Chapter 159 Dragon Calm Flame Insect
Its overall outline resembles the Tyrannosaurus Rex that dominated the land in ancient legends, but its ferocity is far beyond imagination!
Its entire body was covered with layers upon layers of dark golden scales, several kilometers thick! Each scale flowed with a blazing luster like magma, and was engraved with natural defensive runes! Its head was as huge as a mountain, topped with a pair of curved, slanted spiral horns pointing to the sky, as if they could pierce the stars!
Its hind limbs, thick enough to support the heavens, are deeply embedded in the ground, while its forelimbs, relatively short, are covered with ferocious bone blades and claws!
A long tail covered in bone spurs, as long as a mountain range, tore through space with just a gentle sway, creating a howling hurricane!
It stood there like a moving, ancient volcano burning with a destructive will!
A dark and violent aura spread out like a tangible shockwave, causing even the stable space constructed by Lin Yi's divine power to groan under its strain! Those giant eyes, burning with dark red flames, were filled with pure killing intent and a desire for destruction!
"Master, please look," Elisa's voice rang with pride, "This is the strongest single-target offensive warrior I can currently cultivate—a Venerable-level Dragon Tank Flame Worm!"
"Venerable level?" A look of surprise flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. This size and this aura were even more domineering than he had expected!
Elisa explained, "Master, the advantage of Zerg warriors lies in their numbers and coordination, not their individual size. The larger they are, the more resources they need to maintain the same level of defense, strength, and energy regeneration!"
This Dragonfire Insect is the largest I can achieve while maintaining absolute destructive power! Every claw, every strike, every bite, even a single charge from its horns, contains the power to shatter the core of a star! Its defensive scales can withstand several full-force attacks from an ordinary Universe Venerable without damage!
Lin Yi stepped forward with great interest.
Before this Dragonfire Worm, which resembled an ancient demonic mountain, his figure was as insignificant as dust.
As if patting an old friend on the shoulder, he casually reached out and gently patted the thigh of the behemoth covered in blazing dark gold scales, which resembled a city wall.
"Thump—!!!"
A muffled, deafening roar, like the collision of stars, suddenly exploded!
Centered on the point where Lin Yi's palm landed, a visible spatial ripple suddenly spread out!
The Dragonfire Worm, towering over a hundred kilometers tall and weighing more than countless stars, trembled violently with its massive, mountain-like body! Its hind limbs, covered in hard scales and resembling towering pillars, seemed to be crushed by an irresistible force of heaven and earth, groaning under the unbearable weight, and then crashing down!
"Thump!"
This terrifying behemoth, exuding an aura of savage tyranny, was actually—forced to kneel on one knee by Lin Yi's seemingly casual slap!
Dark red, magma-like blood seeped from the gaps in its knee scales, scorching the ground with a hissing sound!
"Huh?!" Elisa next to her was instantly flustered! Her confident and proud purple-gold eyes suddenly widened, and her rosy lips parted slightly, wide enough to fit a planet inside!
That face, which could captivate all beings, was now filled with nothing but utter shock and disbelief!
"This—how is this possible?!" she exclaimed in shock.
This is her most prized Venerable-level Dragon Tan Flame Worm!
Her masterpiece! Its power and defense are enough to make it stand out among its peers!
Yet, under its master's casual, completely nonchalant strike—it was in such a sorry state?!
Lin Yi, however, nodded in satisfaction as if he had done something insignificant: "Hmm, solid foundation, astonishing defense. It seems that even a cosmic overlord would find it difficult to completely annihilate it with a single blow."
He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Elisa, and issued the long-awaited command: "Elisa, I want you to—mass-produce these Dragonfire Worms!"
"And!" Lin Yi's voice was resolute, carrying an undeniable will, "Cultivate them—all of them—into 'royal blood'!"
"Royal family?!"
Elisa snapped out of her shock and her purple-gold pupils contracted sharply upon hearing the word "royalty"!
Of course she understood what "royalty" meant!
The conventional method of Zerg breeding involves directly injecting massive amounts of resources to rapidly mass-produce mature warriors. This method is efficient, fast, and has a high resource utilization rate, but like products on an assembly line, their potential is fixed, they lack growth potential, and their individual combat strength is only considered excellent among their peers.
And the cultivation of "royal family" —
It is a cruel yet sacred evolutionary ritual!
Elisa first needs to expend resources to massively cultivate billions of immortal-level Dragonfire Worm larvae. Then, she will throw these larvae, carrying her will and expectations, into a huge, sealed killing furnace!
No rules! No mercy!
Only the most primitive and bloody law of the jungle—devouring and evolution!
The weak are torn apart and devoured!
Powerful individuals accumulate energy through endless killing and plundering, constantly evolving and transforming!
Every step of evolution, every devouring, will fundamentally temper their soul, will, body, and fighting instincts!
When only one victor remains in that enormous furnace—
It is the ultimate killing weapon that crawled out of the blood sea of Hushan!
It is the king of the Dragon Tan Flame Insect clan!
It will possess terrifying combat power far exceeding that of ordinary counterparts, near-limitless growth potential, and an innate killing intent!
The value of one "royal" Dragon Tan Flame Insect is comparable to that of ten, or even a hundred, ordinary Venerable-level Dragon Tan Flame Insects!
Elisa took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, her expression becoming extremely solemn: "Master, the cultivation of royalty—comes at an enormous cost!"
She clearly stated the key point: "The resources required to cultivate one ordinary Venerable-level Dragonfire Worm are roughly equivalent to a decent ordinary treasure."
""
"And to cultivate a 'royal' Dragon Tan Flame Worm—"
Elisa's voice carried a heavy tone: "—Not only does it require a hundred times the basic resource investment of an ordinary individual, but it also results in the loss of a massive amount of energy essence during that brutal process of devouring and evolving! The final cost—"
1
She spoke slowly and deliberately: "The resources needed to cultivate one King-level Dragonfire Insect are enough to cultivate one hundred ordinary Venerable-level Dragonfire Insects!"
"And one hundred ordinary Venerable-level Dragonfire Insects can kill several King-level Dragonfire Insects!"
"Master—" Elisa looked at Lin Yi, her purple-gold eyes filled with inquiry and confirmation, "Are you—are you sure you want to cultivate the King-level Dragon Tank Flame Insect?"
Lin Yi met her gaze, his deep eyes unwavering. "I'm sure!"
"I'll take care of the resources for you!"
"What I want is an army of at least 1000 Dragon Tan Flame Worms!"
Lin Yi has no shortage of resources; what he needs are absolutely loyal Venerable-level warriors to make good use of the more than 1 purple cards he has drawn!
