Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 171 The Zerg Queen
The only means of attack, the "Hellfire Pillar", coupled with the characteristic of "being able to obtain the most destructive power among plant life", makes the Emberwood a highly sought-after plant life.

Of course the universe is fair.

The resources consumed in cultivating many plant lives to the point of immortality are already a huge expense, and even some of the most powerful kings may not be able to afford to cultivate the Cinderwood.

Taking the Mo Yun vine as a reference, the number of vines of the realm master level Mo Yun vine varies greatly. The worst has only 36 main vines, while the best can reach 360.

For an ordinary Moyun vine to break through from the ninth level of the Realm Master to Immortality, 620 million Hunyuan units are required. As for Moyun vines with different numbers of vines, the breakthrough plans and required points are even more amazing:

The best plan for ‘108 Main Vine Moyundeng’ is to become an immortal god 80% of the time, and this plan requires paying 1810 million points.

The best solution for ‘216 Main Vine Moyun Veng’ is to become an immortal god by 50%, which requires paying 15.3 billion points.

The best solution for ‘360 Main Vine Moyun Veng’ is to become an immortal god by 40%, which requires paying nearly 116 billion points.

You have to know that the above price plans were obtained by Jiang Ye relying on his power and status in the virtual universe. If it were someone else without a background, this number would probably be double or triple, or even higher.

In comparison, the cultivation cost of the Cinder Flame Wood, which is even rarer than the Moyun Vine, is even higher. Just one of its seedlings costs as much as 30 Hunyuan Units.

Unlike vine-like plants like the Moyun Teng, the Cinder Flame Wood is classified by its height, with the most common ones being ten feet and one hundred feet.

Of course, the worst Realm Lord-level cultivation might turn into a ten-foot-long Cinder Flame Tree, which can only release a single giant pillar of fire; but generally speaking, as long as you put some effort into it, with the Cinder Flame Tree's talent, it can at least be a hundred feet long.

The highest level is the legendary Ten Thousand Meter Cinder Flame Tree. After success, it will have the peak strength of being crowned a king and can release tens of thousands of giant flame pillars at the same time. Each giant flame pillar is a hundred kilometers high, and the destructive power reaches the limit of being a king. Its trunk vitality is much stronger than that of a human king. Even the strongest Fire God Source Crystal cannot destroy it.

However, the difficulty of the Wanzhang Cinderwood breaking through to immortality is almost the same as that of the Zerg Queen breaking through to immortality.

Even the Virtual Universe Company only gives him a 20% chance of becoming an immortal god, which requires nearly 1500 billion points.

There are billions of lives in the universe, it is amazing, but there is no free lunch!
The universe is fair. For star beasts and Zerg queens, it is incredibly difficult to break through to immortality.

The same goes for those plant lives. The more advanced the plant lives are... the more ridiculously difficult they are, and the more ridiculously expensive they are.

Should we choose to cultivate inferior plant life, which is easy to break through to immortality, or cultivate extremely strong plant life, which may never break through to immortality.

How to choose is all up to the individual.

"This ember fire tree is only a thousand feet tall. Although it's not as terrifying as ten thousand feet, it has the advantage of size as a plant. Once it burns its divine power, its attack power is enough to rival some high-ranking humans! This is going to be a good show to watch!" Jiang Ye shook the wine glass in his hand, watching the battle on the battlefield with great interest.

Just as Jiang Ye said, looking at the thousand-foot-tall cinderwood, the flaming man and the dragonfly-winged immortal both looked troubled, as if they had seen an invincible enemy.

However, the eyes of the purple soul crystal man were full of blazing greed, and he was secretly thinking, "A thousand-foot-tall ember flame tree at the peak of the Marquis level! How can a human world master possess such a rare plant life? If I kill him, how much military merit will it be worth?"

The plant life might be stronger than me in terms of combat power, but not by much. Those two idiots have just reached the threshold of becoming a king, and they are not yet stable. Even I have the ability to shatter their immortal bodies."

"Besides, this human realm master is only a realm master after all. He does not have an immortal body. If... I burn some of my immortal power and give it a try, I can enslave him. Not only will I be a huge helper in the future, but this kind of genius will definitely be comparable to a high-ranking king in terms of military merit."

The reward for killing a world master genius is higher than that for killing an immortal of the same strength.

For a world master alone to possess such powerful plant life, his background must be very powerful.

Therefore, as long as the kill is successful, the military merit gained in the demon clan camp is indeed comparable to the high-level immortal military merit gained by killing a true king.

The purple crystal man's eyes turned fierce, and his divine power burned instantly. The purple crystals on his body surged violently, emitting a strange and strong purple light, and countless mysterious secret patterns flashed and jumped in it.

He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a desperate madness, and whispered an ancient and obscure spell. The voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, with a hint of chill.

As he chanted the spell, his body trembled slightly uncontrollably, as if he was in great pain.

A layer of faint purple mist slowly seeped out from his pores. The purple mist was like a lively elf, circling in the air and gradually condensing above his head.

In the blink of an eye, an illusory purple soul shadow took shape in the purple mist. This soul shadow looked somewhat similar to the man with the purple soul crystal, but it also revealed a sense of hideousness and terror.

Purple Soul Crystal Clan Talent: Burning Purple Soul.

The Purple Soul Crystal Clan highly condenses their own divine power through purple soul crystals, and through special soul fluctuations, transforms it into wisps of dark purple soul flames, which penetrate deep into the enemy's soul. Once the soul flames come into contact with the enemy's soul, they will instantly explode.

The enemy will instantly feel the excruciating pain of their soul being burned, as if countless red-hot steel needles were piercing their soul at the same time. This pain far exceeds the limits of the flesh, causing them to instantly fall into extreme fear and panic.

Under the impact of this severe pain, the enemy's thinking becomes slow and consciousness begins to blur. Whether it is performing secret techniques or making reactions, the speed will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, during the burning of the soul flame, a special kind of pollution power will be released. This pollution will gradually change the essence of the enemy's soul, making it chaotic and evil, and may even cause the enemy to lose self-awareness and become a puppet of the Purple Soul Crystal Clan.

"Go!" The purple soul crystal man suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly. The purple soul shadow above his head instantly turned into a purple lightning and shot towards the human world master. This lightning was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it crossed a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, leaving a striking purple track in the universe.

The human world master seemed unaware of this powerful soul attack and continued to stand there quietly with an expression calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

At the same time, the thousand-foot-long Cinder Flame Tree seemed to have sensed some command, and the flames on its branches burned violently like ignited barrels of explosives - burning with divine power.

Boom boom boom...

Thousands of giant pillars of fire instantly emerged from the branches of the emberwood tree. These giant pillars of fire were like angry fire dragons, carrying the momentum of destroying the world, and swept towards the three aliens.

However, these giant pillars of fire did not attack the three aliens, but surrounded them, forming a huge fire cage.

In the fire cage, flames burned fiercely and heat waves rolled, making people feel as if they were in a sea of fire in hell.

"Ok?"

The flame man and the dragonfly-winged tribe looked at the giant pillars of fire around them in confusion. At this moment, the purple soul crystal man looked at the human world master who did not take any defensive measures, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

laugh!
That purple soul shadow directly bombarded the human's sea of consciousness.

The human world master only felt a sharp pain in his head, as if countless steel needles were piercing him. The pain came like a surging tide, making his consciousness begin to become blurred. His body also trembled involuntarily. A look of pain appeared on his face, as if he was desperately resisting the severe pain.

"Hahaha! Just be my slave!"

When the man with purple soul crystal saw that the human world master was hit, a smug smile appeared on his face. His laughter echoed in the universe. He increased the strength of his soul attack, trying to completely destroy the human world master's consciousness and enslave him.

Just when the purple crystal man thought he had succeeded, the human world master roared, and the crystal between his eyebrows emitted a green light visible to the naked eye, radiating around and instantly shattering the purple soul shadow.

The moment the purple soul shadow shattered, a shrill scream was heard, like the howling of a devil, echoing in the void.

"coming!"

Jiang Ye grinned in the Yechen control room, then looked at the other end of the detector.

Tens of thousands of kilometers away from the main battlefield between the three alien races and the human world, countless Zergs suddenly appeared, covering the sky and the earth. Each tiger beetle king was about 26 meters tall, with a thick shell all over its body, a dark red ferocious body, and exuded a heart-pounding breath.

There are a million densely packed tiger beetle kings, all of them look exactly the same.

Zerg.

Millions of world master insects, and the king of tiger beetles!
At the core of the entire Zerg army is the Zerg mother nest with a diameter of nearly one kilometer.

Millions of tiger beetle kings stretched out their claws at the same time and lined up neatly. It seemed as if these millions of world master warriors were in telepathic communication.

In fact, they were indeed being distracted by a Realm Master-level Zerg Queen, who was controlling millions of Tiger Beetles at the same time. Although they could not make attacks that contained laws, they could still make precise attacks.

"Huh? The Zerg's soul attack method." At this time the purple crystal man also reacted, his face changed instantly, the smug smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by fear and despair.

"Oh no, run!" The amethyst man shouted at the fire man and the dragonfly-winged tribe.

boom!
In the distant void, an extremely terrifying attack instantly tore through layers of rocks and attacked the void.

Feeling the powerful fluctuations in the distance, the Fire Man's eyes were filled with shock and anger: "Zerg? Damn, the detection equipment didn't find it at all. Where are these Zerg? This Zerg's large detector... is it more advanced than my micro detector?"

hum…

At the core of the densely packed and all-encompassing Zerg army, the Zerg mother nest divides out millions of consciousnesses and controls all the Zerg kings at the same time.

At this time, naturally, millions of Zerg kings were completely united. A huge energy ball appeared on the claws of each Zerg king. An energy ball was something that the immortal strongmen simply disdained.

But if millions of them gather together, even a peak king might fall if hit.

Endless balls of light flew out in an instant, just like countless meteors streaking across the sky. As they flew, they all began to gradually gather together. After flying hundreds of thousands of kilometers, they actually gathered into a heart-pounding rainbow light.

The universe is extremely fragile in front of this rainbow light, constantly collapsing and shattering.

"Damn it! That damn plant life!" The Dragonfly kept flapping its wings to avoid the huge pillars of fire emitted by the Emberwood. His figure shuttled between the pillars of fire.

The purple crystal man looked at the huge fire cage, gritted his teeth, and then drilled into the nearest giant meteorite which was a hundred miles long.

With a flip of his hand, a beautiful purple flower floated beside him.

This flower is gorgeous, but it also gives off a rotten smell, as if it is a flower from hell.

I saw this purple flower suddenly begin to spread and extend, extending madly toward the outside along the craters in the meteorite. At the same time, the thorny green leaves and countless petals also penetrated the entire meteorite and stretched into outer space.

Almost a moment!
The purple flower spread over hundreds of thousands of kilometers around, and it heavily wrapped up an F9-class spacecraft released by the purple crystal man in the meteorite, forming a huge purple fortress.

"Amethyst, let me hide in too!" The Fire Man shouted anxiously, his voice full of fear and despair.

"And me!" The immortal alien from the Dragonfly Wing Clan also shouted loudly.

But the purple crystal man did not respond. He just frowned and observed the situation outside through the virtual exterior scene on the spacecraft.

When the Fire Man saw that the Amethyst Man had no reaction, the hope in his eyes instantly died out, and was replaced by endless fear and anger.

"Amethyst, you bastard!" He roared at the top of his lungs, but the only response he got was the roar of flames.

The immortal from the Dragonfly Clan panicked and flapped its wings desperately to avoid the dense pillars of fire that were like a rainforest, while flying away.

…………

A million ordinary world master warriors can severely injure a peak king with one attack. Of course, the prerequisite is that they can hit the peak king. Those peak kings are not fools. They are all good at dodging and escaping.

Therefore, a million-strong army of world masters generally has a good threat effect, and is quite effective when the army is fighting against each other. It is really effective when a million-strong army of world masters fights against a crowned king.

It was too difficult to hit him. But no one could deny the power of his combined attack!
The "Million Realm Master Zerg King" is dozens of times stronger than the "Ordinary Million Realm Master Zerg" when it strikes together, causing a chain reaction and skyrocketing power!
Even a peak king might lose 50%-100% of his immortal body. In other words, even a peak king might still fall.

This is the terror of the Zerg King, the Lord of Millions of Worlds!
Of course the premise is... to hit.

Normally it would be difficult to bombard a powerful king, but now the three aliens were trapped in the fire cage. It was naturally very easy to bombard this huge and conspicuous fire cage.
