I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 174 The Zerg's Scheme, The Last Taiyi Golden Immortal of the Xuanming Realm
The terrifying sword energy landed above Spider Emperor City, colliding fiercely with the city's defensive array, unleashing dazzling light and violent fluctuations.

Sensing the commotion, a large number of powerful insectoid beings suddenly flew out into the air, angrily attacking the white-robed swordsman in the sky.

"Where did this ungrateful human come from, daring to provoke Spider Emperor City? Die!"

Upon seeing the Zerg powerhouses lured out, Lai Yang did not hesitate for a moment. His vast sword intent condensed once more, forming a massive sword array barrier that enveloped the sky above Spider Emperor City. Countless sword intents containing destructive power poured out, annihilating and killing the first batch of Zerg that jumped out.

In an instant, the insectoids in Spider Royal City couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

This human, whose cultivation level was clearly only at the Mortal Immortal Realm, was actually able to directly kill a ninth-realm insectoid powerhouse?!

Soon, ten powerful Ninth Realm Insectoids appeared, surrounded Lai Yang, and then launched a fierce attack on him simultaneously.

"It's the Ten Insect Generals who have made their move!"

“Each of the ten insect generals is at the ninth realm of cultivation, comparable to a human True Immortal. When they join forces, they are invincible at the tenth realm. That human is doomed!”

"Humans are truly foolish creatures, daring to storm the Spider King City alone. Do they really think that killing some of our kin will make them look down on us Zerg? We Zerg are not to be trifled with."

At the same time, a phantom image appeared behind Lai Yang, and the phantom image moved in perfect unison with Lai Yang's movements, as if it were an extension of his arm.

With the blessing of the illusory Dharma form, Lai Yang's realm and aura increased significantly, allowing him to fight the ten insect generals alone with just his sword.

The Zerg believed it was only a matter of time before Laiyang would perish at the hands of the Ten Zerg Generals, but the outcome was a complete surprise to them.

The two sides exchanged blows for less than a hundred rounds, and Lai Yang beheaded a Ninth Realm Insect General with a single sword strike.

The terrifying sword intent instantly annihilated the opponent's physical body and soul, leaving no chance for regeneration or escape, and then it became unstoppable.

In less than half an hour, ten insect generals fell one after another to Lai Yang's sword.

For a moment, the Zerg in Spider Emperor City were stunned. How could this be?!
Lai Yang glanced contemptuously in the direction of Spider Emperor City, then turned and fled.

He didn't really want to escape; he wanted to lure the Zerg out of Spider Queen City.

With the Spider Royal City's defensive array, it's very difficult for him to accumulate attribute points to become stronger.

"He's trying to escape! Catch him!"

"Attack together! We can't let this guy get away!"

As expected, the Zerg fell for it.

Countless insectoids flew out of the Spider King City, sweeping across the heavens and earth like a dark cloud pressing down on the city.

The Zerg love to overwhelm their opponents with sheer numbers, but little did they know that this played right into Lai Yang's hands, as he was waiting for them to come out of the Spider Queen City on their own initiative.

Lai Yang did not rush to make a move, but instead tried his best to lure the Zerg out of the city.

Suddenly, Lai Yang instinctively sensed danger, and a chill ran down his spine.

The next moment, a figure streaked across the sky like a flash of light, sending Lai Yang flying.

At the critical moment, Lai Yang parried the opponent's attack with his sword.

Even so, the aftereffects still made his internal organs tremble and churn, and a hideous wound appeared on his waist, bleeding profusely, but it quickly healed.

Lai Yang's expression immediately became somewhat serious.

With his current strength, the only one who could easily injure him would be a tenth-realm insectoid expert.

The next moment, that figure, as swift as a flash, charged at Lai Yang once again.

"Hmph, you think you can sneak up once and come back?" Lai Yang resolutely released his divine sense, slightly bent down, and held his right hand on the hilt of his sword. His sword intent domain expanded to a range of 100 meters around him, and his five senses were enhanced to the extreme. This was the strongest attack range he could achieve when he drew his sword.

The instant that flashing figure stepped within a hundred meters of Lai Yang, Lai Yang moved, unleashing an invisible sword aura of extreme speed.

The terrifying sword energy seemed to split the heavens and earth apart.

The figure was thrown away by Lai Yang's sword energy, and paused for a moment.

Lai Yang took the opportunity to get a clear look at its appearance; the creature that attacked was a golden insectoid assassin.

Although it only possesses the power of the early stage of the tenth realm, it is far more dangerous to Lai Yang than the mid-stage tenth realm sword beetle he encountered before. Lai Yang must restrict its movements, otherwise he might be ambushed by it.

No matter the time, the sixth player who plays the assassin is the most disgusting.

But what was even more disgusting was yet to come. While the golden insectoids were entangled with Lai Yang, two more insectoid auras at the tenth realm broke through the void and arrived.

Behind them are hundreds of millions of Zerg soldiers. As far as the eye can see, there is almost no scenery in the distance, only an endless swarm of Zerg!
"Human, you have no way to escape today. Surrender obediently."

Lai Yang's face darkened. Besides the powerful insectoid warrior in front of him, he also sensed a deadly danger in the shadows.

It's not hard to guess the reason: besides these insectoids, the overlord behind them is probably also watching this place.

If things go wrong, that Zerg overlord will inevitably take action to suppress him.

Before it makes its move, Lai Yang must improve his strength as much as possible. Otherwise, if he faces several Golden Immortal Insects at the tenth level and one Taiyi Golden Immortal Insect at the eleventh level, he will have no choice but to flee for his life.

Without giving Lai Yang much time to think, the Zerg army immediately gathered its strength and launched a devastating attack.

Lai Yang was enveloped in purple heavenly lightning power, further enhancing his speed and strength. With a single sword strike, tens of thousands of insectoids perished.

The three Zerg powerhouses at the tenth realm naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch Lai Yang slaughter their Zerg army, so they all took action to suppress Lai Yang.

Seeing this, Lai Yang had no choice but to do his best to resist the attacks of the Zerg powerhouse. The aftershocks of the battle alone wiped out countless weaker Zerg in the surrounding area.

The power contained in Lai Yang's sword energy was something that even insectoid powerhouses at the Golden Immortal realm couldn't help but fear, and dared not act recklessly, because it was a power that could truly kill them.

"You actually comprehended a trace of the power of the sword dao law, which is truly enviable. If you were to grow stronger, you might become a major threat to our clan. Unfortunately, you are destined to never grow up."

"The blood of a peerless genius, it tastes really sweet and delicious."

"Don't keep the king waiting. Kill him and bring his body back to the king."

"Hmph, I've slain Golden Immortals before." Lai Yang sneered, and with a thought, he condensed thousands of sword energies. Under Lai Yang's control, most of the sword energies entangled the three Tenth Realm Zerg powerhouses, while the rest indiscriminately slaughtered and bloodied the Zerg army.

The more strength we have now, the better we are at protecting ourselves.

Unbeknownst to him, Lai Yang had killed hundreds of millions of insectoids, and his physical body and spiritual power broke through a small realm again, entering the fifth level of the ninth realm in one fell swoop.

"Have you guys noticed that the human race seems to be getting stronger and stronger?"

"He doesn't engage us in direct combat; instead, he keeps slaughtering those weaker Zerg. Could it be that he has mastered some kind of secret technique that can absorb power?"

"Now that you mention it, it's quite possible." "This guy is already troublesome enough; how can we let him continue to grow stronger? Immediately order the other Zerg to retreat!"

The Zerg powerhouses communicated telepathically, and then, upon receiving orders from a tenth-realm Zerg powerhouse, the Zerg army scattered and fled in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Lai Yang was startled. They actually fled? Could it be that they were afraid of being killed by him?

No, the Zerg have a very strong class consciousness; they would never escape without the authorization of a powerful Zerg leader.

If nothing unexpected happens, since the other side discovered his secret to becoming stronger, these Zerg aren't stupid.

If they were scattered, it would be inconvenient for Lai Yang to pursue them, especially since he was followed by three powerful insectoid beings at the tenth realm.

"Hmph, although I don't know why you keep killing those weaklings, I suppose you must have some secret." A tenth-realm insectoid powerhouse said coldly, "Whatever your secret is, once we capture you, your secret will belong to us."

"You really think you've got me cornered? Even though I'm only at the fifth level of the ninth realm, it should be more than enough to deal with the three of you."

Now that they had seen through his thoughts, Lai Yang decided not to hide them any longer.

"Arrogant humans, wait until we cut off your flesh, suck your blood, and smash your bones, then let's see if you're still so stubborn. Those who resist our insectoid race will not have a good end."

"Noisy."

Lai Yang controlled the purple heavenly lightning within his body to erupt, and the sword light, carrying the power of the purple heavenly lightning, slashed at the tenth-realm golden insect with lightning speed.

"Purple Heavenly Thunder Slash!"

"So fast!"

Lai Yang severed the left arm of the Tenth Realm Golden Insect, and the wound was wrapped with a mysterious power of sword law, which prevented it from regenerating immediately.

Upon seeing this, the three insectoid powerhouses at the tenth realm immediately understood.

Until just now, the other side had been feigning weakness to lull them into a false sense of security.

"This human is strange; we absolutely cannot let him live. We must kill him with all our might."

In an instant, the three level-ten insectoid powerhouses unleashed their respective innate divine abilities.

The speed of the Ten Realms Golden Insect increased several times over, so fast that even space itself seemed to leave afterimages.

Another tenth-realm insectoid powerhouse grew indestructible armor and countless sharp barbs all over its body.

The last one didn't show any obvious changes, but the power it unleashed increased several times over.

The insectoid powerhouse, covered in armor and barbs, curled up into a ball and spun rapidly. Its defenses were comparable to those of a celestial artifact, and it could also launch terrifying barbs, each of which possessed the power to kill an ordinary True Immortal.

"The Longevity Sword Technique, Moon Slash."

Lai Yang's expression hardened, and the beautiful sword light was like the bright moon hanging high in the night sky. The moment the sword was drawn, the world changed color.

"Pfft~!" The tenth-realm insectoid expert was severely injured by a sword, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting blood.

Immediately afterwards, the Ten Realms Golden Insect appeared behind Lai Yang and launched a sneak attack, attempting to tear him apart.

The claws of the Tenth Realm Golden Insect pierced Lai Yang's chest, but he didn't feel the flesh piercing through. His expression immediately changed: "An afterimage?!"

"Purple Heavenly Thunder Slash".

Lai Yang had long been on guard against this sixth assassin. His blood-red sword energy, combined with the power of purple heavenly lightning, instantly annihilated the body of the tenth-realm golden insect, causing it to vanish into thin air.

In the midst of the all-out battle, one of the three tenth-realm insectoid powerhouses was killed and another was injured.

Lai Yang's eyes were indifferent, devoid of any emotion, like the Grim Reaper staring at the last tenth-realm insectoid powerhouse. The insect sword in his hand faintly emitted a hissing and wailing sound, causing the insectoid to feel fear at this moment.

Lai Yang could see that the opponent had lost its fighting spirit. Just as it was about to make a move to finish the opponent off, an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

Lai Yang's expression changed, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

Suddenly, a figure with a human head and a spider's body appeared in the sky. Its eight eyes stared intently at Lai Yang, exerting immense pressure on his mind.

The Zerg of Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm!

It did indeed appear.

"Human, submit to me, and I may spare your life," the Spider King of the eleventh realm said.

"Hehe, although I am quite interested in monster girls, I prefer to be the dominant one. If you submit to me as your master, I might consider sparing your life."

Lai Yang showed no fear as he looked up at the Spider King's figure.

His blood and qi surged violently at this moment, like a vast and boundless ocean roaring and surging, resisting the opponent's pressure.

"You made a stupid decision."

The Spider King of the eleventh realm frowned slightly, not expecting the human in front of him to be so bold as to utter such arrogant words under such circumstances.

Before a Taiyi Golden Immortal, even the strongest True Immortal is nothing more than a tiny ant, easily crushed with a flick of its wrist.

Human prodigies who have grasped a trace of the laws of swordsmanship must be killed if they cannot be subdued, otherwise they pose too great a threat to them.

Spider King raised his hand and pointed into the air, unleashing an attack containing the terrifying power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal who locked onto Lai Yang.

At the same time, the space around Lai Yang was imprisoned by the Spider King, and he could not escape even if he wanted to.

Just as Lai Yang was preparing to unleash the full power of the Heavenly Origin Burning Life Technique to break through the spatial confinement.

Suddenly, the void between Lai Yang and the Spider King shattered, and a person emerged from the void, raising his hand to disperse the Spider King's attack.

Lai Yang was slightly taken aback. He looked at the person who had suddenly come to his aid and couldn't believe that the person in front of him was also a powerful Taiyi Golden Immortal!
Upon seeing the newcomer, the Spider Queen's expression froze, and she coldly said, "It's you again."

"Hmph, your insectoid race is as shameless as ever. So many people are bullying a child. How can I stand idly by?" Taiyi Golden Immortal said indifferently.

"How laughable! You are a stray dog. Your immortal sect has been destroyed by us. What right do you have to be arrogant in front of me?" The Spider King showed a look of disdain and then said, "We had long guessed that you would not be able to resist showing up. You did indeed show up. Since you are here, you will not leave today. All of you will stay."

As the Spider Queen finished speaking, four auras, no weaker than those of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, suddenly appeared.

These are the other four Eleventh Realm Insect Kings who now rule the Xuanming Realm!
"You didn't expect that, did you? We've been waiting for you for so long."

"Humans are indeed foolish. You have been hiding and living for thousands of years, but now you have willingly shown yourself and walked into our trap for the sake of a human."

"Shen Lingchuan, you can't escape today."
