Chapter 719 - 345: Has Evolution Already Succeeded? (Part 2)
"It really is there..." Su Jiameng’s lips curled into a confident smile, then she said to Liang Xiaonuo and the others, "I will attack that place with all my might three times later. When you see something like a vortex appear, go in immediately!"
The Blinding Technique set by the Insect Imperial was truly formidable, similar to arrays from the Cultivation World. However, the method to break this array was simple. By targeting a point, as Su Jiameng did, one could achieve it, but the difficulty was not small.
Firstly, finding that "point" wasn’t easy, and secondly, it required telekinesis as a means to break it, otherwise all would be lost.
With this previous attempt, the following actions were naturally much simpler. The five of them entered just as the vortex was disappearing, revealing the true appearance hidden beneath the illusory scene. As Su Jiameng said, the scene was indeed distorted!
They previously thought they were seeing the place where the Insect Imperial was breaking through, but in reality, they were almost fifty miles off the true destination! Seeing this result, Liang Xiaonuo and the others exchanged looks, while a trace of brilliance flashed in Theo’s eyes.
Over the years, they witnessed Su Jiameng’s formidable fighting abilities, and knew telekinesis in battle could exert several hundred percent of combat power, but never thought this ability could have such a marvelous use. Theo felt like a new world was opening before his eyes.
"That’s where we need to go. Now, everyone move out!" Led by Su Jiameng, they dashed towards the real target. It was a desolate land of extinct volcanoes, covered with black stubborn rocks, devoid of any vegetation.
According to earlier interstellar data, this was once a group of active volcanoes, showing signs of eruptions all year round. People utilized the natural geographical advantage to establish many hot spring resorts outside the safe area for travelers, flourishing in business.
However, after the outbreak of the Insect Race disaster, it became utterly desolate. Previously mentioned, the Insect Race loves energy, and the group of active volcanoes was already a place rich in energy. A number of powerful Insect Race settled in nearby soil or rocks, diligently absorbing magma energy daily, evolving as fast as those that did so by devouring life forms.
Initially, the Thousand Illusion Beast Insect Imperial mainly devoured biological energy. After evolving to a certain level, it targeted this place. It started from the weakest insects parasitized in this area and gradually advanced towards the center, step by step reaching the position of the Insect Imperial.
Now, it has accumulated enough energy and is here cocooning for evolution! Naturally, before coming to the Dark West Corner Star Domain, Su Jiameng and the others did their homework, carefully reviewing all available information.
This Insect Imperial was not simple. It once left the center of the Dark West Corner Star Domain, rampaging at the border of the "Life and Death Line," severely crippling the allied forces, then arrogantly returned to the center before experts arrived, which was actually a form of deterrence. Telling the Alliance, there’s still a boss here, don’t try to gather all the troops to annihilate all the insects!
However, now it seems, Su Jiameng had a different view.
To many, this was just a random killing and feeding by the Insect Imperial, nothing worth pondering. But according to her speculation, it might have realized it was about to evolve and would need significant time. If the Alliance were to attack in full force, it would fail to evolve and die at the hands of the Alliance! Therefore, that slaughter and deterrence occurred.

Unfortunately, at the time, the Alliance didn’t consider this possibility. The Thousand Illusion Beast Insect Imperial’s temporary cruel outburst left them in a panic, not daring further actions, unnecessarily giving it plenty of time to accumulate and prepare, now brewing into a disaster.
The terrain behind was unsuitable for using Mecha, so they switched to aircraft and continued onward. As Su Jiameng observed the road ahead, she had a sudden realization. The Plane task system arranged this likely because it deemed the threat of this Insect Imperial too great?
"Sigh... It’s good we came timely, if we came a bit late, we might not leave the Dark West Corner Star Domain." Leading four others into the now completely cold volcano crater, Su Jiameng flew downward, feeling a surge of relief.
In the scene she saw, the volcanoes here were all "dead," and at least ten thousand meters down was where hot magma flowed! This showed just how much energy the Thousand Illusion Beast had absorbed, and how terrifying its current combat power could be.
Damn, only this kind of guy could be considered a universe-level boss! However, this guy was at a critical period now, and its combat strength probably wouldn’t be too high, akin to having a strong negative status. Otherwise, merely these few of them wouldn’t possibly defeat it! Following the route in her memory, Su Jiameng and others arrived safely at a place that could be described as an endless maze!
It’s called a maze because there were hundreds of thousands of interconnected openings here!
These were dug out by the subordinates of the Thousand Illusion Beast, but after gnawing out such magnificent scenery with their mouths, they were swallowed by their leader, to pave the way for its evolution.
"Do we have to find the correct path in such a short time?" Lu Anchen’s face turned dark. Although he was a strong scout-type warrior, it didn’t mean he was adept at navigating mazes!
Darn, don’t say that holding the maze’s wall will definitely find a way out, but in such a three-dimensional complex maze, even if you flatten the walls with your hand, you still wouldn’t find the exit! Lu Anchen cast expectant eyes towards Su Jiameng. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
