Chapter 2842 - 6: Jia Yan’s News!

In fact, Jia Yan was right.

Far away, on the other end of the Starry Sky, a massive space in the form of an energy sphere has now become a focal point for the Strong Ones in the vicinity.

This enormous energy space has recently made quite a splash because, in this area between two major Galactic forces, there are hardly any powers that dare to stop here in plain sight and openly engage in the trade of cultivation resources and energy.

No, it should be said that this has never happened before.

Even the powerful Dragons passing by would not dare to disregard the face of the two forces within this Starry Sky. To be local powers is no mere saying; in places like this, connections and strength are equally important.

No traveling Dragon would dare easily provoke the local powers.

But the forces within the Energy Circle are different; they not only provoked but even fought alongside the two powers in a battle.

And what left people astounded was that this new force within the Energy Sphere wasn’t actually weak.

Especially the creator of this Energy Circle, also its Strongest entity—a massive yet graceful female Giant Beast, whose combat power astonishingly and firmly suppressed the strongest among the two great forces...

However... it was just suppression after all.

"I never thought that the Milky Way Central is the Central Starfield of the Milky Way. Just arrived here, and already encountered a Domain Master Creature I can’t kill."

Inside the Energy Circle, the Insect Clan Queen, who had consumed quite a lot of energy, appeared extremely solemn.

After battling with two Domain Master Creatures in succession, she had depleted too much energy and was quickly replenishing it.

She was serious, for around the wide Starfield of the Insect Clan’s Domain, she was an absolute King. Since last time she fought against many, exterminating numerous Domain Master Creatures, no other existence dared provoke her, not even the Domain Master Creatures stayed away out of respect.

But just after arriving in the Central Starfield of the Milky Way, she chose a place to settle and was found by two surrounding forces with Domain Master existences.

Initially, she was very confident, understanding that her talent was formidable externally, yet in the Central Starfield of the Milky Way, might at most be seen as above average or slightly exceptional. Randomly entering the interior of the Central Starfield of the Milky Way and dealing with two Domain Master Creatures should still be easy.

But the reality surprised her.

The two Domain Master Creatures didn’t join forces against her, instead fought one by one, yet both managed to escape from her grasp.

Indeed, even though they only escaped, it felt like a cold bucket of water had been poured on the Insect Clan Queen.

Her confidence, initially believing at least her strength should make waves upon first arriving in the Central Starfield of the Milky Way and that only after a certain degree would she encounter obstacles, was shattered unexpectedly without even taking the first step solidly.

"If they both teamed up against me... I might not die, but definitely wouldn’t win."

The Insect Clan Queen’s pride was truly frustrating to her.

Even those temporary Subordinates surrounding her, every Star River Level existence, she felt a bit embarrassed as they looked at her.

Having come with so much assurance alongside everyone, the result of the first battle was such.

Should it be attributed to the merits of the Central Starfield of the Milky Way, or should it be said she overestimated herself?

"Well, at least there is still a chance to suppress these two Domain Masters, as long as they don’t join forces, they likely won’t proactively cause trouble in this desolate place void of planets. How are your casualties?"

The Insect Clan Queen was not entirely lacking in city hall; after a brief moment of self-reflection, she turned to inquire the Subordinates around her.

"In two battles, our losses are within a reasonable range. Two Star River Level existences died, ten Stellar Level ones perished, and hundreds of weaker creatures below them."

Black Sheep next to her responded lightly.

"That’s good; the losses are within acceptable limits."

The Insect Clan Queen appeared a little tired, nodding slightly: "By the way, is there still no news of Jia Yan?"

She recalled this talented being previously prepared to lay down the Energy Circle to enhance their strength. If it weren’t for being on the move at the time, perhaps the Insect Clan Queen would have stopped the Energy Circle to protect Jia Yan’s promotion.

After all, a Star River Middle Stage existence is still extremely important within her immature little circle.

However, now in this Starfield, Star River Middle Stage seems almost ubiquitous, so the personal attachment to Jia Yan isn’t as deep.

"No, either Jia Yan is dead or he’s scared."

When Black Sheep heard the Insect Clan Queen mention Jia Yan, he snorted slightly.

For some unknown reason, he didn’t have many pleasant memories with Jia Yan from the start.

But upon arriving at this Central Starfield of the Milky Way, Black Sheep understood the vastness of the world and looked at the things he had been preoccupied with more openly, reducing his hostility towards Jia Yan.

Of course, this was partly because Jia Yan hadn’t returned to the force. If he did return, Black Sheep would likely feel as if he had eaten something foul and definitely would be set on dealing with Jia Yan.

"Alas, his talent is good; I was hoping if he served me, he could potentially be the next you."

The Insect Clan Queen apparently holds Jia Yan in quite a high regard.

Upon hearing this, Black Sheep’s expression turned even colder.

He was rather conceited, within this hastily-created faction of the Insect Clan Queen, he recognized no one apart from the Insect Clan Queen herself as being at par in terms of strength or talent.

He even thought he might soon reach the Domain Master Level, and if someday achieving Domain Master Level, with an opportunity to challenge the Insect Clan Queen’s strength... he might possibly win her heart.

Of course, such thoughts remained confined within his mind; if spoken aloud, he would definitely be slapped dead by the Insect Clan Queen.

Black Sheep initially thought that upon reaching the Central Galaxy, the Insect Clan Queen he had been pining for might fade into the crowd, but arriving at this place, he realized though she was no longer dominant like in the outside world, she remained equally outstanding, amplifying his inner desires.

Conquering a female with talent and status is something desired by both strong and weak alike.

"That Jia Yan, either he’s scared or he’s dead, it’s unlikely he’ll return. If he does return, I’ll be careful of him vying for power with me."

Black Sheep knew Jia Yan was not his romantic rival; Jia Yan and the Insect Clan Queen, after all, shared no special sentiments, but with Jia Yan advancing to Star River Middle Stage, he theoretically stood at a similar level, and Jia Yan’s undeniably good talent meant he might contend with Black Sheep for power in the future.

So, with Jia Yan unable to return, Black Sheep was fundamentally glad.

"Huh... someone has sent us a message..."

"In a location fifteen light years away, there’s supposedly sightings of Jia Yan?"

Unexpectedly, Black Sheep and the Insect Clan Queen both received such a message.

"Damn it, still alive!"

Black Sheep’s expression subtly changed.

As for the Insect Clan Queen, she calmly glanced at Black Sheep, then as if with human-like graceful features, a faint smile bloomed.

"Great, Jia Yan must have encountered something during his promotion, causing a delay. Now he’s arrived at the Central Starfield of the Milky Way, and will surely come to find us. Send word to him, tell him to come over; we need manpower, and his presence as a Star River Middle Stage is quite a good assistance."

Witnessing the Insect Clan Queen’s expression, Black Sheep sighed and shook his head slightly.

He knew the Insect Clan Queen was well aware of his certain enmity with Jia Yan, or rather, Black Sheep’s unilateral dissatisfaction with Jia Yan, yet the Insect Clan Queen had not stopped it, intending for a healthy competition between them instead.

But this condescension left Black Sheep feeling very unpleasant.

After all, he dared to envision having the Insect Clan Queen herself, but now being used by her strategically like this got under his skin.

"By the way!"
