Chapter 262: Chapter 122: Mad King Strikes!_2

And her face, if one disregarded those compound eyes full of countless pupils, could be called perfect.

Li Yelai had seen numerous beauties.

Doll, Cheese, Little Mad King were all girls with striking beauty, his younger sister had been a beauty from a young age.

But still, none could compare with this Insect race. The perfection of her face felt unsettling.

Of course, if one said her upper body was that of a beautiful girl, stirring endless desires,

her lower half would extinguish the desires that had just been kindled.

It was a massive tumor, blurry with flesh and pulsating like a heartbeat.

Terrifying blood vessels spread from the base of the tumor to the ground, extending countless tentacles.

This was the overlord of the Insect race, Insect Master, or the Insect Queen!

Beautiful yet eerie, the sovereign of all Insects.

It had bred countless insect swarms in the shadows, and now finally revealed its true form before humans!

At this moment, it screamed in anger or wailed in pain as the Shattering Star Spear not only tore through the Flesh Barrier but even pierced through its shoulder, destroying one of its arms.

"Human, you still have not killed me! To confront me, you need the Mad King! Are you worthy?" it roared in fury, smashing Yang Chen, who had charged into the Flesh Barrier with the Meteor, into a sea of blood.

The destruction of the Flesh Barrier and the severe injury to its body infuriated it. It felt humiliated that Yang Chen dared to attack it alone.

Despite being severely injured, despite its own combat strength not being high, it was still an Eighth Awakening strengthener! A Spiritual Ability Supreme! Without the King, no one could match it!

Without the Mad King, who could kill it! It was ultimately invincible!

It would kill the human before it and rebuild a new Flesh Barrier, continuing to propagate the Insect Swarm!

But the next second, a terrible sense of danger suddenly arrived.

The Insect Master looked sharply upward.

Yang Chen’s motive to charge into the Flesh Barrier with the Shattering Star Spear was not to attack the Insect Master aggressively but to place that pure white jade pendant into the wound of the Insect Master.

It was a Taboo Item, Taiji·Yang!

With the ability to ignore the separation of the Disaster Fog and connect with Taiji·Yin from the outside world!

Now, the activated Taiji·Yang, like a dazzling star, guided Taiji·Yin of the Disaster Fog!

Outside of the Disaster Fog, on the roof of a headquarters building not swallowed by the fog, an elderly man, extremely aged, stood shakily holding a three-pointed two-edged blade and a pitch-black jade pendant.

He was so old that he seemed like he could die at any moment.

Who could have imagined, this old man was the strongest in Border City.

He had once faced the King of Restricted Zone in a bloody battle, and even at a Supreme Level, had attempted to fight the king in a cross-level battle, a person driven by madness.

As the pitch-black jade pendant trembled, he widened his eyes abruptly like thunder exploding!

His aged and withered body became instantly full and robust.

The old man transformed in an instant into a man over two meters tall, his body muscles bulging like steel and tenacity.

At the same time, in the Void Realm, a wild surge of energy gathered, forming a golden throne.

And the projection of the robust man sat on the throne, the king returning to his place.

The Old Mad King returned to his peak!

"Die!" the Mad King in his prime roared, his terrifying voice echoing in the Void Realm.

This caught several Kings of Restricted Zone by surprise or on high alert.

They had no idea about any plan, all worried that the Old Mad King, in desperation, might swap his fate with theirs right before dying.

When they felt the Old Mad King unleash his full strength, the Kings of Restricted Zone focused all their attention, daring not to make any move.

The Old Mad King instantly threw out the three-pointed two-edged blade, tearing through the sky, stabbing into a part of the Disaster Fog, its force so great that even the sky above was ripped open by a vast crack!

Within the Disaster Fog, all humans and insects engaged in battles saw that enormous Meteor masking the sky dome, watching as it descended with an aura of utter destruction, smashing into the ground!

Some human Spiritual Ability Users yelled, "It’s the Mad King! The Old Mad King has made a move!"

"Plan successful, humans will triumph!"

"Kill all these Insects!"

They cheered, leaped for joy, and fought against the Insect Swarm with even more vigor.

The intervention of the Old Mad King greatly bolstered their confidence.

Meanwhile, in the Battlefield of the Underground Maze, the Insect Master was shocked and furious, desperately mobilizing Spiritual Energy, trying to block or dodge the incoming attack.

And the human Spiritual Ability Users swiftly retreated.

Just in the next instant, the Mad King’s attack arrived, causing the entire Underground Maze to tremble; the giant Meteor pierced through hundreds of meters of earth, appearing directly above the Insect Master’s head!

"Hahaha, Mad King!!!" Seeing the three-pointed two-edged blade in an instant, the Insect Master suddenly laughed, "You..."

Then, a terrifying roar overshadowed all screams and struggles. A brilliant light illuminated everything, devouring the Insect Master’s eerie and beautiful form, erasing countless insects in its shine.

But humans couldn’t dwell on the surprise and instead ran frantically.

It was unknown whether it was the influence of Calamity or the inevitability of fate, but at that moment the maze began to collapse.

Countless boulders fell, smashing towards both insects and humans.

"Get to cover!"

"It’s collapsing!"

"The Mobius Ring has been removed!"

Amidst the terrifying roar, Li Yelai even couldn’t hear his teammates’ shouts, only seeing an immensely heavy rock wall collapse toward him.

"F*ck!" Li Yelai cursed loudly.

Then, he lost consciousness.

...

After an unknown amount of time, a gentle voice sounded in Li Yelai’s mind.

"Survive."

As this voice fell, Li Yelai’s scattered consciousness was forcefully pulled together.
