Chapter 2550: In Danger

However, the Spatial Insect Emperor did not give up. Not only did it persist, but excitement and desire even appeared in its eyes that had almost lost all of its light.

It had tasted a mysterious power that made it drool from the portion it had swallowed earlier. The mysterious power tempted it so much that it could no longer care about anything else. Regardless of the price, it had to obtain that power.

The Spatial Insect Emperor opened its mouth and sucked again. It was trying to devour Jian Chen’s soul once more. It wanted to absorb the mysterious power that made its blood surge from Jian Chen’s soul.

Its instincts told it that if it could absorb that mysterious power, it would gain unimaginable benefits.

However, no matter how it tried to absorb the mysterious power in Jian Chen’s soul, it failed. Instead, the mysterious power caused it agony, and its illusionary figure squirmed unnaturally as it result. It was like it was in pain.

In the end, the Spatial Insect Emperor opened its little mouth and spat out the portion of Jian Chen’s soul again.

Afterwards, the Spatial Insect Emperor began to devour and spit up the portion of Jian Chen’s soul endlessly.

Jian Chen gradually stopped his attacks towards the Spatial Insect Emperor as well. His battle prowess was extremely limited in his sea of consciousness. His most powerful attacks would depend on his soul.

However, his soul was only an Infinite Prime’s, while the Spatial Insect Emperor was a Grand Prime. The difference was just too great, so it was like comparing an ant to an elephant. He felt like he was just scratching the Spatial Beast Emperor’s itches.

If the Spatial Beast Emperor was outside, he might have been able to pose a certain level of threat towards it through certain methods, but they were completely useless in his sea of consciousness. As a result, there was nothing he could do about the Spatial Insect Emperor.

“Fortunately, the Spatial Insect Emperor has lost its intelligence and only acts on its instincts, or the consequences will really be unimaginable.” Jian Chen secretly celebrate as he looked at the Spatial Insect Emperor that constantly devoured and regurgitated the portion of his soul.

He was well aware that if the intelligence of the Spatial Insect Emperor remained, it would have many methods it could use against him. He would never be its opponent in a battle of souls.

At this moment, the effects of the Soul-numbing Pill appeared. Jian Chen immediately felt his soul blur. Vaguely, his consciousness seemed to fall under some influence, becoming rather unclear. He felt sleepy.

However, Jian Chen’s soul had fused with a strand of true Chaotic Force, so it had changed a long time ago. As a result, the pill had limited effects on him. It was not enough to knock him out.

However, the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor did not have it that easy. It was indeed much more powerful than Jian Chen’s soul, but it was not as resistant to the Soul-numbing Pill as him.

Immediately, the Spatial Insect Emperor became weaker and weaker. Sleepiness gradually appeared in its eyes. They dropped as it gradually fell asleep.

The grand elder paid close attention to Jian Chen’s reactions on the Heaven-linking Bridge outside. After seeing that Jian Chen was fine, he let out a sigh. He arrived beside Jian Chen in a flash and grabbed his shoulder, taking him outside.

At the same time, the effects of the Soul-numbing Pill increased on the Spatial Insect Emperor. Its dull eyes slowly closed.

However, at this moment, its eyes that had just shut suddenly snapped open. Conflict appeared in them, and some light appeared in its eyes as the conflict went on.

It was as if the Spatial Insect Emperor had recovered some intelligence at that moment.

Afterwards, it opened its little mouth and let out a soundless hiss.

Jian Chen’s body immediately trembled violently. His complexion paled as blood flowed from his eyes. It was a frightening sight.

The hiss from the Spatial Insect Emperor was damaging. It upheaved Jian Chen’s entire sea of consciousness, making his soul tremble uncontrollably.

A small portion of his soul collapsed, making Jian Chen feel like his head was splitting open.

Outside, the grand elder seemed to sense something. His expression suddenly changed, and he immediately let go of Jian Chen, traveling far from him in a flash.

In the next moment, the space around Jian Chen silently cracked. Pitch-black crack after pitch-black crack appeared around him like webs.

“Oh no!” Cheng Ming’s face suddenly changed. The armor he was wearing was a medium quality god artifact, and at that moment, it erupted with a powerful pulse of energy. Its complete defences had been unleashed, forming a barrier around Cheng Ming.

Cheng Ming arrived before Jian Chen in a flash, entering the cracked space around him. He used the toughness of the god artifact to uphold the space there, wanting to drag Jian Chen out and take him away forcefully.

However, at this moment, the space in the surroundings seized up. Not only was Jian Chen frozen there, but even Cheng Ming was trapped, frozen in the posture of his hand extending.

However, in the next moment, turbulent energy erupted from Cheng Ming’s armor, forcefully pushing back the frozen space and allowing him to back up immediately, moving out of the forbidden grounds.

He was only a soul now. Using the power of the armor, he could only protect himself. He could not take Jian Chen away from the region of space there.

“Grand elder, we need to go.” A figure silently appeared before the grand elder. He surged with demonic aura as he radiated with a powerful blade intent.

It was Blade Demon out of the five generals.

At that moment, Blade Demon stared at the sky sternly with his eyes shrouded by demonic aura.

“Blade Demon, take Jian Chen out,” Cheng Ming said sternly.

Blade Demon nodded. Just when he was about to act, a huge bolt of lightning struck the divine hall of the Empyrean Demon Cult with a blinding flash. It erupted with a huge boom, causing the high quality god artifact to dim and fall out of the sky.

At the same time, a hand completely condensed from energy appeared. It descended in a devastating manner, heading directly towards the armies of the Empyrean Demon Cult. It enveloped all four generals of the Empyrean Demon Cult.

The Rain Abbess had struck out personally. The palm strike was devastating and shocking.

Blade Demon’s expression changed just when he was about to save Jian Chen. Faced with the situation before him, he could no longer bother with Jian Chen. He vanished with the grand elder, appearing before the divine hall in a flash.

At the same time, the armies of the Empyrean Demon Cult retreated. They returned to the divine hall like a black flood.

The three huge, blood-red skeletons fused together, becoming a giant skeleton. It gave off an endless presence of death, blocking the palm strike that fell from the sky.
