Why were there runes on the insect's shell?
Clearly, this was premeditated. The Dragon Ancestor's goal was to let the Black Dragons take over.
With Tai Yu's group's speed, they would reach the underground space at the end of the tunnel in less than half an hour. There was a huge insect that looked like a praying mantis. It was a hundred meters long and was bronze in color. It looked like a robot insect made of metal.
This was the Insect Ancestor!
It was two levels higher than the Insect King that Yang Tian saw last time.
If Tai Yu could obtain the Insect Ancestor's power, his strength would increase by several levels.
Of course, it was impossible for Tai Yu to digest the Insect Ancestor's power by himself.
He would need a talisman formation …
The tunnel to the underground space was hidden. The entire underground space was filled with talisman formations. It was difficult to break through. Other than Tai Yu of the Black Dragons, this competition was just a formality for the other dragons. At the same time, they would have to face the attacks of countless insects on Insect Island.
"Good plan. Then I'll make sure your efforts are in vain!"
Yang Tian opened his eyes, the corner of his lips curled as he sneered.
A moment later, Yang Tian closed his eyes again and lowered his head slightly. His long black hair spread out and covered his face, preventing others from seeing the strange mark that appeared between his brows.
Waves of invisible energy rippled out from Yang Tian's body and spread across the entire Insect Island.
Soon, all the awakened Insect Kings stopped moving. The insects around Yang Tian also moved away.
The Insect Tribe's energy was very special. It could be gathered from a long distance.
At this time, the Insect Kings received Yang Tian's order. They began to transfer their energy to Yang Tian, including the sleeping Insect Ancestor …
…
Tai Yu's group finally arrived at the underground space.
Looking at the huge insect before him, Tai Yu laughed excitedly.
As long as he could obtain the Insect Ancestor's power, he could become the next Dragon Ancestor!
By then, the Green Dragon Tribe would continue to be suppressed and disappear from the Dragon Tribe.
Also, the Dragon Field was too small. As a noble dragon, he could not always stay in the Dragon Field. All the beasts in the universe should submit to him.
There was also the Divine Realm. Those Deities had occupied the Divine Realm for too long. They didn't need to do anything and enjoyed endless lifespans. The current Dragon Ancestor was too conservative …
The excited Tai Yu fantasized about what would happen after he became the Dragon Ancestor.
Tai Yu hadn't expected that the Insect Progenitor, who had been sealed by a glyph array and hadn't moved at all, was rapidly transferring its energy.
After merging the Insect Origin World and the Origin Realm into one and creating the Harmonizing Force, Yang Tian's energy requirement was close to the Immeasurable Realm. Forget about the energy of one Insect Progenitor, even if there were ten more of them, his energy world would be able to accommodate them.
Yang Tian had taken a long time to absorb the King Beetle's energy because his level was not high enough and his body's capacity for energy was limited.
However, it was different now. Being close to the Boundless Realm allowed the Insect Ancestor's energy to be transferred rapidly. In just over ten minutes, the Insect Ancestor's Insect Core had shrunk by one-fifth.
"Cough cough …"
Tai Yu stared blankly at the Insect Ancestor's huge body as if he was mesmerized. After a long time, one of his subordinates could not help but cough twice.
Tai Yu came to his senses and waved his hand. "Go and dig out the Insect Core. It's in its chest. Remember not to destroy the glyph array on its body.
If the glyph array on its body is destroyed and it wakes up, none of us will be able to leave alive. "
The eleven subordinates responded and got to work.
Yang Tian's energy absorption speed was getting faster and faster. Thousands of King Beetles that were still alive had already transferred their energy to Yang Tian. The Insect Ancestor's Insect Core had shrunk by one-third.
The Insect Ancestor's shell was very hard. The Black Dragon Race's tools could only leave a shallow dent on its surface. It took half an hour for a bowl-sized hole to appear.
Tai Yu stood under the Insect Ancestor's body. His right hand transformed into a dragon claw. He jumped up and reached his dragon claw into the Insect Ancestor's chest. After a long time, he finally managed to grab something that looked like an Insect Core.
He took it out and saw that it was a light blue crystal. It was not even the size of an adult's fist and its color did not match what the Dragon Ancestor had described.
But the ripple of energy coming from the crystal meant that it was the Insect Ancestor's Insect Core.
"This … is not possible."
Tai Yu's eyes were wide open. He could not believe it.
After being stunned for a moment, Tai Yu roared and jumped up again. He stuck his body close to the Insect Ancestor's abdomen and used his dragon claws to dig into the Insect Ancestor's chest. The Insect Ancestor's organs were also crushed.
With nothing to show for it, Tai Yu used his dragon claw to destroy the glyph array on the Insect Ancestor.
"Pfft ~"
As soon as the glyph array that sealed the Insect Ancestor was broken, it woke up. It spat out a mouthful of green liquid. It only moved a little before it stopped moving.
The Insect Ancestor had lost all of its energy and its organs were destroyed. The Insect Ancestor's physical body was dead.
It was not just the physical body. The Insect Ancestor's spiritual body was gone as well. The spiritual body that was left in the corpse could not harm Tai Yu.
The Insect Ancestor was not someone to be trifled with. When Yang Tian was forcefully absorbing its energy, it used that energy to enter Yang Tian's body. It thought that it could take over Yang Tian's body.
But to its surprise, Yang Tian's world of energy was filled with the Harmonizing Power. The Insect Ancestor's spiritual body could not even react before it was dissolved and absorbed along with its energy.
This might be the most tragic Insect Ancestor in the history of the Insectoids. First, it was sealed and then its energy was absorbed by Yang Tian. Not even its spiritual body could survive.
"This is not possible!
This is not possible … "
Tai Yu's eyes were wide open as he stared at the Insect Ancestor's body.
He could not believe what he was seeing.
When he saw the Insect Ancestor, he began to dream about what it would be like after he became the Dragon Ancestor.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The more beautiful the dream, the more painful it would be when it could not be achieved.
Without the Insect Ancestor's power, Tai Yu would not be able to become the next Dragon Ancestor.
"What's going on?
Have I been deceived by the Dragon Ancestor … "
The more Tai Yu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
That was because other than him and his subordinates, no other dragons had been here before.
"That must be it!"
Tai Yu confirmed his thoughts. He suddenly looked up and roared at the ceiling, "Dragon Ancestor, you lied to me …"
"Hehe!
Serves you right! "
Using the senses of a low-level insect, Yang Tian sneered when he saw this.
"You're very proud of yourself, aren't you?"
Suddenly, an old voice sounded behind Yang Tian.
Yang Tian maintained his cross-legged posture without moving. He smirked and said calmly, "Old fart, you're finally here."
