I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"Boom boom boom boom—!!"

Jiao Hongyuan and Meng Boshang were ceaselessly clashing, their battle had reached a point where it was almost impossible for the naked eye to follow, only the ring-shaped shockwaves bursting everywhere in the void revealed that their fight had not stopped.

Green light vortexes still emitted cockroaches nonstop, with no sign of slowing down. The humans had initially held a numerical advantage, but as casualties on their side continued to mount, the number of cockroaches was steadily increasing, quickly reaching parity.

Some of the cockroach monsters, measuring over five meters tall, were especially outrageous, with skin so tough that neither blades nor firearms could penetrate their exoskeletons.

Ordinary Martial Artists' Power couldn't even shake them, while a single charge from these creatures could bisect several—even dozens—of people, like armored vehicles cutting an unstoppable path through an ancient battlefield of cold weapons.

"It's no use, the shell is too hard!"

"We can't break through this shell, use Soft Power!"

Several experienced Martial Artists quickly realized the situation and shouted loudly, signaling to those around them to deal with the giant cockroach monsters using Soft Power.

"Naive... the exoskeleton of these 'King Insects' is so thick that penetrating it with Soft Power to strike directly at the internal parts requires a precision you lot of wastes are incapable of achieving..."

Jiao Hongyuan stole a glance at the battlefield during a lull and scoffed.

Just then, several Martial Artists collaborated to knock a 'King Insect' to the ground, one holding down each leg to prevent it from standing. Soon after, a graceful figure leapt over and struck the 'King Insect' just below the throat and above the chest, at the nerve cluster of the esophagus.

"Puff—"

With a muffled sound, the 'King Insect' suddenly stiffened, went limp, and thick, dark green mucus began pouring out of its mouth non-stop.

"Hmm?" Jiao Hongyuan frowned.

"That's... Meng Qingjiao from the Hidden Dragon Dojo? Li Qi's disciple; why do all of you have to be so annoying."

He raised his hand and swung, sending forth a Golden Wind Sword Qi several meters in size, forcing Meng Boshang to retreat.

Then, in a flash, he moved toward Meng Qingjiao, extremely fast, with the airflow visibly splitting to either side of him as if it were cut by a sharp blade.

But soon, the imposing figure of Meng Boshang stood in his path, the dark golden vertical pupils burning with subdued rage, and the surrounding air shimmered with twisted ripples.

"Inverse Scale..."

Jiao Hongyuan's eyes narrowed, then he glanced sideways at a certain figure amidst the crowd. Without trying to attack Meng Qingjiao any longer, he turned and charged at Meng Boshang once more.

The two clashed again, the intensity of their battle escalating even further.

Chen Fuguang rushed to Meng Qingjiao's side, punching a cockroach away, and said with a vigilant expression:

"Miss Meng, Jiao Hongyuan wants to ambush you. Although Big Brother is blocking him, for safety, we'd better stay away from him."

"..." Meng Qingjiao nodded.

What they did not notice was a figure wrapped in bandages mingling in the crowd, watching them.

Li Chengxuan, with a face hidden beneath bandages, wore a complex expression filled with excitement, fear, and hatred.

"Xue Jing isn't here... Good, I'll start by disposing of you two."

"You have such a good relationship, don't you... What expression will you have upon seeing the corpses of your fellow disciples? Xue Jing, let me enjoy it properly... Hehehe."

Meng Qingjiao continued to assist several Martial Artists, responsible for killing the giant cockroach monsters with her finely executed Soft Power. This highly conspicuous performance also attracted the attention of many cockroach monsters.

As the product of human and cockroach gene fusion, though primarily cockroach, they still possessed some simple human cognitive and judgment abilities. Thus, many cockroach monsters moved closer, targeting Meng Qingjiao and launching relentless attacks.

"These monsters are targeting Miss Meng!"

"We can't let them get close to Miss Meng, stop them!"

The humans understood Meng Qingjiao's importance in dealing with the giant cockroach monsters and crowded in front of her.

But under the suicidal onslaught of the cockroach horde, many monsters inevitably broke through the defenses and charged towards Meng Qingjiao, including several towering over five meters.

Seeing this, Li Chengxuan nearby immediately realized this was a good opportunity and, with a flash, rushed towards Meng Qingjiao.

In the distance, Meng Boshang noticed the situation and wanted to push through to support his daughter. But just as the thought arose, Jiao Hongyuan appeared before him, his sinister face filled with malice.

"Just stay put and watch your daughter die!"

Chen Fuguang was also simultaneously overwhelmed by several cockroach monsters, struggling to cope and unable to come to the aid.

The young woman, who always maintained a cool and detached demeanor, was now in a predicament, isolated and without help.

"Die, I'll chop your body into countless pieces for Xue Jing to see!"

Li Chengxuan screamed in his heart, frenetically closing in on Meng Qingjiao.

His hands, radiating sharpness, cut through the bandages wrapped around his arms, revealing what lay beneath.

They were hands shining with a metallic gloss... No, they were actually metal.

His skin, now an Alien Implant, had been replaced with a special material.

"Die!"

His palms, sharpened beyond any real blade, lunged at Meng Qingjiao.

Dozens of cockroach monsters also converged on the young woman simultaneously, forming an inescapable encirclement.

"Miss Meng!"

Chen Fuguang, filled with urgency, was on the brink of despair.
