Chapter 5: Limit Force (Passive. Lv.80+15): After activating this ability, all combat-type units under your command will be granted level-based certification, and can gain combat experience through battle. When combat experience accumulates to 100%, the unit can undergo a comprehensive upgrade.
[The above bonuses can be obtained even by newly born Demon Insect Clan units, as this is a permanent enhancement effect anchored to the Demon Insect Clan's Main Hive.]
[The War Lord title is undergoing transformation…]
[Due to the transformation method, this title cannot be further upgraded through any means in the future (cannot undergo Limit Forging, etc.).]
…
The War Lord title floated ahead, wrapped in a mass of gold-black energy. After reading the prompts that appeared, Su Xiao felt that this title upgrade probably wouldn't be a loss. The core attributes of the War Lord title were essentially several enhancement effects, and now these effects had been transferred to his own main hive.
This meant that, going forward, any insect clan units bred from his hive would naturally receive these bonuses.
[Prompt: The War Lord title has been upgraded.]
[War Lord]
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Category: Rare · Title
Title Effect 1: Lord's Authority (Active), can open a Void Gate connecting to the Eternal Light World's Insect Clan Base Camp, summoning a large number of Demon Insect Clan units.
Prompt: The size of the Void Gate will be determined by the total of your Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Stamina attributes.
Prompt: The upper limit of summonable insect clan units will be determined by your Soul Strength (currently can summon up to 2 million Demon Insect Clan units).
Prompt: The maximum stay time of summoned Demon Insect Clan units in the current world will be determined by your Elemental Affinity (if summoning the maximum number of units, they can stay for up to 5 hours).
Warning: If within a mission world, this ability can be activated at most once per world progression. If a second activation is attempted, you will face strong rejection from the current world until you are expelled from it.
Title Effect 2: Designated Summon (Active), summon 1 to 3 specific insect clan individuals. Such individuals can stay in the Hunter's current world for 24 to 72 hours, depending on the strength of the summoned individuals.
Title Effect 3: Strongest Flame Dragon · Barbatos (Active), summon the Demon Flame Dragon · Barbatos. If there are no insect clan units of the same group in the world where Barbatos resides, it will enter a Frenzied State and receive bonuses from the entire Demon Insect Clan. The more insect clan units there are, the higher the bonus Barbatos receives in Frenzied State (maximum bonus at 10 million Demon Insect Clan units; exceeding this limit will not provide further bonuses to Barbatos).
Prompt: The cooldown for this ability is 30 natural days.
Prompt: After summoning Demon Flame Dragon · Barbatos, it can stay for a maximum of 1 hour before being teleported back to the Eternal Light World, and the Frenzied State will be lifted.
Description: Where the Demon Insect Clan passes, not a blade of grass grows, and all enemies are powerless.
Price: Unsellable.
…
Compared to the previous method of first establishing a hive and then slowly developing, the War Lord title's effects were much faster, and it made up for the fact that his main hive couldn't leave the Eternal Light World.
After putting away this title, Su Xiao prepared to complete the last task in this world: finding the [Origin Stone · World (Fragment)] located here. He took out the [Navigation Compass (Immortal Rank)], an item he had obtained long ago, which was about to serve its purpose.
[Navigation Compass]
Origin: Wind Sea Continent · White Hoof Port.
Quality: Immortal Rank.
Category: Single-use Equipment.
Usage Effect 1: After using this compass, its needle will point towards the object of the user's deepest desire.
Usage Effect 2: Can be used on a designated target to mark it. After use, it will lock onto the world where the marked target is located, and the Navigation Compass will transform into a key to enter that world.
Prompt: Entering a world this way has no main mission, and the entry time limit is 12 natural days.
Item Rating: 1498 points (Immortal Rank item rating is 1000~1500 points).
Description: This is a wondrous fate.
…
As Su Xiao activated the [Navigation Compass], its lid opened, and the needle inside spun rapidly, finally pointing north. Seeing this, Su Xiao left the mother nest and mounted Barbatos. Bubu Wang and Baha followed, also curious about where this [Origin Stone · World (Fragment)] was.
After a rapid flight, the Bone Island, where he had fought the Scarlet Monarch, appeared in Su Xiao's sight. The result from the [Navigation Compass] was that this world's [Origin Stone · World (Fragment)] was actually on Bone Island.
However, just as Barbatos flew over Bone Island, the needle on the [Navigation Compass] started spinning again, this time pointing east. Another flight brought them near the Erosion Rain Region, where the needle turned again, now pointing west.
Continuing according to the compass's direction, they reached the Wet Salt Zone, and the needle changed direction once more. Seeing this, Su Xiao closed the [Navigation Compass] in his hand. He knew where this world's [Origin Stone · World (Fragment)] was.
This item could be anywhere in this world. If searched for by conventional means, it would never be found, because this object was likely wrapped within this world's World Core. In other words, this world's World Consciousness possessed this [Origin Stone · World (Fragment)].
That was why the [Navigation Compass] was giving erratic directions. Although it had been activated, it hadn't been consumed, which was undoubtedly a good thing. If handled properly later, this item could still be used once.
Putting away the [Navigation Compass], Su Xiao sent a mental command to Demon Flame Dragon · Barbatos to return to the Bone Island where he had fought the Scarlet Monarch. He already knew how to obtain this world's [Origin Stone · World (Fragment)].
