Purple flowing light, frenzied laughter, and the excitement after seeing the insects—everything pointed to the individual’s identity.
"It’s... it’s Elder Zi Kuang! Great! Elder Zi Kuang is here!"
Everyone couldn’t help but reveal a joyous expression; no one expected such a mighty figure to appear in this most urgent moment.
Su Changqing also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and the small token that had unknowingly appeared in his hand was promptly returned to his storage space.
That was his last trump card, assured to keep everyone else alive, but once used, it would lead to his death as the user, so he wouldn’t use it lightly unless it was absolutely critical.
Now it’s better, Zi Kuang’s appearance has brought him hope again. Although this old master Zi is somewhat insane, even bearing the nickname Zi Crazy, his strength is genuinely formidable; unless the figures of the Original Realm appear, he ranks in the top five in the entire Star Alliance.
Years ago, Zi Kuang joined the Star Alliance to reunite with his daughter, Ziwei, decisively becoming an elder in the organization.
However, it seemed that there was a significant misunderstanding between the father and daughter, and Ziwei never seemed to appreciate her father much, often avoiding him and carrying out missions alone.
Later, when Ziwei fought the Ancestor Worms on Karon Star and got sucked into the Second Universe without a trace, Zi Kuang turned madly searching for his daughter.
Ignoring the dangers completely, he searched frantically in the Insect Domain for years without any results, thus thoroughly descending into madness, transforming into a machine existing solely for hunting the Insect Race.
Since that event, Star Alliance members almost never saw Zi Kuang again; they only knew that a figure traversed the Insect Domain in the Second Universe day after day, year after year, and as the Great Fusion intensified, he would occasionally be mysteriously fused back into the First Universe during his insect hunts, leading others to occasionally see that purple light near the Phantom Spirit Star System.
And now, perhaps once more transmitted by the Great Fusion, Zi Kuang appears at this crucial moment among them. Given his power, although unable to decisively defeat the Level 7 Insect Swarm, he could definitely protect himself, giving Star Alliance’s fleet a greater chance of escape.
In a stream of light, Zi Kuang transformed into a towering purple giant. He charged into the Desolate Insect Swarm like entering uncharted territory, easily slapping countless insects to death. For a seasoned Extraordinary Level powerhouse like him, without the Ancestor Worm’s intervention, regular low-level insects couldn’t trouble him unless a larger number of insects formed a more advanced Insect Domain, thereby potentially suppressing his strength.
The Insect Race wasn’t foolish; realizing such a god of slaughter arrived, they dispatched high-end forces promptly—earlier, the four Ancestor Worms surrounding the God Slayer now sent three to besiege Zi Kuang.
As a result, the previously precarious God Slayer drones finally had a moment to breathe, preserving a slim chance at survival.
Zi Kuang fought three alone, never falling behind, snapping off one Ancestor Worm’s forelimbs and fiercely stabbing them into another Ancestor Worm’s head, before uproariously tearing off its head, savagely devouring its flesh and blood—a figure resembling a fearsome Demon God.
"Eat you all! Eat you all! You ate my Weiwei, I’ll eat you too! Hahaha!"
Zi Kuang’s laughter echoed, and although everyone felt somewhat creepy hearing it, understanding why Elder Zi became such as this fueled their compassion.
Su Changqing also saw Zi Kuang’s frenzied appearance for the first time; although Zi Kuang spent years hunting the Insect Race, even he never had the chance to meet the elder.
Now it seems, the grief of losing his daughter gravely affected Zi Kuang, bringing such a mighty Extraordinary Level figure to this state.
They attempted communicating with him via Sound Transmission, but Zi Kuang acted as though he heard nothing, continuing to slaughter the Insect Race madly.
Among the three Ancestor Worms, the weakest was defeated in a single move; the remaining two had some strength, opting for a flanking strategy to entangle with him.
The insects’ intentions were simple: utilize the Insect Domain advantage to wear down the opponent.
This was their Insect Race’s territory, constantly integrating a massive number of insect swarms, and the Insect Domain was growing stronger.
These two Ancestor Worms not only leveraged the Insect Domain to boost their strength, suppressing the opponent, but also drew power from the Insect Domain for recovery, thus able to prolong their endurance in this area, rendering Zi Kuang a non-threat over time.
"These insects want a war of attrition; we must act, we can’t let Elder Zi be surrounded like this."
"It’s not easy; all fleets are suppressed by the Insect Domain, the energy supply systems are virtually paralyzed; only a few flagships can still move slightly..."
"Damn it! Then let’s abandon these warships and personally intervene! If Elder Zi fails, we’ll be next!"
