Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 774 614: Stone Persimmon_3

Dragon Cypress: "Let's trade first. You give me 8 million Spider King Scrolls. Ink Orchid needs to evolve continuously, temporarily, and resources are a bit tight on our end..."

…

…

Silver Cypress evolves to 9 Age Period Lord.

The Assistant King makes some adjustments to the arrangements.

Giant Cypress replaces Spiked Cypress, stays in the Purple Tung Insect Nation, guarding the White Poplar Divine Seed.

Spiked Cypress returns to Xianglan Mountain, overseeing the Shanxi Reservoir.

Silver Cypress and Tie Bush head to Rainbow Island to help.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid also settle down on Rainbow Island.

Inside the Ant Nest, more and more large, medium, and small Mountain Ants and Worker Ants undergo Feather Transformation, Black Birch begins to organize the team, excavating underground escape tunnels, and building the Underground Water Vein Network.

Lookout post at the top of Silver Cypress Mountain.

Cypress is fishing in the ocean, practicing Refinement Ability.

Dragon Cypress focuses on practicing the Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm and Explosive Jet abilities.

The counter-strategy is set: If a powerful enemy invades, Dragon Cypress and Cypress will lead the Ant Army to engage, fighting while retreating, using the water vein network for guerrilla tactics. Ink Orchid will lead Silver Cypress, Black Birch, Tie Bush, and carry the Life Seed, and withdraw through the underground water veins, retreating to Cloud Trace Continent.

If the invading enemy isn't strong, take the initiative to intercept them at sea, not allowing anyone to approach Rainbow Island.

...

Time flies, another three months pass.

Northern Hemisphere, early spring of a new year.

Year 90 for Silver Cypress.

The King Cypress's height has recovered to 250 meters, flowering and bearing fruit early, consuming a million Source Stones. To avoid delaying the recovery and growth, they've planned to invest 60,000 Source Stones per month.

After the King Cypress, Ink Orchid also completes the incubation of the Yellow Cicada Orchid Divine-Given Seed. After a simple preparation, goes into slumber and evolution at Xianglan Peak's King Nest.

Five days later, awakens from slumber.

Successfully completes Molting Evolution.

7 Age Period Lord.

Dragon Cypress, guarding outside the King Nest, senses it immediately. With a thought, decomposes the soil and stones blocking the entrance.

"Congratulations, Second King!"

"Second King, Strength Talent..."

"Awakened successfully! All ten elements mastered!"

"Congrats, Second King!"

"Such a weird ant~"

Ink Orchid raises its claw, Origin Force of the Strength System gathers at the claw tip, lets out a whoop, and an invisible scythe-like leg slashes at Dragon Cypress.

Above Dragon Cypress's head, a sheet of thin square ice instantly forms, then shatters with a crash into ice shards, blocking the attack.

"A newly awakened Strength System ability?"

"Of course!"

"How many new abilities?"

"Doesn't seem like many—"

Ink Orchid turns around, bows its head, with two crunches, swallows the two White Refining Beads placed on the Throne, and tilts its head in thought.

After a while,

Ink Orchid says: "This time, I mastered five abilities, one purely from the Strength System, one is a dual Strength and Life System ability, and one is a dual Fire and Soul System ability... Wow! Great King, this ability is amazing!"

Ink Orchid's eyes shine, then dim again, "This ability can't be used lightly! It's a spiritual power attack, with fiery properties, burning and attacking the soul."

When the body is injured, as long as you don't die, it's relatively easy to recover.

But if the soul gets hurt, currently there's no Soul System healing ability known, let alone Origin Force Food to heal soul injuries—recovery can only happen naturally, and would take a long time.

Every single ability Ink Orchid comprehends is ridiculously strong~!

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Dragon Cypress: "What else?"

Ink Orchid cheers: "Little Ink Orchid has leveled up! On top of the four systems—Earth, Wood, Water, Wind—I've now fused in Thunder, Fire, and Metal. Now it's the complete Elemental Seven Systems!"

Saying so, raises its claw, formidable Primordial Energy gathers at the tip of its digits, and a dazzling, seven-colored mantis just over 10 cm long forms, lifts its head, waves its Catching Feet at Dragon Cypress: Greetings, Great King!

Ink Orchid, excited, says: "Dragon Cypress, I sense that this ability can be upgraded further, and may be fused with Strength and Life System Talents. In the end, it could become a complete Ten Elements Ability. This is the strongest ability I've ever mastered!"

Dragon Cypress: "Awesome~"

Dragon Cypress: "Second King, anything else?"

Ink Orchid: "Two more, but not very powerful. One is a pure Fire System ability... The cave space is too small, not convenient to use."

Ink Orchid thinks, withdraws Little Ink Orchid into its body, instantly recovering Primordial Energy, and calls out: "Come on, let's go test it at sea!"
