Chapter 455: Chapter 260: Plasma Sacred Beetle (Larva)

Currently, the Judgment Evil Lotus’s strength was at the Extraordinary Tier, Gold Quality.

Inside a Second Level Secret Realm, Zhong Yi was able to use the Judgment Evil Lotus in battle.

Through its Exclusive Trait, Clan Extermination Evil Blood, the Judgment Evil Lotus could turn the hosts controlled by its lotus seeds into organs for acquiring Energy.

It compelled the host to prey on creatures that shared a similar genetic template.

The Evil Blood secreted by the Judgment Evil Lotus itself could be released through the host as potent pheromones.

These pheromones could break down the genetic template of the entire clan that shared the host’s origin.

This allowed the Judgment Evil Lotus to treat the entire clan as food.

Just a moment ago, Zhong Yi had implanted a seed from the Judgment Evil Lotus into the body of a heavily injured Elite Wolf Insect that had collapsed.

He had then used the Resurrection Celestial Lord to heal it.

The Judgment Evil Lotus had now begun using its Evil Blood, causing the Elite Wolf Insect to release the pheromones.

Before this, Zhong Yi had conducted an experiment using the pheromones released by this Elite Wolf Insect.

When facing creatures whose Tier and Quality were not higher than its own, the Judgment Evil Lotus’s pheromones took effect with extreme speed.

In less than two minutes, non-Elite Wolf Insect units would begin to show aberrant mutations under the pheromones’ influence.

Because Zhong Yi had used a Soul Taming Seed Contract and nurtured it with Flowing Soul Soil, the Judgment Evil Lotus was at Gold Quality within this Second Level Secret Realm.

In terms of Quality, it was already a level higher than ordinary Extraordinary Tier creatures.

Zhong Yi wanted to test if these ten thousand-plus Wolf Insects could enable the Judgment Evil Lotus to condense a single drop of Pure Dew through its Exclusive Trait, Lotus-Quenched Pure Dew.

The Pure Dew condensed by the Judgment Evil Lotus had the effect of supplementing incomplete Rule Authority.

This substance wasn’t as valuable as a great treasure that could grant Rule Authority to other creatures or strengthen a complete one.

However, it was the best possible tonic for Bizarre creatures that had grasped Rule Authority.

It allowed the incomplete Rule grasped by a Bizarre creature to gradually become whole, thanks to the Pure Dew secreted by the Judgment Evil Lotus.

He figured that if this Pure Dew condensed by the Judgment Evil Lotus were sold on the Virtual Source Network, the price wouldn’t be any lower than five thousand Divine Origin Value.

After all, Evil Lotus Pure Dew was a material related to Rules.

When she had asked Zhong Yi for help, Zhong Ling was already commanding over 300 Undead Elite Wolf Insects controlled by her Reincarnation Nether Butterfly.

They had tightly encircled Zhong Yi and the others, forming a protective circle nearly 10 meters in diameter.

The several Bitter Anger Beasts, each over 20 meters tall, were not inside this protective circle.

Having absorbed enough pain to reach their maximum potential, the Bitter Anger Beasts already possessed Fantasy Tier combat power.

Thanks to the Liaoyuan Cluster Fire burning tens of thousands of Wolf Insects, even if some Elite Wolf Insects could tear flesh from the massive Bitter Anger Beasts’ bodies...

...the Bitter Anger Beasts were still able to use the damage suffered by those Wolf Insects to recover from their own injuries.

Shen Xuan had already made his Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother sever some of its silk tendrils, which were now drifting in the air.

The charging Wolf Insects had a hard time noticing the tendrils’ presence.

Once they touched a tendril, they would be stung and infected with a toxin containing the Rule Authority, Erosion of All Things.

The Rhombic Diamond Golem Ghost stood guard behind the swarm-wall formed by the 300 Undead Wolf Insects, positioned in front of Zhong Yi and the others.

It was ready to engage any Wolf Insects that broke through the swarm-wall at a moment’s notice.

Zhong Yi reached out and patted the docile Wolf Insect lying on the ground before him, then said to Zhong Ling,

"If we want to defeat the swarm, we’re going to have to rely on it!"

Zhong Ling, Shen Xuan, and the others didn’t know what Zhong Yi meant.

But they all knew that at a time like this, Zhong Yi wouldn’t be joking.

The swarm crashed into the Undead Elite Wolf Insects, and a massive battle instantly erupted.

Because the protective circle formed by the 300 Undead Elite Wolf Insects was simply too small...

...the Wolf Insects at the rear of the Wolf Insect Tide had no way of making contact with the Undead Elite Wolf Insects.

Let alone launch an attack.

The Wolf Insects were quite good at jumping, but before these leaping Wolf Insects could even land...

...they were treated as mid-air targets by the Blade Butterflies and Blade Princess Butterflies that Zhong Ling controlled.

Time ticked by, second by second. One after another, the Undead Elite Wolf Insects were torn to shreds.

But a large number of living Wolf Insects were also killed.

Zhong Ling had been continuously having her Reincarnation Nether Butterfly cast the Skill, Death Speech Passage.

However, because she had previously used Death Speech Passage to control these 300-plus Elite Wolf Insects, she had already consumed most of the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly’s Energy.

The Reincarnation Nether Butterfly no longer had the power to convert many more Wolf Insects.

So, Zhong Ling simply used the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly’s remaining Energy to activate its Exclusive Trait: Reincarnation Sacrifice.

The dissipated Soul Fires of the already-defeated Undead Elite Wolf Insects were rekindled.

One by one, their souls returned to their peak state and rejoined the battle, at the cost of their chance at reincarnation.

Hundreds of Undead Elite Wolf Insects rose to their feet, bringing the situation back under control once more.

But this defense meant nothing in the face of a Wolf Insect Tide composed of tens of thousands.

Sun Ya was still having her Liaoyuan Cluster Fire use its unfurled Fire Realm to burn the Fungal Mat.

In the distance, more Wolf Insect Squads rushed over to join the Wolf Insect Tide.

Zhong Yi checked the time. A little over two minutes had passed.

’The relatively weaker Wolf Insects in the swarm should be about to mutate from their genetic templates collapsing.’

Just as Zhong Yi had this thought, disturbances broke out in multiple places within the swarm.

The commotion caused the swarm’s offensive to slow down abruptly.

Large numbers of ordinary Wolf Insects fell to the ground, their bodies wracked with continuous, aberrant mutations.

The mutating flesh and blood crushed their carapaces, bursting the sturdy Insect Armor from within.

A Wolf Insect that looked perfectly fine on the outside, from the moment the mutation began...

...would transform into a bloody, mangled, tumor-covered monster in just a few dozen seconds.

This monster would then madly attack the Wolf Insects beside it until it completely ceased to live.

At first, these aberrant mutations only occurred among the ordinary Wolf Insects. Gradually, even the Elite Wolf Insects began to show signs of mutating.

When more than half of the Wolf Insects began to mutate due to their collapsing genetic templates, the Wolf Insect Tide could no longer pose any threat to Zhong Yi and the others.

While Shen Xuan couldn’t see clearly past the protective circle of Undead Wolf Insects, Zhong Ling, with her Butterfly Guardian Beasts; He Guoguo, with her giant Bitter Anger Beast; and Sun Ya, with her Liaoyuan Cluster Fire’s Fire Realm, all clearly perceived the situation inside the swarm!

The three of them turned to look at Zhong Yi in utter shock, then at the Elite Wolf Insect lying on the ground before him.

Zhong Yi had said they could rely on this single Elite Wolf Insect to deal with a tide of over ten thousand Wolf Insects.

They just never expected it would be resolved in such a Bizarre way.

All three were intensely curious about what method Zhong Yi had used.

Zhong Yi checked on the Judgment Evil Lotus and discovered that through its Exclusive Trait, Lotus-Quenched Pure Dew...

...it had annihilated a swarm composed of tens of thousands of Wolf Insects, yet he couldn’t see even a shadow of any Pure Dew.

This meant that over ten thousand Wolf Insects were simply too few for the Judgment Evil Lotus to condense Pure Dew.

Although it had failed to condense any Pure Dew, this battle had proven to Zhong Yi the clan-wide lethality of the Judgment Evil Lotus’s Exclusive Trait, Clan Extermination Evil Blood.

Suddenly, Zhong Yi felt the distant ground begin to tremble violently.

A behemoth the size of a small mountain erupted from the ground in the distance.

This behemoth was a giant beetle, dark brown all over.

In terms of size, it was much larger than even the Bitter Anger Beasts, which had already reached their maximum size.

A twenty-meter-long Bitter Anger Beast in front of this giant beetle was like a toddler standing before a full-grown adult.

Zhong Ling took out her Secret Realm Pass to check the information on the giant beetle before them.

"Young Master, this is a Plasma Sacred Beetle larva!"

"The Secret Realm Pass says an adult Plasma Sacred Beetle can reach the Fantasy Tier Peak, or even the Mythical Tier, and can grow to over a hundred meters long."

Zhong Yi gazed at the sixty-plus-meter-long larval Plasma Sacred Beetle in the distance, his expression turning strange.

For an ordinary six-person squad exploring the Second Level Wolf Insect Secret Realm, encountering a larval Plasma Sacred Beetle...

...was like choking to death just from drinking water—a bout of supremely bad luck!
