"Great King, we've lost more than ten thousand troops, while the enemy has only fifty thousand soldiers left."

Cypress reported the numbers.

"Good! Prepare the Explosive Jet!"

Dragon Cypress ordered, and simultaneously maneuvered the Cloud Mist Giant Ant to flap its wings powerfully, suddenly ascending, performing a roll to distance from the Kirin Beast, diving headfirst into the sea of clouds.

The Kirin Beast was worried about its side's heavy losses. Suddenly seeing the Giant Ant flee, it considered the opponents to have suffered even more severe losses and decided they were defeated, hesitating not at all, flapping all eight wings, twisting its body to accelerate pursuit.

The Giant Ant suddenly lifted its head, flipped over, completing a reverse roll, instantly turning around, facing the Kirin Beast, then flapped its wings to accelerate, appearing right above the Kirin Beast.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh...

Explosive Jet!

Twenty thousand Ice Pillars were fired simultaneously, concentrating on the Kirin Beast's abdomen.

At such close range, there was no time to react.

The Ice Pillars pierced through the thick fog, hitting the hidden Ant swarm.

With the rumble of explosions, the Soldier Ants surrounding the Ant King and Assistant King were caught off guard.

Heart of the Ant King!

Spirit Impact!

Conscious Displacement!

Soul-Intoxicating!

Soul Seal!

Taking advantage of the momentary interval of the Ant King's alarm and panic, five Soul System abilities burst forth simultaneously.

Though ordinary abilities, the sudden effect was extraordinary.

The attack that the Eight-Winged Kirin Beast had just launched collapsed, the entire Cloud Mist form relaxing, experiencing a momentary loss of control. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Clap~ Clap~ Clap...

The Giant Ant shrank, its form quickly changing into a Whirl Beast with twelve Lightning tendrils.

The twelve tendrils shot out, a series of twelve Touches of Silver Light.

Two of the Silver Lightning tendrils repelled the Assistant King attempting to move.

The Kirin Beast Ant King had yet to recover from the Soul System attack and was struck solidly ten times, causing the just-regained control of the Cloud Mist Kirin Beast to loosen once more, nearly collapsing.

——Opportunity!

Ink Orchid, lurking in the sea of clouds and observing secretly, saw the opportunity and suddenly erupted.

A flash of crimson lightning streaked across, illuminating the dark cloud sea.

The fierce light flashed, directly piercing through the Kirin Beast's abdomen.

Thunder Explosion! Thunder Explosion! Thunder Explosion...

Rumbling fiery thunder and light exploded inside the Kirin Beast's belly, blasting open large holes, directly blowing through, exposing the hidden Ant King.

Touch of Origin Fire!

A flash of silver light vanished, penetrating from the side of the Ant King's neck, piercing through a cavity, igniting with ghostly white flames.

Touch of Origin Fire!

Another flash of silver light.

The Assistant King beside the Ant King had its head pierced.

Crimson and silver-white lightning flashed back and forth.

The Ant King's head was cut off.

The cloud mist form of the seven-hundred-meter-long Eight-Winged Kirin Beast collapsed, releasing the terrified and lamenting Assistant King and Soldier Ants to fall towards the land below.

The peak power clash erupted suddenly without warning and ended within a brief thirty seconds.

——Great King! How was my timing with this opportunity?

Releasing the form ability, Ink Orchid clawed, the Catching Feet piercing the Ant King's head and securely held in the claw.

Little Ink Orchid, lurking nearby, flashed and landed atop Ink Orchid, merging within its body.

The Primordial Energy consumed in the extreme burst recovered to completion instantly.

"Mighty Second King~"

Dragon Cypress sighed in relief yet did not dare relax, turning to look at the three bizarrely shaped Flying Sea Beasts battling with the White Crystal Butterfly King in the distance.

The three Flying Sea Beasts immediately sensed it, struggling to break free from the entanglement, merging together, fleeing westward.

"Kill them!"

Ink Orchid flashed and descended onto the Cloud Mist Giant Ant's head, raising the Ant King's head, shouting with spiritual power.

"Don't pursue!"

Dragon Cypress urgently stopped, "White Crystal Butterfly King, there is still a kilometer-long Kirin Beast lurking on the island's East Coast, it has probably already launched an attack to assault the command palace where the five Leaders are. Return to defend quickly!"

"No! No need!"

Ink Orchid hastily shouted, "Mountain Pepper, Azure Mica, Bloodvine, Sedge, the four Leaders have already rallied all forces in the Central Region, abandoning the main nest and are attacking towards the west. The Dark Maple Dragonfly King is deploying troops at the coastal base and should be on the way here to assist."

White Crystal Butterfly King: "..."

Dragon Cypress's thoughts rapidly turned, realizing the intent of the four Leaders.

The remaining forces in the Central Region surely couldn't stop the kilometer-long Kirin Beast, so they straightforwardly headed west to join with the main army, relying on each other back to back, though facing attacks from two sides, it could avoid being broken apart and hold steadfastly until reinforcements arrived from the Dark Maple Dragonfly King.

"Wise choice."

Dragon Cypress praised aloud, shifted thoughts, and the Giant Ant descended, hovering under the dark clouds.

Dragon Cypress, Cypress, and Silver Cypress appeared, launching the Scorching ability together, gazing towards the island's central direction.

Sure enough, the army was no longer stationed concentratively.

Adjusting angles, they continued searching.

Quickly, they discovered,

Millions of Ant Clan and Bee Clan troops were hurrying towards the battlefield here, arriving soon.

Silver Cypress exclaimed in a low voice, "Great King! I see the kilometer-long Kirin Beast! It's chasing behind the army, only five kilometers away."

Dragon Cypress adjusted the viewpoint immediately.

Indeed, a winding kilometer-long river was roaring wildly.

On the left and right banks of the river, two million of the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army raced to follow, frantically pursuing.

"Ink Orchid, give me the Ant head. You hide."

"White Crystal Butterfly King, assist in battle!"

"Cypress, Silver Cypress, prepare for battle!"

Dragon Cypress retracted the Scorching ability, its figure sinking into the Cloud Mist Giant Ant, disappearing.

Cypress, Silver Cypress twisted their bodies, drilling into the cloud mist, issuing commands, organizing the remaining Specialized Blue Soldiers, preparing for the next large battle.

"To deal with the kilometer-long Kirin Beast? Can we win?"

Ink Orchid hesitated for a moment, vigorously shaking the Catching Feet, tossing the Ant head into the cloud mist, spreading its wings to leap, disappearing into the overhead cloud sea.

The kilometer-long Giant Ant flapped its wings, dived headfirst out of the cloud sea, nose-diving towards the forest ten kilometers away.

"Stop!"
