Chapter 784
Sweeping Away the Trap
Zerg planet coordinates!
The two venerable ones exchanged a glance, and then both saw the doubt and surprise in each other's eyes.
What is this going to do?
Could it be that they intend to completely wipe out the Zerg?
However, the two immediately put aside their suspicions and agreed in their hearts.
After all, that Zerg planet was definitely a menace to them, and they would inevitably have to eliminate it.
However, their injuries are already very serious, and they probably won't be able to do anything in the short term.
Right now, if Jiang Shu were to go to that planet, it would naturally be excellent for them.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two immediately handed over the coordinates of that insectoid planet to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu nodded slightly.
"You two should rest for now, since your injuries are quite severe. I'll be right back."
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Shu walked out of the palace and soon saw Zhan Feng, who was deliberately hiding outside.
"How about it?"
"it's complicated."
Jiang Shu shook his head helplessly, and then quickly shared what he had just learned with the other party.
"Five sages, one from each clan, there's actually a limit to the number."
Zhan Feng was also amazed by what he heard.
"So, you're planning to visit that insectoid planet?"
"Yes, I think we can find records related to the Zerg there."
Jiang Shu spoke up, explaining that he had previously killed the Star Shattering King Insect and several Venerable Insects in order to establish his authority and demonstrate his combat power.
Right now we need intelligence, so we still need to make a trip to the Zerg planet.
"Hey bro, wanna come with me?"
Zhan Feng patted his chest and asked.
"That won't be necessary. The three Venerables here are either injured or crippled. You should stay here and guard the place, just in case."
Jiang Shu highly acknowledged Zhan Feng's combat prowess.
Although the other party has only recently become a Venerable, the foundation he accumulated in the previous realm is too thick. Moreover, he is the young leader of the Battle Alliance and has no shortage of various cultivation techniques and great arts. He can be regarded as one of the best in the early stage of Venerable.
After giving a few instructions, Jiang Shu took a step forward, teleported through space, and immediately returned to the outside of the planet.
Within this microcosm, traversing the sea of stars is incredibly difficult; one must possess the cultivation of the laws of time and space to locate oneself.
Otherwise, a lack of mastery of the laws of space will cause spatial disorder, and a lack of mastery of the laws of time will cause temporal disorder.
And the navigator is an indispensable existence, unless one's cultivation level is high enough.
In a short while, Jiang Shu jumped through space to that subspace and entered it, immediately feeling the disorder of spacetime.
Jiang Shu used the two laws to stabilize himself, and then slowly headed towards the coordinates.
After spending nearly several hours crossing subspace, Jiang Shu stopped and saw countless giant insects rushing away.
The leading giant worm had a body that resembled a reptile, covered with nearly a hundred circular segments, while a tentacle slowly extended from its head.
At the tip of these tentacles, a faint light ripples, just like a lantern.
The lantern, however, emitted a halo that slightly stabilized the surrounding time and space.
"The Zerg's Navigator?"
Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, then reached out his hand.
In an instant, a surging wave rose up in this subspace.
If the spacetime disorder in the subspace is just the ebb and flow of the ocean, then Jiang Shu's quiet move now is undoubtedly stirring up a raging torrent!
"Let me see what methods this leader has."
Jiang Shu crossed his arms and waited coldly.
According to the two venerable ones, navigators cannot be trained; only those with innate talent can become navigators.
Now that he has come across a Zerg leader, Jiang Shu naturally wants to give it a try!
Sure enough, just as he quietly stirred up the tide of time, the tips of the tentacles on the Zerg Navigator's head suddenly shone brightly!
In the blink of an eye, within the edge of the light's reach, a Dao Lord-level insectoid with six bladed arms, several meters tall, and its entire body covered in bluish-black light, was instantly shredded by the invisible space.
The upper half of the body remained in place, with blood and twisted internal organs continuously gushing from the chest and abdomen.
Thousands of meters away, the lower half of the body appeared out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, it was shredded into pieces by space.
Not just that one, but the other giant insects that were far from the Zerg leader were immediately pulverized by space.
Time itself began to go awry; the insects that had been walking ahead suddenly appeared behind, as if time had reversed.
The rate of light flow varied in different parts of the body of some insects.
Just when this Zerg team was about to collapse, a turning point occurred.
The Zerg navigator's head suddenly emitted a mysterious light, and the surrounding spacetime waves seemed to calm down. They still existed, but were gradually soothed.
Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes, observing everything, and then raised his hand and pointed.
In an instant, the tide of time surged once more, this time swallowing up nearly half of the Zerg army.
In the blink of an eye, the other insects also darted towards the navigator.
The navigator's body suddenly withered, but the antennae on its head shone even brighter, as if it had squeezed out most of its body's strength, shining as brightly as a blazing sun.
Layer upon layer of invisible halos rippled outwards, constantly calming the surging tides of time.
Jiang Shu silently observed all of this and nodded in approval.
"So, the role of the navigator is to smooth out time and space and locate coordinates?"
Jiang Shu took a step and appeared not far from that Zerg team.
In the warp, a human suddenly appeared, and the large number of Zerg forces immediately became alert, unleashing countless ranged attacks.
However, those rippling attacks of law melted away without a trace before they even got close to Jiang Shu!
"Is this all the trick you've got? You think you can force me to back down?"
Jiang Shu chuckled and flicked his finger, instantly shattering the bodies of the numerous Zerg in front of him, leaving only the weakened Navigator.
"Take it back and study it."
Jiang Shu sealed it away and then stuffed it into his own chaotic space.
He couldn't easily take action against the Terran leader, but it was naturally no problem against the Zerg.
After dealing with that Zerg team, Jiang Shu quickly moved forward and left the warp.
"Oh? That's definitely Zerg style."
Jiang Shu gazed into the distance and sighed inwardly.
In the distance lay a planetary system, at the center of which a bright, blazing star radiated light and heat. Around it, six planets, each a different color, were densely packed together. Yet, on the surfaces of these planets, and even at the edges of the star, were vibrant, multicolored lights. Jiang Shu glanced at them and realized that these mottled, multicolored lights were not a normal phenomenon; countless swarms of insects densely covered the planets.
The insects are constantly devouring the planet, and there are even swarms of insects on the sun that specialize in absorbing energy.
Jiang Shu crossed his arms and couldn't help but recall a term he had once heard—planetary ranch.
Generally, planets that fall into the hands of the Zerg will be used as Zerg hives to breed Zerg swarms unless there are special circumstances.
After all, every planet has a vast amount of energy and matter.
Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes, thinking that if he were to kill these insects himself, it would certainly take a lot of time.
He had no interest in wasting time on these insects.
"First, find someone with wisdom and interrogate them thoroughly."
A beam of light rose from Jiang Shu's body, instantly concealing him, and he headed towards one of the planets.
As soon as they got close, the scene before them suddenly became clear: countless insects gathered in a dense swarm, enough to terrify any mortal.
Jiang Shu's gaze shifted slightly, and his aura spread outwards in all directions.
"found it……"
Jiang Shu raised the corners of his mouth slightly; he had clearly discovered a venerable figure.
The Zerg and Mechs share many similarities, such as being centered around a Queen or Mother, but they also have many differences, such as most Zerg being mindless tools.
Jiang Shu locked onto that Venerable One and, in an instant, used the laws of space to arrive at an insect nest.
This is a cave, deep and dark, with only a few scattered, glowing insects providing illumination.
The stone walls, the ground, and even the ceiling were covered with countless insects. As Jiang Shu appeared, the insects immediately surged towards him like a tidal wave, as if they were delighted to have food.
"Humph……"
Jiang Shu chuckled softly and flicked his finger slightly.
boom!
In an instant, the insect nest shook violently, and countless divine fires surged from his body like a torrent, instantly beginning to scorch the insects.
The flames continued to spread, erupting violently, and in an instant, a large amount of ash appeared.
Not only that, the crimson flames continued to sweep into the interior of the insect chamber, forcibly clearing a path for Jiang Shuqing!
Jiang Shu strolled forward with an elegant and composed demeanor, as if he were not an unwelcome guest, but rather a long-time friend of the host.
A moment later, the deep voice suddenly rang out from inside.
"Humans? How did you come to my territory? Didn't Shattered Star already attack your planet?"
"Oh? Is Shattered Star that the mid-stage Venerable insect?"
Jiang Shu crossed his arms and smiled as he spoke.
A sharp sound echoed throughout the entire lair, sweeping across all directions, and in that instant, a terrifying black shadow suddenly burst out from the depths of the cave.
The ordinary sweeping divine fire immediately disappeared from his body, and a damp feeling appeared around him.
Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow and then laughed, "Sure enough, insects like to stay in cold and damp places. Get out here."
He immediately reached out, and an invisible, terrifying force spread outwards, as if a hand had suddenly seized the dark figure.
boom!
In an instant, the surging waters suddenly froze, transforming into icy blades brimming with murderous intent.
clang clang...
Countless ice blades shattered instantly, and Jiang Shu strode forward, finally seeing the appearance of the insect.
"It's a spider, no wonder."
Jiang Shu crossed his arms and said, "It seems you know quite a bit. I wonder, can you sense the presence of the Great Devourer?"
"The Devourer..."
The giant insect murmured softly, then spoke, "Human, why do you ask my queen?"
The shrill voice coalesced into human speech, as if demanding an answer. Jiang Shu smiled nonchalantly and then said, "I want to verify whether your Zerg's Great Devourer is dead?"
In a sense, all the Zerg have a mysterious connection with the Queen.
Otherwise, how could countless mindless Zerg gather together instead of killing each other?
The giant spider was silent for a moment, as if it were pondering something, before speaking: "You want to use this to deduce the whereabouts of your human race's Universal Sage?"
"She's quite clever."
Jiang Shu nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Indeed, you guessed correctly. I wonder where that Empress is now?"
"do not know……"
A deep voice came from the giant insect's mouth, "Since I gained intelligence, I have only been able to sense the presence of the Queen Mother. We have sent navigators to search for her, but she is too far away, and she has not returned yet."
"Oh?"
Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, raised his hand to support his chin, and fell into deep thought.
The spider lord did not attack at this moment, as if it was waiting for something.
However, after only a moment, Jiang Shu laughed heartily: "If you can't figure it out, come out. It won't be in vain that I've been waiting for you for so long."
boom!
In that instant, the top of the insect nest suddenly cracked open, countless cracks spread, and then it collapsed abruptly.
Light shone down from above, and there were countless eyes watching.
A massive swarm of Zerg has already gathered, and among them are these two Zerg venerables.
"There are so many Venerable Ones in this small star system, it's quite lively."
Jiang Shu shook his head.
He had been waiting here for so long, wasting time with that spider lord, just to wait for the other insectoid lords to teleport over.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be too troublesome for him to go and find them one by one?
"Human race, where is Venerable Shattered Star now?"
That was the first thing one of the two Zerg leaders who appeared later spoke.
"You're talking about that insect that was at the mid-stage of the Venerable realm; it's already dead."
Jiang Shu grinned, then suddenly stretched out his hand, and a terrifying aura instantly erupted, sweeping in all directions.
At the same time, a roaring serpent suddenly appeared behind him.
Jiang Shu came here not only to gather intelligence, but also to hunt for food.
Bashe's talent allows him to devour powerful individuals and imprint the Dao seal of their power onto his body.
In the vast universe, there aren't that many Venerables for him to kill. Killing a Venerable at will would have far-reaching consequences.
It's different here.
As his aura naturally dissipated, a massive number of insects were easily crushed by his power. Jiang Shu then suddenly stretched out a hand and swung his fist at the spider.
An overwhelming force suddenly erupted from his body, and a pitch-black object suddenly appeared on his right fist.
A profound force of attraction erupted, unleashing a strike capable of capturing stars and seizing the moon! (End of Chapter)
