Chapter 940 The Unexpected Change of the God Devourer Insect

The moth king was entirely silver unlike the others and exuded the power and majesty of a king.

Additionally, it had mastered secret spirit arts and could transform sonic attacks into various mysterious powers. 

If Miss Le did not have the string of purple bells to restrain its powers, she could have been killed already. 

Even so, her current situation did not look too optimistic.

The power of the Moth King was too terrifying. The sound waves crushed the space like real waves, and silver light flooded the area. 

“Everything depends on you all. If you grasp this chance, you can break through to the next level. This is a rare opportunity...” muttered Lin Xun. 

At the same time, a God Devourer Insect that Lin Xun kept in his mind-sea with the Astral Insect Command Art was waking up from slumber. Upon hearing Lin Xun’s order the grain-sized insects cheered with excitement one after another. 

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Within seconds, they silently sped across the air, rushing towards the moth king that Miss Le was facing off in the distance. 

Lin Xun’s spirit sense was focused on the God Devourer Insect, and he noticed that the Moth King seemed to be panicking and letting out a sharp hiss.

“God Devourer Insect! Damn it! You...haven’t you all gone extinct!?” another enraged roar came from Moth King. 

As though it was extremely terrified, it gave up on destroying Miss Le and fled away in a hurry.

Miss Le stood in the same place in bewilderment. 

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was also a little surprised. He didn’t think that the moth king would flee in terror without a fight in the face of the God-Devourer Insects that were only still considered larvae. 

The God-Devourer Insect was the natural enemy of the Phantom Winged Spirit Moth!

Lin Xun let the nine insects chase down and kill the moth king, while he continued to slaughter the other Phantom Winged Spirit Moths.

The situation began to change. After the moth king fled, the overpowering army seemed to have lost its order and control without the leader. 

This massively lessened the pressure on Kou Xing and the others, but also left them a little confused. What’s going on with the mighty army of Phantom Winged Spirit Moths?

Miss Le had already returned to the ship. She continued to control the purple bell to help Lin Xun and the others to kill the Phantom Winged Spirit Moths.

Soon, the great army began to lose its momentum after groups and after groups of moths were slaughtered.  

Kou Xing and the other explorers cheered and applauded. They had already been feeling despair, but who would have thought that their situation would be reversed? After this turn of events, they saw a glimmer of hope of surviving. 

Lin Xun also heaved a sigh of relief. If I knew this would happen, then I would have sent the God Devourer Insects to kill the moth king earlier and that would have saved us a lot of trouble. 

Miss Le’s grave expression also eased. She thoughtfully stared at Lin Xun who was not far away and murmured, “I didn’t expect there to still be God-Devourer Insects in this world. But thanks to them, we were able to avert the disaster...”

“Miss, have you also heard of God Devourer Insects before?” Lin Xun asked in surprise.

“They are one of the top ten mysterious insects in ancient times. They can devour the spirit of real saints. How would I not know about such terrifying creatures?” Miss Le said softly, “But, from what I know, the God-Devourer Insects are the guardians of the Astral Imperial Clan in ancient times. They had become extinct in ancient times, so I never thought that I could see one today.”

Lin Xun exclaimed in his mind, This seemingly sickly girl knows a lot of secrets. She even knows about the Astral Imperial Clan. This is very unusual.

Who could she be?

“Young Master, may I ask if you raised those God Devourer Insects?” Miss Le asked all of a sudden. 

“That's right,” Lin Xun answered calmly. He knew that he could not hide the truth from her and that any cover-up would make her suspicious of him. 

“I see.” Miss Le nodded, but she didn’t probe further. She was very intelligent, and so she could tell right away that Lin Xun didn’t want to talk about it.

“Young Master, those insects are extremely vicious. If you don’t raise them properly, they can easily turn their backs on you. Please be careful,” she reminded him.

This fact alone proved that Miss Le was very familiar with the God Devourer Insects despite never seeing one before!

“Thank you.” Lin Xun was more and more convinced that she had an extraordinary background.

Miss Le looked at Lin Xin and was taken aback by his calmness. She chuckled, seemingly realizing something. “It seems that I was worrying too much. Young Master, it seems like you have an unusual relationship with the Astral Imperial Clan and have already mastered a unique art to raise those insects.”

Lin Xun never thought that her insight would be so sharp. She was able to guess the truth without him even saying anything!

But even now, he could not identify the background and origin of this girl. He couldn’t help but become wary of her.

“Young Master, although we haven’t met before, we are on the same boat now. This is fate. I have no malice towards you, so you shouldn’t worry.”

Undeniably, Miss Le was extremely intelligent. As though she read Lin Xun’s mind, she explained to him in the most sincere voice, “After we resolved the danger ahead, I would be more than happy to chat with you.”

Lin Xun smiled and nodded. 

The girl was frank, but Lin Xun had to admit that she was the most intelligent woman he had ever met.

……

Half an hour later, the battle came to an end.

In the end, without a leader, the Phantom Winged Spirit Moth army broke down and vanished into the depths of the vast river. 

Kou Xing, Green Face, Scarlet Silk and the others all felt a weight come off of them as if they had just escaped death. 

In this battle, although their bodies were unwounded, their spirits suffered a significant impact. 

Adding to that, two of their comrades had unfortunately died. Casualties were inevitable in such a perilous situation. 

If Lin Xun and Miss Le hadn’t been there, then they could have all met with calamity!

“We were only able to escape the jaws of danger thanks to the help of you two. I will never forget your kindness,” Kou Xing expressed his gratitude and gave a cupped fist salute. 

Everyone did the same. Their gazes also completely changed when they looked at Lin Xun. 

Lin Xun’s invincible stance in the battle had too tremendous of a shock and impact on them.

They were all ruthless and fierce characters who licked blood from the blade all year round. They had a wealth of experience, and so they knew that Lin Xun couldn’t be just a simple young master. But they didn’t expose him or question him.  

They understood that Lin Xun might want to keep his identity hidden because of some secrets. If that was the case, it would be inappropriate for them to ask further. 

“Young Master, would you like to have a drink with me now?” Not long after that, Miss Le made an invitation to Lin Xun. 

“I’m more than happy to.” Lin Xun agreed with a smile. He was also curious about what kind of person the girl was.

The two came to a room on the ship.

Kou Xing and the others got busy. 

Although the threat of the Phantom Winged Spirit Moths had been eliminated, no one dared to let down their guards on the dangerous boundary river. 

As they moved closer and closer to the depths, the dangers they encountered also became increasingly terrifying. 

……

Hundreds of miles away from the ship, the river was churning and the gray fog was rising rapidly, submerging the sky and the earth, making the area look more ominous. 

In the depths of the gray fog, a pile of bones resembling a beehive emerged, followed by a shrill hiss.  

It was the moth king with shining silver wings, but it was firmly suppressed by the nine God-Devourer Insects, who were nibbling on its body. 

No matter how hard it resisted, it still failed to break free. It became more and more terrifying, irritable, and desperate. 

Within seconds, the moth king was completely devoured.

The nine God Devourer Insects were glowing brightly, their grain-like bodies producing an unusual black light before they split apart inch by inch. 

Crack!

In the end, they transformed. They shed their shells and became a silvery white shade, but they were even smaller than before, as inconspicuous as a single sesame seed.

But upon a close look, their bodies were flawless and perfect, emitting a strange sacred silvery luster. 

It was the second stage of the God Devourer Insect’s evolution!

At this stage, the God Devouring Insects looked as if they had been reborn from the ashes. They could easily devour the spirit of a Cyclic Derivation cultivator and perhaps even a half-step king. 

However…

After the transformation was completed, an even more astonishing change happened!

One of the God Devourer Insects suddenly rushed towards one of its comrades on the other side and, with a powerful and domineering stance, swallowed the comrade whole in an instant!

At the same time, the other God Devourer Insects moved uneasily, wanting to escape. 

But after the God-Devourer Insect that launched the attack made a strange cry, the others cowered in terror as if they submitted to fate

Then, one after another, all of the insects were devoured and only one remained!

It was still around the size of a sesame seed, and its appearance seemingly hadn’t changed, but the color of its body was much deeper and it produced a silvery metal-like sheen. It had an indescribable majestic air around it like a young insect king of extraordinary talent!

It stood still like it was wavering about something.  

Meanwhile, Lin Xun, who just sat down to talk with Miss Le, frowned with an overcast face. A fluctuation in his mind-sea made him instantly understand what happened to the nine God-Devourer Insects.

“Come back!” He issued a firm order with his spirit sense. 

The remaining God-Devourer Insect hesitated, looking irritable. 

“Don’t forget who helped you transform to this level and gave you the potential to become an insect king. If you leave, I will make you pay for this betrayal!” Lin Xun warned coldly.
