Chapter 1822 - 78: An Unexpected Visitor
"What’s going on? Is someone coming?"
The sudden change startled Zhang Xiaoman.
Although he was still somewhat behind the true Extraordinary Level, the gap wasn’t huge anymore, merely a matter of the ceiling of his spiritual power.
In the words of this world’s inhabitants, he could be considered a "Demigod" now.
Yet, with his current strength, he distinctly felt a pressure so overwhelming it caused his spiritual power to stagnate within his body, which was quite terrifying.
Even when previously facing the Rothschild family’s two ancestors, Zhang Xiaoman hadn’t experienced this kind of spiritual power stagnation, not even against Blue White Clothes.
Affecting the spiritual power operation inside a person’s body is far more complex than merely suppressing an opponent, and could only happen when there was a tremendous gap in levels.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t know who exactly had arrived, to make him feel this way; could it be an existence even stronger than Blue White Clothes?
At this moment, he wasn’t the only one affected; whether the family powers of those fleets, or the people around him like Zi Kuang, Yeluo, and even those of the Extraordinary Level like Blue White Clothes, all more or less felt this suppressive effect.
"This feeling... could it be..."
Zi Kuang showed a surprised expression.
Blue White Clothes also slightly frowned, his expression becoming extremely solemn, mumbling:
"A very familiar feeling, could it be that those things have come...?"
Zhang Xiaoman seemed to have realized something, and two words suddenly sprang into his mind.
"Insect Domain!"
To achieve this kind of spiritual power suppression, apart from vastly overpowering the opponent, there were other ways, among which the one affecting the largest scope was the Desert Worm Clan’s Insect Domain.
The Insect Domain is a remarkable thing; it’s intangible, invisible, untouchable, and even its spiritual power operation is unobservable, much like the "force" often spoken of in martial arts novels, elusive yet truly existent.
Zhang Xiaoman had witnessed the Insect Domain once in the First Universe; it automatically formed when a certain number of Desert Worms gathered, and its power varied according to the size of the insect swarm.
Back in the Phantom Spirit Clan, the Insect Domain he encountered was of lower level, not greatly affecting him.
Yet he remembered that sensation, and now comparing it with the current situation, he quickly understood what he and others were facing.
"It’s Desert Worms! The Desert Worms have arrived!!"
Meanwhile, someone within the fleet couldn’t help but exclaim in a voice filled with irrepressible fear.
Everyone present tacitly halted their fight; no matter how fierce the previous battle was, with the Insect Domain’s arrival, they all chose a temporary ceasefire.
"Even I am affected; it seems the insect swarm must be quite large, possibly reaching Level 7..."
Blue White Clothes locked his brows, eyes fixed on the direction of the Insect Domain, and after sensing for a moment, he uttered something that greatly shocked Zhang Xiaoman.
"It’s a peak Level 7 supermassive insect swarm, with a Peak Lower God Insect Queen presiding over it, utilizing the Insect Domain to completely envelop us here. This battle will likely be perilous..."
He then glanced at the other people present, saying:
"This swarm is quite troublesome, and I cannot guarantee victory. I need to return to the Lan Family Fleet to prepare; you may follow me."
He finished speaking, initiated his spiritual power form, and activated Dark Speed, transforming into a blue stream of light as he flew back toward the direction of the fleet.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman was somewhat stunned; he hadn’t expected the most formidable Blue White Clothes present to say such words.
Knowing that this person had once been hailed as the Invincible God King, a Peak Lower God’s strength was virtually invincible in this world. It was surprising to hear such words as "will be perilous" spoken here.
To hear the word "perilous" from Blue White Clothes was enough to demonstrate the prowess of the insect swarm before them.
Now, seeing the opponent directly return to the fleet, saying he needs to prepare, implying recovery of spiritual power, once again made Zhang Xiaoman feel the pressure.
If Blue White Clothes must prepare and recover his status, what about himself?
Is a Level 7 insect swarm truly so terrifying?
Not necessarily. The swarm’s scale may be Level 7, but the danger levels between different Level 7 insect swarms vary. This is akin to the disparity in strength between Zi Kuang and Blue White Clothes.
However, Blue White Clothes has already said before departing that they’re facing a supermassive Level 7 insect swarm, indicating the swarm is at least four to five times larger than the standard Level 7 scale, possibly formed by the fusion of several Level 7 swarms.
Moreover, with the presence of a Peak Lower God Insect Queen, just this battle strength is enough to make everyone uneasy.
Fortunately, based on Zhang Xiaoman’s sensing, his Unlimited Teleportation can still be used. An Ultimate Item is an Ultimate Item; even against the oppressive force of a supermassive Level 7 Insect Domain, which seals the surrounding space causing many warships to lose power completely, like ordinary machinery encountering Dark Spiritual Power interference, unable to operate at all, merely turning into lumps of useless metal, yet the use of Unlimited Teleportation remains unaffected. Zhang Xiaoman can use teleportation anytime and anywhere to leave, avoiding the potential of being trapped to death inside the Insect Domain.
