“Originally, that was the Hive of the Insect Race?” Luo Feng’s heart quivered with fear.
Yes, fear!
The Insect Race is one of the peak races in the universe, rivaling humanity. It is a very peculiar species.
Regarding the population of the Insect Race… it can be said to be both incredibly vast and tragically scarce! A single Insect Hive can generate countless billions of insect warriors. They dominate the universe through sheer numbers. However, on the other hand, these insect warriors possess extremely low intelligence, nearly devoid of wisdom, acting only on instinct!
Countless insect warriors absolutely obey the Hive’s commands.
If the Hive orders them to die, not a single warrior will resist.
Therefore…
Within the Insect Race, only the ‘Hive’ qualifies as a truly intelligent lifeform. When considering the Hive as the unit, the population of the Insect Race becomes tragically scarce.
Each Hive is at least as powerful as a World Lord, with the strongest rivaling Immortals! A single Hive can spawn countless insect warriors sufficient to conquer an entire galaxy, or even rule a vast cosmic domain!
“The Hive is on Earth?” Luo Feng felt a chill run through his heart. “That bastard, Babata!”
…
In reality, on Mars in the Solar System, the small Golden-Horned Giant Beast suddenly transformed into a stream of air, quickly taking the form of Luo Feng in black attire.
“Babata, what’s going on?” Luo Feng roared.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast is now at the eighth stage of the Cosmic Level and can maintain independent consciousness both in reality and the Virtual Universe. Moreover, the innate secret technique ‘Cloning’ allows Luo Feng to fully concentrate his consciousness on a task while his clone still maintains a basic level of awareness.
“What’s the problem?” Babata grumbled.
“You dare ask? I’m asking you, what is that mysterious sphere in Shennongjia?” Luo Feng demanded angrily.
“Look, Luo Feng, I’ve already told you, don’t rush. When the time comes, you’ll know,” Babata replied. “That thing is not something you can deal with right now.”
“It’s an Insect Hive!”
Luo Feng hissed. “Once it awakens, it can continuously produce countless insect warriors. Then, an infinite number of insect warriors can quickly occupy the entire Milky Way! Even spread across the entire Heilongshan Star Domain! This is a disaster, a catastrophe! Once it awakens, Earth is doomed!”
“You’ve been hiding such a huge risk from me all along,” Luo Feng was indeed furious.
Goodness.
The Insect Hive is on Earth. It’s like finding out there’s an atomic bomb under your bed when you’re trying to sleep, ready to explode at any moment.
“Uh… you found out?” Babata was astonished.
“Hmph!” Luo Feng suppressed his anger. “Tell me, what do we do now?”
The Insect Race, as one of the terrifying peak races in the universe alongside humanity, each Hive’s existence is a disaster-level threat! Therefore, on the Virtual Universe network, information about the Insect Hive has always been classified and not easily accessible to the public. However, Luo Feng had long known about the terrifying nature of the Insect Race!
The inheritance memory of the ‘Golden-Horned Giant Beast’ initially took 16 days to integrate.
The memory was too vast.
Luo Feng had only sorted through it briefly and hadn’t watched it all. As for the ‘Insect Hive,’ Luo Feng had only seen the most basic information. The basic introduction did not include images of the Insect Hive. The basic introduction stated: “The core of the Insect Race is the individual Hives. The Hives are nests established by the ‘Queen.'”
“The Queen herself is frail, possessing only powerful mental abilities, but her body is weak. Therefore, she builds a powerful Hive, which serves as her armor.”
“The Queen can give birth to countless insect warriors. The nest she builds varies in appearance according to her will.”
…
Back then, Luo Feng had only briefly watched the basic introduction while organizing the inheritance memory. Now, he was shocked to discover—the Insect Hive is on Earth!
So frightened that he didn’t dare to check carefully.
The basic introduction of the ‘Insect Hive’ was only a few sentences. However, the ‘detailed introduction’ consisted of millions of words and numerous images… detailing the terrifying nature of the Insect Hive, the types of insect warriors it produces, and including many images. This allowed Luo Feng to quickly confirm.
The one on Earth is indeed the Insect Hive.
“Don’t be angry, don’t be in a hurry. What are you worried about? Do you think I would harm your Earth?” Babata said.
“I know you wouldn’t, but I need to know what this Insect Hive is all about,” Luo Feng communicated through his mind. “If you don’t explain it clearly, I can’t feel at ease!”
Who could feel at ease?
A device that could destroy the entire Earth and even the entire Milky Way at any moment, who could feel safe?
“Alright,” Babata sighed helplessly. “I’ll tell you. This Insect Hive was obtained by your teacher back then on the ‘battlefield beyond the domain.'”
“My teacher?”
Luo Feng immediately asked, “Tell me, is there a Queen inside this Hive?”
The Hive is just a nest, and the Insect Queen is the true life form. Because the Queen herself is very frail… even a random expert could easily destroy her body. Coupled with the high cost of building a nest, Insect Queens rarely abandon their nests to build new ones.
“Yes!”
“And she’s not dead yet,” Babata said.
“What!” Luo Feng’s face changed.
“Don’t worry, she poses no threat to Earth now,” Babata explained. “Rest assured, you can think of her as being in a ‘sleeping’ state, and it’s a permanent sleep. As for the details, you’ll understand when you cultivate the ‘Soul Seal’ to match your teacher’s level.”
“Nothing will go wrong, right?” Luo Feng still felt it was a ticking time bomb.
“Nothing will go wrong! Unless an Immortal with a higher achievement in soul cultivation than your teacher comes along,” Babata laughed. “Such a great existence could destroy Earth with a mere gesture. They wouldn’t go through the trouble of reviving the Insect Hive.”
Luo Feng finally felt reassured and then asked curiously, “My teacher obtained this Hive and didn’t kill her. What did he want to do with it?”
“The Insect Hive has great potential. If it could be enslaved like a person and then properly cultivated, your teacher would possess a very terrifying force. Just those endless insect armies would be enough to save your teacher’s life during his deadly crisis,” Babata sighed.
Luo Feng nodded.
The Insect Hive can give birth to countless types of insect warriors.
Once a Hive is truly controlled, it would be powerful. Facing an endless sea of insects… even Immortals would have headaches! If it weren’t so powerful, the Insect Race wouldn’t be one of the peak races.
“My teacher’s ambition is indeed great,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but say.
Babata sighed helplessly, “However, the life form of the Insect Hive is very strange. It can be said to be a purely living being, but its soul is scattered among each insect warrior. It can control the thoughts of all insect warriors. Your teacher’s ‘Enslaving Soul Seal’ cannot control it either. Before a solution is found, it can only be temporarily put into a permanent sleep.”
“So, it was just left on Earth?” Luo Feng said.
“Where else could it be left? On the Yintuoxing?” Babata replied.
Luo Feng was speechless.
…
The elimination in the Genius Competition was ongoing.
In over a million trial spaces, battles raged on.
“The powerful Insect Hive, reduced to such low strength,” Luo Feng’s golden illusion sword directly split the Hive open, revealing a Queen about six meters tall, her body white and crystalline like a piece of crystal. The Queen had beautiful transparent butterfly wings, her face veiled in a faint mist, exuding an extraordinary charm. A strange and wonderful music arose, entering the ears of those nearby.
“No wonder the Insect Queen is extremely skilled in mental power; her allure is so powerful.”
At the same moment! Hiss!
A sharp mental force pierced Luo Feng’s consciousness.
“Boom!”
The Tower of Void stood firm, the mental force dissipating instantly.
…
Time passed day by day.
The beautiful Insect Queen tried every method to attack Luo Feng, but her frail body could only rely on mental techniques. However… before Luo Feng, whose consciousness was incredibly powerful, whose will was firm, and who had cultivated the ‘Tower of Void,’ it was like a mayfly trying to shake a giant tree, utterly ineffective.
In fact, generally speaking, if all the insect warriors are killed, the Queen usually has little resistance ability.
The Queen’s strength lies in giving birth to countless, various insect warriors.
“Countdown, 10 days?”
Luo Feng looked down at the countdown on his wrist screen. With only a few minutes left until the ten days were up, he stepped onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle, drawing an arc directly flying towards the Insect Queen hiding in the distance, who had long dared not provoke Luo Feng. The seemingly frail Insect Queen looked at Luo Feng with a pair of azure eyes filled with a hint of sorrow.
Puff!
The golden illusion sword pierced her head.
“She’s still trying to charm,” Luo Feng mused. “The first level of the Insect Hive isn’t strong. It’s barely enough to deal with a general Stellar Level Nine warrior.”
…
After defeating all opponents on the seventh level of the first trial tower, he was teleported into the second trial tower. To Luo Feng’s shock, the opponents in this second trial tower were exactly the same as those in the first trial tower! The only difference was… their strength had surged!
“The same beast ‘Blood-Mane Mammoth,’ the second tower is so much stronger than the first! Then how terrifying would the third and fourth towers be? There are still the fifth, sixth, and seventh towers ahead! No wonder the Virtual Universe Company is confident that everyone will die,” Luo Feng was somewhat shocked.
This trial is very difficult!
…
The seven trial towers have the same goals and quantities, only their strength changes.
The first level consists of 10,000 beasts called ‘Blood-Mane Mammoths.’
The second tier is comprised of 10,000 demonic beasts known as “Nine-Headed Serpents.” The distinction between demonic beasts and ordinary beasts lies in… their heightened intellect. For instance, the creatures deemed monsters on Earth would actually qualify as demonic beasts.
The third level consists of 1,000 metal lifeforms called ‘Tarlok Warriors.’
The fourth level consists of 1,000 cosmic strange creatures called ‘Fei Hu,’ a very unique type of beast.
The fifth level consists of 100 mechanical race puppets!
The sixth level consists of 10 star beasts called ‘Cang.’
The seventh level is one Insect Hive!
The seven trial towers are arranged like this. However, it is obvious… the strength of the targets in the seven trial towers is continuously surging.
