Yun Lu sighed, “Young Master, it failed. This Holy Ant failed in its final mutation level.”
“If that’s really the case, haven’t we wasted all that time and not cultivated a single mutated Holy Ant?” Yang Chen revealed a bitter smile on his face.
How could it be like this?
He had spent so much effort and resources, yet not a single one was cultivated. With the initial mutations being so difficult, Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed by the thought of how challenging it would be for the Holy Ants to evolve into Sacred Spirit Ants in the future.
However, just as both he and Yun Lu were feeling disheartened, something suddenly changed.
Among the two Holy Ants, the first one that had been lively and jumping around had failed and died during the final stage of its evolution. Surprisingly, the one that was originally at its last breath had jumped up.
Its wings were vibrating at an incredible speed, so fast that Yang Chen couldn’t keep track. As it vibrated rapidly, its body color began to subtly change, becoming somewhat similar to the color of Brass Sand.
Red-gold color!
The color of this Holy Ant had changed from its original gold to red-gold.
Apart from that, this Holy Ant had become more aggressive than before, buzzing and dashing around chaotically in the surrounding area. It was evident that it was in an extremely excited state!
Yun Lu hurriedly subdued the Holy Ant, while Yang Chen curiously asked, “Senior Yun Lu, has this Holy Ant succeeded in mutating?”
“I don’t know yet, but it’s simple. Young Master, why don’t we find a few batches of Holy Ants to test it out?” Yun Lu spoke excitedly. Seeing that the Holy Ant seemed to have successfully mutated, she was of course delighted because her efforts were also part of this process.
Yang Chen quickly nodded.
The color of the mutated Holy Ant had become red-gold. So, Yang Chen and Yun Lu named it Red Gold Holy Ant!
“The strength of this Red Gold Holy Ant, if measured according to Martial Arts Cultivation, should be equivalent to the Humans’ Sixth Level of Origin Martial Realm. So, we need to find a few non-mutated Holy Ants at the Sixth Level of Origin Martial Realm to compare!” Yun Lu said as she summoned several Holy Ants that were equivalent to Human Martial Artists at the Sixth Level of Origin Martial Realm.
“One on one, fight!” Yun Lu instantly commanded.
On one side were the Holy Ants, and on the other side was the Red Gold Holy Ant.
Their strength was very similar, with the only difference being one had mutated and the other hadn’t!
At Yun Lu’s command, the two sides quickly tangled together, wrestling and biting each other. The result was determined quickly. It was only a moment’s effort before the Red Gold Holy Ant emerged as the overwhelming victor!
Instants kill.
The ordinary Holy Ants were completely devoured, leaving not even a trace behind. The difference in combat power between them and the Red Gold Holy Ant was just too vast.
Yang Chen and Yun Lu were both left dumbstruck in amazement.
Yun Lu exclaimed in joy, “Young Master, after the mutation, the biting ability of the Red Gold Holy Ant has become even stronger. And its speed has also increased by at least twice! It seems that it has indeed successfully mutated!”
“Haha, Senior Yun Lu, I really have to thank you.” Yang Chen laughed.
There was no need to say more about whether the mutation was successful or not. The difference between the two sides was just too great.
Yang Chen also wanted to know what the Red Gold Holy Ant was like in its peak state, so he let Yun Lu control three more Holy Ants to test it. To his surprise, the Red Gold Holy Ant was still able to fend off three Holy Ants singlehandedly with ease.
Although it was a bit troublesome, in the end, the three Holy Ants were still defeated and devoured by the Red Gold Holy Ant, leaving nothing behind!
Yang Chen could not fully understand the extent of the Red Gold Holy Ant’s strength, but he knew that it was at least four times stronger than these ordinary Holy Ants, if not more.
If the number of these Red Gold Holy Ants were to increase in the future, Yang Chen took a deep breath, without a doubt, he would possess, as Yun Lu had said, a great army capable of challenging a sect.
Although ordinary Holy Ants were formidable in large numbers, they were too dependent on their quantity. A single one could not stand up against a human martial artist, and even ten or more were not enough. They needed to multiply in large quantities into trillions before being effective.
However, the Red Gold Holy Ant had overcome this problem. Even on its own, it was still ferocious like a Fierce Tiger!
“It’s a pity, Senior Yun Lu. What method can be used to mass-produce these Red Gold Holy Ants?” Yang Chen asked.
“The only way is to cultivate another male Red Gold Holy Ant using Brass Sand, and then have it mate with this female Red Gold Holy Ant. That way, it will be easier to increase their numbers. So, the fastest method now is still to cultivate another Red Gold Holy Ant.” Yun Lu said.
Yang Chen took the Red Gold Holy Ant out of the Eight Extremities Flowing River and observed it carefully. Then, with a bitter sigh, he said, “It seems we’ll have to keep cultivating slowly. There’s no use being impatient right now.”
Although the Red Gold Holy Ant was indeed formidable, cultivating it at the moment was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
With this thought in mind, Yang Chen turned his attention to Mang Ge and the other three Demonic Beasts at the Eighth Level of the True Martial Realm, asking, “Mang Ge, have there been any movements around us?”
Mang Ge respectfully replied, “Young Master, there hasn’t been any movements nearby in these past ten days or so. However, we have noticed some fluctuations in Qi from a distance, but it’s too far away to tell what is happening.”
“From a distance…” Yang Chen rubbed his eyebrows.
He suddenly remembered that he had been staying here for more than ten days.
During these ten days, there must have been other people continuously entering the Second Floor. Not to mention the second group of powerful senior members who should have entered the Secret Realm through the second entrance.
Those powerful senior members had much more advanced techniques than these geniuses, making their chances of entering the Secret Realm higher.
Yang Chen secretly sighed, “I need to be even more cautious.”
“Young Master, there’s something I don’t know if I should say,” Mr. Huang hesitated.
Yang Chen looked at Mr. Huang, who was struggling to speak, and asked curiously, “Mang Ge, what do you want to say?”
“Young Master, before being imprisoned by the Tiandu Emperor, I was regarded as an outstanding existence among my clan. At that time, our Demon Beast Clan would participate in a trial called the Awakening Ceremony,” Mang Ge said.
“Hmm, go on?” Yang Chen knew that Mang Ge wouldn’t bring this up out of nowhere.
With a heavy tone, Mang Ge continued, “This Awakening Ceremony is open only to very outstanding Demonic Beasts. Once awakened, their strength will skyrocket. I was fortunate enough to participate in the Awakening Ceremony, but it’s a pity that I was one of the failures.”
“Mang Ge, you’re already pretty strong even though you failed the Awakening, so how much stronger would a successful one be?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but be surprised.
“An awakened Demonic Beast would be much stronger than I am now. Take Yun Ge, for example, it’s one of the successfully awakened ones. It could easily defeat several Demonic Beasts like me,” Mang Ge let out a sigh, feeling very inferior.
