Chapter 1464: Secrets of the Immortal Bug Valley (Part 1) Chapter 1464: Secrets of the Immortal Bug Valley (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations After several earth-shattering clashes, it became clear to all presentaEUR”both Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and the Abyssal DevoureraEUR”that none of them were easily vanquished.
Their opponents were far more formidable than anticipated.
The Abyssal Devourer soon realized that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were not accidental intruders but had deliberately forced their way through the Gate of the Immortal Bug Valley using sheer power.
However, with the limited intelligence typical of the insect race, it could not fathom why these two humans had come.
As the tension thickened and the duo fixed it with their steely gazes, the Abyssal Devourer spoke in a guttural voice, its command of human speech surprising them: “Damned human cultivators!
What business do you have in my Immortal Bug Valley?
Are you trying to provoke a war between the insect race and humanity?” A Forgotten History.
The question left Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan momentarily startled.
They hadn't expected this colossal insect to speak their tongue.
What they didn't know, however, was the Immortal Bug Valley's grim historyaEUR”a past largely forgotten by the human cultivators of the Northern Continent.
Long ago, driven by greed for the valley's resources, the Northern Continent's sects amassed vast armies and invaded the Immortal Bug Valley, slaughtering countless insect beasts and plundering its rare treasures.
But their greed provoked a terrible response.
The valley's Earth Immortal-level insect overlords awoke, igniting a catastrophic war between the insect race and humanity.
The valley's defensive wards were breached, and a flood of insect beastsaEUR”countless in numberaEUR”spilled out, devastating the Northern Continent in a campaign of destruction.
The resilience and prolific reproduction of the insects rivaled even that of abyssal demons.
Cities burned, sects fell, and casualties mounted on both sides.
The few Earth Immortal-level insect overlords, empowered by the valley's unique energies, clashed repeatedly with the human Earth Immortals, emerging unbeaten after every battle.
This human-insect war lasted nearly 10,000 years, reshaping the continent's fate.
In the end, the humans were forced into a stalemate, retreating and declaring the Immortal Bug Valley forbidden.
It became a place even the mightiest Earth Immortals feared to tread, lest they provoke another calamity.
Yet as centuries passed, the events of this war faded into obscurity.
Few living beingsaEUR”human or otherwiseaEUR”remembered its horrors.
Only the ancient insect immortals of the valley retained its memory.
Jiang Chengxuan's Retort.
“A war between humans and insects?” Jiang Chengxuan sneered, cutting through the Abyssal Devourer's pretense.
“You dare speak of protecting your kind when your belly is filled with their bones?” The Abyssal Devourer froze, caught off guard.
After a moment of processing, it rumbled in a slow, guttural tone: “Their livesaEUR served a purpose.
To die for me, to become my strength, is the highest honoraEUR ” Jiang Chengxuan's expression turned colder.
“So much for your righteous indignation.” Another Challenger Appears.
Before the conversation could continue, an overwhelming aura descended from the hazy light of the massive moon above.
A second colossal presence emerged from the shadows, its form erupting into the battlefield like a rising mountain.
This creature's power was no less terrifying than the Abyssal Devourer's.
Its aura twisted space, suffocating the air with sheer pressure as it locked onto Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
The Praying Mantis Immortal.
The second arrival was a towering mantis-like beast.
Its razor-sharp limbs gleamed with a violet sheen, marked by glowing blue runes similar to those on the Abyssal Devourer.
Every step it took fractured the ground, its massive body radiating an oppressive gravitational force.
Its serrated limbs glinted ominously as it hissed: “HumansaEUR this is our sacred domain.
Your presence defiles it.
You will die!” The mantis beast wasted no time, swinging one of its blade-like limbs with terrifying speed.
The air ripped apart, leaving behind a void-like fissure as the attack screamed toward Jiang Chengxuan.
“Not so fast!” Jiang Chengxuan roared.
Summoning his Fated Territory, he manifested a massive spectral fist that shimmered with divine radiance.
The fist surged forward to meet the mantis beast's blade.
“Boom!” The two forces collided in an explosion of light and sound, shaking the world.
The massive moon above flickered under the shockwaves, its pale glow momentarily dimmed.
As the aftermath cleared, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan remained unscathed, their combined auras shielding them from harm.
Before anyone could catch their breath, the oppressive aura in the air thickened once more.
From the fractured void emerged a third figureaEUR”its presence even more grotesque and unsettling.
This insect immortal had three faces, each adorned with countless compound eyes.
Each eye reflected an illusory world, their surreal imagery shifting like living dreams.
The creature's body radiated an otherworldly aura of chaos and mystery.
It spoke in a chilling harmony of three overlapping voices: “You do not belong here, humans.
This place is not yours to claim.
Leave now, or be consumed.” Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged a glance.
Their expressions remained calm, but the weight of the situation was clear.
Three Earth Immortal-level insect overlords now stood before them.
Each one exuded an aura of unyielding dominance.
