Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 698 698: Perception Network

With the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor's power, ordinary insect race tribes naturally pose no threat to him.

Even if the strongest tribe in the Insect Race Plane takes action, the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor can leave as he pleases.

But this time, the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor is not alone; he is accompanied by Herag and the Toad.

He's also unsure of what methods Herag and the Toad have to escape, so he has to be more cautious in his actions.

Herag and his group are trying their best to avoid attracting the attention of the insect race, or else they will be caught in endless trouble, hard to escape.

Even against relatively weak insect races, Herag's group finds it hard to ensure a complete eradication.

If they can't quickly resolve the battle in a short time, it will attract the attention of other insect race tribes.

The insect race's unique information-sharing talent is too powerful, and any slightest movement can quickly spread throughout the Insect Race Plane.

By then, it'll be like poking a hornet's nest, making Herag's duo's goal of finding something difficult to achieve.

"Be careful, there's an insect race tribe nearby," the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor reminded.

They traversed the void for half a month and arrived at the outskirts of a galaxy.

Their goal was not to enter that galaxy, just to pass by it.

As soon as the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor approached, he discovered the insect race tribe in that galaxy and immediately spoke up to warn.

Herag turned to look over, but all he could see were the slowly rotating massive stars; he didn't spot anything else.

The distance was too great to capture any useful information.

Herag glanced at the huge galaxy, filled with countless stars and meteors that shone brightly, some dazzlingly.

The group restrained all their auras, using various celestial bodies to hide their whereabouts as they moved slowly forward.

Although their speed was quite fast, in the boundless universe, it seemed a bit slow.

From afar, their progress appeared sluggish, almost like millimeter-by-millimeter movement.

...

Cyan Armor Star Realm.

This is the territory belonging to the Cyan Beetle Race, owned by the great Level 8 Dominator, the Cyan Beetle King.

The Cyan Beetle King is also a legendary figure; his bloodline is extremely noble, but the tribe had declined.

The Cyan Beetle King was born into the strongest Ninth-Level Race in the Insect Race Plane and was a member of the royal family, possessing noble bloodline power.

But shortly after his birth, the tribe was involved in wars with other tribes.

In that battle, the Cyan Armor Race was besieged by several tribes of similar rank, and after barely holding on for just a few decades, they were completely exterminated.

The Heart of the Insect Race was devoured by other tribes, the territory was occupied, and all Cyan Armor Race insect races were exterminated.

The Cyan Beetle King was still young, and in the last few years before the tribe's extermination, he was secretly sent away by his people, fleeing to other star realms.

Although young, due to the information-sharing reason, the Cyan Beetle King knew everything.

He saw the invading enemies and the fallen tribesmen.

When the Cyan Armor Race was exterminated, he also saw the destruction of the territory's nest, and witnessed the last tribe member dying in battle.

He saw his elders fall one by one, and heard the information they conveyed to him before dying.

"Survive, start anew."

To start anew is easier said than done; the Cyan Beetle Race was a Ninth-Level Race, the highest-level tribe in the Insect Race Plane.

However, when the Cyan Beetle King escaped, there were only a few hundred tribesmen with him, a group of defeated remnants.

Such a feeble force was extremely weak in the Insect Race Plane, easily exterminated by encountering any low-level tribe.

But under such circumstances, the Cyan Beetle King managed to develop step by step, from a group of defeated remnants into today's Eighth-Level Race, just one step away from the original Ninth-Level Cyan Armor Race.

The Cyan Armor Race dominates a star realm, with no one daring to challenge its edge.

Now they only need time, waiting for the Cyan Beetle King to advance to Level 9 before the Cyan Armor Race can restore its former glory.

The Cyan Beetle King's ambition doesn't stop there; he still clearly remembers which tribes invaded them.

These tribes have always been remembered, never forgotten.

He is determined to settle this score once his power becomes strong enough.

The Cyan Armor Star Realm has a perception network, a product of the Cyan Beetle Race's unique racial talent ability.

The entire Cyan Armor Star Realm's world rules are interwoven with a kind of thread, a thread produced by a low-level insect race from the Cyan Beetle Race.

Higher-level insect races can utilize these threads, weaving them into the surrounding world rules, forming a vast perception network.

The greatest function of this perception network is to sense all fluctuations within its range.

Rocks have their own fluctuation frequencies, planets have theirs.

Most of the time within the star realm, the operation of things is regular, and fluctuations are stable and regular.

Even if some cosmic dust intrudes, or meteors pass through, these have specific fluctuation patterns, can be sensed, and clearly identified.

The perception network provides a good defense method for the Cyan Beetle Race, being fully aware of all movements within the territory.

If outsiders intrude, they'll be sensed immediately.

In the perception network, hiding aura is useless, disguising is also useless.

Every living being has its own fluctuation frequency, something the Cyan Beetle Race's special means can sense, and can't be avoided.

This fluctuation is possessed by any living being, and most are unaware of it.

The Cyan Beetle Race is merely one of countless tribes in the Insect Race Plane, insignificant, and few know of its means.

Herag and others from other planes don't know this method at all, not even noticing it.

Only the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor feels something strange, sensing as if he's been glanced at.

That feeling is not being directly stared at but a very peculiar feeling of being seen.

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor doesn't know the means of the Cyan Beetle Race and is even more unaware that they are already within the perception network of the Cyan Beetle Race.

But the instinctive feeling from the Ancestor allows him to realize they've already been exposed.

Although not knowing where the problem originated, nor understanding how they were discovered.

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor turned back and said, "We've been discovered."

"Discovered?" Herag was completely unaware; he had been very cautious and alert to the surroundings.

Within the visible range, not a single living creature is present, let alone insects; how could they be exposed in this situation?

"Though not knowing how we were exposed, I think we need to speed up," the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor spoke leisurely.
