Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

This giant insect monster, stretching 300 meters in length, is covered with a multitude of extremely thick diamond-shaped armor plates.

The number of armor plates exceeds 50, and between every two plates extends a pair of jointed legs bristling with spikes.

The surface of each diamond-shaped armor is carved with intricate patterns in a raised form.

Its entire body is green, except for the patterns which are black, looking unusually striking.

This insect monster is named - Armor Cockroach.

Among the countless insect monsters in the vast Green Sea, Armor Cockroach is considered one of the more numerous species.

However, one with such an enormous size and strength reaching High Rank Knight Level is exceedingly rare.

When Yang Fan took a first glance, his attention naturally focused on the patterns of the opponent’s armor.

But when he looked one more time, he suddenly noticed the patterns bizarrely began to wriggle slowly, as if something was about to emerge from them.

The next moment.

Yang Fan actually felt as if something was about to emerge from his own soul.

He gave a "hum" sound, immediately raised a finger, and a ball of green light emerged from the fingertip.

In the center of the green light, there was a clearly virtual black insect struggling desperately.

"Pop!"

A faint sound was heard.

The green light exploded into countless light fragments, and the virtual black insect disappeared along with them.

"Hiss!"

The High Rank Knight insect monster let out an extremely sharp screech.

The green swamp surface within a radius of several kilometers, provoked by this sound, instantly rippled with countless patterns.

The twelve pairs of insect eyes on the large head of the Armor Cockroach exhibited a deeply humanized expression of surprise.

The preceding virtual black insect was precisely the strong Superpower of the Armor Cockroach - 〖Soul Parasite〗.

As the name suggests, it secretly implants a soul insect into the target’s soul, directly attacking the target’s soul.

The Armor Cockroach has lived in the Green Sea for exceedingly long years, relying on the Soul Parasite to kill an unknown number of enemies.

Just now it thought that the enemy was much weaker than itself, and this move would undoubtedly heavily injure the opponent.

But it never expected the enemy to effortlessly neutralize the Soul Parasite.

On the other side.

Yang Fan was emitting ripples all over, standing on a three-meter-long Green Sky Gourd Leaf.

This type of leaf is extremely tough and can easily bear over 100 kilograms of weight, so when standing on it, there was only a slight sway.

He looked gravely at the dark shadow hiding in the swamp several kilometers away.

Indeed, the Soul Parasite is terrifying; if not for the insight of the Star Formation, he might have unknowingly fallen into the trap.

Earlier, to neutralize this move, he used the Supreme Treasure, the Doppelgänger Puppet, to split off an extremely tiny fragment of his soul as bait.

The soul insect parasitized into the soul fragment, and after bursting the soul fragment, the soul insect naturally vanished.

Such an action came with a cost.

He lost a wisp of Soul Power, leading to a permanent decrease of 0.2 points in his Spirit Value.

But it was absolutely worth it.

Without the Supreme Treasure, it would likely have taken significant effort to dispel the soul insect.

Yang Fan immediately activated the top grade Superpower 〖Universal Illusion Demon Eye〗, and a faint silver Magic Thread appeared out of thin air.

Courtesy demands reciprocity.

He was preparing to attack.

Not only is the Armor Cockroach proficient in soul attacks, but he is also skilled in this field.

The Magic Thread can absolutely lock onto the target, making it impossible for the High Rank Knight to evade.

Another top grade Superpower 〖Life Lotus〗 followed by being activated.

The Armor Cockroach sensed danger, and the vast dark shadow swiftly dived downward into the green swamp.

But it’s utterly ineffective.

"Buzz～"

The Magic Thread quivered.

A formidable power was transmitted along the Magic Thread.

In the next instant.

A beautiful soul lotus blossomed out of nowhere within the soul of the Armor Cockroach.

This was a powerful skill stemming from Life Lotus - Lotus Cage.

Once when he was still a High Rank Warrior, casting a Lotus Cage could trap the Centipede Overlord of the Sea of Death Black Sand effortlessly, easily creating an Overlord Legion.

"Hiss!"

The Armor Cockroach let out another sharp screech.

A storm instantly erupted within its soul.

The Lotus Cage trapped it for merely 0.1 seconds before being shattered by a powerful Soul Power.

The storm soon subsided.

However, this action was not without cost.

The Armor Cockroach not only consumed a large amount of Spiritual Power, but its soul also remained in a turbulent state, reducing its combat power.

Yang Fan stared at the High Rank Knight insect monster, secretly thinking: "Here it comes!"

The opponent’s most powerful attack was about to arrive.

The reason he took so long to return to the Green Sea after visiting last time with his team was that he "foresaw" that the Armor Cockroach had mastered a wisp of Power of Law.

Given time, this insect monster has some hope of being promoted to a more powerful Venerable.

But it’s just "some".

There are numerous High Rank Knights who have touched upon the Law, but the rate of eventual promotion is dismally low.

The Power of the Stars also made him understand that if he were to conflict with the insect monster, his chances of winning were nearly zero.

The ultimate outcome would be - he would successfully escape while the exploration team would most likely be annihilated.

Therefore, before entering this time, he spent a long period meticulously preparing.

"Boom!"

Yang Fan heard an illusory clap of thunder.

Everything before his eyes suddenly underwent a bizarre transformation.

The Green Sea, which was lively just now, has now become eerie and terrifying.

The surrounding Green Sky Gourds, which stood silently just a moment ago, indifferent to the external events,

now seemed to have suddenly awakened, casting gazes full of immense hostility toward him.

He faintly heard the sounds of roaring.

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

"This place is not where you belong!"

The power of the insight into the Star Formation informed Yang Fan that this move was called - Enemy of the Green Sea.

The Cockroach Beetle used the Power of Law to awaken the deeper powers of the Green Sea, making him the enemy of the entire Green Sea.

As long as he is in the Green Sea, regardless of the location, he will inevitably face endless attacks.

"Buzz~buzz~"

The sound of flapping wings came from all directions.

These were swarms of insect monsters raised by the Green Sea, responding to the will of the Green Sea, gathering to besiege the enemy of the Green Sea.

For most Knights, when faced with such a terrifying situation, the only option is to run at the fastest speed to cross the World Gate and leave the Green Sea.

But there lies a problem, with the Cockroach Beetle eyeing nearby, will it watch you escape?

"Splash~"

A mass of water splashed up.

The High Rank Knight Level insect monster revealed its true form for the first time.

It rushed out of the swamp, riding the Elemental Spirit, soaring through the air.

Its massive body appeared oppressive to the Cockroach Beetle.

Yang Fan’s gaze flickered and settled on a piece of shell on the midsection of the Cockroach Beetle, his eyes flashing with a strange glint.

Earlier, he vaguely sensed that this High Rank Knight Level insect monster seemed slightly abnormal.

Now that the other party emerged, he relied on Insight Power to quickly discover that the Cockroach Beetle seemed tampered with.

This method was extraordinarily clever, even though the Cockroach Beetle had reached High Rank Knight Level, it was unaware.

Yang Fan muttered to himself: "Which Civilization World tampered with it?"

"Buzz~buzz~"

The sound of flapping wings became increasingly louder.

The insect tide was approaching.

Just from the sound, it could be guessed that the number of insect monsters was likely in the "tens of thousands".

"Screech!"

The Cockroach Beetle let out a triumphant screech.

*

Hundreds of kilometers away.

A particularly tall Green Sky Gourd, nearly two kilometers in height, stood taller than the surrounding Green Sky Gourds by a significant margin.

In the upper middle part of the tree trunk, there was a hidden large tree hole.

However, a certain Secret Technique obscured the entrance, so even surrounding insect monsters were unaware of the tree hole’s existence.

At this moment.

Inside the twenty-meter wide tree hole stood several humanoid beings.

These individuals had snow-white hair, each with a handsome face, pale skin, and wearing white armor.

Among them were both males and females, the males were robustly beautiful, while the females were graceful and alluring, with enticing figures.

They had a noticeable distinction, with different-colored and differently shaped marks on their foreheads.

The marks were not painted or attached, but seemed naturally formed.

Most peculiarly, they had a pair of folded wings behind them.

In the center of the tree hole.

A white ring was peculiarly floating in the air, with a diameter over three meters, appearing both tangible and ethereal, looking very strange.

In the center of the ring, a particularly clear three-dimensional image could be seen.

It was the scene of Yang Fan confronting the High Rank Knight Level insect monster.

Evidently, these winged humans, through some supernatural means, were remotely observing the battle with the Cockroach Beetle.

From their viewpoint, the overwhelming swarm of insects was surging towards Yang Fan, making the scene appear extremely terrifying.

"Splash~"

This was the sound of countless insect monsters flapping their wings, sounding louder than a tidal wave.

A male Feathered Person with a blue crescent moon on his forehead shook his head and said, "This human Knight’s methods are quite impressive; even at just Rank One, he can harm the Soul Insect King. It’s a pity he’s going to fall now."

The so-called "Soul Insect King" was clearly their name for the Cockroach Beetle.

To them, the human Knight’s condition was indistinguishable from a desperate situation.

Another female Feathered Person with a red flame mark on her forehead sighed, "The Soul Insect King’s Green Sea enemy is too formidable, we can’t break this move, and it seems we’ll never be able to defeat it."

The other Feathered People nodded in agreement.

Just then.

The image in the center of the ring suddenly changed.

The human Knight raised his hand, and from his palm emerged a bright green ball of light.

The ball of light rapidly expanded, its brightness surging by a hundredfold, instantly engulfing the Knight.

"Ah~"

The female Feathered Person with the flame mark blinked as the green light dazzled her eyes and lightly exclaimed.

She instinctively closed her eyes, exclaiming in surprise, "Such a strong Life Power, its intensity has reached Middle Rank Knight Level."

But the human Knight was clearly only Rank One; how could this not surprise her?

Meanwhile.

The ring could see the image, hear the sounds, and even sense power levels, clearly making it extraordinary.

After a while.

The green light had not yet dissipated.

Strangely, the sound of the flapping wings of the insect tide had diminished by more than half and sounded more scattered.

The female Feathered Person with the flame mark didn’t open her eyes yet but heard her companion’s shocked voice: "By the Feathered God, why is the insect tide dispersing?"

The speaker was the male Feathered Person with the blue crescent moon.

The female Feathered Person immediately opened her eyes and saw that the light had subsided; the scene was visible again.

As her companion said, the swarm began flying chaotically, with some insect monsters even seizing the opportunity to hunt other insects, creating a scene of utter chaos.

And in the center of the scene, the human Knight had transformed.

The ripples around him had vanished, and his exposed face and hand’s skin were covered with dark green patterns.

The female Feathered Person’s eyes widened: "What is this ability?"

Even a fool would know that the change on the human Knight was the key to breaking the Green Sea enemy.

The male Feathered Person shouted excitedly, "The White Feather Civilization desperately needs this ability!"

The female Feathered Person glanced at the ring and immediately had an idea: "The White Spirit Ring tells me that the White Feather Race can reproduce with this human Knight.

"We can propose a marriage alliance and offer him a great benefit in exchange for his help in defeating the Soul Insect King!"

The male Feathered Person nodded vigorously: "It can be tried."

*

Elsewhere.

Not only were the White Feather People of the White Feather Civilization stunned, but the Cockroach Beetle monster was also dumbfounded.

Originally, it planned to circle behind Yang Fan, but now it made an emergency halt.

Yang Fan turned and looked at the tampered shell piece on the Cockroach Beetle, murmuring, "Why do I feel like it’s the power of a Supreme Treasure?"
