Chapter 1155 - 736: Ugly Explosion_2
...
...
The Snakebark Maple, Silver Cypress, and Red Moonseed, all those enlightened by ’Ying’, successfully fused with the Technological Star Core.
Other insects, who grasped the Sea Beast Devouring ability, also completed it one after another.
It’s quite similar to Dragon Cypress’s situation, using ’beasts’ as a tool and medium to wield the Space Teleportation ability granted by the Technological Star Core.
The difference lies in Dragon Cypress mimicking artists.
Other insects mimic the Solitary Wolf.
Probably due to the use of Spatial Law Divine Stone by the Purple-Red Technological Star Core, Dragon Cypress needs only 0.01 to 0.02 seconds for space traversal preparation and instantly reaches the destination.
While the ordinary Technological Star Core, including Ink Orchid, requires about 0.2 to 0.3 seconds for preparation.
An exaggerated gap of more than tenfold.
Dragon Cypress speculates it might also be due to factors like soul intensity and spiritual power release rate.
The inherent difference between the Purple-Red Technological Star Core and the ordinary one should be about three to five times.
...
The Spiked Cypress guy is much slower.
Took 520 years, finally managed to perfect biomimicry and transformation practice.
[Time: 78 Era-131 Origin-291 Year]
Rooting in Venus Star System for the 11,421st year.
Dragon Cypress has developed all aspects to the pinnacle, lost interest in philosophical, historical, and art books, with nothing to do, entered hibernation and waited.
"Ants!"
"Ants! Ants!"
"There’s a commotion in Spikehead’s area! Did it finally succeed?"
"Awaken! Awaken! All of you awake!"
"Spiked Cypress seems to have succeeded!"
Dragon Cypress was startled awake by the impatient, rude spiritual power call.
Bicolor Mulberry, getting bored day by day, took the initiative to handle the awakening duty.
Roused all the insects hibernating in Xianglan Mountain.
"..."
Dragon Cypress got up, activated the Star Network Account ability, glanced at the time.
Spiked Cypress spent roughly 550 years altogether.
"Great King?"
Under the Short-Handled Horn Tree, Rainbow Parasol Tree’s spiritual mind came, "Rainbow Light sent word that Spiked Cypress finally succeeded! He’s undergoing Pupa Change."
"Let’s go see!"
Dragon Cypress used Soul-Setting ability lightly, a blue-purple-red droplet floated from his forehead, forming a water membrane enveloping the whole body, and disappeared.
With two consecutive extreme distance space teleports, appeared twenty kilometers north of Xianglan Mountain.
Unfolded spiritual power and scanned.
In the depths of the barren mountains far from Xianglan Mountain’s ant nest, Spiked Cypress transformed into a black Primordial Energy ’Insect Cocoon’, undergoing Chrysalis Transformation and Evolution.
Rainbow Tea, Rainbow Apricot, Rainbow Light commanded the Ant Army to guard around.
Dragon Cypress flashed again, appearing at the mountainside cave entrance.
"Great King!"
Rainbow Tea ran up to greet.
Dragon Cypress waved his tentacle, signaling to stay calm.
Other insects in Xianglan Mountain either space teleported, flew swiftly at high altitudes, or ran on the ground, quickly arriving.
Silently waiting,
Half a day later, in the depths of the mountain belly nest, the Primordial Energy black cocoon receded and disappeared, revealing Spiked Cypress’s figure.
Underwent enormous mutation, as a combat-type Gigantification Ant, the originally one-third body length mandible tooth degenerated to only a tenth of the body length.
The tentacle, once nearly three meters long, shortened to less than a meter, looking extremely discomforting.
Influenced by Solitary Wolf bloodline, the entire insect body shape also became distorted, indescribably strange.
Spiked Cypress buried his head, eating the five White Refining Beads prepared aside, slightly raised his head, stood still for a moment, recovered Physical Strength,
got up, moved legs and feet, swept spiritual power outside the cave, twisted and ran out.
"Great King!"
"Rainbow Parasol Tree, Rainbow Tea, Rainbow Apricot, Rainbow Light, you’ve worked hard."
Spiked Cypress raised his claw, hopefully said: "Great King, let me try it?"
Dragon Cypress’s forehead Shanglu Divine Pattern shone, a black-and-white Technological Star Core floated towards Spiked Cypress.
Spiked Cypress caught it, tweaked with his claw, slightly sensed, raised his claw, pressed it to his forehead.
Spiked Cypress uses Ancestral Divine Power and Adaptive Evolution as core, condensed into ’Black Bettle Giant Head Ant’ shaped star core.
Under contact with Technological Star Core, the ultimate Black Bettle Giant Head Ant star core erupted with intense Primordial Energy Fluctuation.
Technological Star Core automatically absorbed and merged with Spiked Cypress’s star core, facing strong resistance from Spiked Cypress’s ’Ultimate Black Bettle Giant Head Ant’ star core.
Conversely, like black hole devouring, Spiked Cypress’s ultimate Black Bettle Giant Head Ant star core pulled the Technological Star Core, merging into itself, transforming into countless black-white crystal grains, swallowed and vanished.
Fusion complete.
The originally pitch-black light-absorbing ultimate Black Bettle Giant Head Ant star core’s surface surfaced dense white pattern.
’Black Bettle Giant Head Ant’ dyed into ’White Beetle’.
The deep black spot on the forehead transformed into a shining white spot.
"Seems, it’s good now?"
Spiked Cypress hesitated, slightly raised his head, sensed, pondered for two seconds, unfolded spiritual power gently, body disappeared.
Next moment, appeared directly on the hilltop.
Disappeared again, directly traversed space, appeared on a peak three kilometers away.
Figure flashed repeatedly, made a big circle, finally returned in front of Dragon Cypress.
"Great King! Did you see it? Clearly, integrating directly with his own star core, makes it easier and convenient to use."
Spiked Cypress, elated, somewhat smug, raised his claw and groomed the tentacle, waved and said: "Round Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, Giant Cypress, Silver Cypress hurry up, prepare some food, let’s have a feast and celebrate."
Round Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, Giant Cypress, Silver Cypress remained unmoved, glanced coldly askance.
Silver Cypress: "Spiked Cypress, forgive my candor, your appearance now, seriously, ugly as can be!"
"Superficial!"
"Small matter!"
"After a full meal and a rest, I’ll molt once more, change back just fine."
Spiked Cypress urged again, "Silver Cypress, move quickly, get some food~!"
Silver Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress curled his tentacle, tapped Spiked Cypress’s head, inquired: "Feel any anomaly or any issues?"
Spiked Cypress replied sternly: "To Great King, no anomalies detected! Also haven’t felt anything amiss!"
