Xiang Yu grunted, and most of his Overlord Halberd pierced into the body of the Mother of the Locusts.
However, the Mother of the Moths managed to catch the downward-slashing Overlord's Halberd in time and escaped in a flash.
"Your weapon can actually break my True Body!" The Mother of the Moth never expected that she had misjudged it. This halberd, which had no magical fluctuations, actually possessed the attack power of a celestial treasure.
"Even the True Body has varying strengths; yours is still insufficient." Xiang Yu had just withstood a blow from the Mother of the Locusts and almost vomited blood. This was strength surpassing that of a True Immortal! Truly powerful!
"Is that so? Then I'll really have to show you my true skills." After saying that, the Mother of the Moth transformed into her true form, an enormous white three-headed jade worm with a crystal-clear body, as if it were carved from crystal.
Moreover, its enormous body has four pairs of milky-white cicada wings on its back, which shimmer and have colorless runes that appear faintly, making it exceptionally beautiful.
However, the mother of the moths looks extremely ferocious, because each of its heads has many eyes, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and too many hands and feet to count.
roar!
With a hiss, the mother moth swung her scythe-like forelimbs and slashed down at Xiang Yu with lightning speed.
Xiang Yu neither dodged nor evaded, but blocked the attack head-on with his Overlord's Halberd.
Clang!
The human body is like an ant compared to the mother of the locust, yet Xiang Yu blocked it, and seemed to handle it with ease.
The mother of the moths nearly popped her eyes out. "How is this possible!"
If it were its previous self before encountering the Insect God, being blocked by this attack would be normal, but now its True Body has been perfected, and its cultivation has also improved by a level, reaching the Golden Immortal level.
creak creak creak...
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and persevered, but at this moment he was flying in the air with no footing, so he could not fully exert his strength.
Meanwhile, the Mother of the Moths was also exerting all her strength, gradually suppressing Xiang Yu, while simultaneously wielding another giant scythe to attack from below.
"Humans, die!"
Chapter 527 Divine Gear
The mother moth attacked Xiang Yu from above and below with her two huge, sickle-shaped forelimbs. If he didn't dodge, he would be severely injured. His divine halberd was simply no match for her.
Xiang Yu sighed inwardly. The human body was still too weak. No matter how high one's martial arts skills or how great one's strength, one could only be at a disadvantage. Even if he had two divine halberds, it would be useless because the Mother of the Locusts had more sickle-like forelimbs. This was an unfair duel from the start.
"Overlord, there's no need to sigh. You're only at the mid-stage of the Overlord Realm, which is equivalent to the Mahayana Realm. The Mother of the Cicadas was already a formidable character who could fight two True Immortals to a draw. Now, with the system's assistance, her strength is probably even greater than that of an ordinary Golden Immortal. So it's normal that you couldn't withstand her attacks in the air."
Hao Jiu had long seen that Xiang Yu intended to fight the Mother of the Locusts head-on, so after entering the underground palace, he kept improving Xiang Yu's strength, causing his attribute points to increase wildly. Coupled with the powerful characteristics of the Overlord Divine Halberd, this gave Xiang Yu the ability to contend with the Mother of the Locusts, even if he was two levels higher.
However, it is still difficult to gain the upper hand in the confrontation, after all, the difference in physical fitness is too great. The mother of the moth is definitely a heavyweight and has so many claws.
"Hmm? Perhaps there is a way." Hao Jiu's eyes darted around. "Would you like to learn the Nirvana Three-Headed Six-Armed Overlord technique?"
"Is there any other way?" Xiang Yu didn't think that having three heads and six arms was that strong. The three heads were mainly for having no blind spots in vision, and the six arms could withstand attacks from all directions. But in reality, it was difficult to use the six arms and weapons without them interfering with each other.
Hao Jiu pondered for a moment, "There is also a way. Let the Overlord use the Emperor's Sword to hold out for a while, and I will modify the Divine Halberd."
"Good!" Xiang Yu said, then switched to two Emperor Swords, wielding two swords in one hand and dancing with them simultaneously.
The Mother of the Moths' eyes bulged, "Two immortal swords!"
"Don't worry, this person is indeed following the path of mystical cultivation and cannot unleash the true power of the immortal sword. If you can kill this person, all these treasures are yours."
"However, your True Body is already fully formed, so it doesn't matter whether you use a celestial sword or not. What weapon do you want? I can make one for you, but only after we kill this person."
The Insect God cursed under his breath. The plane was under lockdown, but the other side had come prepared, catching him completely off guard. He wished he could have successfully bound the plane sooner.
After a moment's thought, the Mother of the Moth abandoned the idea of using weapons, for her own body was the strongest weapon. "Then I'll try my best to enhance my True Body!"
"No problem, that's what I was thinking too. Humans don't have a body as strong as yours, so they make magical artifacts to compensate. Our insect race's body is a perfect combination of offense and defense, the strongest in all realms!" the Insect God said proudly.
"And I am the strongest of the Zerg!" The Mother of the Zerg roared, and several sharp, spiky limbs detached from her body with a series of crackling sounds, piercing through Xiang Yu's afterimage like flying swords, before launching a frenzied attack.
Xiang Yu kept using teleportation to dodge the attacks, but there were just too many spikes, and many still hit him. Fortunately, his domineering energy armor absorbed most of the attack power, and Xiang Yu avoided vital points, so his injuries were all minor.
"You think I can't do anything to you? Xuan Tian Spiritual Domain!" The Mother of the Moths roared in anger, and the gray-white halo around her body began to spin rapidly, faster and faster.
After a blur, all the light in the abyss dimmed, the halo flashed and disappeared, dark clouds rolled in the sky, the sea below turned gray, and countless points of light converged from all directions.
When the points of light got closer, Xiang Yu could see that they were actually skulls, with white ghostly fire flickering in their eye sockets, a terrifying sight that seemed to cover the sky.
That's not all. As these skulls appeared, Xiang Yu instantly felt the surrounding space become somewhat stagnant. Even when he used the Overlord's Moon-Shaving Step, his movement speed was much slower, but the spikes released by the Mother of the Locusts were unaffected.
Clang clang clang...
Puff puff puff...
Xiang Yu grunted, opened the alternate dimension and entered it. Countless Mahayana-level moths immediately swarmed around him.
After swallowing a mid-level healing potion, Xiang Yu teleported, opened the door, and instantly appeared inside the body of the Mother of the Locusts!
Swish, swish, swish...
Puff puff puff...
The two Emperor's Swords flew up and down, slicing the organs inside the mother of the moth to pieces.
However, the mother of the moths was too large, so this injury was nothing.
"Damn it!" the Mother of the Moth roared, and countless black lines of time appeared inside her body, frantically wrapping around Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu flashed into the alternate dimension again, and continued his fierce attacks in a place without the black lines of time. His domineering energy transformed into a storm of sword blades that swept outwards!
Aww!
The mother of the moth let out a scream. She never expected that the other party could freely enter and exit her body. It was simply outrageous!
The Insect God was also dumbfounded. Did the other party's system have so many supernatural powers? This kind of spatial supernatural power was unheard of. It was simply too useful! With such a cheat, there would be few rivals in all the heavens and myriad realms.
"Mother of the moths, shrink your body and drive him away!" As soon as the mythical insect god finished speaking, the Mother of the moths shrank her body several times over.
This was actually a last resort. Having a huge body has its advantages, as the wounds are relatively smaller. However, if the opponent can unleash various powerful attacks inside her body, the current size of the Mother of the Pests is not big enough.
Therefore, in this situation, it would be better to shrink it. After shrinking, the black line of time can fill the entire body, leaving no blind spots or loopholes to exploit.
Just then, Hao Jiu laughed three times, "Hahaha, it's done! The Overlord Divine Halberd has been upgraded to the Overlord Divine Armor!"
"Overlord's Divine Armor?" Xiang Yu was completely bewildered. The Overlord's Divine Halberd in his hand looked exactly the same as the original, but he now had a set of armor on his body.
The armor was as thin as a cicada's wing and pitch black, yet it gave Xiang Yu a sense of familiarity. "Drinking God transformed the original Overlord's Halberd into a divine halberd and a suit of armor?"
"Haha, that's right. This Ruyi Divine Iron is a real treasure. Wouldn't it be a waste to just make it into a weapon? Don't doubt it, the current Overlord Divine Halberd has become a very thin hollow weapon, just like an inflatable toy."
"An inflatable toy?" Xiang Yu was puzzled, but the Overlord Divine Halberd in his hand looked exactly the same as before, but it was several times heavier than before, weighing a full 108,000 jin!
"Uh, don't worry about the details. Unless you encounter a divine weapon that is superior to the Overlord Divine Halberd in terms of materials, you have nothing to fear from physical attacks."
Hao Jiu spent a lot of energy to transform the Overlord Divine Halberd into the Overlord Divine Armor. He wanted to see just how divine this iron was and whether the hollow-core equipment could achieve the expected results.
Xiang Yu's eyes lit up, "We'll know once we try!"
Clang clang clang...
Sparks are flying everywhere!
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu charged towards the Mother of the Pests despite the countless spikes, and swung his Overlord Divine Halberd in a powerful slash through the air!
"Break!"
boom!!!
Chapter 528 Suppression
boom!
Click!
One of the forelimbs of the Mother Moth snapped off, startling it into spitting out a large net made of black threads of time. During the battle, the Mother Moth had already noticed that Xiang Yu seemed to be very afraid of the laws of time.
A flash of green light.
puff!
"Agh!" The mother moth let out a miserable cry as Xiang Yu cleaved her middle head in two!
Xiang Yu had just opened a portal to another dimension in front of him, which closed instantly after the black threads of time were inserted. Any of the Mahayana-level moths that were touched by the black net were turned to ashes.
"What a divine weapon!" Xiang Yu teleported away from the giant mouth of the Mother of the Locusts and was very satisfied with the weight of the new weapon.
One of the characteristics of the Ruyi Divine Iron is that its weight can be changed by injecting energy. Originally, it would increase the weight by about one kilogram for every 1 energy point consumed, but that was calculated based on the weight of the complete Ruyi Divine Iron.
The current Overlord Divine Halberd is just an empty shell; when folded together, it's only about one-tenth of its original volume. Therefore, it now requires more energy to reach the target weight.
Of course, this is no problem for Hao Jiu. He has plenty of energy, so he can't afford to waste it, but he certainly won't be stingy when it comes to using it properly.
As long as this divine equipment achieves the expected results, the energy spent will not have been in vain.
Judging from the results of the experiment, it was quite good. The attack power of the Overlord's Divine Halberd was not weakened, and the spikes released by the Mother of the Locusts could not pierce through the thin layer of armor.
However, there is a problem: the Ruyi Divine Iron cannot completely block all attacks. Just like ordinary armor, the opponent's powerful force can be transmitted through the Divine Iron armor and injure Xiang Yu.
Fortunately, Xiang Yu was physically strong and could withstand this level of shock damage. Moreover, Xiang Yu was wearing the virtual equipment, the Thorn Armor, which could reflect 40% of the physical damage he received back to his opponent as magical damage.
While attacking Xiang Yu, the Mother of the Locusts also had to endure the backlash, but it could tolerate all of that. However, it couldn't bear losing one of its heads.
Fortunately, the mother borer's body was still enormous even after shrinking, otherwise that attack would have resulted in more than just her head being split in two.
The Insect God was startled. This person actually possessed the strength to fight against a Golden Immortal, so he must be at least a peak True Immortal.
"Go all out and don't be afraid of getting hurt, I'll heal you."
The head of the Mother of the Moths instantly returned to normal. "I have an indestructible body, so it won't be so easy for him to kill me. But this person's methods are strange, and the chances of winning a fight against him are slim. Didn't you say there was a way to get out of here?"
The Insect God's lips twitched violently. The entire plane was sealed off, so where could he run?
"To tell you the truth, this dimension has been sealed off. Only by killing him can I take you away from here!"
"Heh, then raise me to the next level." The Mother of the Moths grew larger again. Compared to having her head chopped off, it was less important for the other party to enter her body. Perhaps she could even use the Law of Time to kill him.
"Do you think advancing in realm is so easy? It requires an enormous amount of my energy! Besides, this is the Demon Realm; this is the highest combat power I can reach here!"
The Insect God cursed under his breath. He had thought that he would be invincible after raising the Mother of the Moth to this level, but he had encountered a Xuan Immortal at the peak of True Immortal, and a Xuan Immortal with high-level divine treasures and strange spatial abilities.
"Then let's kill him!" The Mother of the Moths didn't actually have high hopes for the Insect God; in the crucial moment, she still had to rely on herself.
