Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Harvesting Devouring God Ant ’Eggs

Inside the natural array, Zhu Fei’s cultivation had reached a critical juncture.

Massive amounts of Spiritual Energy, like a stampede of ten thousand horses, surged forth from the Spirit Stones he had placed, eventually forming an inverted vortex of Spiritual Energy above his head, continuously rushing into his body.

At this point, another month had passed since the last time he engaged in alchemy.

During this month, Zhu Fei had used pills and a vast quantity of Spirit Stones to elevate his cultivation to the peak of the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment.

And now, he was undergoing the challenge of breaking through to the Seventh Level of Foundation Establishment, the so-called Late-stage Foundation Establishment barrier!

Waves of Spiritual Energy were absorbed by Zhu Fei, and with the profound cultivation foundation he had accumulated in his previous life, he could already faintly feel that barrier.

However, just at this moment, the previously raging flow of Spiritual Energy suddenly weakened, followed by a series of "snap, snap, snap" sounds of Spirit Stones shattering.

Zhu Fei immediately realized that the several hundred thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones he had prepared were clearly insufficient for breaking through to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

With this realization, he couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.

Biting the bullet, he decisively took out two thousand High Grade Spirit Stones from his storage ring, and laid out a new Spirit Gathering Array around himself.

With the addition of two thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, Zhu Fei’s cultivation once again became smooth.

Powered by the pure Spiritual Energy from the High Grade Spirit Stones, Zhu Fei hardly spent much effort, and after one day, he successfully stepped into the Seventh Level of Foundation Establishment, becoming a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It was also at this moment that Zhu Fei truly felt his own strength.

Spiritual Power True Qi roared within his body, and he felt as if he possessed endless energy. He believed that he now had the ability to truly battle even an Early Stage Golden Core cultivator.

Zhu Fei used the Dust Removal Skill to completely clean himself, changed into a blue robe, and after packing some things, he was finally ready to leave.

But before he left, there was one more thing he had to do, which was to head to the Wilderness Forest, the place where he had initially entered Wind Forest Valley.

He wanted to attempt to tame the Devouring God Ant Queen.

The confidence for this idea now came from his possession of the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire.

Devouring God Ants mostly feed on the souls of living beings, and one of the features of the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire is that it can incinerate souls and Primordial Spirits, which is the Devouring God Ants’ greatest natural enemy.

Without delay, Zhu Fei stepped out of the natural array and packed up the Array Flags and Plates he had set up there.

Wind Forest Valley did not transport him out, which allowed Zhu Fei’s previously somewhat anxious heart to finally settle down.

...

Several hours later, Zhu Fei returned to the Wilderness Forest.

He looked at the vast expanse of wilderness in front of him, his mind calculating the possible locations and timings where Devouring God Ants might appear.

However, what surprised Zhu Fei slightly was that after walking around this area for nearly two hours, he hadn’t discovered a single trace of Devouring God Ants.

This immediately made him feel that something was off.

Straightaway, he took out the map Jade Scroll, carefully examined it once more, and not having found anything substantial, he steeled his heart.

He summoned the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire in an instant.

The pale blue flames flickered and in the blink of an eye, plunged straight down into the ground!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ground suddenly erupted with a series of loud explosions.

As the dust and rocks tumbled, the originally eerily quiet Wilderness Forest finally showed some ’agitation’.

Suddenly, insects the size of a palm and brown all over burst out from the ground.

Yet as soon as those insects emerged, they were instantly engulfed by waves of pale blue flames.

Amidst the squeals of "squeak, squeak," the insects quickly turned into heaps of ashes.

Following the direction of the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire’s incursion, Zhu Fei’s Divine Sense also probed forward, and soon he saw a Devouring God Ant Queen in a natural cavern, white all over and about the size of an adult.

Only the Devouring God Ant Queen was stiff all over, and utterly devoid of breath now.

It appeared as though it had actually fallen.

Zhu Fei was immediately shocked.

He then suddenly recalled that when the Devouring God Ants were besieging him, their rapid retreat was probably related to the ant queen before him now.

Moreover, he also noticed that the number of Devouring God Ants here seemed to be much less than before, and they were all gasping for air, nowhere near as fierce as when they had attacked him.

Zhu Fei couldn’t help feeling somewhat disappointed.

His purpose in coming here was to try to subdue the Devouring God Ant Queen with the power of the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire.

But now, it was unclear what had happened to this Ant Queen, as it had just died like this, suddenly rendering Zhu Fei’s original plan obsolete.

Just as Zhu Fei was about to retract his Divine Sense and prepare to attempt to completely leave Wind Forest Valley using a Breakthrough Talisman he had obtained from Xiahou Rui.

His Divine Sense accidentally caught sight of a golden orb underneath the body of the Devouring God Ant Queen.

The golden orb was not large, about the size of a ping pong ball by his estimation.

But the vitality emanating from it made Zhu Fei pause.

His expression changed slightly, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his heart surged with wild joy!

Devouring God Ant Eggs! It was actually Devouring God Ant Eggs!

No wonder, no wonder the swarm of Devouring God Ants had retreated, no wonder the Ant Queen had fallen: all of this was because the Ant Queen had been in the middle of laying eggs.

If things were like this, then both the circumstances from before and the current situation could be explained.

Zhu Fei’s heart was full of excitement.

He was very clear about what an unhatched Devouring God Ant Egg meant.

It could be said without exaggeration that this Devouring God Ant Egg before him was just as valuable as the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire he had obtained before.

In the future, he only needed to nourish the ant egg with his own ’essence’ blood, and then when it hatched, it would instinctively recognize him as its master.

This was much easier than the arduous task of trying to subdue a fully matured Devouring God Ant Queen.

And Zhu Fei also believed that with the Devouring God Ant Queen sacrificing its own life and the ant eggs produced by many of its kin, it would surely be a king among the Devouring God Ants, with a limitless future ahead.

Zhu Fei did not dare to be careless.

Right now, while clearing the way with Divine Blue Netherworld Fire, he personally went underground.

He took out a Beast Taming Bag he had prepared in advance for attempting to subdue the Devouring God Ant Queen, which now just happened to be perfect for storing the Devouring God Ant Egg.

After all, from a certain perspective, the ant egg was a living thing, and therefore could not be stored in his storage ring; for the time being, he had to use this relatively low-level Beast Taming Bag to keep it.

Carefully, Zhu Fei put the golden ant egg into the Beast Taming Bag, and without waiting for the nearly frantic surrounding Devouring God Ants to pounce, he directly took out a Breakthrough Talisman from his body and without any hesitation crushed it.

The next moment, with a blur of light and shadow, Zhu Fei’s figure disappeared completely from the cavern.
