Chapter 751 606: Vortex Beast Devouring_3
"Even if you successfully imitate 'Vortex Beast Devouring', the range you can control in battle is only within your spiritual power radius, it can't exceed 1200 meters, right? But under the effect of Sea Soul Ability, the Sea Beast Devouring Ability's control range can be expanded tenfold."
"Moreover, the combination of Sea Soul and Tsunami Abilities grants a mastery over sea beasts that you can't compare to."
"The three core abilities granted by the Ocean God's Scepter—Sea Soul, Tsunami, and Sea Beast Devouring—are a progressive set. Without Sea Soul and Tsunami, you can only mimic the appearance of a sea beast, but it's hard to grasp its true essence."
Dragon Cypress: "In the long run, if I wipe out Blue Island, obtain the control of the Ocean God's Scepter, I'll be able to steadily comprehend Sea Soul and Tsunami, and my 'Vortex Beast Devouring' will be complete."
Linnan Divine Tree: "...Wise ant."
The Linnan Divine Tree briefly reminded: "You also possess a fearsome Exotic System Ability, Heart of Bee King!"
That's called Heart of the Ant King~
Dragon Cypress's thoughts raced, and he realized what Linnan Divine Tree was hinting at.
Linnan Divine Tree continued: "Ant, you can be bolder. The Ancestral Divine Power has given you a robust physique that crushes other Insect Clan Warriors, and Adaptive Evolution has endowed you with near-total physical resistance. You can absolutely consider charging into close combat."
Linnan Divine Tree: "If you plan to condense a Divine Mark with 'Vortex Beast Devouring', you can consider making it bigger. Heart of Bee King will enhance your command power, turning it into a kilometer-sized giant beast. You also have Ancestral Divine Power and Soul Talent as support for Primordial Energy and spiritual power, so it's definitely feasible."
Linnan Divine Tree: "Don't you also have a Water System Ability, 'Water Escape'? You can hide within the vortex beast, and you can bring two to three hundred thousand Blue Soldiers with you, roaming the seas freely."
"Combine Heart of Bee King and Water Escape for auxiliary functions in the 'vortex beast', with Blue Soldiers as the main assault force."
Dragon Cypress's eyes lit up and he praised, "Linnan Divine Tree, your wisdom is unparalleled! Thank you for your guidance!"
The Linnan Divine Tree truly lives up to being the God of War among Divine Trees, instantly providing a superior plan.
Dragon Cypress rallied: "That'll be the second plan, Vortex Beast Devouring!"
Linnan Divine Tree: "Your first plan is also pretty good and easier to execute. Keep it as a backup, try more. Be flexible, there's no rule that says you can only condense three Divine Marks at each Insect King Age Period. As long as you have the time, energy, life span, and ability, it's all fine."
Dragon Cypress: "Yes—"
Linnan Divine Tree: "You can plan your own timeline, say, spend 100 years focusing on the Water System. And you don't have to be limited to Age 1 Insect King. Evolve to Age 2 at the proper time, work on Thunder System and Water System simultaneously."
Dragon Cypress lowered his head in thought, lightly tapping his tentacle, "Understood! Thank you for your guidance, Linnan Divine Tree!"
Dragon Cypress: "Linnan Divine Tree, there's another question. At the moment, Refinement Ability is purely a production-assist type. Is there a good way to convert it into a combat ability?"
Linnan Divine Tree: "Generally speaking, an insect that farms can put down its hoe and become a warrior. Production abilities, when imbued with a will to kill, can also be turned into combat abilities."
Linnan Divine Tree: "To be more specific, Refinement is probably the core ability of that so-called 'Creator Civilization'. It's already outstanding enough and can directly be used to condense a Divine Mark. You can try first to condense a Refinement Divine Inscription."
Linnan Divine Tree: "As for a more specific training method, that's even easier. Go to the forest, use your ability to refine a hundred thousand arbors and a hundred thousand live animals. Go to the ocean, refine a million live fish."
Linnan Divine Tree: "Make sure to select big, lively creatures that will struggle and resist, to temper your killing intent."
At first, Dragon Cypress didn't think much of it—after all, how much fresh food does Ant Kingdom consume every year?
But hearing this, a chill involuntarily ran through his heart.
To kill for survival, and to kill for power—these are two completely different things.
Linnan Divine Tree continued: "In the endless repetitions, focus on comprehending the intricacies of the ability's operation. First, for condensing the Divine Mark. Second, to sense the destructive aspect within the ability and try to amplify, distort it, preparing for 'Sea Beast Devouring.'"
Dragon Cypress: "I get it!"
Linnan Divine Tree: "Also, I think the Refinement Ability was invented mainly to refine Origin Force Food, so you can also practice with some Origin Force Food."
Dragon Cypress: "Alright! From now on, every Origin Force Food I hand to the Cloud Trace Insects, I'll refine into Primordial Energy Crystal Beads for free."
Linnan Divine Tree: "Your Water System Talent comes from Creator Civilization. The Water Control, Hydrology Shield, Boiling, Freezing, Water Making you mastered before becoming Insect King—all these laid the foundation for Refinement Ability. You are highly compatible with Refinement. By my estimate, in as little as ten, at most twenty years, you'll be able to condense the Refinement Divine Inscription."
Linnan Divine Tree: "You've already completed most of the Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm. Once you get the Divine-Grade Rosy Fruit and comprehend the 'Twilight' ability, it'll probably just take twenty or thirty years."
"The first plan you came up with is harder, requiring at least thirty years."
"As for 'Vortex Beast Devouring', the time required starts at sixty years, with no upper limit."
Dragon Cypress: "No upper limit?"
Linnan Divine Tree: "It's theoretically feasible, but it may require a hundred years or even longer. Be shrewd, ant, and weigh it yourself."
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress: "Thank you for your guidance, Linnan Divine Tree!"
Under Linnan Divine Tree's guidance, after evolving into Insect King, Dragon Cypress's preliminary Water System evolution path became clear: Refinement, Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm, Vortex Beast Devouring.
Once these three Divine Marks are gathered, evolution to Age 2 Insect King can begin.
If the path of 'Vortex Beast Devouring' doesn't work, switch to the first plan: use Refinement, Twilight, and Mottled Remnant Realm to form an ability similar to 'Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm.'
This ability can be named 'Nosh Remnants.'
Advancing even further in Water System Abilities, one could combine 'Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm' and 'Nosh Remnants' into a single ability.
Dragon Cypress has mastered many Water System Abilities, so there are many routes to take, with room for selective choice.
He finished consulting about the Insect King condensing Divine Marks.
Just as Dragon Cypress was about to take his leave, the Huagi Divine Tree, who'd been silent until now, suddenly said: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, come to me for a moment."
"Yellow Stem, Spruce, Ivy, you all stay away, go mind your own business."
This was clearly going to be a private talk...
Yellow Stem, Spruce, Ivy, Pueraria, Wuye, and the others exchanged glances and knowingly withdrew.
Dragon Cypress approached the Huagi Divine Tree alone.
The Huagi Divine Tree withdrew its spiritual power and asked: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, about the 'Adaptive Evolution' ability—have you ever tried adapting to an Origin Force vacuum environment?"
Dragon Cypress: "No..."
Dragon Cypress's eyes lit up and he energetically praised, "Huagi Divine Tree, that's an excellent suggestion! I'll try it out and report back to you..."
