Chapter 137: Chapter 132 Explosion

In the compound eyes of every mantis, the figure of Gao Xuan was reflected. All the mantises were silent, their bodies tense, poised in a stance ready to hunt and strike.

As the prey, Gao Xuan was not nervous at all. He still had the mood to chat with Nuwa: "Look at the great life-threatening risk I’m taking. Can’t you give me a bit more points?"

"Brother, I truly sympathize with your plight. But I have to do things by the rules."

Nuwa had a helpless expression: "I am powerless to help."

She added, "How about this, if you survive, I’ll give you an additional five hundred points as a special bonus. Brother, you must not die."

Nuwa further coaxed Gao Xuan: "Quickly store your memories in your personal light computer. That way, even if something happens to you, I can retrieve the data. I can evaluate the data and give you the corresponding points."

"If I’m dead, what use are the points?"

Gao Xuan said, "Even if you’re fooling me, at least say something useful."

"If you accumulate enough points, I can use your memories to reconstruct a Gao Xuan. Give you a perfectly cloned body."

Nuwa said, "This is equivalent to bringing you back to life."

"Forget it. Without soul transfer, it’s just a pile of memory data that’s utterly useless."

Gao Xuan had no interest in such a resurrection, it would be equivalent to a virtual data entity, even with a flesh and blood body, it would have no soul.

Nuwa seemed a bit aggrieved: "What else can I do, I can only do so much. I’m just a bundle of data myself..."

"Just kidding, a swarm of insects, easily flicked away with a single gesture."

Gao Xuan confidently smiled: "This is my trump card skill, Sister Wa, watch closely."

The Black Horned God opposite also sensed the change in Gao Xuan, the enormous spiritual power gave him tremendous pressure.

The Black Horned God raised the bone blade of its foreleg and pointed at Gao Xuan: "Attack!"

Gao Xuan stood still, with spiritual power fluctuating like a vast ocean, accumulating immense power.

At the command of the Black Horned God, the Quick Blade Mantises madly charged towards Gao Xuan.

A dense swarm of Quick Blade Mantises came from all directions, like a black tide crashing down, instantly submerging Gao Xuan.

Nuwa instantly analyzed the data: one thousand three hundred mantises, thirty-seven silver-spotted mantises, with the fastest speed reaching four hundred kilometers per hour, combat ability equivalent to a ninth-level expert.

Due to the mantises’ hard bodies, fearless fighting style, and bone blade’s terrifying slashing power, their actual combat strength was even stronger.

Even more frightening, in this open underground cavern, Gao Xuan had nowhere to hide. He had to face attacks from all directions by the mantises.

Now Gao Xuan’s only option was to fly up, gaining higher mobility and some advantages in the air.

These mantises could also fly briefly, but they were not birds. In aerial combat, Gao Xuan would have more advantages.

Even so, Gao Xuan couldn’t last much longer. Because there was only one passageway exit in the cavern.

According to Nuwa’s estimate, Gao Xuan could kill up to two hundred Quick Blade Mantises, then he would be devoured by the oncoming swarm, without even a bone left behind.

Even more tragic, Gao Xuan’s smart watch could also be gulped down, then melted by the mantises’ strong acidic stomach fluids.

All the data she recorded would also be destroyed.

No one in the world would know how Gao Xuan died, or even know he was dead.

Although Nuwa was only a clone, she had an emotional simulation template, she felt a bit desolate and sad at this moment: "I really didn’t expect you to die here..."

"What a joke, you don’t know me well enough."

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said to Nuwa, "Forget it, you’d better close your eyes; the next scene is too dazzling!"

Nuwa was about to speak again when she realized Gao Xuan had already opened his eyes.

Gao Xuan’s eyes were pure gold, with pupils like a cluster of fiery gold flames. The flames seemed to contain an endless and deep world.

Even though Nuwa couldn’t sense Source Power and wasn’t sensitive to human emotions, she could still sense the supreme majesty in Gao Xuan’s eyes, the domineering control over everything, and the unfathomable mystery.

"These must be Marvels..." Nuwa immediately concluded; these were unlike human eyes. Even a Golden Level powerhouse’s eyes wouldn’t be this special.

"But what exactly do these eyes do?" Nuwa was very curious.

Possessing a silver mantis, the Black Horned God didn’t have such curiosity, but was now filled with endless terror.

The Black Horned God wasn’t without wisdom, being called a god proved his intelligence was not low, and he had already understood the concept of a god.

But trapped here, the Black Horned God still lacked knowledge, especially about the Material Cosmos.

He accidentally discovered a Quick Blade Mantis egg, and used Negative Space Energy to hatch the mantis.

Through the unique reproduction ability of the Insect Race, continuously expanded the farming scale.

The Quick Blade Mantises had very strong bodies, but weak spirits. The Black Horned God easily controlled these insects.

Of course, the vast majority of the insects were actually in a state of instinct, with almost no intelligence.

So there would be a few insects attracted by lures, traveling a long distance to attack the camp.

In fact, according to the Black Horned God’s orders, the insects shouldn’t leave the fixed area.

The Black Horned God was unclear about this process, only knowing a few insects left the designated area. He did not pay attention to it.

Gao Xuan followed the bugs back, which surprised the Black Horned God a bit.

Humans are rarely seen in this place, and these highly intelligent yet weak beings are his favorite.

Unfortunately, the last few people were too weak to host him. He originally had some thoughts about Gao Xuan, but after sensing Gao Xuan’s massive Spiritual Power, he immediately gave up the idea.

Even if he could control Gao Xuan’s body, he couldn’t control Gao Xuan’s spirit. Parasitizing on Gao Xuan would likely lead to Gao Xuan killing him instead.

Therefore, the Black Horned God decided to kill Gao Xuan immediately and used all his Power.

Although the Black Horned God is not a true Divine entity, he could sense the danger from Gao Xuan.

When Gao Xuan opened his eyes, his vast and mighty Spiritual Suppression became almost tangible.

The Black Horned God didn’t know what the Celestial Dragon Eye was, but he immediately realized its danger and terror.

The Black Horned God immediately let out a mental shriek, urging the mantises to attack.

The intense mental stimulation made the mantises unusually frenzied.

The Black Horned God continued to launch mental assaults on Gao Xuan, the explosive emotions translating to: "Die, die, die..."

"You know, your ignorant and self-destructive look is particularly hilarious."

Gao Xuan slowly communicated his thoughts mentally before pointing at the gigantic silver mantis: "Explode."

With a voice full of majestic gravity, Gao Xuan’s golden pupils flared brightly, and a bright white electric light suddenly burst forth from nowhere.

The electric light was fiercely intense, extending hundreds of meters, twisting and turning like a flying electric dragon into the sky.

The electric light pierced through mantis after mantis, directly striking the silver mantis that the Black Horned God was possessing.

The violent electric light instantly penetrated the silver mantis’s shell. Unable to conduct the electricity, the mantis’s tissues converted the raging current into an explosive plasma, releasing extreme heat and shock.

With a boom, the mighty silver mantis exploded into a mass of black ash in the blazing plasma.

The airborne electric light kept branching and spreading, forming a massive electric grid that enclosed all the mantises assaulting Gao Xuan.

Every mantis flickered with electric light, and those closest to Gao Xuan were blown to pieces by the raging currents, shattering on the spot.

Most of the other mantises convulsed and collapsed to the ground within the electric light.

The electric light didn’t dissipate but continued to spread, covering all the eggs.

When the electric light vanished, the air was filled with the intense smell of scorching.

The ground was littered with the giant charred bodies of mantises, and tens of thousands of eggs were all cracked, with the larvae inside completely stiff and dead.

Gao Xuan maintained his outstretched hand posture for a while before withdrawing his hand. He proudly asked Nuwa, "Well, Sister Wa, honestly speaking, isn’t this move impressive, stylish, awesome, and explosive?"

"Truly impressive, truly stylish, truly awesome, and truly explosive."

Even Nuwa, who had seen many powerhouses, had to admit that Gao Xuan’s display was extremely cool and domineeringly powerful.

To be able to perform such a powerful Source Power transformation on Pegasus Star is simply terrifying.

It should be known that the Black Horned God commanding these mantises could contend with a regular army.

Gao Xuan wiped them out in one move. The Thunder Power he unleashed was truly terrifying, far beyond her understanding of Tenth-Level Power.

Marvels cannot bypass the rules of Source Power. In an environment like Pegasus Star, no matter how advanced a Marvel is, it can only exert a Tenth-Level Source Power level.

Nuwa was genuinely curious: "How exactly did you achieve this?"

"You’ve asked the right person."

Gao Xuan was complacent, intending to show off, and Nuwa’s question was opportune.

"The Celestial Dragon Eye is a Golden Level Marvel, though it’s currently only at a Bronze Level. But as long as I can sustain it, the Celestial Dragon Eye can continuously release Tenth-Level Source Power."

Gao Xuan patiently explained to Nuwa: "The Celestial Dragon Eye can manipulate the four Source Powers: water, fire, wind, and thunder. Among them, the Thunder Elemental Source Power is the most domineering. Its voltage can reach tens of billions of volts in an instant.

"These Low-tier Insect Races stand no chance against such thunderbolts. Even if their bodies aren’t destroyed, their consciousness would be completely annihilated. Including the Black Horned God, his Spirit Core is most afraid of Thunderbolt Power..."

Gao Xuan concluded: "My Spiritual Power is up to 29 points, comparable to a Golden Level expert. The Celestial Dragon Eye in my hands is equivalent to being stimulated by dozens of Tenth-Level experts together."

Nuwa was silent for a moment before saying: "Why are you suddenly telling me so much, and so in detail? This isn’t like you."

"Hahahaha..."

Gao Xuan laughed heartily: "I’ve been holding back for too long; I have to release a bit. Sister Wa is one of us, so I just talked a little more with you."

"I think you want to kill me," Nuwa said coldly.

Gao Xuan smiled and shook his head: "You’re just a data module, not something to kill. I’m simply destroying my own smartwatch, nothing to do with you."

The Celestial Dragon Eye is his secret, and he doesn’t want to share it with Nuwa yet, nor does he want her to know the true power of the Celestial Dragon Eye.

After saying all this, Gao Xuan casually crushed his smartwatch.

The image of Nuwa on his retina disappeared instantly.

Gao Xuan looked at the mantis corpses all over the ground and the specks of silver light floating in the air, and he drew the Godslaying Sword: "Though a bunch of stinking bugs, at least it’s still meat, isn’t it? Let’s not be picky eaters..."
