In all the spatial rifts, there was one rift where a vast snowfield could be seen.

Amidst the swirling snow and wind, stood a white-haired man with two long antennae on his forehead, his figure almost blending into the expanse of white.

At this moment, he was looking up in this direction, with no change in expression on his face.

Suddenly, the man grinned, his figure soaring up, his hands parting in front of him, a hazy white light shining from within, directly penetrating the spatial rift.

Immediately afterward, the hazy white light suddenly surged, actually tearing the original spatial rift, which was only a few zhang in size, to a hundred zhang. The white-haired man's figure flashed, and he passed through it, entering this extraterritorial space.

The moment he stepped into the extraterritorial void, a snow-white light shone around the man, directly shattering the incoming spatial storm. His figure flashed, and he arrived in front of the golden beetle, cupping his fists and kneeling down.

"Your subordinate, Shuang Bai, welcomes the return of my King," the white-haired man said excitedly, respectfully.

As soon as his voice fell, in another void, a beautiful young woman in a white gauze dress, leading hundreds of ant-headed men in black armor, crossed over from one of the rifts.

Outside the rift, there were densely packed black-armored ant soldiers, standing in neat rows like an army, stationed there.

"Shuang Bai, I thought Qing Feng would be the first to arrive, but I didn't expect it to be you, this lazy fellow," the beautiful young woman said with a smile as she saw the white-haired man.

"Yi Qiu..." Shuang Bai heard the words, looked back at her, and called out indifferently.

"Still alone, still with that cold and aloof look, still... oh, your cultivation has improved quite a bit?" The young woman named Yi Qiu said with some surprise.

In her memory, most of the eight great war generals under the King's seat had died in the battle against the Heavenly Court back then, and among the three who survived, Shuang Bai was the most severely injured besides Qing Feng.

"I failed to help the King defend against the enemy back then, and I was lucky enough to survive. How dare I not cultivate with all my strength? It's a pity that I can never reach the King's realm," Shuang Bai said.

"It's good that you can think this way." At this moment, a voice as thin as a mosquito suddenly sounded from Shuang Bai's shoulder.

Yi Qiu and Shuang Bai were both startled, and then relaxed.

A buzzing sound rang out from Shuang Bai's shoulder, and a green bee, no bigger than a fingertip, was flapping its wings.

It flew out of Shuang Bai's shoulder, and suddenly a flash of green light transformed it into a tall man in green soft armor, who landed in front of the two.

The man looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, with shoulder-length wavy black hair scattered behind his head. His face looked tired, covered in a blue-black stubble, looking like a down-and-out drunkard, as if he hadn't woken up.

However, his eyes were full of divine light, especially the golden lines around the pupils, which seemed to have a strange luster that captivated the soul, making him unforgettable.

Seeing this, the black-armored ant soldiers behind Yi Qiu took out their weapons, ready to surround him.

"Fall back." Yi Qiu raised one hand, stopping the ant soldiers' actions.

"Qing Feng, it seems that your concealment laws have improved again. Neither of us noticed. When did you arrive here?" Shuang Bai frowned and asked.

"I came immediately after receiving the King's call." Qing Feng rubbed his cheeks and said.

"Have you heard the King's instructions?" Yi Qiu asked quickly.

"No, since I arrived, the King has not spoken to me." Qing Feng glanced at the golden beetle and shook his head.

As soon as his voice fell, a burst of golden light surged in front of the golden beetle, and a female phantom flew out, hovering in mid-air. Her eyes were full of golden light, and she swept over the people in front of her without any emotional fluctuations.

The woman's appearance was quite young, and she even had a few traces of a young girl, and was Jin Tong.

"Your subordinates pay respects to the Insect Ancestor." Seeing this, Qing Feng and the other two were overjoyed and bowed to the ground.

"Today, I will try to return to the position of Dao Ancestor. I hope you will protect me and resist all invading enemies." Jin Tong's gaze slowly swept over the three of them and said.

"We will not hesitate to die." The eyes of the three flickered with joy, and they responded one after another.

The female phantom nodded, said nothing more, and slowly retreated, re-integrating into the golden beetle.

In an instant, the golden beetle's light became more and more dazzling, and a very special wave was transmitted from it, constantly rippling around.

The surrounding spatial rifts also slowly oscillated, transmitting the waves.

The spirit insects that came from the Immortal Realm became even more frantic, rushing through the rifts and heading towards the extraterritorial space. The Gold Devouring Insects scattered everywhere also flew out of it, constantly pouring into the golden light.

Among these Gold Devouring Insects, there were both immature larvae and Gold Devouring Immortals who had cultivated to the Taiyi realm, but there were no more Gold Devouring Immortals at the Daluo level, all of whom had merged with Jin Tong.

"Xuan Yuanjie will not give up, and we must be prepared." Qing Feng pondered slightly and said.

"Even if it means shattering our bones, we must not let him threaten the King this time." Shuang Bai's face turned cold and he said coldly.

"I will control the insects to set up the formation, and you pay attention to the rifts, don't let the enemy sneak in." Yi Qiu glanced around and said slowly.

"I will first drive away those distant Heavenly Demons who are spying, and I will leave this place to you." Qing Feng turned his gaze and looked at the huge cloud of Heavenly Demons in the distance.

As soon as his voice fell, the tired expression on his face suddenly disappeared. A golden light flashed in his eyes, and the aura on his body completely disappeared in an instant.

Yi Qiu and Shuang Bai were dazed for a moment, and Qing Feng's figure disappeared.

"He... is stronger than before." Yi Qiu frowned and said.

Among the three, she was the least injured back then, and now she has the lowest cultivation level.

Shuang Bai saw the guilt and loss in her eyes and comforted her: "You are good at controlling subordinates and setting up formations, so don't pay too much attention to other things, just do what you should do."

Yi Qiu nodded when she heard the words, flew up, and swept into the front of the golden beetle, and all the black-armored ant soldiers behind her hurried to follow.

After she ordered all the soldiers, all the soldiers began to disperse and fly away, mingling into the entire insect swarm army surrounding the golden beetle.

Soon, the originally chaotic insect swarm began to separate and combine in an orderly manner, like a disciplined army, and was arranged by Yi Qiu like an arm.

As more and more spirit insects joined, a huge spirit insect formation gradually emerged.

Shuang Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the scene in front of him, he took a deep breath, and a flash of blue light spread out an extremely cold white mist, which spread to the surrounding area.

His divine sense also dispersed in the spreading mist, closely watching the situation in all the surrounding spatial rifts.

……

As time passed, the ranks of the insect swarm army became larger and larger. Countless insects with either excellent innate talents or high cultivation levels withstood the oppression of the extraterritorial space and came to Jin Tong's side to defend their King.

Under Yi Qiu's command, these insect swarm armies were densely distributed in the extraterritorial space, forming a huge formation in the shape of a giant scorpion. One of its two scorpion claws was snow-white, emitting a cold aura, and the other was ink-green, burning with a ghostly green flame.

The huge scorpion tail raised high behind it had a hook-like poisonous stinger, which flashed with sharp light.

Jin Tong was now completely submerged in golden light, and there was no beetle figure inside. Only a huge golden ball of light could be seen, like a treasure bead, protected by the giant scorpion on its back. There were bursts of strong attraction around it, constantly spreading.

At this moment, a huge sound like a yellow bell suddenly came from the light ball on the back of the giant scorpion. The light ball exuded a hazy light, and a delicate female phantom condensed out, hovering above the golden ball, naturally Jin Tong.

Only to hear her mouth chant lightly, her hands suddenly opened, seemingly making a gesture of welcoming, and in front of her chest, a golden vortex floated out of thin air, like a funnel connecting to the golden ball below.

Immediately afterward, the spatial rifts in the surrounding void suddenly vibrated violently, and countless dense Gold Devouring Insects poured in from various rifts, like golden waterfalls falling into the golden vortex.

The originally deep extraterritorial space, under the illumination of this dazzling golden light, seemed to have an extra sun out of thin air, and the golden light filled millions of miles around.

Yi Qiu, standing on the head of the giant scorpion, looked back at this spectacular scene, her excited expression was hard to hide, and her eyes could not help but get wet. Not far from her, a white mist condensed, and Shuang Bai's figure emerged.

"After waiting for these endless years, we have finally waited for this day." Shuang Bai stared at Jin Tong's figure and murmured.

Yi Qiu glanced at him, then looked at the distance, and asked, "Where's Qing Feng? Hasn't he returned yet?"

"The extraterritorial Heavenly Demons are not so easy to deal with, but he should be back soon." Shuang Bai said.

Yi Qiu heard the words and wanted to say something, but her expression suddenly changed.

She turned her gaze, just about to look at the largest spatial rift in the void directly in front of her, but found that Shuang Bai's figure beside her had disappeared from the spot and rushed towards that side first.

But before Shuang Bai could reach that side, a black shadow flashed in that spatial rift, and a mountain peak hundreds of zhang high protruded out of it, directly appearing in the extraterritorial space.

"Damn it."

Yi Qiu said secretly, her figure immediately soared up, but she did not rush recklessly towards the mountain peak. Instead, she moved her mind and commanded the giant scorpion below to raise its two huge scorpion claws, making a gesture of being ready for battle.
