Void Beetle Evolution Guide

“Hmm.” Ahri nodded emphatically, her nine tails swaying faster behind her. “I need more life essence to accelerate the process of the ancestral spirit’s complete awakening. If we can get the ancestral spirit to take action, there might still be a chance.”

"Then what are we waiting for? Come and absorb my essence!" The impatient Kai'Sa removed her mask and said without hesitation.

“You can suck mine too.” With her taking the lead, Talia echoed her, her face full of sincerity, even though she didn’t know what price she would have to pay.

"And mine too." Then Ashe spoke, her icy blue eyes filled with determination. She would never forget the kindness of everyone who had sacrificed themselves to help her.

Sejuani glanced around at the remaining Winter's Claw warriors beside her, took a deep breath, and said on behalf of everyone, "You may take any of the essence of our Winter's Claws."

She was now fully aware that Ashe had only gotten involved to save them. Otherwise, she could have simply abandoned them and left, or even appeared in the first place.

For each person, essence is not only the condensation of life force, but also the carrier of memories.

As she watched as everyone voluntarily offered up their most precious essence, Ahri felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes reddened slightly.

Recalling their first encounter on the Shadow Isles, when he was already on the verge of death, Kai'Sa resolutely refused to give him even a single wisp of her life essence.

Now, having gone through so many hardships together, we have built a deep friendship while fighting side by side, and we trust each other without reservation.

This friendship, which transcends life and death and past grievances, warmed and moved Ah Li deeply.

"Thank you everyone, there's really no need for this." Ahri calmed herself down, fighting back tears, and said softly, "Actually, I can collect the essence from the bear-men who died on the battlefield. I've already accumulated quite a bit during our escape. Sacrificing your essence would be a loss."

To put it bluntly, there are only a few of them. Even if they offered up all their essence, they still couldn't compare to the bear-man army.

“That’s settled then. We’ll retreat while fighting, helping Ahri harvest the essence as much as possible for a final push.” Wild Hunt finished speaking in the public channel, then switched to Kai’Sa’s mind for a private chat: “Kai’Sa, I need you to give Ahri the World Rune immediately, otherwise even if we kill all the bearmen, we won’t be able to stop Volibear.”

Volibear is a god born of nature, not a false god who will decline if faith is lost. The fact that the bear spirit's power strips away the self-awareness of the lost shows that he doesn't truly need faith; therefore, even killing all his followers cannot weaken him.

Kaisa realized the gravity of the situation and silently released the runes from her body. A lump appeared on her palm, and as her skin and armor opened, the runes were completely removed.

"Don't make a sound," Kai'Sa whispered in Ahri's ear, discreetly slipping the rune into her hand.

Hearing Kai'Sa's whisper and sensing the powerful energy in her palm, Ahri immediately realized that Kai'Sa had handed her something. She nodded solemnly and gripped it tightly in her hand.

Ahri took a deep breath and then unhooked the collar around her neck. The phantom of a huge fox immediately appeared behind her, its deep eyes fixed on the giant bear on the scorched earth.

A powerful, earth-shaking roar crashed down, like the thunderous drumbeats of the heavens, as a colossal bear, its hooves thundering, charged forward. Each step carved deep craters into the scorched earth, causing the earth to tremble and crack like a spiderweb. In the blink of an eye, it covered hundreds of meters, rapidly closing in on the fleeing group.

"He's here! I'll stop him!" Kaisa, who was running in the lead, suddenly stopped and turned back to intercept Volibear.

The moment she put on the helmet, the heat dissipation plates on both sides of her thighs popped open, revealing an energy matrix inside that flowed with purple light and crackled with purple arcs of electricity.

In an instant, Kai'Sa's speed accelerated to near the speed of sound, and she turned into a streak of purple lightning, leaving a trail of afterimages hundreds of meters behind her.

One second the army of bear-men was still far out in sight, the next second their ferocious and terrifying faces appeared right in front of you, and they were even faster than the giant bears!

"That's still too risky." Wild Hunt should have stopped Kai'Sa, who was trying to stop him, but seeing the speed at which the giant bear was charging, and comparing it to Ahri's speed in charging her ultimate, he knew that if he didn't try to delay her, it would be too late.

“Nera can hold her own against Volibear for three days and three nights with her agility. I’m much faster than her, so why can’t I?” At this speed, Kai’Sa still had the energy to speak. It was only because the Wild Hunt could communicate with her mentally that he couldn’t even keep up with her speed.

"That's not how it works. They have demonic power protecting them, so they can withstand being struck by lightning without any problem. But you've sacrificed your defense for speed. Even a single electric shock would be enough to get you into serious trouble. There's absolutely no room for error."

Kasha felt a pang of nostalgia for the last time Wild Hunt had analyzed a situation for her like this, and stubbornly said, "As long as I don't make mistakes, it's fine. Besides, it's been a long time since I've pushed my limits."

"You still need to be careful. You don't have World Runes right now. If you exert too much force, your armor alone might not be able to keep up with your energy expenditure, and muscle strain won't be able to be repaired in time." Wild Hunt saw that Kai'Sa wasn't blindly confident, so he didn't say anything more.

"Then, keep a close eye on me!"

Chapter 322 Storm Incarnation

Kasha kept her eyes fixed on the giant bear ahead. Seeing that she was about to pass through the bear-man army, she slowed down slightly, intending to squeeze through the gaps in the throng of bear-men.

She hadn't considered generating elytra to fly overhead; in her combat philosophy, nothing flew as far as nothing ran.

"Speed ​​up, run as fast as you can!" Wild Hunt suddenly said at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Kasha unleashed her full speed, and the bear-man's ferocious face suddenly distorted in her vision, turning into countless blurry black lines that were thrown backward at high speed.

The instant the sound barrier was broken, a deafening explosion came from behind. The compressed air generated a powerful shockwave, and the imperceptible water vapor condensed into numerous tiny water droplets, appearing as a sonic boom cloud.

Wherever it passed, the bear-men behind it were blasted away, falling like rag dolls, bleeding from their seven orifices.

"So that's how it works?" Kasha exclaimed in surprise.

"Sonic booms only affect objects behind you, so don't crash into them."

Wild Hunt didn't have time to explain the cause of the sonic boom to Kai'Sa in detail, reminding her not to make a fatal misunderstanding due to habitual thinking.

Having passed through the army of bear-men, Kai'Sa was about to face the giant bear that had endured countless cuts and spears.

"Are you also going to challenge the storm?" Volibear's eyes flashed with electricity. He did not ignore Kai'Sa just because she was insignificant. He had already suffered a loss at Nera's hands once before.

The giant bear's claws tore open the earth, and with a powerful hurling motion, hundreds of shattered rocks rained down like a meteor shower, the smallest of which was as big as a house.

Kaisa tapped her toes heavily, each knee bend creating a white sonic boom cloud beneath her feet, using the flying rocks as springboards to leap forward, tracing a winding lightning trail like a bouncing bullet.

Volibear wasn't surprised, because Nera had also used the broken rocks as springboards in her fight against him.

He clenched his claws into fists and pounded the ground with all his might, sending countless shards of rock flying into the air. He intended to kill his opponent by smashing them, or at least by shock. However, Kaisa used the rocks as a platform and leaped onto him, running along his arms at an almost vertical angle.

This time, Volibear was finally surprised, because even Nera couldn't trample him underfoot.

"Mortal, how dare you bully me?!" The giant bear roared in fury, stood upright, and slammed its other giant paw down at Kai'Sa with a thunderous force.

A smug grin crept across Kai'Sa's face beneath her mask. The giant bear had indeed stopped to catch her, and she had successfully bought Ahri crucial time.

She circled around to the back of the giant bear, but the lightning bolts from its slammed claws into the air destroyed nearby hills, which Kai'Sa managed to escape.

Kai'Sa is so fast that even lightning seems unable to catch her. In reality, lightning is much faster than the speed of sound for Kai'Sa; what truly can't keep up with Kai'Sa is Volibear's own lock-on speed.

Humans were too small and too fast for him, and now they were in his blind spot, completely out of his sight. None of the lightning bolts he fired hit her.

Kai'Sa appeared behind the giant bear, darting through the barrage of blades and spears, her two...

He spun out a blade of light and struck the rusty weapons along the way, making them vibrate and hum.

These knives and spears had been embedded in Volibear's body for years, and along with the rust on their surfaces, they had long since become an integral part of his flesh and nerves.

Kaisa's blows were like plucked strings, turning the excruciating pain into thousands of fine needles that pierced the giant bear's soul along his nerves, making him feel as if he were being devoured by a thousand ants.

"Damn ant! I'll crush you!" Volibear roared to the sky in anger, summoning lightning to bathe him.

The lightning bolts coalesced into a ring, weaving a crackling electric net across the body's surface, sweeping over the entire body from head to toe along the direction of the hair.

As the massive electric rings swept across every landing point without leaving any blind spots, Kai'Sa decisively entered the void to avoid their attack, and then, after calculating the timing, burst out of the void again.

"Outrageous!" After several waves of attacks, Kai'Sa still clung to him like a leech. Feeling deeply humiliated, Volibear raised his hands high in an attempt to get rid of her, his body radiating endless lightning, and his mountain-like form began to condense into nothingness.

"Going to the clouds again? You're the one who's accusing others first. The Great Urn is a gift from Ornn to mankind, it never belonged to you!" Kai'Sa stepped on Volibear's broken sword. Since she couldn't stop the giant bear anyway, she simply took advantage of his gathering power to mock him.

"Born in hardship, die in comfort. Unearned wealth will only make the Freljords lose their fighting spirit and their backbone. I will never allow it!" Xiong Ling's majestic voice resounded in Kai'Sa's mind.

"Then what does it mean if I steal the large urn by my own skill? Is it getting something for nothing, or is it because I'm powerful?" Kasha said fearlessly, facing the thunder.

"Shut up!" Volibear was furious, but he did not stop his cloud-climbing technique.

"If you truly care about Freljord, why don't you eliminate the creatures in the Howling Abyss instead of mistreating humanity like this?"

"Why should I clean up the mess that Lissandra caused? Let her deal with it herself!" Volibear made no attempt to hide the disdain and disgust in his tone; just hearing the name made him furious.

"Aren't you afraid that the Watchers will break free and turn Freljord into a lifeless wasteland?"

"The storm fears nothing! I will turn the tide!"

"Fine! You win. If the Watcher ever manages to escape, I hope you won't be so scared you wet your pants."

Listening to Kai'Sa and Volibear's conversation, Wild Hunt never expected that the latter would hold such a view.

They save the world from dire straits, but they don't care why the world is in such dire straits in the first place.

Lissandra kept the Watchers' information too well hidden, and Volibear didn't want to be an unknown hero like his sister Anivia.

Instead, they attempt to use the cataclysm to temper humanity, and then step forward in the face of life and death to reap both fame and fortune.

As expected of the Undying Thunder, it's absolutely insane.

However, the sealed Watchers and the unsealed Watchers are completely different. Once freed, they will quickly adapt to the laws of this world and become more powerful than ever before.

If Volibear continues to harbor such arrogant thoughts, he will probably meet a terrible end.

Yes, he died a horrible death.

The Watcher’s goal is to devour the entire world, sparing not even a single snowflake or grain of sand, so what if you transform into a storm?

Against them, Volibear probably won't even have a chance to be resurrected.

Confronted, Kai'Sa was filled with resentment at Volibear's arrogance. At the same time, Volibear's body had completely become intangible, transforming into pure lightning form, with arcs of electricity dancing around him, leaving Kai'Sa nowhere to land.

She leaned back and leaped off the giant bear's shoulder, her back bulging high, a pair of elytra poised to burst forth.

Several bolts of lightning struck in a chaotic manner, blocking all escape routes.

Kaisa had anticipated that Volibear might attack while she was airborne, so she leaned back and jumped down to keep an eye on the sky.

Seeing that her elytra had not yet unfolded, Kaisa activated her armor and entered the void. But for some reason, the armor did not obey her commands, and her elytra could not unfold for a long time.

Fortunately, the Wild Hunt intervened in time, its giant claws tearing through the air to capture Kai'Sa and pull her away from danger.

When she reappeared, Kai'Sa had already been placed on the ground by the Wild Hunt.

"What did I say? I didn't tell you to be careful without the World Rune. You just exceeded the limits of your armor!" Wild Hunt rarely showed any tension.

Before this, he never expected that Kaisa could actually climb onto Volibear's shoulder and chat with him; even he found it unbelievable.

"I'm sorry..." Kasha's vision went black for a moment, and countless needle-like stings came from her body. Her skin and armor began to devour her flesh due to hunger. She hadn't felt this way in a long time.

"How is Ahri doing?" Kai'Sa asked with difficulty, enduring the pain.

"I don't know. I've been watching you the whole time, afraid something might happen to you."

Kasha felt a warmth in her heart. She asked Wild Hunt to watch over her, and he truly protected her all along.

She gave a weak yet warm smile: "Alright, I feel much better now. Don't worry about me anymore. Go check on Ahri's situation first."

"Wait for me." Thinking that it would only take a dozen seconds to go back and forth, Wild Hunt instantly shifted his attention to Ahri.

Through Ahri's eyes, he saw Talia constantly setting up a stone-scattering array that would explode with a single step, pushing rock pillars out of the snow and knocking them down as the bear-men passed by, smashing a large area at once.

In her dragon form, Portil even charged in with her bare body to fight the bear-man in close combat. Ashe repeatedly drew her bow with her unhealed hand, her entire arm trembling, looking extremely strained.

The warriors of Winter's Claw were also fighting fiercely. Sejuani's Steelmane was scratched by the bear-man and was covered in wounds.

"How much longer?!"

"No! Wait a little longer!"

Wild Hunt's voice became urgent, but even if Ahri absorbed the essence with all her might, the ancestral spirit would still need some time before it could fully awaken.

By this time, the embodiment of the storm had already soared into the clouds. Its feet were firmly planted on the earth, and the rolling dark clouds only reached its waist.

The domineering bear spirit stood between heaven and earth. The unchanging north wind of this place suddenly changed. The biting cold wind swirled around the bear spirit and swirled into the dark clouds to form a turbid storm.

It was the tranquil eye of the storm, with lightning flashing and leaping within it. Its majestic gaze pierced through the overwhelming storm, staring down at the people below, who were as insignificant as ants.

Wild Hunt could only comfort Ahri, saying that the more powerful the skill, the longer the preparation time. Now he had to find a way to delay Storm Avatar any longer.

Chapter 323 The Spirit Fox Appears, All Evils Repelled!

The embodiment of the storm began to move. The giant bear was draped in lightning, and its form changed the color of the sky and earth. Every step it took shattered mountains and made the earth rumble. Even ten miles away, the strong tremor could be clearly felt.

No one can stop him now.

"Voliber, look what this is!"

A hateful roar came from behind, and the giant bear turned to the side, its eyes flashing with lightning that pierced through the storm.

The dragon that he had previously discarded like trash had somehow awakened and was now carrying Ornn's large urn in its mouth.

A deep, rumbling growl escaped Volibear's throat. He would normally disdain these ants, but if the urn fell into enemy hands, his authority would be utterly destroyed.

So he waved his claws, ordering the bear-man to continue chasing the group ahead, while he turned to face this reckless challenger.

Having successfully attracted the giant bear's attention, Sephie turned and fled. She transformed back into human form, stored the large urn in her insect hive, and darted into the ruins, running in the opposite direction from the main force.

The giant bear did not chase her. Instead, it grabbed a thick bolt of lightning from the air and transformed it into a spear, aiming it at Sephiroth.

Seeing that he wasn't chasing her, Sephiroth stopped running too. She calmly turned to face the thunder and made a challenging gesture of slitting her throat at the embodiment of the storm from afar.

Volibear suddenly exerted his strength, hurling his lightning spear with a piercing shriek that tore through space.

At the critical moment, a giant claw suddenly appeared from behind Saifei and grabbed her, pulling her into the void.

The spear pierced the spot where she had just stood, and endless thunderstorms tore the earth apart, but her figure had vanished without a trace before the crack closed.
