Second Bug Egg: Eleven-Order Four Fiends Insect Soldiers
Accompanied by a roar that shattered gold and stone, this Insect Soldier, resembling an adult gray wolf, broke through its bug egg.
The black Evil Qi around its body had condensed into a viscous liquid. Each step it took left a half-meter deep tar-like mark on the ground, with faint purple electric light flickering at the edges of the marks.
Four pairs of jointed limbs grew barbed bone spurs at their ends. The sonic boom they created when swung was like it could shatter surrounding glass.
Zhou Qi sensed its life strength reached 30 points. The Evil Qi wing membrane newly grown on its back gently flapped, actually drawing several streaks of light and shadow in the air.
Third Bug Egg: Eleven-Order He Bo Insect
A silver figure leaped like lightning into a nearby artificial pool. This He Bo Insect was nearly two meters long, its scales like flowing mercury, each one engraved with Water Element Law runes.
It opened its mouth and sucked, and the surrounding ten cubic meters of water instantly condensed into ice spears, their tips flickering with faint blue electric light.
Its life strength was also 30 points, and the gill slits newly evolved on its tail could directly extract water molecules from the air, allowing it to create a tsunami out of thin air even in dry lava zones.
When it swayed its tail, the surrounding water vapor condensed into countless water blades, rotating around its body like satellites.
Fourth Bug Egg: Eleven-Order Spiked Horned Tyrant Bug
Accompanied by the ground's violent tremor, this Tyrant Bug, like a heavy tank, smashed through its eggshell.
The spiked horns on its back had a crystal texture, with golden energy liquid surging within like magma. Each impact turned the rocks within ten meters into powder.
Zhou Qi measured its life strength at 38 points. The tip of its spiked horn could draw earth vein energy, causing regional earthquakes—when it slammed its spiked horn into the ground, the rock layers within a hundred meters rippled with energy fluctuations.
Fifth Bug Egg: Eleven-Order Zhu Yan Demon Insect
Its height did not change much, but its wingspan reached five meters. As it moved, the entire palace was instantly enveloped in lightning.
The wing veins of this Zhu Yan Demon Insect were like a living circuit diagram. Each flap drew the Nine Heavens thunder, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of ozone and sulfur.
The energy spear in its hand could condense into tangible lightning snakes. When a lightning snake opened its mouth and bit, it could even bite out distorted ripples in space.
Its life strength was 45 points, and it had newly awakened a four-star talent: Thundercloud Domain—when it flapped its wings, miniature thunderclouds would appear in the sky, and the lightning they cast could precisely strike its locked targets.
Sixth Bug Egg: Eleven-Order Mingling Devil
When the two-meter-tall figure broke out of the egg, space produced a noticeable distortion.
The sharp blades on its arms flowed like liquid metal. Each swing was accompanied by a sonic boom and spatial ripples, and blue spatial energy continuously overflowed from the deep grooves cut into the ground.
The four pairs of wings on its back converged into energy light blades, unfolding like blooming flowers of death.
Zhou Qi sensed its life strength soaring to 53 points, equivalent to the life strength of a lower demigod, and it had awakened the preliminary ability of 【Spatial Slash】—a blade light slashed out, and a distant alloy pillar was cut in half, the cut surface flickering with micro-light like quantum foam.
Seventh Bug Egg: Eleven-Order Mind Control Demon Bug
A translucent purple figure floated in the air, its internal Mental Energy core shining like a supernova.
The Mental Energy field it emitted could instinctively make weaker creatures within a hundred meters kneel.
With a slight tremor of its tentacles, metal machinery dozens of meters away instantly short-circuited, and indecipherable garbled code frantically jumped on the display screens.
Its Mental Energy strength was extremely powerful. The 【Telekinesis】 talent could easily crush a ten-centimeter thick alloy plate and could also simulate the brainwaves of target organisms, achieving short-term thought hijacking.

Zhou Qi moved among these newly born Eleven-Order Family, feeling distinctly different pressures.
His heart couldn't help but swell with pride.
"This is a true feeding ground..." Zhou Qi looked at the spatial passage in the bug nest, where the unique dark red sunlight of the Iron-Blood World was streaming in.
Once, the Iron-Blood World kept him awake at night.
But now, these endless lives would become the best source of Evolution Points.
July 10, 2017
Current Evolution Points: 685 Origin Points
The war continued unabated, and in the blink of an eye, a week passed.
Iron-Blood World
Zhou Qi stood high above the purplish-blue light membrane of the spatial passage, his clothes flapping violently in the strong wind.
Below, ten ruined bug nests came into view, with columnar black smoke rising from them. Among the broken walls and ruins, Eleven-Order Army Ants surged like dark gold streams.
Each of them was as large as a small teddy bear, and the plasma sparks that burst out when their mandibles bit together melted spiderweb-like cracks into the obsidian walls.
The faint green Bug Nest Origin seeped out along the cracks, winding like a fluorescent stream in the morning light, and was entirely absorbed by the siphon tubes at the nose of the Spiked Horned Tyrant Bug, emitting a faint "sizzling" sound, as if a greedy drinker.
"The core area of the seventh bug nest has been cleared, Master."
Uka's roar cracked the ground, sending shattered rocks flying like rain.
The dome of the bug nest beneath its giant claws shattered like glazed glass, and the broken carapaced beams fell.
Startling a group of Mingling Devils—the spatial light blades on their wings were cutting the neural links of the remaining Ironblood Bugmen. Green blood evaporated into a fluorescent mist under the light blades, and when absorbed by the blue light of the distant evolution origin point, it formed circles of faint green energy ripples.
When the ripples spread to Zhou Qi's feet, the light membrane rippled subtly, like a lake into which a stone had been thrown.
Zhou Qi overlooked this conquered land.
The newly born Eleven-Order Army Ants were already thirty centimeters long, their dark gold exoskeletons refracting six rainbows in the rising sun, each halo subtly fluctuating with their breathing.
When they lined up to gnaw on the bug nest walls, their mandibles collided with a crisp sound like shattering diamonds. Small plasma sparks condensed at the edge of each crack, falling like stardust, accumulating into a thin layer of luminous powder on the ground.
The Spiked Horned Tyrant Bug, closely following, absorbed the Origin seeping from the walls with its wrinkled proboscis, letting out a satisfied low growl from its throat. The muscles on its chest heaved violently with each swallowing motion, transporting the energy to the bulging sac on its back—that sac glowed faintly green through its translucent skin, like a jade pot filled with nectar.
This bug nest, built of unknown material, was indeed a Treasure Trove containing special substances.
After consuming it, the Bug Clan Family could not only increase their own life strength but also convert it into Evolution Points.
Black dust mist suddenly rose on the horizon, sweeping in like a tsunami.
Chronos's roar pierced the battlefield: "Ironblood Alpha Bug swarm!"
The Lizard King's fourteen golden horns tossed up burning fragments of the dome, and the plasma entwined between its horns resonated with the lightning of the Flying Thunder Centipede, drawing faint blue trajectories in the air. Wherever it passed, dust was ionized into pale purple light bands.
