Chapter 1217: Slaying the Commander-level Forbidden Insect!

TL: Etude

Boom! The Forbidden Insect Race army had arrived! The Dao Ancestors made their move, confronting the 1.2 million-strong Forbidden Insect Race army, and a fierce battle ensued.

Meanwhile, eight Half-Step Domain Ancestors engaged in combat with nine lord-level forbidden insects. Among them, Palace Master Azure Dragon single-handedly fought against the two strongest lord-level forbidden insects, successfully holding back all nine.

Ye Tian’s true form maintained the strength of a top-tier Pinnacle Dao Ancestor. He refrained from using Forbidden Dao Techniques, keeping various methods in reserve, ensuring his approach did not mirror that of the Dark King.

On the other hand, the Dark King had no such concerns. With his full power unleashed, he annihilated elite-level forbidden insects with a single strike.

“Die!”

Ye Tian, wielding the Heaven-Slaying Spear, slaughtered one forbidden insect after another. His invincible figure dominated this part of the battlefield.

Elite-level forbidden insects were no match for Ye Tian, let alone ordinary ones. A single sweep from him eradicated swathes of forbidden insects, leaving none alive.

The intelligent forbidden insects quickly realized that no amount of elite-level or ordinary forbidden insects could stop Ye Tian. Thus, they dispatched a commander-level forbidden insect to eliminate him at all costs.

…

“A commander-level forbidden insect!”

Ye Tian fixed his gaze on the commander-level forbidden insect charging toward him. Tightening his grip on the Heaven-Slaying Spear, he engaged in battle with it.

Boom!!!

On the first clash, Ye Tian was sent flying backward.

This commander-level forbidden insect was no weakling. Even Ye Tian’s strongest attacks could not subdue it, and his offensive strength was inferior to its own.

Before long, Ye Tian was injured, while the commander-level forbidden insect remained largely unharmed.

However, Ye Tian had the ability to recover his injuries using the Forbidden Origin Power, so it wasn’t a significant issue.

But if the fight dragged on like this, it would waste precious time. Failing to kill the opponent meant his combat potential was squandered, and he would be unable to kill more forbidden insects.

“I have to take it down!” Ye Tian made up his mind.

However, slaying a commander-level forbidden insect was no simple task—it was exceptionally difficult.

Suddenly, the Heaven-Slaying Spear in Ye Tian’s hand vanished. In the next instant, it reappeared at a weak spot on the abdomen of the commander-level forbidden insect, piercing through its body in one strike.

At that moment, the commander-level forbidden insect was utterly confused. It couldn’t comprehend how Ye Tian had managed to attack its abdomen without it sensing anything.

“Indeed, it can’t perceive my attack trajectory!” Ye Tian smiled.

This was his second self-created Forbidden Dao Technique. He had only recently developed it, and it was still somewhat incomplete. Forcing its use caused some harm to his body, but the damage was minor and could be fully repaired using the Forbidden Origin Power.

Initially, Ye Tian hadn’t intended to use this unfinished Dao Technique. However, since he couldn’t otherwise deal with the commander-level forbidden insect, he had no choice but to deploy it.

He had named this Forbidden Dao Technique Shadow Thorn. It enabled silent, imperceptible attacks and had offensive power second only to the Dark Limit Dao Spear.

Unlike the Dark Limit Dao Spear, which was relatively easy to evade or block, Shadow Thorn resembled the effects of the Forbidden Talent Concealment. Unless one was a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, it was virtually impossible to detect.

Ye Tian’s attack proved effective. The commander-level forbidden insect couldn’t evade and was struck at its weakest point, sustaining immediate injuries.

Without delay, Ye Tian launched a second Shadow Thorn, targeting the same vulnerable spot and wounding the commander-level forbidden insect again.

This pattern continued, as Ye Tian periodically unleashed Shadow Thorn, inflicting progressively severe injuries on the commander-level forbidden insect.

The forbidden insect, now driven mad, furiously counterattacked, repeatedly wounding Ye Tian. However, thanks to the rapid recovery offered by his Forbidden Origin Power, Ye Tian remained unkillable.

For other Invincible Dao Ancestors, retreat would likely have been the only option at this stage. However, the commander-level forbidden insect, bound by its orders, refused to flee. Its sole focus was on killing Ye Tian.

As time passed, the commander-level forbidden insect approached death’s door, severely wounded.

Suddenly, Ye Tian erupted with a strike from the Dark Limit Dao Spear. This time, the commander-level forbidden insect, weakened and unable to muster its full defenses, failed to block the attack. The spear pierced straight through its body.

The strike left the commander-level forbidden insect gravely injured and on the verge of death. Nearby, a group of elite-level forbidden insects seemed poised to rush in and save it. However, Ye Tian acted faster, launching a flurry of attacks to prevent their intervention.

As the elite-level forbidden insects closed in, Ye Tian decisively delivered a finishing blow, slaying the commander-level forbidden insect.

Immediately, Ye Tian claimed the corpse of the commander-level forbidden insect. Then, using Shadow Thorn, he found an opportune angle to pierce through the bodies of the approaching elite-level forbidden insects in a single strike, killing them instantly.

At this moment, Ye Tian halted his slaughter to focus on healing his wounds.

The prolonged battle against the commander-level forbidden insect had left him with significant injuries. Though not life-threatening, they weren’t negligible either. To maximize his effectiveness in the ongoing fight, he needed to fully recover.

The scene of Ye Tian slaying the commander-level forbidden insect was captured by several nearby Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, each of whom was left utterly stunned.

For a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor to kill a commander-level forbidden insect was akin to a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor defeating an Invincible Dao Ancestor—a feat that defied the natural order!

“He’s grown even stronger!” exclaimed Flame Ancestor of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, his eyes filled with shock.

Previously, Ye Tian’s concealment abilities had been formidable and nearly impossible to counter. Though striking after entering stealth would expose his position, it still left little time for opponents to react. At the time, the inability of five Pinnacle Dao Ancestors to cooperate was the only reason Ye Tian had prevailed.

But this time, Flame Ancestor had witnessed Ye Tian’s lethal new technique. It allowed him to strike the commander-level forbidden insect’s body instantly, with no warning, no defense, and no escape. Such a method was terrifyingly effective.

Had Ye Tian possessed this technique during their earlier encounter, Flame Ancestor and the other four Pinnacle Dao Ancestors would likely have been swiftly defeated, perhaps even killed.

…

On another front, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity battled a lord-level forbidden insect. Suddenly, two additional lord-level forbidden insects appeared beside him.

It wasn’t until they were almost upon him that Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity noticed.

“Not good!” he exclaimed in alarm.

Boom! Boom!

The two lord-level forbidden insects immediately launched their attacks. Their long legs pierced through Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity’s defenses, striking his Forbidden Armor. Blood sprayed as he staggered backward, severely wounded.

Now surrounded by three lord-level forbidden insects, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity was besieged, his situation perilous beyond measure.
