"The Insect General is mine! You deal with the other Insects. Leave some True Immortals on the Flying Boat as guards. Gunners, target the Insect Clan on the Star! Mahayana Realm Spiritual Beasts, engage when the common bugs attack!" After rapidly issuing these orders, Chen Jiuge charged forward, taking the lead.
The moth-like Insect General blocked his elite Insects behind him, directing them to scatter and engage the other True Immortals. It scrutinized Chen Jiuge with its red compound eyes and said, "I am Born. You’re the human who killed Adolf."
The Moth Insect was not very large, standing only about four meters tall. Chen Jiuge adjusted his Fatian Xiangdi to a comparable size and, with a cold laugh and the manifestation of Three Heads and Six Arms, retorted, "You know, and yet you dare to stop me? Not afraid of dying, huh?"
"I am no waste like Adolf. Moreover, to sacrifice oneself for the Nest is the highest glory." Born then glanced with reverence in the direction of the Insect Nest.
"Enough talk. Die!" Chen Jiuge’s figure shifted, his six arms brandishing their weapons simultaneously, cutting down fiercely.
With mere slight sidesteps, Born perfectly dodged all attacks, a hint of scorn on his face. Such slow attacks. To think such slow speed killed Adolf; he truly was a waste.
Once again moving slightly, Born was about to counterattack. Suddenly, a dark Sword Qi burst forth from one of the black greatswords on Chen Jiuge’s six arms. Under the cover of Chaos, Born, who had underestimated his opponent, was struck precisely in the wings on his back.
The ashen wings were shattered into pieces, dark green blood trickling from the wound. Born roared in agony, "Despicable!"
Chen Jiuge said, somewhat smugly, "Did you think I’m an idiot? Most of you Insect Generals excel in speed, so why would I use my weakness against your strength?"
"Without a wing, I wonder if you can still be so fast?"
Seeing Born’s now-bent form, Chen Jiuge didn’t hesitate. He directly enlarged his body to its maximum size, six massive weapons descending from the sky—Heavenly Tilt.
Ash-white powder drifted from the Moth Insect, erupting into violent explosions, but these did nothing to stop Chen Jiuge’s advance.
The immense Calamity Immortal Sword effortlessly sliced through Born’s body, splitting it in two.
Watching Born cry out just before dying, Chen Jiuge said disdainfully, "Hiding a move until the last minute? If you’d used that when dodging before, wouldn’t it have been fine? You waited until you were on the verge of death to use it. Who else would die but you!"
"Everyone, swiftly clear out the Insect Clan! We don’t have much time to collect resources!" Chen Jiuge shouted into the void before joining the cleanup of the Insects.
Yue Meng smashed an Insect’s skull with her Medicine Mortar and voiced her disgust, "So ugly, really so ugly!"
The assault of an accelerated Insect appeared like a black pillar of light, instantly striking Yue Meng’s figure.
Seeing this from a distance, Chen Jiuge’s heart skipped a beat. A second Insect General! How could I have made such a big mistake? Who decided that a Star should only be guarded by one Insect General?
When the pillar of light disappeared, Yue Meng emerged unharmed, having successfully blocked the Insect General’s assault.
Having reverted to her true form, Yue Meng glowed with faint moonlight. Her Medicine Mortar had transformed into an elegant ceremonial staff, which she now held horizontally, blocking two sharp scythes.
Approaching, Chen Jiuge witnessed Yue Meng shift into combat mode for the first time. He was momentarily stunned by the magnificent transformation. Wow, such a glamorous changeover could practically win her a spot in a Heavenly Realm fashion competition!
Perhaps feeling uncomfortable under Chen Jiuge’s gaze, Yue Meng wanted to finish the fight quickly.
A white beam of light shot from the crescent on her forehead. Although the Mantis Insect blocked it with its forearms, it was struck fiercely in the waist by the ceremonial staff.
Blown back hundreds of meters, blue blood gushed continuously from the wound on the Mantis Insect’s waist.
"Insect Clan, undefeated!" the Mantis Insect shouted before charging at Yue Meng, facing death unflinchingly. Its scythe-shaped arms began to wave rapidly, leaving trails of dark afterimages.
Yue Meng positioned her ceremonial staff before her, the white moonlight around her body growing thicker.

The phantom of a crescent moon appeared behind Yue Meng, its bright moonlight bathing much of the battlefield. It looked slow, yet it moved with surprising speed, striking the Mantis Insect hard and dissolving it into nothingness.
Chen Jiuge’s eyes twitched as he watched. Is Yue Meng this strong? He’d thought Li Kui and Bai Ya were the strongest Spiritual Beasts under his command. To think that the most powerful one was actually the Alchemist!
"I’m so tired!" Yue Meng reverted to her usual harmlessly cute demeanor, gasping with her little tongue sticking out.
"You claim you’re exhausted," Chen Jiuge quipped, "but you’re the one who literally beat that Mantis Insect to dust!"
"Who told him to ambush me? Doesn’t he know I’m an Alchemist?" Yue Meng said, placing her hands on her hips.
Patting Yue Meng’s little head, Chen Jiuge soothed her, "That’s right, that’s right. It deserved to die."
Li Kui and Bai Ya, who had also witnessed the scene, felt greatly provoked; the fact that they weren’t as strong as Yue Meng, the Alchemist, was an insult to them as beasts.
Tian Que, on the other hand, looked on with admiration. Big Sis is truly worthy of her title, so formidable!
Spurred into action, Li Kui and Bai Ya unleashed their fury, and the remaining members of the Insect Clan were quickly eradicated.
Chen Jiuge’s mood soured slightly as he watched the many Spiritual Beasts tending to their injuries. The power on this Cold Winter Star far exceeded that of Bran Star. Not only were there two Insect Generals, but the numbers of common Insects and elite Insects were also massive. This resulted in numerous casualties among the Spiritual Beasts.
Fortunately, the intense battle had also allowed many Spiritual Beasts to break through to the True Immortal realm, so their overall strength had increased rather than diminished.
