Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

There aren't many monsters in the underground world, but law-based creatures like salamanders are not uncommon.

Every so often, a group of powerful monsters would appear to block the way.

Or rather, they treat that area as their own territory, prohibiting other living beings from passing through.

These creatures are all strangely shaped, with many horns, tentacles, scales, and molted eyes, etc.

They are ugly in appearance, but very powerful, and almost all of them possess their own innate supernatural abilities.

Killing them will yield fragments of the Law of Earth, the Law of Fire, and the Law of Metal, among many other Daoist principles.

This unique underground world is like a huge treasure trove, waiting for Luo Yan to explore.

For a moment, the pitch-black darkness might not seem so important anymore.

Luo Yan walked through the darkness, lotus marks blooming beneath her feet. With one step, she leaped a great distance.

With the blessing of the ability to travel between worlds in an instant, he can maintain an extremely fast exploration speed and efficiency in the underground world.

He slayed those special creatures as he flew rapidly forward, heading deeper into the area.

He encountered many beings of the Law type along the way, and he killed them one by one, collecting Law Beads such as Fire Bead, Earth Bead, and Gold Bead.

After an unknown amount of time, when Luo Yan noticed a significant increase in the light of the underground world, a huge white cocoon, or rather, an egg follicle, appeared before him.

This giant white egg, resembling a towering mountain, stands majestically in the distance.

They were blocked in the very center of the underground world.

Around the giant follicle stood countless tiny pupae, as dense as grains of rice, which was terrifying.

'Clatter!' 'Clatter!'
As if sensing an unfamiliar presence, the small pupae began to awaken, breaking apart one after another, splashing out emerald green liquid that corroded the soil, leaving it pitted and uneven.

This was a swarm of black ants, at least several million in number, all of which broke out of their eggs and pupae in a short time and rushed towards Luo Yan.

Such a scene is terrifying.

"Thunder comes!"

Luo Yan spread his hands, chanted an incantation, and the void tore open, from which streaks of azure lightning surged down.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a violent aura filled the entire space.

*Sizzle!* *Sizzle!*

Under the onslaught of these lightning bolts, the black demon ants at the forefront were quickly electrocuted, but their scales seemed to possess some kind of damage reduction function, minimizing the damage they suffered.

Before long, the black demonic ants that had been stunned by the electric shock struggled to their feet again and charged towards Luo Yan.

The azure lightning that Luo Yan casually unleashed was actually blocked by a swarm of demonic ants the size of washbasins.

His eyes narrowed, his hands formed a hand seal, and the incantation he chanted became increasingly profound.

The next moment, the entire underground cave space was covered by a hazy, rolling thundercloud.

This time, it was no longer ordinary blue lightning, but a powerful five-colored thunderbolt.

‘Boom! ’

Boundless thunder crashed down, its roar echoing throughout the entire underground space.

At this moment, the black demonic ants could no longer cause trouble and all turned to ashes and disappeared.

Only clumps of gray ashes remained in the same spot, indicating that the demonic ants had once appeared there.

The black anthill, stretching for tens of kilometers, was instantly emptied, leaving only a solitary giant white egg.

'Sizzle!'

A faint divine voice rang out from the giant egg.

The next moment, an invisible ripple spread out from the center of the giant white egg.

'Plop plop!'

In an instant, the underground cave erupted with a massive number of tiny insect eggs, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The insect eggs touched the ground, then stood on the soil and gestated in the space.

In just a short while, another large swarm of black demonic ants emerged from their cocoons and stood up shakily.

"It's interesting."

Luo Yan's eyes were deep as he examined the giant insect egg in front of him. This was an extremely rare insect queen.
The sheer number of black demonic ants, capable of weakening the power of Taoist magic, is truly astonishing.

But that's all.

In front of Luo Yan, this so-called Zerg Queen was like a sitting duck, unable to cause the slightest trouble.

The lightning in the void continued to rage, the five-colored lightning blazing fiercely, its power extremely terrifying.

Immediately, another large swarm of black demonic ants was electrocuted and turned into ashes, disappearing into the world as smoke.

Amidst the raging lightning, Luo Yan spotted a small group of demonic ants that seemed oblivious to the lightning, charging rapidly forward.

It was as if they had undergone some kind of profound transformation in a short period of time, with their aura surging and changing.

They transformed from inconspicuous black ants into shimmering silver lightning ants.

Even more astonishingly, one or two black demonic ants evolved within the thunderclouds.

The white insect mother in the back laid many eggs, and the demonic ants that hatched from them were all silver in color.

It seems that this rare female insect also possesses the ability to learn on its own and fuse with its offspring after splitting.

"The Zerg's innate talent for self-evolution?"

"Or is this just a single individual?" Luo Yan's eyes flickered as he pondered the question.

The Zerg are found throughout the myriad worlds; they can be found on almost any ancient planet inhabited by life.

However, truly powerful Zerg are rare; at least in the True Spirit Realm, Luo Yan has never seen one.

He stared intently at the giant white egg and the constantly evolving black demonic ants, and he thought of a strange insect.

Soul-devouring ants!
These strange insects were once prominent in ancient times because they could reproduce endlessly and undergo metamorphosis through external energy.

Furthermore, it is a special creature ranked on the list of wondrous insects of the myriad worlds. As long as it absorbs enough energy, it can continue to evolve indefinitely.

It once established a formidable reputation in that era, devouring countless ancient beings.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan's movements became lighter, as he wanted to verify whether the demonic ants in front of him were indeed the strange insects he had guessed.

Five-colored thunderclouds rolled and ravaged the entire underground cave, covering the land for dozens of miles in front, with crackling and popping sounds of electricity ringing out incessantly.

They completely overwhelmed those black demonic ants.

Only the rare silver demon ants were baptized under these thunderclouds, their outer silver carapaces becoming increasingly darker.

The silver light was blinding.

Finally, after three hours, Luo Yan discovered that the five-colored lightning he released could no longer harm the silver demon ants in the slightest.

'Buzz!' Countless silver demonic ants flapped their wings and flew directly up from the ground, unleashing a barrage of lightning towards Luo Yan.

In an instant, its offensive became many times more ferocious.

At the same time, the giant egg, which was thousands of feet tall, was also affected by something and began to split into tiny silver pupae.

Immediately, countless silver demon ants emerged, like a torrential downpour.

"It can actually absorb external energy, thereby evolving itself in that direction. No wonder it is a special creature on the list of strange insects in the myriad worlds."

“Since you can devour the power of laws, I’d like to see where your ultimate transformation lies.” Luo Yan’s eyes gleamed.

He seemed to have discovered something very interesting: these constantly evolving demonic ants could be used to verify his own cultivation.

Imagine if these demonic ants in front of you all possessed dozens of laws of power, what terrifying monsters they would be?

Perhaps through the continuous evolution of these demonic ants, the second spiritual body can find a more reliable path for the original body to cultivate all kinds of methods simultaneously.

Therefore, when Luo Yan discovered the strange changes in these Soul-Eating Ants, he became interested.

Sword energy, fire, hurricane and other laws of power surged from his body.

Luo Yan was actively feeding these demonic ants.

He wanted to see what astonishing changes would occur in these magical silver ants when multiple laws converged within a single body.

He wanted to know the upper limit of these strange insects.

‘Clang! ’

*Sizzle!*

As Luo Yan continued to experiment, the attack methods of those demonic ants became more and more diverse.

Sword energy flew everywhere, a strong wind howled, and flames scorched.
Dozens of laws of power filled this small underground world, bursting forth with multicolored light, and the entire space was in an uproar.

Luo Yan remained at a distance, observing as he unleashed a powerful beam of energy to clash with the demonic ants.

The silver ants began to change color on their carapaces, becoming multicolored, resembling ladybugs emitting iridescent light.

"These demonic ants have indeed undergone significant changes after absorbing so much law energy, and they now possess extremely strong resistance to dozens of common law powers."

"But their attack methods and life levels have not changed much after several leaps."

"Has this reached a critical point?" Luo Yan pondered.

Under his deliberate training, these spirit-devouring ants changed their attack methods from simply waving their pincers and engaging in close combat at the beginning.

From casting spells in mid-air to spewing out all sorts of energy beams.

Compared to the original black spirit-eating ants, the current colorful spirit-eating ants have undergone tremendous changes.

However, this change did not satisfy Luo Yan.

Because he didn't see the result he wanted.

The evolution of the Soul-Eating Ants was astonishing, but in Luo Yan's eyes, it was still not enough. This level of transformation was like that of puppets.

For ordinary cultivators, it might be somewhat useful, allowing them to win by sheer numbers.

However, they are still far from being truly strong!
After all, the Soul-Eating Ants are too small, their internal energy is limited, and the attacks they can unleash are also extremely limited.

The only noteworthy thing is that Luo Yan discovered that most of the Daoist techniques he used, even offensive divine abilities, were ineffective against these tiny demonic ants.

It's as if they've also acquired a weakened version of invulnerability.

These demonic ants are indeed evolving and transforming, and they are growing at an extremely fast rate.

"Next, let's try fusing the laws of the void," Luo Yan said softly, her eyes gleaming with the light of exploration.

A single Soul-Eating Ant may seem insignificant, but don't forget that there are countless Soul-Eating Ants here, each one as big as a face, and the total number is no less than several million.

Such an astonishing number is comparable to a locust swarm; any living creature that stands in their way will be devoured in an instant.

'Om! '

Luo Yan first used the power of incense and prayer to contact the outermost group of demonic ants. A milky white halo enveloped the area in front of her, making it sparkle.

'Snapped! ''Snapped! ''Snapped! ’

Under the influence of the incense and the power of the prayers, the bodies of those demonic ants began to tremble, then became stiff, and then burst open like expanding bubbles.

Countless demonic ants exploded on the ground, splashing out emerald green corrosive liquid that was scattered all over the ground.

The special spirit-devouring ants, which had clearly adapted to the power of the laws, were like a pile of dry tinder that had been touched by a spark under the influence of the incense and vows.

This led to the most dramatic changes.

Under Luo Yan's gaze, the Soul-Devouring Ants, whose energy and brilliance would normally be completely devoured when he released his Daoist techniques and supernatural powers, rose up like boiling water this time.

The explosions kept making crackling sounds.

The outermost ring of spirit-devouring ants, enveloped by the power of incense and prayers, were all unable to withstand that immense force and could only explode and die.

Fortunately, the giant white egg, which is thousands of feet tall, will lay eggs as soon as it discovers that the total number of Soul-Eating Ants has decreased, thus maintaining the approximate total number of the species.

The only cost was that the giant egg, which was thousands of feet tall, shrank slightly in size due to the large number of Soul-Eating Ants it produced in a short period of time.

Luo Yan remained expressionless and continued to release the power of incense offerings according to his plan, hoping to make these spirit-devouring ants unique beings capable of devouring the laws of faith.

'Snapped! ''Snapped! ''Snapped! ’

Under Luo Yan's deliberate feeding, the number of Soul-Eating Ants that died in this underground space became countless.

Countless spirit-devouring ants are conceived from the eggs and then explode.

The entire process took less than ten breaths.

Luo Yan kept moving his hands; he had plenty of patience and wanted to witness a group of extraordinary beings.

Time passed, and even the towering white egg mountain, thousands of feet high, visibly shrank.

A special spirit-devouring ant, which combined the power of dozens of laws and the power of incense offerings, finally appeared before Luo Yan.

'Ouch! '

The moment this special Soul-Devouring Ant completed its transformation, it rushed towards Luo Yan's location. Neither lightning, sword energy, nor the Five Elements Dao techniques could harm it in the slightest.

Its power is so great that it is awe-inspiring.

"Huh? Finally, one of the Soul-Eating Ants has completed its metamorphosis." Luo Yan exclaimed in surprise.

He stood quietly in place, his figure vanishing into nothingness, letting the spirit-devouring ant unleash various attacks such as lightning, sword energy, spear light, and energy beams.

Luo Yan didn't care at all.

If we're talking about the level of mastery and skill in Taoist immunity, he's the true ancestor!
However, the attack of this spirit-devouring ant still made Luo Yan feel alarmed.

Because he saw in a tiny demonic ant a unique Daoist aura of incense and vows, capable of being reborn after death! (End of Chapter)
