Chapter 77 Six-winged Golden Cicada

Chapter 77: Six-winged Golden Cicada

Sword Qi nine revolutions, sweeping through the firmament!

At this moment, Lin Fan was like a Sword Saint, every move possessing immense Divine Might, indestructible, unbreakable, sharp, and overbearing.

At the same time, a divine disc rose, appearing from the Void Realm behind him, with black and white Qi flowing within it, stirring up Chaos Qi.

Looking at it, it was vast and sacred, like an Innate Dao diagram, causing this heaven and earth to become unstable and chaotic.

However, a miraculous scene occurred: the flames released by the Golden Cicada’s divine lamp rapidly decayed and turned into dust under the illumination of that divine disc.

It was at this moment that Lin Fan quickly advanced, moving in close to the Golden Cicada, holding a divine sword as dreamy as jade, and striking at the Golden Cicada's neck.

“Oh no, the Golden Cicada is in danger!” someone shouted.

No one expected that the Butian Sect’s First Generation still possessed the ability to corrupt, capable of nullifying the power of treasures, reaching a state of invulnerability to all methods.

“Roar…”

Just as Lin Fan was about to sever the opponent's head, the Golden Cicada transformed, with mist rolling, and a Heavenly Cicada actually appeared in its place.

It was about six zhang long, with six thin wings, its entire body golden, its cicada wings like sharp blades, and its outer shell hard, thicker than armor.

“The Six-winged Heavenly Cicada, the head of the Five Ancient Insects?!” Everyone was shocked, recognizing the creature.

This was a rare species among the Heavenly Cicada clan, known as the First Acquired Ferocious Insect.

Don't let its harmless and extremely delicate appearance fool you; it is actually very ferocious, specializing in eating living beings.

Its appetite is like a bottomless pit, as if it can never be full, comparable to the ancient Taotie, and any living being that encounters it will only end up as food.

“Your Western Sect has quite the spirit, to take in such a ferocious insect as a successor. Aren't you afraid of future backlash?” an Elder of the Jietian Sect said faintly.

“Dao brother, you are unaware; the Golden Cicada has long been enlightened by our Sect Leader, and its ferocity and tyranny are gone,” the Western Sect’s person said with a calm smile.

That person said no more. It was well known that besides their unparalleled Physical Body, the Western Sect’s ability to enlighten was also exceptional, reigning supreme in Sumeru Province, with absolute authority.

Because any living being that dared to oppose them would inexplicably be converted and join their School, which was extremely bizarre!

“Clang! Clang!”

At this moment, Lin Fan struck it with a sword, sparks flying and a sound of metal clashing, and said in surprise, “What a hard shell! Even a divine sword can't cut through it!”

Suddenly, the giant Golden Cicada trembled, and the almost transparent six wings on its back flapped rapidly.

With a “chi” sound, Saber Qi crisscrossed, and the cicada wings transformed into six flying blades, all striking towards the opponent.

In an instant, Lin Fan retreated, his Unique Cave Heaven opening behind him, blocking the six blades, causing them to rapidly weather into six wisps of smoke.

Seeing that one strike was unsuccessful, the Golden Cicada transformed back into human form, but on his back were three pairs of transparent, crystal-like cicada wings, sparkling under the sun.

“You forcing out my true form is enough for you to be proud,” he said coldly, his eyes changed, subtly carrying a hint of murderous Qi.

“Heh, if I had reached Spirit Realm Perfection, you would have been cut down by now! But… I really like your cicada wings; they’re excellent Materials for crafting a certain precious garment.”

Lin Fan sneered, then regretfully added, “It’s a pity this is in the Spirit Realm; taking them would be useless.”

“You…” The Golden Cicada was furious upon hearing this, naturally knowing what kind of peerless treasure garment the other party was referring to.

It was precisely the Celestial Silkworm Garment, a rare secret treasure. Wearing it made one invulnerable to blades and spears, impervious to water, fire, and heavenly lightning. It could fuse with flesh and blood, transparent and colorless, making even the Sect Leader’s heart stir.

Moreover, it was extremely rare and difficult to refine; there weren't many pieces of it in the entire Three Thousand Provinces.

This was because this precious garment required transparent Heavenly Cicada wings as Materials, and Heavenly Cicadas had always been rare, with only a few left in the world.

In addition, it also required the elusive Void Immortal Gold, along with several other peerless divine Materials, to be refined into a sacred precious garment.

Therefore, the Celestial Silkworm Garment’s defensive power was astonishing, making it a supreme treasure, far surpassing other armors. Otherwise, why would even the Sect Leader’s heart be stirred?

“Good stuff…”

Lin Fan’s eyes were burning. The Six-winged Golden Cicada was a rare species among Heavenly Cicadas; if he could obtain its cicada wings, he could refine the best Celestial Silkworm Garment.

“You’re asking for death!” the Golden Cicada roared. That gaze was too fervent, treating him as an object and prey—this was simply a monstrous humiliation.

To think that he, a First Generation, a successor of a School, was always glorious and respected by countless living beings wherever he went. When had he ever been treated like this?

Moreover, he hated those who wanted to take his cicada wings to refine Celestial Silkworm Garments; he would kill every one he met.

Because this was the greatest humiliation for the Heavenly Cicada clan.

“Kill!”

The next moment, the Golden Cicada’s entire body turned golden, and as its six wings spread, runes covered them densely, and an ear-splitting sound wave was produced.

Some people present immediately couldn't bear it; blood flowed from their ears, and they even became deaf, their eardrums ruptured. This scene was extremely horrifying.

But everyone knew that the Western Sect’s First Generation was truly enraged, his face grim, completely devoid of his previous solemn appearance, and he had already placed his opponent on his kill list.

It could be said that at this moment, the Golden Cicada no longer concealed himself; his aura surged, and runes boiled like a sea, rushing in all directions.

Clearly, he was about to use his forbidden power.

Even though everyone had already stood far enough away, their hearts still trembled greatly, and a chilling coldness rose, utterly terrifying!

“Oh, your Innate Divine Ability is on your cicada wings? That makes them even more precious. My heart is filled with joy,” Lin Fan remained calm, his words provocative.

Behind him, the divine disc revolved, radiating a brilliant light, carrying an aura of the Great Dao, obliterating the pressing runes, making him appear like a Heavenly God.

“What kind of Dao is that? Is it an Innate Dao diagram?” someone asked, puzzled.

“No, that’s not right… it looks more like a Cave Heaven?!” someone guessed, their eyes wide, as if they had seen a miracle.

“Next, I will tear you into pieces and devour you bit by bit.”

The Golden Cicada’s eyes blazed, full of coldness, and infinite killing intent burst forth, crushing a mountain peak.

In an instant, his six wings glided, turning into a golden rainbow, moving at an incredible speed, far surpassing before, making it difficult for eyes to track.

However, everyone could see that the mountains the Golden Cicada passed through collapsed with a rumble, cut into two sections, with particularly smooth surfaces.

“How powerful! Those cicada wings are like blades, stronger than weapons forged from divine gold!”

Someone exclaimed. If one were cut like that, their body would likely be severed into two halves like those mountain peaks, completely unstoppable.

However, Lin Fan merely stretched his body, sitting cross-legged within his Unique Cave Heaven, like a supreme deity, unmoving as a mountain, directly facing the incoming attack.

“Boom!”

With this strike, Divine Radiance exploded, shaking heaven and earth and making ghosts and gods weep. A great heavenly wind arose, the earth cracked open, forming vast fissures, and roaring sounds shook the cosmos.

But surprisingly, the cicada wings, which were capable of cutting gold and breaking stone, could not cut into the divine disc; they were forcibly stopped in mid-air.

Moreover, under the erosion of the black and white Qi emitted, the Golden Cicada’s six wings became dim and almost completely transparent, as if they were about to disappear.

“I refuse to believe you are truly invulnerable to all methods and that your defense cannot be broken!”
