Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 122 The Spear of Shattered Stars
When Li Yelai opened the Facebook page, the Möbius strip went out of control.

Fate revealed its malicious smile!

The entire underground labyrinth was thrown into chaos by spatial distortion, and the swarms of insects moving through the tunnels were thrown into disarray in an instant.

The underground labyrinth they knew suddenly transformed into a bizarre layout, with the chaotic terrain causing multiple insectoid groups to collide violently.

The strategist insects that were originally in command of the swarms of insects also gave a large number of incorrect orders as a result.

Among them, the most bewildered and astonished was the Zerg Overlord, who sensed that the human forces had instantly crossed dozens of tight defenses and appeared directly near it!

Wait! What happened to my incredibly strong insect swarm defenses?
Those defensive lines contain large swarms of advanced insects, which are powerful tools to stop psionicists.

Even if there are several Imperial Army Insects, they will form the most solid defense line, allowing humanity's most elite forces to be completely exhausted within it.

It was the Zerg's most hoped-for line of defense, but now the humans have bypassed it!

But how exactly did humans manage to get through the defenses?

How is this possible!
The insect lord was shocked and immediately let out a sharp roar, ordering the swarm to immediately return to defense!
Hundreds of meters away, Li Yelai, who had activated his Overlord Mask, was looking at the fork in the pit with the others.

One by one, flares were launched, revealing the dim scenery beneath the illumination.

What was originally the entrance to the next insect swarm defense line has now been transformed into a massive barrier of flesh and blood!
The area where the flesh and blood barrier was located was extremely large, enough to be the size of several football fields.

It is round in shape, like a pulsating tumor. This is the uterus of the swarm, where the swarm absorbs the biomass it devours.

With the input of biomass, tumors squeezed out from the flesh-blood barrier, then rapidly grew and took shape, transforming into new Zerg. Various Zerg species were continuously spawned from the flesh-blood barrier.

Humanity fell into a brief silence upon witnessing this bloody and bizarre scene.

Li Yelai's double pupils stared intently at the flesh and blood barrier. This was where the Insect Lord was. His plan had succeeded after all!

Unfortunately, its weaknesses were constantly shifting. Moreover, the incredibly thick psionic barrier weighed heavily on everyone's minds like a physical object.

Even if Li Yelai could attack the weak point, he wouldn't be able to break through this psionic barrier.

But after a brief silence, the humans broke into ecstatic smiles!
"Success!"

"I'm fucking here!"

"Quick! Prepare the Starshattering Spear!"

The processors excitedly began setting everything up according to plan.

"Good, good, good! Night General, you did a good job! Praise be to misfortune, praise be to humanity!" Sword Maniac laughed wildly the moment he saw the flesh and blood barrier.

His white hair moved without wind, and his bloodshot eyes made him appear both frenzied and excited, like a demon that had spotted its prey!

He once fought alongside the Mad King, facing the forbidden zone head-on.

That reckless, suicidal charge by the man with his sword was a headache even for the creatures of the forbidden zone.

On the battlefield, he wielded a three-foot-long sword to fight against the strongmen of the forbidden zone, and even banished the generals of the forbidden zone many times, earning him the reputation of "Sword Madman" in the forbidden zone!

Even though he was old and frail, he still unleashed a terrifying, frenzied fighting spirit!

That was his curse, but now it has transformed into his most powerful offensive!

"Come out and die, you bug!" he laughed wildly, picking up a javelin that Li Yelai recognized.

That's the Spirit-Slaying Armor!

The Flying Gunner's Psionic Weapon!

In order to deal with the swarm of insects, Sword Maniac finally brought out this extremely rare and powerful weapon.

At the same time, Li Yelai and the others also saw a huge well of souls appear in the void, and a tall figure emerged from it.

That was a white-haired swordsman dressed in white robes and armor, who was none other than the illusory projection of the Sword Maniac!
As the projection appeared, Sword Maniac's body seemed to undergo some changes, and his spiritual energy intensity climbed to its limit!

As a seventh-sense psychic, he goes all out when he makes a move!
Rocks scattered throughout the tunnel flew up rapidly, condensing and compressing in mid-air to form a giant stone sword nearly a hundred meters long. Crimson magma shimmered with light and heat from the sword's cracks. The Spirit-Slaying Armor transformed into the sword's tip.

Sword Maniac stood atop the sword, with a massive well of souls appearing behind him. His projection overlapped with his own, unleashing unprecedented power.

With a flick of his finger, the giant sword pierced the flesh barrier with a terrifying shriek.

He had to test the defensive capabilities of this flesh and blood barrier himself. The Black Dragon couldn't break through the defense, but he might be able to break through it using his Absolute Spirit Armor!
In an instant, a tremendous roar exploded, the passage trembled violently, and all the psionicists felt a tremor.

If the psionicist hadn't taken precautions and the sword maniac hadn't controlled his power so well, even a wisp of psionic pressure would have been enough to crush a low-level psionicist to death.

Connecting to the virtual realm and assimilating the projection—this is the Seventh Sense!
This strike is powerful enough to split mountains!

Even the most solid flesh and blood barrier shook violently, and the furious roar of the swarm overlord could be heard from within.

The Extinction Armor frantically tore at the psionic barrier of the flesh-and-blood barrier. Its powerful anti-psionic effect even severed the connection between the swarm and its lord at one point.

But soon, with the roar of the swarm overlord, the flesh barrier twisted wildly, and the psionic barrier was strengthened once again.

The terrifying psionic energy surged out like a tsunami, giving the handlers a suffocating feeling.

At the same time, the anti-psychic weapon at the tip of the stone greatsword exploded, and the entire greatsword broke apart section by section.

Even anti-psychic forces would not be able to withstand this level of psychic energy for long.

The powerful psionic barrier of the flesh and blood fortress ultimately blocked the attacks of the anti-psionic weapons and the greatsword, but the newly spawned swarm of insects was killed by the powerful psionic energy contained in the greatsword.

Sensing the depletion of biomass, the insect master grew increasingly agitated. It emitted a sharp insect chirp in the virtual realm, ordering all the insect swarms to retreat and defend at all costs.

However, due to the spatial distortions of the maze, many swarms were unable to determine their own location, and they were unable to provide effective support until the command system was rebuilt.

"It's tough enough! Even anti-psychic weapons can't penetrate it!" Sword Madman laughed angrily, "Then let's try the Star-Shattering Spear!"

As soon as the Sword Maniac made his move, the handlers began using various forbidden items.

The first step of the plan has been successful; humanity has arrived at the flesh and blood barrier.

Now, the second step of the plan is to defend this place and wait for the Shattered Star Spear to successfully penetrate the flesh barrier!
Class B Forbidden Item: Shattered Star Spear

It was a bronze spear over two meters long, covered with mysterious characters.

The official night watch team discovered it atop a massive skeleton in the center of a ruined city.

It pinned a huge, bizarre creature to the ground.

It devoured the creature's blood and flesh, leaving only the hard skeleton to prove that the strange creature possessed at least the strength of the seventh sense.

Its usage conditions are extremely demanding.

Or rather, it seems to possess self-awareness and needs praise and celebration.

The patterns engraved on it are words of praise for it.

Psionicists with the fourth level of perception or higher can see rapidly changing mysterious characters within the virtual realm.

When psychics see these words, they will automatically recite them. After reciting these obscure and difficult words around them for a period of time...

It will then feel joy, and the patterns on its entire body will radiate a dazzling light.

Only then can the holder use this ability. And the usage time is very short, less than ten seconds!
Although the duration was short, its power was extremely strong, with a terrifying effect of shattering all objects and psionic barriers.

The limitation is that it can only be driven by the user's physical strength. Neither divine intervention nor any other path can control it with psychic energy.

The cost, however, is that once the Starshattering Spear is used, it will devour the flesh and blood nearby, requiring a great deal of resources.

But now, that's not a problem at all!
More than a decade ago, Border City No. 3 used this forbidden object to deal with the meteorites summoned by the Church of the Embers using forbidden objects.

Faced with the enormous meteorite that blotted out the sky, a certain Night Watchman from the True Martial Path threw his spear with all his might.

In the next instant, the spear not only shattered the meteorite, but also destroyed the forbidden object inside it!
An accident triggered a terrible disaster.

Therefore, it is called the Star-Shattering Spear because it has the power to shatter meteorites!
It is the most powerful weapon that is officially owned, controlled, and managed!
Today, a dozen or so psionicists are reciting and praising the Shattered Star Spear.

Meanwhile, the other psionicists had to hold their ground!
Seemingly sensing the danger posed by the Shattered Star Spear, the Insect Lord emitted a sharp insect chirp.

The flesh and blood barrier writhed wildly, and a large swarm of insects was born in an instant. At the same time, huge skeletons emerged.

Among them was a gigantic skeleton over thirty meters long, even larger than the Forbidden Army Insect.

The moment they emerge, muscles and carapace quickly appear on their skeletons.

The Zerg Lord clearly wanted to quickly cultivate a powerful Zerg race to protect his own safety.

To this end, it did not hesitate to release all the biomass it had stored.

This made people's hearts sink.

This insect master can actually cultivate so many Imperial Guard Insects at the same time? Its strength is truly terrifying!
If it were allowed to safely remain hidden in the rear and cultivate these Imperial Army Insects, or even more powerful insectoid races, humanity's situation would become even more dire.

But now, it's too late; humans are right in front of it!
You think you can go out when the spring is blocked?
Sword Maniac and several captains attacked again, conjuring a giant sword to fiercely slash at the flesh barrier.

He was indeed unable to tear through the flesh barrier, but the Insect Lord could not expect to successfully give birth to a new Insect race!

The largest skeleton was violently shattered by the sword maniac before it could even take shape!

No matter how terrifying its power, its incomplete form left it with no strength to resist.

The large swarm of insects was wiped out by the aftershocks the moment it was born, but three Imperial Army Insects still managed to crawl out from the flesh barrier.

In order to expedite the birth of the Zerg, these Imperial Army Insects were left with incomplete carapaces and even limbs. They were hastily thrown out by the Insect Lord.

After crawling out of the flesh barrier, the mutilated Imperial Guard Insects launched a direct attack on the human forces!
Meanwhile, swarms of insects surged into the nearby tunnels. Under the direct command of their lord, those closest to the tunnels attacked the human ranks haphazardly.

'Disrupt their ritual!' the insect lord roared, knowing that as long as humans couldn't use that strange spear, it was invincible!
"Block them!" Sword Maniac roared. "Hold on!"

The captains used all their methods to kill the Forbidden Army Insects as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, outside the defensive lines built by the human forces, the Zerg swarm is being efficiently eliminated.

This place is filled with the most elite night scavengers and processors; the Zerg swarm has no chance of interrupting the activation of the Starshattering Spear!

But as time went by, more and more insect swarms arrived.

After recovering from the initial chaos, the swarm immediately located and provided support to the area where its leader was located.

When several Imperial Army Insects and hundreds of High Zerg appeared on the battlefield.

The bloodiest and most important battle of attack and defense has begun!

It was as if an endless swarm of insects was surging toward the human defenses, and various psionic powers and weapons intertwined on the battlefield, creating a deadly symphony.

Thunder, fire, storm, rock barrier, mimicry dragon breath, sword rain, incantation, and shockwave. A variety of abilities intertwine.

Like a giant meat grinder, it completely crushed the approaching swarm of insects!

But every time a massive swarm of insects is wiped out in this area, an even larger swarm immediately encroaches upon it.

The endless slaughter turned the eyes of every psionicist bloodshot.

Inside the defensive line, Li Yelai had already switched to the mask of Fenglang Juxu.

Use the "Immovable as a Mountain" skill to protect teammates who use ranged attacks.

The large black umbrella in his hand had long since become unusable due to the continuous release of heat.

Now he drew his three-pointed double-edged halberd to guard against the approaching Zerg.

This was the most dangerous moment of the operation, and both the insect swarm and the humans were on high alert.

The Zerg swarm was willing to do anything to interrupt the activation of the Starshattering Spear, while humanity was equally willing to do anything to stop the Zerg swarm.

Victory or defeat hinges on this moment!

Both sides maintained the highest level of intensity in the battle, daring not to relax for even a moment.

But when more than ten Imperial Army Insects entered the battlefield, cracks finally appeared in humanity's defenses.

The combat power of the Imperial Army Insects is close to that of the captains, and the eight captain-level powerhouses are unable to suppress the twelve Imperial Army Insects at the same time.

After the two Imperial Army Insects withstood the attack and broke through the human defenses, several processors were killed in battle.

The carefully maintained defenses were instantly overrun by the swarm of insects.

Without any hesitation, a handler whose leg had been severed by a hunting bug immediately donned the Black Dragon Armor.

This is a forbidden item that can instantly give an ordinary person the combat power of a five-awareness psychic. When a psychic who is already at the five-awareness level puts on the armor, his psychic power instantly rises to the six-awareness level, or even higher!
He became the ninth captain-level powerhouse!
He let out a terrifying dragon roar, and his mutilated body was instantly repaired, while at the same time, it began to twist rapidly!
Scales sprouted from beneath his skin, and his hands transformed into keratinous claws. In an instant, he transformed into a non-human monster, roaring, "For humanity! For the great city!"

He roared and twisted as he lunged at the two Imperial Guard Insects. A fierce battle ensued between them!
Then, it completely lost control, and after killing a Royal Guard Insect, it died in the swarm's attack.

More war bugs and hunter bugs broke through the defenses, many comrades fell in battle, and a massive swarm of bugs charged towards the core of the team. They charged towards Li Yelai's teammates behind him!

"Stop it! Stop it!"

The processors went completely mad, charging towards the swarm at any cost.

The doll was stained with blood in mid-air, and blood gushed out of her helmet.

Despite being blind and having his abdomen pierced, Jing Lin still wielded his weapon.

Yang Chen was covered in blood, making his champion's cape even redder.

Sword Maniac's white hair was stained with blood as he frantically swung his sword.
Li Yelai's eyes turned bloodshot as he switched his facial expressions, hating Li Yuanba with utter hatred!
A towering divine general appeared, desperately trying to block the gap.

Just a moment left, just a moment left!

"Block it! It must be blocked!"

Li Ye roared, his Dharma Image wielding a long halberd, a lone warrior guarding the pass! A hegemon stands firm!
Behind him, the Spear of Shattered Stars finally unleashed its dazzling light!
