Once a new insect queen is born, all the sealed Zerg will riot, awakening spontaneously, and forcibly impact the seal in search of the insect queen, igniting a new wave of battles. Therefore, if they are not given a queen to guard, the Zerg will continuously evolve and strengthen, eventually leading to an uncontrollable rebellion, regardless of how many armies are deployed.
Thus, capturing the insect queen requires using secret techniques to seal the queenâs consciousness, and coordinate with arrays to suppress it, ensuring that if the queen is kept in check, the other Zerg will also quiet down.
However, the insect queen is a living organism, subject to aging, sickness, and death. To prevent a riot in case of the queenâs demise, itâs essential to prepare extra eggs for replacement.
This one may have been destroyed by you, but by consuming the egg, tainted with the queenâs aura, it can temporarily enter the seal, allowing the insect queen below to regenerate an egg and place it back.
Luckily, the resources of Taiji Heaven are finite, and at any given time, the number of insect queens existing in the world is fixed. Therefore, with a mother insect and an egg prepared, a large batch of Zerg can be suppressed.
Enough said, you wouldnât believe it even if more was explained, wear me and Iâll take you to see the insects lay eggs yourself."
Then, with a "swish," the Bai Yang Centipede Armor automatically scattered, each component flying before Huangfu Yi as if ready to integrate with him.
Huangfu Yi was stunned; despite his deep disbelief in demons, he paradoxically felt the words spoken were truthful. And this armor...
He picked up an arm guard, placing it on his elbow, inserting the barbs on the inner armor into the meridians at the acupoints. Huangfu Yi felt the sharp teeth-like barbs piercing into his muscles and bones, integrating seamlessly with the meridian acupoint. The centipede armor perfectly extended and embraced his body as if it were his skin, with even the tactile sensation from the fingertips detected.
Bai Yang observed Huangfu Yiâs proficiency and became curious.
"Youâve worn it before?"
Worn it, yes, isnât this the Yangjing War Remains, just added centipede skin, might even need to pay for customization...
Bai Yang said,
"Youâve even worn the Imperial Divine Weapon, and know about the Spiritual Clanâs history. Indeed, you come from a distinguished background.
Furthermore, possessing exceptional bone and muscle talent, you are undoubtedly a Martial Godâs seed, with such cultivation at a young age.
Hmm, it seems destined to be, you were born to guard the Immortal Palace."
Huangfu Yi was speechless,
"Who the heck is born to be their gatekeeper..."
"Boom!"
Just like the first time wearing the War Remains, Huangfu Yi unleashed his strength effortlessly, breaking through the treasury with the centipede armor, soaring like a superhuman, smashing through dozens of restrictions, leaping out of Demon City like a meteor.
Too outrageous...
Huangfu Yi gazed at his fists, trying to grip and gather strength, instantly feeling an inexhaustible surge welling up, capable of dismantling the surrounding Demon Clanâs buildings at will.
The amplification from the Yangjing War Remains couldnât even reach a dozen to twenty times, but this Bai Yang Centipede Armor amplified at least thirty, no, fortyfold...
Bai Yang said,
"Thatâs because your Gang Fist has been trained to withstand a fortyfold power increase. In fact, with the capability of the Imperial Divine Weapon, dare I say, not just forty but four hundred, five hundred times the strength can be amplified, itâs just whether you can withstand it."
Huangfu Yi frowned, suddenly realizing something amiss,
"Wait a minute, if youâve guarded the seal for tens of thousands of years, how do you know the Immortal Palace?
Moreover, how do you know the Imperial Divine Weapon? Besides, this Battle Armor is clearly designed for human meridians!
According to you, over ten thousand years ago, it was the Spiritual Clan against the Insect Clan, why would there be humanoid armors then!"
Bai Yang chuckled,
"Humanoid? Itâs insect-shaped.
I did mention, all living beings, feather, armor, scale, shellworm, originally everyone was an insect.
Because the mature insects grown from the insect queen take this form, Taiji Heaven was specifically modified for the Zerg to inhabit, the Spiritual Qi can only cultivate in insect form. The Zergâs weapons and equipment can only be utilized in insect form.
Thus, our Five Worms, ultimately refining into Tao Bodies, transformed into such forms. Back then, we termed these forms âSpirit Qi Bodies,â what, you now call them âhumansâ?
Whatever, itâs just a term. As for the Immortal Palace...
The Immortal Palace originated from Outer Heaven, existing far longer than our Spiritual Clan, seemingly adversaries to the Zerg, rumored to be engaged in battles across the heavens and worlds, weâre but a niche battlefield. Itâs under their support that our Spiritual Clan could successfully defeat the Zerg.
Not only the Imperial Divine Weapon, but also weapons that could counter the Zerg, and the techniques for sealing the insect queen, were all taught to us by them.
Even you Shellworms, originally crawl like maggots, just served as food for the Spiritual Clan; however, due to the dreadful losses on the battlefield and insufficient troops, the Immortal Palace upgraded and evolved you, ultimately developing into top-tier warriors like the Immortal Venerable.
However, Immortal Palace envoys usually reside on stars, rarely appearing in the world, only occasionally recruiting South Heavenly Gate guards when interacting with us.
Iâve never seen them anyway, theyâre grossed out by the centipedesâ appearance..."
