hatch and, after several molts, had reached the peak of the sixth tier.

Who could have expected three outsiders to appear and completely ruin its plans?

Now that the Origin Power had emerged, it was being held back by the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord and could do nothing but panic.

“Hmph! Don’t even think about getting past me!” the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord snorted, noticing the insect king’s abnormal state.

“Looks like Fellow Daoist Yin really does have some tricks.”

His expression turned serious as he intensified his attacks.

Half an incense stick later—

The Silver-Winged Frostbee finally absorbed every last trace of the moth empress’s Origin Power.

Suddenly!

The newly born moth insects within the hall, as well as the unhatched eggs, all released incomparably miserable shrieks.

Strands of strange essence floated out from their bodies and, drawn by some invisible force, all merged into the Silver-Winged Frostbee.

Immediately afterward, the moth insects seemed to lose the most important thing within them.

All life left their bodies, and they collapsed to the ground.

The same scene occurred within the spatial rift.

The Profound Tortoise Divine Lord was in the middle of a fierce battle when the insect king suddenly seemed like a deflated balloon.

Terror filled its eyes.

Its body instantly withered.

A strand of life essence flew from its body and drifted toward the hall outside.

Its enormous body crashed heavily onto a floating island below.

The Profound Tortoise Divine Lord landed beside it and confirmed that the ferocious insect had completely lost all signs of life.

“How did it suddenly drop dead?”

Just moments ago it had been fierce and vigorous.

Now it had died for no apparent reason.

Clearly, it was closely related to what had happened within the Immortal Palace.

Without thinking further, he happily stored away the corpse.

“A sixth-tier peak ancient insect corpse like this can at least make up for part of the loss of using a seventh-tier descent talisman...”

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed that the floating island had shattered during the battle.

One massive fragment had fallen nearby.

Embedded within it was a fist-sized lump of amber-colored essence.

The Profound Tortoise Divine Lord’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Molting Heaven Spirit Marrow!”

He quickly collected it.

Muttering to himself, he said,

“In that case, this trip wasn’t much of a loss after all...”

Back in the hall.

After devouring the Origin Power, the Silver-Winged Frostbee’s aura began fluctuating violently.

It seemed that the remaining will of the moth empress within the Origin Power was fiercely resisting her.

At this stage, Qin Ming could not help.

Everything depended on her alone.

Meanwhile, the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord’ great divine ability finally reached its limit.

The enormous lotus spirit plant reverted to the graceful woman’s form.

The moment the illusion vanished, the countless insects throughout the ruined Immortal Palace awakened from their slumber.

The Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord descended into the hall.

Her face was pale.

Using that great divine ability had clearly consumed an enormous amount of energy, and her already dwindling lifespan had only worsened the situation.

She saw that Elder Tu’e had destroyed the insect talisman and that Qin Ming’s Silver-Winged Frostbee had won the struggle for the moth empress’s Origin Power.

At this point, she had truly done everything she could.

The Silver-Winged Frostbee seemed locked in a struggle against the moth empress’s remaining will.

She suddenly fell from the air and lost consciousness.

Clearly, devouring the Origin Power of one of the Ancient Three Calamities was no simple matter.

Opportunity and danger always went hand in hand.

Qin Ming immediately stored her inside a spirit beast pouch.

He planned to leave this place first.

At that moment—

A harsh, broken voice rang out.

“Ahhh! You wretches! How dare you commit such a rebellious act!”

The gray-robed old woman who had been presiding over the ritual had awakened.

After seeing the drastic changes within the hall, she became both shocked and enraged, glaring at Qin Ming and the others as she roared hysterically.

Her body suddenly transformed.

Her true form appeared—a gigantic golden-winged ferocious insect.

The Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord, who had just landed to recover, merely raised a hand.

A seven-colored radiance descended and instantly crushed the creature.

Its body exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

The insect swarm outside the hall immediately became restless.

“The objective has been achieved. We should not remain here. I will stay behind and cover your retreat. Elder Tu’e, leave with Fellow Daoist Yin and the others.”

After swallowing a recovery pill, some color returned to the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord’ face.

Now that the insect talisman within her body had been removed, she no longer had any reservations and could finally slaughter the insect race freely.

Qin Ming asked,

“Senior, is there any way to destroy the three spatial wormholes inside the rift?”

“If the insects on the other side launch a large-scale invasion of the Spirit Realm through the Immortal Abode secret realm, not only the demon territories but the human race will suffer as well.”

After seeing the horrifying scene within the insect world, Qin Ming could not help asking.

Such a major incident had occurred here.

Bloody retaliation was entirely possible.

The Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord also understood that if her Flower Spirit clansmen did not leave alongside Qin Ming and the others, they would have almost no chance of surviving against the demon and devil cultivators waiting outside the secret realm.

Thus she explained:

“These spatial wormholes were opened by the Dongxuan Desolation Insect, a creature possessing an extremely special bloodline divine ability. They cannot be destroyed in a short time. The only option is to seal them again and block the exit on the other side.”

She then taught Qin Ming and Elder Tu’e the method for sealing the wormholes.

Qin Ming immediately returned to normal form and entered the spatial rift together with Elder Tu’e.

As soon as they entered, they saw the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord riding his turtle mount and leisurely making his way out.

“Fellow Daoist Yin, why have you come back? That insect king has already been dealt with by Gu.”

His face was pale from excessive expenditure.

With the situation urgent, Qin Ming quickly explained the matter of sealing the wormholes.

After listening, the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord showed great approval.

“Then let’s hurry. I still have some strength left. I can help you one final time.”

Qin Ming could not help finding that somewhat strange.

Earlier, this fellow had insisted on additional conditions.

Apparently he had obtained quite a few benefits inside.

Even more curious was that after using the seventh-tier descent talisman, he merely seemed exhausted rather than seriously injured as he had claimed.

Qin Ming wondered which great being he had actually invited to descend.

Soon afterward—

The three of them arrived before the enormous wormholes.

Using various spiritual materials, they arranged the sealing formation according to the method they had been taught.

As rune after rune lit up and linked together through space, the three wormholes were completely blocked.

Only then did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“With that done, this matter is settled. Let’s prepare to withdraw.”

Qin Ming spoke to the other two before returning outside.

He walked to the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord.

Looking at the Soul Transformation powerhouse who had already lost the will to live and whose life force was nearly exhausted, he said:

“Senior, let us leave the Immortal Abode together.”

The Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord shook her head.

“I have little life left. Even if I leave, I will soon become nothing more than a mound of earth.”

“I might as well remain here and cover your retreat, making use of the last bit of my strength.”

“I only hope that after leaving, little friend Yin can look after my people when possible.”

“I would be deeply grateful.”

But just as she finished speaking, her body staggered.

She immediately fell unconscious.

Although she had casually killed the gray-robed old woman moments earlier, that attack had consumed even more of her origin and pushed her beyond her limits.

“Saint Lord!”

Elder Tu’e was horrified and hurried forward to support her.

She showed no response whatsoever.

At the same time—

Rumble!

The insect swarm outside the Immortal Palace suddenly became wildly agitated.

Terrifying sounds of battle erupted.

After Qin Ming and the others sealed the three wormholes, the pollution from the insect filth greatly diminished.

Their divine senses recovered and could once again observe the situation outside.

When they looked—

They discovered that cultivators of the demon and devil races, led by Ao Qing and Mogulu, were charging toward the Immortal Palace.

On the way, they encountered the awakened insect swarm.

In an instant, they were swallowed by the endless tide of insects...
