160: Filling progress!

The Zerg Swarm, like a plague of locusts, swept through everything in its path.

Lesser Myanmar had almost no power to resist.

It could only watch as the Zerg Swarm drove straight in, surging from Lesser Laos to Hanoi, and then from Hanoi toward the Great Xia border.

And that border was the battlefield for Ye Su and the others!

The Zerg Swarm was about to arrive!

The sky was a dull, hazy grey.

The Zerg Swarm swept in, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.

Ye Su could even see the 'black clouds' in the distance that obscured the sun.

“You all are finished!”

The Ant King roared.

Its Aura began to surge.

The game was over!

With the Zerg Swarm in hand, it would become even stronger.

Whether it was Ye Su or the Yao Race below, they would all die.

Ye Su was still stalling for time.

It wasn't yet time for the general offensive.

The Zerg Swarm was the turning point.

It would be when the Ant King was at its strongest, but also when it was at its weakest.

The waters of Beibu Gulf churned.

Dozens of Flood Dragons were stirring up storms and waves.

Although the Merfolk groups weren't there, these dozens of Flood Dragons were enough to trigger a tsunami.

That was the plan.

A tsunami from Beibu Gulf would directly deliver countless Sea Race members to the battlefield.

Numbers?

You have many Zerg, but does my Sea Race not have many as well?

Furthermore...

With the boost from the tsunami, my Sea Race also has flying units.

In this way, within this battlefield area, your Ant King's forces will be severely restricted, ultimately affecting your combat power.

In the end, we will surround and kill you!

To this end...

The Albatross carried a Pangolin King-level Lifeform, constantly patrolling the border, precisely because they were worried the Ant King would use flight to escape.

In the air, can you outfly an Albatross?

On the ground, can you outrun Lord Mountain?

Fearing you might burrow, they even brought a professional.

Whether in the sky or under the earth, an Inescapable Net has been cast.

With three races moving together, they were determined to surround and kill you!

heavenly luck?

Let's see how you try to save it!

The tsunami took shape.

It began to invade.

Countless Sea Race members pushed it forward from within; the massive waves rolled onward like the tide of history!

On the other side, black clouds billowed and dust rose from the ground as the Zerg Swarm charged toward the battlefield as if entering an uninhabited land.

If there truly was a grand trend, then...

The grand trend began to coalesce right here!

This battle would change the distribution of power on Blue Star.

Whether the Zerg would ultimately take the lead and suppress all other races, or whether a balance would be struck, depended on this single wave!

The atmosphere of the battlefield was frozen.

The Ant King was waiting for the Zerg Swarm.

Ye Su was waiting for the grand trend.

All of these finally began to converge.

The black clouds drew closer and closer.

And the tsunami also rapidly approached.

“Sea Race... How dare you!”

The Ant King was furious.

It never imagined that the Sea Race would get involved in an inland region like this.

Was the ocean not vast enough?

What are you rushing in here for?

To be meddlers?

Finally—amidst the Ant King's ashen face.

Blue and black collided violently!

Boom—the water surged.

A battlefield of hundreds of millions suddenly formed.

In an instant, the world was dominated by the color red.

Countless Flying Fish demons flew out from the waves, surging into the sky to slaughter the Zerg.

Countless corpses fell toward the sea like a torrential downpour.

On the surface of the sea, terrestrial Zerg were also slaughtering the Sea Race.

Suddenly.

This pot of azure seawater seemed to become viscous.

Red was spreading; blood dyed the sea surface.

Countless sea monsters and Zerg were crammed inside, making it seem as if the seawater no longer flowed!

The Flood Dragons also participated, constantly stirring up the waves.

The Sea Race was actually quite clever.

The Merfolk must have instructed the Flood Dragons not to rush into the actual core battlefield.

With the lineup on that battlefield...

Lord Mountain, Ye Su, the Ant King—if you rush up there, you'll likely end up as snacks.

So.

They just hid in the seawater and enjoyed an all-you-can-eat buffet.

If we can't beat you, can we not beat them?

That race loved bullying the weak to their core!

Meanwhile, the high-end battlefield was entirely in mid-air.

With the Sea Race's obstruction, it was meaningless for the Zerg to rush over in small groups.

The aftershocks of the battle alone could shatter them.

“Heh, this is targeting me, isn't it?”

The Ant King laughed in anger.

“However, aren't you all looking down on me too much!”

The Zerg Swarm had arrived, bringing an overwhelming momentum.

But even without that momentum, the Ant King had enough confidence!

The armor all over its body began to change color.

It was a deep red.

Second Stage?

No, it seemed to be a method even more tyrannical than the Second Stage.

“Ye Su!”

“I'm full of a desire to share right now; I want to tell you some secrets!”

The Ant King, having finished its transformation, was arrogant beyond measure.

Or rather, its confidence had exploded!

“In this era, the progress of individual cultivation can be filled through timing!”

“You can think of it as 'Heaven-Chosen Progress'!”

“In your human words... when your territory is large enough and you've condensed enough heavenly luck, then... you can unlock the third stage!”

Ye Su's brow twitched.

Holy crap.

An achievement reward?

As soon as the Ant King said this...

Whether it was Lord Mountain or the Flood Dragons in the sea, they all stiffened slightly.

Ye Su saw the slightly stiffened Lord Mountain.

His heart skipped a beat.

Hey, hey, hey—Lord Mountain, you couldn't have already gotten this achievement reward, could you?

Damn, you're that sneaky?

Lord Mountain had expanded his territory, so it was highly likely he had obtained the third stage achievement.

And then, he was still waiting for Ye Su and the Ant King to fight to the death.

Impressive!

If the Ant King hadn't let his confidence explode and blurted this out, Ye Su really wouldn't have guessed it.

After all.

In this era, Great Xia had no thoughts of expanding its territory; just looking after its own 9.6 million square kilometers was already a headache.

Where would they get the energy!

So, this achievement reward had nothing to do with Ye Su.

As for the Sea Race.

That was normal; it was too difficult for them to expand their territory.

When the Sea Race went ashore, their combat power plummeted by 90%; stirring up tsunamis every day was something even the Merfolk King couldn't handle.

This news was still very shocking to the Flood Dragons!

“third stage?”

Ye Su was eager to try.

Sorry.

Ever since his Soul manifested and began to gradually strengthen, Ye Su really did have an inkling of this.

It felt like being a hair's breadth away.

Filling through timing?

Can't I just practice it myself?

Taking the path of heavenly luck has too much backlash.

Practicing it yourself is much safer!

“Why don't you try it?”

The Ant King sneered.

His whole body charged forward.

One whip.

Ye Su was sent flying backward.

The boost was too massive!

And this whip seemed to carry a Soul attack... No, it was a kind of forced suppression similar to a difference in levels.

It was as if its basic attack power was naturally stronger than his, so even when blocked, some overflow would always act upon his body.

It was a bit like a forced knockback effect.

This forced knockback would cause Ye Su a slight dizzy effect, which was why he initially thought it was a Soul attack.

“It should be extra damage added through heavenly luck,”

Ye Su thought to himself.

“So this is the secret of the third stage.”

“One must attach extra damage to attacks to successfully enter the third stage.”

“Then...”

“Based on my own power system, where should I look for extra damage?”

Ye Su looked inward.

Then, he stared at the heart ape in his Sea of Consciousness.

It seems—this fellow is the key!

As soon as the heart ape saw that Little Ye Su had come to life, its first reaction was to bolt.

Don't you come over here!
