Outside the ant nest.
All the Fire Spirit Ants looked at the colossal beast lying in a pool of blood, their little heads struggling to comprehend.
However, Lu Yuan remained calm.
Though the pangolin has been the natural enemy of the Ant Race, preying on ants since ancient times, the Celestial Ant Divine Skill is a cultivation technique tailor-made for the Ant Race, possessing the power to transform decay into the miraculous.
Even though ants are small, they can move mountains and overturn seas!
Of course.
The gap between a pangolin and a Fire Spirit Ant is simply too vast.
Under normal circumstances, even a group of Shackles Realm Fire Spirit Ants may not inflict much damage upon it.
This was largely due to Lu Yuan’s rich battle experience.
He launched a surprise attack, using Mountain-Breaking Power to smash the pangolin’s internal organs into pulp between its scales.
Otherwise, in a frontal battle, strong as Lu Yuan was, he would be unable to break through the pangolin’s defenses.
Lu Yuan shook his head.
The Ant Race is born humble, with poor innate conditions, and is at the lowest end of the food chain.
He was one realm higher than the pangolin, yet still won with great difficulty.
If the pangolin were replaced by a more powerful demon beast or human cultivator, Lu Yuan would probably stand no chance.
Become stronger!
He must grow stronger to have the power to protect himself!
Lu Yuan clenched his fists, his desire for power growing even more intense.
Then he ordered the other Fire Spirit Ants to start cleaning up the battlefield.
The pangolin may have died, but its skin and scales remained incredibly tough.
With the Fire Spirit Ants’ strength, they couldn’t tear through its defenses, so they had to crawl inside the pangolin’s body through its ears and mouth.
Then they used their mandibles to tear and divide the flesh into countless fragments, slowly transporting them into the ant nest.
Before long, the once massive corpse of the pangolin was reduced to a skeleton.
As soon as Lu Yuan returned to the depths of the ant nest, the voice of the Will of the Heavens came through. "You have defied heaven and fate, overcame the bloodline suppression, and single-handedly killed the natural enemy of the Ant Race, becoming a legend of the Fire Spirit Ant Race!" "You have gained 10 million Simulation Points!" "You have obtained a Sawtooth Ant Queen!" "You have obtained a Mountain-shaking Demon Ant Queen!" "This Simulation Evaluation has been upgraded to E-level!" "The main storyline progress increased to 3%!"
As soon as the voice faded.
Two beams of light appeared next to Lu Yuan.
In the first light beam, there was a Sawtooth Ant Queen, glossy black and half the size of a palm.
Its mandibles were sharp and sturdy, lined with fine sawteeth like a pair of iron-melting sickles capable of easily ripping through most biological beings’ fur and scales.
Beside it, the Mountain-shaking Demon Ant Queen had an intimidating size, over a foot long and as thick as an adult’s arm.
Especially its large and heavy body, containing a sense of explosive power.
It seemed it could effortlessly lift hundreds of pounds with just a flip of its hand!
What delighted Lu Yuan the most was that both of these ant queens were Shackles Realm demon beasts.
This meant, their offspring would also be far superior to ordinary ants!
Although this ant nest had undergone multiple expansions and renovations, it still seemed very cramped for the colossal Mountain-shaking Demon Ant Queen.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately ordered hundreds of thousands of worker ants to work through the night to create a new spacious palace.
On the other side, as the news of Lu Yuan killing the pangolin spread, all the ant colonies in the Black Wind Forest were immensely shocked.
Dozens of ant colonies, large and small, expressed submission to the Fire Spirit Ant Race.
In no time, the number of ant queens had grown to dozens.
Lu Yuan worked tirelessly, continuing his diligent efforts. "The Mountain-shaking Demon Ant Queen produced a hundred offspring, and you’ve gained the Mountain-shaking Demon Ant bloodline, your physique exponentially increased, with significant enhancements in vitality and power!" "The Sawtooth Ant Queen produced five hundred offspring, and you’ve gained the Sawtooth Ant bloodline, with a boost in power!" "Your offspring have exceeded a billion, you’ve broken through one hundred and eight shackles, achieving Perfection in the Second Realm!" ...
With each prompt, Lu Yuan’s form underwent an earth-shattering change.
Originally only as big as a thumb, but after merging with the Mountain-shaking Demon Ant bloodline, his body expanded several times, thicker than an adult’s arm, transforming into a giant Ant Emperor!
His entire body gleamed black like divine iron, exuding an overwhelming sense of power.
With a mere lift of a hand, he could easily raise a yak!
His mandibles resembled a pair of sharp sickles, effortlessly tearing through enemies’ defenses.
Additionally, once Lu Yuan broke free of all shackles, he felt a lightness as if an invisible mountain had been lifted from him.
Every movement could unleash unimaginably terrifying power.
Know that with each shackle broken, one releases bodily potential, breaking through the limits of ordinary life to gain power and ability far surpassing mortals.
This was a leap in life levels, an extraordinary transformation of bloodline and flesh!
For ordinary cultivators, breaking ten shackles is quite commendable.
If someone can break twenty shackles, they are already exceptionally talented.
Yet, Lu Yuan, as just an ant, broke through one hundred and eight shackles.
If this news got out, the entire Profound Realm Continent would surely be shocked!
It can be said,
Lu Yuan’s current power was already unimaginably strong.
He had surpassed the ordinary Ant Race, continually evolving towards a higher life level!
According to his estimates, if the pangolin were still alive, he could crush it with sheer brute force, even without using the Celestial Ant Divine Skill.
