The giant insect showed a pained expression as a massive axe embedded itself in its head.
As the giant descended, its axe shattered the insect's defenses with a single strike. It was cleaved on the skull with almost no resistance.
This giant insect, which had been difficult for the man to contend with, was no match for the giant, and the man stood frozen, staring at the giant.
The last time he saw the giant was when it was destroying the spatial gate of the Wind God Dragon Realm in the Ruins of Guixu. At that time, he thought the giant was a pseudo-god level existence, so he felt saved upon seeing it arrive.
However, he had initially thought the giant's strength wouldn't be much greater than the giant insect's, as the insect's strength was also comparable to a pseudo-god.
To his surprise, the giant insect had no power to fight back against the giant, which was beyond his expectations.
Could the giant be comparable to a true god? His face was filled with astonishment.
The giant pulled out its axe, and with a "plop," a torrent of green liquid gushed out. The giant insect let out a pained roar and shriek.
"Roar!" The giant insect roared in anger, but it was met with another axe strike.
Boom!
The axe descended from the sky, hitting the giant insect once more.
The giant insect was instantly split in two, writhing on the ground.
"Insect race, you also have a fusion technique. I hope it drops a fusion skill crystal! Die!" the giant muttered, raising its palm.
"Elemental Power: Hundred Spears!"
Boom!
One hundred elemental powers gathered in its palm, all transforming into spears. It pushed its hand forward, and the elemental spears of various colors shot towards the giant insect.
The giant insect, already severed in two, had no power to resist.
Swish swish swish!!!
The elemental spears pierced the giant insect's body, and then the elements erupted, completely dismembering it.
"Ding, you have killed the Chaotic Insect (Fusion, Pseudo-God level), Upgrade Points +1,000,000,000!"
The Chaotic Insect was dead. With a clatter, two crystals fell to the ground, making a clear sound.
Lin Yu was overjoyed to see this and quickly had the giant pick them up.
The crystals felt cool to the touch. He placed them against his forehead to sense them.
Instantly, streams of information flooded his mind.
Symbiotic Fusion: An insect race secret art. Beings of the same origin can fuse into one. There must not be any thought of resistance. Maximum: one hundred thousand beings of the same origin.
"Although I can't use it yet, it's good to be prepared. When my talent upgrades and I have more clones, I can use it," Lin Yu murmured to himself.
"Learn!" he chanted mentally.
The next moment, countless pieces of information poured into his mind. After a while, he had learned the skill.
"The small one is the skill crystal Symbiotic Fusion. The larger crystal should be a talent crystal, right?"
He hadn't learned any new talents for a long time because he had never encountered suitable ones. He had also given up the idea of learning new talents, as his current ones were sufficient.
"Let's see what kind of talent crystal it is! It's time for me to learn a new talent."
He picked up the crystal and placed it against his forehead.
Instantly, a familiar feeling washed over him.
A piece of information appeared in his mind.
Devourer: Innate talent of the Chaotic Insect race. The Chaotic Insect race possesses a powerful digestive system and can devour all things to evolve itself. Those who possess this talent can devour all things to evolve!
"Doesn't this talent overlap a bit with Life Siphon?" Lin Yu wondered.
"No, Life Siphon can only devour objects with life energy, but this talent can devour all things and can evolve!"
"Learn it!" Lin Yu thought.
He mentally chanted "learn," and the next moment, he had acquired a new talent: Devourer.
Suddenly, he heard the system prompt in his ear.
"Ding, system detects similar talents: Life Siphon, Devourer. You can consume one hundred million upgrade points to merge talents. Do you wish to merge?"
"Yes!"
"Ding, merging... Merge successful! Congratulations on obtaining a new talent. Please name the new talent!"
"System, what are the abilities of the new talent?"
"Ding, the new talent has incorporated all the characteristics of both talents."
"Meaning it also inherited the shortcomings? Like that feeling of gluttony?"
"Yes, host, please name the new talent!"
The feeling of gluttony was much weaker now. As long as he didn't continuously devour too much, he could tolerate it.
"Still call it Devourer!"
"Ding, new talent named: Devourer!"
Lin Yu quickly closed his eyes and sensed the new talent. He discovered that this new talent indeed combined the characteristics of both talents, even inheriting the drawbacks.
"Huh? The Nest of Life has grown ten times larger!" Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise.
Ever since his second talent broke through to SS-rank, he had awakened a skill called Nest of Life, which allowed him to place dead objects with life energy within it to slowly nurture and enhance their life energy.
It was originally small and could only hold one divine corpse, but now it had grown ten times larger.
"However, its increased size has limited use. I have my small world now, so the usefulness of this thing is limited."
Closing the Nest of Life, Lin Yu eagerly wanted to test his new ability.
Just as he was about to experiment with his new ability, the alien man walked over hesitantly.
"Senior..." Mang Gong said respectfully.
Lin Yu turned his head and nodded. "Mm!"
Mang felt a little awkward. He was the tribal chief of the Red Horn tribe. After the human race rose to prominence, they had voluntarily become subordinate to the humans. However, their tribe possessed a demigod-level expert, so they held a high status within the Hundred Races Alliance and had always been self-governing.
Humans generally did not interfere in their internal affairs, so there was no difference before and after they pledged allegiance to the humans.
However, today, Lin Yu had saved him, which was equivalent to saving their entire tribe. He was naturally immensely grateful.
He had previously had some reservations about allying with the humans, but now he was extremely fortunate.
If they hadn't pledged allegiance to the humans, their tribe would have been annihilated.
He couldn't help but sigh, and his gaze towards Lin Yu became fervent.
Lin Yu shivered slightly and quickly said, "It was just a small effort, no need to be so formal. By the way, your tribe paid a great price fighting against these giant insects. The Cabinet will not mistreat you!"
"Regardless, I thank you for saving my life. I will never forget it!" the man said emotionally.
Lin Yu waved his hand, saying, "You are too kind! By the way, are there any gods in this chaotic giant insect world?"
The man shook his head. "There shouldn't be. The insect leader that attacked my tribe only had the strength of a ninth-rank. If not for their fusion technique, I wouldn't have lost. I also sent people to investigate, and it's a demigod realm!"
The individual strength of these insect races was generally not very high, and those who possessed fusion techniques were intelligent leaders. Thus, although the insect race was strong, they were not entirely insurmountable.
Due to their individual limitations, their progress was also extremely difficult, far inferior to races like humans.
Lin Yu nodded.
"If that's the case, you'll accompany me."
"Accompany you?" He looked puzzled.
Lin Yu pointed to the sky and said, "Let's go to this world. That way, they won't come back for revenge when Blue Star undergoes a major change."
The man was stunned.
Actually, Lin Yu's idea was very simple. Since this world had many insects and no strong experts, he could go on a killing spree.
To earn upgrade points, he had to be diligent now.
