You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts

Chapter 900: Chapter 408: Sword Qi Sweeps Across 30,000 Miles (Part 2)

It was a semi-humanoid creature, nearly three meters tall, featuring the exoskeleton traits characteristic of the Insect Race, yet its posture seemed more human-like. Four transparent wings sprouted from its back, and although its head lacked compound eyes, it bore a face almost human, only covered by a chitinous mask.

"Insect King..."

Anna’s voice trembled, her expression filled with despair: "Its evolutionary speed outstrips predictions; it’s already nearing its perfect form."

The Insect King slowly lifted its head, its golden pupils locking onto the intruders.

Rather than attacking immediately, it emitted a sound resembling language, directly communicating through telepathy into everyone’s mind.

"You... are interesting. More interesting than former prey..."

Victor was the first to launch an attack, transforming into a dark mist, rushing toward the Insect King.

However, the Insect King merely raised its hand lightly, and an invisible force field repelled the Blood Race Prince, causing him to crash heavily against the wall.

"Lowly creatures... dare challenge a king?"

Adeline felt unprecedented pressure, even greater than when facing the Insect General.

The energy fluctuations emitted by the Insect King far exceeded her estimations, leading among the Golden Martial Saints, almost akin to a demigod.

Yet she could not retreat, William’s sacrifice must not be in vain.

"Anna, prepare the interference device."

Adeline whispered, "I’ll draw its attention."

Without awaiting a response, Adeline had already rushed out, her body entirely enveloped by Moonlight True Qi, akin to a silver meteor. The Insect King appeared surprised at her speed, adopting a defensive stance for the first time.

"Thousand Shadows of Moonlight!"

Adeline’s figure suddenly split into dozens, attacking the Insect King from various angles.

Most were mere afterimages, but sufficient to confuse the foe. The actual attack came from above, where she wielded her Energy Longbow like a sword, piercing directly toward the Insect King’s head.

The Insect King dodged swiftly, yet still grazed its shoulder.

Green blood oozed, the first time it revealed an angry expression.

"You will... pay."

The Insect King’s four wings suddenly vibrated rapidly, distorting the air throughout the space. Adeline felt immense pressure attacking from all directions, as if she was about to be crushed.

Her Moonlight True Qi barely formed a shield, but cracks were already appearing.

At that moment, Anna activated the interference device at maximum power. A piercing noise filled the space, noticeably halting the Insect King’s actions. Seizing the opportunity, Victor struck again, this time successfully leaving five deep wounds on the Insect King’s back with his claws.

"Now! Destroy the core!"

Anna shouted, simultaneously throwing a batch of mini nuclear bombs toward the Heart of the Insect Race.

Adeline knew this was the only chance. She condensed all her Moonlight True Qi into her right hand, forming an unprecedentedly large energy arrow.

"Moonlight... Illuminate the World!" freewёbnoνel.com

The instant the arrow was released, the entire space was bathed in silver light.

The Insect King roared angrily, trying to intercept it, but it was too late. The arrow accurately hit the Heart of the Insect Race, and Anna’s bombs exploded simultaneously.

A massive energy shock wave swept across the entire core area.

The Insect King attempted to protect the core at the last moment, but was directly hit by the explosion, its exoskeleton beginning to crack.

The Insect Nest started violently shaking, the organic matter on the walls withering swiftly.

"Quickly, go! The whole Insect Nest is collapsing!"

Anna pulled the injured Victor toward the exit.

Adeline took one last look at the crumbling Insect King and Heart of the Insect Race, then turned to follow her teammates. As the passage kept collapsing, they had to escape before being buried alive.

When they finally rushed out of the Insect Nest, the gigantic structure behind them had started to collapse. The blood-colored clouds dispersed under the explosive shock wave, with long-lost sunlight shining on the land ravaged by conflict.

In the distance, human armies let out triumphant cheers.

But Adeline knew this was only a battle won; the war was far from over. She gazed toward the horizon, where perhaps greater threats awaited humanity?

William’s sacrifice, the blood of innumerable warriors, all were to buy humanity more time. Adeline clenched her fist, Moonlight True Qi circulating once more within her.

As long as she was alive, she would continue to fight.

The rumbling of the collapsing Insect Nest still echoed throughout the Land of Canaan, with the shattered organic structure carpeting the ground like the dying innards of a giant beast. Adeline knelt on one knee on the scorched earth, her silver-white hair stained with blood and dust. She looked up at the dissipating blood-colored clouds; sunlight pierced the haze like a sword, casting on her fatigued face.

"Did we... win?"

A swordsman from Rapids Castle removed his damaged helmet, revealing a look of relief and survival.

Anna’s scanner emitted an urgent alarm, shocking her: "No... The energy readings are still rising! Even higher than before!"

Victor suddenly grabbed Adeline’s shoulder, the Blood Race Prince losing composure: "Look up!"

At the center of the swirling clouds, a pitch-black rift was expanding.

This was no ordinary dimensional rift; its edges flickered with eerie temporal ripples, as though numerous transparent threads were weaving something. As the rift widened, a suffocating spiritual pressure descended upon the earth, causing the surviving warriors to kneel, akin to ants facing a natural enemy.

"What... is that..."

Adeline gritted her teeth, Moonlight True Qi operating automatically to resist this pressure, yet it was as feeble as a candle in a storm.

A massive silhouette gradually emerged from the rift.

First revealed was a head—half human, half insect, covered in shell as translucent as jade, possessing some feminine features yet devoid of any emotion.

What’s more terrifying, beneath the head, the body was tightly enveloped in a blood cocoon woven from numerous temporal threads, each line shimmering with light and shadows from different timespaces.

"Insect Queen..."

Anna’s instrument screen shattered, and she trembled, retreating, "It’s absorbing the entire Doomsday Insect Swarm’s power... growing stronger by the second!"

The Insect Queen exposed only half her head, her golden vertical pupils sweeping over the earth.

Wherever her gaze landed, space began to distort. A team of cheering European soldiers suddenly froze, their moments forcibly severed, their expressions of the last instant solidifying into statues.

"Mortals..."

The Insect Queen’s voice exploded directly in everyone’s mind, not language, but pure Spiritual Shock: "Your resistance... is amusing..."

Adeline bled from her seven apertures, barely maintaining her stance.

She saw distant scarlet insect cocoons suddenly bursting open, countless Advanced Insect Race units emerging, each one emanating energy fluctuations rivaling the previously annihilated Insect King.

"Night God..."

The People of the Crescent’s priests began praying: "Please save your people..."

As if answering the prayer, night suddenly descended—though it ought to be noon.

Strangely, constellations appeared, a black moon hung overhead, casting dark rays. From the moonlight emerged a figure, draped in a robe woven of night, face cloaked in shadow, only the eyes as deep as two black holes.

"Praise the Night God!"

The People of the Crescent knelt in worship.

The Night God was silent, merely raising a flawless hand, the entire night sky condensed at her will, transforming into a black spear, piercing directly at the Insect Queen.

That was an attack capable of piercing the Divine Body; where the spear traversed, space fractured inch by inch.

For the first time, the Insect Queen showed an emotion—she smiled.

The temporal cocoon suddenly unfurled, blooming like a peacock’s tail.

The Night God’s spear penetrated the cocoon but sank as if into a mire, slowing down progressively, ultimately freezing midair. What’s more dreadful, those temporal lines began wrapping inversely, extending toward the Night God’s body.

"No... impossible..."

Adeline witnessed the Night God’s silhouette start to blur, temporal threads weaving webs around the revered Night God.

The Night God tried to break free, but every struggle tightened the bind. Ultimately, the Night God became completely still, turning into a black statue embedded in spacetime.

The Insect Queen effortlessly crushed a Martial God!

Despair flooded the human coalition army.

Their most powerful Guardian God was easily sealed; what hope remained?

"Prepare for the ultimate charge."

Victor bared his fangs, knowing defeat was certain: "We’re true Blood Race; we die standing."

Suddenly, a cold star brightened in the eastern horizon.

Initially weak as a firefly, the light ballooned within a breath to a sword light spanning heaven and earth.

Sword Qi spanning thirty thousand miles, one sword light chills nineteen provinces!
