Do not die

At such a critical moment, Meng Zhou did not focus on his own tribulation, but was distracted by other things. His purpose was very clear, which was to confirm the status of these golden armored spirit insects.

In order to avoid being disturbed by his own state of mind, Meng Zhou took the initiative to cut off all attention to the outside world since he entered the "Starry Sky Lake" this time.

The golden armored spirit insects that were carefully hidden by him and quietly sleeping in the Eight Wastelands of the Outer Domain, from waking up to a series of actions after breaking the beast bag, were all designed by him in advance.

They were all strictly following the "schedule" they had set in advance.

As for what their current state is, whether they have begun to cross the tribulation, whether the tribulation has been successful or not... Meng Zhou was not clear about all of this.

Until this moment, when he "connected" with those golden armored spirit insects again, Meng Zhou finally knew that these golden armored spirit insects not only successfully triggered the true spirit tribulation, but also had reached the last moment.

The distance between these golden armored spirit insects scattered in the Eight Wastelands of the Outer Domain and him was much farther than those Tai Sui bodies in various beast forms scattered throughout the Starry Sea.

But in Meng Zhou's perception, the "light balls" displayed by these golden armor spirit insects are unique in terms of brightness and size.

Even the "light balls" that are closest to them, representing the clones of the Fanlu Star Lotus, with the strength of the third-grade top-grade, pale in comparison.

This shows that the individual strength of these golden armor spirit insects has made a leap forward.

This is a gratifying change.

——This is also a change that occurred after the sublimation and transformation at the spiritual level this time.

Before, because the distance was too far, he could barely sense the golden beetle group.

But if it is more specific, it will be very vague.

Relatively speaking, Meng Zhou's perception of the "transparent round mirror" made of the life poison assimilated by the soul pool, and the Fanlu Star Lotus spirit body implanted with the third-grade top-grade soul clone, is clearer.

Now, all this is not only easier to do, but also clearer. Meng Zhou has a clear feeling that as long as he wants, he can go deep into a specific "light ball" at any time and immerse himself in it in a first-person perspective.

...

But soon, after noticing the number of "light balls" corresponding to these golden armor spirit insects, Meng Zhou was shocked again.

At the beginning, Meng Zhou used the blood and blood he had accumulated over the years to cultivate a total of 64,000 golden armor spirit insects.

He directly divided these golden armor spirit insects into eight parts and placed them in eight wastelands.

That is to say, before the true spirit calamity was triggered, there were 8,000 golden armor spirit insects in each wasteland.

But now, the "light balls" representing the golden armor spirit insects are not even 800, let alone 8,000.

The better situation is that there are still 400 to 500.

The worst situation is that the number has even fallen below 200.

After reconnecting, the "transparent round mirror" was updated in the "interpretation world", and Meng Zhou was very clear about the current situation of the true spirit calamity.

Just like the heavenly calamity he was experiencing, the intensity of the true spirit calamity was also stronger than the other.

And there was an obvious hurdle every nine times, and the intensity of the heavenly calamity would be significantly enhanced.

In addition, there is an obvious interval between each heavenly tribulation, which allows the tribulation to adjust and breathe.

Between every nine heavenly tribulations, the intensity of the heavenly tribulation will reach a new height, and the time interval will become longer.

Perhaps, this is just a necessary process for the heavenly tribulation to accumulate more power, but it also objectively allows the tribulation-crosser to have a longer time to adjust and recover more calmly.

Now, just when I paid attention to it, the golden armor spirit insect had experienced 4936 heavenly tribulations in a row.

Now, it is the interval when the heavenly tribulation is "accumulating strength to climb higher" again.

Judging from the scale of the tribulation cloud, the wave that is now accumulating strength should be the last wave, and also the strongest wave.

Since he just happened to "see" all this at this time, he certainly can't stand idly by and watch the golden armor spirit insects, whose number has been sharply reduced, continue to lose.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou had an idea and wanted to go deeper into these "light balls".

In his opinion, if he faced this last wave of heavenly tribulation instead of the golden armor spirit insect, the loss would be much smaller anyway.

But when he made this decision, his mind went deeper into the "light ball" representing the golden armored spirit insects.

Accidents happened one after another.

First, when his mind began to approach the depth, the "light ball" representing the golden armored spirit insects showed obvious resistance.

The brilliance of the "light ball" suddenly flickered sharply, and the thought that he thought he could easily go deeper felt obvious obstacles.

Meng Zhou was shocked and quickly understood what was going on.

These golden armored spirit insects can be said to be basically born from his heart's blood.

With the continuous cultivation of sufficient and increasingly high-quality heart's blood, the strength of the golden beetle group is advancing by leaps and bounds. As for each golden armored spirit insect, it is unknown how many have been replaced.

In the end, they have already become very different from the golden armored spirit insects in the outside world.

It has become a unique and strange insect group that belongs exclusively to him.

From another perspective, they can even be understood as the embodiment, activation, and insect group of his heart's blood.

Their blood also bears a deep mark that belongs to Meng Zhou.

However, some time ago, I took the initiative to cut off the connection with these golden armored spirit insects.

It's still at this moment when they are crossing the border to overcome the tribulation.

On the one hand, I took the initiative to loosen the "chain" tied to them.

On the other hand, in the process of overcoming the tribulation, the Golden Armored Spirit Insects experienced wave after wave of life and death tests. Those who survived were able to break through the original shackles again and again, constantly sublimating, and constantly rushing to new heights. .

In the process, the "brand" belonging to him in the blood of the golden armored spirit insect inevitably became weaker and weaker.

In other words, these golden armored spirit insects were gradually breaking away from his control as their bloodlines continued to sublimate.

Meng Zhou estimated that it would be a little later if he "came over".

If these golden-armored spirit insects completely survive the true spirit tribulation and become fourth-level true spirits, they will completely break free from their control.

Even if there is a remedy, it must be dealt with at close range.

Anyway, don't even think about sensing the "life light group" they represent from such a long distance.

"Okay, okay, okay, I came here in time."

Meng Zhou felt very happy.

What he was most fortunate about was not that he had saved these golden beetles that he had managed to cultivate to such an extent.

Instead, he caught the "chain" that was about to be released in time.

He knew very well that once these golden-armored spirit insects that had survived the True Spirit Tribulation were allowed to regain complete freedom and return to their "natural nature", it would bring terrible disasters to the eight wastelands of the outer world.

For all life in the eight wastelands of the Outer Realm, it was an apocalyptic horror.

"so far so good."

While Meng Zhou was rejoicing in his heart, he did not hesitate to overwhelm the "light ball" that showed resistance, forcefully penetrated into it, and firmly grasped the "chain" that was about to be released in his hand.

At this point, Meng Zhou thought the accident was over.

But what shocked him on the spot was that just when he thought he had done all this quietly, he would be able to deal with the next wave of catastrophe more calmly.

Above the swarm of golden beetles, the calamity that had already gathered momentum and was about to pour down was suddenly suppressed.

The size of the calamity clouds in the sky suddenly continued to grow.

"..." Meng Zhou.

After being stunned for a while, Meng Zhou murmured in his heart: "I'm really dizzy!"

He already understood what was going on.

Of course, the calamity will be different with or without his participation!

Such a simple truth, I actually ignored it.

But at this time, Meng Zhou found that he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and resist.

You can't suddenly pull away at this time, right? !

That is the rhythm that will really kill all the golden-armored spirit insects.

The Heavenly Tribulation will not reduce its power just because of his sudden departure.

Faced with this situation, Meng Zhou could only comfort himself in his heart.

"The stronger the heavenly tribulation, the stronger the strength will be after successfully overcoming the tribulation... The golden-armored spirit insects may suffer greater losses, but as long as they can survive it, their strength will become stronger."

"Moreover, I have more means at my disposal."

Thinking like this, Meng Zhou turned his attention to those "Dew Star Lotus Clone" again.

Originally, when the Golden Armored Spirit Insect was going through the tribulation, the Fanlu Star Lotus clone did not dare to intervene directly, for fear of causing a sudden change in the catastrophe.

But now, the situation is different.

Soon, Meng Zhou, who had readjusted his mentality, began to make final preparations.

He first "actively eliminated" those golden-armored spirit insects whose performance was obviously inferior and unlikely to survive the next wave of catastrophe.

The reason is very simple. Instead of letting the heavenly tribulation come to eliminate them, the essence of the whole body will be reduced to 10% or 80% under the heavenly tribulation, and only the fragments of the stumps will be used by other golden-armored spirit insects. Become a nutrient for other companions to ascend to higher levels? !

Because of this treatment, the originally small group of golden beetles became much smaller.

Then, these golden-armored spirit insects floated quietly in the sky, waiting for the arrival of a new wave of catastrophe.

But if a monk who is proficient in the Talisman Array looks at the overall situation, he will find that the seemingly random distribution of golden armored spirit insects actually hides the profound secrets of the Talisman Array.

At the same time, the thirty-six Dew Star Lotus clones that were originally far away from each other, as well as the Black Evil Mist Formation that was preparing to resist the final wave, also quietly made new adjustments and changes.

"boom!!"

Finally, a new wave of catastrophe crashed down from the sky.

Hit directly above the swarm of golden beetles.

In an instant, this wave of fierce and ruthless calamity spread into hundreds of golden-armored spirit insects.

The power of the heavenly tribulation has penetrated deep into the bloodline of the golden armored spirit insect.

While causing huge damage to the golden armored spirit insect, under the stimulation of life and death, the bloodline of the golden armored spirit insect also showed unprecedented activity, which can also be said to be the instinct of survival.

Among them, there are golden-armored spirit insects with relatively poor potential in all aspects, and they are gradually showing signs of being overwhelmed and about to collapse.

But the golden armored spirit insect did not collapse.

At this moment, the remnant power of the catastrophe was like a raging flood that was about to burst its banks and suddenly found a brand new flood discharge pond.

Outside the Golden Armored Spirit Insect, I saw a large formation formed by thirty-six Dew Star Lotus clone strongholds, and the flowing star power formed an invisible dam.

The power of heavenly tribulation dispersed from the bodies of each golden-armored spirit insect was bound within, surging.

This wave of catastrophe strikes has stopped.

But the "catastrophe" of the golden armored spirit insect is not over yet.

When the power of the heavenly tribulation endured by each golden-armored spirit insect gradually becomes smaller, and as the golden-armored spirit insect's bloodline slowly sublimates and its strength slowly increases under such tempering, it is originally diverted away and is borne by the clones of the Dew Star Lotus. , and the power of the heavenly tribulation that was restrained flowed back.

This makes it clear that this catastrophe has stopped, but the golden armored spirit insect is still being tempered by the blows of this wave of catastrophe.

Finally, thirty-six clones of the Dew Star Lotus returned all the heavenly tribulations, and the power of the heavenly tribulations lingering inside and outside the bodies of each golden-armored spirit insect was finally "extinguished".

Another catastrophe fell from the sky.

Then the third, fourth, fifth...

The power of the heavenly tribulation is stronger than the last.

The pressure on the star power formation formed by thirty-six Dew Star Lotus clones was finally increasing.

Fortunately, during this process, the individual strength of each golden-armored spirit insect and its ability to withstand natural disasters on its own are also improving.

Although the increase was slightly lower than the increase in the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, spreading it over hundreds of golden-armored spirit insects greatly eased the pressure on the "Star Power Formation".

But even so, when the ninth tribulation of the fifth wave of tribulation came, its power finally exceeded the "star power array" formed by all the golden-armored spirit insects and the thirty-six clones of the Dew Star Lotus. The limit that can be tolerated.

As a result, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, which had always been firmly restrained by the star power, was finally channeled outward again and dispersed into the Black Evil Mist Formation with the twelve formation flags as the core.

This time, the remnant power of the Heavenly Tribulation that was dispersed into the Black Evil Mist Formation continued to be dispersed to all parts of the world.

Every bit of the remaining power of the Heavenly Tribulation released through the Black Evil Mist Formation will bring about a terrifying celestial phenomenon.

Or thunder and lightning across the sky, like thousands of snakes swimming around;

Or the howling wind, or the fire, rain and ice...

It is also mixed with fine sand condensed by the fourth-level evil spirit that is extremely rich and difficult to disperse.

Originally, after withstanding this wave of heavenly tribulations, the golden-armored spirit insect, which had experienced 5,945 heavenly tribulations, was considered to have completed its merits and successfully overcome the tribulation.

But now, the calamity clouds in the sky have not dispersed, and the calamity is still gathering strength for a new wave of offensive, and it is obvious that it has no intention of stopping.

Taking advantage of this gap, Meng Zhou also acted quickly.

After resisting a total of nine heavenly tribulations in the last wave, those golden-armored spirit insects that were the most embarrassing and gradually became a burden to the entire insect swarm were selected.

He also began to prepare for a new round.

…

"boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

One after another, the catastrophes with increasing power continued to fall.

When the last sixty-third heavenly tribulation dissipated, the tribulation clouds in the sky gradually dissipated.

When it was at its peak, the black mist formation that covered thousands of miles in radius also gradually dissipated.

Just because the twelve formation flags had turned into powder under the catastrophe.

Also turned into powder, there were thirty-six clones of the Dew Star Lotus.

To be more precise, there were a total of 288 clones of the Star Lotus dispersed in the eight wastelands of the Outer Realm. It took tens of thousands of Green Lotus Sword Marrow accumulated by Meng Zhou over the years, all of which were transformed into鑑粉.

The reason for such "squandering" was that Meng Zhou wanted to save more golden-armored spirit insects from the catastrophe.

Although, it was a pity that Meng Zhou's accumulation over the years blossomed like fireworks.

But Meng Zhou didn't think there was anything wrong with this choice itself.

These Dew Star Lotus clones were "sacrificed" here, but they were actually used on the "blade".

Counting all the eight places to overcome the tribulation, Meng Zhou used all the Black Evil Mist Formation and all the Dew Star Lotus clones to "head-to-head" with the tribulation. He just made the last wave and at least saved more than a hundred golden-armored spirit insects from the tribulation. This last wave of "purge".

Just as the calamity clouds in the sky dissipated, a mysterious force seemed to descend from the sky, and then seemed to appear out of thin air, bathing all the golden-armored spirit insects.

Under the infiltration of this mysterious power, the "smoke and fire" that filled the body of the golden-armored spirit insect that had resisted sixty-three heavenly tribulations quickly dissipated.

In this process, the limits were broken again and again, and the bloodline, which was strong but lacking in gentleness, was nourished and sublimated.

And these are secondary.

The most important thing is that under the infiltration of this mysterious power, Meng Zhou felt that he had touched——

"Is this the law?!" (End of Chapter)
