Chapter 269: Ancient Realm!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Golden Cicada suddenly appeared in the last intact insect nest outside the city and quickly transformed into the appearance of Queen Blade.
Staying right where she was, Queen Blade was gasping frantically.
At this moment, she no longer had that excitement of deceiving Hao Huang just now, and deep fear appeared on her face.
“Source Realm… Source Realm Level One.”
“If I die one more time… just once, my power will regress to the Spirit Realm and I won’t be able to activate the Golden Cicada Sh.e.l.l Shedding technique.”
By that time, if she died again, she would really die.
She vaguely recalled the two deaths just now.
A profound sense of shame instantly filled Queen Blade’s entire body!
‘No…’
Not just that.
Shame was completely irrelevant. What was important was that the taste of death had triggered a heartfelt shudder from within Queen Blade.
“I don’t want to die…”
“I don’t want to die…”
“Boom!”
A huge energy fluctuation emanated from the city—Hao Huang was already engaged in a battle with Lu Ming.
However, the sounds of battle came and went fast.
Without needing to witness anything firsthand, Queen Blade realized one thing – Hao Huang could not hold on…
He could not withstand it at all!
So, no one could save her!
“No! I don’t want to die!!”
Queen Blade’s beautiful face suddenly contorted, and she paced back and forth, quickly making up her mind.
“This is the only way.”
She quickly approached the mother insect and reached out to touch it.
“Requesting to establish long-range communication.”
“The communication parties, Queen Blade, and c.o.c.kroach Night.”
The long-range communication was quickly connected.
At this moment, there was a hint of disgust on Queen Blades’ face, but her tone was unprecedentedly coquettish.
“Brother c.o.c.kroach Night? Is that you?”
“It’s me, it’s me. Sister Blade, why do you have the time to contact me? Could it be the matter I mentioned last time…”
“I agree.” After saying this, the disgust in Queen Blades’ eyes deepened. “I agree to become your mate. I will provide you with my genes and my fertility and give birth to thousands of offspring you desire.”
The other party’s breathing suddenly became heavy.
“But now, I’m in trouble. 1 need your help.”
As the saying went, it was the hardest to accept the favor of a beautiful woman.
Hearing what his beloved mother insect had said, the male insect called c.o.c.kroach Night immediately said, “I won’t hesitate to climb a mountain of blades or go through a sea of fire!”
“I encountered an enemy of the Ancient Realm. He’s hunting me now. Brother Night, your army is not far from the Hundred Thousand Mountains. See if you can ask your family to save my life.”
After saying that, Queen Blade said in a gentler tone, “As long as you save me once, I’ll do anything in the future—”
c.o.c.kroach Night fell silent.
An enemy of the Ancient Realm…
This was really not to be trifled with…
After thinking for a long time, c.o.c.kroach Night gritted its teeth and said, “I’ll beg my second uncle. It’s most likely possible to save you, but it’s probably a little difficult to kill the opponent. You also know that my second uncle has just broken through to the Ancient Realm…”
“Boom!”
The loud noise from the outside world made Queen Blade shudder.
Before c.o.c.kroach Night could finish speaking, she immediately screamed, “Quick! Hurry up! He’s here!”
“Boom!”
The top of the nest suddenly exploded.
A figure descended from the sky and landed in front of Queen Blade.
Queen Blade was suddenly stunned because what appeared before her was not Lu Ming but a monster with the head of Esek.
At this moment, Esek looked at Queen Blade’s panicked face and could not help but laugh wildly!
“Calling for help?”
“c.o.c.kroach Night?”
“His second uncle?”
“Oh ho ho ho ho!”
“And, Iceberg Beauty of the Insect Clan, how did you know…”
Esek slowly extended its claws.
The four knife-like nails on its right claw flickered with a faint purple light.
But what was most eye-catching was the faint golden pattern on the back of his right hand.
The patterns were exquisite and glossy, vaguely forming the shape of a magatama.
When she saw this golden pattern, Queen Blade’s expression changed. Seeing this, Esek’s laughter became even more arrogant.
“How did you know that I’ve already reached the Ancient Realm?!”
Just one move would be so devastating that not even a single blade of gra.s.s would grow.
Lu Ming, who was 20 meters tall and looked more like a giant than the giants in the Giant Clan, stood at the center of the drill ground.
His gaze swept around, but there was no worthy opponent in sight!
“Source Realm Peak? That’s all!”
Muttering in a dull voice, Lu Ming also knew that his power system had diverged from the normal source-powered extraordinary system.
He could defeat Hao Huang because under normal circ.u.mstances, Lu Ming’s physical strength far surpa.s.sed Hao Huang’s!
Yes, it far exceeded, not just by one or two times, but by orders of magnitude! Possibly not just a single-digit difference.
This immense difference in physical strength, combined with the characteristic of the Force System that ignored the enemy’s protective techniques, made it impossible for Hao Huang to withstand even a single attack from Lu Ming!
“But there’s something strange…”
“That is, Haohuang’s Source Power control ability seems to be ineffective against me.”
Just now, the Infinite Rotating Wheel that Hao Huang had used contained the characteristics of a Source Realm expert, the ability to control source power!
In this move, the first thing to compare was the control of source power by both sides. If the opponent’s source power control was inferior to Hao Huang’s, then his source power would be sucked dry by the Infinite Rotating Wheel, rendering him completely defenseless.
As for Lu Ming’s Source Power control, it was clearly inferior to the Source Realm Peak, Hao Huang.
He only had the source power control characteristic when in the Source State. Moreover, the characteristics were not strong and were slightly weaker than the Source Realm Level One, only suitable for dealing with weaker opponents.
Previously, Queen Blade had also tried to use source power control on Lu Ming, but she could not extract any source power from within Lu Ming’s body.
At that time, Lu Ming thought that it was because his physical strength was too strong, making him immune to the source power control of a Source Realm Level Three.
But Lu Ming was mistaken.
As Hao Huang’s Infinite Wheel approached him, Lu Ming clearly sensed that the source power within him was indeed showing signs of losing control—this meant that the control of source power was still effective on him.
However, under the protection of the light of the protective technique, Hao Huang’s control of source power was in vain…
“It’s a body protective technique.”
“However, 1 really didn’t expect that the transformed body protective technique could actually withstand the source power control of a Source Realm Peak expert…”
With this in mind, Lu Ming opened the attribute panel and looked at the body protective technique column.
And there, it was clearly written:
Yin-Yang Mirror (Divine Ability).
[Additional special effects: Absolute Defense (Level 1), Flame Vigor Burning, Enhanced Repulsive Force, Nourishment.]
Yes, when Queen Blade sneaked into Lu Ming’s room and fed Lu Ming the insects, Lu Ming was cultivating the Yin-Yang Mirror to the Divine Power Realm.
Not only did this bring Lu Ming new special effects, but the acc.u.mulation of new special effects seemed to have the effect of triggering a qualitative change in quant.i.ty, causing Lu Ming’s protective technique special effects to completely integrate!
A large number of characteristics such as defense strengthening and elemental resistance were integrated into a special effect called Absolute Defense (Level 1).
“Also, what does this thing mean?”
Lowering his head to look at his chest, Lu Ming could vaguely see a silver wave-like pattern appearing on his chest.
This strange thing appeared out of thin air on Lu Ming’s body after the special effects integration.
Although it was strange, Lu Ming realized that this thing posed no danger to him at all and might even be a part of himself.
If he could not figure it out, he would not think about it.
After simply getting his bearings, Lu Ming looked outside the city.
That was the location where Queen Blade was!
