Chapter 1111: Chapter 1113: Incubation_1 Chapter 1111: Chapter 1113: Incubation_1 The Insect Mother excitedly stepped forward, but as she took her stride, she collapsed directly onto the ground;
Its enormous tail had now become a burden, greatly slowing its movement speed, leaving the Titan Insect Mother somewhat at a loss.
It must be known that the Titan Insect Mother did not have such a colossal tail incubator prior to being imprisoned. To survive, it had no choice but to constantly evolve and incubate, hatching a large number of Insect Soldiers in order to live on. Otherwise, it would have starved to death in this cave decades ago.
But now, due to the massive incubator, it found itself unable to move swiftly after breaking free, an outcome it had not anticipated.
As it was caught off guard, countless Spirit Swords ablaze with roaring flames formed an immense Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation that enveloped it entirely. Flames blazed and swords danced. Within the Sword Formation, countless Spirit Swords flitted around like swimming fish, relentlessly assaulting the Insect Mother. Although each attack only inflicted a few hundred points of damage, they added up, and slowly the Insect Mother's Vitality Points began to fall.
Bang!
The Insect Mother furiously attacked within the Sword Formation, causing the entire Red Lotus Sword Array to begin trembling slightly, as if it might be breached by the Insect Mother at any moment.
At that moment, as if sensing imminent danger, the Red Lotus Sword Array hastened its transformations. The Sword Array wasn't fully closed yet, but above it, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword had already begun to form!
A ten-meter-long giant sword blade hovered above the Titan Insect Mother's head. Initially just a translucent apparition, the blade grew increasingly tangible with time, soon solidifying into a razor-sharp long sword glinting coldly.
With a “Cang Lang” sound of a sword's call, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword traced a white arc in the sky before cleaving down towards the Titan Insect Mother. The piercing Sword Qi, even from dozens of meters away, made Song Jian's skin sting painfully, forcing him to instinctively take two steps back.
The terrifying might of the Titan Insect Mother seemed to be sensed even by the Red Lotus Sword, unleashing its power to the extreme!
The threat of the Red Lotus Sword was too great for the Insect Mother, driving it into an even wilder frenzy. Shrill shrieks resounded, like invisible waves of sound spreading outward in continuous, wave-like surges.
Above Song Jian's head, numbers indicating more than a thousand points of damage appeared, causing his face to pale as he felt as though he was being hammered head-on by multiple heavy mallets; his internal organs screamed in tearing pain. Unable to help himself, he spat out a mouthful of blood and hastily retreated. With such horrifying attacks coming non-stop, even he dared not face them head-on.
Under the bombardment of such sound waves, the Red Lotus Sword Array seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure, cracks forming on its surface and large chunks of flame splattering out like broken fragments, revealing glimpses of the Titan Insect Mother within the Sword Array.
As it struggled fiercely, appearing as though it might break free from the Sword Array's constraints at any step, the Red Lotus Sword above struck down with the swiftness of lightning.
Screech~
A grating metallic friction sounded, and the Titan Insect Mother let out a piercing wail. The previous sonic attack abruptly ceased, and the next moment, the Red Lotus Sword Array completely shattered. The Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword had cleaved deep into the Insect Mother's body, the grievous wound gushing purple-red blood and milky body fluid. The Insect Mother convulsed, struggling helplessly, seemingly without the strength to stand up.
As the Red Lotus Sword slowly faded, the Titan Insect Mother's eyes glared hatefully, filled with seething rage about to erupt, staring intently at the distant Song Jian.
At that moment, Song Jian saw that a horrific wound had appeared on the lower half of the Titan Insect Queen's body, a gash about five or six meters long that had almost split her tail end into two. The wound was smooth as a mirror, but was quickly covered by spurting blood and bodily fluids.
“Is that, that its incubation tube?” Song Jian couldn't help but gasp. With such a severe injury, even if the Insect Queen didn't die, it likely wouldn't be able to continue incubating larvae.
This was even more infuriating to it than death itself!
A dark red glow enveloped the Queen's body, and its originally pitch-black carapace seemed as if it had caught fire, looking more menacing despite being gravely injured. The aura of the Titan Insect Queen didn't weaken but grew even stronger, becoming increasingly fierce.
“Has it gone berserk?” Song Jian was taken aback. This was a common occurrence during boss hunts–when the boss's Vitality Points fell to a certain level or specific conditions were met, it would trigger a berserk mode. After going berserk, a boss's defenses and resistances might slightly decrease, but its damage and speed would greatly increase. Most team wipeouts typically happened during a boss's berserk phase.
Just as the Titan Insect Queen was about to charge at Song Jian, the Sword Qi Palm Imprint above its head rapidly took form. Perhaps due to the attraction of the boss's formidable strength, the evolution speed of the Thousand Swords Art had significantly increased. Of course, it might also have something to do with the advancement in the Sword Qi's ability to condense into shapes.
Around the Titan Insect Queen, it was as though there was an invisible wall imprisoning it. As its rage intensified, the massive Sword Qi Palm Imprint fell from the sky and harshly struck the Queen's huge body.
Originally around ten meters in size, the body of the Queen, due to berserk, had swollen to about thirteen or fourteen meters, but was still brutally pressed into the ground by the Sword Qi Palm Imprint.
The sound of cracking was incessant, and the Insect Queen let out a piercing screech. The walls of the entire cave were fractured, creating massive cracks that thundered as countless stones fell from above, showering down in a noisy clatter. The insect eggs on the ground also suffered, with a third of them directly shattered by the rocks. The others showed signs of damage as well.
Although Song Jian had already positioned himself at a distance, the screech came so suddenly that it sent him flying, slamming hard into the rock wall on the left side of the passage behind him. He was nearly embedded into the rock wall.
His Vitality Points dropped by more than six thousand, leaving less than a thousand. Frightened, he immediately activated Azure Dragon Sword Body and pulled out a large number of potions that could restore Vitality Points during combat, guzzling them down.
The health bar above the Titan Insect Queen's head visibly plummeted by a large amount. Its originally hard carapace shattered and most of it fell away, revealing the purple-red flesh underneath. Small sections still stubbornly clung to the Queen's body. At that moment, the Titan Insect Queen looked exceedingly ragged and miserable.
The Sword Qi Stone Tower above the Queen's head began to gather quickly. Sensing the threat to its life, the Insect Queen emitted a series of deep roars from its ferocious mouthparts. These sounds didn't cause any harm, but they felt oddly unsettling to Song Jian's ears.
Crack, crack~
On the ground, one egg after another suddenly burst open, and larva about one meter in size hatched. The levels of these Insect Soldiers were only fifty, and because they had just hatched, their carapaces were not yet hardened, appearing semi-transparent, like crystal. But after a short while in the air, they would become harder than steel.
Song Jian's complexion changed slightly. He had previously scouted these eggs and based on the incubation progress, they needed at least three to five more days to hatch, with most larvae inside not yet fully formed. But somehow, the Titan Insect Queen had used some method to hastily hatch all these larvae, making Song Jian grow nervous.
