Chapter 395: Chapter 380: Breakthrough

The magical protection on Zhou Leng’s body had completely dissolved, leaving only the Taiqing Sea Robe.

The external attacks were too strong, causing the Taiqing Sea Robe to weaken continuously.

Fortunately, these giant ants and insects were groggy from the spiritual shock, their strength less than half of what it used to be.

A few giant insects sacrificed themselves in the attack, their powerful blows piercing through the Taiqing Sea Robe and into the flesh.

Zhou Leng endured the damage, striking with one palm after another.

The Innate Palm Technique of the Ancient River Sect, like meteors falling from the sky, repeatedly pounded the ant queen’s neck.

Crack…

A crisp sound, the ant queen’s neck broke, spraying a stream of insect juice.

The giant ant head fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Zhou Leng repelled the nearby giant insects, took out a bedsheet, balled it up, and stuffed it into the broken neck of the ant queen to prevent too much juice from leaking out.

He quickly sprinted back into the elven ranks.

By this time, most of the demons and elves were groggy, their strength severely diminished.

“Hmm?”

Zhou Leng, as if discovering a new continent, pulled out two Demonized Elf Curved Blades.

His figure moved like lightning, wielding the two curved blades.

The double moons flashed by.

Shh…

The curved blades swept past, two demon heads flying off and landing on the ground.

If fighting with a master and having a good sword, Zhou Leng would use Swordsmanship, given his training in the Ancient River Sect.

However, when fighting weaker and numerous enemies, blunt weapons and blades were far more efficient than a regular sword, unless it was a broad sword that resembled a blade.

With curved blades in hand, Zhou Leng needed no Blades Technique, employing one simple move, a horizontal slash at the necks.

The powerful speed combined with the giant’s power made the two curved blades cut through the demons like slicing melons, shining like crescent moons among the demons.

The demons slowly regained their senses and attempted to attack.

Zhou Leng stepped using the Eight Trigrams Step, flickering like a ghost shadow among the demon horde.

His speed was too fast; even at their peak, they could not capture Zhou Leng’s form, let alone after a spiritual shock.

Soon, the two curved blades dulled, their surfaces chipped and cracked.

Discarding them, he switched to two new elf curved blades.

In one go, he killed over a hundred demons, and the demons finally escaped the influence of the spiritual shock.

Seeing things were not going well, Zhou Leng dashed out of the demon crowd, returning to the elves.

“Kill him!”

Zhou Leng’s might intimidated some demons, while it ignited the ferocity in others’ bloodlines.

All the demons charged madly.

As the elves cast their spells again, Zhou Leng, using a speed even giant locusts could not match, circled to the side of the second ant queen and leapt up.

As he jumped into the air, this ant queen let out a piercing scream, the Spiritual Shock appearing anew.

White shockwaves rippled twice, their terrifying power turning void to reality, cracking the ground layer by layer, dust rapidly spreading.

The force reached the edge of the altar hall, striking like a hammer on stone, resounding with metallic clangs, stone fragments flying.

Even stronger than before.

As strong as Zhou Leng was, he was momentarily stunned in midair, crashing to the ground.

All nearby elves and demons suffered.

This time, they all fell, darkness overtaking their vision.

Some giant ant eggs beside this ant queen stopped moving, with some giant ants inside perishing, turning into fluid.

Zhou Leng lay on the side of the ant queen, the ant queen struggling to twist its body but unable to reach Zhou Leng.

When it had come in, it was very thin, later consuming large amounts of medicinal fruit and corpses, its body grew several times larger, making movement difficult.

After a while, Zhou Leng woke up, lying on the ground, clutching his head.

A constant buzzing sounded in his ears, a faint stinging pain in his head.

He cursed inwardly that the Celestial Calamity Envoy truly was despicable, a normal lower-rank Innate Ant Queen could not possibly be this strong; it must have used some secret technique to enhance the ant queen’s power.

This spiritual shock was definitely at the Bone Forger Innate level.

Zhou Leng wanted very much to get up immediately, but it was as if he had low blood sugar from prolonged hunger, his whole body soft and weak, even breaking into a cold sweat.

The ant queen hissed chaotically.

Then, a chirping sound came from not far away.

Zhou Leng slowly turned his head to look, Xiaoyong had already moved to the front of the group from the back, but dared not approach.

“I’m okay,” Zhou Leng said.

Only then did Xiaoyong slowly retreat back to the rear of the group.

Zhou Leng said, “Let’s play a game; you hop around on the demon bodies and see how high you can jump, okay?”

Looking at Zhou Leng, Xiaoyong silently retreated further.

This little rascal was quite clever.

Zhou Leng lifted his head to look at the ant queen, the ant queen’s head was just three or four meters away, its huge protruding compound eyes, ominously black and bright.

He couldn’t just lie there; supporting the ground with his arm, he exerted a little force, only to feel his stomach churning, almost nauseous, and hurriedly stopped.

From the Magic Spirit Bag, he took out a Concentration Pill, Radiant Juice, and a cut piece of Ancient Tree Fossil.

The ant queen hissed angrily, showing malice.

Just as Zhou Leng was about to take the medicine, the ant queen suddenly went berserk, using the Spiritual Shock a second time.

A terrifying screech echoed throughout the altar hall.

“I…” Zhou Leng’s curse was left unspoken, the medicine slipping from his hand, his body falling back, unconscious.

Before losing consciousness, he had just one thought.

A normal ant queen would never be so decisive.

It could only be some death command previously issued by the Celestial Calamity Envoy, driving the ant queen to a point of no return.

Those elves and demons already on the ground twitched once, collectively passing out cold.

Besides Zhou Leng, those closest to the ant queen were all demons and giant insects; they met with misfortune, with some having their brains damaged due to weaker spiritual power, directly becoming dull.

Some ant eggs behind the ant queen cracked open, thick juice flowing from the fissures.

Crack…crack…

A large number of giant ant eggs shattered, newly born giant ants spilling out one by one, dying.

The ant queen panted heavily, having reached its limit after using the Spiritual Shock twice consecutively.

Its expression slowly relaxed.

Everything is over.

Just a quarter of an hour of rest, and it can release the liquid inside it, lighten the weight, and then decisively launch an attack to bite this person dead.

At this moment, a brown giant cocoon slowly wriggled over.

The Ant Queen turned to Xiaoyong, using giant insect language to scold loudly.

Xiaoyong stopped and slowly retreated.

The Ant Queen became amiable and constantly praised Xiaoyong.

Xiaoyong glanced at Zhou Leng and then wriggled forward.

The Ant Queen cursed again, spewing out raindrop-like spit.

Xiaoyong stopped and started, but eventually wriggled in front of Zhou Leng.

An invisible force held the Concentration Pill and Ancient Tree Fossil in mid-air, pried open Zhou Leng’s mouth, and delivered the pill inside.

The magic bottle containing the Radiant Juice hung in the air, tilted, and a drop of Radiant Juice dripped in.

Zhou Leng’s mouth closed, Xiaoyong’s invisible force compressed the pill into the stomach.

The Ant Queen cursed more nastily.

Xiaoyong constantly bowed and apologized to the Ant Queen, then quickly wriggled to a distance, watching from afar.

The pill exploded in the stomach.

Powerful forces rampaged within Zhou Leng’s body.

Star Gazing Technique, worthy of the Star Sky Technique, was immediately induced by the force, operating at an extremely slow speed.

Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique was also exerting force.

After a while, Zhou Leng’s eyelids lightly moved, and he opened his eyes.

The Ant Queen saw this scene and suddenly screamed in despair, letting out an unprecedented screech.

A third white shock wave spewed from its mouth.

It rolled its eyes and passed out.

Zhou Leng opened his eyes, and the third Spiritual Shock came at him.

His eyes rolled, and he fainted again.

Before fainting, hallucinations seemed to appear.

He heard the Ant Queen scolding, and it was particularly filthy.

The hall was silent.

Xiaoyong looked left and right, stunned.

The closest Demons and giant insects to the Ant Queen had split heads, a large group died.

Insect juices from the giant insect corpses covered the ground.

All the giant ant eggs shattered, and high-quality insect juices flowed out.

Xiaoyong got anxious, quickly rushed to Zhou Leng’s side, took out the demonized bottle from the Magic Spirit Bag, and collected the giant ant egg juices.

These giant ant egg juices contained a wealth of Life Force.

After gathering a large amount of giant ant egg juice, Xiaoyong suddenly tilted his head as if he remembered something, turned abruptly, and looked at Zhou Leng.

He forgot there was still someone unconscious.

He walked over to Zhou Leng, feeling ashamed, thought for a moment, took out various random things from his storage space, and used invisible force to separate Zhou Leng’s mouth.

Royal jelly from the giant bees, honey from the giant bees, aphid honey, Radiant Juice, fragmented powder of Tree of Life leaves, Water of Life… and precious Grandmaster-level giant cockroach insect juice.

Invisible force continuously pushed these medicines into Zhou Leng’s stomach.

Even as strong as Zhou Leng, he was merely in the True Liquid Period, unable to withstand so many high-level medicinal fruits.

Powerful chaotic forces entered the body, forcing the Cultivation Technique to autonomously operate and compress.

Unknowingly, Dantian True Qi compressed to the extreme.

But without consciousness, compression continued.

times Qi density, 11 times, 12 times…

Until compressing to the super-extreme of 13 times Qi density, it finally stopped.

In a haze, Zhou Leng had a dream.

Dreamed of escaping the underground cave, being caught by the Ant Queen, and experiencing a magical yet tragic life.

Years later, sitting on the throne, looking at the endless ant people subjects ahead, he fell into contemplation.

Zhou Leng’s body jerked heavily, his eyes opened abruptly, realizing it was just a dream, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He hurriedly got up, his body swayed, nearly falling to the ground.

Struggling to sit up, his whole body was weak, devoid of strength to stand.

It felt like being startled awake from an overly long nap, body numb all over.

Zhou Leng’s mind was foggy, forgetting many recent details, vaguely recalling enduring three… no, four Spiritual Shocks plus an Evil God’s gaze, comparable to torture.

Celestial Calamity Envoy was indeed malicious, thought through everything.

If not attacking the altar hall, it would create a giant ant army.

If someone attacked, they would first endure several Spiritual Shocks.

Fortunately, the first Ant Queen hoped for luck; otherwise, with three consecutive Spiritual Shocks combined with the second Ant Queen’s, his brain might explode.

Endured four Spiritual Shocks, still bearable.

Sensing the Martial Arts Will in his mind, the originally majestic Martial Arts mountain lost its grandeur, looking like a crumbled small dirt hill.

Only a bit away from triggering the power of the Black Gold Silkworm Fruit previously given by Zhang Xinglie.

Able to resist a demigod’s Mental Attack, Cyan Flame even willing to offer ten billion as a purchase.

Luckily not triggered, otherwise a significant loss.

After resting for a while, Zhou Leng finally got up.

“Chirp chirp…” Xiaoyong pointed his head towards the ground.

The demonized bottle of Radiant Juice still there, the pills gone, and several more demonized bottles appeared containing a large amount of giant ant egg juice.

Picked it up, surveyed the surroundings.

“Giant ant egg juice?”

Xiaoyong nodded.

“No…”

Only then did Zhou Leng sense that his body and various aspects had inexplicably elevated a level.

True Qi inexplicably compressed to 13 times.

The True Qi within his body had completely liquefied.
