Chapter 520 - 336: The Fat Silkworm’s Metamorphosis 2

Chapter 520: Chapter 336: The Fat Silkworm’s Metamorphosis 2

Only the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm was still active. With wide, pitch-black eyes and a nexus connected to its head, it gnawed relentlessly on the Emperor Level Flood Dragon Heart.

The Emperor’s Heart was a full major tier higher than the silkworm, containing an incredibly vast amount of Blood Qi. Even as the Little Fatty Silkworm devoured it with all its might, the Blood Qi within showed no signs of diminishing.

It wasn’t just the heart. The Emperor Soul Crystal used for Grey’s breakthrough last time had only consumed a fraction of its energy. The remaining Spiritual Energy was still plentiful; a Monarch Level Crystal Stone would have been more than enough. It was pure extravagance on Bobo Man’s part.

Gradually, the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s form began to change.

’Huh? Is it starting to evolve? The Little Fatty Silkworm isn’t following the path on its panel... it’s evolving on its own?!’

With an unlimited triple supply of Blood Qi, Spiritual Energy, and Spiritual Power, a dense, bloody light enveloped the chubby surface of the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s fat, Blood Jade-like body.

The entire silkworm looked as if it had transformed into a giant heart, and it began to throb slowly.

It began to absorb more and more Spiritual Energy.

But compared to the True Essence, as vast as the deep sea, this was a trivial amount.

Just as Han Ning and his family were frantically absorbing the nutrients from the True Essence...

[Other lifeforms are approaching. Do you wish to sever the space?]

From the end of the corridor around the corner of the grand hall, the sound of heavy footsteps suddenly echoed.

The few Puppets the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm had stationed at the entrance disintegrated into dust and vanished.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The resounding footsteps, filled with a crushing presence, echoed down the corridor, each one like a soul-stealing drumbeat.

’Someone’s coming!’

At the same time, Han Ning’s eyes snapped open. Without a moment’s hesitation, he silently willed, ’Yes!’

[Severing space...]

He glanced toward the corner.

A towering monster of brilliant yellow crystal, its head nearly scraping the ceiling, rapidly came into view.

[

Race: Destruction Apostle

Gender: None

Talent: B+

Level: Monarch IV

Talent: Life-taking Shock

Mastered Elements: Gold, Rock, Star

Introduction: Its Body comes from the Holy Crystal Ocean, the very foundation of the continent. Its will was born from the many ancestral spirits of the Holy Crystal Race, a hybrid creation of nature and intelligent life.

"Oh? So it’s you!"

Following the cold, hoarse voice, the aloof and beautiful Ruiyue leaped from the Destruction Apostle’s five-meter-tall Body. Her white robes billowed violently, whipped about by a spiritual storm.

She looked vastly different from when Han Ning had encountered her on the Gray Demon Whale.

She still had fair skin, but her long black hair had turned a brilliant silver, casually pulled back and tied up.

A silver hair ornament, shimmering with a hazy light, was pinned to the side of her head.

A pair of luminous wings had sprouted from her humanoid back, formed from forking branches of yellow crystal that pulsed with light.

"You worthless pretty boy, hiding behind Irena! You’re the one who got my brother banished from the Secret Realm!"

A cold glint flickered deep within Ruiyue’s eyes as the space around her began to fluctuate violently.

"Cease what you are doing and kneel before me!"

’Fuck, a Monarch IV Soul Beast... our whole family combined would struggle to fight one, let alone her six,’ Han Ning cursed inwardly.

But Ruiyue had no intention of giving him time to struggle. The Destruction Apostle’s attack was already upon them.

A brilliant golden spear, radiating terrifying ripples of power, tore through the air and shot straight at them!

"SKREE!!"

Just then, Egg Pancake, whose eyes had been shut tight, snapped them open. Its body grew section by section as it stepped forward. Surging, dark red Dragon Power flared to life within its core, and a series of spikes rippling with gravity waves materialized before it.

POOF!

Its claws, burning with Dragon Power, closed around the golden spear and were instantly obliterated into dust. The spear’s momentum didn’t slow in the slightest as it continued its path toward Egg Pancake’s chest.

"ROAR!!"

Egg Pancake let out a furious roar. Within a radius of tens of meters, the hazy image of erupting volcanoes and falling meteors materialized.

The concentration of Rock and Fire Dual Type Spiritual Energy in the air spiked instantly.

But for all its efforts, it only managed to slow the spear’s advance by the barest of margins.

"A maggot-like creature, daring to defy the radiance of the Holy Crystal."

Seeing how easily Egg Pancake was overwhelmed, Ruiyue’s face twisted in disdain. She was about to command her other Soul Beasts to blast these small fry out of the Secret Realm for good.

But in the next instant, something unexpected happened!

A deep, dark chasm suddenly split the space between her and the Destruction Apostle. Everything in front of them—the resplendent palace, the room full of treasure, the grim-faced Alien Race Beast Master—vanished into Darkness.

"Damn it! You won’t get away!"

Ruiyue cursed, her brow furrowed in anger. Her snow-white cheeks began to show signs of turning into crystal.

Meanwhile, in the other half of the hall...

Because the Destruction Apostle had already engaged Egg Pancake in combat, the panel had been unable to sever the space it occupied. In the not-so-large hall, the opponent’s most powerful Soul Beast remained.

This all happened in an instant. In reality, the spear had just passed through Egg Pancake’s claws and was about to pierce its chest.

’Activate Ancient Dragon Bloodline! Ancient Dragon Transformation!’

Even with only one Soul Beast left, its strength was still Monarch IV. His family was still no match for it!

’Too weak. We’re too weak! We’re still far too weak.’

Han Ning gritted his teeth, pushing his Spiritual Surge Talent to its absolute limit. All of his Spiritual Power was already focused on amplifying Egg Pancake.

Their opponent had merely tossed a single Energy Spear, yet it was forcing them to use every trick they had just to defend against it.

Dark red Flames erupted from Egg Pancake’s body.

In that moment, a wave of biting, violent energy exploded outward from its body!

WHOOSH~

Its body swelled in an instant, growing so enormous it nearly burst through the hall’s entrance. The claws that had been destroyed grew back.

Before it, the Destruction Apostle now seemed as small as a helpless toddler.

A pair of massive claws covered in dark red markings closed around the slightly slowed spear once more.

ZZZZT~

A dazzling, golden brilliance surged forth, bathing the entire hall in a blinding light.

FLASH—

And with a final burst of golden light...

Panting heavily, sweat pouring off it like rain, Egg Pancake reverted to its normal form. Its sturdy body was riddled with holes from the spear, like a sieve, its original shape barely recognizable.

"Oh? So you relied on a rare Ancient Dragon Bloodline to forcefully tap into its power, briefly breaking through to the Upper Monarch Level?"

"A pity... It’s still not enough. It seems this is the extent of your abilities. This ends now."

The massive Crystal Giant sent an oppressive Spiritual Message, toying with them like a cat with a mouse.

It was obvious that this was Ruiyue, remotely commanding the Destruction Apostle with her Spiritual Power.

It watched the near-dead Egg Pancake with great interest, its gaze sweeping over it.

The spear that had vanished reconvened, forming once more.

"Your paramour Irena isn’t here to save you. How will you stop this one?"

And yet... just as Ruiyue’s Spiritual Power swept over them...

Egg Pancake, crouched on the ground, its body riddled with holes and on the brink of death, suddenly erupted with vigorous life force once again.

Its dim Power core flared with a brilliant, dark red light.

Its flesh and blood began to regenerate at the speed of light.

The Flood Dragon True Essence above its head was constantly channeling a limitless supply of Energy, Blood Qi, and Spiritual Power into it!

In an instant, the True Essence restored Egg Pancake’s body to its peak condition. It rose once more, activated its Ancient Dragon Bloodline, and faced the spear.

BOOM!

The next second, its body was blasted to dust by the vicious golden spear.

And again, in the blink of an eye, it was completely restored.

"Even with the True Essence replenishing you, the gap in our power is too great to overcome."

Ruiyue snorted coldly. The Destruction Apostle’s crystalline Body refracted a dazzling golden light.

In an instant, a hundred identical spears materialized before it.

Without another word, she commanded the Destruction Apostle to wave its hand.

A hundred brilliant golden spears, imbued with the deathly might of an apocalypse, descended upon Han Ning and his companions.

’It’s over!’

A look of despair crossed Han Ning’s face. Even if he and Egg Pancake gave it their all, they could not withstand the power of an Upper Monarch.

This was the difference in power!

Just as the spears were about to strike...

A low, deep heartbeat suddenly echoed through the silent hall.

Suddenly, an endless sea of crimson flesh surged up, swallowing the rain of spears from the sky.
