The Zerg battlefield, the void hall at the center of the Zerg Emperor-level Zerg hive complex.
Above the main hall, darkness enveloped the entire area. Only in the center of the void hall shone a bright beam of light, illuminating the surrounding Zerg.
This empty hall, surrounded by a mysterious blue light, felt both mysterious and eerie.
Insects don't need light because they've adapted to the dark.
At the top of the Void Palace, a faint green light emanates, serving as the life source for the insect emperor-level insect hive aggregate.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the center of the main hall, which was already deathly still, became even more oppressive.
The main source of the somber atmosphere was the multi-dimensional image in the center of the hall.
This multi-dimensional imagery does not affect the content being projected, regardless of the viewing angle; it's similar to the all-around 3D imagery of the Heavenly Cloud Emperor.
The multi-dimensional images showed the scene where Mo Tianyun, controlling the Miracle Mech, killed the Chief Councilor with a thunderous strike.
Seven insect emperors, each over a million kilometers long, occupied one side of the main hall.
The Insect Emperors are insects that are over a million kilometers long, enormous in size, and ever-changing in form, full of mystery and energy.
The first Zerg Emperor was called the Leech Emperor. It possessed enormous, pulsating wings that could create powerful void blades. Its head had dozens of tentacles, and its entire body was covered in a green shell that shimmered with a mysterious light.
The second Zerg Emperor is known as the Cockroach Emperor. It is enormous, spherical in shape, with a red shell covered in strange patterns. Its legs are strong and powerful, capable of supporting the entire weight of the Emperor. It has red wings on its back and a pair of huge horns on its head that radiate a ghostly green light, brighter than the light of a star, illuminating one side of the Void Palace.
The third insect emperor is called the Ephemeral Toad Emperor. Its entire body is surrounded by yellow light, and its head and wings shimmer with intense golden light. Its head has a pair of huge eyes, with a diameter of over 100,000 kilometers, containing endless compound eyes. Each eye seems to be able to captivate the soul and see through everything.
The fourth insect emperor is called the Fly Swarm Emperor. It also has huge and sturdy wings that can control the sky. However, its wings are not for flight; they are purely for defense. It can combine its wings into a huge shield-shaped shell to resist attacks.
Its body is covered with white down, each hair slowly wriggling and emitting a white luster. This white down is actually made of pure energy.
The fifth insect emperor is called the Snail Emperor. His whole body exudes a dark aura, making people feel gloomy and fearful.
Its body resembles a huge mass of black paint, tightly wrapped together. Its head has hundreds of millions of tentacles, each connected to the bottom of the Void Palace, capable of controlling the fate of the entire Insect Emperor-level Insect Nest Aggregate.
This is actually a supreme insectoid emperor, capable of commanding countless lower-level insectoids.
The sixth Zerg Emperor has a golden eye on its head, two long red horns on its head, a pair of huge blood-red wings on its back, four arms with incredibly sharp claws, eight huge legs, and a long, hooked tail on its rear. Its entire body is over two million kilometers long!
This Zerg Emperor is none other than the Flying Bug Emperor who invaded the northern part of the Empire.
Among the seven insectoid emperors in the Void Palace, it is the weakest. It was severely injured by Emperor Oron a few years ago and has only recently recovered from its injuries.
The last insect emperor is called the Qionglai Emperor. Its appearance is rather mysterious. It has no physical form, but its body is composed of clumps of floating purple energy. It can directly pass through the void and teleport to any place.
This insectoid race is quite peculiar, resembling the form of certain advanced life forms, specifically those called energy-based life forms.
Whenever the Zerg Emperor appears, it always means a terrible disaster, because nothing can withstand its power.
The most terrifying one is this last Zerg Emperor. The energy and spiritual power emanating from him are the strongest among all the Zerg Emperors. In addition, he has no physical form, making him even more difficult to deal with.
As silence fell over the Void Palace, the fifth Insect Emperor transmitted a mental wave: "The matter has occurred suddenly. I have summoned all of you from the Source Veins. I believe that after seeing the multidimensional images before you, you understand the thorny issue."
"According to the people we control, the person who killed the Chief of the Civilization Council of the Northern Libod Federation was a man who called himself the Heavenly Cloud Emperor."
"Emperor Tianyun was originally a member of the Oron Empire civilization. A few years ago, he killed Emperor Oron, successfully usurped the throne, took control of the entire civilization, and renamed the Oron Empire the Tianyun Empire. Later, he also subdued the Dylan Empire civilization, further strengthening the power of the Tianyun Empire."
"Judging from the results of the multi-dimensional image detection, Emperor Tianyun's strength is unfathomable. He could even easily kill all the Origin Veins present. He is a very troublesome existence!"
The last insect emperor, composed of peculiar purple energy, writhed. It had initially wanted to show off, but reason told it that Emperor Tianyun was not someone it could defeat.
"This person is a huge threat to us. With Emperor Tianyun around, we will not be able to take over the three star systems in the vicinity, and we will not be able to complete the mission assigned to us by the Great Venerable Yuanyu!"
The mental wave emitted by the Bug King contained only this much information. Although it was a long message, it could be received by all the Bug Kings in an instant by transmitting information through mental waves.
"I only know a little bit of detailed information about this Emperor Tianyun."
The second Zerg Emperor, also known as the Cockroach Emperor, immediately used psychic waves to transmit information to all Zerg Emperors.
The other six Zerg Emperors immediately turned their gazes to the Cockroach Emperor.
"Cockroach Emperor, tell us whatever you know! Any information we have is very useful!"
The fifth Zerg Emperor, also known as the Bug King, immediately responded.
"Rest assured, Emperor Bug and all of you from the Source Lineage, I will not hide anything from you, because this concerns our lives. I will tell you everything I know."
"Emperor Tianyun, his name is Mo Tianyun. About 7 years ago, he was just a beginner-level martial artist."
"Impossible! Seven years ago, you said that Emperor Tianyun was only a low-level martial artist?"
Immediately, the last insect emperor, the Cricket Emperor composed of purple energy, interrupted the Cockroach Emperor's mental waves.
The other Zerg Emperors thought the same thing. How could someone advance from a novice warrior to someone capable of easily killing them, the Zerg Emperors, in just seven years?
Those present are all insect emperors of the insect race who have existed for at least tens of thousands of years, and they are very clear about the range of their strength.
What can be accomplished in 7 years?
That's not enough for them to store even a little bit of life energy!
That's not how you joke around, and they don't really believe in the Cockroach Emperor's spiritual messages.
"Alright, don't interrupt the Cockroach Emperor. Let it finish speaking. You can ask any questions you have later!"
The Bug Emperor sent a mental message that silenced all the Bug Emperors.
Seeing this, the Cockroach Emperor continued to transmit his spiritual message:
"When I first learned about Mo Tianyun, it was six years ago. I was just as incredulous as you are now. Back then, Mo Tianyun's strength was far less formidable than it is now. I estimate that Mo Tianyun had the strength of a marshal back then."
Seven years ago, he was a beginner martial artist; six years ago, he was already at the commander level?!
This time, the other Zerg Emperors did not disturb them, but only thought about it in their hearts.
"In just one year, he has risen from a beginner-level martial artist to a commander-level strength. This is already incredible. I suspected that Mo Tianyun possessed technological items from a higher civilization that could rapidly enhance his strength. Therefore, I sent a subordinate with mid-level king-level strength to assassinate Mo Tianyun."
At this point, the other six Zerg Emperors also admitted from the bottom of their hearts that the Cockroach Emperor had not done anything wrong.
But why was Mo Tianyun able to survive? Couldn't a mid-level King-level expert assassinate Mo Tianyun, who was only a Commander-level expert?
With questions in mind, the other six Zerg Emperors continued to listen to the Cockroach Emperor's words.
"That subordinate was a complete idiot. First, he controlled the clone to use the miniature devouring wormhole I gave it to strangle Mo Tianyun, which obviously failed. Then he used spatial teleportation to send Mo Tianyun to him, but Mo Tianyun's teacher saved him, and the assassination failed."
"Later, according to information obtained by our undercover agents, Mo Tianyun's martial arts spirit withered, so I stopped paying attention to him. Now that I think about it, I really regret it!"
The Cockroach Emperor angrily pounded on the void palace, causing the entire insect emperor-level insect hive to tremble violently.
"Oh! Mo Tianyun, I feel like I've seen him before!"
"At the time, I was attacking the northern part of their Oron Empire. That's when I saw an extremely fast combat mech, so fast that I couldn't catch up with it!"
Emperor Feimo quickly transmitted a mental wave.
"Enough with the nonsense. Now that things have come to this, let's make a decision as soon as possible on how to deal with Emperor Tianyun!"
The Great Emperor Qiong was a bit irritable.
"Judging from the performance in this war, the Tianyun Empire civilization has at least four star system level powerhouses. The first one is the Tianyun Emperor, without a doubt. There is also a blue and white combat mech and a purple combat mech, which are the second and third star system level powerhouses, respectively. Finally, there is that huge fiery red star beast, which I suspect is a source beast!"
"I am the King of Snails," the snail said, looking at the multi-dimensional images.
Upon hearing this, the other six Zerg Emperors almost couldn't sit still, staring intently at the blazing sun in the multidimensional image.
"You...you said it's...a Source Beast?"
The purple energy body of the Great Emperor Qiongyan trembled, as if it had seen something terrifying.
"If it is a true Source Beast, even if it has not yet evolved into a true Source Beast, it is still an existence that we cannot defeat!"
"Yes, it couldn't possibly be a Source Beast. It's probably just an ordinary Level 7 Star Beast. Source Beasts are very rare; there are only a few in a single supercluster. How could we possibly encounter one here?"
"That's right. Source beasts are all extremely warlike. Judging from its appearance, it seems to be very obedient to Emperor Tianyun. Even if Emperor Tianyun is powerful, how could he so easily subdue a source beast?"
The Zerg Emperors communicated using mental fluctuations.
Why are there so many strange things happening?
First is Emperor Tianyun. His speed of improvement is astonishing, and his strength is so great that he might be able to easily kill them.
Secondly, the Tianyun Empire actually had at least four star system-level powerhouses on its side during the war!
This number is also astonishing. Originally, there were only 4 star system level experts in the three star systems in this area combined. The Northern Libod Federation had the most, with two star system level experts.
But now, for some reason, the Tianyun Empire has gained another galaxy-level powerhouse. Together with the former Dylan Empire's King Dylan, there are now two more galaxy-level powerhouses.
Finally, what surprised them was the existence of Lieyang, who might be a source beast.
"Fellow lineage members, I propose that this matter be reported to the Great Venerable Yuanyu, and let the lineage leader make the decision!"
The Snail Emperor then transmitted the information using mental waves.
"You mean you want the sect leader to take action personally?"
"Yes, Emperor Tianyun definitely possesses advanced technological artifacts from a high-level civilization, making him a very troublesome figure. Coupled with an uncertain source beast, these two factors are enough to warrant the attention of the clan leader!"
Emperor Bug couldn't help but recall its purpose in coming here. Wasn't it to take over the Tianyun Galaxy, the Dylan Galaxy, and the Beili Galaxy, compress and pack all their energy and matter back to support the Pulse Master's final war against the Canglan Galaxy Cluster, and take down the Canglan Galaxy Cluster in one fell swoop?
Originally, the Insect Emperor-level Insect Nest Consortium only had four Insect Emperors: the Flying Bug Emperor, the Cockroach Emperor, the Leech Emperor, and the Toad Emperor. They fought against the three major star system civilizations for over a thousand years, yet they still failed to defeat them.
Therefore, the Great Venerable Yuanyu, who is currently the leader of the insectoid branch attacking the Canglan Star Cluster, dispatched the Great Emperor Qiongyu, the Great Emperor Sili, and the Great Emperor Yingwu to descend upon this insectoid emperor-level insect hive through the star cluster-level void gate.
Then, in one fell swoop, the Oron Empire Civilization, the Northern Libod Federation Civilization, and the Dylan Empire Civilization were wiped out, and all the material and energy of the star systems where these three star systems were located were transferred back to cultivate more powerful insectoids and launch a final attack on the Azure Sky Star Cluster.
Unexpectedly, the situation in the three star systems has changed drastically in the past few years. Mo Tianyun has risen rapidly, unified the three star system civilizations, and completely disrupted the Zerg's plans!
A vast expanse of space.
A Zerg hive larger than a galaxy is firmly rooted in the void.
The insectoid empire-level hives near the three major star systems are like shrimp compared to a big fish in front of this insectoid hive.
This is the void palace of the Zerg hive.
Hundreds and thousands of Zerg Emperors were neatly arranged on the left and right sides of the Void Hall, while a Zerg branch leader was entrenched in the center.
Its body is many times larger than that of the Zerg Emperor, its surface is covered with mysterious symbols of ever-changing shapes, its entire body is black, and it is surrounded by clouds of black energy smoke, which can be released at will and cover a huge area of tens of thousands of light-years.
"The Heavenly Cloud Emperor? A spatial artifact from a highly advanced civilization? A Source Beast? Interesting. I never expected to see a Source Beast in a place like this. I'll go and take a look myself."
P.S.: This is a combination of two chapters, so there are three chapters updated today.
I don't know why, but the more I update, the fewer people urge me to update.
I can't even get one or two free gifts, which makes me not want to update anymore.
Then I'll speed up the plot a bit.
The moon will appear tomorrow.
