Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 826 - 631: Mantis King Ink Orchid (Part 3)

Today is another cloudy day.

Dragon Cypress said nothing, flapped its wings, and shot straight into the sky towards the dark clouds.

Water System Primordial Energy erupted, shrinking the thick clouds and transforming them into a Super Giant Ant with wings spanning a thousand meters.

Its wings flapped as it flew, spreading a chill.

Where it passed, the thick clouds congealed into ice crystals, falling toward the ground.

Middle rain started falling below Molan Mountain.

After the rain, the skies cleared.

Dragon Cypress briefly instructed Black Persimmon and Senior Orchid Mantis, then hurried back to guard Xianglan Mountain.

...

On the twentieth day, the Divine-Given Seed of Northern Gorgon was the first to break through.

"Fat Ant? Fat Ant? Fat..."

Northern Gorgon eagerly called out.

"???"

Dragon Cypress flapped its wings, spiraling down to the dam crest at Northern Gorgon Water Reservoir.

"Wow! I can finally communicate with Fat Ant!"

Northern Gorgon cheered.

"..."

Dragon Cypress corrected, "My name is Dragon Cypress, Giant-Headed Ant."

Northern Gorgon: "???"

Dragon Cypress: "My name is not Fat Ant."

Northern Gorgon: "Your name is not Fat Ant? The beautiful, kind, intelligent, and mighty Ink Orchid said your name is Fat Ant."

What a mess...

Dragon Cypress: "Beautiful, kind, intelligent, and mighty Ink Orchid?"

Northern Gorgon: "That mantis that often accompanies you, is that its name? Is this not its name?"

Who gives names so long?

The mantis must be really bored...

"..."

Dragon Cypress was speechless and silent for a long time, emphasizing, "My name is Dragon Cypress. Not Fat Ant."

Northern Gorgon: "Dragon Cypress!"

Northern Gorgon: "You were pretty fat when you were young."

Northern Gorgon: "Quickly direct the other ants to bring me more Source Stones..."

...

Fruit-Scented Orchid, Emerald Flower Cold Orchid, and Snow Orchid successfully ascended to King-Level.

Things were settled here at Xianglan Mountain.

Dragon Cypress then swiftly crossed the Origin Force Vacuum Land and hurried to Huagi Mountain, White Lotus Lake, Southern Sour Jujube Mountain, Areca Rainforest to check the situation.

The Life Seed Plants planted in these places all smoothly broke through.

Finally, Dragon Cypress went to Cold Orchid Mountain to check the situation, and as expected, Yellow Cicada Orchid, Purple Tendril Round Leaf Grape, and Fire Crystal Persimmon, planted later, were slow in their breakthrough evolution progress.

Dragon Cypress stayed, observing for two days to confirm their stable condition, ensuring no major issues before leaving in relief.

...

The thirtieth day.

The Ant Nest's depths exploded with intense Origin Force Fluctuations for the seventh time, simmering down after half a day.

By mid-afternoon, calm was thoroughly restored.

Dragon Cypress sensed with the Soul-Setting Ability, and Ink Orchid's Soul Consciousness had awakened from slumber.

"Fat Ant, the mantis has awoken."

Fruit-Scented Orchid casually reminded.

"Second King is awake!"

Fragrant Cypress rejoiced.

Leading the way, Dragon Cypress dashed into the main passage of the Ant Nest, racing to the depths of the King Nest.

Sweeping its spiritual power for perception.

Ink Orchid had just shed its old shell, and the new shell was rapidly hardening.

After a short wait,

Removed the door panel blocking the entrance.

Rainbow Parasol Tree eagerly peeked in, asking, "Second King?"

"I'm the Insect King now!"

"However, Cold Orchid Mountain..."

Ink Orchid turned and quickly swallowed the two White Refining Beads placed on the Throne, swiftly recovering drained physical strength.

Dragon Cypress stepped forward, reassuring, "I just returned from checking Cold Orchid Mountain two days ago. Mantis King Ink Orchid don't worry, the three Divine-Given Seeds there are stable, just taking a bit longer for their breakthrough evolution."

"Oh..."

"I trust the Great King's judgment..."

Ink Orchid: "Let's go! Let's take a look!"

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Rainbow Parasol Tree raised its claw, carefully asking, "Mantis King Ink Orchid, your ability, after breaking through to Insect King, did you successfully comprehend the Fire Element Form?"

"Second King!" Ink Orchid angrily corrected.

"Yes. Second King." Rainbow Parasol Tree quickly retreated behind Dragon Cypress.

Dragon Cypress concurred, "That's important! Ink Orchid, this has been planned for a century at Lord-Level, just for this."

Ink Orchid tilted its head in thought, then buried its head in contemplation, joyfully saying, "I have it!"

Ink Orchid pondered for a while longer, then suddenly lifted its head, exclaiming in surprise, "I've comprehended many abilities all at once!"

Dragon Cypress and the ants were elated upon hearing this.

Knew it, Second King breaking through to Insect King, not only had powerful abilities but many.

Ink Orchid focused, extending its left anterior foot, gathering Primordial Energy all over, forming a mantis about twenty to thirty centimeters long, snow-white and pink, vivid like a flower.

—Little Ink Orchid!

Ink Orchid: "As predicted, breaking through to Insect King, my Little Ink Orchid ability is more perfect now, it has integrated powers from Life and Strength Systems, now there's completion across all ten systems."

"Second King is mighty."

"Second King is impressive."

Giant Cypress raised its claw to ask, "Second King, what about Little Ink Orchid's Primordial Energy reserve? Is there an improvement?"

Ink Orchid shook its tentacle, saying, "It's the limit. I can exhaust all the Primordial Energy in my body to condense Little Ink Orchid, but at most it can only store 100% of my Primordial Energy, no more."

Rainbow Parasol Tree raised a claw to ask, "Second King, can it release abilities for battle?"

Little Ink Orchid's tentacle swung continuously, sending a series of fireballs towards Dragon Cypress.

Dragon Cypress swung its tentacle to extinguish them.

"Forget about abilities for now..."

Ink Orchid suddenly became anxious again, urging, "To Cold Orchid Mountain!"

Rainbow Parasol Tree jumped onto the Throne, "Second King, I'll go with you!"

"Forget it. Let's first go to Cold Orchid Mountain to take a look." Upon the thought, Dragon Cypress rapidly shrunk the Dominating Throne.

Ink Orchid and Rainbow Parasol Tree fell off.

The Dominating Throne transformed into a small sphere, flying along as they hurriedly ran out of the nest.

As night fell, they set out through the night.
