Chapter 833 634: Dead Water State
The abundant Divine-Given Seeds are unprecedented.
Dragon Cypress evolves from the 2nd Age Period to the 3rd Age Period with two Divine-Given Seeds available: North Pine and Short-Handled Horn Tree.
Dragon Cypress chooses North Pine, placing the seed in the Life Pouch for nurturing, but there's no rush to evolve yet.
...
Silver Cypress Year 136.
Black Birch, Black Leaf, and Black Persimmon complete a six-year period of war command and combat skill training.
Black Birch returns to Rainbow Island.
Dragon Cypress allocates ten thousand Specialized Blue Soldiers to initially form the Fourth Combat Corps, stationed at Xianglan Peak Main Nest, temporarily under Black Birch's command.
Black Leaf and Black Persimmon are still stuck at the 6th Age Period Lords, returning to Xianglan Mountain to rest and await the Divine-Grade Fruits.
...
Silver Cypress Year 137.
After spending 13 years, Dragon Cypress finally trains the Whirl Beast's most challenging Ice State to flexibility.
In water, Hydra's twelve tentacles transform into fins, aiding swift swimming, rivaling sea fish.
Once landed, it mimics centipedes, millipedes, and serpents; the tentacles become twelve short legs, enabling crawling and slithering, traversing mountains and ridges swiftly like a gust of wind, easily scaling vertical cliffs.
Cloud Mist State and Ice State are mastered perfectly.
Still lacking Living Water State and Biomimicry Devouring.
Living Water State merely emulates 'Whirl'.
As for Biomimicry Devouring, Dragon Cypress mimics an octopus, using Hydra Power's 12 tentacles to entwine and capture targets.
The transformations for these states are relatively straightforward.
Dragon Cypress adjusts his routine.
Morning practice for Whirl Beast Devouring's Living Water State;
Afternoon hardcore training for the single Thunder System ability 'Flash Strike';
Evenings reserve some time for practicing Biomimicry Devouring.
Ink Orchid, Mountain Persimmon, Spiked Cypress, Cypress, and Silver Cypress aren't idle either, waking at dawn's first light to start the day's training early, resting by midnight.
Suddenly one afternoon,
Dragon Cypress is practicing Flash Strike ability on the coastal beach, faintly sensing abnormal fluctuations on the island.
Activating Soul-Setting Ability for perception.
Seems it's Mountain Persimmon.
Subsequently, Silver Cypress, responsible for the lookout, reports: "Great King, it looks like Mountain Persimmon Beetle King is condensing the Divine Mark!"
"!!!"
Dragon Cypress flaps his wings, darting towards the cave where Mountain Persimmon resides.
Ink Orchid arrives first, vigorously waving its tentacle to signal.
"Be careful! Mountain Persimmon is condensing the Divine Mark! Don't disturb it!"
"..."
Silence ensues for two seconds.
Ink Orchid sighs and says: "Mountain Persimmon has condensed the Divine Mark~"
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress solemnly states: "It took 38 years to condense the first Divine Mark, hardly fast by any count."
"...Indeed!"
Ink Orchid reminds: "Mountain Persimmon's Origin Force Food is consumed, Stone Persimmon's Divine-Given Seed was nurtured 38 years ago, likely, right after condensing the Divine Mark, it will sleep to evolve."
Dragon Cypress: "No big deal. Silver Cypress, Round Cypress should come soon, prepare two Refining Beads, have some fresh food ready."
Ink Orchid: "Dominating Throne..."
Dominating Throne, lent to Ink Orchid for use, is still placed on the beach.
Dragon Cypress quickly flies up to retrieve it.
...
Midnight,
Mountain Persimmon awakens, successfully condensing the first Divine Mark.
Urgently feeding, simple rest preparations, and then commence sleep for evolution.
Ten more days later, waking from slumber.
2nd Age Period Insect King.
"Mountain Persimmon, Mountain Persimmon, what about your Ability Divine Pattern?"
Ink Orchid inquires.
"It's the 'Persimmon Flower's Pistil' ability I usually train..."
Mountain Persimmon steps out of the cave, seeking open ground.
A blue pattern lights up on his forehead.
Pure Wood Element Primordial Energy erupts,
Carapace tumorous protuberances extend blue tentacles, numerous, over a hundred, which are divided into two types: one long and sharp; the other shorter, hexagonal shield-shaped, resembling a raised shield.
Mountain Persimmon is very pleased, explaining: "An ability that combines offense and defense! The Divine Mark auxiliary effect significantly enhances defense! I think few attacks can harm me now."
Finishing, the shorter tentacles contract, the hexagonal shield enclosing completely, protecting his entire body, akin to wearing a solid turtle shell.
Gaps between the enclosed hexagonal shields allow sharp long tentacles to protrude, swaying, producing a whistling sound as they cut through the air.
——Very good!
——Indeed, combines offense and defense.
——Still great potential for improvement!
——Find one or two more compatible Wood Element Abilities.
...
Mountain Persimmon's Divine Pattern ability focused on defense, its offensive capability clearly lacking, quite ordinary, unremarkable.
Bloodline influences are quite profound on Insect Clan Warriors, with Red-Margined Tenebrionid Beetle excelling in defense, abilities awakened leaning toward defense, ultimately leaning toward defense when condensing the Divine Mark.
Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid offer insincere praise, departing dispersedly.
Black Peach and Round Cypress assist, planting Mountain Persimmon's newly nurtured Stone Persimmon Divine-Given Seed.
...
In the quiet few days,
Dusk, Dragon Cypress finishes practicing Flash Strike ability, preparing to go to sea, when endless Law Power appears out of thin air, rushing towards the other head of the cliff, the adjacent beach.
Ink Orchid's ability training ground...
Dragon Cypress sprints, quickly arriving to investigate, sure enough, Ink Orchid is lying on the Dominating Throne, vast Law Primordial Energy pouring into its body.
"..."
"Is this... stimulated by Mountain Persimmon... breakthrough?"
Dragon Cypress is dumbfounded.
With less than seven years, Mantis condenses the first Divine Mark, yet it's a Multi-System mixed form ability Divine Mark.
Dragon Cypress feels stimulated himself as well, choking up for a long time, deploying Soul-Setting Ability to contact nearby Spiked Cypress.
"Great King, has the Second King also condensed the Divine Mark?"
"Of course."
"Second King is so powerful!"
"Enough nonsense! Inform Round Cypress, after the Second King condenses the Divine Mark, it will immediately enter sleep to evolve to 2nd Age Period Insect King."
"Alright, Great King!"
Spiked Cypress, rushing towards this side of the beach, changes direction, running towards Azure Lake.
