Chapter 1345: Chapter 1345: Latonia

After a violent explosion, a huge fire was set ablaze that was more than a hundred feet high, engulfing everything around it.

Suddenly, a slim figure rose from the flames. It was Lucille.

Among the three thousand Godly Ways, the Five Elements Godly Way was the most extensive type. It was also the most comprehensive type of cultivation technique.

The orders of creation and restriction of the five elements were known by everyone. “Metal creates water, water creates wood, wood creates fire, fire creates earth, and earth, in return, creates metal. On the other hand, wood restricts earth, earth restricts water, water restricts fire, fire restricts metal, and metal, in turn, restricts wood”. The five elements were present in all things in the world and there were only a few other laws that needed to be applied.

Therefore, using the power of the five elements to construct the inner world was much easier than using the power of other Godly Ways.

The five elements within Lucille's body were usually in a balanced state. When she was in the forest of thorns, she released fierce fire and burned all the thorns around her.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As the thorns burned, small explosions could be heard everywhere.

Soon, the thorny forest had burned to ashes.

From these ashes grew a bright green vine that never faded away.

A fire would burn everything in its wake, turning it into ashes.

But there were some plants in this world that were not afraid of fire.

The bright green vine that grew from the ashes was the Flame Fairy Vine.

Not only this vine was not afraid of fire, but it would grow more and more if it came in contact with it. The Flame Fairy Vine could grow in ordinary places, but it was everywhere in the Divine Flame World.

As the vine unfurled, a light purple flower bud rapidly bloomed on the top of the vine. Inside this bud was Shania.

“This woman...”

Lucille frowned. She knew this was going to be tricky.

She had no idea this woman could have such control over the Life Law.

She couldn't kill her.

Shania was sitting like a dignified queen, lying back against the flower as if it were her throne. She stared at Lucille saying indifferently, “I told you before. You don't have the slightest chance to win this fight with me. You might as well skip this battle and focus on facing your next opponent. But since you want me to play with you, then let's go. Let's do this!”

As she finished speaking, a tiny crack appeared in the vine. Black insects started to crawl out one after another. Once outside, the insects would spread their wings and fly towards Lucille like a black cloud in a storm.

“There are too many Heart Eating Insects!”

Lucille murmured as she was shocked, looking at the insects approaching her.

The Heart Eating Insects were ranked fourth on the Magical Insect List.

They could silently drill into a warrior's heart and continuously suck their blood essence. These insects could live like this for dozens of years without the warrior noticing. If the Heart Eating Insects grew up too much, they would rip off the warrior's body, and the warrior would die from having their heart shattered.

The Heart Eating Insects had nearly indestructible pincers that could even drill into all kinds of weapons and bite them, leaving thousands of holes behind.

A group of Heart Eating Insects could devour anything that was put in front of them in a matter of seconds.

Many warriors attached great importance to them because they could eat anything. In the face of many difficult situations, the warriors would use these insects.

Since they were a rare species, the Heart Eating Insects were considered extremely valuable.

No warrior was able to bring any living things into the Illusion Battlefield. So either Shania used her life energy to produce the Heart Eating Insects, or she had caught them within the Illusion Battlefield. Ṝ𝖆₦оᛒĘȘ

There was such a large number of Heart Eating Insects that Lucille would face extreme difficulties dealing with them.

“Humph! It really is her! Only she can control the Life Law so perfectly!” Suddenly, the Ji Clan's patriarch made himself heard.

Hearing his voice, everyone in the Ji Clan was shocked.

“Patriarch, is Shania really the Queen of Life of the Demon Night race?” one of the Ji Clan members asked.

The Ji Clan members had been speculating about Shania's real identity.

The Queen of Life of the Demon Night race had been hiding quietly for the past years. Thinking that she had returned aroused the Ji Clan members' interests.

“Yes. Shania is in reality Latonia, the Queen of Life. I saw this woman before. The Demon Night's three queens all have different personalities. Lavender is a decisive person, but her personality is the simplest. Elena is tyrannical and ruthless. Latonia, however, is scheming and ambitious. I'm afraid she is plotting something.”

It was hard for the Demon Night members to judge their queens correctly because they were submissive and revered their queens.

But the others could see it clearly.

Lavender, the Queen of Killings, was focused on protecting the Demon Night members and didn't care about anything else.

Elena's ambition was to control the entire race and become its sole ruler.

While Elena and Lavender fought their battles, Latonia had remained still. She had not chosen any side nor picked any fights.

But behind the silence, she was conjuring a bigger scheme.

The Ji Clan's patriarch was not able to guess what this scheme was. He knew, however, that to enter the Illusion Battlefield, one needed to be at the Soul Sea Realm. With the cultivation level of a world lord, even if Latonia was to cripple all of her cultivation, she still couldn't fall to the Soul Sea Realm.

The only way was to use the Life Law to reincarnate and reproduce herself.

She would have to pay a big price. The bigger the price, the bigger the prize. So what was she after?

The Ji Clan's patriarch looked worried.

He wasn't paying much attention to what was unfolding during the battle. After all, there was still a chance for Lucille to make a comeback.

When she saw the Heart Eating Insects coming towards her, Lucille decided to face them head on.

Swish! Swish!

She suddenly raised both of her hands and held the hilts of the swords together. Then she started spinning around the swords in her hands.

Whoosh!

At the same time, Lucille started approaching the dark cloud made of insects.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

The two spiraling swords were like a rapidly spinning windmill, slaughtering those Heart Eating Insects extremely fast.

However, the outer carapaces of these Heart Eating Insects were extremely sturdy and would not easily break. The weapon refiners actually considered their carapaces precious materials.

Even though Lucille's swords were sharp, they could only deflect the Heart Eating Insects away, not actually killing them.

But that was enough.

Her goal was getting to Shania.

Lucille still didn't know she was the Queen of Life, though she had a faint guess that someone who could control the Life Law in such way definitely had an extraordinary background.

'That's not her true body, '

Lucille thought as she sprinted towards Shania.

She knew she would only have one opportunity.

Lucille was right in front of Shania, but the latter showed no fear at all. She was still as lazy as a cat, with a smile on her face, without any intention of attacking Lucille. Shania said very casually, “Stop resisting.”

Whoosh!

In one swift move, Lucille threw the two swords in her hands behind her back. The two swords expanded into circles of sword lights, temporarily blocking the Heart Eating Insects behind her.

After that, she approached Shania, her fingertip glowing with a faint light. She was using the same light to sense something.

In an instant, Lucille started to fly downwards.

Sharp glints appeared on her toes—the Crescent Blade.

Lucille stepped without fear on the Crescent Blade and broke through the vine, slashing it in half. Then she finally landed on the Heaven Earth Board.

Her eyes suddenly focused as her embroidered shoes lightly stomped on the board.

Countless Crescent Blades sunk into the Heaven Earth Board.

Noises were heard coming out from the Heaven Earth Board. Lucille's strike almost exhausted her life vitality. She knew that sooner or later she would be exhausted to death fighting the Heart Eating Insects. The only way to obtain victory was to find and kill Shania's real body.

She had used her five-element senses to confirm that Shania's true body was concealed within the Heaven Earth Board.

Lucille closed her eyes and was quietly observing the situation below the board.

The Heart Eating Insects had been able to cross through the spinning swords and were charging straight at her. Lucille chose not to resist.

If she couldn't find Shania, then it would be her loss.
