Chapter 2694 The Empress Core of All Insects' New Ability!
The sand was Lin Yuan's eyes.
Lin Yuan knew that Liu Jie had been secretly nurturing the Empress Core of All Insects.
Lin Yuan used True Data to pass through the layers of Overlord Sand and Close Guard Sand to detect the Empress Core of All Insects.
[Sacred Source Name]: Empress Core of All Insects
[Sacred Source Species]: Source genus/Sacred Source species
[Sacred Source Star Grade]: 7
[Sacred Source Type]: Insect
Abilities:
[Final Weapon]: Fuse with a lifeform related to insects. The stronger the procreative ability of the lifeform, the stronger the abilities of the fused entity will be. The lifeform's vitality and procreative ability will be used up to become the final shield of all insects.
[Empress's Revival]: By using up a large amount of vitality, the lifeform's genetic model can be triggered to revive the insect empress' genetic model and will be used on the final weapon. The empress of insects will descend. Before she disappears, the insect-species lifeform will be able to receive the benefit of the empress once.
[Providing for All Insects]: Once all of the insects in the area that were under the control of the Empress Core of All Insects died, their bodies, souls, and wills will gather around the target that is being boosted. They will eventually turn into energy for the target. The target will become stirred up, and its resistance to various elements will be raised.
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the Empress Core of All Insects.
Lin Yuan genuinely did not like the Empress Core of All Insects and had not wanted Liu Jie to form a contract with it.
Final Weapon was suitable to be combined with Elegance.
Elegance was a powerful production entity. After the Empress Core of All Insects fused with Elegance, its power would be significantly boosted. However, it would cause Elegance to lose its reproductive abilities while continuously draining its vitality. Hence, any insect-species lifeform with reproductive abilities would not truly benefit from fusing with the Empress Core of All Insects.
Liu Jie would never use Final Weapon flippantly in real life.
Chubby Pocket was an insect-species carcinoma fey that could fight on its own. It did not have a particularly strong reproductive ability. Thus, it would not receive an impactful boost when it fused with the Empress Core of All Insects through Final Weapon.
Nonetheless, Chubby Pocket's overall power would still be increased by at least twice.
Although Chubby Pocket did not have reproductive abilities, it did contain substantial vitality. The vitality would be continuously used up in exchange for boosting Chubby Pocket's power.
Lin Yuan had not truly understood the Empress Core of All Insects' Empress' Revival the last time that he saw it. This was because the genetic model that would be activated came from the Empress Core of All Insects and not the insect-species carcinoma fey that Liu Jie controlled.
Once this genetic model was activated, the boosted Final Weapon would have the might of an empress.
It was only when Lin Yuan went to the alien insect world and witnessed the might of an alien insect empress that he understood what kind of genetic model would be activated when Empress' Revival was used.
The Empress Core of All Insects had to have come from an alien insect empress that had died.
Although the alien insect that combined with the Empress Core of All Insects would be perpetually boosted—if Lin Yuan had not used the Jasmine Lily and opened the Vitality Imprint as well as the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's Sacred Sword form's healing abilities—Liu Jie's Insect Queen would have died while in the empress state.
Liu Jie would not have many opportunities in real life to use this ability that required healing-type spirit qi professionals to constantly be present to help sustain the effects.
Lin Yuan asked Liu Jie never to use the Empress Core of All Insects' first two abilities unless he was with him to support him.
Presently, Liu Jie mainly relied on insect-species carcinoma feys to fight.
But as Liu Jie's spirit qi professional rank continued to rise, by the time Elegance reached Eternal Breed, the combat power of Elegance's insect army would be even stronger than insect-species carcinoma feys!
The insect-species carcinoma feys could not be evolved like regular feys even after being transformed into fairies. Moreover, the evolution also needed the fairy bloodline to be balanced while they were being nurtured.
If Lin Yuan summoned the eight-winged Red Thorn now, the pressure from its bloodline would already have put an end to the battle. Additionally, the pressure between fairies was stronger than dragon-species feys.
This was the first time Lin Yuan saw the Empress Core of All Insects' Providing for All Insects.
In Lin Yuan's opinion, Providing for All Insects revitalized both Final Weapon and Empress' Revival and lifted their restrictions.
Poison Beauty and Lu Shuang were Lin Yuan's biggest beneficiaries. They managed to become the most popular hosts in the Radiance Federation because of him.
Lu Shuang and Poison Beauty became friends after an offline event. They decided to live-stream together this time. They connected their channels and commentated on the battles together.
Their channel had entered the Glorious Popularity Ranking and reached the sixth place. It was a big honor for Star Web hosts to made it into this ranking!
When Lu Shuang heard what Poison Beauty said, she felt that Poison Beauty's view was too naive.
As a direct participant, Liu Jie was choosing to attack the ball of sand in the sky rather than the sand below him because his army of insects had been destroyed, and he had no other choice.
Lu Shuang had battled Lin Yuan in the past. She saw him as a hardened vault who was always hiding more moves up his sleeve.
After using the full extent of her capabilities, she had been under the impression that the Exquisite Rhino Giraffe would be able to kill Lin Yuan. However, all that had happened was that eight tails had appeared behind him.
There was no way that Lin Yuan was staying still within the ball and allowing Liu Jie to attack him at will!
The sand was raining down from the ball of sand in a waterfall that was ten meters wide. Lin Yuan could move himself at any time. There was no need for him to remain in the ball. This was unless Lin Yuan needed to seal himself away for the ball of sand resembling the sun to continue releasing sand.
The two hosts could have different opinions. The more popular the live-streaming rooms with opposing opinions, the more gifts the eventual victor would receive.
However, Lu Shuang did not end up speaking her mind.
Given that the ball of sand in the sky was expanding, it was as though Lin Yuan could tell that Liu Jie was attacking and was trying to defend himself.
Lu Shuang kept her eyes glued to the ball of sand and awaited the next attack—it would decide the result of this battle.
Poison Beauty narrowed her eyes at Lu Shuang. Normally, Lu Shuang would respond with her own opinion after she gave hers. However, Lu Shuang had not picked up and added to what she said.
Poison Beauty was concerned that she had said something wrong.
It might go unnoticed if a small host misspoke. But she was already one of the biggest hosts on Star Web. Even the slightest of slips of the tongue would result in significant negative impacts.
Poison Beauty glanced at the comments and saw that they were mostly discussing the battle. No one had mentioned her.
Poison Beauty relaxed when she saw this.
When she looked back at the battle, Chubby Pocket had slammed into the rapidly expanding ball of sand with incredible force.
Poison Beauty assumed that the powerful Chubby Pocket would shatter the ball of sand. But to her surprise, all that happened was that Chubby Pocket's horn pierced through the ball of sand, leaving most of its body stuck outside.
After sustaining such immense force, the ball of sand's shape had changed. But almost immediately after, a burst of energy with equal force exploded from the site where Chubby Pocket had pierced through the ball of sand. As a result, cracks appeared all over Chubby Pocket.
Chubby Pocket managed to contain the damage by swiftly absorbing insect souls into its body.
Liu Jie had not anticipated this situation.
This was not because Liu Jie had not expected Lin Yuan to be powerful. He was well aware of Lin Yuan's true power.
However, Liu Jie also knew that Lin Yuan had only used the Source Sand so far in this battle.
The Source Sand's counterattack on Chubby Pocket caused a bitter smile to spread across Liu Jie's face.
He was not able to defeat the Source Sand even after using his sacred source lifeform, Elegance, and insect-species carcinoma feys.
Although Liu Jie was rather disheartened, he suddenly remembered something that Lin Yuan had said to him.
"Big Brother Liu, don't allow your thinking to be skewed when it comes to increasing your power. A person's value does not only come from his power. One's combat ability also adds to his value.
"Functional attributes are always more important than individual combat. It is easy to cultivate powerful experts, but mere resources won't be enough to produce a functional-type expert with irreplaceable skills!
"Big Brother Liu, you have already started going down a unique path that will afford you special abilities. This is an important strategic foundation for Sky City. So, there is no need for you to be overly concerned about your strength on the dueling ground."
At the time, Liu Jie had not understood why Lin Yuan said this. But now, he did.
