Chapter 1197: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Approaching (First Update)

The Mosquito Beast King, now blue, buzzed around the periphery of the mountain range, slowly flying towards it. The moment it approached, the swarms of crimson-red Mosquito Beasts surrounding the mountain range immediately looked over with sinister gazes.

The Mosquito Beast King let out a screech. Immediately, all the crimson-red Mosquito Beasts simultaneously cleared the path. Evidently, the difference in rank prevented them from blocking it, allowing the blue Mosquito Beast to fly past.

However, the hundreds of blue Mosquito Beasts near the mountain range looked over menacingly. Their screeches instantly echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and their fierce aura gradually rose. They immediately recognized that the blue Mosquito Beast King did not belong to their own tribe, and their hostility was extremely obvious. Several of them even charged out directly, heading straight for the Mosquito Beast King.

These Mosquito Beasts resembled blue shooting stars, rapidly approaching with a whistling sound. But the moment they got close, the Mosquito Beast King, its fierce aura spreading, swiftly dodged with a flicker. Its massive proboscis swept across, stabbing directly at the nearest blue Mosquito Beast.

The blue Mosquito Beast did not retreat amidst its roar; instead, it charged forward, aiming to collide with the Mosquito Beast King. But the moment it struck, the Rule Star, where Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit was condensed on the Mosquito Beast King's body, quickly flashed. Simultaneously, a pressure suddenly descended, enveloping the blue Mosquito Beast.

The blue Mosquito Beast's body immediately shuddered. In the instant it briefly paused, the Mosquito Beast King's sharp proboscis suddenly stabbed deep into the blue Mosquito Beast's body with a loud boom. With a fierce suck, the blue Mosquito Beast's body trembled, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of bones, its essence and blood completely drained by the Mosquito Beast King.

The three blue Mosquito Beasts flying over from the surroundings screeched even more violently, rushing toward the Mosquito Beast King. With blood still clinging to its massive proboscis, the Mosquito Beast King suddenly turned, its eyes revealing fierce flames. It roared and charged out as well, colliding with one of the blue Mosquito Beasts.

With a crash, the blue Mosquito Beast was clearly inferior; it was immediately sent flying by the impact as its wings flapped. But before it could recover, the Mosquito Beast King's proboscis was already upon it, piercing through and sucking it dry, then flying toward another blue Mosquito Beast at an even faster speed.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, unbelievably fast. In an instant, all four blue Mosquito Beasts died one by one. Only the Mosquito Beast King buzzed in mid-air, staring indifferently at the hundreds of blue Mosquito Beasts in front of it.

Song Luohai cautiously hid behind some rocks below the mountain range, suppressing all his aura and revealing nothing. As an Elder of the Jihun Dao, he did not participate in the grand ceremony of the eighth-rank Star Domain; instead, he had been hiding here the entire time.

He had stayed here for three months, slowly advancing with extreme caution. His target was the king among this swarm of Mosquito Beasts.

Song Luohai believed he understood Mosquito Beasts very well. His purpose this time was to capture a Mosquito Beast King to verify his internal conjecture. However, trying to capture a Mosquito Beast King was incredibly difficult, almost impossible. Setting aside how to pass through the vast number of Mosquito Beasts and sneak into the Mosquito Beast King's location, even if he managed to enter, if he couldn't capture it in one blow, any slight mishap would alarm all the Mosquito Beasts. At that point, he admitted he had no confidence in escaping alive.

Three months ago, Song Luohai focused on this swarm of Mosquito Beasts. Based on his analysis, he believed a Mosquito Beast King must exist within this swarm. Therefore, he spent three months stealthily advancing here without alarming the red or blue Mosquito Beasts.

But now, he was in a dilemma, caught between advancing and retreating. This was all because of the two white Mosquito Beasts that suddenly flew here half a month ago. Song Luohai had only seen this type of white Mosquito Beast once, but he clearly perceived the aura and pressure on their bodies, comparable to the nirvana shattering stage.

For this trip, Song Luohai had made very thorough preparations. Based on his analysis, he had a thirty percent chance of success. When he thought about the success of his verification, his name, Song Luohai, would shake the entire eighth-rank Star Domain, and even those Old Monsters with higher cultivation would hurriedly avoid him.

Even the ninth-rank Star Domain might favor him highly. These various benefits made Song Luohai's heart pound, which is why he risked coming here. However, those two white Mosquito Beasts had disrupted everything.

Song Luohai always felt that the two white Mosquito Beasts seemed vaguely aware of his presence, but they clearly hadn't found his hiding spot yet. They currently appeared to be crawling on the mountain range, but if he moved even an inch, he would be instantly noticed.

Over the past half month, Song Luohai felt bitter internally, too nervous to move even slightly. Although his cultivation qualified him as an Elder in the Jihun Dao, he was at the bottom ranks, only at the Middle Stage of nirvana shattering.

Just as Song Luohai was on the verge of despair, he immediately saw a blue Mosquito Beast flying over from a distance. He hadn't paid attention to this initially, nor did he have time to concern himself with matters unrelated to his own crisis.

But the scene that followed greatly astonished him.

He personally saw the lone blue Mosquito Beast instantly suck dry four blue Mosquitoes of the same rank. Furthermore, its fierce aura was extremely high, subtly revealing a challenging posture.

This discovery immediately shook Song Luohai's mind, making him faintly feel that his opportunity seemed to have arrived… The Mosquito Beast King's roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth. Just then, one of the two white Mosquito Beasts crawling on the mountain range coldly glanced at the Mosquito Beast King, screeched, and flashed out, transforming into a beam of white light that plunged directly into the swarm of blue Mosquito Beasts. As the blue Mosquito Beasts scattered and avoided it, the white Mosquito Beast charged straight toward the Mosquito Beast King.

Before it even got close, a heaven-shaking whistling sound erupted. Carrying a frantic impact, it violently collided with the Mosquito Beast King.

With a deafening crash, the Mosquito Beast King's body retreated dozens of yards before suddenly stopping, then screeching and flying forward again.

After knocking the Mosquito Beast King away, the white Mosquito Beast floated motionless in mid-air, its expression sinister, a trace of murderous intent flashing in its eyes. It charged out once more, rushing toward the Mosquito Beast King like white lightning.

The moment the two Mosquito Beasts collided, the Rule Star on the Mosquito Beast King’s body, where Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit resided, suddenly rotated. A mighty force of the heavens and earth descended with a roar, directly enveloping the Mosquito Beast King's entire body, and launched a frantic attack the instant it collided with the white Mosquito Beast.

The moment this force of the heavens and earth appeared, the Mosquito Beasts all around immediately screeched loudly, and the hundreds of blue Mosquito Beasts instantly encircled the area, staring intently at the Mosquito Beast King.

With a massive crash, the white Mosquito Beast's body trembled and was sent flying backward. Its fierce eyes revealed coldness, but with a flap of its wings and a screech, the hooked filaments on its body suddenly shook and instantly lengthened, making the white Mosquito Beast appear to be covered in long hair.

As those hairs spread out, a single glance gave the impression that the white Mosquito Beast had swelled up. Screeching, the white Mosquito Beast charged out, speeding toward the Mosquito Beast King.

The Mosquito Beast King's momentum did not slow; instead, it accelerated. It was still in a growth phase and had rarely fought its own kind throughout its life, acting as if it were learning. The moment it charged out, the hooked filaments all over its body grew wildly amidst a sudden flash of blue light. In the blink of an eye, every single filament reached dozens of yards in size, spreading across its whole body. The moment it charged out, mimicking the white Mosquito Beast, they all broke off, descending like rain and rushing forward with a roar.

With a massive crash, the two rains of filaments collided frantically, creating a series of rumbling sounds. Furthermore, a tremendous impact swept out in all directions, causing the surrounding Mosquito Beasts to retreat rapidly.

The Mosquito Beast King's fierce aura intensified. It burst out of the center of the filament collision, heading straight for the white Mosquito Beast. Crashing sounds echoed as it seemed truly insane, fiercely and continuously colliding. Its massive proboscis sought every opportunity to pierce the white Mosquito Beast's body.

The white Mosquito Beast retreated rapidly. Just then, an extremely powerful aura suddenly burst forth from within the mountain range. This aura exuded a pressure unique to Mosquito Beasts, as if all Mosquito Beasts must submit under this aura!

The moment this aura appeared, the other white Mosquito Beast flew up. Amidst its screech, the entire mountain range rumbled and shook. A gigantic fissure appeared from the mountain's peak, extending all the way to the bottom with cracking sounds, as if someone had forcibly torn the mountain apart.

A purple glow flashed out from the mountain fissure. Simultaneously, an aura carrying a sense of antiquity spread across the heavens and earth. Furthermore, a patch of purple mist appeared within the fissure.

The mist was dense. After appearing, it suddenly contracted, and from within the mist, a ferocious, purple Mosquito Beast, a hundred yards in size, slowly flew out!

This Mosquito Beast was covered in purple filaments. Although they drooped and looked messy, the moment it appeared, all the surrounding Mosquito Beasts, whether crimson-red or blue, immediately fell silent.

Song Luohai's pupils contracted. Staring at the purple Mosquito Beast with messy filaments, a flash of greed crossed his eyes.

“Mosquito King!”

The purple Mosquito King swept its indifferent gaze around, seemingly glancing casually at Song Luohai's hiding spot. Finally, its gaze settled on Wang Lin's Mosquito Beast. After a long moment, it let out a low hiss!
