The Insect Kings that have condensed the Great Path Patterns!

With two Immortal Emperors and twenty-eight Daluo Golden Immortals (Immortal Kings) guarding, Lv Zhong was not worried about the ladies encountering any trouble.

Besides, he had secretly left a shadow clone within each of his slaves.

If an irresistible danger arose, that shadow clone could instantly transform into Lv Zhong’s true self.

The reason Lv Zhong didn’t accompany the ladies shopping was, firstly, as someone born on Earth, he deeply understood the horror of shopping with women.

Moreover, Zheng Linglong, Yan Yan, Xu Xinyan, and other ladies had been cooped up in the time-accelerated space for more than a thousand years.

Now that they had arrived at the Immortal Illusion Star filled with exotic ambiences, they wouldn’t stop until they shopped to their heart’s content.

Lv Zhong certainly didn’t want to go shopping with these women who had been cooped up for a thousand years.

Even cultivating in seclusion for a thousand years would be more relaxing than shopping with this group of women.

“I’ll go check on my Insect Army—” After the ladies left Muyue Residence, Lv Zhong left a faith avatar to guard the courtyard while his true self once again flashed into the Great Annihilation Pearl and then escaped into the Earth Cauldron.

Last time, he utterly stripped Okasi of his divinity, causing all his magical power to vanish in an instant.

However, Okasi still had great use.

His body and soul were both bound by Lv Zhong within the Great Annihilation Pearl.

Of course, there was also the soul of the already deceased Ye Shenxing.

Although the Husky had been taken by Lv Zhong as a complete slave, Ye Shenxing’s soul was given exclusively to the Soul Devouring Insect Emperor by Lv Zhong.

The strength of the Soul Devouring Insect Emperor naturally could not compare with Ye Shenxing, and even just with a soul remaining, Ye Shenxing still had a “divine” soul, powerful in its own right.

The Soul Devouring Insect Emperor alone could not hope to devour his soul.

However, the Soul Devouring Insect Emperor was the king of an entire clan and could mobilize the power of the entire Soul Devouring Bug clan to tear Ye Shenxing’s soul into countless pieces.

Previously, in order for the Soul Devouring Insect Emperor to completely devour the massive energy within Ye Shenxing’s soul, Lv Zhong transferred the Soul Devouring Bug clan into the Earth Cauldron, overlapping it with other top-tier magical treasures to create a time acceleration law of 100,000 times.

A day in the outside world equated to 100,000 days inside.

That amounted to as many as 273 years.

273 years!

The Soul Devouring Insect Emperor was still deep in slumber at this moment.

But its aura had already grown by more than 100 times!

“Tsk tsk, indeed worthy of being a natural alien species.

The Soul Devouring Bug is naturally close to the soul laws.

Judging by its current affinity for soul laws, it has reached at least 25%…” Looking at the slumbering Soul Devouring Insect Emperor in front of him, Lv Zhong was clearly delighted.

Previously, the Soul Devouring Bug fought for Lv Zhong, relying almost entirely on the strength of the entire clan.

In terms of individual entities, the Soul Devouring Insect Emperor was barely comparable to a peak Golden Immortal.

But now, Lv Zhong’s opponents were either Emperor Level or Emperor-level powerhouses.

An Insect Emperor of such a level couldn’t be of much help to Lv Zhong anymore.

In fact, humans have an ultimate bottleneck when advancing from peak Golden Immortal to Profound Immortal.

The Insect Clan similarly faces such a tremendously strong bottleneck.

If the Insect Emperor cannot advance successfully, the evolution of the entire clan will naturally be restrained!

Therefore, if the Soul Devouring Insect Emperor successfully advances and evolves, the entire Soul Devourer Clan will also further develop and grow stronger.

Moreover, the bloodline of their offspring will become even more splendid and powerful.

With Lv Zhong’s vast resources to rely on, coupled with the terrifying force of time acceleration, these descendants will surely surpass their predecessors and even multiply the overall strength of the entire clan several times.

…

The Soul Devouring Insect Army is densely packed around the Insect Emperor.

This situation has caused the entire mountain range where the Earth Cauldron’s Great Formation is located to be enveloped by the dense black mass of Soul Devouring Bugs.

Across the mountains and fields, the Soul Devouring Bugs have covered the entire mountain range, spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers, with countless layers.

And the Insect Emperor is encircled right in the center by the army.

“Evolution of the Insect Emperor?

Heh, to cause such a commotion is indeed impressive—” Seeing this grand scene, Lv Zhong is sincerely joyful.

It was only then that he realized just how extensively and mightily the Soul Devouring Bug clan under his command had grown.

“But why does this densely packed Soul-devouring Insect Army seem somewhat listless?

Seems like something has happened?” Lv Zhong frowned, deep in thought, when suddenly, a strange noise emerged.

Right under Lv Zhong’s nose, the previously slumbering Soul Devouring Bugs began to cry out oddly, their voices containing unbearable pain, yet there was a faint trace of excitement as well.

“Oooh oooh oooh…”

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

Suddenly, upon hearing the Insect Emperor’s cries, countless Soul Devouring Bugs began to spontaneously vibrate their wings, sending invisible forces toward the center where the Insect Emperor lay.

Then, the aura of the Insect Emperor surged dramatically, and an intangible might swiftly emerged.

At the same time, however, a large number of Soul Devouring Bugs seemed to have their vitality sharply diminished, their presence weakened.

“This…

what is this…” Lv Zhong was immediately dumbstruck, his face filled with disbelief.

Damage Transfer!

Soul Grafting!

“So that’s how it is!” Lv Zhong nodded in sudden realization, “It turns out that the entire Soul Devourer Clan is sharing the Insect Emperor’s pain.

Damage transfer, quite an amazing secret technique!”

Lv Zhong sighed inwardly!

This damage transfer fragmented the harrowing pain that the Insect Emperor suffered into billions upon billions of parts.

Even if the pain the Insect Emperor endured was excruciating, when spread across each and every Soul Devouring Bug, that pain was no longer pain.

Furthermore, at the same time, the Insect Clan also employed another forbidden technique of the [Soul Devouring Bug]—Soul Grafting.

This was a marvelous method for resisting powerful enemies’ attacks with the combined strength of the entire bug tribe.

Ye Shenxing was an Emperor Level powerhouse; naturally, his soul was incomparably strong.

However, the Soul Devouring Bug King had grafted the soul power of the entire Soul Devouring Bug tribe to fully resist the “reaction force” produced by devouring his soul.

“Interesting, both of these secret techniques are extraordinary, but I wonder if the other bug species could master them?” Lv Zhong’s heart lit up, suddenly coming up with a bold idea.

He planned to have every bug tribe under him master these two types of secret techniques.

Poison-Devouring Worms, Gold Armor Bugs, Three Corpse Brain Worms, Echo Insects, Misfortune Insects…

As long as each type of Alien Insect mastered secret techniques similar to [Damage Transfer] and [Soul Grafting], at the very least, they could increase the attack power and defense capabilities of each Alien Insect army by several notches.

“Haha, this is an excellent idea!

Of course, [Soul Grafting] isn’t suitable for other bug species, but other bug species can graft energy that fits their own attributes—” The thought made Lv Zhong burst into maniacal laughter.

If this were really achieved, even just an army of Immortal Insects could have possibly eliminated Ye Shenxing, Okasi, and Husky’s joint forces last time.

“Huhuhu…”

Suddenly, at the very center, the Soul Devouring Insect King’s body started trembling!

At this moment, it wasn’t exhibiting pain, but excitement!

Genuine excitement!

Lv Zhong could feel that, in that instant, the aura on the Soul Devouring Insect King explosively burst forth.

All of a sudden, billions of Soul Devouring Bugs guarding it were blown away by this mysterious energy!

An extremely bright radiance coalesced above the head of the Soul Devouring Insect King!

Boundless Soul Power formed a terrifying devouring vortex above its head.

The frightful soul power gathered by the supermassive Gathering Spirit Formation within the entire mountain range uncontrollably began tunneling into that devouring vortex.

In just an instant, the Soul Power that the Earth Cauldron had accumulated for nearly a thousand years was directly devoured by the Soul Devouring Insect Emperor.

“Aowuu…”

The Insect King suddenly threw back its head and bellowed skyward; an invisible King Level momentum surged rapidly.

It had broken through!

Indeed, it had made a breakthrough!

At this moment, it was no longer comparable to a peak Golden Immortal, but it had become on par with a lower Profound Immortal!

Furthermore, it had successfully advanced from an Insect King to an Insect Emperor!

“Haha, as expected from my Alien Insects.

Its evolution to Emperor Level is even faster than that of the Immortal Insect, Misfortune Insect, Echo Insect, and the Sacred Body Insect (the strange ‘Lighthouse Jellyfish’ that Lv Zhong obtained from Hongmeng Dragon Tomb.

Capable of surviving in the Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water without corruption, it was called ‘Sacred Body Insect’ by ancient gods).”

However, upon its successful promotion to Insect Emperor, this creature didn’t stop its evolution.

Compression!

Mad compression!

In the brain of the Soul Devouring Insect Emperor, the terrifying Soul Power was ceaselessly compressed with all its might.

When this compression reached a critical point, suddenly, within the Sea of Consciousness of the Soul Devouring Insect Emperor, a [Soul] Great Path Pattern condensed.

“Damn…”

Armed with the Insect Tribe’s Crown, Lv Zhong’s understanding of his subordinate insect species reached an astoundingly profound level.

The condensation of this [Soul] Great Path Pattern by the Soul Devouring Insect Emperor left him utterly dumbfounded, speechless with amazement.

Now, how could Lv Zhong not know the heaven-defying potential possessed by a being who could condense a Great Path Pattern in the Profound Immortal Realm?

Wasn’t he, Lv Zhong, the reason why several Immortal Emperors were shocked and even prepared to stop at nothing to annihilate him because he managed to condense a Great Path Pattern in the Profound Immortal Realm?

“Well done, Soul Devouring Insect Emperor!

I’m certain that with your successful promotion and even the condensation of a Great Path Pattern, the combat strength of the entire Soul Devouring Bug race has increased by at least five times!” Lv Zhong looked on with increasing satisfaction.

Even if the Soul Devouring Bug reached the strength of an Insect Emperor, in terms of attack power, it probably wouldn’t beat the Immortal Insect King.

It might even be brutally killed by the fearlessly tenacious Immortal Insect King Level bug.

However, it was the first under Lv Zhong to condense a Great Path Pattern related to the soul system.

With a Great Path Pattern, its cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.

Plus, it would have an attack imbued with the majesty of the Great Path.

Surely, it wouldn’t take long for it to surpass the Immortal Insect King.

In the Immortal World, there’s a saying: “Below Sages, all are ants.”

This saying is utterly true!

And the reason why Sages are Sages, is precisely because they have successfully condensed the Great Path Patterns, evolving one of them to the highest quality and peak, thus attracting the “Sage Tribulation.” By overcoming the Sage Tribulation, one becomes a Sage!

Of course, there are Sages who lack confidence in themselves and thus take the crooked path, seeking to become Sages through Merit or Great Vow Certification.
