Chapter 713 - 698: Battle of the Legions
"This is what it means to be routed," Chen Feng looked at everything before him and couldn’t help but sigh. These insects thought they were heavily guarding this place, waiting for the Insect Realm to open so they could swarm out all at once. But now it seems they’re just shooting themselves in the foot.
The Legendary Flame Demon altered the surrounding environment, forcibly summoning three volcanoes, causing an area of over a thousand meters to be eroded by magma. The insects crammed together didn’t even have the chance to escape before being roasted into ashes, ending their ugly lives completely!
What kind of environment do insects like?
Cold and damp!
In this world, daylight is very short, and the temperature hovers around ten degrees year-round, perfectly matching the insects’ habits. Because of this, they became the dominant species of this world, killing all the alien races and gulping them down.
After countless years of development, the insects here have long adapted to this environment. But now, when lava of several hundred degrees sprayed explosively around them, it became a catastrophic disaster for the insects!
The smoke and flames significantly weakened the insects’ combat power, making them vulnerable to attack.
The demons, having lived in the harsh environment of the Abyss for long periods, adapt better to this than the insects. As a result, by this point, the battle has already tilted!
The insects are facing an unprecedented crisis; all previous plans were overturned by the appearance of the Legendary Flame Demon, leading them down an unfamiliar path!
"Looks fun, Master. I want to go too!" The Inferior Demon stood beside Chen Feng, its eyes shining like little stars as it sought permission.
The Inferior Demon’s nature is slaughter; even with intelligence comparable to humans, it truly enjoys the sound of enemies’ screams and the sticky blood.
Chen Feng never thought of cultivating it to become a real human.
As a Divine Offspring, despite its extraordinary recovery and near-immortal traits, in this world, there is no true invincibility!
Standing still means being dominated; only by continually rushing forward can one control their own fate!
The Inferior Demon yearns for battle and needs it to awaken the power of the Divine Offspring. It has a treasure but is limited, only accessing a small part of the wealth. Only by enhancing its power can the treasure’s doorway be opened, for the Inferior Demon to enjoy its endless collection!
But these small fry don’t warrant the Inferior Demon making a move.
Chen Feng placed his hand on the Inferior Demon’s head, softly rubbing it before saying, "Wait a little longer; your time will come."
The Inferior Demon squinted, showing a deeply satisfied expression.
Now is not the time...
In the Insect Realm, the Legendary Flame Demon rampaged with abandon, shrouded in black smoke within five minutes. At this time, the insects were like weaklings facing a natural disaster; their power was utterly ineffective against this force, only able to watch themselves be torn apart by flames and the demons’ claws!
The insects’ defeat is only a matter of time, as more demons continue to crawl out from the infernal portal. Their blood initiates chaos, and the demons are wholly absorbed in this slaughter, while the insects seem incapable of making a comeback.
Slaughter!
The insects’ forces along the edge of the Insect Realm are collapsing continuously. They are effortlessly scattered by the demons. A Frenzy Demon, like a tank, advances, crushing forward with its thick, waist-like fists. When swung, insects are smashed directly, dropping like shattered meat on the ground.
The demons resemble a pack of evil wolves smelling blood, and the insects become lambs enclosed in a pen. A Silver Tier red-topped beetle fled for its life but, within mere meters, was shredded to pieces by chasing demons’ weapons!
Human weaponry!
Since the day the Legendary Flame Demon pledged allegiance to Chen Feng, aid from Order has poured into the fortress it governs.
Over time, Order’s weapon focus moved beyond firearms, emphasizing the enhancement of cold weapons.
To a true warrior, cold weapons are friendlier companions compared to those depending on ammunition!
In prior research, Order built Energy Towers, gaining substantial progress in electricity. When faced with the decision of popularizing electricity among residents or prioritizing factory construction, Chen Feng chose the latter without hesitation.
Everything in this world is based on strength.
Though dark times are miserable, survivors accustomed to two years of the apocalypse have adapted long ago. Thus, Chen Feng advocated using surplus electricity for factory building.
In this way, Order established two cold weapon factories; unlike the slower crafting process from before, the assembly line greatly accelerated weapon production.
The speed enhancement sacrifices sharpness and sturdiness of weapons, but for demons, it’s enough!
To Chen Feng, demons need weapons sharper than their claws, not ones that cleave through iron like mud—that is sufficient!
With the crafting speed of Ironmasters, supplying the Legendary Flame Demon’s demonic armies would take decades or centuries, not merely years, ultimately needing millennia!
In this apocalypse where every second counts, Chen Feng certainly would not waste precious time in such redundant matters, so the assembly line weapons hold the name "Demon Standard"
At this moment, Kuase Demons, Timid Demons, Abyssal Stealth Demons, Abyssal Bloodthirsty Demons, Cunning Demons, Frenzy Demons...
One after another, thousands of demons armed with weapons provided by Order charge out from the Abyss portal. Evil bloodlines collide with steel, and once again a massacre ensues, with insects failing to deliver effective damage despite their numbers.
Even so, Chen Feng refrained from sending the Inferior Demon into the Insect Realm to aid the Legendary Flame Demon, because he was waiting...waiting for certain figures to emerge.
The Insect Realm is too unusual!
Though having some intelligence, the low-tier insects resemble seven or eight-year-old humans, not rushing in without being driven by stronger leaders, congregating instead in such a narrow area.
Thus, there must be some powerful creatures lurking behind these insect warriors!
After previous ambushes, these sentient beings have become much more cautious, seemingly deliberating whether this is a trap, needing time to observe and analyze.
This time, Chen Feng’s primary aims are to severely hurt the Insect Realm and to find suitable offerings for summoning. If he and the Inferior Demon entered too early, it might cause those powerful entities to abstain from appearing to preserve themselves.
Such an outcome would contradict Chen Feng’s intentions.
Fortunately, demons hold the initiative, with thousands of insects crushed every minute. Chen Feng refuses to believe those High-tier insects won’t feel pain or emerge to kill the adversary—the Legendary Flame Demon—to end this disaster!
Time ticks away!
The pressure is suffocating to all life. Just as Chen Feng’s Spiritual Power approached "zero," the Abyss symbolized gate slowly closed, and when the final Timid Demon escaped, the gate, connecting with the Abyss, shut completely, blocking further demon emergence!
Within ten minutes, over hundreds of thousands of demons surged out. Although most were low-tier demons, numerous Silver Peak and Golden Tier intermediate demons emerged, armed viciously, slaughtering insects in a kilometer-radius. The area is now a sea of blood, filled with countless mutilated limbs!
Too horrific to imagine.
If those demons appeared near Order, even with Demon and Martial Cannons and professional defenders, the loss would be devastating.
This is the power of the Abyss.
Indeed, a mysterious and evil plane, incomparable to this city of Order.
Just when the battlefield turned one-sided, a chasm cracked open far across the Insect Realm’s ground, and a monstrous, grotesque spider slowly crawled out.
A moment.
Chen Feng’s expression changed dramatically, far more serious he uttered, "It’s appeared!"
