Deep in the dark cave, Lan Mu could still see what was going on inside.
He was not relying on his mental power, but his half-demon body's amazing night vision.
It had to be the work of the insectoid cerebrum. The moment he went underground, Lan Mu felt that his mental power could not scan his surroundings. It could only scan within three meters at most, which was not as far as his eyes.
This was unprecedented. His mental power was blocked.
There was only darkness in the shielded area, as if the radar had been blocked. This was clearly a sign that the insectoids were proficient in using their mental power, a skill that Lan Mu did not know.
As long as they had enough resources, the insectoids were invincible. They were the first race in the universe that relied on war to sustain war.
Their only weakness was their mental power. As long as their mental power could crush their cerebrum, the insectoids would be helpless no matter how strong they were.
Even so, this weakness, which could not be considered a weakness, was still powerful in the face of the current civilization.
At least Lan Mu, who could be considered the number one person on Earth in terms of mental power, could not deal with this small insectoid cerebrum.
The two large containment organizations had done some research on the insectoids. Under normal circumstances, the insectoids only had one overlord, and the will of the entire race was its will. Of course, to make it easier to rule, there would always be some lower-level insectoid cerebrum to share the burden.
The insectoid's social structure was extremely simple. One insectoid cerebrum controlled a race of insectoids, and above that was the overlord. Like the branches of a tree, their mental power was connected to each other, forming a large and precise mental network.
Every insectoid was a branch. The overlord could transmit its will to any of the lower-level insectoids. When it encountered a strong enemy, it would mobilize the entire race's mental power to unite and fight against it to prevent itself from being mentally defeated.
Although the barrier was small, the enclosed space caused the insectoid cerebrum to lose contact with the moon overlord. It was in a state of autonomy. Therefore, it had no external help and could not connect its' local network 'to the mental network of the entire race.
The higher the level of the cerebrum, the stronger its mental power. The moon overlord was certainly much stronger than the autonomous cerebrum Lan Mu was currently facing, but even so, Lan Mu still could not defeat it with his mental power.
It was not hard to imagine how powerful the moon overlord was.
Lan Mu even had a conjecture. Such a powerful race could not have been born on the moon, so there might be other Zergs in the universe. Then, above the ruler of the moon, there must be a higher-level existence.
If there was a supreme existence that could control the entire universe's Zerg race, then how powerful would its spiritual power be? Lan Mu was almost shocked by his own brain supply. The mental network that was connected across galaxies and controlled billions of insectoids with unfathomable mental power.
"What's the use of thinking so much? It's too far away …"
Lan Mu suppressed his wild thoughts and stepped on the disgusting biological tissues as he went deeper into the cave.
The nest was not a cave like he had imagined. Instead, it was a building covered by a thick biological membrane.
The entire underground seemed to have been hollowed out, and a huge biological structure was placed there. This was the insectoid nest.
He hadn't gone far when he was attacked.
Numerous hard thorns shot out from the membrane, and Lan Mu simply could not avoid these hard thorns in the narrow membrane pipe.
"Puchi puchi!"
The thorns pierced Lan Mu's body, including his heart and brain.
"It really hurts! There seems to be venom … "
Lan Mu endured the pain and forced the thorns out of his body. Rebellion slashed the thorns to pieces.
He used his hands to pull out the thorns one by one, and his wounds quickly healed.
In order not to be attacked, he simply ran, opening a path with his greatsword and slashing without restraint.
All kinds of attacks came at him along the way. Either the membrane suddenly contracted, trying to squeeze him to death.
Or the exploding venom wanted to kill him.
There were also parasites that flooded over like a swarm of bees, trying to forcibly parasitize him.
Lan Mu countered all kinds of attacks.
He had an immortal body, and physical attacks were almost negligible.
The venom was also removed by the azure energy, but the parasites were a little troublesome.
According to the characteristics of adaptability, Lan Mu did not want them to adapt to the azure energy, or else he would be easily parasitized.
The buzzing bugs crawled all over Lan Mu's body. His first reaction was not to let the bugs come into contact with the azure energy too much, so Lan Mu hurriedly used his spiritual shock to attack them.
Every bug was allocated some spiritual power from the insectoid brain, and Lan Mu's powerful spiritual shock wiped them all out. The unconscious bugs fell down one after another.
However, things were not that simple. The insectoid brain had already awakened, and this was a battle it was controlling from behind the scenes.
The parasites that had just fallen down suddenly flew up again, and were given spiritual power again.
When Lan Mu's spiritual shock hit for the second time, the mainframe was already prepared, and the two of them engaged in a spiritual battle again.
Although the mainframe's spiritual power was scattered in every bug's body, it could still unite to attack Lan Mu through the spiritual network.
This was no longer multitasking, but multitasking.
"Ah!"
Lan Mu endured the piercing pain in his heart. The opponent was stronger than him in terms of spiritual power, but fortunately, his spiritual power was twice as strong, so he could barely protect himself.
"Three minutes, I can only hold on for three minutes at most before my spiritual power is severely damaged."
"But where is its main body?"
Lan Mu could not care less, and continued to destroy the nest, forcibly opening a path.
He felt that he was already two hundred meters underground.
"One more minute …"
Lan Mu was already numb from all the slashing. Everywhere he looked, there were bugs everywhere, so many that it was nauseating.
There were only three hundred bugs that could resist the crimson energy, but even so, Lan Mu could still kill them with brute force.
There were mutated bugs with scythe-like limbs, explosive bugs with venom filling their bodies, snake-like bugs with thorns shooting out from their hard armor, and a fat bug that kept spitting parasites to erode Lan Mu.
All kinds of bugs were torn apart by the dancing greatsword and the violent energy.
The Magic Orbs kept growing, and were absorbed by the body.
Suddenly! A large mass of Magic Orbs drilled into the body.
Lan Mu felt that his body had reached a critical point. The swollen crimson energy suppressed the blue energy and overflowed from the surface of his body, forming a violent flame.
"I can transform? Right, I have a demonic form! "
The mixed-blood Dante usually had a balanced human appearance. When the demonic energy was strong, he could transform into a demonic form, and his combat power would increase by several times.
The pitch-black demonic horns were spreading, his face was demonized, and his limbs were becoming more demonic.
A sawtooth black tail swayed behind him, and the crimson flame wrapped around his body, making Lan Mu feel like he was wearing a thick layer of armor.
It had a red and black body structure, and there was a golden scar on its chest that seemed to outline a strange sun.
"My whole body has been demonized … Every part of my body is a weapon! Even the crimson energy has mutated … "
Still using the greatsword, the crimson flame exploded around him, and countless bugs were blown to pieces.
The demonized crimson energy made the antibodies that the bugs had just adapted to lose their effectiveness. Lan Mu, who was venting his anger, released a terrifying shockwave.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
The underground bug hive was baptized by the explosion, and a large area was destroyed.
The intricate membrane bug hive had disappeared, and the sand and soil were exposed, surrounded by a collapsing sand cave.
Without the support of the bug hive membrane, this place was about to collapse.
"Get out of my brain!"
The Insectoid Cerebrum's mental power was about to break through Lan Mu's mental defense, and the battle-thirsty blood in its body was boiling, making Lan Mu extremely irritable.
"Rumble …"
The ground collapsed, and the huge underground cave was instantly buried by sand and rocks.
Wu Zong felt the ground shake violently, and then the ground sank, forming a huge pit.
This was a pit dug by the bugs, and he had no place to stand, so he rolled down with the sand and rocks, and half of his body was buried.
When he saw Lan Mu, who was blowing away the sand and stones, he was dumbfounded.
Lan Mu was no longer the white-haired kid from before, and now he was a real monster!
A human-shaped demon body.
"Come out!"
Lan Mu blasted the earth and rocks, blowing away the sand and rocks.
However, he realized that in a short time, in a place deep in the cave, all the bugs had fused together, swallowing each other and growing until they grew into a twenty-meter-long bug.
The resources here were barren, and even the most crucial biological resources were lacking.
Therefore, if the bugs wanted to evolve into stronger bugs to fight Lan Mu, they could only rely on swallowing each other.
In order to create powerful bug fighters, countless bugs would be sacrificed without any complaints.
This race had no ego, no individual, only a race, and a large collective consciousness called the Insectoid Cerebrum.
In order to protect the Cerebrum, all the bugs were willing to die.
Highly efficient execution. In a short span of ten seconds, a combat Zerg with a tyrannical physical body was born.
Its body was made of metal, with countless functional organs, and the individual was the existence of the group.
It looked like this big bug was an ugly praying mantis, without any sense of beauty, and was purely born to deal with Lan Mu.
The bug's efficiency never had those superficial designs.
"If it was born to protect the Insectoid Cerebrum … then the will of the entire race should be in this bug."
"Killing it is equivalent to destroying the entire race."
"Its corpse must have high research value, so I've decided on you."
Lan Mu ran as if he was flying, bouncing in the air, jumping onto the flying praying mantis, and slashing at it with his sword.
"Chi …"
The big sword left a deep mark on the praying mantis, about a foot long.
But the praying mantis' carapace was even thicker, and after a foot long sword mark, not even flesh could be seen. Who knew if it was made of pure metal!
"It's actually immune to the scarlet energy after my demonization."
Lan Mu shook his head, other than being ugly, this race had no weakness.
"No weakness, just use pure destructive power!"
After destroying Blacktower and killing so many insectoids, Lan Mu had collected many demonic orbs.
When these magic orbs reached the critical point of the first stage, Lan Mu successfully demonized.
Not only did his magic power and appearance change, but he was also stronger.
Although he was not as fast as the True Ancestor of vampires, he was now strong enough to beat the True Ancestor to the ground.
If he couldn't find a weakness, he would defeat the enemy with absolute strength.
