Chapter 88: The Insect Emperor

After about ten minutes, heavy footsteps could be heard.

In the tempered glass windows of carriage number 8, there were originally many zombies. But at this moment, all that could be heard were terrifying wails and the sound of chewing. The zombies on the glass windows quickly disappeared.

Then, there was a loud bang. The door between carriage number 9 and carriage number 10 was kicked open and flew towards the crowd.

Ye Xuan leaped up and smashed his fist down on the door. The door was smashed to the bottom of the carriage by Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan also saw his opponent.

This was a rather terrifying creature. Its body was not as huge as the other mutated beasts, much smaller than the previous Pig King, only about three or four meters tall.

But its appearance was too horrifying. It had a humanoid shape, with an extremely large head without any hair. However, it didn’t have distinct facial features; instead, it was covered in a jumble of facial features.

On its huge head, there were random eyes, about twenty or thirty eyeballs, eight or nine mouths, and five or six noses.

These facial features obviously came from different humans and were randomly distributed on its head.

As for its body, it was even more bizarre. Although it roughly resembled a human shape, its arms were covered in hands.

These hands came from different men and women, still randomly grabbing at the air, very eerie.

Its legs were relatively normal, just a few times thicker than an ordinary person’s, giving off a powerful aura.

After it appeared, the mouths randomly installed on its head started talking:

“I’ll eat you! I’m going to eat you!” This was the voice of a young man.

“I’m in so much pain, kill me, kill me quickly!” This was the voice of a middle-aged woman.

“Hehe, it’s so delicious! I want to eat more!” This was the voice of a little girl.

After the little girl finished speaking, she suddenly opened her mouth wide and bit off one of the noses that grew on her face, then started chewing on it.

Ye Xuan looked at this scene and felt a chill. What kind of thing was this? It looked too disgusting. This thing…

Ye Xuan’s expression became serious. He finally remembered that the disgusting creature in front of him seemed to be the Insect Emperor.

At first, Ye Xuan thought that the people on the train turned into zombies because the mice mutated. The people who were bitten by the mice were infected with the virus and turned into zombies.

However, when Ye Xuan saw this monster, which was made up of countless human organs, he knew that it wasn’t that simple.

No matter how much the mice mutated, they couldn’t escape their instincts. They could grow bigger in size and become stronger in strength and speed, but they couldn’t become so bizarre.

This kind of human aggregation mutation could only be related to parasites. In his previous life, the top powerhouse among the mutated beasts, the Insect Emperor, seemed to have a similar human aggregation form.

Of course, Ye Xuan hadn’t seen the other party with his own eyes, he had only seen it in videos.

At that time, although the Insect Emperor was different from now, if you observed carefully, you could still see some similarities.

Later, after the Insect Emperor was besieged and killed by two SSS-class powerhouses, its body was handed over to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for research.

The research results showed that the Insect Emperor was originally a parasite that parasitized on mice. When the spiritual energy revived, the mice didn’t mutate, but the Insect Emperor did.

At first, they spread among the mouse population like a zombie virus in a movie, turning all the mice in an area into zombie mice.

These zombie mice gathered in groups in the wild, leaving no grass behind wherever they went. They encountered the high-speed train that Ye Xuan was on and launched an attack.

The speed at which the Insect Emperor mutated was indeed terrifying. After controlling the mouse horde to attack humans and parasitizing in human bodies, it only took an hour for it to evolve into its current form.

The creature in front of them should be considered the larval form of the Insect Emperor. According to the original historical process, it would parasitize all the people on the train and merge with them.

Then, it would continue on the path of evolution until it became a great threat to humanity, comparable to the world-destroying dragon whale, the kunpeng, and other peerless mutated beasts.

However, since Ye Xuan was here today, he naturally couldn’t let it continue to grow and threaten the survival of humanity!

These words may seem long, but in reality, they passed through Ye Xuan’s mind at an extremely fast speed.

Next, his resolute voice sounded, ” Great Power Heavenly Dragon, World-Honored Earth Treasury, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Bama Kong!!”

As soon as his words fell, special effects began to appear on Ye Xuan’s body. His whole body was shining with golden light, and the dark black Profound Iron Heavy Sword in his hand also turned into a sparkling golden form. He looked like a Super Saiyan.

The Insect Emperor in front of him looked twisted and perverted, one could say it was the evilest of the evil. The Great Heavenly Dragon had the effect of breaking evil, and at this moment, it could be very effective.

After Ye Xuan activated the Great Heaveny Dragon Scripture, the larval Insect Emperor in front of him seemed to sense the threat. Its body quickly rushed towards Ye Xuan.

Then, the golden light-shrouded Profound Iron Heavy Sword slashed down. The Insect Emperor raised its arm to block, and the countless palms on its arm opened.

These palms grabbed the blade of the Profound Iron Heavy Sword together, and Ye Xuan could feel that the Insect Emperor’s strength was still above his own. He tried his best to pull out the Profound Iron Heavy Sword, but he couldn’t do it.

At this moment, Su Mengli also took action. Red lotus flames appeared all over her body, and then a fire phoenix and a vermilion bird flew towards the Insect Emperor.

Although the Insect Emperor was in its larval form, its combat awareness was extremely strong. It keenly sensed the danger of Su Mengli’s fire.

Therefore, it exerted force with its arm, and Ye Xuan felt a sharp pain in his hand. The countless palms on the Insect Emperor’s arm grabbed the Profound Iron Heavy Sword and snatched it away. Its body also leaped up and dodged Su Mengli’s flames.

The fire phoenix and vermilion bird released by Su Mengli hit another carriage, melting two large holes in it.

Next, the Insect Emperor charged towards Ye Xuan and then the countless hands on its arm swung towards Ye Xuan’s head.

Ye Xuan punched back, but the Insect Emperor didn’t move. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but take a few steps back. This larval Insect Emperor was really not easy to deal with!

At this moment, Ye Xuan also understood why the threat humanity would face in the future would be so severe.

Not to mention the low-end combat power, just talking about the high-end combat power, the Insect Emperor in front of him, when it grew up to the class of a peerless mutated beast, its future potential would be similar to Su Mengli’s.

However, although the upper limit was the same, the growth rate was completely different. The larval Insect Emperor in front of him already had this kind of strength, much stronger than Su Mengli.

And in the future, as the rebirth of spiritual energy intensified, Su Mengli made rapid progress with the support of the country’s resources, but her progress barely kept up with the larval Insect Emperor.

The Insect Emperor, on the other hand, grew naturally without the support of the country’s power.

No wonder, as the rebirth of spiritual energy intensified, the pressure on humanity would become greater and greater. The evolution speed of humanity simply couldn’t keep up with these mutated creatures.
