Chapter 4999: **Fish Dies, Net Breaks** 🐟

Published: January 17, 2025

“Muli Kala, you traitor.”

The Heavenly Eye Insect Emperor let out a piercing roar, then looked at Qin Chen and shouted, “Kid, if you kill me, my Insect Tribe won’t let you off... I...”

“At this point, you’re still threatening me? You’ve lived long enough to have become a dog!”

Qin Chen was too lazy to waste words. With a direct activation of the divine emperor totem power, a loud boom erupted as the sword light exploded, directly shattering the fortress where the Heavenly Eye Insect Emperor resided.

“Ah!”

Amidst the shrill cries, this ancient fortress was obliterated, releasing an astonishing power of the ancient pinnacle supreme. The Heavenly Eye Insect Emperor’s spirit was immediately shattered.

With a rumble, the cosmic heavenly dao manifested, revealing a sense of joy as the power of the great path surged between heaven and earth.

Qin Chen looked up at the sky and suddenly had an epiphany.

He understood why the universe was heading towards its end.

It was all because those who should have perished long ago were clinging to life, unwilling to die, continuously draining the origin of the universe, leading to the gradual weakening of this universe.

No matter how vast the universe is, its primordial power ultimately has a limit, and there is a limit to the powerful beings that can be born.

However, in the countless epochs of the universe, each era would give rise to top-level warriors.

Originally, the competition among ten thousand clans, the struggle between life and death, and the cycle of yin and yang were the truths of heaven and earth.

When the strong fall, their origins return to the universe, strengthening its primordial power, and when the primordial power of the universe grows stronger, naturally, more powerful beings will be born.

This cycle has continued through generations.

That is the heavenly dao.

But for billions of years, although countless powerful beings from ten thousand clans have fallen, there have always been some supreme warriors who became the ones that slipped through the net. They have stolen from the yin and yang, robbed time, sealed themselves away, becoming ageless beings.

As a result, their origins will not return to heaven and earth.

This has also led to the power of the universe's origin continuously being absorbed without replenishment over numerous epochs.

Ultimately, it has entered a cycle of apocalypse.

In fact, if it weren’t for these top-tier warriors stealing from the yin and yang, monopolizing the powers of the universe, this universe’s lifespan would undoubtedly be much longer than it is now.

Boom! At this moment, with the fall of the Heavenly Eye Insect Emperor, the origin of this universe cheered, the heavenly dao emerged, and the heavens and earth rumbled, as if celebrating.

Whoosh! The Mysterious Rusty Sword flashed back into Qin Chen’s hand. He looked at the insect realm below, solid as a fortress, and frowned slightly.

The Insect Tribe was indeed cautious; they actually abandoned one of their ancestor masters for self-preservation. Otherwise, if Qin Chen had been given a little more time, he would have been able to enter the insect realm and wreak havoc.

“The so-called Heavenly Eye Insect Emperor is nothing but this; it’s no wonder the Insect Tribe has fallen to this state, reduced to being the lackey of the Demon Tribe.”

Outside the insect realm, Carefree Supreme spoke coldly, his gaze indifferent as he looked down at the Insect Tribe, high and mighty, filled with endless disdain. “Surrender obediently and hand over the entire insect realm; your Insect Tribe might have a slim chance of survival. Otherwise, this place will become your grave.”

Carefree Supreme snorted coldly and stepped forward. With a rumble, the heavens and earth outside the insect realm shook violently, as the Desolate Sky Tower floated in the sky, dropping strands of chaos aura to suppress the ages.

Within the insect realm, countless insect tribe warriors looked in fear at Carefree Supreme and Qin Chen outside, their eyes filled with despair.
