Abyss Summoner

"Die!"

The Inferior Demon emitted a crisp sound, and just as its voice fell, Nine-Winged Cicada, one of the masterminds behind this invasion, was completely engulfed by Dragon Breath, leaving only a charred body!

"Hoo..."

"Hoo..."

Amazingly, a few seconds after Nine-Winged Cicada completely turned into a charred corpse, its chest began to rise and fall, clearly indicating it was not truly dead yet.

Legendary creature.

A life form entirely different from the previous ranks, a being of such strength could even refrain from eating, instead sustaining life through the energy contained in the air.

The most vivid demonstration is that at this level of undead creatures, even if the head is shattered, they might continue fighting, as their life no longer depends on the head alone. To utterly kill the opponent, one must grind them to dust.

Even though Nine-Winged Cicada is just an insect, the power of a Legendary Insect Emperor is not just for show. In the face of being engulfed by Dragon Breath, it entered a state of feigned death. Even if severely wounded, given some time, it could recover to its former state in just three months!

Legendary creatures are challenging to gauge with common logic.

"Ssss... Ssss..."

Some faint sounds came from Nine-Winged Cicada’s throat, its vocal cords already destroyed by Dragon Breath. Now, only intermittent low cries spread through its throat.

It was calling for help!

Nine-Winged Cicada sensed mortal danger, and at this moment, it no longer cared about the so-called dignity of the strong but began frantically calling for help from its surroundings.

When the surrounding insects heard the call, their breathing suddenly intensified, and even their bodies slowly became flushed, as if placed on a pan, experiencing an incomprehensible change!

"Sss!"

Hisses continuously emanated from the mouths of insects. At this moment, the insects, initially in a scattered state, all turned around, their eyes filled with bloodlust representing hatred. Even knowing the gap between themselves and the Inferior Demon, they aimed to drown it with overwhelming numbers, burying it beneath a sea of insects!

Forced summoning!

This was not the insects becoming enraged over Nine-Winged Cicada’s defeat, but because, as an Insect Emperor, Nine-Winged Cicada held supreme ruling rights over lower-tier insects.

This ability is akin to the Legendary Flame Demon’s [Demon Enslave], where those low-tier creatures have no choice but to accept enslavement and become cannon fodder on the battlefield!

A rumbling sound erupted!

With the waves of insects turning to charge, even the ground trembled slightly!

——Undead Resurrection!

——Black Cloud Skill!

——Evil Aura!

Saruman turned to face the insect sea, his expression still serene. He raised the Bone Staff in his hand, and as strands of Dark Magic fell, the corpses lying in pools of blood seemed to be summoned, struggling to rise from the ground.

A deceased Timid Demon wobbled and rose, having its half head bitten off in the previous battle. Now, its cheeks still had remnants of white brain matter. Its eyes long lost the tint of life, only a milky haze remained, without consciousness or instinct, driven solely by Saruman’s command.

Dense masses of bodies rose from the ground, and unlike when they were alive and feared the enemy’s charge, now they resembled a host of resentful spirits from Hell!

Demons, countless bodies mingling together, collided towards the oncoming insects!

Initially, these bodies still wobbled, but as they mastered it, their speed increased, finally transforming into an unstoppable tide of corpses!

An awe-inspiring scene!

The insects faced an unprecedented powerful enemy, compared to demons, these undead creatures are simply the toughest opponent. They feel no fear, unafraid of death, and even if ripped in half, they use their last strength to bite off the enemy’s throat!

Standing aside, Chen Feng, who remained an observer from start to finish, glanced deeply at Saruman. After advancing to a legendary state, Saruman significantly enhanced his mastery of necromancy.

In awakening, the bodies emitted a yellowish pus. When an enemy contacts the undead, they too are corroded by the juices in those pustules.

——Corpse Rot Poison!

These poisons corrode the insect’s armor, slowing their movements, and some weaker insects might even die from it!

When Saruman summoned previously, he didn’t have this ability. Clearly, as he became legendary, the spellcasting ability of undead rebirth has also become an enhanced version!

The insects are gradually being defeated!

Under the mounting pressure, the magic that summoned the insects seems to be slowly dissipating. The undead and demons before them have inflicted fatal damage on them. The opponents aren’t those humans who only run and scream, but rather have become even more terrifying enemies!

The Demon Legion and death-defying demons!

As more and more corpses are resurrected, the insects are being held back. Some insects, in the face of absolute fear, seem to have regained some clarity in their minds. Some insects released from the forced summoning begin to turn back and scatter again.

Truly pathetic!

In their past lives, having devoured whole cities and gradually expanding their dominion, the forces of the Insect Realm have now become the bullied ones. Those hard insect armors are shattered by the weapon-wielding demons. When sharp insect limbs cut through the enemies, they also simultaneously infect them with the fearsome Corpse Rot Poison. Whether in defense or offense, large numbers of insects fall forever. In the face of such dreadful might, they seem to have no choice but to flee.

As the insects retreat, Saruman turns his gaze to the Nine-Winged Cicada on the ground, and with a slightly mocking tone, says, "Are you still trying to resist? Do not persist any longer; your fate has already been decided!"

Saruman raises his left hand, and the ground suddenly begins to shake as if an earthquake has occurred, causing most of the nearby creatures to stumble and sway.

——Earthquake Skill!

"Boom!"

A loud bang is heard as the ground beneath the Nine-Winged Cicada suddenly collapses, like a giant coffin, completely sealing it inside.

The soil slowly gathers, and within less than a minute, the silhouette of the Nine-Winged Cicada is entirely submerged!

Saruman has not forgotten his mission: to capture sacrifices for Chen Feng’s summoning. Compared to a corpse, a barely breathing Nine-Winged Cicada is undoubtedly more valuable.

As for capturing the Insect Emperor, this task is already one-third complete.

"Boom!"

A huge crashing sound comes from not far away, with some ice chunks scattering to the ground during the fall.

The shadow of the Legendary Blazing Demon flashes past, suddenly appearing in front of the Frost Poison Ants, staring at the enemy before it with a roar from its heart!

The roar is like muffled thunder, rolling across the sky, reverberating throughout the mountains!

The Frost Poison Ants, imitating the Nine-Winged Cicada, attempt to summon the insects for aid, but the Legendary Blazing Demon is unmoved, raising its Flame Sword with a heatwave that erupts around, sending out waves of imperceptible energy!

A swarm of insects surges toward the Legendary Blazing Demon. However, when they get within about twenty meters of it, their entire bodies suddenly freeze, their faces turning red, with some white smoke even emanating from their heads!

"Bang!"

The invisible flame wave on the Legendary Blazing Demon becomes increasingly intense, and as the insects continue their charge, they become bizarre torches in the eyes of countless companions, bursting into ashes without even having the time to scream!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After the first deep sound rises, a succession of sounds follows. With each sound, the charging insects turn into eerie torches, finally exploding into ashes across the ground...

When these nearly eerie deep explosion sounds have echoed around a few hundred times, the once ferocious insects finally feel fear, their eyes restlessly darting around, afraid that they might be the next to burst into flames!

When the power of the Legendary Blazing Demon is activated, it can create a continuous burning energy wave around, and if the enemy lacks strong fire element resistance, they can be turned into a glowing torch within ten seconds without lifting a finger!

At this moment, this Lord from the Abyss, with an indifferent face, ignores the bizarrely dying insects. Its cold gaze slowly roves around, and whenever its gaze lingers on a spot, an insect bursts into flames and burns!

Fear is spreading. In the face of this terrifying ability, no matter how furious the insects become, they no longer have the courage to charge. Compared to Saruman’s undead rebirth, the Legendary Blazing Demon has overwhelmingly subdued the insect tide, compelling them to submit under its terrifying might!

The Frost Poison Ants are frightened!

In the face of a demon that has survived for hundreds of years in the harsh environment of the Abyss, this Insect Emperor feels fear. It attempts to rise and flee from this place of turmoil. Yet, just as it rises, it finds that the Legendary Blazing Demon has already turned and is steadily approaching it.

The Frost Poison Ants gaze into the opponent’s eyes and, for some reason, their body stiffens, seemingly unable to move at all.

——Fearful Gaze!

This is also a signature move of the Legendary Blazing Demon. The Frost Poison Ants, utterly terrified, have the effects of the Fearful Gaze stack repeatedly upon them.

The Legendary Blazing Demon stands in front of the Frost Poison Ants, raising its Flame Longsword like a victorious general returning. Amidst the throngs of insects’ cries and the Frost Poison Ants’ astonishment, it stabs down fiercely—a burst of blood flashes, and the head of the Insect Emperor rolls off, collapsing a few meters away on the ground...
