Chapter 175 Monster Advancement: Eruption of Black Ant Mountain
The ritual to awaken evil.

This ritual can transform the monster tide into more evil spirit types, causing the monster tide to give birth to more evil spirit type monsters.

At the same time, it can also transform dungeons into the type of evil lairs.

no way……

This nest was the one that Lu Cang controlled the most.

In the other nests, Lu Cang could at best fight, but he didn't have any advantage.

However, Lu Cang knew all the rituals for awakening insects, twins, and giant nests.

This also means that Lu Cang can now summon dungeons of the corresponding level at will.

At its highest level, it might be able to summon a seventh-tier dungeon.

But just to be on the safe side.

Lu Cang had never actually tried it before.

While we may not have the raw power to destroy the entire continent, summoning various monsters and calling upon dungeons is merely a matter of soft power.

Lu Cang estimated that he already had the ability to destroy the entire continent.

and……

Lu Cang felt that he had stored up 112 billion souls.

This ceremony of pure white descent.

It's unclear what level of destructive power it possesses.

This ceremony was also the source of Lu Cang's confidence to finally overturn the table, a source of confidence that might even be able to overturn the table against An Zheng.

Lu Cang did not perform a sacrifice for the underground city.

Instead, they went into the underground city.

The fog inside the dungeon has thinned out considerably, suggesting that the influence of Luna is lessening in the lair.

The senses swept across.

Through the thick fog, Lu Cang saw many 6th-tier lord-level monsters.

However, the demons did not notice Lu Cang's arrival.

These mists not only obscure the senses of intelligent beings, but also those of demons.

"Um……"

"The passage is working properly."

Lu Cang left a trace of "source" in the original location of the passage.

Reserved for emergency use.

Then, next to Lu Cang, a creature covered in silk and slime was summoned by Lu Cang.

"Chitabus (Land-class)"

Its two feet stepped onto the earth, and instantly countless white mycelium-like substances sprouted from the earth.

The sixth-tier monsters in the distance were still unaware of what had happened.

Starting from the feet that touch the ground, the mycelium gradually spreads all over the body, causing corrosion from the inside.

At the same time, these mycelia also cause their souls to begin to decay.

Nourishes—

Lu Cang strolled forward, exploring.

After obtaining the "Source of Calamity", Lu Cang and Chi Cheng explored many Tier 6 dungeons.

During his exploration, Lu Cang naturally also acquired some undead of the Sunken Continent level.

Currently, there are about fifty level 6 undead in Lu Cang's small underworld.

There are differences between the Sunken Land-class ships, but these differences are more reflected in their unique characteristics, in terms of actual combat strength.

It all comes down to who has the stronger relationship of restraint with whom.

Lu Cang had never seen a monster of the sixth rank that was higher than the Sunken Land level.

It seems that only the Myriad True Souls took a portion of their limbs for identification by the monster experts at the White Tower.

Ultimately, the other party concluded that this was an existence infinitely close to being a level higher than Chenlu, but it was still ultimately limited to the level of Chenlu. If it were given more time to grow, it might be able to break through.

It's a pity we couldn't refine it into a dead soul.

This is a stone forest, with strangely shaped rocks standing everywhere.

The level 6 dungeon is extremely vast, far exceeding the coverage area of ​​a normal city.

If a low-level adventurer were to enter, let alone deal with those powerful monsters, it would be difficult to even find the final guardian in this maze-like place.

A level 3 mage's perception range is normally only a few hundred meters.

Lu Cang's perception range was only so large because he had the Void Spirit Ring Star Spear.

Without this spear, Lu Cang's current perception range, even after training, would only be less than ten kilometers.

The part that needed to be decrypted was found.

These dungeons, even if the monsters aren't strong sometimes, still offer good rewards in the puzzle-solving rooms.

Lu Cang arrived at a cluster of giant stones.

In the middle is a huge rock, and around this megalithic circle are many monster corpses lying on the ground.

Before Lu Cang arrived.

"Cittus" has already wiped them all out.

Chitabas is a soul extractor that spreads mycelium. Through the spread of mycelium, it parasitizes its enemies and begins to bite and devour their souls.

Just give it some time.

This allows the mycelium to spread over a vast area, eventually covering the entire continent...

A submerged monster.

Almost every one of them possesses the destructive power to wipe out all life on the entire continent.

Lu Cang's mind stirred.

Many more undead spirits were generated around Lu Cang.

However, the undead that were generated this time were just some Tier 6 Monarch-level minions.

"Move all those fresh corpses over here."

Lu Cang gave the order in a soft voice.

Swish, swish, swish!
The surrounding shadows then disappeared one after another from Lu Cang's side.

Then, Lu Cang looked at the surrounding boulders.

Does this Stonehenge puzzle require moving different megaliths to solve?
Ugh, this is too much trouble.

Lu Cang looked at the giant rock in the center and stretched out one hand.

hum-

The seal that had been binding the boulder was lifted by Lu Cang.

With a deafening roar, the boulder shattered, revealing a magnificent golden treasure chest in Lu Cang's sight.

The cult of Luck states that a world without randomness is boring, so the god of luck, Yacaticto, has buried special little treasures all over the world.

Those who find them will receive a surprise reward.

This is the origin of the treasure chests in the dungeon.

Besides dungeons, there are also many such lucky hidden items in the open world.

Lu Cang had seen quite a few things using his ability to spy on secrets.

However, what you can find are probably just small items worth a few silver or copper coins, and if you're a little lucky, they might be worth a few gold coins.

Later, Lu Cang was too lazy to pick up any hidden objects he saw in the wild.

However, it's best to check out the rewards in the dungeon.

A while ago, I explored a level 6 dungeon with Chi Cheng and even obtained a piece of pure hard steel.

It is an extremely rare material, and in terms of hardness, it can be said to be one of the world's top steels.

Chi Cheng broke it in half and gave himself a portion.

At this moment, the magnificent treasure chest no longer looked like an ordinary object.

Even with the ultimate senses that cannot be shielded, this treasure chest appears as a hazy, gray mist.

The contents of this treasure chest cannot be seen; the surprise is revealed only the moment it is opened.

Lu Cang drew a circular ritual on the spot.

"Lucky Enhancement Ceremony"

The ritual was performed, but it's unclear whether it was effective or not; there was no glowing light or any kind of vibration or other feedback.

Open the treasure chest.

There's no need to worry about mimics anymore, as Lu Cang has more than one ability to detect whether something is a mimic.

The spiritual can see, the ultimate senses can see, and one can also see depending on whether there is a soul.

Swish!
A piece of khaki-colored armor shot into the sky!

"A suit of perfect quality armor."

It has the same quality as the Ethereal Ring Staff.

The armor was heavy.

Once you put it on, you're rooted to the spot and can't move.

However, the ground beneath their feet will not be destroyed. Once firmly rooted, their defensive capabilities will become extremely strong, and all defensive magic, combat skills, and protective skills generated within this area will also become extremely powerful.

"Pretty good..."

Lu Cang put it into his spatial storage, and his collection of secret treasures continued to grow.

After obtaining the spoils.

His own necromancer also helped bring over all the dead monsters.

"Hmm, this place is indeed nice... Let's set it up here."

Lu Cang casually raised his hand.

Countless ores, blood, medicine, eyeballs, and plants flew out in all directions.

Blood drew intricate patterns, forming a massive ritual.

Once raw, twice cooked.

Lu Cang now dares to call himself a master of ceremonies.

If we discuss ritual studies...

Even some learned scholars who specialize in studying rituals may not have a profound understanding of them.

At least……

Lu Cang believed he had mastered many rituals.

Having acquired the money, he bought all the ritual books of Knolloa.

He also had the authority to freely access almost all the library collections.

It can also uncover secrets.

In reality, most of these clandestine rituals can only be discovered in secret.

Even the most learned scholars or array masters don't have as many rituals as Lu Cang.

Swish!
In the next instant, a massive, imposing mountain appeared within the formation!

Countless black ants surged out of the mountain! "Ant Mountain."

"You've followed me for so long, you've done a good job."

"Even though you're a stupid, mindless monster... you've still helped me so much."

Without the Thousand Ant Mountain, Lu Cang wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly.

Just the act of running around searching for one's soul takes a lot of time.

The concept of spending hundreds of millions every day is completely different from the concept of a soul running around earning hundreds of thousands or millions a day.

"Today, I'll help you climb even higher on the path of monsters..."

Among Reiga's forbidden books is one titled "The Path to Monster Ascension".

The book mentions the story of a monster named "Di Que" who rose from a weakling to a high-ranking one.

It was a very peculiar book, written from the perspective of a monster, almost like a novel.

But actually... there's a secret hidden in that book.

This is the "Monster Ascension Ritual".

Shedding the old shell, gaining a new life—

Coming from the absence of spirit, we glimpse ignorance and enlightenment.

I climbed ever upward until I soared to the very end.

This is the record in "The Path to Ascension of Monsters".

"Evolutionary direction".

"Higher breeding volume, higher conversion efficiency..."

Prior to this, Lu Cang had also overseen the advancement of three other demonic creatures, all of which were fourth-tier, nation-destroying level demonic creatures.

I've accumulated quite a bit of experience.

Lu Cang dislikes doing things unprepared for crucial matters because it's easy to make mistakes.

Lu Cang adjusted the ritual, and the materials placed at different points in the ritual were increased or decreased.

"It's somewhat similar to transcendent magic..."

Magic can be found in everything in the world.

"Sacrifice..."

"Death and the Soul".

"Its existence is elevated."

Lu Cang raised his hand—

Swish!
Souls were continuously poured into the ritual, and the fresh corpses of Rank 6 monsters placed in different corners in the distance were also constantly dissolving under the influence of the ritual.

They transformed into tiny particles and surged toward the monster at the center!

puff!
puff!
puff!
The ant mountain leaped wildly! With each leap, it spewed out a surging swarm of ants!
Its body begins to grow, and the holes on its body become more dense. The ant colonies that are born are also smaller and more delicate. However, these smaller black ants have stronger bodies.

"A strong physique is not necessary."

"It's mainly about quantity."

Lu Cang reduced the amount of flesh and blood in a certain part of the formation's core.

Another cluster of insect eggs was added to the array.

The number of ants produced by the Thousand Army Ant Mountain had increased, but the bodies of these ants had become weak.

Despite being a second-tier black ant, it was as weak as a first-tier one.

But the numbers are even greater and more terrifying.

The black ants, originally the size of a fist, have grown to the size of a thumb, but they are now densely packed together...

puff!
puff!
puff!
The ant mountain spews forth its spittle, and with each spew it grows larger, its size increases with each eruption.

It is constantly evolving.

Soon, in almost five minutes, its size had increased to ten times its previous size, but this was far from the end.

At this point, its size had far exceeded the scope of the ceremony setup.

Lu Cang had already retreated to a very far location, but it continued to grow larger and larger, becoming an even bigger monster.

Finally, it stopped growing when it was about thirty times its original size.

It is no longer a series of eruptions.

Instead, it turned into a continuous stream of black clouds spewing outwards!

Buzz buzz buzz buzz——

Each black ant possesses the ability to fly. The faint, granular black ants spread out like a mist, obscuring the sky!

"Emitting Black Ant Mountain"

"Tier 5 - Nation-Destroying Level Monster"

The anthill grew enormous, with countless holes opening in all directions, from which black mist was constantly spewed out.

If you don't look closely, you won't be able to tell that these mists are actually second-tier demonic creatures called black ants.

These black ants are more vulnerable than ordinary second-order black ants.

However, it possesses greater offensive capabilities, faster speed, and can fly very nimbly.

If the attack cannot completely fill the entire space.

That would eventually lead to the leakage of black ant mist.

Once the mist touches your body, you will have to endure the piercing and biting of hundreds or thousands of black ants. It is estimated that in just a few seconds, it can devour the life of a low-level adventurer.

"It actually worked."

Lu Cang casually unfolded a shield, and the fire shield completely enveloped him.

No black ant could get close.

Lu Cang was naturally not afraid of these black ants.

But it's easy to imagine that this "erupting black ant mountain" would be placed outside.

It is more than enough to easily destroy a country.

Even a level 5 adventurer would probably be helpless against this erupting black ant mountain.

call!
Flames swirled from all directions.

In an instant, the erupting black ant mountain was completely covered by flames, which enveloped the ant mountain like a cage.

Lu Cang felt that hundreds of millions of souls had appeared in an instant.

So many...

It seems that we'll be able to produce hundreds of billions of souls a day from now on.

This evolution was definitely the right one.

Lu Cang used the fresh corpse of a sixth-tier demon, along with the most sublime soul, as materials for the ritual sacrifice.

The purpose is to allow the Thousand Ant Mountain to fully evolve.

Now it seems... complete enough.

Even against that Tier 5, nation-destroying monster on the 100th floor of the Tower of War, it could probably be easily defeated.

and.

With a whoosh, Lu Cang instantly transformed countless souls into undead spirits, turning them into tiny black flying ants.

Each black flying ant is a special species.

From now on, I will also be a necromancer who can be called part of the Legion.

Whether it is the quality of an individual or the quantity of a group.

Lu Cang has nothing to lack now.

Raise your hand and put the "erupting black ant mountain" into the living space.

For the promotion of "Thousands of Ants Mountain".

Lu Cang had made many preparations.

Not only do you need to find the ritual to promote a monster, but you also need to try to make the monster evolve in the direction you want, which requires a theoretical foundation in ritual studies and monster studies.

In addition, appropriate materials need to be prepared.

And to make repeated attempts.

After the evolution is complete, there is one more essential step.

That is, it must be able to fit it.

A Tier 5 monster capable of destroying entire nations is an absolutely colossal creature; Aijin's bracelet from before certainly couldn't contain it.

Therefore, Lu Cang also commissioned Ai Jin to make a new bracelet.

Thanks to the bracelet obtained from the Cold Church, which is blessed with professional knowledge of "storage science" and is a precious item stored in the Forbidden Temple, it really does have such a large capacity.

The rest is for Aijin to enchant the bracelet with an ability to hold living creatures.

Only then can this "erupting black ant mountain" be accommodated.

"Um……"

"The remaining guardian of this dungeon has also been dealt with."

Lu Cang looked at the antler-covered demon that had walked up to him.

"Chitabas" has already taken care of the BOSS. In the end, the final BOSS was just a monarch-level being.

In the face of a submerged monster, there is only the possibility of being instantly killed.

This antlered demon, transformed into an undead, is the guardian of the dungeon.

"So be it……"

Lu Cang turned and left.

Now, soloing level 6 dungeons is no longer a big problem for me.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that after clearing each dungeon and obtaining its souls, you can kill even more dungeons.

Strength is a snowball effect that keeps rolling in.

call--

Lu Cang walked out of the underground city with his hands in his pockets.

As soon as he stepped out, he sensed something was wrong.

He had set up rituals and restrictions here, but they disappeared after he came out?

There is a situation.

Lu Cang instantly scanned his surroundings with his senses, and at the same time, hundreds of layers of shields enveloped his body.

The robes were layered, covering his body.

With a sudden sweep of his senses, Lu Cang discovered that the surrounding environment had changed.

This isn't the place I was in before entering the dungeon?

what's the situation?
where is this?
Was it caused by human intervention? Or was it influenced by the month?

Swish Swish Swish Swish——

Lu Cang released ten smaller, land-level demonic creatures in one breath to protect himself, while at the same time carefully sensing his own heart.

Once you've determined a direction based on your intuition, head in that direction.
