Chapter 925 - 663: Nine-Colored Legend (Part 3)
"The Shanglu Divine Tree gave a simple lesson, warning not to create chaos on the Zhibai Continent. That Nine-Colored Mantis King was frightened out of his wits, took the Seven-Colored Divine Tree, and fled with his entire clan, leaving the Origin Force Star Realm."
"The Flower Mantis Kingdom fell into decline and extinction. In the endless years that followed, the ordinary Seven-Colored Orchid Mantises with seven-system talent potential interbred with ordinary Orchid Mantises, and devolved into today’s Orchid Mantis tribe, naturally possessing the earth, wood, water, and wind system talents."
"And now appearing, that Mantis King Ink Orchid is feared to have awakened the bloodline powers bestowed by the Seven-Colored Divine Tree. It’s said that the body size is exceptionally large, twice the size of a typical Insect Clan Warrior, an obvious sign of awakening strength system talent, and very likely possesses some of the power of the ’Nine-Colored Mantis King’ of yesteryear."
Finally, Huo hesitantly said: "Could it be, it also possesses the power to freely traverse the Divine Force Barrier? Did it come from the Northern Hemisphere?"
Astonishment, fear, and despair spread in Zhe’s heart.
"How could... how is it possible... how does the Origin Force Star Realm allow such power to exist..."
Zhe muttered to himself, his steadfast, restrained demeanor gradually collapsing.
Huo once again advised: "Zhe, I’ll try to disperse the Ant Queen of the ordinary Blue Ants and the eggs of the ordinary Sea God Horn Beetles across habitable lands on the Zhibai and Wanglan Continents. This way, even if Blue Island is destroyed, your tribe won’t be extinct. Time will dilute hatred, and perhaps, after hundreds or thousands of years, or in the next Origin Force Reincarnation, you could rise again."
"Zhe, the Outworld is infinitely vast, infinitely opportunistic, let’s go together. Even if you can’t let go of your hatred, as long as you’re alive, at least you’ll have the chance for revenge. If you stay and die in battle, you’ll be left with nothing."
"... Revenge!"
Zhe: "Huo, you’re right. I will evolve to the 9th Age Period and leave, hoping to meet again in the Outworld."
Huo’s tense spiritual power relaxed, and he said: "Alright. You wait here. I’ll try to get the Origin Force Food needed for evolution, within a year..."
"No need for such trouble!"
Zhe’s spiritual power returned to calm, cold.
"I’ll go for revenge now! Origin Force Food needed for evolution will just come with it."
With a rumble, black rocks scattered, and the Stone Hunt army surged forth like a tide, rushing towards the sea...
...
...
The weather was fine and sunny.
Ya River estuary,
The wide river surface, with emerald green water flowing calmly, sparkling with light waves.
"Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King!"
Suddenly, a Butterfly Antennae Mayfly Warrior on scouting duty took to the sky, frantically shaking its spiritual power to warn.
"Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King!"
"Kirin Beast! It’s here!"
"Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King has arrived!"
"Fight!"
"Prepare for battle!"
"Get ready to fight!"
"Stay calm!"
"Don’t panic! Battle formation!"
"Quick! Notify Assistant King Yellow Thorn! The Kirin Beast is charging in from the estuary!"
...
After a brief moment of noise and chaos in the temporary garrison camp, dragonflies, locusts, butterflies, and other insect clan warriors quickly took to the sky, forming ranks in circling patterns.
Ground combat insect clan warriors moved in groups of three or five, acting separately.
Dozens of Beetle Warriors promptly formed ranks to head to the riverbank, their eyes fixed on the distant sea surface, their spiritual power locking down the river bottom.
Swish~ Swish~ Swish~
Upstream, the Dung Beetle Warriors launched their abilities, large masses of black mud flew towards the sky, plopping down onto the river surface.
The river water quickly turned black, reeking with a stench, with black smoke even lingering over the river.
Those launching the black mud continued to move upstream, relentlessly, large patches of black mud clumps were thrown into the river from the upstream rain forest.
Splash~ Clatter~ Clatter!
At the junction of the Ya River and the coastline, a blue, gigantic, menacing head resembling a sea serpent emerged from the water.
The colossal body, stretching for a kilometer, slowly surfaced.
The Ice Kirin Beast, its body shrouded in a layer of blue mist, ignored the incoming black river water, seemingly oblivious to the gathering Insect Kings on both banks, accelerated, and moved against the current.
Ten Saint Butterfly Warriors took the lead in assaulting, dashing through the air, circling around, pouring down pitch-black droplets onto the Ice Beast, creating crackling metallic collision sounds.
Ice shards splattered.
Black mist rose.
The black mist attempted to penetrate inward, but as soon as it touched the blue mist surrounding the Ice Beast’s body, it dissipated and vanished.
—Attack!
—Stop it!
Battle orders were issued, and in an instant, above and below, on both sides of the river, abilities of wind, water, thunder, earth, wood, metal, and stone launched densely and orderly at the giant beast in the river.
The Ice Kirin Beast suddenly turned towards the East Coast, swung its body, and lunged onto the riverbank, colliding with the attacking insect clan warriors on the shore.
Boom! Bang! Bang!
A series of explosions, walls of earth rose just emerging from the ground, only to be shattered by the impact of the Kirin Beast, the vegetation whipped up and grown desperately attempted to intercept, but all were instantly crushed and flung apart.
The insect clan warriors fought and retreated simultaneously.
Splash~ Clatter~
On the verge of a collision with the Kirin Beast, the earth and stone ground collapsed, mire transformed into countless tendrils, surrounding plant roots grew and entangled, dozens of Insect Kings joined forces, attempting to trap the Kirin Beast.
However, with a splash, the Ice Beast transformed into a fluid shape, transformed into a mighty river rushing and roaring, easily bypassed the trap, accelerating towards the lined warriors.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The ten circling Saint Butterfly Warriors turned into black cloud masses, fell and rammed into the Kirin Beast’s abdomen, willingly sacrificing themselves.
The charging Kirin Beast abruptly halted, its transparent body stained with black spots of the dying Saint Butterfly Warriors, with the black spots rapidly spreading.
This was another talent ability of the Saint Butterfly Warriors, "Rust Trace", which upon death, their bodies transformed into a deadly toxin capable of spreading.
The Kirin Beast rapidly shifted to freezing mode, blue mist rising on its body, activating its devouring ability, suppressing and dispersing the spreading black spots, extruding thousands of Stone Hunt Blue Soldier Ant corpses.
