After turning that blue crystal totally into a spiritual liquid. Zong Shou then mixed several drops of his blood in and then dropped it onto the eggshell of the ant queen.

Some shivers of light appeared on the purple gold eggshell. This blue liquid seeped into the eggshell without any resistance. Even the formation that Zong Shou drew previously also seeped in.

Only the Taixuan heart locking soul settling talisman was unable to enter, resisted by a power within the egg and blocked outside.

Zong Shou scoffed. With a thought, a flame burned in his palm, mercilessly throwing it onto the shell. The flame charged forwards and broke that bit of power. The Taixuan heart locking soul settling talisman also started to burn, turning into bits of small blue specks and heading right into the eggshell.

In the next instance, along with Zong Shou keeping that flame, the spiritual energy which had formed into a physical form started to surge over.

Zong Shou was prepared for it long ago. On Zong Yuan, himself and all the protector beasts he had buffed them with a diamond body-protecting talisman. Even the seven-star spell altar below had managed to cut off its connection with the ten over spiritual veins in time.

The beasts and evil beings weren’t prepared and were smacked by spiritual energy. Their bodies lost balance, the blood in some of their bodies even exploded out.

However, Zong Shou didn’t have time to bother about all of that. Even that set of flying leaf sword formation was in chaos due to the vast spiritual wave. He had no time to bother about what was happening outside of the spell altar.

In front of his eyes, the purple-gold ant queen egg had risen and was hanging in mid-air.

The surrounding spiritual veins were forcefully sucked over vein by vein and locked onto the fist-sized eggshell. Large amounts of spiritual energy crazily injected in.

Within this small piece of the void, threads of lightning spread all about.

Zong Shou himself was hit by a few. Luckily he had many talismans on him.

On the contrary, those evil demons who didn’t have any physical bodies, under the spiritual energy hits and strikes from the lightning were all smashed into dust. However, who knew where the spiritual wave had swept those leftover evil crystals to.

After an unknown period of time passed—so long that even Zong Shou felt a little numb—he tore open the 24th grade 7 talisman open, the purple gold ant queen egg finally stopped swallowing. The surrounding spirit wave once again regained calm.

Zong Shou and Zong Yuan moved as they all looked over. Then that eggshell gave out a cracking noise as it finally broke open.

One small thing crawled out from within. It wasn’t purple gold like Zong Shou had expected and it wasn’t the pure black of the demon fire crystal ant. Instead, it was silver and extremely eye-catching. It was different from what the demon fire crystal ant looked like on the body of the Ant Zhenren.

Its body was shaped like a human. It had a total of 6 limbs. There were 2 pairs in front, the tip of it was extremely sharp blades. The back limbs looked like human legs and could let it stand still. On its back, there were 6 pairs of cicada wing thin transparent wings which made it look noble and majestic.

At this moment Zong Shou was stunned. His new protector beast, apart from the 2 pairs of knife limbs which kept a bit of the look of the insect race, was similar to a type of living being known as Wingman which he saw in another world. It didn’t even have the symbolic compound eyes of the insect race.

When those 6 pairs of wings lightly flapped, around its body burnt a white-colored flame, filled with a saint-like purity.

He was totally confused. No matter what, he couldn’t understand what was happening. The queen of the demon fire crystal beast merging with the blood of the spirit salamander which the ancient era saw as an evil beast and had poison all over its body, so how did it give birth to such a weird being? That was exceeding the range of what he could understand.

As for Zong Yuan, he frowned, a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

“It is only grade 6…”

Any descendant of a god beast would at least be grade 7.

However, Zong Yuan himself didn’t have much hope that this demon fire crystal ant queen would be able to reach the heavens with one step.

However, that egg had absorbed the soul and blood essence of 100 thousand crystal ants.

Following which it also merged with a full piece of ten thousand bug essence and absorbed huge amounts of heaven and earth spiritual energy.

It made such a huge scene and in the end, after breaking its shell, it was still grade 6. It was a large disappointment.

Zong Shou shook his head, his expression was solemn. He looked carefully. The silver human-shaped thing was less than the size of 2 index fingers of a normal person. Its body looked like a female human, extremely delicate. Its eyes were tightly shut, the face looked elegant like that of an elf.

However, for some reason, his heart could feel an extremely sharp fierce intent hidden within that small and weak body. He instinctively felt that something wasn’t right, the alertness in his heart rose up to the maximum.

A few breaths later he saw the human-shaped ant suddenly open its eyes. It was a pair of purple gold pupils, filled with sharp killing intent.

Its body flashed as it charged over at lightning speed. Even Zong Yuan was unable to react as it charged to the front of Zong Shou.

2 pairs of half an inch long knives sliced at Zong Shou’s throat. The diamond body-protecting spell buffed on the body was like paper as it was slashed into bits by the knife.

Zong Shou’s eyes squinted. He had prepared for this and showed no fears against the sudden assassination attempt by this human-shaped ant queen.

The sword in his hand directly came out of its sheath and blocked in front of the 2 pairs of long knives. Following which, with a sharp clang, a shocking giant strength spread over, actually forcing him back tens of steps and nearly falling off the top of the spell altar. His chest rising up and down profusely, the blood and energy raging about in his body. The 9 chakra meridians under the clashing of energy nearly tore apart.

Seeing the first knife fail, the human-shaped ant queen’s body flashed once more as it changed directions and charged. Avoiding Zong Yuan’s long spear and once again rushing straight for Zong Shou.

However this time the human-shaped ant queen heard Zong Shou scoff coldly before it even got close.

“Bastard, how bold!”

A soul power wave suddenly spread out from between Zong Shou’s eyebrows. It didn’t attract any spiritual energy, just purely covering down. Then, a mark rose up from between the brows of the human-shaped ant queen. Then it suddenly fell downwards onto the ground. It was suppressed by Zong Shou’s soul power, locking down on its soul such that it couldn’t move at all.

At this point, Zong Shou’s few protector beasts all reacted. The lightning winged flood serpent stretched its giant head beside Zong Shou. Its dragon eyes were filled with killing intent as it looked at the nearby human-shaped ant queen.

The rising moon lion and the demon eye silver bear gave off wary expressions as they moved close to Zong Shou.

Little Gold was the same, but at this moment, it left Zong Shou’s arm. It jumped into the air, actually turning into a dragon shape, like the giant yellow dragon of legends, its body completely earth yellow in color. Its body gave off a bit of dragon aura.

It caused the lightning winged flood dragon to be confused, especially glancing towards Little Gold. He was wondering if this little fellow the same race as him?

After Zong Shou suppressed the intent of that human-shaped ant queen did he notice the changes to Little Gold.

He felt delighted while also feeling surprised. He knew that this fellow’s ability to copy items was forced out under such danger to reach such a high level. He could already copy real-life living beings. At this moment, the giant yellow dragon that it formed, apart from its body being a little smaller, was extremely similar.

To be able to grasp this kind of magical power at the peak of grade 5 was impressive. He remembered that in the last life, in that person’s hands, Little Gold was only able to copy the shape of god beasts when it reached grade 6.

However, at this moment he had no time to observe the changes to Little Gold’s body. He felt that on the side of the human-shaped ant queen there was a stubborn resistance which was trying to charge out from the body. It was going against the Taixuan heart locking soul settling talisman between its brows, struggling to get out of Zong Shou’s mental control.

On the side of Zong Yuan, his face was filled with astonishment, “This little thing is so quick! Is it grade 6?”

His maniac lightning spear should be one of the fastest few spear techniques in this world. Using the power of lightning and magnetism to push forwards. Within the same grade, there were only a few that were able to go up against his maniac lightning spear.

However, that human-shaped ant queen was several times faster than his spear. When it flew it seemed to turn into a golden light. He couldn’t even catch a glimpse of it.

Its speed far exceeded the level of grade 7 beasts, even grade 8 and grade 9 god beast family subjects who were famous for their speed weren’t as strong.

Was this thing only grade 6? What monster was it to be so terrifying?

Zong Shou was also baffled as he injected soul power over to try to maintain the talisman to continue to suppress it. On the other side, he was in deep thought. After a short while, his eyes lit up, “It isn’t a god beast, it is a heaven and earth variant! This ant queen should be grade 7 no doubt, it suppressed its grade!”

Zong Shou was shocked once more. He roughly knew what a heaven and earth variant was. It wasn’t a god beast. but it was no weaker.

It mutated due to intrinsic evil tendencies that weren’t recognized by the heaven and earth. The heavens were jealous of it, which was why it was not listed as a god beast.

During the cloud desolate era, there were rumors of such beasts. Often they were unique and there was nothing like them. They were filled with dangers and killing. when they were born they often killed many. Unless they were able to grow and exceed the heaven and earth realm, they often ended up in a tragic state. Naturally, its combat strength far exceeded that of normal beasts.

At this point, Zong Shou thought back to the ten thousand bug essence that he let enter the eggshell.

At this point, even a fool would know that within that thing was something mysterious. If not just with the blood of the spirit salamander and the hundred thousand ant essence, no matter what it wouldn’t have achieved such an effect. The only thing he didn’t know was where reverend Xuanlang obtained these things from.
