Chapter 796
The Zerg War
Jiang Shu continued to sneer.
His voice, amplified by divine sense, reverberated through the starry sky. Soon, an aura suddenly emanated from within the starship, spreading in all directions.
Late stage of Venerable Realm!
Indeed, this time, there is a powerful expert at the late stage of the Venerable realm presiding over the starships.
No wonder they dared to be so bold.
Jiang Shu remained calm and unfazed by the imposing aura. He simply sneered and said, "Come out here. If you continue to hide and pretend to be profound, I won't spare you either!"
His voice was firm and resolute, as if he might strike at any moment.
Meanwhile, the commotion in the surrounding area has already attracted the attention of some interested parties.
Most of these were outsiders who had come here in the last few days following the torch. Some of them did not make a move, but they were all secretly observing.
A torch is, after all, a coordinate; the ability to establish such a coordinate demonstrates extraordinary power.
Although they lacked the strength, they had already anticipated that the torch would inevitably cause trouble, so they had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, wanting to see what kind of martial prowess the owner of this place possessed.
However, things did not go as they expected.
Jiang Shu also noticed those gazes, but he didn't care and whispered, "Three, two..."
Before he could finish saying his last number, a figure appeared in the vast space like a beam of light.
It was a Spirit Clan man dressed in fine clothes, staring angrily at Jiang Shu with a hint of displeasure.
"Great, it's out now."
Jiang Shu casually tossed the spirit woman aside as if she were trash, then asked, "Sir, may I ask your name?"
"The Spirit Race Shines on the Moon!"
The Spirit Clan man immediately spoke.
"Interesting. Did you send her out to provoke us?"
Jiang Shu's eyes were icy cold as he stared at the Spirit Clan's Radiant Moon and said, "I don't know if it is or isn't."
He stared at the Spirit Race man in the late stage of the Venerable Realm before him, and a vast killing intent erupted from his body, making him stand in space like a demon god.
"So what if it's me!"
The Spirit Clan man spoke arrogantly, looking coldly at Jiang Shu, "So what if you can defeat her? She's just an early-stage Venerable, while I'm a late-stage Venerable!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yaoyue arrogantly raised her chin, immediately revealing a hint of disdain.
He had already sensed Jiang Shu's soul strength, which was roughly at the mid-stage of the Venerable realm.
If they go all out, they can naturally retaliate and suppress them.
The reason he hadn't made a move before was because he believed Jiang Shu was merely a powerful figure first introduced by this faction.
I don't want to reveal too many of my cards.
It was learned by the truly powerful figures within this faction.
But given the current situation, we have no choice but to take action.
However, in his view, dealing with someone like Jiang Shu wouldn't require revealing too many of his trump cards, so it didn't matter.
"Good good!"
Jiang Shu clapped his hands with a smile, then said, "Since that's the case, there's no need to hide anymore. Please come out, everyone."
Come out?
The hearts of countless people watching this moment stirred.
In the next instant, one aura after another suddenly erupted in this starry sky. Mid-stage Venerables were just ordinary, and there were no fewer than three late-stage Venerables!
"So you're here to cause trouble?"
Elder Lei walked steadily, his aura vast and imposing, staring intently at Yaoyue like an ancient giant god.
Behind him, the Zerg Queen's personal guard Blood Scythe and the Mechanical Race's divine messenger Resistance, both late-stage Venerables, also arrived.
"This……"
Yao Yue's pupils suddenly contracted, and her expression turned extremely ugly.
He had imagined that there would be late-stage Venerables here, but he never imagined that there would be three!
They are the Terran, Zerg, and Mech races.
"Damn it, how did these three powerful races get mixed up together? This is impossible!"
Yaoyue roared inwardly, but her eyes were filled with disbelief.
These three races were at war before the Warp appeared, so how come they've united now?
Not only Yaoyue couldn't understand it, but many beings watching from afar were also momentarily stunned.
Many of them believed that this was a force formed purely by humans.
"Oh, we're at the same level now, but there seems to be something wrong with the number of you; it looks like there are too few."
Jiang Shu crossed his arms and looked at the powerful Spirit Clan member in front of him with a sneer.
"Now, do you still wish to make a move?"
Yao Yue was sweating profusely.
If there were only one late-stage Venerable, he would not be afraid. But now there are three Venerables, plus many other mid-stage powerhouses, so it's a different story.
"Just now, I was just joking."
Yaoyue spoke, her expression turning rather grim.
"It was just a joke."
Jiang Shu sneered, and suddenly grabbed, unleashing tremendous power in his palm. The female spirit who had dared to provoke him trembled slightly, then completely lost consciousness and perished on the spot.
A venerable one was simply crushed to death just like that!
At this moment, countless pairs of eyes that were watching were filled with horror, and some even began to tremble.
Jiang Shu gave a cold laugh and then said, "Since that's the case, please don't take offense, fellow Daoist. I was just making a mistake just now."
"it is good."
Yaoyue gritted her teeth, but she was powerless to do anything about what was happening before her.
Even if he was a powerful expert in the late stage of the Venerable Realm, he could only watch obediently. Otherwise, if the other side really started fighting, who knew how many more Venerable Realm experts would appear?
After all, there are already three late-stage Venerable cultivators right in front of us. What about later?
Yao Yue even speculated that the faction that could create such an incredible artifact as the torch might have a saint behind it.
saint!
Taking a deep breath, Yaoyue spoke, "In that case, may we enter?"
"Go inside, but her body will be left to dry here."
Jiang Shu's words were exceptionally decisive.
At the same time, it also allows those onlookers in the distance to have a good look.
If they set up a torch here, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of others, so they might as well establish their authority here directly.
The proof of his authority was the corpse of a venerable one!
"it is good."
Yaoyue nodded, returned to the starship, and slowly headed towards the distant port.
Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, then chuckled, "I thought he would leave in anger, but I didn't expect him to have some sense after all." After speaking, Jiang Shu slowly shook his head, looked at Elder Lei, Di An, and Blood Scythe, three late-stage Venerable experts beside him, and said, "The three of you, please go back. I will take care of this here. Also, leaving this corpse here should give some people with ulterior motives a sense of awe."
"So good!"
Elder Lei laughed heartily and said, "I suppose no one will dare to provoke the tiger again."
As for Blood Scythe and Resistance, the two powerful members of the Machine Race and Zerg Race respectively, they simply left.
This is enough to establish authority; it's using a respected figure as a target.
No matter where one is, the Venerable One's aura of authority is sufficient.
After seeing off the three late-stage Venerable experts, Jiang Shu returned to the desolate planet to await any potential visitors.
Meanwhile, in the distance, a starship slowly entered the harbor.
"Senior, since this human so disregards us, why don't we leave? And why did he even kill us..."
One of the Spirit Clan Venerables couldn't help but speak, looking at Yaoyue.
However, he was slapped by this powerful expert at the late stage of the Venerable realm.
Snapped!
This slap, imbued with the power of laws, left a mark on the face of this early-stage Venerable expert.
Yaoyue coldly stared at the spirit race before her, then said, "Perhaps it's because of my protection, you all seem a bit too arrogant. Can't you see that changes are about to occur in the Cambia space?"
Upon hearing these words, many of the Spirit Race members present were filled with doubt.
What changes have occurred in Cambiar space?
The Eldar were all startled, and then they remembered the torch that shone so brightly in the Warp as if it would never go out.
"You mean, that torch?"
"What else could it be?"
Yaoyue's face was extremely gloomy, and then she spoke.
"This symbolizes that there will be a constant and well-known coordinate system throughout the universe, no matter how desolate this place may have been before, but from now on..."
Yaoyue looked up at the magnificent torch in the distance, and then spoke in a deep voice: "This place will become the center of the universe. All those in the subspace isolation chambers who want to communicate must come here, unless a second torch appears."
As these words fell, the many spirit race members present were filled with shock, as if they had witnessed such a magnificent scene.
"This will be the rise of a great era. If you do not embrace this great era, you will naturally be abandoned by it."
Yaoyue slowly shook her head.
"What if this torch is stolen?"
The Spirit Race members present suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Stolen?"
Hearing these words, Yaoyue finally showed a more pleasant expression.
"It would be best for us, of course. However, who can snatch this torch from the humans, the machine race, and the insect race? You must know that before the Great Anomaly, any one of these three races was a dominant race. Unless our Spirit Race and Star Beast Race join forces and lead the remaining weak races, there might be a chance."
Yaoyue sighed and spoke.
Upon hearing these words, the many spirits present fell silent.
……
In the time that followed, more and more powerful individuals traversed the subspace and arrived at the Mingkuang Star Region where the Canglan Kingdom was located.
While waiting, Jiang Shu suddenly raised his head and looked towards the edge of the subspace.
A dense, overwhelming swarm of insects emerged from the subspace.
The number of insectoids was enough to blot out the sky, an unbelievable number that shocked everyone.
You should know this is the starry sky!
The universe is vast and boundless; the number of insect swarms is far more than millions or tens of millions, and may even be far greater!
The appearance of the swarm immediately drew the attention of other powerful beings once again.
The reason is simple: those powerful individuals could vaguely sense that the swarm of insects did not seem to be there for reunion or peace. Instead, they were menacing and filled with killing intent, as if they had seen a delicious meal.
"Sure enough, the insect plague has arrived."
Jiang Shu chuckled, showing no intention of taking any action, as these insects were not something he was meant to deal with.
How many can he kill by himself?
There will always be some that slip through the net and manage to enter the Bright Open Starfield.
But that's okay, he's not good at dealing with this bug, but some bugs are.
Almost immediately, an invisible wave resounded throughout the entire Mingkuang Star Sector.
Under the transmission of that fluctuation, in an instant, from every lifeless, desolate planet in the Bright Vast Star Region except for the main star, a massive number of insects flew out.
These insects generally have very low cultivation levels; they are all newly formed and born in this world.
However, their numbers were countless, even several times greater than those of the distant Zerg.
In the starry sky, Blood Scythe, the Zerg Queen's personal guard, appeared at the forefront of the swarm, roaring silently to the sky before leading the swarm forward in a charge.
In the universe, sometimes two dark clouds begin to fight fiercely, entangled and battling, with countless swarms of insects tearing each other apart.
In the instant the two torrents collided, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Zerg were killed, an unbelievable number.
Almost every second thereafter, tens of thousands of Zerg died, yet both sides were simultaneously devouring and killing each other while also reproducing.
Only one brainless, naturally powerful Zergling crawled out and immediately joined the battle, just like a weapon.
Jiang Shu watched the great battle unfold. Then, with the massive number of Zerg killing each other, the number of Zerg deaths on Blood Scythe's side was clearly much greater than that on the other side.
After all, the large number of insectoids created by Blood Scythe had only been around for a short time. Although their numbers were large enough, their individual strength was still much weaker than that of their opponents.
However, as the Zerg fought and devoured each other, the number of Zerg on Bloodscythe's side decreased, but their quality continued to improve.
This is how the Zerg fight each other.
Several days later, the numbers on both sides were almost equal. However, the Zerg led by Blood Scythe had been absorbing resources and increasing their strength, and had begun a counterattack.
Not far away, the powerful figures in the Mingkuang Star Region were all staring in astonishment.
This was the first time they had ever witnessed a battle between Zerg, and it was far more bloody and terrifying than they had imagined.
If we're talking about the Zerg's battles against other races, then they're not much different from ordinary battles between other races.
However, the battles between insects are even more brutal.
Once dead, they are met with being dismembered and devoured.
As the numbers and quality of both sides changed, Bloodscythe's Zerg began to gain an absolute advantage.
"kill!"
Blood Scythe suddenly swung its eight abdominal legs, which were like eight battle blades, and in an instant, it cleaved the mid-stage Venerable Zerg powerhouse blocking its way into pieces.
puff!
puff!
puff!
In an instant, the leading mid-stage Venerable Zerg expert was killed, and the situation immediately turned one-sided. (End of Chapter)
