Chapter 742: Source-Devouring Boundless Realm

Zhou Huai found himself in the darkness.

There was no light and no sound.

A piercing chill closed in from all directions.

"Is this the stomach space of the Quasi-God Level Alligator Snapping Turtle?" Zhou Huai floated in the darkness.

This space shielded perception, and the speed at which time passed also became vague.

"Playing the ghost!"

Zhou Huai let out a cold snort as Gandalf's magic power circulated within his body.

"Forbidden Spell: Meteor Fire Rain!"

"Forbidden Spell: Blazing Blade Storm!"

Accompanied by Zhou Huai's low shout, the Soul-Devouring Nether Flame transformed into fiery meteors, mixed with wind blades, lighting up in the darkness.

However, the unexpected occurred.

When the forbidden Spells touched the edge of the dark space, they did not stir up any ripples, and not even the fiery light of an explosion could light up.

No boundary could be seen; the energy was swallowed by this darkness.

Taking advantage of the gap while he was casting Spells, the chill began to erode his body, attempting to freeze his blood along with his Soul.

From the Void Realm, the echo of the Extreme Ice Empress came.

"Give up, you worldly ant!"

"In the absolute space of the Abyssal Profound Ice Alligator Turtle, all your attacks of Law are invalid!"

"Feel despair! In less than a moment or three, your Physical Body and Soul will both be digested in this extreme cold, becoming my nourishment! Hhahahaha!"

Facing the ridicule of the Extreme Ice Empress, Zhou Huai did not panic.

He hovered in the darkness and began to laugh.

"Digest me?"

"Old hag, I'm afraid this little tortoise of yours doesn't have such a good stomach!" Zhou Huai's voice pierced through the darkness: "I want to see whether I can break the defense of your tortoise shell or not!"

As his words fell, Zhou Huai's eyes lit up with a dark golden light.

He no longer used Spells, raised his right hand, and compressed the Law of Death belonging to the SSS-Rank Imperial Heaven Ancestral Dragon Rider Arthur within his palm.

A cluster of blood-colored light lit up in the darkness.

"Condense here—Abyssal Blood Death Seal!"

The blood-colored mark circulated on his fist, exuding an aura of death.

Since the internal space of this Alligator Snapping Turtle formed a world of its own, it had to be broken with power above the rules!

Zhou Huai held his breath, and the golden light of Karma from the Great Sage Li Er lit up within his body.

He punched forward with his right hand bearing the Abyssal Blood Death Seal, invoked the Word of Law with his mouth, and let out a loud shout:

"Break for me—break!!!"

"Bang—!!!"

This punch, fusing physical destructive power, the Law of Death, and the Heavenly Dao rules of the Word of Law, struck heavily upon the dark nothingness!

"Crack!"

The sound of shattering rang out in the space.

Amid the exclamation of the Extreme Ice Empress, blood-colored cracking patterns emerged in the dark space!

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

The voice of the Extreme Ice Empress showed panic, "How could you shake the spatial barrier of the absolute space with Physical Body strength?!"

"There are many more impossible things!"

Zhou Huai let out a loud laugh, exerted force from his waist, channeled his power into his left arm, and delivered another heavy punch, striking the center of the cracks!

"Open for me!"

"Bang—!!!"

Amid the roaring sound, Zhou Huai punched a breach out of this dark space!

Blood-colored light penetrated through the breach.

Outside the breach was no longer darkness, but the beating internal organs and flesh walls of the Alligator Snapping Turtle!

Outside, above the ruins of the Ise Grand Shrine.

"Roar—!!!"

The Abyssal Profound Ice Alligator Turtle let out a wail!

Its massive body began to tremble, its four limbs scratched at the ice surface, and every struggle triggered tremors.

In mid-air, Chun, sitting on the back of the Magic Dragon Xiao Hei, looked at the appearance of the Alligator Snapping Turtle below and began to laugh.

She reached out and patted Xiao Hei's dragon horns, smiling: "Look, I told you that brat wouldn't die so easily."

"This old tortoise is also pitifully stupid; swallowing its master into its stomach is the most stupid decision it has ever made in its life."

Hearing this, Xiao Hei let out a low roar: "Ang—!"

"Ahhh! What did you do inside my pet's stomach?!"

The scream of the Extreme Ice Empress echoed above the ruins.

Zhou Huai inside the belly heard this scream and began to laugh.

He did not stop, forming seals with both hands in front of his chest as the power belonging to the Insect Emperor Caesar surged within his body!

"What am I doing? Of course, eating you, this old turtle, clean from the inside out!"

Zhou Huai pushed both hands forward and shouted loudly: "Soldier Beetle swarm, come out for me!"

"Buzz buzz buzz—!"

Accompanied by the sound of fluttering wings, dark red Soldier Beetles surged out from within Zhou Huai's body!

One hundred thousand, one million, ten million!

Tens of millions of Soldier Beetles filled the flesh-and-blood space outside the breach of the Alligator Snapping Turtle!

At this time, the Insect Emperor Caesar fused within Zhou Huai's body had long crossed the major milestone of Rank 40, and after the AI upgrade, comprehended a brand-new skill!

The System prompt tone rang in Zhou Huai's mind:

[Ding! Insect Emperor Caesar LV40 exclusive skill has been activated—Swarm Law: Source-Devouring Boundless Realm!]

[Skill Effect: When the summoned Soldier Beetles devour the target, they will ignore the opponent's Physical Body and Law defense, and can accelerate the absorption of the opponent's life Origin and power to feedback themselves for evolution!]

"Little ones, it's time to eat! Eat to your heart's content for me!"

At Zhou Huai's command, tens of millions of Soldier Beetles pounced toward the flesh walls and internal organs of the Alligator Snapping Turtle outside the breach!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The dense sound of gnawing merged into a cacophony.

These Soldier Beetles, which originally feared the extreme cold, under the blessing of [Swarm Law: Source-Devouring Boundless Realm], took a bite and ignored the profound ice defense layer inside the Alligator Snapping Turtle, tearing off flesh and blood!

With every bite they took, the appearance of these Soldier Beetles was undergoing changes!

On their dark red carapaces, dark blue ice crystal patterns began to spread.

The batch of Soldier Beetles that bit off flesh and blood first grew ice crystal skin identical to the Alligator Snapping Turtle on their bodies, exuding a chill!

"Th-this… what kind of monsters are these?! They are absorbing the Profound Ice Origin?!"

The voice of the Extreme Ice Empress carried fear: "Stop! Quick, stop!"

Under the gnawing of tens of millions of Soldier Beetles, the wound on the internal flesh wall of the Alligator Snapping Turtle began to expand.

Fresh blood gushed out, but it was sucked clean by those evolved Soldier Beetles.

The Alligator Snapping Turtle outside was rolling on the ground in pain, its massive tortoise shell smashing the surrounding glaciers to pieces.

"Roar—!!!"

The pain drove the Alligator Snapping Turtle into madness, and it could no longer afford to hold back its strength, beginning to release elemental skills within its own body!

"Rumble!"

Inside the Alligator Snapping Turtle, ice spikes condensed out of thin air, mixed with a blizzard, strangling toward Zhou Huai and the Soldier Beetle swarm!

"Want to resist? Too late!"

Zhou Huai suspended in mid-air, bringing his hands together in a clasp.

"Gabriel—Absolute Holy Shield!"

"Hum!"

Holy Light lit up, and an angel shield propped open inside the Alligator Snapping Turtle, protecting Zhou Huai in the center.

The ice spikes impacted against the holy shield, emitting a roar, but could not break through Zhou Huai's defense fused with Ten Thousand Aspects into One!

However, those Soldier Beetles scattered everywhere on the flesh walls to gnaw could not all be covered by the shield.

Under the ravaging of the extreme cold elements inside the Alligator Snapping Turtle, a large number of Soldier Beetles that had not yet fully evolved were frozen into ice sculptures, and then shattered into powder.
