# Chapter 6: Limit Force (Passive.Lv.80+15)...

Six types of enhancement buffs were applied to the Demon Beasts, causing their strength to skyrocket, all reaching the Elite Demon Beast level.

But this wasn't the strongest. The strongest were the Titan Beasts enhanced by the War Lord title. Each Demon Flame Dragon cost 600 points of Bio Energy to cultivate, while each Titan Beast required 3,000. The cost of cultivation directly reflected the strength of combat power.

After reserving 200,000 Bio Energy for the initial consumption of constructing Living Missiles once battle began, the remaining Bio Energy was all used to cultivate Titan Beasts.

After the Insect Race reached Lv.96, the production speed of Demon Beasts and Demon Flame Dragons overflowed. Only the Titan Beasts had a maximum output of 30 per hour. Over the few hours waiting for the Deep Sea Evil Spirits to arrive, a total of 57 Titan Beasts were cultivated. These Titan Beasts were all gathered around the Mother Nest, forming the core defense.

At this moment, in front of the Mother Nest, there was one Titan Beast. The lower half of this Titan Beast was supported by numerous arthropod legs, while the upper half was a massive plasma sac. Overall, it appeared round, with a jet nozzle at the top. Inside was plasma, and outside was a highly ductile biological structure. When attacking, the plasma sac would expand, then use contraction force to blast out a plasma cannon.

The Titan Beast's plasma cannon fired approximately once every 5 minutes. This seemed like a slow rate of fire, but this was a killing move used against ultra-large enemies.

Besides the plasma cannon, the Titan Beast had numerous biological tentacles around its body. At the tips of these cable-like tentacles were electric particle energy storage organs, capable of firing plasma missiles. Each Titan Beast had over a thousand such tentacles, each dozens of meters long.

This giant creature was a full hundred meters tall, serving as the core guardian of the Mother Nest. At critical moments, the Titan Beast could fire an electromagnetic shock net upward, killing all enemies daring to approach the Mother Nest.

Plasma missiles, plasma cannons, and electromagnetic shock nets—all three attack modes were excellent. Additionally, the Titan Beast was a mobile unit, even if its movement speed was slow.

If the attack strength of the Insect Race were quantified, it would be:

Demon Beast Tail Blade: Attack Strength 6~7.
Brutal Turret·Living Missile: Attack Strength 10~12 per shot.
Demon Flame Dragon·Dragonflame: Attack Strength 30~35 (sustained type, ultra-multi-hit attack).
Titan Beast·Plasma Missile: Attack Strength 35~37.
Titan Beast·Plasma Cannon: Attack Strength 100~120.
Titan Beast·Electromagnetic Shock Net: Attack Strength 300.
Titan Beast·Ultimate Combination Skill·Plasma Cannon Rain: Attack Strength 450~500.

If talking about overall attack power, the Demon Flame Dragon was definitely the strongest. The initial attack strength of Dragonflame was 30~35. This attack wasn't just multi-hit; it would also increase to over 40 attack strength once the enemy's external defenses were burned through.

However, in this defense of the Base Camp, the Demon Flame Dragons would perform extremely poorly, to the point of being completely annihilated by the Deep Sea Evil Spirits shortly after battle began. The reason for this was to hide the combat power of the Demon Flame Dragons.

Su Xiao would rather this Mother Nest be overrun by the Deep Sea Evil Spirits than see the Deep Sea Evil Spirits, fearing the strength of the Demon Flame Dragons, dare not launch a large-scale attack. That would be a dead end.

If the current stage was a tower defense game, then after accumulating enough Bio Energy and Evolution Points, all resources would be used to cultivate Demon Flame Dragons, then sweep through the Wild Growth Land.

Su Xiao looked at the Insect Race map before him. At that moment, the massive number of red dots on the map representing the Deep Sea Evil Spirits suddenly accelerated. The journey that should have taken at least another hour was crossed by the Deep Sea Evil Spirit clan in just a few seconds.

Boom!

A loud crash came from the right. Biological tissue fluid from the Insect Nest splattered. An ultra-giant bone spike pierced through layer after layer of the Insect Nest's defenses, penetrating into the Nest Chamber. The metallic-lustered tip of the bone spike was less than three meters from Su Xiao. He could clearly sense the sinister aura on it.

Looking down from above at this moment, one would see a trail left by high-pressure penetration lingering between the Deep Sea Evil Spirit clan and the Mother Nest. Along the path, multiple Demon Flame Dragons were blasted into blood mist, gradually scattering down. The spatial cracks along the way were even more shocking.

Boom!!

The ultra-giant sinister bone spike exploded. The Mother Nest was instantly blown apart by one-fifth. The Mother Nest, with a total of 18 million Health Points, was instantly reduced to 16 million Health Points. Broken pieces of the Insect Nest scattered everywhere. Numerous Worker Scorpions scurried to the damaged areas of the Insect Nest, repairing it at maximum speed.

"Roar!!"

The Deep Sea Evil Spirit Leader, with golden parasitic threads hanging from its entire body, let out a roar in the sky. A shockwave spread, sweeping over all Deep Sea Evil Spirits, granting them some kind of buff.

All Deep Sea Evil Spirits charged toward the Mother Nest. Those that had been swimming in the air transformed into dozens-of-meters-long spikes, dragging their black parasitic threads as they attacked the Mother Nest.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All Brutal Turrets fired at full power. Living Missiles trailing flames blasted toward the approaching Deep Sea Evil Spirits. Any Deep Sea Evil Spirit hit by a Living Missile was either killed or severely injured. But the number of Deep Sea Evil Spirits was too great, endless beyond measure.

Looking up at the sky, it was pitch black. This wasn't dark clouds—it was all Deep Sea Evil Spirits. They were so numerous they blotted out the sky.

The kilometer-long Deep Sea Evil Spirit Leader swam to the highest point. Many hundred-meter-long Elite Deep Sea Evil Spirits with golden lines on their bodies guarded its surroundings. Under the mental command of the Deep Sea Evil Spirit Leader, all Deep Sea Evil Spirits charged toward the Insect Race Mother Nest below. Not only that, ultra-giant bone spikes and parasitic threads so dense they formed a dark curtain all poured down toward the ground.

A Titan Beast in front of the Mother Nest had already accumulated enough plasma. With a roar, a shockwave formed from plasma shot upward—the Electromagnetic Shock Net.

With a crackling sound, everything above was temporarily cleared. Many Deep Sea Evil Spirit fragments fell, absorbed by the fungal carpet below.

Despite such a powerful attack being broken through, the Deep Sea Evil Spirit clan did not retreat. On the contrary, this angered them. The Deep Sea Evil Spirits above transformed like a falling curtain of water, forming a torrent dozens of kilometers thick, charging toward the Mother Nest.

Living Missiles flew upward one after another. The explosions were so numerous they couldn't be counted. Plasma missiles also fired, slowing the descent of the Deep Sea Evil Spirit torrent pillar. This wasn't because they had stopped the torrent pillar, but because the speed of eliminating Deep Sea Evil Spirits was fast enough to continuously reduce the number pouring down.

Even so, the Deep Sea Evil Spirits were getting closer and closer to the Mother Nest, from tens of thousands of meters down to a few thousand meters. Once the Mother Nest was swallowed by this Deep Sea Evil Spirit torrent, they would be defeated.

The situation was extremely dangerous. On the other hand, the fragments of Deep Sea Evil Spirits being shattered and falling were also countless. The fungal carpet operated at full power, and the Bio Energy stored in their Mother Nest began to skyrocket.

The Deep Sea Evil Spirits above got closer and closer to the Mother Nest. Meanwhile, on the fungal carpet of their Base Camp, Brutal Turrets rose from the ground one after another. Protected by Demon Beasts, Worker Scorpions built Brutal Turrets at full speed. As soon as a Brutal Turret was built, it immediately connected to the Bio Energy supply, generating and firing Living Missiles.

Compared to the spectacular sight of the Deep Sea Evil Spirits pouring down, the Brutal Turrets rising one after another in their Base Camp were equally impressive. The number of Brutal Turrets skyrocketed from the initial 1,350, first reaching 2,000, then 2,500, until finally approaching 5,000. The Living Wall couldn't accommodate so many Brutal Turrets, so they were built in the open spaces of the Base Camp, until there was no area left to construct more Brutal Turrets.

Compared to the Brutal Turrets and Titan Beasts, the performance of the Demon Flame Dragons was simply miserable. Shortly after battle began, they were completely annihilated by the Deep Sea Evil Spirits. But strangely, only a very few Demon Flame Dragons were completely devoured by the Deep Sea Evil Spirits. More were covered in bite marks and puncture wounds, but they still broke through the encirclement with Dragonflame, eventually landing on the fungal carpet of the Base Camp and dying from severe injuries.

This was naturally the Demon Flame Dragons hiding their strength. If over 10,000 Demon Flame Dragons had fought at full power, the Deep Sea Evil Spirits at this scale might not have been able to break through the sky-covering Dragonflame.

A total of over 5,000 Brutal Turrets, plus 90 Titan Beasts, managed to hold against the torrent pillar formed by the massive number of Deep Sea Evil Spirits. Moreover, they gradually thinned out the sky-covering Deep Sea Evil Spirits above, until finally, patches of sky could be seen between them.

In just the first hour, they had gained over 4 million Bio Energy. Previously, they had accumulated for so many days through Silver Queen, but had only mined out a few million Bio Energy.

The clash between the Demon Insect Race and the Deep Sea Evil Spirit clan never stopped. The combat power displayed by the Deep Sea Evil Spirits at this moment was certainly not their full strength. Additionally, absorbing the corpse fragments of Deep Sea Evil Spirits yielded no Soul Energy at all—meaning no Evolution Points could be gained by killing Deep Sea Evil Spirits. This was not good news.

While the Demon Insect Race and the Deep Sea Evil Spirit clan were locked in fierce battle, underground in the Insect Nest, Silver Queen was watching the scene above through her subordinate Insect Race.

From her stunned expression, she had apparently never seen an Insect Race with such methods. Not only that, the scene before her made Silver Queen doubt herself, thinking things like, "Am I really an Insect Race?" and "Is this really an Insect Race?"

Inside the Mother Nest above, even in the Nest Chamber, Su Xiao could still hear the continuous booming sounds. Jila was floating in mid-air, with mental threads extending from her body to convey various commands to her Insect Race.

Several hundred meters above the Insect Nest, eerie roars and explosions spread. The Deep Sea Evil Spirits that had been pouring down and continuously approaching the Insect Nest were suppressed by the fierce attacks from below.

The death rate of Deep Sea Evil Spirits began to exceed the rate at which they poured down from above. This caused a giant hand formed by explosions to continuously push the Deep Sea Evil Spirit torrent upward.

No matter how one looked at it, the Demon Insect Race was gradually gaining the advantage. But at that moment, the ground began to tremble. A pale tide surged from the horizon. Looking closely, this was not water waves, but an endless tide of Star Parasite Crabs rushing in.

As an old enemy of the Law Destruction Faction, upon learning that the Demon Insect Race was the summon of a Law Destroyer, the Star Parasite Crabs decisively attacked. As for how the Star Parasite Crabs learned this news, it was either from members of the Dark Light Temple or surviving members of the Scarlet Faction.

In such situations, the most suspicious was Shenfu. But this time, they had to deal with the Scarlet Monarch together, so Shenfu had no motive for such an action.

The tide of Star Parasite Crabs surging from the horizon reached the high wall of the Base Camp in just over ten seconds. Living Missiles blasted at them, but the explosions were like mud entering the sea—the explosion energy was absorbed by the shells of the Star Parasite Crabs. Not only that, the Star Parasite Crab tide used the absorbed kinetic energy as forward momentum, crashing through the high wall and flooding into the Base Camp.

This was the troublesome nature of Star Parasite Crabs. Kinetic energy hitting them would be absorbed. Moreover, wherever the Star Parasite Crabs passed, whether fungal carpet or Brutal Turrets, everything was devoured. Even the Demon Beasts they submerged were consumed in a short time.

Fortunately, the 300,000 Demon Beasts in the Base Camp all met the Star Parasite Crabs head-on, sweeping with their tail blades. Unexpectedly, the Star Parasite Crabs, which were highly resistant to explosive impacts, had relatively weak resistance to physical attacks.

Even so, the invasion speed of the Star Parasite Crabs only slowed down. The Star Parasite Crabs surging from all directions caused the surrounding high walls and over a thousand Brutal Turrets to be devoured. Their firepower sharply decreased, and the Deep Sea Evil Spirits that had just been pushed back pressed down again.

Boom, boom, boom~

The earth trembled. Figures a thousand meters tall strode from afar. These were giant tree-men covered in vines, over a thousand meters tall. They had no heads, with a single eye at the position of their torso. Their massive size made the earth tremble with every step they took.

Even more terrifying was that there were at least tens of thousands of these giant tree-men approaching from afar. These were the Wild Growth Clan.

"Ooo~!!"

A Wild Growth Clan member let out a howl. The sound was deep and heavy, immediately evoking fear from ancient times.

With a sizzling sound, a dark green ray shot from the single eye at the center of a Wild Growth Clan member's chest. It first sprayed at its feet. As the dark green light splashed, viscous filth also splattered. Then, this several-meter-thick ray swept forward. With another sizzling sound, all Demon Beasts along its path were infected by the dark green energy. Plant roots and sprouts burst from their bodies. Roaring, they charged toward their own Mother Nest or other Demon Beasts.

A ray capable of infecting even the Insect Race—this showed the power of the Wild Growth Clan. Not only that, the Demon Beasts they assimilated, when biting other Demon Beasts, would also transmit the dark green energy to them.

This situation caused the dark green energy to rapidly spread among the Demon Beasts. More and more Demon Beasts suddenly turned traitor, causing their defensive line to retreat step by step. Above were Deep Sea Evil Spirits, around them was the Star Parasite Crab tide, and directly ahead was the frontal assault of the Wild Growth Clan. This caused the defense of their Base Camp to nearly collapse in a short time. The explosion flames of Living Missiles and plasma missiles, along with the glow of plasma, were gradually overwhelmed by the enemy.

Facing Deep Sea Evil Spirits, Star Parasite Crabs, and the Wild Growth Clan simultaneously was undoubtedly the most dangerous situation. But correspondingly, it was also the fastest time to gain Bio Energy.

Having the Demon Flame Dragons hide their strength and be annihilated by the Deep Sea Evil Spirits made the Star Parasite Crabs and Wild Growth Clan feel that this Demon Insect Race was nothing special. They couldn't be allowed any development opportunity and must be wiped out in one go.

Inside the Nest Chamber, Su Xiao was checking the Mother Nest's data. Currently, there was a total of 15.6 million Bio Energy, enough to cultivate 26,000 Demon Flame Dragons. Even if they couldn't hold the Mother Nest this time, as long as they took the Mother Nest's Bio Energy storage device before leaving with Jila, they would still profit. Moreover, the Mother Nest might not necessarily fall.

Cultivating Demon Flame Dragons now was already too late. Even with the Mother Nest's current cultivation effect, plus the dozens of egg-laying Insect Race buildings in the Base Camp, cultivating 20,000 Demon Flame Dragons would take nearly three hours. The only good news at this moment was that the number of Titan Beasts had exceeded 100, enough to form a Plasma Cannon Rain.

Su Xiao took an item from his storage space. This was [Holy Angel·Fake].

[Holy Angel·Fake]
Category: Eighth Rank Item.
Effect: After use, summons Holy Angel·Fake, releasing a large-scale healing ability, lasting 25 seconds.
Note: While Holy Angel·Fake exists, all targets within a 900-meter diameter below her will receive multiple buff effects.
Selling Price: 60 Diamond Honor Medals.

Although this item was only Eighth Rank, it was from the Honor Shop. Su Xiao used it. A Holy Angel radiating dazzling golden light appeared above the Insect Nest. Golden light shone down, rapidly restoring the health of all Titan Beasts below and granting them multiple buff effects.

The Holy Angel quickly disappeared, but the buff states it granted would last over an hour. This wasn't all. Su Xiao immediately activated the second effect of War Lord.

"Title Effect 2: Burning Anger (Active). All friendly combat units enter an enraged state, burning 1% of maximum Health per second, gaining 45% overall damage increase.
Note: This ability can last up to 50 seconds. If current Health drops below 10%, this ability will automatically deactivate."

The health of all Titan Beasts visibly decreased, but their plasma sacs became exceptionally active, with arcs of electricity appearing on their surfaces.

Boom~

A plasma sphere a hundred meters in diameter shot straight upward. As it flew, the plasma sphere rapidly expanded. When its diameter reached several hundred meters, it suddenly split apart, turning into a rain of plasma like arrows or spears, too numerous to count.

With a crashing sound, the Plasma Cannon Rain spread in a fan shape, affecting the sky above and the surrounding ground. This level of attack cleared a large area of Deep Sea Evil Spirits above. Many Star Parasite Crabs surging from the surroundings were also blasted into fragments. With plasma splashing, a Wild Growth Clan member fell.

As soon as this Wild Growth Clan member fell, its body burst apart with a splat. A kilometer-tall Wild Growth Clan member transformed into over a dozen hundred-meter-tall Wild Growth Clan members.

One of the hundred-meter-tall Wild Growth Clan members was shattered again, turning into hundreds of three-meter-tall Wild Growth Clan members. This death-splitting process would continue until they became the size of tree seeds, falling to the ground, quickly absorbing nutrients, turning into towering trees, then re-forming into kilometer-tall Wild Growth Clan members.

Each wave of Plasma Cannon Rain cleared a large area of approaching enemies. But the numbers of Deep Sea Evil Spirits, Star Parasite Crabs, and Wild Growth Clan seemed endless. The most dangerous moment was when a Wild Growth Clan member had jumped onto the Mother Nest, using its single eye's dark green ray to spray fiercely at the Mother Nest, nearly burning a hole straight through it.

Each wave of Plasma Cannon Rain gave them a brief respite. At this point, there could be no holding back. With such abundant Bio Energy, they naturally used all their strength to cultivate Demon Flame Dragons.

When the first batch of Demon Flame Dragons was cultivated, they no longer restrained the power of their Dragonflame. Under the enhancement of War Lord, the black Dragonflame was further elevated, turning dark blue—black on the outside, with a scorching azure at the center.

Whoosh!!

Streams of Dragonflame poured toward the sky and surroundings. The Star Parasite Crabs had met their nemesis, crackling as they were burned. Wherever the Dragonflame passed, under the effects of powerful impact and high temperature, the Star Parasite Crabs were burned to a glowing red, struggled a few times, then stopped moving.

Among the enhancements from War Lord, the one that boosted the Demon Flame Dragons the most was not the +50 to all attributes, but the "Blood·Soul Force." The Demon Flame Dragons' Dragonflame could actually trigger the control effect of "Blood·Soul Force."

"Blood·Soul Force (Passive.Lv.70+15): Gain Soul Burning Force. Attacks deal 180 points of True Damage, with a 2~3% chance of causing the enemy to experience body numbness, stiffness, and similar states."

Combined with the Dragonflame being an ultra-multi-hit burning attack, the probability of triggering "Blood·Soul Force" was naturally higher. Once an enemy triggered "Blood·Soul Force," they were doomed to die under the Dragonflame.

Demon Flame Dragon·Barbatos spread its wings and flew up. It spat out platinum-white Dragonflame. Wherever the Dragonflame passed, Deep Sea Evil Spirits burned to charcoal fell one after another. The high temperature scorched the space, covering it with cracks. Barbatos folded its dragon wings, rotated its body 360 degrees, then spread its wings, flinging off all the Star Parasite Crabs on its body.

Barbatos dove down, spraying platinum-white Dragonflame at a kilometer-tall Wild Growth Clan member until its entire body was burned to charcoal. Then, stepping on the giant charcoal that was the Wild Growth Clan member with its dragon claws, it raised its head and let out a dragon roar.

"Roar!!"

With Barbatos's roar, Demon Flame Dragons flew in the sky, continuously spraying Dragonflame. Plasma missiles fired without pause. Occasionally, a beam formed by a plasma cannon shot toward the sky. Countless Living Missiles flew in tracking mode, hitting various enemies.

At this moment, over a dozen kilometers from the combat zone, Lightning Mage·Aige, Witch·Liliya, and Nightmare Ghost·Kaiyin were watching this spectacular scene. Their original thought was that since it was time to reap benefits, they would take the risk to come to the Wild Growth Land and take a look.

The scene of the Demon Insect Race in a melee with three World-Destroying level clans made Aige, Liliya, and Kaiyin, who witnessed it all, look at each other. Although none of them spoke, they tacitly turned and left. The reason was that as Ninth Rank peak combatants, witnessing this scene left them feeling confused. Just then, all three received an announcement simultaneously.

[Announcement (Void Tree): Due to multi-faction warfare in this world, all Contractors are prohibited from entering the Wild Growth Land area.]

Inside the Mother Nest, Su Xiao didn't pay attention to this announcement. He closed it and began considering subsequent strategies.

Contrary to expectations, because Jila had accumulated a rich foundation in the Wind Sea Continent, their Insect Race actually held up in this one-versus-three confrontation. Although they couldn't hold out for long—the Mother Nest's health was only over 5 million, and it was estimated that it would be blown up in a few more hours.

Su Xiao checked the current number of Demon Flame Dragons. There were 15,800. This number of Demon Flame Dragons, combined with 150 Titan Beasts and over 6,000 Brutal Turrets, could hold against enemies from all directions, but couldn't guarantee the Mother Nest wouldn't be attacked. The healing speed of the Mother Nest's health plus the repair speed of Worker Scorpions couldn't keep up with the losses. If this continued, the Mother Nest being blown up was inevitable.

Once the Mother Nest was blown up, the cultivation of Demon Flame Dragons and other Insect Race units would immediately stop. At that point, they would have only one outcome: defeat.

Watching the gradually declining health of the Mother Nest, Su Xiao decided to hold out a little longer. Just one hour, to let the number of Demon Flame Dragons reach over 23,000, and the situation might turn around.

Time passed minute by minute. When 60 minutes had passed, Su Xiao closed the pocket watch in his hand, tossed it to Amu, and after having Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha protect Jila, he walked out of the Insect Nest alone.

Leaving the Insect Nest, Su Xiao followed the steps formed by Demon Beasts to the top of the Insect Nest. After leaping, Demon Flame Dragon·Barbatos swooped by, catching him on its back.

While riding Barbatos, Su Xiao discovered that he could use Barbatos as a medium to directly issue mental commands to all Demon Flame Dragons. This was the benefit of having a leader-level unit.

He controlled Barbatos to fly vertically upward, followed by 20,000 Demon Flame Dragons. Only over 3,000 Demon Flame Dragons were left to guard the base.

A massive Void Wormhole appeared. Barbatos and the many Demon Flame Dragons charged into it. The scene before Su Xiao instantly changed, along with his sense of direction. Barbatos, which had been flying upward, changed to diving downward.

This was Jila's "Void Gate" ability. It was used once yesterday and could be used again today. The location this "Void Gate" opened to was the Sand Sea.

Su Xiao specified a direction. Barbatos led all Demon Flame Dragons, charging in that direction. This was the location detected by the Irritable Little Elf·Diagu—the lair of the Deep Sea Evil Spirits. To deal with the Deep Sea Evil Spirits first, they naturally needed to be prepared.

Including Barbatos, 20,000 Demon Flame Dragons simultaneously sprayed Dragonflame toward the Sand Sea below. The Dragonflame converged into platinum-white. With a sizzling sound, the seawater it contacted was instantly evaporated.

A Dragonflame pillar several kilometers wide broke through the seawater, scorching the seabed below. The Deep Sea Evil Spirits rushing out from the giant holes in the seabed were instantly evaporated. Finally, under the scorching of the Dragonflame, a deformed cylindrical pillar at the very bottom of the Sand Sea was revealed. This object looked like it had ugly giant eggs attached to it, emitting a pulse that made one's heart ache.

However, under the spread of the Dragonflame, this ugly cylindrical pillar crackled as it was scorched. Almost simultaneously, the Deep Sea Evil Spirit Leader also rushed out from the "Void Gate," frantically pouncing toward the Demon Flame Dragons.

Slap!!

The ugly cylindrical pillar shattered. This was the core of all Deep Sea Evil Spirits. Originally, this object could continuously regenerate as long as there was source energy inside. But now, after being trapped in the Eternal Light World for so many years, the source energy inside had long dried up.

The charging Deep Sea Evil Spirit Leader came to an abrupt halt. All the Deep Sea Evil Spirits behind it began to disintegrate into fragments of flesh, scattering down. The multiple vertical pupils of the Deep Sea Evil Spirit Leader widened. Besides ferocity and unwillingness, there were no other emotions. Finally, the Deep Sea Evil Spirit Leader also disintegrated into scattered flesh.

As the ugly cylindrical pillar shattered, Su Xiao, standing on the dragon's back, saw a millstone-sized circular crystal fall. He issued a mental command for all Demon Flame Dragons to stop spraying Dragonflame, then released a Realm Severing Thread to pull the circular crystal back, catching it with one hand.

This object contained a massive amount of Life Energy and Soul Energy. He had been puzzled earlier about why the fungal carpet absorbing Deep Sea Evil Spirits couldn't gain Evolution Points. It turned out that the Soul Energy of the Deep Sea Evil Spirits was all concentrated inside this.

All Demon Flame Dragons returned through the Void Gate, going back to the Base Camp, and closed it.

At this moment, their Base Camp, though devastated, had the Star Parasite Crabs and Wild Growth Clan already retreating. The reason was that after the Deep Sea Evil Spirits were eliminated, the health recovery speed of the Insect Race Mother Nest had vaguely surpassed the rate of decline. The enemy couldn't capture the Insect Race's Mother Nest in a short time, so the best method was to retreat, otherwise, it would only make the Insect Race stronger.

Su Xiao didn't immediately pursue. After Demon Flame Dragon·Barbatos landed, he sat cross-legged on the dragon's back in meditation. Their Mother Nest began using all its strength to cultivate Demon Flame Dragons.

After the Mother Nest absorbed the giant crystal left by the Deep Sea Evil Spirit clan, the Bio Energy gained wasn't much, but the existing Evolution Points skyrocketed. Judging by this progress, it would increase by at least several hundred points.

Three hours later, when the Mother Nest's Bio Energy was only 500,000 points, the number of their Demon Flame Dragons reached an astonishing 53,680. This was the benefit of activating base defense mode—as long as you weren't destroyed, you could rise at the fastest speed.

Baha landed on Su Xiao's shoulder. Bubu Wang also jumped onto the dragon's back. Demon Flame Dragon·Barbatos took off. Su Xiao brought 50,000 Demon Flame Dragons, and after confirming that their number of Demon Beasts was sufficient to trigger all effects of the War Lord title, he issued a mental command. 50,000 Demon Flame Dragons flew toward the direction of the Wild Growth Clan.

Half an hour later, the lair of the Wild Growth Clan came into Su Xiao's view. It was a giant tree tens of thousands of meters tall. The combat method was simple and brutal—all Demon Flame Dragons sprayed Dragonflame at the Wild Growth Clan's lair.

Whoosh!!

Platinum-white Dragonflame poured down. The terrifying high temperature dyed the sky a burning red. It felt as if the entire sky was burning.

The Wild Growth Clan was indeed strong, but the Dragonflame of the Demon Flame Dragons was Su Xiao's ultimate method for dealing with the World Borer. Therefore, after hundreds of thousands of kilometer-tall Wild Growth Clan members were all burned to ashes, the Dragonflame sprayed onto the dark green giant tree. This tens-of-thousands-of-meters-tall giant tree was finally burned until it fell with a crash.

"Woof."

Bubu Wang on the dragon's back barked, meaning it had seen the giant tree had a core.

Su Xiao left behind a hundred Demon Flame Dragons, letting Bubu Wang and Baha handle this place. He then controlled Barbatos to head toward the direction of the Star Parasite Crab lair. What needed to be done next was simple—except for temporarily not dealing with the World Borer, sweep through the entire Wild Growth Land.
