Chapter 1240 Mother Nest (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

As soon as the blue beetle was released, it sniffed around, as if it had sensed something.

"Is this the scent of your companion? Can you locate the mother nest?" Su Ping communicated telepathically.

The blue beetle turned its head to look at Su Ping, nodded, scratched its head with its ferocious forelimbs, and then pointed to a passage ahead.

Su Ping understood its meaning and said, "Lead the way."

The green beetle was clearly in high spirits. Upon hearing this, it quickly crawled ahead. Su Ping told Xiao Qing to shrink its size and follow, and he also called out to Er Gou. Under Er Gou's bewildered gaze, he jumped onto its back, his meaning very clear.

Er Gou also realized what was happening, and seemed to mutter something, but still happily followed behind the green beetle.

Not long after walking along the passage, Su Ping saw some scattered remains on the ground. The flesh had been eaten away, leaving only bones. Some were human and some were beast. Su Ping shook his head. They must be gods from other forces who came to explore.

Suddenly, he remembered the local forces in the chaotic star field that his senior brother Lianqi had mentioned.

None of the seven major powers seem to be present here.

Don't they know the core issue?

Su Ping's eyes flickered, sensing that something was amiss.

However, he had no direction or clue, so he could only rely on the data detection of the smart watch to head towards his abdomen.

"The rules here are also slowly dissipating, and it seems to be gradually being affected by the cosmic rift. Did this ancient corpse drift in from outside the cosmic rift, or did it appear here to seal it up?"

Su Ping sat on Er Gou's back, pondering.

Soon, the green beetle and Little Green, who were scouting ahead, sent a signal that they had encountered an enemy attack.

By the time Su Ping arrived, they had already defeated their opponents. On the ground lay the corpses of several demonic beasts, their divine rules suppressed and their souls annihilated.

Seeing how eager Xiaoqing looked, Su Ping didn't stop her and let her absorb the food.

Xiaoqing has an excellent appetite and strong digestive ability. In addition, she has mastered the Devouring Heaven Divine Path, which allows her to devour all things. Relying on this path, her evolution speed has increased significantly. The more she eats, the faster she evolves.

The blue beetle continued to lead the way, rampaging along the passage.

With Xiao Qing's help, the monsters encountered along the way were quickly swept away. The Star Lord level monsters were easily suppressed and killed by the Green Beetle, while the God-Sealing level monsters were quickly scared away or dealt with by Xiao Qing. With the Supreme being out of the way, Su Ping could move almost freely inside the ancient corpse.

Not long after, Su Ping encountered other conferred gods who were also exploring inside the ancient corpse and fighting against the beasts that inhabited it.

Su Ping ignored him and walked past as if he didn't see anything, not bothering to join in or take advantage of the situation. He felt that he had already done right by himself.

Although they were all human companions and should have helped each other out, since they came to search for treasure, they should have been prepared to do so. Their deaths here are no one's fault but their own.

Seeing Su Ping, a mere Star Lord, swaggering by, the God-Sealing team, who were engaged in battle, were somewhat dumbfounded but ignored him. In their view, a Star Lord was of little use, not even worth drawing fire for them. Even if they transferred the demonic beasts to Su Ping, they would instantly deal with him and launch a counterattack.

Therefore, those who were passing by simply passed by, and those who were fighting fought, without interfering with each other.

As Su Ping traveled thousands of miles, his perception was greatly limited due to the interference of the special Dao field inside the ancient corpse. In addition, the power of rules and Dao patterns was also suppressed to some extent. During his journey of thousands of miles, Su Ping encountered seven or eight beast tides, all of which were small in scale, but each was comparable to the combat power of three or four to seven or eight Gods.

"Um?"

Ahead, the sounds of fighting could be heard.

Upon receiving the excited signal from the green beetle, Su Ping slapped Er Gou on the head and quickly rushed over.

Inside a passage through a fleshy wall, a swarm of white and silver Abyssal Star Insects were attacking several figures.

These figures struggled to hold off the swarm of insects. On the ground lay human eggs, their bodies covered in a corrosive, sticky substance, tightly bound to the flesh like protruding bumps, yet each still held a faint trace of life.

Besides those trapped inside the eggs, there are five other beings engaged in battle, all of whom are deities, desperately defending themselves against the swarm of insects.

"A nest? But it seems a bit too rudimentary..."

Su Ping glanced around and was somewhat disappointed. The number of insects was not large. There were only 8 golden Abyss Starry Sky Insects, and the rest were silver. In the distance, there were even smaller milky white insects. With only the cultivation of the Starry Sky Realm, they were extremely weak in combat here. It was already difficult for them to survive in the environment.

Su Ping waved his hand, signaling Xiao Qing to finish the fight.

At the same time, Su Ping instructed the blue beetle to tame the group of strange insects and use them to find the location of the mother nest, as he wanted to know where these strange insects came from.

Whoosh!

Upon receiving Su Ping's instructions, Xiao Qing darted out at lightning speed. Even though her body had shrunk to a few dozen meters, it still appeared enormous within the passage. She was also extremely agile, quickly maneuvering and charging directly into the swarm of insects.

The five people who were struggling against the swarm of insects were surprised to see Xiao Qing. They wondered whose top-quality pet it was, as it was so fierce.

They looked around and found Su Ping sitting on Er Gou's back. When they sensed Su Ping's cultivation level, they were immediately astonished. Some of them seemed to recognize Su Ping's appearance and stared in shock. They then quickly communicated with their companions.

Soon, all five of them realized who the young man in front of them was.

Their eyes were filled with complex emotions. One of them thanked Su Ping from a distance, and then the five of them quickly withdrew and fled along the other side of the passage.

In their view, although Su Ping was famous, he was only a Star Lord. Having a God-Sealing Realm battle pet was unbelievable for other Star Lords, but it was not so strange for a monstrous talent like Su Ping who was famous throughout the universe.

However, relying solely on a divine pet can only bring temporary ferocity.

Therefore, they had no intention of going forward to befriend and thank him; they only wanted to take advantage of the brief moment Su Ping had stalled them to leave quickly.

Seeing how decisively the group left, Su Ping guessed their thoughts. He shook his head, unconcerned. He had long since witnessed the wickedness of human nature. With a wave of his hand, he scraped off the human eggs sealed in the viscous liquid on the flesh wall, broke through the egg follicles containing corrosive rules, and out fell pale-faced, naked figures.

There were men and women, all wearing corroded armor. Some were completely naked, their skin almost rotting, while others wore high-quality armor, but it was dull and rusty, and had slipped off their bodies.

These people were groggy, as if waking from a dream. When they saw the great battle around them, they were terrified and turned pale. Before they could even make out their surroundings, they fled to a place where there were the fewest alien insects.

He didn't even glance at Su Ping, his savior.

Su Ping didn't care. He helped others without seeking any cause or reason; he simply did what he wanted to do and didn't do what he didn't want to do.

After these people escaped, Xiaoqing's battle was almost over.

Under Xiao Qing's coiling and whipping, all eight golden abyssal star insects were defeated. Some had their carapaces shattered, some had their wings broken, and some had half their bodies eaten away by Xiao Qing, leaving them on the verge of death. The bitten parts of their bodies could not grow back, which was the effect of Xiao Qing's sealing technique, Devouring Heaven.

After Xiaoqing calmed down from the fight, the green beetle cleaned up the mess and, through communication and taming, quickly gleaned some information from the swarm.

This is just a temporary military camp for the swarm, one of the processing plants responsible for supplying food to the mother hive.

"Indeed, the scale of the alien insects here is quite powerful, but..." Su Ping smiled. According to the information he obtained from the Green Beetle, although the mother nest here is very large, the queen inside is not a Supreme Realm expert, but at most a top-tier God-Sealing expert!

"If I can tame the insect swarm here and start a war with the Heavenly Demon Alliance, I can help my master and the others even without my intervention. After all, I was partly responsible for the origin of this war..." Su Ping thought to himself.

The insectoid system of the Abyss Star Insects is quite unique. Su Ping had long noticed that all the combat insects in the swarm serve the Queen Mother, and the hierarchical system among the combat insects is very strict, no different from the ranks of the dragon race. Those of lower realm cannot disobey those of higher realm.

However, this doesn't quite work on the blue beetle.

Having traveled through the heavens with Su Ping, witnessing ancient gods, ancient demons of the underworld, and even the Golden Crow God and Demon of the Chaos Era, the Blue Armor Beetle's heart had long been forged into unparalleled strength, and its consciousness had already awakened. It had shifted from the perspective of the insect race to a higher-dimensional perspective, and was no longer sensitive to or submissive to the pressure of those of higher rank.

Strength is the only true measure of power.

The pressure from its rank alone was meaningless to it. Under its suppression, the seven small worlds appeared, releasing a powerful pressure. In particular, the pressure from the Heavenly Dao of the Seventh Tribulation Realm made its aura even more ferocious, causing the eight golden beetles to feel some fear and apprehension.

After subduing the swarm of Abyssal Star Insects, Su Ping had the Blue Beetles lead the way to the Mother Nest.

Inside the fleshy passage, the sounds of insect legs rubbing and crawling rose and fell. Two dogs followed behind, like sheepdogs, as if they were driving away these abyssal star insects.

Half a day later, Su Ping arrived at the abdomen of the ancient corpse.

The mother nest of this Abyssal Star Worm is located here, extending outwards from its abdomen to all its limbs and bones.

Su Ping pulled up the intelligent scan image of the ancient corpse, which showed a sunken basin on its abdomen. That was most likely the nest of the Abyss Star Worm.

"The ancient sword fragments are not visible on the surface of the heart; they are only visible inside, and the surface is intact." Su Ping glanced at the heart area as well, wondering what was going on with his senior brothers there. Perhaps a great battle had already broken out, given that they had received three impacts during their journey.

Each impact is caused by the heartbeat.

It also contains the sword intent of an ancient sword. Fortunately, it is far away, and after being weakened by the flesh wall, its power can be withstood even by ordinary gods.

By the time it reaches the abdomen, the impact caused by this throbbing is negligible, and there is no need to resist it; one can only feel a slight tremor.

At this moment, in this abdominal area, Su Ping saw that along the way, there were some monster remains scattered in the surrounding flesh walls, as well as many broken exploration robots. Some of these robots looked similar to humans, while others were square and had strange shapes, but they were all broken at this moment and covered with foul-smelling slime.

Insects don't eat metal, so these robots are simply abandoned.

The fleshy walls were covered with slime and spiderweb-like webs. Su Ping encountered a small swarm of insects as soon as he arrived. Led by Xiao Qing and the green beetle, the swarm quickly crushed him.

The swarm of insects is growing larger and larger, now numbering as many as 26 golden beetles, equivalent to 26 deities. They are definitely an extremely powerful force outside!

Many cosmic 5-star forces only have this many deified beings.

A 6-star power is a top-tier power in the universe, like the Loulan family.

The highest level, 7 stars, represents the divine dynasties established by various supreme beings.

As they ventured deeper, they encountered more and more swarms of insects along the way. There were fewer deities here, seemingly deterred by the treacherous environment. The deity forces that came to explore this place were not large in scale. A pure Heavenly Lord combat team like Su Ping's, composed of his fellow disciples, was at the top level.

The rest could be considered a relatively large-scale operation if they could mobilize 10 deities to form a team.

Hiss!

As Su Ping ventured deeper, the swarms of insects he encountered grew larger and larger. Some of the fleshy passages were filled with larvae, including some at the Heavenly Fate Realm level, which could only huddle around the larger insects and dared not leave.

These larvae feed on the slime left by the adult insects, which contains certain substances. The adult insects gnaw on the flesh walls, creating wormholes.

This ancient corpse, whose body had remained intact for billions of years, could not withstand the devouring of these abyssal star insects.

Xiao Qing and the swarm of insects led by the green beetle swept through the area. The insect swarm here seemed to have received the news as well. As they went deeper, they gradually stopped encountering small groups of insects. When they reached the depths of the abdomen, in a very open area, Su Ping saw an extremely horrifying scene.

It was a place like a giant organ, with countless spiderweb-like tubes and fleshy intestines extending inside. A large number of worms crawled everywhere, and at the very center was a huge fleshy tumor like a heart, trembling slightly. Inside the depression lay an incredibly huge mother worm!

This mother beetle was more than ten times the size of the other golden beetles. Her whole body was golden, and her lower body had yellowish-brown flesh, like the tail of a honeycomb. Beneath this flesh was a high platform, and the platform was crawling with insect eggs.

The eggs laid by the mother insect are transported down the platform to the ground, and the swarm of insects thus arises.

"Fortunately, I haven't reached the Supreme Realm yet."

Su Ping glanced at it from afar and realized that the mother insect was not a supreme being. He breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it wasn't a supreme being, that was fine.

"Hiss!"

The surrounding swarm of insects was enormous, as if all the insect swarms outside had been mobilized back. Sensing the threat, they all guarded the mother insect. There were more than two hundred golden beetles alone!

"superior."

Without further ado, Su Ping immediately ordered Xiao Qing to take action.

The moment Xiaoqing darted away, the entire swarm of insects erupted. Golden beetles swept over like a tidal wave, while the silver abyssal star insects gathered around the mother insect, eyeing Su Ping and the other intruders with predatory intent.

The mother beetle suddenly let out a piercing scream, and the swarm of beetles that the blue beetle had tamed along the way immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, losing their fighting ability.
