Tens of thousands of mountains.
Within the Ancient Saint World, the Heaven Spirit Sect could only be considered as a small and insignificant sect.
As for the Grandmaster of the Heaven Spirit Sect, he was someone from the Spirit race who had ascended from the Lower World. Because of a miraculous encounter, he was saved by some powerful being from the Ancient race. Later on, he had some accomplishments in his cultivation. In order to give the Spirit race a place to settle down, he founded his own sect and founded the Heaven Spirit Sect.
There were countless Spirit race beings that were being reared by the Colossal Shark race. The final mission of the Heaven Spirit Sect was to rescue these Spirit race beings.
Because of that, every disciple would go there to save their fellow Spirit Race members after they reached a certain level of cultivation. However, this wasn't a compulsory mission, and there were no requirements. For the sect, if they could save as many as they could, then they would.
Over the past few hundred years, thousands of Spirit Clansmen had been rescued from that place. However, the number of Spirit Clansmen that had perished there was innumerable.
As one of the Ten Great Ancient Ferocious Beast Races, the Colossal Shark Race's strength was definitely not something they could compare to.
But today, the Heaven Spirit Sect was facing its greatest crisis in history.
On this day, the wind was gentle and the sun was bright. Within the tens of thousands of mountains, the disciples of the Heaven Spirit Sect were cultivating and resting as usual. But all of a sudden, a huge mountain suddenly rose up.
A crack suddenly opened up, and countless monsters emerged from it.
These monsters were not humanoid, but insectoid. They had many legs and heads, and their bodies were covered in heavy armor.
These armors were incomparably tough, and ordinary martial path mystiques were unable to cause any damage to them.
This was especially the case for the leader of the Insect race, who was incomparably formidable. Commanding the countless number of Insect race beings, even the Grandmaster of the Heaven Spirit Sect wasn't a match for him.
At this moment, outside of the Heaven Spirit Sect, the densely packed Insect race beings were squeaking out.
Against these Insect race beings, the disciples of the Heaven Spirit Sect had no way of fighting back at all. The abilities of these Insect race beings were extremely bizarre. If one were to come into contact with the poisonous mist, their entire bodies would rot away. Even if one's powers were extremely dense and formed an Astral Qi, they would still be unable to defend against it.
The Heaven Spirit Sect's Sect Master, Ling Tianzi, went to kill the leader of the Insect Race alone. However, one of his arms was bitten off tragically.
Ling Tianzi's cultivation state was that of a Divine celestial level 8 state. Therefore, he had long been able to regrow his limbs. However, there was a mysterious poison that was corroding away at the area where his limbs were severed. There was no way for him to regrow his limbs at all.
Furthermore, this poison was eating away at his powers continuously. If he did not defend against it, even his Universal Elixir would be eaten away.
"Creak …!"
Countless of gigantic Insect race beings that were the size of mountains surrounded the Heaven Spirit Sect.
At this moment, a bright barrier of light shrouded the entire Heaven Spirit Sect. This barrier of light rippled continuously, as though it could shatter at any moment.
This was the mountain protection formation of the Heaven Spirit Sect. But now, it couldn't hold on for much longer.
"I've already informed the disciples who are training outside not to return. Where did these demons come from? How could they be so strong?" Ling Tianzi's face was grim. There was no longer a single shred of hope in his heart.
Raising his head, he could see that each and every one of those demons were the size of a gigantic mountain. They were all horrifying existences.
"To think that there would be beings of the thousands of races out there who would dare to set up camp in the territory of our Insect race. This is just courting death!" A series of voices rang out. It was as though these Insect race beings were extremely familiar with the thousands of races out there.
"Grandmaster, what should we do now?" The elder of the Heaven Spirit Sect asked with a grim expression.
Those horrifying Insect race beings had caught them off guard, and they did not even have the time to react. By the time they did, most of their disciples had already died.
Now, they were trapped in the main hall, and the surrounding territory had already fallen into enemy hands.
Ling Tianzi did not reply. However, that grim expression of his spoke of everything.
Today, the Heaven Spirit Sect was most likely going to be destroyed. But, as long as the legacy remained, the spirit of the Heaven Spirit Sect would never disappear.
Ling Tianzi waved his hand, indicating for his disciples to make way. He then stood beneath the barrier and looked at these monsters, "Just what race are you guys from? Why are you guys striking out at our Heaven Spirit Sect?"
"Creak …!"
These Insect race beings did not reply. However, they were waving their feelers and letting out a chilling sound. At this moment, the Insect race beings who were blocking the entrance of the Heaven Spirit Sect made way. The Insect race being that had bitten off Ling Tianzi's arm appeared.
The body of this Insect race being wasn't all that huge. Standing upright between the Heaven and Earth, eight feelers were waving in the air. On that face of his, eight oily green eyes shone with a cruel glint.
"Creak … Spirit race … It's been tens of thousands of years since I've had a taste." The Insect Ancestor spoke in the human tongue. However, his voice was extremely cold and chilling.
"The taste of the Spirit race is something that Your Ancestor has been reminiscing about for a long time now. A long, long time ago, there was a being of the Spirit race who didn't know what was good for him and wanted to kill Your Insect Ancestor. But, it's a pity that he was devoured by Your Ancestor eventually."
"Oh? Your Ancestor still remembers that the name of that Spirit race being. He seemed to be called the Spirit King Emperor."
"Creak … The strength of that fella is way stronger than yours!"
The moment Ling Tianzi heard these words, his face froze up as he let out a look of shock, as though he could not believe it.
And at this moment, the Insect Ancestor continued speaking, "Oh, right. Your bloodline is extremely similar to that Spirit King Emperor. Could that Spirit King Emperor be your ancestor?"
"That's right. He must definitely be your ancestor."
"But, it's a pity that you don't even have half of the strength of your ancestor right now."
All of a sudden, the body of the Insect Ancestor changed. That ugly body of his disappeared instantly, turning into an extremely dignified middle-aged man.
"Ancestor …!"
When Ling Tianzi caught sight of this middle-aged man, he could not help but mutter out to himself. His face then changed. No, this wasn't the Ancestor!
"Creak … Your Ancestor has devoured countless living beings. Everything about them is within the memories of Your Ancestor.
That middle-aged man let out a sinister laugh before changing once more, turning back to that ugly body of his.
The Insect race was the most horrifying race in the Infinite Worlds. The Ancient Saint World had sealed up the Insect race so that they could not ascend.
Because of the bloodthirsty nature of the Insect race, their own territory was no longer able to satisfy them. Thereafter, they waged war against the Infinite Worlds and destroyed countless other races.
Now that the barrier had been opened, the Insect race had descended upon the Ancient Saint World and devoured the beings of the thousands of races with an absolutely formidable stance.
This was the agreement between the Insect race and the Ancient race.
The Infinite Worlds had opened up multiple times, and the Insect race had descended multiple times as well.
For the beings of the thousands of races, not only did they have to deal with the Heaven's Will of the Ancient race, they had to deal with that horrifying Insect race as well.
The Spirit King Emperor was a supreme powerful being of the previous time when the Infinite Worlds had opened up. However, he had fallen in the mouths of the Insect Ancestor as well.
"Living beings of the Spirit race, you can just surrender now. Do you really think that this barrier can protect you guys? What a fool's dream. "
A sharp feeler of the Insect Ancestor touched the barrier gently.
Creak!
Instantly, the barrier shattered, and the Heaven Spirit Sect was revealed entirely.
"How could this be?"
When Ling Tianzi caught sight of this, his heart skipped a beat. It was as though he could not believe everything that was happening right now.
