“Turns out that was an Insect Race Mother Nest?” Luo Feng felt a wave of fear in his heart.
Yes, fear!
The Insect Race was one of the peak races in the universe, powerful enough to stand alongside humanity.
It was an extremely strange race.
As for the population of the Insect Race, it could be terrifyingly large, yet pitifully small at the same time. A single Insect Race Mother Nest could give birth to countless Insect Race warriors, and their way of dominating the universe was through overwhelming numbers. On the other hand, those Insect Race warriors that fought had extremely low intelligence, almost no intelligence at all, possessing only instinct.
Countless Insect Race warriors absolutely obeyed the orders of the Mother Nest.
If the Mother Nest ordered them to die, not a single Insect Race warrior would resist.
Therefore…
Within the Insect Race, only the Mother Nest could truly be considered an intelligent lifeform. When counted by Mother Nests, the population of the Insect Race was pitifully small.
The weakest Mother Nest was comparable to a World Lord, while the powerful ones were enough to rival Immortal existences. A single Mother Nest could give birth to countless Insect Race warriors, enough to occupy an entire star system, or even rule over a vast star region!
“The Mother Nest is on Earth?” Luo Feng felt a chill in his heart. “Babata, you bastard!”
In reality, Solar System, Mars.
The small Golden Horned Beast suddenly transformed into a stream of air, rapidly changing into the black robed Luo Feng.
“Babata, what is going on?” Luo Feng roared.
The Golden Horned Beast was now at the eighth level of the Universe level, so it could maintain its consciousness in both reality and the Virtual Universe at any time. Moreover, its innate secret technique allowed Luo Feng to remain partially conscious even when his original body was concentrating fully on another task.
“What are you shouting about?” Babata said unhappily.
“You’re still asking me? Tell me, what is that mysterious sphere in Shennongjia?” Black robed Luo Feng shouted angrily.
“Luo Feng, I’ve already told you, don’t be anxious. When the time comes for you to know, I’ll tell you. That thing isn’t something you can provoke right now.” Babata said.
“That is an Insect Race Mother Nest!”
Luo Feng shouted in a low voice. “Once it awakens, it can continuously produce huge numbers of Insect Race warriors. By then, countless Insect Race warriors could rapidly occupy the entire Milky Way Galaxy! They could even spread throughout the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region! This would be a disaster, a disaster! Once it awakens, Earth is finished!”
“With such a huge risk, you actually kept it hidden from me all this time.” Luo Feng was indeed furious.
Good heavens.
The Insect Race Mother Nest was actually on Earth. It was like discovering that there was an atomic bomb under your bed while you were sleeping, and that it could explode at any moment.
“Uh… you know?” Babata was astonished.
“Hmph!” Luo Feng suppressed his anger. “Tell me, what do we do now?”
The Insect Race, as a terrifying existence that stood alongside humanity as one of the peak races in the universe, made the existence of any Mother Nest a disaster on a catastrophic scale.
Therefore, information about Insect Race Mother Nests on the Virtual Universe Network had always been classified as highly restricted information and was never casually made available to the public.
However, Luo Feng already knew how terrifying the Insect Race was.
The inherited memories of the Golden Horned Beast had taken sixteen days to merge into his consciousness.
The memories were simply too vast.
Luo Feng had only organised them and had not viewed all of them. As for the Insect Race Mother Nest, he had only looked at some of the most basic information.
The basic introduction did not contain any pictures of an Insect Race Mother Nest. The basic introduction stated:
“The core of the Insect Race is one Mother Nest after another. A Mother Nest is a nest established by a ‘Mother Empress’.”
“The Mother Empress itself is physically weak. Although it possesses powerful spiritual force, its body is fragile. Therefore, it builds a powerful Mother Nest. The Mother Nest is like its armour.”
“The Mother Empress can give birth to countless Insect Race warriors. The appearance of the nest it establishes varies according to its own preferences.”
……
Back then, when Luo Feng was organising the inherited memories, he had only briefly looked through the most basic introduction.
But now, he was shocked to discover that there was an Insect Race Mother Nest on Earth!
So he immediately examined the information carefully.
The basic introduction to the Insect Race Mother Nest consisted of only a few sentences, but the detailed introduction contained tens of millions of words and a huge number of pictures. It described in detail how terrifying Insect Race Mother Nests were, the various types of Insect Race warriors they could produce, and so on. There were also countless pictures.
This allowed Luo Feng to quickly confirm it.
The thing on Earth was indeed an Insect Race Mother Nest.
“Don’t be angry, don’t panic. What are you worried about? Do you really think I would harm you or Earth?” Babata said.
“I know you wouldn’t, but I need to know what this Insect Race Mother Nest is all about.” Luo Feng communicated through consciousness. “If you don’t explain it clearly, I can’t rest easy!”
Who could possibly rest easy?
Something that could destroy the entire Earth, and even the entire Milky Way Galaxy, at any moment. Who could possibly remain calm?
“Fine.” Babata was helpless. “I’ll tell you. This Insect Race Mother Nest was obtained by your teacher back then on the ‘Extraterrestrial Battlefield’.”
“My teacher?”
Luo Feng immediately continued asking. “Tell me, is there a Mother Empress inside this Mother Nest?”
A Mother Nest was merely a nest, while the Insect Race Mother Empress was the true lifeform.
Because the Mother Empress itself was extremely weak, any expert could easily destroy its body. In addition, establishing a new nest required an enormous price, so the various Mother Empresses of the Insect Race almost never abandoned their own nests to establish new Mother Nests.
“Yes!”
“And it isn’t dead either.” Babata said.
“Ah!” Luo Feng’s expression changed completely.
“But don’t worry. It won’t pose any threat to Earth right now.” Babata explained. “Rest assured. You can think of it as being in a state of ‘slumber’, and it is a permanent slumber. As for the details, once you cultivate the Soul Seal to a level comparable to your teacher’s, you’ll understand.”
“Nothing will happen, right?” Luo Feng always felt that it was like a time bomb.
“No! Unless an Immortal with greater soul attainments than your teacher comes along.” Babata smiled. “An existence of that level could destroy Earth with a casual gesture. They wouldn’t go to all the trouble of reviving that Insect Race Mother Nest.”
Only then did Luo Feng relax. He then asked curiously, “Your teacher obtained this Mother Nest but didn’t kill it. What exactly did he want to do with it?”
“The potential of an Insect Race Mother Nest is enormous. If it could be enslaved like a human, then properly cultivated, your teacher would possess an extremely terrifying force. That endless army of Insect Race warriors alone would have been enough to save your teacher’s life during the calamity that killed him.” Babata sighed emotionally.
Luo Feng nodded.
An Insect Race Mother Nest could give birth to millions of types of Insect Race warriors.
Once one truly controlled a Mother Nest, it would become incredibly powerful. Faced with an endless sea of Insect Race warriors, even an Immortal would have a headache. If they were not this powerful, the Insect Race would not be one of the peak races.
“Teacher’s ambitions were truly enormous.” Luo Feng could not help saying.
Babata was helpless. “However, the lifeform of an Insect Race Mother Nest is very strange. Although it can be considered a pure lifeform, its soul is scattered throughout every Insect Race warrior. It can control the thoughts of all Insect Race warriors. Your teacher’s ‘Soul Seal of Enslavement’ could not control it either. Until he found a solution, he could only temporarily make it remain in eternal slumber.”
“So he just left it on Earth?” Luo Feng asked.
“It couldn’t exactly be left on Planet Yun Mo, could it?” Babata said.
Luo Feng was speechless.
The elimination round of the Genius Battle continued.
Battles continued in more than a million trial spaces.
“The powerful Insect Race Mother Nest has actually been weakened to such a low level.” Luo Feng’s golden weapon directly cleaved the Mother Nest apart.
A Mother Empress about six metres tall flew out from inside the Mother Nest. Her entire body was fair and crystalline, as though it had been carved from crystal. She possessed beautiful transparent butterfly wings, while her face was shrouded in a faint mist, giving her an extraordinary charm.
A strange and beautiful melody rang out and entered people’s ears.
“As expected of an Insect Race Mother Empress that excels at spiritual force. Even her charm is this powerful.”
At the same moment!
Whoosh!
A sharp surge of spiritual force directly pierced into Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness.
Boom!
The Tower of the Void stood completely motionless, and the attacking spiritual force directly collapsed.
……
Time passed day by day.
The beautiful Insect Race Mother Empress tried every possible method to attack Luo Feng, but her body was too weak, so she could only rely on spiritual techniques.
However, before Luo Feng, whose consciousness was incomparably powerful, whose will was firm, and who cultivated the Tower of the Void, her efforts were like an insect trying to shake a tree. She could not affect Luo Feng at all.
In fact, when one could kill all the Insect Race warriors, the Mother Empress generally had very little ability to resist.
The Mother Empress’s strength lay in its ability to give birth to endless numbers and countless varieties of Insect Race warriors.
“Countdown, ten days?”
Luo Feng lowered his head and looked at the countdown on the screen on his wrist. There were only a few minutes left until the ten days were complete.
He then stepped onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle and transformed into a curved streak of light, flying directly towards the Insect Race Mother Empress that had been hiding far away and had long since dared not provoke Luo Feng.
The seemingly weak and pitiful Insect Race Mother Empress looked at Luo Feng with a pair of beautiful blue eyes filled with faint resentment.
Puff!
The golden weapon pierced through her head.
“She is still trying to charm me.” Luo Feng pondered. “The Insect Race Mother Nest on the first level isn’t very strong. It can barely deal with an ordinary ninth level Stellar level expert.”
After killing all the opponents on all seven levels of the first trial tower, he was teleported into the second trial tower.
What shocked Luo Feng was that the opponents in the second trial tower were exactly the same as those in the first trial tower!
The only difference was that their strength had increased dramatically.
“The same Blood Haired Mammoths are already so much stronger in the second tower than in the first. Then how terrifying will the third and fourth towers be? There are still the fifth, sixth and seventh towers! No wonder the Virtual Universe Company is confident that it can make everyone die.” Luo Feng was somewhat shocked.
This trial was extremely difficult!
……
The targets and their numbers in all seven trial towers were exactly the same. Only their strength changed.
The first level always consisted of the fierce beasts known as Blood Haired Mammoths, 10,000 in total.
The second level consisted of the demon beasts known as Nine Headed Pythons, 10,000 in total. The difference between demon beasts and fierce beasts was that demon beasts possessed extremely high intelligence. The monsters on Earth, for example, were actually classified as demon beasts.
The third level always consisted of the metal lifeforms known as Tuo Luo warriors, 1,000 in total.
The fourth level consisted of the strange lifeforms of the universe known as Flying Hou, 1,000 in total. They were an extremely peculiar type of fierce beast.
The fifth level consisted of Mechanical Race puppets, 100 in total.
The sixth level consisted of the starry sky behemast known as Cang, 10 in total.
The seventh level consisted of one Insect Race Mother Nest.
All seven trial towers followed this same arrangement.
However, it was obvious that the strength of the targets in the seven trial towers continued to soar higher and higher.
