Chapter 1062

This sudden change caught everyone from the three major forces off guard!

The morale that had just been built up was completely disintegrated at this moment!

Hundreds of thousands of Vitality Ants compared to their group of over one hundred people—in terms of numbers alone, it was already a complete crushing, and there was simply no comparison!

If it weren't for the two early-stage Earth Immortal Realm experts, Lin Baiwan and Yao Gongming, plus Li Tianxun, an expert at the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, these hundred-plus Human Immortal Realm cultivators would probably have been scared out of their wits and defeated without a fight!

However, as long as there were Earth Immortal Realm experts present, they could barely maintain a trace of composure.

After all, those hundreds of thousands of Vitality Ants were, in the final analysis, only comparable to the cultivation of the Half-Immortal Realm and Human Immortal Realm, with only those Queen Ants comparable to the early stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.

But in front of a mid-stage Earth Immortal Realm expert, this number of Queen Ants was not a threat. As long as the Ant King did not appear, they still had the strength to fight. Although this battle would be extremely difficult, it was better than despair!

"Damn it! We've been tricked!" Lin Huan said with a face full of annoyance, unable to figure out why Xu Que and the others were fine when they went in, but as soon as they arrived, they attracted such a terrifying offensive!

"Stop talking nonsense, follow me and kill your way in!" Li Tianxun said with a gloomy face, soaring into the air, his killing intent sweeping across the entire field!

At this time, only he could stand out first. Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through. And taking advantage of the fact that the Ant King had not yet appeared, the closer he could get to the Ant King's nest, the closer he would be to his goal!

Lin Baiwan and Yao Gongming also looked at each other, each harboring their own ulterior motives, and immediately followed Li Tianxun forward.

In the past, they would definitely have chosen to retreat. After all, the gap in strength between the enemy and themselves was too great; charging forward would be a loss that outweighed the gain, or even a dead end!

But now, not only was Li Tianxun clearing the way in front, but after finding Xu Que, there was a great chance to return to the Xuanhuang Continent, and they didn't want to miss it!

Thus, a battle with the overwhelming advantage of the Vitality Ant Tribe began!

Li Tianxun didn't put much energy into saving his own people at all; all he wanted was to break through and reach the Ant King's nest as soon as possible. And Lin Baiwan and Yao Gongming only thought about taking advantage by following behind Li Tianxun, almost without having to exert much effort, and rushed through all the way.

In the end, with all three Earth Immortal Realm experts slacking off, the members of the three major forces were in a miserable situation, falling one after another, and were instantly torn to pieces by the Ant Tribe!

Meanwhile, in the Ant King's nest.

Xu Que and his group, led by the Ant King Qian Guowan, bypassed one complex passage after another, constantly going deep underground toward the cave heaven area at the very bottom.

According to Qian Guowan, that cave heaven was originally a temporary retreat cave mansion set up by that ruthless person back then. The Ant Tribe was only responsible for standing guard above. The so-called Ant King's nest, if placed in a human residence, was equivalent to a small house for guards or servants, and could not be compared with that cave heaven at all.

However, because of the long passage of time, that cave heaven had already been shattered, and the space was countless times smaller than it was back then, remaining only the size of a mountain cave. But the important locations were barely preserved well. After all, according to the ancestral teachings passed down by the Ant Tribe, except for the Ant Tribe leader, no one else was allowed to enter.

Now that Xu Que had come in the capacity of "Master" and wanted to enter to take a look, Qian Guowan naturally dared not say a word of opposition and led Xu Que and his group there with extreme enthusiasm and respect.

Soon, Xu Que saw the cave heaven that Fu Shanchuan had mentioned.

At first glance, it really was no different from an ordinary mountain cave, but in reality, it was filled with restrictions, and the spiritual energy and Life and Death Rules were extremely rich. If one were to cultivate here, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort!

"Interesting, this place is actually a treasure land. No wonder they chose to open a cave mansion here!" Xu Que said with a smile after taking a look.

He guessed that this place must have possessed a huge spirit vein a long time ago, but after the cave mansion was opened, most of the spirit energy of the spirit vein was absorbed, but the root remained and could still slowly recover. Therefore, the spiritual energy and Life and Death Rules of this cave heaven were much richer than those outside.

However, what really caught Xu Que's attention were the rule fragments that Fu Shanchuan had mentioned!

This was a species Xu Que had never seen before. In his view, the rules of heaven and earth should be invisible and intangible, a kind of perception of the divine soul, and could not be materialized!

But in this cave heaven, Xu Que saw small fragments, each with a different shape and size, like broken pieces of glass. But these fragments were as thin as cicada wings, crystal clear and brilliant, and surrounded by wisps of turbid black and white halos.

"Life and Death Qi! There is actually such pure Life and Death Qi?" Xu Que was startled.

He cultivated the Reincarnation Palm and was extremely sensitive to vitality and death qi. Even though he could control quite a few Life and Death Rules in this place, he had never seen such pure and rich Life and Death Rules!

A single fragment alone carried enough Life and Death Rules to be comparable to all the Life and Death Rules circulating in the spiritual energy within the entire eastern suburb area.

No wonder! No wonder Fu Shanchuan said that one rule fragment could make up for the Life and Death Rules missing from a Xuanhuang Continent cultivator's entire life of cultivation. This is indeed a good thing!

"Master, we have never dared to use these rule fragments, but because of these fragments, a Vitality Tree grew in this cave heaven. Every thousand years, it bears a grain of Golden Vitality Rice, and each grain possesses tens of thousands of years of vitality and lifespan. And after we pick these Golden Vitality Rice, we have always treasured them well." At this moment, Qian Guowan spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xu Que raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand, and said: "Where are they hidden? Take them out quickly and let me see, to prove you aren't bragging!"

"Ah?"

Qian Guowan was stunned. What did "bragging" mean?

However, he dared not ask more. Since it was the Master's thing and the Master wanted to see it, he certainly had to take it out. Otherwise, why would they have treasured it for so many years without daring to use it?

"Master, all the high-grade Vitality Rice is here!" Immediately, Qian Guowan took out a crystal-clear jade box and handed it to Xu Que.

Stored in the jade box were six grains of Vitality Rice, each golden-yellow, like thumb-sized golden rice grains, very beautiful.

"Only six grains?" Xu Que asked suspiciously.

Qian Guowan hurriedly replied: "Master, this Vitality Tree only matured and began bearing rice six thousand years ago, so there are only six grains of Golden Vitality Rice to date!"

"Hmm, well, six grains are just enough to take back for my six children to play with!" Xu Que nodded, pretending to be profound, and very skillfully put the jade box away.

Qian Guowan's face was full of shock, secretly clicking his tongue. This Master's bone age looked like it wasn't even a hundred years old, yet he actually had six children?

Truly amazing!

No wonder even our Ant Tribe... uh, no, no, as subordinates, our Ant Tribe shouldn't have such thoughts. Absolutely must not let Yi'er climb up to the Master, otherwise, if that main wife is angered, it won't be good!
