The Tenth-Order Ming Ling Devil Men became even more muscular, with a human-like form reaching over 2 meters in height, appearing exceptionally robust without seeming bloated.
They also possessed intelligence far beyond ordinary beings. In combat, they could calmly analyze the situation, skillfully utilizing their advantages and the surrounding environment to deliver fatal blows to enemies.
The sharp blades on their arms gleamed with a dazzling cold light; even the hardest metal on Blue Star would be torn apart like paper with a slight flick.
The four pairs of wings beneath the back shield changed color to match the surface of their skin, and their tails became armored.
Their initial Life Strength soared to 47 points, approaching the Demigod Rank, which was truly terrifying.
Furthermore, they gained a new Five-Star Talent: Intermediate Titan Overlord Body.
Zhou Qi looked at the Tenth-Order Ming Ling Devil Men with great satisfaction, then shifted his gaze to the Mind Control Demon Bug beside him.
The Mental Energy of the Tenth-Order Mind Control Demon Bug had greatly improved, and their bodies became more crystalline and translucent, as if condensed from pure Mental Energy, emitting a mysterious and eerie glow.
He could clearly sense that the Mental Energy emanating from the Demon Insects was several times stronger than when they were Ninth-Order, allowing them to easily invade enemies' brains and control more powerful creatures than before.
The newly acquired Four-Star Talent: Psychokinesis: A derivative of Mental Energy, allowing for the control of objects or people through psychokinesis.
This newly acquired Talent was a perfect match for the Mind Control Demon Bug, as psychokinetic suppression would allow for better parasitic control of creatures.
Looking at the newly born Tenth-Order Kin, Zhou Qi's heart was filled with surprise and ambition. These Kin, now at the Tenth-Order, undoubtedly made his power even stronger.
However, his gaze quickly fell upon the Fourteenth-Order Ant Queen. At this moment, the Ant Queen, having consumed so many Origin Points for enhancement, had her Life Strength skyrocket to 84 points, already stepping into the terrifying Domain of the Transcendent Demigod Rank.
Moreover, her Life Strength would continuously increase with daily reproduction.
Around her immense and unparalleled body, an indescribable biological force field permeated. This force field, like a materialized halo, slightly distorted the surrounding space, exuding a chilling pressure, as if a mythical creature was manifesting its form in the present world.
Witnessing the Ant Queen's powerful stance, as well as the newly reproduced Tenth-Order Kin of various colors, Zhou Qi's ambition ignited like a raging fire, burning even more fiercely.
His gaze fell upon the towering Zerg nest in the distance. The Iron-Blood World, this mysterious and challenging Domain, had to be conquered.
Immediately, without any hesitation, he turned and strode towards the Zerg nest.
When Zhou Qi arrived at the Zerg nest, it was already heavily guarded.
Troops were layered around it, each Insectoid Kin with vigilant eyes and heightened Mental Energy, staring intently at the mysterious spatial tunnel in the center of the Zerg nest.
Eerie lights occasionally flickered in the tunnel, as if connecting to another world full of unknown dangers.
Zhou Qi stood before the Zerg nest, his eyes firm and resolute. He first summoned Wu Ka.
Wu Ka quickly arrived with heavy and powerful steps. Wherever his massive body went, the ground trembled slightly, and the surrounding Insectoid Kin instinctively cleared a path, their eyes filled with awe.
"Wu Ka, this time we need to send the Four Fiends Insect Soldiers into the Iron-Blood World to test the waters. We know very little about the situation there. This battle is crucial; we must ascertain their true strength," Zhou Qi said, his gaze fixed on the tunnel in the center of the Zerg nest, his tone resolute and unquestionable.
Wu Ka's massive head lowered slightly, his eyes gleaming with excitement and fervor. He opened his gaping maw and roared in a low voice, "Master, rest assured, I will make sure these little ones give their all and never fail their mission!"
Soon, a thousand-strong team composed of Ninth-Order Four Fiends Insect Soldiers quickly assembled in front of the Zerg nest.
Each of these Four Fiends Insect Soldiers was agile, exuding a dense, almost materialized black Evil Qi, like demons emerging from the depths of Hell.
Their four pairs of segmented limbs were thick and powerful, each segment shimmering with a cold metallic luster, like meticulously forged sharp blades, reflecting a chilling light under the dim illumination.
Zhou Qi looked at this high-spirited team, silently cheering them on, then forcefully waved his hand, decisively ordering: "Depart!"
One by one, the Four Fiends Insect Soldiers, like a black torrent, unhesitatingly rushed into the mysterious spatial tunnel.
Zhou Qi quickly switched to the Kin's perspective, his gaze fixed on an elite Four Fiends Insect Soldier within the thousand-strong team.
In an instant, the scene twisted and transformed, revealing a strange and dangerous Iron-Blood World.
Enormous Zerg nests, like majestic mountains, spanned across the vast land. The surfaces of these Zerg nests were uneven, with complex and mysterious patterns, resembling ancient symbols left by some ancient civilization.
Behind many Zerg nests, a magnificent and awe-inspiring palace stood. The palace walls were made of a substance similar to black crystal, shimmering with a cold and mysterious light under the sunlight, and the reflected light intertwined, forming strange and dazzling light and shadow.
The palace's roof was sharply conical, covered with sharp, thorn-like protrusions, as if displaying its majesty and inviolability to the world.
Countless Ironblood Bugmen patrolled around these Zerg nests, moving in an orderly fashion, their eyes revealing vigilance and ferocity.
There were also Ironblood Bugmen mounted on giant bird-like creatures. These giant birds had a wingspan of nearly twenty meters, and the feathers on their wings were like sharp blades, glinting coldly in the sunlight.
The Ironblood Bugmen held crossbow-like weapons, which were covered in mysterious runes. These runes flickered with eerie energy fluctuations, as if containing immense power.
In the sky, a red sun hung high, yet its scorching sunlight made the entire world appear as if it were sunset, with orange-red light adding a strange yet captivating hue to this unfamiliar world.
As the Four Fiends Insect Soldiers emerged one by one from the spatial tunnel, the Ironblood Bugmen instantly became alert.
Piercing, ear-splitting alarms ripped through the sky, like the shriek of a night owl, echoing throughout the entire Iron-Blood World.
The Ironblood Bugmen moved swiftly, surging towards the Four Fiends Insect Soldiers like a black tide.
They emitted sharp roars, their voices filled with hostility and rage, as if they wanted to devour the intruders alive.
The Ironblood Bugmen riding on giant birds launched the first attack. They skillfully drew their bows and nocked arrows, and one arrow after another, accompanied by sharp, piercing sounds of cutting through the air, rained down on the Four Fiends Insect Soldiers like a dense downpour.
