Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

"What the hell is this?"

"A group of ants bigger than rats?"

Outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects.

Lin Hao, who was originally slaughtering the Fire Spirit Ants recklessly, couldn't help but shiver at the sight of the mountain-covered mutated Mountain-shaking Demon Ants.

Especially at the forefront of the ant horde, there were over a dozen extraordinarily huge Mountain-shaking Demon Ants, almost the size of ordinary wildcats.

Their bodies were filled with dense Spiritual Energy, exuding an aura of Chained Realm Demon Beast.

These were indeed the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ant Kings of the ant horde!

Dozens of ants comparable to Chained Realm powerhouses?

Since when could mere ants grow to such an extent?

"Lin Hao, be careful. These ants might not be simple."

The grey-clothed elder stared at the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ant King, growing more and more alarmed.

If it were just one or two ants mutating, that would be one thing.

After all, the Xuanhuan World is vast and boundless, full of endless creations and opportunities.

Even a single blade of grass has the potential to grow strong enough to cut through stars.

Yet he was shockingly aware.

All the Mountain-shaking Demon Ants had identical auras, as if they had cultivated the same Cultivation Technique!

These ants could actually cultivate?

Where did their Cultivation Technique come from?

An ant with the power of Chained Realm is nothing noteworthy.

But if this group of ants has acquired a way to cultivate, this matter is no small concern.

The grey-clothed elder was certain.

If this news spreads, the entire Profound Domain would be shaken!

"If mere ants can step onto the path of cultivation, they might be holding a powerful Demon Race inheritance!"

"If I report this news to the Sect, I'll surely receive a great reward."

The grey-clothed elder's eyes flickered, fixated on the group of Mountain-shaking Demon Ants as if he were eyeing a priceless treasure.

Demon Race inheritances are invaluable; even if the Human Race cannot cultivate them, they can fetch a godlike price at any major merchant guild.

Of course.

He wasn't without thoughts of keeping it all to himself.

But as soon as this idea arose in his mind, he quickly dispelled the thought of claiming it for himself.

After all, the implications of a Demon Race inheritance are far too significant, and this cause and effect is not something he could bear.

With this thought.

The grey-clothed elder immediately channeled his Spiritual Power, forming a giant hand of Spiritual Energy to grab tens of Mountain-shaking Demon Ants, throwing them into his Storage Ring.

And this action provoked the entire ant horde's fury.

The dozen or so Mountain-Shaking Demon Ant Kings let out roars, leading the Ant Race army in an onslaught from all directions towards Lin Hao and the others.

"Quickly, let's go. This is no place to linger; we need to leave this place first and talk later."

Seeing this, the grey-clothed elder's eyelid twitched as he hurriedly called out, then rushed towards the outskirts of the mountain region.

Although his power was substantial, and he was only half a step away from the Carefree Realm.

But the sheer number of Mountain-shaking Demon Ants was overwhelming.

Moreover, many of these ants had already embarked on the path of cultivation.

Their bodies were impenetrable and immune to both water and fire, able to resist most low-level spell damage.

In large swarms, they could easily exhaust the grey-clothed elder to death here!

"Go!"

Lin Hao and the others felt a chill run down their spines and dared not linger any longer.

Yet, despite their numbers, how could the Mountain-shaking Demon Ants compare with Human Race cultivators skilled in various Martial Techniques and armed with Weapons?

The grey-clothed elder extended his hand, calling forth boundless Spiritual Energy, which coalesced into countless Sword Qi.

These Sword Qi were sharp and could pierce the ants' defenses easily.

Especially under the grey-clothed elder's control.

All the Sword Qi transformed into a Sword Qi Dragon, carving a path through the seemingly endless Ant Race army!

"Puff, puff, puff!"

One by one, the Mountain-shaking Demon Ants were pierced by the sharp Sword Qi before they could react, sliced into countless pieces.

Even the formidable Mountain-Shaking Demon Ant King suffered severe injuries, covered in blood, rendered incapable of battle.

"Elder Li's mastery of Sword Qi Dragon Transformation is unparalleled, likely rivaling even a Carefree Realm power's single strike."

Lin Hao couldn't help but feel elated and invigorated by the elder's formidable power.

Just as they were about to escape safely.

A streak of golden light came whistling from the sky, landing in front of them in an instant.

"Flying in the sky, is this a Carefree Realm powerhouse?"

The grey-clothed elder and others' pupils constricted, halting their steps immediately.

The young man before them, with a tender and immature face, was dressed in dirty beast-hide clothing, resembling a primitive wild man.

But his aura was deep as an ocean, giving off an unfathomable sensation!

"Lin Hao, a direct disciple of the Xuanqing Sect, greets the senior."

Seeing this, Lin Hao's expression shifted slightly, and he stepped forward, announcing himself at the first opportunity.

The others quickly stepped forward too, bowing in salute.

Although the grey-clothed elder was only half a step away from the Carefree Realm, he was old and frail, likely never to take that step in this lifetime.

And Lin Hao, regardless of identity or potential, far surpassed the grey-clothed elder.

Naturally, among their group, they followed his lead.

"These Ant Race creatures have no grievance with you. Why did you cruelly slaughter them?"

Lu Yuan cast a glance at the heap of demon ant corpses in the distance and asked coldly.

Lin Hao's heart skipped a beat, silently thinking things had turned bad.

These Ant Race creatures' origins were not ordinary, possessing Cultivation Techniques, very likely nurtured by the person in front of them.

Now that Lu Yuan had blocked their path, he evidently intended to demand an explanation!

"Senior, these Ant Race creatures attacked us without reason, forcing us to defend ourselves."

"If there has been any offense, my Xuanqing Sect is willing to compensate for all losses."
