Great Ruins.
When Chen Xuan returned here, he had a different understanding.
He could clearly sense that a powerful aura of supreme beings lingered within these ruins.
That was the aura left behind by the Destroyer. Although nearly 500 million years have passed, the terrifying aura of the Supreme Dao still shrouds this area like a dark cloud.
Chen Xuan and Dugu Rou appeared at the very center of the Great Ruins, where there was a slowly rotating vortex.
This vortex is a giant black hole, generating a powerful tearing force.
Even at the edge, a god-level expert cannot get close; they would be torn to shreds by this powerful tearing force!
Within the vortex, the powerful tearing force was even capable of disintegrating the Great God Emperor's physical body.
That ruler of the Divine Court, the Five Elements Divine Emperor, was just a Divine Emperor. Could he still be alive?
"Huh, the power of this black hole seems to be weakening."
Dugu Rou, standing beside her, looked up and down at the slowly rotating black vortex, a look of surprise on her face.
She had been here before and felt the power of the vortex in its early stages, but now, returning, she felt it had weakened considerably.
“Every power has a period of decline. Nearly 500 million years have passed since this vortex was formed, so it is normal that it is not as strong as it was at the beginning.”
Chen Xuan spoke.
Whoosh!
The next moment, he stepped inside, and Dugu Rou followed closely behind.
As soon as he entered the vortex, Chen Xuan immediately felt a powerful squeezing force acting on him.
This state was as if someone was twisting Chen Xuan's body like a pretzel, trying to break it off alive.
If he were only at the God Emperor realm, his physical body might not be able to withstand the strain, and he might perish as a result.
But now that he is at the Great Emperor realm, this power has no effect on him, causing him no pain or discomfort.
This black vortex is a long passage.
That strangling force, like a spinning screwdriver, grows stronger and stronger as it goes deeper.
Of course, this still had no effect on Chen Xuan.
Soon, they finally entered the innermost part.
This is a dark space, so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your face. Light is swallowed up here, and there is not a single ray of light.
Of course, Chen Xuan, who possessed the laws of light and darkness, could see everything inside with just a glance.
He saw a swarm of insects that looked like wasps, a special kind of insect, densely packed like sand in the desert, stretching endlessly and countless in number.
Chen Xuan had seen this kind of insect in the Great Ruins when he was still in the Void God Realm.
Back then, when the foxes of Qingqiu from the Great Demon Heaven were chasing Qing Susu's younger brother Qing Sheng, Chen Xuan saved Qing Sheng. Later, when the foxes took revenge on him, Chen Xuan encountered a swarm of insects that had transformed into this densely packed insect.
Fortunately, he had already mastered the Yin-Yang principle by then, forming a Yin-Yang shield that protected himself and those around him.
Seeing the endless insect nests before him now made Chen Xuan realize that the insect swarm he had encountered last time was just a small one.
If these insects were to swarm out, Chen Xuan would probably have been devoured long ago, leaving not even a bone fragment.
"Um?"
Besides the dense swarm of insects, Chen Xuan also saw that at the center of these insects was a huge, heart-like fleshy ball.
This fleshy ball can breathe.
There is no special change when it inhales.
However, when it exhales, countless tiny pores on the fleshy ball spray out a black substance.
Upon closer inspection, these substances are found to be countless densely packed insect eggs.
"Is that the queen insect?"
Chen Xuan's eyes gleamed with a peculiar light. All the insect eggs were laid by that heart-like creature.
Afterward, the insect eggs hatch and turn into small black insects.
This insect looks somewhat like a wasp, but it's different. Each one is only the size of a little finger, and its wings are as thin as a cicada's wing.
Their mouths are all very sharp, and it's worth mentioning that a black needle is hidden in their rear end.
These needles are usually hidden at the end and not exposed, but once exposed, if they prick a person's skin, they can cause anything from mild rotting and pus discharge to severe rotting of large areas of flesh.
Their stingers are all highly poisonous!
"Wow, that bug has grown so big, and it's even become the queen."
Suddenly, Dugu Rou showed a look of surprise.
Her gaze was also fixed on the queen insect at the very center of the swarm, which resembled a heart. She looked on with surprise as she watched the queen insect continuously spewing out eggs.
"Do you know this insect?"
Chen Xuan asked in surprise.
"Of course I know. Didn't I tell you that I've been here before?" Dugu Rou nodded.
"Then what is the origin of this queen insect?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"It should be an insect from the God Realm. There is a supreme being in the God Realm called the Insect Sovereign, who can control all insects in the world. This Insect Queen should be its egg, which came here with the great hand that destroyed the Sovereign back then."
Dugu Rou explained.
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow and frowned, saying, "Since you knew these were eggs left here by the God Realm Insect Lord, why didn't you deal with them back then?"
Dugu Rou pursed her lips and said, "How do we solve this? That insect has the Great Dao mark left by the Destroyer protecting it."
"At that time, my younger brother was just a Great God Emperor, and I was just a God Emperor. The Eastern Emperor and the others were also just Great God Emperors. Even if they had the Supreme Great Dao Artifacts, they couldn't deal with it."
"Besides, back then, the Extinction Lord wiped out the three most talented and strongest people in our Yin-Yang Realm overnight. Everyone was worried that the Supreme God of the God Realm would retaliate again, so no one dared to make a move against this bug."
"That was the weakest and darkest time in the history of the Yin-Yang realm."
"Because we didn't deal with this insect at the time, we never expected that it would have now created its own nest and bred countless black insects."
According to Dugu Rou, everyone was afraid at the time and dared not provoke the queen insect left behind by the Destroyer.
It wasn't just the Supreme Mark on the Queen that was a concern.
What I'm even more worried about is the retaliation from the supreme being of the divine realm.
Now, almost 500 million years have passed.
This black hole space is boundless and vast, densely packed with the queen's eggs and the black insects that have already hatched.
Clearly, it has become a rampant problem.
The supreme being of the divine realm must have a plan for leaving such a queen insect here.
Over the years, the young people of the Yin-Yang Realm have grown and matured.
The Eastern Emperor is only one step away from the Supreme Realm!
