Chapter 110: Mother Queen Irina

Irina has ten thousand Origin Pearls in her body, each equivalent to a Realm Lord's soul, linked together by light, forming an unfathomable, peculiar network.

To enslave this Insect Queen, one must simultaneously control ten thousand soul Origin Pearls.

The golden soul emitted by the system, with extremely strong energy, simultaneously enters these ten thousand soul Origin Pearls.

The spherical Insect Tribe Mother Nest constantly trembles, and an unfathomable aura continuously strikes the surroundings, lifting the soil, stones, and vegetation on the ground with shockwaves.

Xiao Yu is currently only Stellar-level Ninth Tier, and cannot endure the shockwave emitted unconsciously by the Realm Lord.

Xiao Yu had no intention of testing his defensive ability; he immediately fled from here.

Inside the Insect Tribe Mother Nest, however, the scene is entirely different.

The ten thousand soul Origin Pearls are tinged a pale yellow by the golden soul's energy, and the color continues to deepen.

And Irina's resistance grows weaker, and the commotion she causes also diminishes.

"Master, the principles I have currently comprehended are still far from achieving Immortal status; if you wish to accelerate the rate of comprehension, for now continuously creating Realm Lord Level Insect warriors will suffice," Irina said, her eyes flashing, smiling softly.

"Swoosh!"

When the outside world regains cohesion.

"Master, look, this is the Tiger Shell Insect Tribe," Irina pointed at the empty ground beside her.

"During my growth I early selected three primary Insect warrior types; now I excel at creating these three. The first is the Tiger Shell Insect Tribe, a branch of the heavily powered armored Insect Tribe, known as the Yan Tan Insect Tribe," Irina said softly.

A formation of Tiger Shell Insect Tribe warriors is the hardest to crush. And once all Tiger Shell Insect Tribe warriors form an endless sea of insects and begin slaughtering, they become the most terrifying.

Even a million-strong Insect army can cause a Seal King Level Immortal to avoid its edge.

【Wish has been fulfilled!】

"Insect warriors, Irina, which types are you proficient at creating?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Irina, with your current Realm Lord peak power, how should one ascend to become Immortal? Or how long does it take to ascend to Immortal?" Xiao Yu asked, noting that although he may not have the strength now to help her ascend, it will certainly be no problem later.

The Tiger Shell Insect Tribe belongs to the siege-type Insect tribes, sharing a common trait of the Armored Insect Tribe—strong defense! The Tiger Shell Insect Tribe is famed for its strength and is undoubtedly the finest Insect warrior in siege battles.

"Master." A gentle voice sounded as the Insect Queen slightly bowed in salute.

Xiao Yu moved closer to the Insect Tribe Mother Nest again.

A delicate figure flew out from a pit in the Mother Nest, which was covered with poisonous liquid and gas, then drifted onto the forest ground; its butterfly-like wings fluttered gently in the wind, and a pair of captivating azure eyes gazed affectionately at Xiao Yu as if he were her dearest, while a faint mist naturally enveloped her face, rendering it hazy.

Out of nowhere appeared a creature over ten stories tall, immensely robust, its entire body sheathed in an extremely thick carapace; its head bore oval compound eyes, fully protected by a fiery red shell, as if a warrior's helmet were firmly in place.

The front chest bore a plated armor with fierce spikes, and stout, powerful, curved hind limbs supported its body.

The carapace of this Tiger Shell Insect Tribe is entirely fiery red.

"This is a Realm Lord Peak-level Tiger Shell Insect Tribe," Irina introduced, "At the moment I have only eleven Realm Lord Peak Insect warriors left here, three of which are Tiger Shell Insect Tribe. The rest were all exhausted in previous battles."

"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded, "What are the other two Insect types you say you excel at cultivating?"

"The second is a branch of the Shadow-type Insect Tribe, the Fengying Insect Tribe, called the Nasta Insect Tribe, a legendary Insect tribe that once gave rise to a super Insect species," Irina said softly.

The Nasta Insect Tribe belongs to the Assassin-type Insect tribes, characterized by extremely fast speed and strong attack power, with the sole weakness of a frail body.

"The final type belongs to the largest category of my Insect tribes, one of the strongest among the Mantis-type Insect tribes—the Hunter Mantis Insect Tribe. The Hunter Mantis Insect Tribe I create is a branch called the Telo Tribe," Irina continued.

The Hunter Mantis Insect Tribe is the most powerful of the three Insect types Irina can create. It possesses a mighty body, astonishing speed, remarkable defense, incredibly agile evasion, and innate superior combat skills.

Naturally, the resources required to create one Hunter Mantis Insect Tribe equal those needed to produce five Fengying Insect Tribe or two Tiger Shell Insect Tribe of the same level.

"Now I have only eight Realm Lord Peak-level Hunter Mantis left," Irina said, pointing far across the empty ground, and a massive creature instantly appeared.

This Realm Lord Level Peak Hunter Mantis stands 24 meters tall.

It is a pure battle machine.

It is covered entirely with streamlined black scale armor, bearing teal patterns, stout lower limbs, two pairs of forelimbs resembling war blades, and sharp claws along the edges of the forelimbs.

A pair of prominent compound eyes, two sharp horns protruding from its head, and a mouth filled with dense, razor‑sharp teeth.

"Irina, what resources are required to cultivate Insect tribes?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Master, cultivating Insect tribes is divided into two modes." The previously released Hunter Mantis and Tiger Shell Insect Tribes were re‑absorbed into Irina's internal world.

"Tell me everything." Xiao Yu listened attentively.

"The first type involves mass‑producing Stellar-level and Universe-level Insect tribes, then, like raising poisonous insects, allowing them to kill each other internally, devouring one another until only one remains—the survivor is unquestionably the finest. This mode yields a Realm Lord Peak that is ten times stronger than a typical Realm Lord Peak and can be called a King," Irina continued.

"The second type is the normal cultivation mode; with sufficient resources one can directly cultivate Realm Lord Peak Insect tribes. This method has high energy efficiency and fast cultivation time. Of course, its potential and strength cannot match the King Insect tribes produced by the first mode."

"Creating a King Insect tribe requires consuming a hundred times the resources of an ordinary Insect tribe of the same level."

"Tell me about the resources consumed under the normal cultivation mode." Although these are not currently considerations for him, gaining prior knowledge is still useful.

"Master, there are three types of resources consumed in cultivating Insect tribes," Irina smiled, "The first is direct consumption of Universe Crystals. The second is gathering large amounts of metal alloy debris, blood of strong individuals or beasts, and gelatinous materials such as scale skin, tendons, and similar. The third is collecting vast numbers of Insect corpses; as I know, the Human Race has gathered many Insect corpses from the Outer Realm Battlefield, and if they can be obtained at a very low price, it is still acceptable."

"The specifics depend on the Master's ability."

"If using Universe Crystals, tell me the approximate consumption," Xiao Yu asked.

"A Realm Lord Peak-level Shadow Blade Insect Tribe needs 10 Mixed Yuan Units of Universe Crystals, a Realm Lord Peak-level Tiger Shell Insect Tribe needs 25 Mixed Yuan Units, and a Hunter Mantis Insect Tribe needs 50 Mixed Yuan Units." Irina said.

King Insect tribes require a hundredfold resources; a King Hunter Mantis needs 5,000 Mixed Yuan Units, comparable to the wealth of an ordinary Immortal Military Lord.
