336: The extremely cold body is perfected, and the mutant queen is killed

“A…a Perfection Realm Thunder Domain! You little brat sure know how to hide your strength!”

The Fourth Elder looked at the clear sky after the explosion, and his heart suddenly constricted.

First, he had hidden a Perfection Realm Extreme Ice Domain, and now he even had a Perfection Realm Thunder Domain.

This young man actually had so many trump cards.

No wonder he remained so calm after the Phoenix retreated from the battlefield.

And no wonder the Phoenix withdrew from the battlefield without the slightest hesitation; she must have had extreme confidence in him.

Prodigy!

An ordinary person often takes nearly a hundred years to Cultivate a single Domain to Perfection, which is already considered a Genius feat.

This young man, not even twenty years old, had already Cultivated two Perfection Realm Domains. How did he do it?

At this moment, it wasn't just the Fourth Elder who was shocked; even Huang Qianyu, outside the battlefield, couldn't help but let out a surprised 'oh'.

Although Jiang Fan had a Thunder Domain before, it was only Entry-Level. How could it have reached Great Perfection after only a few days?

The key was that during this time, she had been by Jiang Fan's side and hadn't seen him Cultivate much at all.

However, being around Jiang Fan, she had experienced too many similar things, to the point where she was somewhat numb.

Any Cultivation Technique, Martial Skill, or Cultivation problem that she previously found extremely troublesome seemed as simple as eating and drinking to Jiang Fan.

Just as their hearts were fluctuating.

Boom!

The ruins suddenly shook violently.

As the dust dissipated, a six-legged beetle, five or six meters long and entirely black, appeared in everyone's sight.

The beetle exuded a terrifying aura, its pair of dark compound eyes fixated on Jiang Fan in the air.

Seeing this, the Fourth Elder's voice trembled with excitement:

“Jiang Fan, go to hell.

Before the Ancestor Insect, even with your two Perfection Realm Domains, it’s futile.

You will witness what true power is!”

As soon as the Fourth Elder finished speaking, the metallic-glowing beetle suddenly flapped its wings, and instantly, an incomparably fierce wind blade swept towards Jiang Fan in the air like a gale.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The strong winds howled, surging like a tide.

Jiang Fan's clothes flapped, and his black hair flew.

He moved his hands like a dancing butterfly, batting away the incoming wind blades one by one.

Suddenly,

Four black beetles, each the size of a human head, arrived with the wind, moving extremely fast.

“Be careful!”

Huang Qianyu's concerned voice rang in Jiang Fan's ears.

With his powerful perception, these beetles naturally could not escape Jiang Fan's Dharma Eye.

With a thought, he activated Thousand Miles Ice Seal.

Crack! Crack!

Instantly, the four beetles that had entered within three meters of him were all frozen in mid-air.

Previously, when dealing with the black mist primarily composed of sub-worms, Jiang Fan couldn't use ice-type skills because the sub-worms were too small to be captured.

But now, these four beetles were all the size of human heads, making it naturally much simpler to select targets.

However, before Jiang Fan could breathe a sigh of relief.

After a brief suspension in the air, the four beetles suddenly accelerated and charged towards Jiang Fan.

Thousand Miles Ice Seal couldn't restrict their movements at all.

This change in the field was so sudden that even Huang Qianyu didn't react in time to warn him.

Jiang Fan only felt a gust of wind blow across his face.

Although Jiang Fan dodged the attacks of three black beetles in the first instant,

His right hand's back was still grazed by the last beetle.

Screech!

A flash of sparks.

The beetle's blade-like mouthpart rapidly scraped across the back of his hand.

It made a harsh sound, like metal colliding.

“Fortunately, my Vajra Undying Body has reached Major Achievement…”

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Jiang Fan glanced at the back of his hand, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

He saw that the skin on the back of his hand, where the beetle's mouthpart had grazed, was already shriveled into a mass, as if its life force had been extracted, making it dry and much older.

Aging?

Life Siphon?

These few beetles were extremely strange, as if they possessed some ability to drain others' life energy.

Moreover, even with his Extreme Ice Domain's enhancement, Thousand Miles Ice Seal still couldn't freeze these few beetles.

The few beetles didn't break free from the ice's restraint; instead, they directly absorbed the ice into their mouthparts.

It was as if they had devoured the ice.

Jiang Fan's heart was greatly shaken, and his vigilance rose sharply.

“Hahaha! Little brat, these are the elites among the Mutation Mother Insects, one could say they are the Ancestor Insect's guards. They are most effective against your elemental or energy-based attacks!

How will you deal with them now?!”

The Fourth Elder's voice was filled with delight.

Although he failed to lure Jiang Fan into the cave as planned this time.

However, the complete destruction of the Ancestor Insect's nest, inciting the Ancestor Insect's hatred, could also achieve the goal of using a knife to kill someone.

Jiang Fan ignored the Fourth Elder's taunts.

Since the Perfection Domain's Extreme Ice was ineffective, he would upgrade the Rank of the Extreme Ice Cold Body and try using a higher-Rank Thousand Miles Ice Seal.

Based on previous experience, as long as the energy was great enough and the instantaneous energy impact exceeded the beetle's tolerance limit, these annoying fellows could be completely dealt with.

Thinking this, Jiang Fan no longer hesitated and silently chanted:

“System, Evolve!”

[Congratulations to Host for consuming one Ultimate Evolution chance to Evolve Extreme Ice Cold Body from First Stage to Fifth Stage Perfection!]

...

The next moment,

The four beetles, with their terrifying, crab-claw-like mouthparts, once again pounced on Jiang Fan.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As if time had stopped, the four beetles once again halted in mid-air.

“Simply ridiculous! I think you've run out of tricks! Knowing it's useless, you still try to stall with this move…”

The Fourth Elder couldn't help but mock him.

However, before he finished speaking, he saw that the beetles in the air did not break free as before.

In his confusion, four arm-thick bolts of lightning, carrying a violent aura, struck down, completely shattering the four beetles.

As the ice shattered, four thumb-thick black crystals fell towards the ground.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbing the four black crystals with a single claw.

The crystals were entirely black and contained immense energy. Without time to study them carefully, Jiang Fan placed them into his spatial wristband.

Just as expected!

Jiang Fan let out a long breath, a significant amount of his internal Qi having been drawn out.

The Thousand Miles Ice Seal cast by a Fifth Stage Extreme Ice Cold Body was indeed Heaven-Defying.

It could not only freeze living beings but also freeze the surrounding energy fluids.

This greatly enhanced the freezing ability.

However, the drawback was also obvious: it consumed too much Qi.

Just four head-sized beetles had already consumed a considerable amount of Qi; he estimated that with his current Qi reserves, he could only barely use Thousand Miles Ice Seal once on the Ancestor Insect.

“How is this possible?! How could these Mutation Mother Insects be easily frozen? They clearly couldn't be frozen just now!”

The Fourth Elder was somewhat frantic. These Mutation Mother Insects were powerful existences among the Fog Shadow Worms, second only to the Ancestor Insect.

Because Mutation Mother Insects were extremely rare, whenever one evolved, it would be placed by the Ancestor Insect's side.

Even the Church had never tamed a single one.

As for obtaining a Mutation Mother Insect from the Ancestor Insect, that was simply out of the question.
