Chapter 2712 - 2712: Sword Pointed at the Radiance Federation!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was true that Lin Yuan could produce explosive combat power when he fused with the Abyss Red Lotus, but he could not handle the neverending waves of dead spirits on his own.
Moreover, he would definitely attract Tower Canon’s attention once he exposed his power.
It was likely that Tower Canon already knew of his existence.
Once he revealed his power, he would be showing his hand to the Eight Pages of Tower Canon. This would not do Lin Yuan any good.
Presently, Lin Yuan could only place his hopes in Keira.
Lin Yuan could not help but sigh when he saw Keira continuously producing demon insect fetuses. He still had not accumulated enough power!
In his battle against Tower Canon, Lin Yuan felt as though he was being restrained.
He did not like to put all his eggs in one basket.
If he could protect the main world and defeat Tower Canon, he would need to prepare more secret weapons before heading to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
After Lin Yuan sent out his orders, all of the Samsara Realm Dictators jumped into action.
When the dead spirits crisis first broke out, all of the lifeforms in the dimensional worlds were affected, aside from the lifeforms in the alien insect dimensional world.
Only when the demon insects entered the scene did the lifeforms in the dimensional worlds get to rest. It also gave the Samsara Realm and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators free time. They had all been waiting for Lin Yuan to give them orders.
If Lin Yuan did not give them new orders, their existence would have no value.
Ever since Wen Yu started managing them, the model of the dimensional worlds’ armies was changed.
When the Samsara Realm Dictators received the news, they immediately relayed the news to the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators, Dictators, and Apostles.
The powerful Dictators and Apostles could use their own source-type power to resist death aura.
The real impact on the dimensional worlds was on the dimensional lifeforms that had yet to become Apostles.
The Dictators and Apostles worked together to capture dead dimensional lifeforms from the dead spirits waves and delivered them to Lin Yuan’s location.
The war between the dead spirits and demon insects was only officially beginning now.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on these new dead dimensional lifeforms.
Lin Yuan saw that the Disaster Transcending Deceased and Saw-Killing Dead Beasts were the best entities for killing the demon insects.
When the Disaster Transcending Deceased absorbed death aura, they would turn into fury spirits and enter the demon insects’ bodies to destroy their souls.
That method of combat allowed the Disaster Transcending Deceased to kill the demon insects endlessly while absorbing their soul energy, thereby raising their own grades.
This method of combat did not deplete any of their own resources and allowed the Disaster Transcending Deceased to kill at least 60,000 demon insects in the short span of an hour. It could construct the reproductive abilities of 1,000 demon insects every minute.
The Saw-Killing Dead Beasts used death aura in a similar way that Lin Yuan used spirit qi to use Spirit Essence Explosion.
When the Saw-Killing Dead Beasts activated death aura, sharp saw-like teeth were formed in their mouths. These teeth had the bite power to easily take the lives of the demon insects.
The Saw-Killing Dead Beasts were not as competent as the Disaster Transcending Deceased when it came to killing the demon insects, but there were many more of the Saw-Killing Dead Beasts.
The demon insects were also able to injure the Saw-Killing Dead Beasts.
However, the Saw-Killing Dead Beasts could recover their injuries by absorbing death aura. They could also consume the corpses of their comrades to reproduce. Hence, the Saw-Killing Dead Beasts’ numbers did not fall even after being attacked by the demon insects for an extended period.
Upon encountering these new dead dimensional lifeforms, Keira addressed Lin Yuan with a serious demeanor, saying, “Master, demon insects have boundless potential for evolution. If we can acquire the genes of these dead dimensional lifeforms, we can certainly create offspring capable of confronting them.
“However, generating targeted offspring is a time and energy-intensive process. Achieving this swiftly will necessitate a substantial energy investment. May I have your permission to transport these dead dimensional lifeforms and demon insect fetuses to the blessed territory to expedite the breeding process?
“I will produce five to ten specialized demon insects designed to combat the dead dimensional lifeforms and then determine which ones perform most effectively against the Disaster Transcending Deceased and Saw-Killing Dead Beasts.
“In the future, I intend to employ this approach each time a new kind of dead dimensional lifeform emerges.”
Keira spoke openly, with no hidden agenda. She wasn’t seeking any personal gain from the Spirit Lock spatial zone; her motive was simply to assist Lin Yuan with his issue.
She had already upset Lin Yuan and was now eager to make amends.
Upon hearing Keira’s words, Lin Yuan felt more at ease.
Her confidence in making such bold claims reassured him.
The Spirit Lock spatial zone had already grown to be half the size of the Xia Region.
While Hu Quan had been working on infrastructure in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, it covered only a small portion of the zone’s vast space.
Lin Yuan could allocate an area within the Spirit Lock spatial zone for Keira to establish her nest and settle down. This would enable him to utilize the abundant and boundless supply of pure spirit qi within the Spirit Lock spatial zone to nurture the demon insects he needed for his purposes.
“Keira, I know you desire the spirit qi in that space. I will allow you to build a nest according to your preferences in that space. You can stay there and focus on producing the demon insects for me! Feel free to let me know if you have any needs.
“Don’t forget to try your best to ensure that the female insects aren’t released. Tower Canon has probably already gathered experts to search for the female insects.”
In Lin Yuan’s opinion, the demon insects’ method of growing their species was
similar to the way that the insect-species carcinoma feys produced their insect
armies.The best way to handle the insect-species carcinoma feys was to capture the mothers and take control of them before moving on to handle the nest. Otherwise, the nest would only become larger unless an enormous amount of power was used to destroy the entire nest.
There was no way that Tower Canon was unaware of how to take control of and eliminate the demon insects.
Keira was overjoyed when she heard this.
The biggest blessing she could receive from Lin Yuan was the creation of a nest for her in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. If she could freely absorb spirit qi of such purity, her branch of the demon insects would be limitless! There was nothing else that Keira could hope for after receiving this blessing.
“Master, don’t worry. I will only send out the female insects with Class 2 and 3
Genetic Locks and keep the rest with me. I won’t let you down this time!”
While Lin Yuan was preparing for battle, Tower Canon was not idle either.
First Page Crimson, Second Page Warbler Candle, and the rest were anxiously waiting for news while Third Page Violet Light Green and Fourth Page Cavity Orchid went to make contact with Epoch God Palace.
Crimson was even prepared to take the rest of Tower Canon with him to hide again if Epoch God Palace refused to give Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid the chance to speak and killed them instantly.
They would then slow down the rate at which the dead world absorbed this Class 2 world’s roots so as to dodge Epoch God Palace’s attention while secretly investigating their objective.
If they came back with good news, confirming that Tower Canon and Epoch God Palace had compatible goals, Tower Canon would need to act swiftly. Their first task would be to eradicate the sudden emergence of demon insects, aiming to seize control of the main world as soon as possible.
After the dead world completely absorbed the roots of the Class 2 world, they could then strategize to advance the dead world to a Class 3 status. They might even consider engaging Epoch God Palace’s assistance at critical moments in exchange for compensation.
Crimson already knew that Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid were upset with them, but he did not care because he saw their fates as being intertwined.
After all these years, they had all formed various grievances against each other, but none could do anything about it or leave.
When Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid returned to Tower Canon and smelled the concentrated death aura, they could not help but think they had just encountered a narrow brush with death.
Regardless of how disappointed the two of them were with Tower Canon, they still told the other Eight Pages about the news they found out from Epoch God
Palace.
Warbler Candle asked doubtfully, “Are you sure that the information is accurate?”
Warbler Candle had asked this because she found it hard to believe that Epoch God Palace would stay in a Class 1 world for so long if they had no plans for it!
Any faction or individual had to have their own logic driving their actions.
If Epoch God Palace did not have any plans for this world, Warbler Candle could not figure out what objective they could have.
Warbler Candle’s suspicions were instinctive.
However, Warbler Candle’s instinctive action angered Cavity Orchid.
Cavity Orchid said coldly, “Warbler Candle, what right do you have to question the validity of our information? If you doubt us, you can head to Epoch God Palace and question them yourselves! Let’s think back to who had shrunk back when the topic first came up!”
Violet Light Green also frowned at Warbler Candle with her eyes full of displeasure and rage.
Warbler Candle must be aware of the giant risks that the two of them had undergone to obtain this news.
If they were even going to question information that was beneficial to them, Tower Canon might as well just shut down!
Eighth Page Eye Shadow also looked at Warbler Candle with displeasure and tried to mediate the situation, “There’s no way Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchard’s information is false. We can now launch our counterattack against the natives of this world!”
Cavity Orchid said coldly, “Hasn’t Tower Canon already begun our counterattack against the demon insects? You already sent out the Disaster Transcending Deceased and Saw-Killing Dead Beasts before we returned. Were you trying to use this method to test Epoch God Palace’s true intentions?”
Cavity Orchid was only one step away from saying that they had used them as bait. However, the other members of Tower Canon all understood that this was really what he was trying to say.
This made Eye Shadow, Sixth Page Wave Glow, and Seventh Page Concubine Winding all feel extremely awkward.
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow had been the one who made this suggestion, and Crimson had decided on it.
Although the two of them had not spoken clearly, Eye Shadow, Wave Glow, and Concubine Winding all knew that Crimson had such a goal in mind.
The rest of them had silently agreed to let it happen. This was because they had desperately needed to find out what Epoch God Palace’s intentions were!
Eye Shadow felt slightly apologetic toward Cavity Orchid and Violet Light Green.
Now that Tower Canon had already made their move but Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid had still returned safely, this indicated many things.
Warbler Candle had pointed out doubts despite having no moral high ground. She was essentially giving Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid fodder to lose their tempers.
They would likely have to give Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid more
advantages in their subsequent plans!
Crimson did not respond to what Cavity Orchid said. After all, Eye Shadow had already acted as the mediator.
Crimson changed the subject and said, “Since Epoch God Palace isn’t focused on this Class 2 world, let’s try to fully fuse the dead world’s roots with the Class 2 world within the next week.
“Then, we will all take part in eliminating the forces of this Class 2 world that have been obstructing the dead world from taking over this Class 2 world!”
Crimson paused for a moment before continuing. “Violet Light Green and
Cavity Orchid indeed had a hard time making contact with Epoch God Palace. The two of you can stay in the fortress!”
Crimson could not completely ignore the feelings of the other Pages and had to compensate the two of them in some ways. This decision was his way of making it up to the two of them.
Violet Light Green and Cavity Orchid scoffed. Crimson’s arrangement did not appease them.
Aside from Epoch God Palace, what other danger could there be in this Class 2 world?
Crimson was being thoughtless if he thought that this would be enough to compensate them.
All of them had been asleep for over 6,000 years. Who didn’t want to stretch their limbs after waking up?
Moreover, they would be able to obtain a large amount of spoils by cleaning out this Class 2 world. If they stayed back to look after the fortress, they would lose the chance to gain these spoils.
Cavity Orchid said through his clenched jaw, “Violet Light Green and I will join this plan. The Radiance Federation is now the core of this Class 2 world. I suggest that all eight of us head to the Radiance Federation and conquer that first.
“This will allow us to save the most time and energy, as well as strike a blow to the rest of the factions. After we take control of the Radiance Federation, Violet Light Green and I will each receive two units of the profits, while the rest of you will receive one unit.”
Rather than coming up with a plan, Cavity Orchid was stating his conditions.
Cavity Orchid’s words caused the other Pages to frown.
Warbler Candle was about to speak when she was interrupted by Crimson,
“Okay, we will divide up the spoils according to what you just said!”
