Free Web NovelChapter 1835: Chapter 84: Snow Feather Piercing Cloud (Part 2)
What Zhang Xiaoman didn’t know was that all of this was actually achieved not by him, but by the dragon-shaped phantom that flickered across his body just now.
In the Insect Race army, the Insect Queen was fully tense, as if it had seen some indescribable entity, and stopped moving, assuming a combat stance, fixedly staring at the inconspicuous human demigod ahead.
At that instant, it suddenly felt an unparalleled terrifying pressure enveloping it, as if targeted by the entire world, making it feel an overdue sense of impending death.
At the first moment of being frightened, the Insect Queen halted its steps, its reaction so intense that the entire insect swarm stopped as well. frёeωebɳovel.com
At such a moment, if it were other extraordinary-level experts, they might have already begun contemplating retreat.
After all, the feeling at that moment was too terrifying, that kind of presence couldn’t possibly come from an ordinary lower god.
To become an extraordinary-level individual, there’s a similarity in their attitude towards danger—caution.
With the perception of an extraordinary level, if they truly sense danger, even if only briefly, they’d very likely turn and leave without hesitation.
Therefore, having talent alone isn’t enough in cultivation; one must also be cautious. The reckless ones mostly perish halfway, and naturally won’t achieve much.
Of course, Zi Kuang and his daughter seem to be exceptions.
However, the Insect Queen wasn’t from the Spiritual Wisdom Clan; it was a Desert Worm. Even with intelligence far surpassing most of the Spiritual Wisdom Clan, it couldn’t avoid the inherent traits of the Desert Worm Clan.
Thus, after the insect swarm was beaten for several minutes while stationary, and the previous aura hadn’t appeared again, the Insect Queen finally succumbed to its inner bloodthirsty desire and issued the order to attack again.
But it was not stupid; although it ordered the insect swarm forward, it hid, concealed its aura, and blended back into the main force.
Watching the swarming sea of insects, Zhang Xiaoman sighed slightly in his heart, realizing that borrowing Ni Yang’s aura hadn’t scared them off, and now he would have to forcefully intervene.
Behind him, Zi Kuang became restless, his gaze continuously shifting between Zhang Xiaoman and the insect swarm, intending to suggest leaving together, but each time the words reached his lips, he inexplicably recalled that terrifying aura emitted earlier, ultimately swallowing his words.
"Boy, are you ready? My power is already fully accumulated, but to avoid harming the divine soul, I’ll use your hands to cast it! Remember the move I taught you earlier? With your potential, you should have no problem using it!" freewebnovёl.ƈom
Ni Yang’s voice resounded in Zhang Xiaoman’s mind.
As it mentioned, to minimize damage to the divine soul, it planned to use Zhang Xiaoman’s body to cast this energy, and during the conversation earlier between dragon and man, Ni Yang also imparted a new ability to Zhang Xiaoman.
This ability likewise came from the Returning Sea Divine Ability, similar in activation to the Essence Gathering Technique and coupled with Zhang Xiaoman’s exceptional talent, he learned it immediately by just watching once.
"I’m ready. Once that insect queen is taken down, I believe the insect swarm will suffer significant damage, and perhaps the insect domain will be greatly weakened, and those people should have no trouble escaping by then."
Zhang Xiaoman responded through divine thought.
As for the hidden insect queen’s location, and how to find it, he wasn’t concerned at all, for with the Bright Star Ring’s passive, he had no fear of playing hide and seek.
Earlier, Zhang Xiaoman had recorded the aura of this insect queen, and with the simplest tracking technique, he could immediately lock onto its location on this battlefield.
Things unfolded exactly as he anticipated; with a single tracking technique cast, a spiritual power cannon from the alliance fleet behind struck precisely at the insect queen’s hiding place, exposing its location.
Now!
Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes gleamed, his right hand lightly pointed, as if touching a transparent water surface, creating ripples that radiated forward toward the entire insect swarm.
At this moment, the Desert Worms collectively lost their mobility, including several transcendent-level Ancestor Worms, all frozen like puppets, unable even to utter a cry of terror.
The next second, the rippling marks at Zhang Xiaoman’s fingertip suddenly disappeared, transforming into rapidly spinning snowflakes.
The snowflakes displayed beautiful feather shapes, continually contracting towards Zhang Xiaoman’s fingertip, eventually forming an inconspicuous dot.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Xiaoman’s forehead; he felt a massive energy converging at his fingertip, its magnitude so terrifying that he nearly fainted instantly.
Luckily, from the Sect Leader Jade, a gentle spiritual power enveloped him, preventing the energy from causing him to explode.
Yeluo stood aside, feeling the sudden surge of spiritual power, already overwhelmed with excitement.
This is the power of Lord Jixing!
This is true power!
Though she was unaware of the specific level of this power’s strength, one thing was certain—it definitely exceeded the ability of a lower god, and it seemed Lord Jixing was genuinely infuriated; the insect queen might not survive today.
Behind him, Zi Kuang’s expression had long frozen on his face. From the moment Zhang Xiaoman unleashed that terrifying spiritual power, all doubts and suspicions vanished from Zi Kuang’s mind, realizing this person had truly concealed their strength—deeply so.
The vast power like a galaxy, even Blue White Clothes before it would be like an ant, without any chance of resistance!
"Who is he...?"
Zi Kuang was filled with terror; a being above middle-level transcendent, likely few in the entire universe, yet today he’d encountered one. What was this being’s identity, and why did they hide their strength and deceive them? And what about his earlier mention of Ziwei—was it true?
A series of questions arose in Zi Kuang’s mind, but before he could ponder them, Zhang Xiaoman’s attack was already underway.
At that instant, the entire universe seemed to darken; everyone’s visual and spiritual power perception systems were inevitably obscured.
Their minds plunged into blackness, as though deceased, in a space unaware of time or pain, unable to determine when they arrived or how long they remained.
Time seemed to pass in an instant, yet also like eons.
Suddenly, a white line traversing heaven and earth illuminated before them, endless, etching into everyone’s spirit upon appearance, unforgettable for eternity.
Then the dark dispersed, sensibilities returned to everyone, time resumed.
In their eyes, the snow-white line hadn’t vanished, comprising cold snowflakes, penetrating the insect queen’s body, the vast insect swarm, and the entire galaxy.
Zhang Xiaoman lowered his finger, resisting the urge to collapse, maintaining his stance.
This strike was the strongest solo attack within the Returning Sea Divine Ability, named Snow Feather Piercing Cloud, triggered by Ni Yang’s power, killing the insect queen in a single blow.
