Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Borrowing Your Sword for a Moment (Third Update)
 

An Yan saw this scene, and tears instantly fell, but she didn’t cry out loud, just tightly covered her mouth, letting the tears silently drop.

The two little girls had no such concerns, and came forward to shake An Qing, “Little Aunt, Little Aunt! Don’t sleep! Come play with us!”

Upon seeing this scene, sobs came from the crowd.

Xue An squatted down without a word and carefully examined An Qing’s body with his divine sense.

He discovered that An Qing’s vital organs were protected by a weak but continuous life force, but her sea of consciousness was empty.

“What’s going on!” Xue An asked in a deep voice.

Cheng Hao briefly recounted the events.

After listening, Xue An nodded slightly, then took a deep breath, turned to An Yan, who had already cried herself to tears, and said, “Yan’er, stop crying, give me your hand!”

An Yan, upon hearing this, quickly extended her hand to Xue An.

Xue An grasped An Yan’s hand with one hand, and with the other hand he wrote an extremely complex talisman spell in mid-air, then uttered a soft command, “Seek!”

The talisman spell instantly emitted golden light and then disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, within Xue An’s divine sense, one could see bloodline connections radiating from An Yan.

The strongest was naturally the two little girls.

And next to the mother-daughter bloodline was the connection with An Qing.

But this bloodline connection did not point to An Qing on the stretcher; instead, it circled back and stretched into the Insect Immortal Cave.

As expected!

No wonder even using the Nine Heavens Soul Searching Art he couldn’t find a trace of An Qing’s soul in this world.

You should know even if the soul was scattered, there would still be countless fragments dispersed throughout the world.

But in Xue An’s search, the world was utterly empty, without a trace of An Qing.

It was as if she had completely disappeared.

And now, using this bloodline tracking technique, it appeared that An Qing’s soul should be in the Insect Immortal Cave.

And this Insect Immortal Cave was likely a passage connected to a secret realm of the Insect Tribe.

Insect Tribe!

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xue An’s mouth.

He of course knew of this race.

Their miraculous and formidable nature was quite unique even among the Multiverse Realms.

Unlike other races that reproduced and proliferated, every Insect Tribe community relied on a mother bug, that is, their queen to reproduce.

And the longer the reproduction, the larger the base of the Insect Tribe became, and the more they devoured, the more powerful the Insect Tribe queen naturally became.

Xue An had even seen a huge community that had devoured an entire star system, and the queen’s power was nearing the level of an Immortal Emperor.

It was because of this trait, that the Insect Tribe was deeply feared by all races across The Multiverse.

After all, this was a race akin to a black hole; there was nothing they could not devour.

If allowed to develop unrestrained, they might even one day devour The Multiverse Realms.

But Xue An felt no particular way about this race.

Survival and becoming stronger were the natural instincts of living beings, and there was nothing wrong with that.

What Xue An hadn’t anticipated was the presence of the Insect Tribe in this world.

And they even dared to snatch An Qing’s soul away.

Then I will make you pay the most painful price.

With this thought, Xue An first comforted An Yan.

“Yan’er, don’t cry, Qing’er is not dead!”

“Huh? Really?” An Yan stopped sobbing and asked with surprise.

Xue An nodded. “Her soul has just been snatched away, she’s not dead. I’m going to retrieve her soul right now!”

After saying this, Xue An called out, “Cheng Hao!”

“Present!”

“You all stay here and wait, I’m going now into the Insect Immortal Cave to retrieve Qing’er’s soul!”

“Instructor, let us go with you!” Zhou Daniu and the others quickly said upon hearing this.

Zhang Chu and Ah Fei had been watching from the side all along.

They had all guessed Xue An’s identity.

Actually, there wasn’t much mystery about it.

Because everyone knew that the core soul of the Fire Phoenix was not Cheng Hao, nor An Qing, but Xue An!

This was the being who, in these times, could turn the clouds with a flip of the hand and bring the rain with a cover of the hand, even hailed as a sovereign of the current era.

In the face of such a person, Zhang Chu and the others naturally displayed sufficient awe.

But when the two of them heard that Xue An was preparing to enter the Insect Immortal Cave alone.

Zhang Chu couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Xue, going by yourself might be…”

Xue An gave Zhang Chu a glance and smiled slightly, “You carry the aura of the Heavenly Lord!”

Zhang Chu’s whole body shook violently, and he quickly bowed his head, saying very respectfully, “Heavenly Master Mansion’s sixty-seventh Dao lineage holder Zhang Chu, at your service, sir!”

Xue An nodded slightly and glanced at the Laojun Sword with Zhang Chu, “So you are the descendant of Zhang Heavenly Lord!”

Zhang Chu’s whole body trembled—he caught the implication in Xue An’s words.

Could it be… that he knows my ancestor?

At that moment, Xue An said, “None of you need to go, one of the Insect Tribe is nothing for me to handle alone!”

After speaking, Xue An smiled at Zhang Chu, “Lend me your Laojun Sword for a moment!”

Zhang Chu was slightly stunned—if someone else asked to borrow it, he would definitely not agree.

But since Xue An had asked, after only a moment’s hesitation, he took off the Laojun Sword and handed it to Xue An.

Xue An unsheathed the sword, plucked it gently, and the Laojun Sword let out a dragon’s roar.

Xue An smiled slightly, “Good sword! What a pity it has been buried for so long! Today, I shall awaken its edge!”

With that, Xue An rose into mid-air, holding the sword in one hand, his eyes slightly cold, and he whispered a verse.

“Dao Sword… Open Heaven!”

With one swing of the sword.

A sword light that was extremely clear and at the same time imbued with endless Dao principles directly struck Insect Immortal Mountain.

Crack.

Insect Immortal Mountain was no harder than tofu under that sword light, directly being cleaved in half.

As for the Insect Immortal Cave, it became a pile of ruins under that one slash.

But within the split mountain, a black halo flowed.

Dark vapors tried to probe out but were extinguished by the bright sword light.

Zhang Chu watched the scene, dumbstruck, his mouth wide open, wide enough to fit three eggs.

There was a time when Zhang Chu was extremely proud.

Although the Heavenly Master Mansion was now down to just him, his talent was the best among the Heavenly Master Dao lineage in centuries.

This could be seen from his ability to wield the Laojun Sword.

Previous Dao lineage holders simply couldn’t control the Laojun Sword.

This naturally filled Zhang Chu with pride.

But today, all his pride collapsed under that one stroke from Xue An.

Watching Xue An’s sword, he finally understood what the real Laojun Sword was, what the real Dao was!

Trembling, Zhang Chu saw Xue An toss the Laojun Sword back to him from mid-air, and then said indifferently, “In the past, I had a brief encounter with your ancestor Zhang Heavenly Lord. Consider this a favor to his descendant!”

Zhang Chu caught the sword, momentarily stupefied.

Once dim and unremarkable, the Laojun Sword now radiated brilliance, its Dao vibrant and brilliant.

Holding it in his hands, he could even feel the potent force of Dao within.

“Is this… the true power of the Laojun Sword? No wonder Mr. Xue said it’s been buried for too long. So this is what awakening the edge means!”

Zhang Chu murmured to himself, then suddenly understood something and dropped to his knees in the dust.

“Disciple thanks the Immortal Master for the generous favor!”

Xue An’s status suddenly ascended to that of an Immortal Master.

However, Xue An just chuckled and then said to An Yan, “Wait here for me, I’ll return shortly!”

After speaking, Xue An took one step, arrived directly at the place of radiance within the mountain, and then vanished from this world.
