Although the Bionic Eye of Destruction on Luo Feng's forehead could detect the spiritual Woman's figure, he couldn't identify her.

This was because the Insect Nest Master's true form and spiritual clone were entirely distinct- both in appearance and aura!

"The Lord of the Insect Nest?" Changqing Tower Master used the Dan Tower's formation to glimpse the spiritual woman's presence, and he was utterly shocked upon seeing her!

He had encountered the Insect Lord numerous times and had even seen the Insect Lord's spiritual clone before!

"Chang Qing."

The spiritual woman, stood there coldly, gazing at the Changqing Tower Master. A mental wave resonated:

"Just because this so-called God Emperor Luo Feng has joined your Dan Tower, you think you can ignore me? Recklessly expanding your business like this?"

"I'm not expanding recklessly," the Changqing Tower Master responded calmly.

"This is normal competition. My prices for same elixirs have always been lower than your Insect Nest, and I am simply continuing my usual supply. Naturally, people in Yulan City prefer to buy from me."

"Hmph!"

The Mind Woman sneered, her gaze piercing.

"Do you really think you have the qualifications to compete with me?"

A cold shiver ran through the Changqing Tower Master's heart!

"It seems I've been too lenient with you all this time." The spiritual woman sighed. "Perhaps it's time to remind you who you're dealing with."

"Lord of the Insect Nest, we are both practitioners from the Origin World, and we both have clones. Why do you have to bully us like this?"

The spiritual Woman chuckled, her voice laced with mockery.

"I bully you every time I see you~~What can you even do about it?"

The spiritual woman sneered, her gaze sweeping over Luo Feng in the distance.

"So, you're the infamous God Emperor Luo Feng?"

"Are you sure you want to meddle in my affairs with the Lord of Changqing Tower?"

"Think carefully- if you interfere, you will have to pay the price." The spiritual woman looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng met her gaze unwaveringly.

"I have accepted the Changqing Tower Master's request," he said. "As the deputy master of the Dan Tower, I have no intention of making enemies with the Insect Nest. However, I must protect the Dan Tower, no matter what."

The spiritual woman nodded. "I see."

Suddenly, her eyes turned pitch black, her voice deep and ominous. "Let's see if you have the strength to back up that arrogance!"

"Brother Luo Feng, be careful!" The Chang Qing Tower Master transmitted a warning. "This is just her spiritual clone, but she specializes in mental pollution!"

Luo Feng remained composed. "I know. Since I accepted this position, I was prepared to face the Lord of the Insect Nest. Her abilities are no secret in Yulan City."

The Lord of the Insect Nest had once suffered severe mental pollution during her early years.

Even after reaching the late God Emperor stage, she failed to achieve perfection due to the lingering pollution.

To counter this, she switched to the Bloodline cultivation, exchanging all her accumulated resources in the Dark Holy Realm for a high-level Hunyuan Bloodline- the "Eternal Cicada Tomb" Bloodline.

This unique bloodline thrives on mental pollution- instead of weakening her, it strengthens her.

As long as she retains even a sliver of clarity, her pollution grows even more terrifying, enhancing her power exponentially.

Legends has it that...

If her spiritual will could completely break free from the cage and harness the pollution fully, she might awaken the true power of the "Eternal Cicada Tomb"- ascending into an even higher-level Hunyuan life form.

"This time, she has only sent a spiritual clone, meaning her attacks are purely based on spiritual techniques," Luo Feng thought to himself.

"In the Dark Holy Realm, she has done everything possible to enhance her mind-pollution abilities! With the "Eternal Cicada Tomb" bloodline, she can remain lucid despite the pollution!"

"But if any other semi-Hunyuan level expert comes into contact with her, even if they can resist, they would need a long time and have to pay a heavy price to gradually cleanse themselves of the pollution."

"That's why, even among the elders, many fear the Master of the Insect Nest, despite having mind and willpower at the semi-Hunyuan level!"

"But no matter how terrifying her power is, she can't pollute me," Luo Feng thought.

But Luo Feng has no such fear!

He has the Immortal Heart, granting resistance to mental pollution. On top of that, he possesses the secret technique "Lie Yuan Technique", left behind by Senior Yuan.

"Why should I fear her?" Luo Feng smirked inwardly.

The spiritual woman suddenly appeared right in front of Luo Feng, embracing him gently.

This was the power of the mind, surpassing even the speed of light!

Luo Feng found himself entwined by her, his body now covered in twisted, frenzied faces.

At that moment, as she wrapped herself around him, the entire world around Luo Feng... vanished!

At this moment, Luo Feng saw the illusory form of the Insect Nest Master standing before him.

This spectral Insect Nest was imprisoning countless consciousnesses- faces twisted in agony, struggling against their fate. The nest wasn't just an illusion; it was actively corroding Luo Feng as well!

"How many practitioners have you slaughtered? Not only you killed them but completely devoured their souls- assimilating them into yourself?"

As soon as Luo Feng felt the encroaching pollution, he immediately understood the Nest Master's horrifying nature.

She didn't merely annihilate her victims; she absorbed them. Every soul she had devoured became a permanent part of her Insect Nest, their consciousnesses trapped in eternal torment. Though she appeared to be just one individual, in truth, she contained the spiritual will of billions of creatures!

Yet, in this endless sea of consciousness, her will was the only one that reigned supreme- everything else was nothing more than fuel.

"How much pollution could I bear alone?" the Insect Lord sneered.

"So I made them bear it with me- forever sharing the burden! This... is the power of the unity! Hahaha!"

"Luo Feng~ The pollution I endured in the Endless Nightmare... you should experience it too," the Insect Lord's voice echoed ominously as the pollution seeped deeper!

This was the very reason why many elders dreaded her- mental pollution was far worse than destruction.

The Insect Nest Master didn't just invade minds; she imposed the weight of billions of tormented souls onto her victims. For any elder, being tainted by this pollution was worse than losing multiple clones- it was a fate worse than death!

But then...

"Hmm? What's going on?"

The Insect Lord frowned.

She had attempted every trick she knew, probing for weaknesses, searching for a single crack in Luo Feng's defenses- yet nothing worked.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't leave a single stain on him!

"Lord of the Insect Nest, perhaps you should focus on your own cultivation," Luo Feng's voice was laced with contempt.

"You've slaughtered billions of practitioners, turning them into eternal prisoners just to sustain yourself. Scum like you should have perished long ago!"

His killing intent was overwhelming!

Luo Feng regretted only one thing- he wasn't strong enough. The Insect Nest Lord was from the Origin World and had multiple clones. Eradicating her completely was nearly impossible!

"So that's why you dared to help the Changqing Tower Master~~ You actually have a way to resist my soul pollution."

The Insect Lord narrowed her eyes.

"This time, I only sent a spiritual clone to warn you. Next time, I'll come myself."

Realizing she couldn't touch Luo Feng, she prepared to withdraw.

But Luo Feng sneered.

"Who do you think you are to issue warnings?"

"You scum!"

(Lie Yuan Technique!)

Luo Feng did not hesitate!

His mental will had already reached the perfection God Emperor level.

Recently, while comprehending the Hunyuan Bloodline, he has touched upon a higher truth- his will has advanced further, approaching the threshold of the ultimate barrier!

Before breaking free from the cage, Senior Yuan's mental will had reached its absolute peak. This was a level even elders and Semi-Hunyuan beings struggled to attain!

Yet, very few had access to the legendary mental secret techniques passed down by Senior Yuan.

For generations, the founding ancestors of the two ancient nations and the Three Major Alien Clans had sought these techniques- even if they weren't compatible with their own cultivation, they still desired them.

Because this was a will-based secret technique that even the God Emperors could not create!

Luo Feng had studied the Lie Yuan Technique for ages, but only recently, in his insight into the Hunyuan Bloodline, had he glimpsed the key to breaking free from the cage- perfect unity.

The ultimate transformation lay in the seamless fusion of all mysteries!

And with that newfound understanding, Luo Feng's grasp of the Lie Yuan Technique deepened. His very presence radiated the essence of a perfect, natural balance.

"Destroy!"

At that moment, Luo Feng's mind and will surged to their absolute peak. And unleashed the "Lie Yuan Technique"!

A tiny, slowly rotating star appeared in the Insect Lord's vision.

This star- smaller and more unassuming than before- was now refined to absolute precision, its aura fully contained.

And yet, within its quiet restraint...

lay an unfathomable power!

"Boom!"

The Insect Lord's spiritual clone had no way to evade- it could only watch as the small star rolled toward it!

"A mental secret technique?"

The Insect Nest Master's Spiritual Clone remained unfazed. She had battled with countless powerful beings in mental combat. How could she possibly fear Luo Feng's spiritual will attack?

Yet-

"Boom!"

The moment the tiny star struck, the Insect Nest Master's mental form trembled violently!

Her form instantly transformed from a terrified woman into an spectral insect nest- its most stable state.

But even this spectral Insect Nest couldn't withstand the force of Luo Feng's attack!

The small star ripped through the nest, tearing, piercing, and crushing it apart!

"How is this possible?!"

For the first time, the Insect Nest Master's voice carried fear.

This rolling star was so small, so ordinary- yet it was unshakable!

Only now did she realize- this star contained an innate charm, something eerily similar to the bloodline aura she had once exchanged- the "Eternal Cicada Tomb"!

"Could it be... he has obtained the secret techniques of Senior Yuan and the others?!"

A terrifying realization struck her.

Her Spectral Insect Nest was collapsing from within- billions of fused souls were being crushed. Yet, instead of despair, their faces showed smiles of relief as they disintegrated!

The Insect Nest, once perfectly stable, was now in complete chaos!

The system also began to riot- and the suppression of various mental pollution had gone berserk!

"Not good! my spiritual clones is injured! I can't suppress the pollution anymore- I need to return immediately!"

Without hesitation, the Insect Nest Master's spiritual clone fled through the void, racing toward her true nest!

Her voice echoed as she departed-

"Luo Feng! I didn't expect you to wield such a powerful mental secret technique! I may have suffered a loss today- but next time, I will have my revenge!"

With that, her presence vanished into the distance.

Spiritual Clones- whether attacking or retreating- moves at speeds far beyond the limits of physical bodies.

Luo Feng barely had time to unleash the Lie Yuan Technique once again- before he could strike again, the Insect Nest Master's clone had already disappeared without a trace!

He exhaled lightly.

"A pure soul clone really does flee quickly," Luo Feng muttered.

Beside him, the Changqing Tower Master was staring at him in shock.

"You... you defeated the Lord of the Insect Nest?!"

His voice was filled with disbelief.

When he invited Luo Feng, he had only hoped that Luo Feng could use the pre-arranged defensive formations to buy some time. He had never considered the possibility of actually defeating the Insect Nest Lord!

After all, the Lord of the Insect Nest wasn't just an ordinary elder-

Below the three grand halls of Yulan City, the Insect Nest Master, the Lord of the Guifang, and Elder Xing Yi were considered top-tier figures. Their strength far exceeded that of regular God Emperors!

Most elders only reached the late-stage God Emperor level through one Dao.

But the Insect Nest Master and the Lord of the Guifang had comprehended two different daos, making them far more powerful than ordinary God Emperors!

Yet now- Luo Feng had forced one of them to retreat!

But Luo Feng remained serious.

"It was just a soul fragment of hers- not even worth mentioning."

Then, his expression darkened.

"The real problem is her true body. The Lord of the Insect Nest has multiple secret treasures. If she comes in person next time... her power will be on a completely different level."

Meanwhile-

Inside the massive Insect Nest, the Insect Nest Master's spiritual clone had returned.

She trembled in agony, overwhelmed by the aftereffects of Luo Feng's strike!

"Damn you, Luo Feng!"

He had no idea how much damage his Lie Yuan Technique had inflicted.

Killing a few Insect Lord's clones would have been troublesome enough- but this was far worse.

The soul pollution within the Insect Nest was now completely out of control!

She has to stabilize the situation immediately.

There was no time to seek revenge-

No time to deal with anything else-

Only one priority remained: stabilizing the Insect Nest before it collapses!
