This left him feeling both shocked and furious.
Right now, these Soul-Eating Underworld Insects were his lifeline; losing even one would be a matter of life and death. As long as he could restore the power of these Soul-Eating Underworld Insects, he feared nothing from the flames of the Underworld, as long as they were not of emperor level.
How could his Soul-Eating Underworld Insects easily perish here? What exactly was this flame?
In his shock and fury, the skeleton continuously released unique divine soul fluctuations. With a loud boom, the countless Soul-Eating Underworld Insects that filled the entire hall suddenly went into a frenzy, transforming into a vast ocean of insects that surged back to the skeleton, forming a vortex of insects that resembled a hurricane.
“Kill!”
With a furious shout, countless insect whirlpools surged toward Qin Chen recklessly.
This time, the number of insects in this ocean was dozens of times more than what Qin Chen faced at the beginning, with a dense swarm of pitch-black underworld insects that seemed to obscure the very heavens and earth.
Seeing these underworld insects, Qin Chen was momentarily reminded of the time on the Tianwu Continent when he swept through it with little ant and little fire.
Now, little ant and little fire had been sleeping in the Chaotic World because they lacked sufficient nourishment to enter the transcendence realm.
After he killed the Evil Sovereign of Myriad Pests in the hall of the ghost king, Qin Chen had already nurtured little ant and little fire with the essence obtained from that battle, not expecting that after such a long time, he would encounter this so-called Emperor of Underworld Insects again.
Facing the vast swarm of pitch-black underworld insects, Qin Chen did not hesitate to push the Chaotic Azure Lotus Fire to its limit.
Boom!
Flames, blazing like an ocean, instantly spread out, enveloping the surroundings. Qin Chen's expression was cold as he pushed his spiritual sense to the extreme, and the Chaotic Azure Lotus Fire above his head erupted with a brilliance akin to that of a dazzling sun.
Zizz!
Countless Soul-Eating Underworld Insects immediately let out piercing screams, instantaneously scorched into endless ashes.
However, there were simply too many Soul-Eating Underworld Insects before him, continuously surging toward Qin Chen, yet under the terrifying flames, they were reduced to ashes, creating a unique path of insects that spread across the world.
Seeing this scene, the skeleton trembled in shock and anger, a trace of fear surging in his heart.
If this battle continued, all his Soul-Eating Underworld Insects would likely die without being able to breach the opponent's flame defense.
Thinking of this, the skeleton made up his mind and wanted to leave this place. He truly did not want to stubbornly struggle against Qin Chen here.
This young transcendent ghost cultivator of the third layer of transcendence was far too peculiar; not only did he see through his scheme at once, but he could also unleash his own domain here, exerting a certain level of suppression on him. More terrifyingly, the flames he unleashed had such a dreadful effect on his Soul-Eating Underworld Insects.
Boom!
The skeleton madly urged the countless Soul-Eating Underworld Insects around him while stepping forward. The pitch-black skeleton was illuminated by strange divine soul lights, and a unique spatial aura spread out, causing the surrounding void to slowly distort.
Qin Chen immediately sensed that the skeleton seemed to want to escape. However, he was blocked by these Soul-Eating Underworld Insects. Although these insects were no match for the Chaotic Azure Lotus Fire, the sheer number of them was overwhelming. Under the skeleton's control, the Soul-Eating Underworld Insects managed to hold on longer than anticipated.
Qin Chen appeared relaxed, but in reality, the consumption of using the Chaotic Azure Lotus Fire to eliminate these Soul-Eating Underworld Insects was immense. Seeing the skeleton about to escape, Qin Chen coldly smiled, “What’s this? You still claim to be the Emperor of Underworld Insects, yet a dignified emperor is so quick to flee? Hmph, even if you are truly an emperor, you must be an emperor who runs away.”
