Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 735 - 601 Breakthrough Insect King (Extra)_2
At the King Nest, Azure, Southern Gorgon, and Black Yellow locations, the range of Origin Force vacuum was rapidly expanding.
At this moment,
Round Cypress and Fragrant Cypress finally issued their commands.
In various locations, the ant swarms who had waited so long began to move, crushing Source Stones, letting massive clouds of pure Origin Force explode outward, only to be instantly absorbed again.
Correspondingly,
The downward trend of Origin Force concentration in Xianglan Mountain was halted, and the Origin Force vacuum range also stopped expanding, held steady within a 300-meter radius.
At the same time,
In the Purple Tung Insect Nation, White Lotus Lake, Molan Mountain, Southern Sour Jujube Mountain, Areca Rainforest—these five Lands of Origin Force—sixteen Divine-Given Life Seeds of various sizes all entered a dormant Evolution State.
The White Poplar Divine Seed in Purple Tung Insect Nation was surely the most relaxed; ambient Origin Force concentration was extraordinarily high, and with only this single tree rooted here, it basically needed no Source Stone supplement for Origin Force.
White Lotus Lake was next; only Nine-Leaf Huangqian and White Wax Tree Divine Seeds were rooted there, so Origin Force consumption was not great.
The circumstances at Molan Mountain and Southern Sour Jujube Mountain were similar, but with a higher number of Divine Seeds, requiring large quantities of Source Stones.
Areca Rainforest…
King Cypress, with terrifying momentum, frenziedly drew in Natural Primordial Force.
At the same time, Elephant Foot King Orchid, Rift Leaf Orchid King, and Island Banyan—all three Divine Seeds—were competing for it.
The entire Land of Origin Force had its Origin Force concentration sharply reduced to less than half of normal.
Dragon Cypress had foreseen this, and fully prepared, stockpiling a sufficient 15 million Source Stones, stacking them into mountains of 300,000 stones each, forming fifty such mountains, distributed around the four Divine Seeds.
Black Birch and Black Sophora each commanded two thousand ants, spreading out beneath these Source Stone mountains, striving to crush them and release Origin Force.
Chinese Clematis, Red Moonseed, Mulberry, and Areca, seeing the urgent situation, all stepped forward to help, pressing the Origin Force vacuum range of King Cypress within a 500-meter radius.
The Origin Force vacuum range of the other three Divine-Given Life Seeds was kept within a 300-meter radius.
…
In the middle of the night,
At Xianglan Mountain, deep inside the Main Nest, Dragon Cypress was the first to enter a stable dormant Evolution State.
Azure, Southern Gorgon, and Black Yellow successively returned to calm. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The Divine-Given Life Seeds in the other Lands of Origin Force also gradually settled down one after another.
The first stage of breaking through to King-Level was passed safely.
The responsible insects in each location could finally ease their tense nerves a little.
Since Dragon Cypress and many Divine-Given Life Seeds erupted and absorbed Origin Force at almost the same time, the initial shockwave of the entire breakthrough process was the fiercest, and Source Stone consumption was also at its peak.
After this,
Because different plant species, varying years of growth, and the states of different trees led to divergent speeds of breakthrough Evolution, the next rounds of explosive Origin Force absorption would be staggered, sometimes by half a day, a full day, or even two or three days.
With these timings offset, the Origin Force pressure on each Land of Origin Force was greatly reduced, and accordingly, Source Stone consumption would also be much lighter.
The later phases of Evolution would be relatively easier.
…
Snow-covered Purple Tung Insect Nation.
Deep into the night.
After two days of calm, the White Poplar Divine Seed was the first to erupt. With a tree height of nearly three hundred meters, every stomata on every leaf opened to the utmost, drawing in Natural Primordial Force with unprecedented frenzy.
The fluctuations covered more than half of the Central Region of the Land of Origin Force, with dense Origin Force converging from all directions.
After some time,
The Origin Force in the Central Region was clearly reduced.
A vacuum of Origin Force began to form around the White Poplar Divine Seed's trunk, gradually expanding.
"Linnan Divine Tree, shouldn't we start using Source Stones now?"
Spiked Cypress inquired.
Linnan Divine Tree replied coldly, "No rush."
After a while,
The Origin Force vacuum range expanded to two hundred meters.
Spiked Cypress couldn't stand it anymore, so it asked another tree, "Huagi Divine Tree, what do you think, is it time to use Source Stones?"
Huagi Divine Tree countered, "Didn't Dragon Cypress give you the limit? Three hundred meters radius, that's the safety line."
Jinhe couldn't help but interject, "Spiky Ant, are you really in such a hurry to waste your Great King's Source Stones?"
Spiked Cypress: "I'm just being cautious..."
What an impatient, silly ant.
No tree was willing to waste words with it; all attention was focused near the White Poplar Divine Seed, nervously monitoring the changes in Origin Force fluctuations.
At last, when the Origin Force vacuum reached 300 meters,
without waiting for Spiked Cypress to prod again, Black Persimmon directly issued the command. The Worker Ants set out in unison; crunching sounds rang out as Source Stones were shattered, huge clouds of Origin Force scattered, and the expansion of the vacuum was immediately checked.
Soon after, the White Poplar Divine Seed's rate of absorption began to slow, and calm was restored.
Spiked Cypress was enthusiastic, running all about to check and tally the number of Source Stones.
In this round, only about 50,000 Source Stones were consumed.
There would be four more rounds of such intense eruptions. In Purple Tung Insect Nation, Origin Force was so rich that almost no Source Stones were needed at all.
…
On the third day,
Azure Divine-Given Seed at Xianglan Mountain erupted…
Around the same time, the Thunder Oak Divine-Given Seed at Molan Mountain, the Red Cypress and Round Leaf Keg Vine Divine-Given Seeds at Southern Sour Jujube Mountain, all erupted in turn…
Southern Gorgon, Black Yellow, Little Wild Chestnut, Island Banyan—these Divine-Given Seeds were much slower, remaining dormant for five, six, even seven days before starting.
…
On the tenth day, the White Poplar Divine Seed completed its breakthrough at astonishing speed, easily advancing to King-Level.
This was a crucial metamorphosis for Origin Force Plants.
Its soul was fully awakened; White Poplar could now use spiritual power to communicate with any Origin Force Life other than Dragon Cypress and the Assistant King.
It could directly communicate with Clan Warriors of the Insect Clan like Spruce, as well as with Origin Force plants such as Huagi, Linnan, Jinhe, Purple Tung, Night Fragrance.
All now rooted together in one Land of Origin Force, finally able to speak to one another.
White Poplar spoke little, silently listening to what the others were saying…
