Chapter 118 Psionic Phase Control Array!
The Imperial Army Insects are extremely powerful; their speed, strength, and defense have reached a level that threatens or even surpasses that of Sixth Awakening Psionicists.

It is the most dangerous Zerg unit known to humankind!

Even so, it was unable to withstand the combined attack of multiple captain-level powerhouses at the same time.

The captain who led the first attack was none other than champion Yang Chen!

He held a halberd, his blood-red cloak fluttering even without wind, and activated his spiritual power, transforming into a Martial Saint!
Blood and qi surged, and the skin all over the body turned crimson.

Unleash your power, become invincible!
Golden light shone from his eyes, and his physical strength surged once again!
Then, he kicked his legs hard, and the aftershocks of his stride shattered the buildings behind him.

Like a crimson meteor, it streaked across the sky and crashed directly into the Imperial Guard Insect. A series of sonic booms erupted; it was even faster than the Imperial Guard Insect!
The Imperial Guard Insect clearly sensed the threat. Its muscles bulged, and its four arms instantly clenched together, the thick, sturdy bony armor on its arms forming its most formidable barrier. The sharp bone spikes were even more terrifying. This was its defensive measure; facing Champion Yang Chen, it dared not be careless, nor dared to launch an attack. Only this thick armor could offer it a sliver of safety.

If Yang Chen were to slow down due to fear of the bone spurs, it would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

However, the next second, the crimson meteor completely ignored the danger of the bone spikes and directly and precisely struck the closed bone armor of the Imperial Guard Insect's arm.

A tremendous roar echoed across the battlefield, and the Forbidden Army Insect, which was twenty meters tall, was blasted hundreds of meters away. The bone armor on its arm shattered, and blood flowed freely.

Such immense strength? And physical prowess even surpasses mine?

After a brief moment of surprise, the Forbidden Army Insect quickly twisted its body, preparing to dissipate the force and recover.

But then he saw the javelins behind Yang Chen scattered in mid-air. Yang Chen grabbed one of the javelins and threw it with all his might!
With a 'whoosh,' the Imperial Guard Insect heard the sonic boom only after the javelin struck the armor on its chest.

The javelin was like a toothpick to the Imperial Army Insect, but it was very powerful. It not only cracked the thick bone armor, but also sent the insect flying horizontally again from its mid-air position.

Yang Chen seemed unwilling to let it land, and continued to throw javelins, striking the thick bony armor of the Imperial Guard Insects with swift and precise movements, sending the insects flying repeatedly.

In the blink of an eye, the Forbidden Army Insect was sent flying more than 700 meters.

Finally, Yang Chen kicked the bottom of a javelin, delivering the most violent blow.

It directly disintegrated the bony armor on the chest of the Imperial Army Insect, but was blocked by its psionic barrier.

"Is it over?" the Imperial Guard Insect thought. Even without its bone armor, it still had the ability to escape the battlefield. It even had to thank the human champion for sending it flying so far.

However, a figure stared at it as it flew through the air.

It was a short-haired woman wearing red armor.

He is Lieyang, the second captain of the West City branch and a Sixth Awareness Psionicist of the Myriad Manifestations Path!

The next second, a giant golden three-legged bird appeared behind Lieyang. It was... the mythical three-legged golden crow!

Mimicry: The Golden Crow Under the Blazing Sun!
That is the mythical beast Golden Crow, which in mythology is the incarnation of the blazing sun.

But she was mimicked by the path of all phenomena, causing her to transform into the blazing sun!
A massive fireball condensed in mid-air and then exploded with a deafening roar!

In an instant, the violent light and heat almost illuminated the entire fog of disaster. Like a giant bomb exploding, the terrifying heat and impact struck the Imperial Guard Insects in mid-air!

The airborne Forbidden Army Insects were blasted into the ground, creating a crater nearly 100 meters wide.

But the Imperial Army Insect still did not die. It twisted its burning body and resolutely rose from the crater.

However, it saw that outside the crater, the debris in the ruins was rapidly floating and coalescing, eventually transforming into a giant sword high in the sky.

That was a sword even larger than the Imperial Guard Insect!
A middle-aged man with graying temples stood at the base of the sword, looking indifferently at the Imperial Guards below from high above.

The captain of the headquarters team, and currently the strongest captain in the Disaster Mist, is a veteran who fought alongside the Old Mad King on the battlefield. He is a seventh-level psychic with the Divine Path and a Sword Madman!

The giant sword crashed down like a meteorite!

The Imperial Guard Insect was terrified, only to find its body paralyzed. Crimson lightning had somehow spread throughout its body, completely locking it in place. It was Moonshadow's vast Thunder Pool! Within the Thunder Pool, even if one survived, the electric shocks would paralyze them!
The Imperial Guard Insect could only watch helplessly as the giant sword crashed down, unable to dodge.

It futilely waved its four arms, trying to withstand the giant sword.

However, it was pressed down by immense force, all the bones in its arms were broken, and its body was mercilessly pierced. At that moment, the mad roar of the Imperial Guard Insects resounded throughout the entire Disaster Fog.

One insect served four captains; it could be considered a fitting end.

On the other side, Li Yelai, who was watching this scene from afar, was extremely shocked.

The killing of the Imperial Guard Insects had nothing to do with him.

Even with his special abilities, he couldn't participate in battles at this level, but he still sensed the formidable strength of the captains.

Captain Yang Chen, relying on his formidable physique and strength, was able to send the 20-meter-tall Imperial Guard Insects flying hundreds of meters in succession. This is the true path of martial arts! One enhancement after another, techniques are layered upon one, culminating in a decisive punch!
And that captain who transformed into a three-legged golden crow must be the Path of Myriad Manifestations, right? He's practically a human nuclear bomb! I wonder if my future Myriad Manifestations abilities will be able to achieve such a mythical level of mimicry?
Even with the strongest facial recognition abilities, they can only be used individually. Ultimately, the main focus should be on one's own multifaceted path abilities.

As for the giant sword behind it, it truly broadened Li Ye's horizons. So this is how Divine Control can be used?

"Too powerful," Li Yelai murmured.

"You're very strong too. You saved many people. You lured away many advanced insectoids and even fought your way out of the abyss worm's body. Even disregarding your strength, your actions are incredibly powerful." The doll beside him responded softly, its words making no attempt to hide its praise for Li Yelai.

Indeed, judging solely from his actions, Li Yelai traversed the swarm, attracting numerous high-level insectoids, and ultimately burst forth from the mouth of the abyssal worm, thus drawing out the dangerous Imperial Army insects.

In the words of Li Yunyan, Li Yelai chose the strategy with the most comments! In reality, Li Yelai did so because he had a captain-level powerhouse backing him up.

But who can deny Li Yelai's power?
Even if someone denies it, the human warriors he saved will not agree.

"However," the doll turned to look at Li Yelai, its face showing a smile and affection, "it just smells a little bit bad."

At the same time, a smiling face appeared on the billboard behind her. [(▽*)]
"The abyssal worms don't care about oral hygiene at all," Li Yelai muttered, looking at his blood-stained armor.

Li Yelai, who had been spat out by the abyss worm, did indeed have a very strong odor at this moment.

But the doll only made some complaints; it didn't distance itself from Li Ye.

At this moment, Li Yelai removed his mask and followed the doll quickly toward the human defense line.

The plan has succeeded; the swarm's hidden trump card has been revealed.

His psionic energy was almost depleted, and it was time for him to go back.

The dolls were the final safeguard for Li Yelai's return in the Moon Shadow Project.

The surrounding swarm of insects, intimidated by the doll, scattered in panic the moment they saw its face. They certainly didn't dare to attack the two of them.

Even though the war insects, under the command of the strategist insect, blocked their vision and launched an attack on the doll and Li Yelai.

But the next second, it will be crushed by the weight of the doll.

Even without the curse, the doll is a five-sense psychic. If given time to prepare, her destructive power is no less than that of any captain, which is why she is called a captain-level powerhouse.

Soon, under the cover of the dolls, Li Ye returned to the outside of the human defense line.

The doll put her doll headgear back on, concealing her beautiful yet unappreciated exquisite face.

This immediately stirred the nearby swarm of insects. Without the doll's fear-suppressing influence, they wanted to launch another attack on the two. However, a familiar flame ignited in the nearby swarm. Jing Lin peeked out from behind cover, staring intently at the insects, and shouted, "Hurry, here!"

Clearly, Jing Lin used the Heavenly Fire Eye to ignite the insect swarm, covering the two's retreat. The remaining human warriors also provided full-force fire support.

This allowed the two to quickly and safely enter the defensive line.

One of the handlers also helped Li Ye retrieve the large black umbrella from the battlefield.

The human warriors looked at Li Yelai with a mixture of respect and goodwill.

This made Li Yelai realize that his previous choice was not wrong. However, Li Yelai also knew that he was still a poor imitator of a hero.
"If only I could save lives," Li Yelai sighed inwardly.

As the Forbidden Army Insects fell, the swarm's offensive gradually weakened.

Once several captains appeared and the Zerg's Imperial Guard was defeated, the Zerg swarm had no chance of achieving its objective.

Soon, the intensity of the battle decreased until the swarm was completely out of sight.

Only then did the human warriors breathe a sigh of relief.

Then came the even busier task of rebuilding the defenses, constructing fortifications, moving the wounded, and burning the corpses that hadn't been carried away by the swarm.

However, Li Yelai's colleagues politely declined his offer of help.

They thought Li Yelai needed to rest, and that the smell was too strong.

Li Yelai could only return to the branch, change out of his armor, and take a long, hot shower. He then put on a thick military overcoat, finally washing away the unpleasant smell.

A few hours later, Li Yelai learned that Benlei had been rescued.

It is said that Benlei himself has awakened.

This surprised Li Yelai and his colleagues.

But they didn't know.

The senior officials of the giant city now looked solemn.

In the branch's ward, Benlei's mutilated body was submerged in a life support pod.

He has regained consciousness, but he is still very weak, so weak that the doctors are afraid to let him leave the life support pod.

Meanwhile, the captains listened quietly to the intelligence that Benlei was giving them, standing beside the life support pod.

It turns out that after being swallowed by the disaster fog at the beginning, they were not immediately surrounded and killed.

Because there were also a considerable number of extraordinary creatures in the disaster fog, which were also swallowed up by the fog, and even large areas of forests and grasslands were taken away by the disaster fog.

As a result, in the underground fog, Benlei and his companions saw a large number of extraordinary creatures and swarms of insects fighting each other.

We also saw the underground network constructed by the swarm of insects.

It was these extraordinary creatures that diverted some of the swarm's attention from Thunderstrike's Ranger squads and the Iron Guards.

However, the Fogfrontier cannot be traversed from the inside; they can only move through the underground network constructed by the swarm amidst the chaos of battles between the insectoids and otherworldly beings. Their hope is to escape this underground space.

Then, they witnessed a horrific hunt.

A transcendent creature at the seventh level of awakening, the Black Emperor Dragon!

It was an ecological apex existence in a certain area of ​​the Doomsday Forest, but it was besieged by the Zerg swarm in the underground network. It killed countless Zerg, and even tore hundreds of the higher Zerg to pieces, but its death from exhaustion was inevitable.

Knowing that he could not escape, the Black Emperor Dragon decided to go deep into the depths of the Calamity Mist, hoping to kill the Calamity Mist Ruler.

It can only survive by killing the ruler.

So, when it found Benlei and the others, it asked for human help.

But Thunderbolt couldn't help it. A few humans with third or fourth senses and a few Iron Guards were nothing in front of the swarm of insects.

However, Benlei and his group also wanted to pinpoint the location of the Fog Overlord for the main human force. So they followed Black Emperor, venturing deep into the Zerg's underground network, reaching unprecedented depths. They paid a heavy price to reach the heart of the underground network.

Then, they all stopped before that massive barrier. They couldn't even see the Zerg Overmind.

Deep within the underground network, the Zerg Overlord has constructed a massive wall of flesh and blood. Each Zergling is born from this wall, and it hides behind it.

The Black Emperor Dragon, already exhausted, was simply unable to break through this barrier.

Driven to despair, the Black Emperor engaged in a final battle with the surging swarm of insects. Finally, it exploded with a deafening roar.

The human teams that didn't have time to retreat were also affected.

Thunderbolt did not give up. He led his remaining teammates to try to escape back to the surface and bring back news of the Zerg swarm.

But in the end, his comrades fell one by one, and the seriously wounded Benlei was swallowed by a war insect in the battle.

He only regained his senses a few hours ago, tearing open the insect's abdomen to escape.

“Each division should be able to detect the epicenter of the explosion, which is the location of the Swarm Overlord,” Benlei revealed his final intelligence.

Sword Maniac stared at Thunder for a long time, then looked at the two psionicists beside him.

The first psychic nodded slightly: "His memories have not been altered."

The second psionicist nodded: "It's not a lie."

Sword Maniac frowned slightly upon hearing this: "So, even if we go deep underground and navigate the underground network labyrinth created by the swarm of insects, we'll still have to face a flesh barrier that even the Black Emperor Dragon can't tear apart? Is there any forbidden item that can break through this flesh barrier?"

"A Class B forbidden item, the Shattered Star Spear should be possible, but it would require a long preparation time."

This caused all the team captains present to fall silent.

Even if they pinpointed the location of the Calamity Mist Overlord, simply venturing into the underground labyrinth would consume a massive amount of manpower. Not to mention the final human defenses. Where would they find the time to use the Star-Shattering Spear, which requires a lengthy preparation period?

Black Fatalis is the best example.

After a long silence, Sword Madman spoke up: "Immediately determine the location of the Calamity Mist Overlord. At the same time, each department should prepare to select suitable psionicists."

"Choose? You mean..." Yang Chen frowned.

"Since we're all going to die anyway, then... activate the psionic phase control array!"

"Are you telling us to choose our teammates to die?" Lieyang's expression changed.

The psionic phased array can indeed unleash terrifying power, but the price is that many psionicists detonate their own soul wells!
"I will go with them," Sword Madman replied calmly. "I'll be the center of the formation!"
