Chapter 506: Spiritual Insect
Seeing this, he quickly went towards the corpse and took the armour out. He didn’t have any armour like treasure, but with the Supreme Crystal dragon armour, his defence would be impenetrable even by fourth-order supremes.
He quickly put the grand elder’s corpse and armour in his storage ring, and then he looked at the remaining people from the Ancient Crystal Dragon Clan.
Balerion, the young master, watched everything that just happened with his open eyes and couldn’t believe seeing the final outcome.
The invincible grand elder.
A being revered throughout the ancient Crystal Dragon Clan. A transcendent being who stood near the peak of the current era.
Had died, just like that. Killed by a First-Order Transcendent.
Seeing Apollo glancing towards him, his legs started to tremble; he almost shit himself in horror. Those calm eyes seem to let him feel death. But everyone wasn’t frozen; the strongest commander of the Red Dragon Legion quickly came forward and supported Balerion and shielded him from Apollo’s gaze.
"Oh, there’s still someone worth a glance." Apollo smiled as his gaze settled on the commander.
Among the four transcendent commanders, this man was clearly the strongest. Even after seeing the grand elder fall, he still dared to stand before Apollo without fear.
This kind of mindset already set him above everyone present here.
This commander was second-order transcendent and have very steady aura and strong foundation, making his potential quite high.
The other three transcendent commanders were so terrified that they didn’t dare to move. They understood that in front of Apollo it was meaningless to fight. At that, whether the transcendents or the other thousand soldiers from the red dragon legion, they all seem to have lost their souls.
They didn’t try to run, or their legs weren’t moving. Apollo’s presence made it impossible for them to move, as in that moment he was that terrifying for them.
Apollo didn’t even care about them but instead looked at the commander who still had fire within him. He felt he was a bit different, not just because he had strong will, but he felt something with him that made him feel a bit disturbed.
"Oh," feeling this, his spiritual sense like a galaxy covered the commander, and in a matter of seconds everything about him seemed to become clear. And what he saw truly surprised him.
What he saw was that within his mind there was an insect, a spiritual insect. It was tiny, almost impossible to detect. Yet it had rooted itself deep within the man’s soul.
He immediately understood that he was forcefully being controlled.
This was the first time Apollo had encountered such a thing. More importantly, this insect was far from ordinary. Even he felt a trace of discomfort while observing it.
Although he had never seen such a creature before, the fragmented records of countless ancient beings he read in Sky Tower surfaced in his mind.
In the earliest eras of the universe, there had existed many terrifying and mysterious lifeforms beyond ordinary understanding.
And this spiritual insect... Almost certainly belonged to one of those forgotten eras.
This spiritual insect seems to have sensed that it was being watched and started showing movements.
Bzzz Bzzz...
"Aaah!"
The commander seemed so agitated suddenly and almost cried in pain and agony. and then he seemed to lost his mind and his expression returned to normal but Apollo knew that wasn’t it.
He noticed the cold eyes without any signs of any emotion. They weren’t the eyes of the living but were like the eyes of death, a corpse without any feeling, only the command to follow.
And a terrifying power within him started brewing. "Not Good!" Apollo noticed this immediately and made this move.
The space around the commander seemed to freeze, and then he appeared right besides the commander. He placed a hand on the commander’s forehead.
Boom!
A vast ocean of spiritual power surged from Apollo and invaded the commander’s mind.
Boom!
The moment his consciousness entered, he found himself standing within a dark mental landscape.
The entire mindscape was covered in mist, and at its centre hung a horrifying mist-like black insect the size of a mountain.
Buzz! Buzz!
The spiritual insect seemed agitated seeing Apollo intrude on its spiritual space. The mind space of the commander started to tremble as the spiritual insect tried to force Apollo’s spiritual sense out. freewёbnoνel.com
Boom!
Their spiritual senses collided, and shockingly neither side gained momentum; it appeared both sides were equal.
It shocked Apollo, as his spiritual sense already reached the supreme level, and yet he was just equal to the spiritual insect. This just showed how extraordinary this spiritual insect is and, more importantly, the terrifying master who controls it.
Apollo’s spiritual power and the spiritual insect appeared evenly matched at first, but the situation quickly began to change.
The spiritual insect was no ordinary creature.
It possessed no physical body and was formed entirely from pure spiritual essence. Against ordinary spiritual attacks, it was almost invincible. It was a natural predator of souls and consciousness.
Bzzz! Bzzz!
The insect let out a strange buzzing sound.
Immediately, the commander’s mental space began to darken. Countless black threads spread through the surroundings like a spider’s web, attempting to devour Apollo’s spiritual power.
His expression changed a bit as the situation became troublesome. He tried to use his spiritual power to create black and cut through those black threads.
Clang! Clang!...
But no matter how many times he tried, the result remained the same, and the threads didn’t even budge. Like the moment those black threads make contact with his spiritual power, it seems to devour most of it, making it weaker and weaker with every contact.
His eyes furrowed, and he immediately decided it cannot go on like this, and instantly an ethereal and eternal sword rule appeared in the mind space. It was like a rising sun in the darkness and cut through those mists like spiritual essence and severed the black threads.
The spiritual insect seemed to feel pain for a time and went berserk, and the black mist seemed to start to completely devour not only Apollo’s spiritual thought but also the commander’s.
But in front of the mysterious Eternal sword rule that can affect physical and spiritual entities, it was like silk in front of scissors. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Apollo also didn’t hold back, as the spiritual insect let out a shrill, ear-piercing screech.
Bzzzz!!!
Its body twisted violently as if it had encountered its natural nemesis. The Eternal Sword Rule descended like divine judgement.
Slash!
The black mist that formed the insect’s body split apart instantly. Instantly destroying it from the core of its life form.
