Chapter 2544: The Spatial Insect Emperor

Jian Chen concealed his presence and left the divine hall with the grand elder.

The grand elder was wearing a set of armor. The armor did not seem special, but it was a medium quality G.o.d artifact. It could protect the grand elder’s soul.

Energy had turned into terrifying storms that wreaked havoc in the surroundings. Extremely terrifying streaks of light would fall down from time to time with devastating power.

The battle outside was extremely intense. People would get wounded or die at every moment, and the ground had already been dyed red, forming rivers of blood.

Jian Chen and Cheng Ming landed on the ground silently. They mixed into the messy crowd, using their surroundings to cover them as they made their way towards the depths of the imperial palace.

All the experts of the empire were taking part in the battle, so no one noticed them. They pa.s.sed through the many halls smoothly as they hid themselves purposefully. They arrived in the forbidden grounds without alarming anyone.

As soon as they arrived there, Jian Chen’s heart s.h.i.+vered. He could clearly feel danger with his sharp senses.

The danger was fatal.

Jian Chen was stern as he stared at the empty entrance to the forbidden grounds. He knew the forbidden grounds definitely would not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

“This forbidden ground is where the four Grand Primes of the Cloudsurge Empire cultivate. Anyone who barges in there without their permission will definitely die, as the soul of a Spatial Insect Emperor is sealed in the s.p.a.ce here. It guards this place.” The grand elder stopped. He did not approach the forbidden grounds. Instead, he explained to Jian Chen, “Spatial Insects are a type of s.p.a.ce beast. They’re a rather special species, possessing the natural ability to fuse with s.p.a.ce. They truly have the ability to come and go soundlessly, making them very difficult to deal with. As for Spatial Insect Emperors, they’re akin to Grand Primes. Even for people who are slightly stronger than a given Spatial Insect Emperor, killing them is almost impossible.”

“However, this Spatial Insect Emperor was very unlucky. It just happened to run into the Rain Abbess, who had grasped the Laws of s.p.a.ce. In the end, it was slain by the Rain Abbess, and its soul was sealed here…”

“Grand elder, just how powerful is this Rain Abbess?” Jian Chen could not help but become curious about this foreign Rain Abbess when he heard her being mentioned again.

He heard about the Rain Abbess the most after coming to the Delight Plane. She was a supreme existence that instilled fear in all the peak experts of the Delight Plane.

Cheng Ming was stern. “The Rain Abbess is very powerful. The Azure Peng King who hunted you down before isn’t even her opponent.”

Jian Chen’s heart s.h.i.+vered when he heard that. He developed a strong sense of dread towards her.

“Be careful and hide your presence. Don’t alarm the beast soul hidden in the s.p.a.ce there. We’re about to enter,” the grand elder called out at this moment. With a flip of his hand, a rainbow Heaven-linking Bridge appeared, directly extending into the depths of the forbidden grounds.

“The forbidden grounds are extremely dangerous. Not only do they have the Spatial Insect Emperor’s soul, but the place is also protected by powerful formations. We can only enter through the Heaven-linking Bridge,” said Cheng Ming before stepping onto the bridge with Jian Chen.

“Oh no, someone has intruded the forbidden grounds. It’s a Heaven-linking Bridge. A Heaven-linking Bridge has appeared in the forbidden grounds…”

At this moment, a cry rang out in the distance. A Chaotic Prime discovered what was happening in the forbidden grounds and spoke out to warn everyone.

Immediately, some of the Chaotic Primes wanted to break free and tend to it, but they were entangled by their opponents.

“We can’t let them intrude the forbidden grounds. Quick, awaken the Spatial Insect Emperor…” Ye Yizhan bellowed.

With that, determination flooded the face of an armored G.o.dking. He did not hide his presence, and he charged towards the forbidden grounds aggressively.

“Go!” The grand elder frowned and called for Jian Chen. The two of them stepped onto the Heaven-linking Bridge and rapidly approached the forbidden grounds.

Just when they pa.s.sed through the various invisible formations, the armored G.o.dking arrived.

However, at this moment, something happened. The s.p.a.ce near the forbidden grounds shattered like a mirror all of a sudden, becoming covered with web-like cracks.

The armored G.o.dking stood within the cracks. He was carved into pieces.

Fortunately, his soul managed to escape. He fled towards the distance with a face full of fear.

Unfortunately, before he could travel very far away, the s.p.a.ce in front of him was ripped open again. Like a beast’s gaping mouth, it devoured the G.o.dking’s soul whole.

“The Spatial Insect Emperor!” The emperor of the Cloudsurge Empire became extremely stern. He stared at the s.p.a.ce near the forbidden grounds as he showed deep fear.

At this moment, the s.p.a.ce that had been ripped open near the forbidden grounds closed up in an instant as if it was under the influence of some mysterious power. However, in the next moment, the s.p.a.ce there suddenly froze and everything fell silent.

The Heaven-linking Bridge was affected as well. Its rainbow light froze, clearly seizing up with the s.p.a.ce.

“The soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor has been awakened. It wants to restrain our Heaven-linking Bridge. Hmph, if you were at your peak condition, that naturally would not have been a problem, but you’re just a soul right now,” Cheng Ming sneered, and with a thought, the Heaven-linking Bridge immediately shrunk, easily retreating out of the frozen s.p.a.ce.

In the end, the huge bridge shrank back to its original, tiny size and was stowed away by Cheng Ming.

Hiss!

A sharp hiss rang out from outside the forbidden grounds. It could pierce through anything, causing Jian Chen’s soul to ache slightly.

This was a furious cry from the beast soul. In the next moment, the s.p.a.ce outside the forbidden grounds shook violently, and the landscape outside immediately turned into a blur.

“Let’s go. The Rain Abbess has personally arranged this place, so the beast soul won’t be able to enter. Let’s not waste any time.” Cheng Ming no longer paid any attention to the Spatial Insect Emperor’s soul. He took Jian Chen away without even looking back, entering the depths of the forbidden grounds.

Cheng Ming seemed to know the layout of the forbidden grounds extremely well. He made his way to a beautiful courtyard easily with Jian Chen.

“This is where the Rain Abbess cultivates. Everything that we want is with the Rain Abbess,” Cheng Ming said as he pointed at the courtyard before directly entering it.

“Grand elder, aren’t there any formations here?” Jian Chen could not help but ask when he saw how Cheng Ming did not prepare himself for anything.

The grand elder chuckled from that. “All the protective measures are outside. Since we pa.s.sed through them, everything else is easy. Don’t worry. Where the Rain Abbess cultivates is very safe. There are no dangers hidden at all.”
