Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 2461: You Really Are Crazy**

The sudden appearance of the insect race startled both Lu Fengyao and Lin Moyu. Even Lin Moyu, who had been using the Eye of the Undead to scan the area, hadn’t detected any other living beings. He hadn’t expected the insect race to be able to evade the Eye of the Undead, proving just how cunning this race was.

Within the black cloud were countless, seemingly endless insects, impossible to count. There were three insect mothers among them: one high-level Celestial Sovereign and two mid-level Celestial Sovereigns. The high-level Celestial Sovereign insect mother could produce countless high-level Supreme insects, while the mid-level Celestial Sovereign insect mothers could produce mid-level Supreme insects. These insects could combine to form formations, enhancing their realms by one or two minor levels. Additionally, the insect mothers could create some special insects. When cooperating, the combat power of the insect race was enough to rival the dragon race of the same realm. If humans encountered insect mothers of the same realm, they would generally be no match unless they possessed extremely powerful artifacts. Even Lu Fengyao felt a headache when facing insect mothers of the same realm, as they gave her the feeling of being unkillable.

Countless insects swarmed towards them, their numbers overwhelming. In terms of strength, they were only mid-level and high-level Supremes, not too threatening. However, their sheer numbers were enough to make one’s scalp tingle. Moreover, the insect mothers could produce them endlessly, making them impossible to kill off completely.

At this moment, the three insect mothers screamed simultaneously, creating some extremely special insects. These insects exploded, transforming into an invisible force that enveloped the swarm. Immediately, all the insects’ strength increased by a notch. Mid-level Supremes became high-level Supremes, and high-level Supremes became peak Supremes.

Lu Fengyao’s face changed, gripping her Dao Sovereign-level sword tightly. She whispered, “I’ll take you and break through.”

Her first thought was to break through rather than kill the insect mothers. She knew very well that killing the insect race was extremely difficult. Even with her Dao Sovereign-level artifact, it wouldn’t be easy to kill them. However, breaking through wasn’t difficult. The insect mothers were strong, but the swarm wasn’t, and Supremes couldn’t stop her.

Lin Moyu remained calm, “No need, I’ll deal with them!”

With a light touch of his finger, an endless mist rose in the sky. In an instant, the Bone Hell appeared, enveloping a large area and directly swallowing the insect race. Within the Bone Hell, hellish spirits pounced on the swarm, biting indiscriminately. Hellfire spewed out, and ten suns scattered infinite flames. The Eye of the Undead gazed upon them, carrying a terrifying soul impact. The insects screamed and froze, their auras rapidly weakening. The previous enhancement was wiped out by the Eye of the Undead. The blooming of the Red Spider Lily further weakened the insects, reducing their speed and strength significantly.

Although the number of insects was vast, the hellish spirits in the Bone Hell were also numerous. With millions of hellish spirits fighting the insects, Lin Moyu wasn’t worried about the Bone Hell losing. The Bone Hell couldn’t handle Celestial Sovereigns, but it was invincible among Supremes, no matter how many insects there were. Lin Moyu was never afraid of being outnumbered. Even without the Bone Hell, he had plenty of ways to deal with these insects.

Lu Fengyao was stunned, “Is this your spell?”

Lin Moyu smiled, “It’s not very strong, but it’s perfect for dealing with these insects.”

Lu Fengyao was astonished, “Not strong? You’re only a peak Supreme, and this spell is enough to dominate among Supremes.”

Lin Moyu laughed, “Indeed, but it’s a pity it can’t handle Celestial Sovereigns!”

Lu Fengyao said, “Be content; it’s already impressive! Let’s take this chance to leave.”

Lin Moyu asked curiously, “Why leave? Why not kill the three insect mothers?”

Lu Fengyao couldn’t believe it, “Are you crazy? You want to kill the insect mothers?”

“Why not? If they can come to kill me, why can’t I kill them?” Lin Moyu’s words puzzled Lu Fengyao. It seemed she had never considered killing the insect mothers from the start. Was there a special reason?

Lu Fengyao explained, “It’s not that we can’t kill them; it’s just too difficult. What you’re seeing is only the first form of the insect mothers. They have a second form and an ultimate form.”

“In their first form, they only produce insects and aren’t very powerful themselves.”

“In their second form, also known as the combat form, they have the strength to rival dragons of the same realm.”

“As for their ultimate form, their combat power reaches its peak. It’s said that a peak Celestial Sovereign insect mother in its ultimate form once severely injured a Dao Sovereign of the demon race.”

Lin Moyu finally understood why Lu Fengyao hadn’t thought of killing the insect mothers. It indeed seemed challenging. However, he was very interested in the insect mothers. If he could turn them into resurrected beings and transform them into their ultimate form, they might not just severely injure a Dao Sovereign but could even kill one. Moreover, resurrected beings would self-destruct before death. If the insects produced by the insect mothers could also self-destruct, the scene would be thrilling.

Seeing that Lin Moyu had no intention of leaving, Lu Fengyao asked, “What do you want to do?”

Lin Moyu replied, “I want to try killing them.”

Lu Fengyao shivered, “Don’t even think about it. If that high-level Celestial Sovereign insect mother enters its ultimate form, even I can only protect myself.”

Lin Moyu said, “Then don’t let it enter its ultimate form. Can you handle the two mid-level Celestial Sovereign insect mothers?”

Lu Fengyao looked at Lin Moyu as if he were crazy. But seeing his determined gaze, she said, “Killing them won’t be easy, but holding them off isn’t hard.”

Lin Moyu said, “Good, leave those two to you. I’ll handle the high-level Celestial Sovereign.”

With that, Lin Moyu flew straight towards the insect mothers. Lu Fengyao called out to him, but he didn’t listen. Helpless, she stomped her foot and followed. She thought to herself, “Fine, I’ll go crazy with him. Let him see reality. If things go south, I’ll take him and break through. It should be fine.”

Lu Fengyao was confident in her strength. Even if she couldn’t defeat the ultimate form of the insect mother, she could protect herself and break through with Lin Moyu. Seeing the two of them charging, the three insect mothers screamed and produced more insects. The total number of insects had an upper limit. After a batch was killed by the Bone Hell, they produced a new batch. Lin Moyu’s heart stirred, and the Bone Hell instantly expanded, covering all the insects and the insect mothers.

Hellish spirits pounced on the insect mothers, who screamed and produced more insects. But against the Bone Hell, the insects were clearly outmatched. The insect mothers’ screams suddenly changed, becoming more intense, and their bodies began to transform. Their previously nest-like bodies grew dense scales, sprouted four pairs of sharp legs, each emitting a sharp aura that cut countless cracks in the air. The insect mothers now had a metallic sheen, their bodies transformed from bloated to sharp, resembling mantises.

As the insect mothers transformed, the insects they produced returned and merged with their respective mothers. Lu Fengyao whispered, “This is their second form, also known as the combat form. Be careful.”

Lin Moyu nodded, “Proceed as planned!”

Lu Fengyao snorted, “You really are crazy!”
