Chapter 1216: The Prepared Forbidden Insect Race!

TL: Etude

The Forbidden Insect Nest, and the Forbidden Insect Tree.

Originally, the Forbidden Insect Tree bore three lord-level forbidden insect cocoons, but at this moment, two still remained.

Moreover, two lord-level forbidden insects guarded this place, while outside, there were eight more lord-level forbidden insects. If the two remaining cocoons hatched, the Forbidden Insect Race would then possess twelve lord-level forbidden insects.

Suddenly.

One of the lord-level forbidden insect cocoons began to crack. A golden leg extended from within, followed by the emergence of a grotesque and menacing lord-level forbidden insect. Its terrifying aura spread in all directions, shaking the surrounding void.

This signified the birth of another lord-level forbidden insect.

Soon after, the second lord-level forbidden insect cocoon also began to shatter, and a second lord-level forbidden insect appeared.

Freshly hatched lord-level forbidden insects were at their weakest, but with waves of forbidden insects bringing various energy resources to them, the two newly hatched insects devoured everything. Their shells grew increasingly robust, and their auras became steadily stronger and more stable.

In the end, they fully matured.

Although they were slightly weaker compared to other lord-level forbidden insects, they were by no means inferior to an ordinary Half-Step Domain Ancestor.

Shortly afterward, the Forbidden Insect Tree’s aura waned slightly, yet the lord-level forbidden insects remained calm and unflustered.

Soon, a multitude of cocoons began to crack open, releasing an overwhelming swarm of forbidden insects from within.

In a short period, nearly five million forbidden insects were born.

Originally, the Forbidden Insect Race’s numbers were around 1.2 million, and with this sudden addition of five million, the total surged to 6.2 million.

Suddenly.

Three lord-level forbidden insects inside the Forbidden Insect Nest led a vast swarm of forbidden insects out of the nest, leaving behind one lord-level forbidden insect and a contingent to guard the Forbidden Insect Nest and the Forbidden Insect Tree.

Outside the Forbidden Insect Nest.

More lord-level forbidden insects returned, and a vast number of forbidden insects gathered here.

This entire area was almost entirely blanketed by the Forbidden Insect Race, their numbers approaching two million.

Among them were one lord-level forbidden insect, 1.2 million ordinary forbidden insects, elite forbidden insects, and over fifty commander-level forbidden insects.

Such a large gathering of forbidden insects was not for a meeting—it was to launch an all-out assault.

With a roar from the lord-level forbidden insect, the forbidden insect army mobilized, flying toward a base in the Dao Mountain Domain.

They were about to attack a base! Historically, the forbidden insects had employed slow attrition tactics to assault various bases within the Dao Mountain Domain, but this time, their strategy had shifted.

Without a doubt, this change was due to the emergence of the two newly hatched lord-level forbidden insects.

The ongoing skirmishes between the forbidden insects and the bases in the Dao Mountain Domain had led the forbidden insects to believe that the bases collectively had only eight Half-Step Domain Ancestors. If more existed, they would have taken action long ago. Even with their intelligence, the forbidden insects couldn’t fathom the Dao Mountain Domain hiding such reinforcements.

Thus, they believed that their lord-level forbidden insects, along with their 1.2 million-strong forbidden insect army, would be sufficient to annihilate the bases of the Dao Mountain Domain, allowing them to penetrate the domain completely.

…

The Limitless Sky Base.

This base, established by the Limitless Sky Sect, was among the most significant bases in the Dao Mountain Domain. It was guarded by Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, along with several Invincible Dao Ancestors and numerous Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, making it an immensely formidable stronghold.

At this moment.

Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity was surveying the surrounding territories of the Limitless Sky Base.

Suddenly, he received a message from the Dao Ancestors who were hunting forbidden insects within the Dark Forbidden Domain.

“What? The Forbidden Insect Race is mobilizing on a massive scale and seems to be heading toward the Limitless Sky Base!”

Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity’s expression shifted dramatically.

This was no trivial matter. If they truly attacked the Limitless Sky Base, its current strength would be utterly incapable of holding them off.

“Request reinforcements!”

Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity sent messages to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Blackwind Mountain, Myriad Domains Divine Hall, Heavenly Sea Sect, and other bases, urging them to send reinforcements to the Limitless Sky Base in preparation for the imminent battle against the Forbidden Insect Race.

The forces from the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Blackwind Mountain, and others could not simply sit idly by as the Limitless Sky Base fell. After all, it was one of the key defensive lines. If it were breached, this entire direction would lose its protective barrier, and the Forbidden Insect Race might directly invade the Dao Mountain Domain.

Furthermore, without the strength of the Limitless Sky Base, the other bases would lose a significant ally, which would be disastrous.

Thus.

One after another, the Dao Ancestors from various bases rushed toward the Limitless Sky Base. Many bases dispatched the majority of their forces.

…

Blackwind Mountain Base.

Ye Tian received the news and led a large contingent of Dao Ancestors toward the Limitless Sky Base.

This time, both his main body and his Copy Body, the Dark King, were mobilized. His wife, Xiao Yue, was currently cultivating in the Profound Void Archaic Realm and was not at the Blackwind Mountain Base, so she did not join the reinforcements. However, his son and daughter, who were at the base, accompanied Ye Tian to support the battle.

The Forbidden Insect Race’s army was too numerous, and before the Dao Ancestors from all the bases could gather, no one dared to engage them alone. They had no choice but to converge at the Limitless Sky Base before clashing with the Forbidden Army.

Several bases close to the Limitless Sky Base were the first to arrive with reinforcements. Other Half-Step Domain Ancestors rushed ahead of their forces; otherwise, if the lord-level forbidden insects took action, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity might not be able to hold them off and could be killed in a short time.

“Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, have you gathered information on this forbidden insect army’s situation?” Palace Master Azure Dragon asked as he arrived.

“The forbidden insect army numbers approximately 1.2 million. As for the lord-level forbidden insects, we’ve detected nine so far, but it’s uncertain if there are only nine,” Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity replied.

“Nine lord-level forbidden insects, huh? If it’s only nine, the pressure won’t be too overwhelming. But if there’s even one more, this battle will become exceedingly difficult,” Palace Master Zhenwu said with a furrowed brow.

“No matter what, we must hold the line!” said Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity.

As time passed, the forbidden insect army arrived.

From a distance, the forbidden insect army surged like a massive black tide, rushing forward with a terrifying speed. It seemed as though a single wave of this tide could engulf the entire Limitless Sky Base.

Outside the Limitless Sky Base, eight Half-Step Domain Ancestors and a large number of Dao Ancestors had gathered.

Imposing formations were now fully set up, awaiting the arrival of the forbidden insect army.

Ye Tian, along with his son Ye Xingchen and daughter Ye Xingyue, stood at one vantage point, their gazes fixed on the horizon.

“This battle will be hard to win,” Ye Tian thought to himself.

The Forbidden Insect Race had come prepared and must be confident in their chances. If the combined forces of the bases consisted only of what was present now, the defenses would likely collapse quickly.

However,

Both the Heavenly Emperor Palace and Blackwind Mountain had hidden reserves of power.

Whether these hidden forces would reveal themselves in this battle depended on how the conflict unfolded!
