第一千七百九十三章 铺天盖地的血火蚁

With these thoughts in mind, the red-haired elder believed his assumptions were correct and felt a touch of pity for Lin Xuan. After all, a Separation-Union Realm cultivator, even if not as glorious as the Cave Profound monster, was still someone who could shake the four directions with a single step. He was certainly a dominant figure. To end up in such a shabby state, even the elder felt somewhat pitiful for Lin Xuan.

"Friend, your strength may have been formidable before, but now you're nothing more than an infant spirit body. Who is stronger and who is weaker—don't you know? Why not be wise and leave this place? Give up this prime location, and I won't make things difficult for you."

As he spoke, the elder had a look of pity on his face, as if he were a kind and benevolent person.

"If Lin某 does not?" The infant spirit replied coldly.

"No,…" The elder's gaze suddenly changed, taking on a fierce expression. "If you dare to defy death, I will extract your soul and refine it."

The conversation ended here; continuing would be meaningless. In the end, who was stronger was decided by their fists.

Whoever had the bigger fist was the boss—survival of the fittest. Cultivators had always followed this rule for millions of years.

"Since you want to die, I will make it happen."

The elder did not regard the infant spirit as anything to be taken lightly. He reached out and retrieved a treasure item with a flick of his hand. However, Lin Xuan acted faster. Given his character, he had enough confidence in letting the second infant spirit face the enemy alone.

For fifty years, Lin Xuan had been using the Ten Thousand Souls Tower to breed and accelerate the growth of blood fire ants, never missing a day. It was time to show off the results.

Wild toxic insects were not confined creatures; they could change the very color of heaven and earth. If properly bred and fully matured, even these fierce primitive bugs did not fall short of powerful true spirits.

Of course, it wasn't possible for blood fire ants, but dealing with the current batch was within Lin Xuan's grasp.

Without a word, he raised his right hand and shot out a spell. The Ten Thousand Souls Tower shook, emitting a brilliant light. The first layer opened, revealing a blinding white light.

The white light transformed into a vortex, and a blood-red insect cloud emerged from it.

Upon closer inspection, the insect cloud covered the sky, composed of tiny flying insects about the size of fingernails, like a crimson wave rushing towards the opponent.

"What is this…?"

The elder was shocked. The infant spirit cultivators who had been mocking Lin Xuan's worthless treasure were also stunned. As soon as the Ten Thousand Souls Tower opened, overwhelming pressure surged forth. This wasn't some trash treasure; they had simply underestimated their own eyes.

Although they couldn't be sure what the tower was, such a high-grade treasure item was something they had never encountered before.

The shock continued, and this change was too unexpected. They were momentarily flustered, not knowing how to respond when the blood fire ants surged out.

From afar, it seemed like only one insect cloud, but its momentum was so powerful that it almost blocked half of the sky.

"Insect cultivator!"

All the cultivators muttered under their breaths, realizing the danger. In the cultivation world, breeding strange insects was difficult, yet their power could be immense. They didn't recognize these insects, but their sheer numbers chilled them to the bone.

Regret…..

They had been so careless in facing a Separation-Union Realm monster. How could they have been so reckless?

Everyone felt regretful, except for the red-haired elder who reacted quickly. The treasure item he revealed was peculiar in shape—a wheel-like object with sharp points. He pointed it forward, and a brilliant light surged into the insect cloud.

The blood fire ants, though individually weak, were scattered and killed. However, the elder did not show any joy.

There were just too many of them!

Although they didn't count, Lin Xuan estimated that there were over a million insects before his eyes. The white light from the tower had not closed; more insects continued to pour out.

How many monsters was the other side raising?

The elder felt cold. He knew well how many locusts it took to kill an elephant. Just looking at the sky, the sheer number gave him a sense of powerlessness.

Other cultivators were in similar states, each summoning their treasures. Some used powerful spells. One bald man was particularly fierce; after reciting some incantations, he sent out a wind dragon that crashed into the ant swarm, causing thousands of blood fire ants to be crushed. A large hole over ten meters wide appeared.

The cultivators were elated. These strange insects weren't as difficult to handle as they thought. However, their expressions changed soon after; the buzzing sound filled their ears, and in just a few breaths, the large hole was filled with new insects.

The number of insects in the sky did not decrease but continued to increase.

"Is this real? Who raises so many insects?"

The cultivators couldn't help but curse loudly. However, their voices were drowned out by the buzzing of the blood fire ants.

Generally, ordinary cultivators could not raise such insects, but Lin Xuan had conditions.

Ten Thousand Souls Tower!

This auxiliary treasure played a significant role. It could nourish and accelerate the growth of strange insects. All Lin Xuan needed to do was feed the queen ant and inject some earth essence into common stones for newborn blood fire ants to consume before throwing them into the Ten Thousand Souls Tower.

The queen ant had already recognized him, so he didn't need to worry about the remaining larvae; they could be controlled directly.

Raising them was incredibly easy. It required no effort at all.

Blood fire ants were terrifying in their reproduction. After fifty years of breeding, Lin Xuan had over a hundred queen ants, and the insect swarm reached a frightening number of millions.

Back then, with his powers, facing the formidable wave formed by silver fish birds, he could only run away. Over a million blood fire ants were similarly fearsome. Now, Lin Xuan was merely releasing a small portion of the insects.

"Go!"

Although it was easy to obtain blood fire ants, Lin Xuan did not stand idly by. He pointed his finger at the enemy.

Driven by their master's command, the insect cloud buzzed louder and surged forward towards the opponent.

The scene could not be described in words. A single locust wasn't terrifying, but a locust plague could change heaven and earth.

The insect cloud before them was even more terrifying—its numbers and power far exceeded that of locusts. Even as a Separation-Union Realm cultivator, the red-haired elder dared not face it directly; he retreated backward.
