Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 885 650: Great Ink Orchid (Part 2)

Dragon Cypress personally led the worker ants and mountain ants to work, undertaking a large-scale transplantation of Elephant Foot King Orchid No. 1003 seedlings.

Three months were spent before everything was completed.

Ink Orchid also returned with the Six Sea Tong Tree Divine-Given Seeds.

Sang's elemental talent is barely adequate; back on Cloud Trace Continent, he successfully condensed the first Ability Divine Pattern. Currently at Age Period 2 Insect King, he has not yet chosen a Life Seed. Conveniently, now directly placed into the Life Pouch for nurturing, just wait to condense the second divine pattern, then directly evolve to Age Period 3 Insect King.

...

Silver Cypress, Year 159.

Spring opens in the Northern Hemisphere,

While in the Southern Hemisphere it is early autumn, the season when plant seeds mature collectively.

Ink Orchid rested on Rainbow Island for two days before setting off again on his own, heading to Fragrant Silk Island's Thousand Reef Archipelago for searching.

Eight days later,

In the evening,

On the southern beach of the island, Dragon Cypress lay on the Throne, adjusting and restoring Origin Force, simultaneously deploying the Super Brain Ability to review the afternoon's 'Airflow Barrier' training insights.

A shadow flickered, and White Willow hovered in front of Dragon Cypress.

"Great King, Second King is back! Along with Nupur Butterfly King, they're together, about 200 kilometers to the northeast."

"In such a vast sea area, how did they end up together?"

Dragon Cypress muttered, stood up, and soared into the air, activating the Scorching Ability to observe.

Under the twilight glow, a gigantic cloud mist pink-white mantis and a profound black butterfly soared side by side.

White Willow followed, also activated the Scorching Ability to glance, strangely saying: "Ink Orchid's 'Whirl Beast' ability transformed mantis feels a bit different from before~"

——Different?

Dragon Cypress focused the heart, using the Super Brain Ability for a closer look.

Indeed, it's somewhat different, more ethereal, possessing a livelier aura.

Dragon Cypress immediately thought of a possibility: Vortex Beast Divine Inscription!

Though Ink Orchid's 'Whirl Beast Ability' simplified many combinations compared to 'Vortex Beast Devouring', the speed of condensing the divine pattern, isn't it too fast?

"White Willow, I'll go welcome Second King; possibly, Nupur Butterfly King might be invited to visit the island. Inform everyone to clear the way."

"Alright—"

White Willow turned into a shadow, falling straight down.

Dragon Cypress simultaneously activated Wind Wings and Flash Strike Ability, flickering as he set off.

Approaching.

Ink Orchid carrying a Spider Silk Bag, jumped out from the forehead of the Cloud Mist Giant Mantis, tentacles flaring, full of spirit.

"Dragon Cypress! Look closely!"

"..."

"Congratulations Second King!"

Dragon Cypress flashed onto the Cloud Mist Giant Mantis's forehead, kicked forcefully with his hind legs, buried his head to take a couple of glances, then turned and greeted: "Nupur Butterfly King!"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

Nupur Butterfly King responded, proactively explaining: "I came to deliver the Divine-Grade White Crystal Fruit, happened to meet Mantis King Ink Orchid searching for Divine-Given Seeds on the island, so we journeyed together."

Nupur Butterfly King said heavily, feeling: "The elemental talent of Mantis King Ink Orchid leaves insects in awe! Across ancient and modern, if Mantis King Ink Orchid claims second, no insect dares claim first."

Dragon Cypress: "…And me?"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, you and I are of a kind insect."

Nupur Butterfly King tactfully and politely said, shaking the antenna, and then continued: "On the road, observing my 'Whirl Beast', Ink Orchid unexpectedly gained insight, simply tried a few attempts, smoothly condensed his own Whirl Beast Divine Inscription, and, absolutely beyond past understanding in strength!"

Dragon Cypress: "Uh..."

Dragon Cypress also observed Nupur Butterfly King's 'Whirl Beast', connected with 'Death State', thoroughly understood, successfully broke through, condensing the Vortex Beast Devouring Divine Inscription.

However,

——Breaking through past understanding in strength?

Dragon Cypress seriously said: "Ink Orchid, quickly thank Nupur Butterfly King."

The response was Thunderfire illuminating, Ink Orchid's tentacle swung and fiercely struck Dragon Cypress on the head.

"Ant, be serious! Discussing important matters here!"

"Alright, let's talk business…"

Dragon Cypress seriously asked: "Ink Orchid, judging by your aura, have you not comprehended 'Dead Water State'?"

"No..."

Ink Orchid bowed his head, Origin Force fluctuating, his forehead emerging with a semi-transparent pink-white mantis imprint, saying:

"While observing Nupur Butterfly King's butterfly-shaped 'Whirl Beast', I suddenly had an idea; whether I could enlarge my 'Little Ink Orchid' and merge with 'Whirl Beast'. Tried a few attempts, unexpectedly, it directly succeeded."

"My 'Whirl Beast' differs notably from yours! My divine pattern is mantis-shaped, whereas your divine patterns are all whirl beasts marked with hydra tentacles. This ability cannot be called 'Whirl Beast' anymore; it's upgraded, named 'Great Ink Orchid'!"

"..."

Listening, Dragon Cypress's head buzzed with pain, pondered over, and asked: "Ink Orchid, Little Ink Orchid is... a collection of many elemental systems, but your practiced whirl beast is purely water system, how did they merge?"

Ink Orchid paused, replied: "I only felt their natural compatibility, instantly combined together! But now, indeed, it's singularly water system. Though successfully condensed the divine pattern, still just the beginning, there's infinite growth potential; I can further incorporate fire, thunder, and wind."

Dragon Cypress: "So, in this way, does it conflict with the past 'Little Ink Orchid'? If I recall, only one Little Ink Orchid can exist simultaneously."

"No conflict!"

Ink Orchid spoke, moved by mind.

Within the pink-white cloud mist mantis, immense Primordial Energy rapidly contracted, receding into Ink Orchid's body; simultaneously, atop Ink Orchid's forehead, a pink-white little mantis synchronously formed.

Within seconds, the previously lively pink-white cloud mist mantis underwent a transformation in aura, seemingly drained of vitality, turned into ordinary mantis-shaped cloud mist.

"Ant, look~"

Standing atop Ink Orchid's head, Little Ink Orchid waved its claw at Dragon Cypress, then melded back into Ink Orchid's body and disappeared.

Then further, the immense Primordial Energy through Ink Orchid, infused into the cloud mist beneath his feet.
