Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

This was an attempt to directly behead the enemy.

Elder Jiu Yin was a top expert in the Nine Insect Gang, with a status almost equal to that of Vice City Lord Bai. Killing Elder Jiu Yin would definitely deal a heavy blow to the Nine Insect Gang.

“Hmph, Bai Xuezhu, you think you can kill me?”

Elder Jiu Yin wore a look of disdain.

In terms of seniority, Elder Jiu Yin was even older than the current Gang

Leader.

There was no need to mention his strength and prowess, both top-notch.

Vice City Lord Bai didn’t bother with idle talk, his objective was clear, his sword pointed straight at Elder Jiu Yin.

Two Innate Realm level guards stepped forward to block, but Vice City Lord Bai slew them with a single sword strike.

Such terrifying strength was strong enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

If Qin Niu had witnessed Vice City Lord Bai’s strength, he probably would have redefined the Spirit Qi Realm. Such a realm was simply incomparable to the Innate Realm.

Within the Innate Realm, one has only just begun to grasp a thread of the true path to immortality, able to externalize the power within one’s body.

Not only can it be used to drive weapons, displaying Blade Qi and Sword Qi, but it also allows one to directly stimulate talismans with their power, without the need to bite their fingertips and use their own blood to activate the talismans.

Beyond that, it also allows one to externalize power to heal others, or like Qin

Niu, to use the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique to quickly rejuvenate plants.

One could also channel power into special armors and shields to form a Qi Armor, protecting the entire body.

For instance, Qin Niu’s King Pig Leather Armor could be powered by Qi, forming a Qi Armor.

This is equivalent to having an additional layer of protection, greatly enhancing the armor’s defensive capabilities.

But the Spirit Qi Realm is a completely different and advanced realm.

Those in the Innate Realm have only half-stepped through the Immortal Gate, but those in the Spirit Qi Realm are as if most of their body has entered through the gate.

They can even touch the threshold of the methods of the immortals.

They are no longer mortals in the true sense of the word.

Instead, they are akin to having the identity of a half Immortal Master.

After instantly killing two overconfident Innate Realm experts, Bai Xuezhu s target remained unchanged, pointed directly at Elder Jiu Yin.

Elder Jiu Yin let out a cold laugh, and a shadow shot out at an astonishing speed, aiming for Bai Xuezhu. The shadow was not large, about the size of an ordinary person’s palm.

Not only was it extremely fast, but it was also fearless.

It plunged directly into the range encased by Bai Xuezhu’s sword.

In an instant, the shadow was slashed into dozens of pieces. But they still ferociously continued their assault on Bai Xuezhu.

“Lord Bai, be careful, this is the king of the Taiyin Yaoyao, likely possessing special abilities.”

Master He Shan shouted a warning while not remaining idle.

He too released his own life-bound insect.

It was a giant Golden Armored Centipede. Unlike the over a thousand ordinary

Grade Four Golden Armored Centipedes he had,

this one had an eye growing on its abdomen.

Its body was also much larger than the Grade Four ones, at least over a foot long, with grey-black gas swirling around its body.

Upon its arrival, it emitted a sizzling strange cry.

It was said in legends that there were centipedes of unusual kinds which, upon cultivating to a certain level, would transform into humanoid forms with many strange eyes on their torsos capable of shooting golden light to kill their enemies.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord in the ‘Journey to the West’ was a prime example.

Although Master He Shan’s centipede had only one eye on its abdomen, it was already exceptionally extraordinary.

Its capabilities were definitely far superior to those of ordinary Golden Armored Centipedes.

Indeed, many Insect Masters cultivated Golden Armored Centipedes, but those who could raise an exceptional variant were few and far between.

Ordinary Golden Armored Centipedes don’t amount to much in the eyes of a true master.

For example, the spoiled female Insect Master who bought a Green Giant Hornet from Qin Niu once brandished a Golden Armored Centipede in an attempt to intimidate Old Master Huang, only to have it dismissed with complete disdain.

Master He Shan’s centipede was of a rare breed, and its abilities were unknown.

“Go, bite that old Jiu Yin to death for me,” he ordered.

The fact that Master He Shan was now deploying his lifebound insect indicated that he was playing for keeps.

Even when he was besieged by seven Taiyin Yaoyao, Master He Shan did not resort to using his lifebound Golden Centipede.

It quickly crawled toward Elder Jiu Yin.

There were other Insect Masters from the Nine Insect Gang present, naturally they wouldn’t let the Golden Armored Centipede attack Elder Jiu Yin and began summoning their own insects to join the battle.

A Black Venomous Spider, the size of a human head, spat out its silk to attack the Golden Armored Centipede.

This Black Venomous Spider was slightly smaller than the Binding Fairy Spider slain by Qin Niu. But a conservative estimate would put it at Grade Five for

sure.

It might even have reached Grade Six.

Such a formidable venomous spider could easily kill a master of the tenth level in the Acquired Realm.

The Golden Armored Centipede, facing the spider’s silk, simply raised its head in contempt, revealing the eye on its underside.

A faint yellow light beamed out from that eye.

As soon as this yellow light shone on the Black Venomous Spider, it recoiled, growing befuddled right where it stood.

The strange eye’s yellow light attack oddly mirrored the technique used by Qin Niu’s Puppet Ants.

It seemed that all laws of the world were interconnected indeed.

“He Shan, you old devil, 1 hadn’t thought you managed to cultivate a Hundred-Eyed Golden Centipede. No wonder you were able to exterminate my Taiyin Yaoyao. If I don’t kill you today, I’ll be your grandson,” vowed Elder Jiu Yin.

Although Elder Jiu Yin’s spirit had suffered a severe blow and he had lost eight of his lifebound Taiyin Yaoyao, his combat power was still formidable.

He sent his Taiyin Yaoyao king insect to attack Deputy City Lord Bai.

In a daze, relying solely on one insect, he managed to pin the formidable and invincible Deputy City Lord Bai in place.

After the king insect was chopped into dozens of pieces, they attacked Deputy City Lord Bai from all directions.

Some managed to break through the sword light’s blockade, firmly latching onto the surface of Deputy City Lord Bai’s body.

Even though Deputy City Lord Bai was covered by a faint layer of energy armor, he was unable to repel the fragments of the Taiyin Yaoyao king insect.

They clung to the armor made of energy, desperately draining its power. Deputy City Lord Bai could feel their terror as his inner strength was rapidly depleting.

No matter how formidable he was, he couldn’t sustain the relentless drain from these insects.

Deputy City Lord Bai decided to finish the battle quickly.

Ignoring the Taiyin Yaoyao clinging to him, he recklessly charged at Elder Jiu Yin.

“Haha, Bai Xuezhu, today both you and He Shan will die. You’re a strong practitioner of the Spirit Qi Realm, nearly half an Immortal Master. After your demise, 1’11 use your corpse to rapidly produce new Taiyin Yaoyao, and that will make up for the losses incurred in this battle,” Elder Jiu Yin declared.

Elder Jiu Yin’s insects were not limited to the Taiyin Yaoyao. He slapped his Insect Bag at his waist.

A large swarm of Dark Red Ants poured out.

They resembled Fire Ants and Army Ants at the same time.

The Insect Masters of the Nine Insect Gang often exchanged techniques in cultivating insects, which is why many of their cultivated insects were of similar types.

But each person’s destiny was different, some were more skilled at breeding insects than others, and the strength of the insects they raised varied accordingly.

Elder Jiu Yin had lived for many years and could be considered an old “tortoise-grade” figure.

There was no need to discuss his experience in breeding insects.

Every type of insect he cultivated was extremely powerful.

And his tactics were inexhaustible..
