Chapter 985

Jun Xiaoyao grew up in an ancient, forgotten clan, so his vision was naturally extraordinary.

He saw at a glance that the tiny figure wrapped inside the purple-gold cocoon was none other than the legendary Divine Demon Ant.

From its appearance, it was merely a tiny, almost unnoticeable ant.

But this race was even rarer than pure-blooded true dragons.

It controlled the ultimate law of force.

It also possessed its race’s unique Divine Demon Great Power technique.

By the way, this race's Divine Demon Great Power technique is sufficient to rival my own Peng Great Power and Lei Di Great Power, Jun Xiaoyao thought.

And the Divine Demon Great Power technique had another aspect that intrigued Jun Xiaoyao.

That is, when fully comprehended, it granted mastery over the law of force.

In the Supreme Realm, possessing one additional law could make one vastly stronger than other Supremes.

“No wonder Tian Canzi and others coveted it—even I’m tempted,” Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

His gaze turned again to the Pool of Laws, where a blood-red spiritual herb floated.

Around it swirled the spectral shadows of ten thousand spirits.

“This is the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Herb.”

Jun Xiaoyao finally understood why a massive ancient array lay beneath the purple-gold ancient city.

It was collecting the blood qi, laws, and dao bones of all slain lifeforms within the entire Heaven Burial Forest.

These energies were ultimately channeled underground into the purple-gold ancient city, forming the Pool of Laws to nurture the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Herb.

It also served to provide energy for the little Divine Demon Ant.

The Pool of Laws was essentially a nutrient pool.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Herb was an even greater tonic—once the little Divine Demon Ant emerged from its cocoon, it could consume it and grow rapidly.

“Truly a painstaking effort.”

Jun Xiaoyao couldn’t help but sigh.

He could sense the pure, surging power sealed within the purple-gold cocoon.

The little Divine Demon Ant inside was likely a direct descendant of an Emperor clan.

In other words, it was the child of an Emperor.

This was the real deal—my son has the bearing of an Emperor.

“The Divine Demon Ant race has produced many strong ones, but in this recent age, the most famous figure was surely the Divine Demon Emperor.”

The Divine Demon Emperor fought in the Two Worlds War and was a true hero.

He had slain more than one Immortal King.

In the end, he was struck down by a Catastrophic-level Immortal from the Alien Realm.

Even then, he fought for a long time, and only fell after being surrounded and cut down by several other Immortal Kings.

This shows just how resilient this race is.

“If I gave the Divine Demon Ant the Immortal Indestructibility Technique from the Book of Life, wouldn’t it become an indestructible little pest?”

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly thought of this idea and found it amusing.

But first, he needed to see how the little Divine Demon Ant would react.

Jun Xiaoyao had already begun formulating plans.

But he wouldn’t take this Divine Demon Ant as a follower.

After all, it was the descendant of a hero—being a friend or even a little brother would be fine.

“Still, this Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Herb could help me.”

Jun Xiaoyao didn’t hesitate—he plucked the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Herb and placed it inside his Inner Universe.

After his breakthrough to the Supreme Realm, the Heavenly Immortal Fruit alone wouldn’t suffice.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Herb solved his immediate need.

“Alright, I won’t take advantage of you.”

Jun Xiaoyao thought for a moment, then extended a finger.

Instantly, a single drop of Chaotic Blood appeared.

This wasn’t just any drop of blood.

It was a drop of Chaotic Essence Blood forced from his heart.

Just this one drop of Chaotic Essence Blood was worth at least as much as, if not more than, the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Herb.

The Chaotic Essence Blood landed on the purple-gold cocoon.

A surge of powerful energy began to ripple, like crashing waves.

That energy felt as if some primordial great monster had awakened.

Yet it was merely an ant the size of a thumb.

Crack!

Nourished by the Chaotic Essence Blood, the purple-gold cocoon began to crack.

Finally, a tiny lifeform emerged from within.

It was an ant roughly the length of a thumb.

Its entire body glowed purple-gold, as if forged from celestial gold.

It had six legs; the front two resembled arms, complete with human-like palms.

It looked almost anthropomorphic.

On its head sat a pair of ant antennae.

At this moment, the little Divine Demon Ant seemed confused, touching its own antennae with its hands.

But as its antennae trembled, it immediately sensed a dark aura.

“Alien lifeform—die!”

A voice, both childish and clear, rang from the little Divine Demon Ant.

It saw Jun Xiaoyao, its eyes instantly turned red, blazing with hatred.

It leapt three feet high, moving with incredible speed, punching straight at Jun Xiaoyao.

Though merely a tiny ant, its punch carried the law of force, shattering the void.

“Supreme…” Jun Xiaoyao immediately recognized the little Divine Demon Ant’s realm.

Strictly speaking, the little Divine Demon Ant was a Seed-level figure, having slumbered for a long time.

And given it was a direct descendant of an Emperor, having a Supreme cultivation base was perfectly normal.

Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand to block.

The size difference between them was absurd, almost comical.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao felt a crushing force like that of a primordial beast.

It was as if he faced a star-swallowing ancient beast.

The power was overwhelming, shaking the entire cosmos!

Fortunately, Jun Xiaoyao’s current body was the Chaotic Body, inherently strong.

Otherwise, any other body type—except perhaps the top dozen—would have been obliterated by that punch.

“Chaotic Body?”

The little Divine Demon Ant paused in surprise, yet still charged recklessly at Jun Xiaoyao.

“Wait, don’t be impulsive,” Jun Xiaoyao tried to explain.

“I have nothing to say to you alien lifeforms!”

The little Divine Demon Ant was furious, throwing punch after punch, each one blazing brilliantly.

Its entire body pulsed with intertwined purple-gold and crimson blood qi.

That was the Divine Demon Ant’s Force Bloodline—immensely powerful.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Jun Xiaoyao and the little ant exchanged punches, each strike breaking the sound barrier and exploding the void.

Jun Xiaoyao was astonished.

He hadn’t used his full strength, yet he was a Chaotic Body.

Still, the little ant’s power matched his exactly.

No wonder—the Divine Demon Ant controlled the ultimate law of force.

“Wait, I’m not an alien lifeform,” Jun Xiaoyao said.

He intended to confess the truth.

“Don’t try to deceive me—my ant-sense detects your filthy, dark aura!” the little Divine Demon Ant shouted, its voice clear and childish.

Its antennae possessed extraordinary spiritual perception.

Jun Xiaoyao sighed helplessly, but he understood.

After all, its father was surely the fallen Divine Demon Emperor.

If Jun Xiaoyao’s own father, Jun Wu-hui, had perished at the hands of the Alien Realm, he too would have gone mad.

“If I were your enemy, I wouldn’t have used Chaotic Essence Blood to nourish and awaken you—I’d have simply refined you,” Jun Xiaoyao sighed.

The little Divine Demon Ant froze, finally realizing.

The Little Divine Demon Ant paused, only then noticing.

A surge of immensely potent chaotic energy was nourishing its revived body.

It was precisely chaotic blood essence.

The Little Divine Demon Ant temporarily halted its attack, its large eyes still brimming with intense hostility, fixed firmly on Jun Xiaoyao.

“I won’t be fooled—what are you scheming?” the Little Divine Demon Ant was highly wary.
