Chapter 294: Chapter 174: Demon Promotion: Erupting Black Ant Mountain
FWOOSH!
FWOOSH!
FWOOSH!
The Thousand Army Ant Mountain erupted. With each eruption, it grew larger; its form expanded with every blast.
It was in a state of continuous evolution.
Soon, in just five short minutes, its body had grown to ten times its previous size, but this was far from the end.
By now, its size had far exceeded the boundaries of the Ritual.
Lu Cang had already retreated a great distance, but it kept getting bigger, transforming into an even more colossal Demon.
Finally, when it was about thirty times its original size, it stopped growing.
It was no longer erupting in bursts.
Instead, it began to continuously spray out a black cloud!
BZZZZZZZZZZZZ—
Every single Black Ant had gained the ability to fly. Faint as specks of dust, the Black Ants swarmed over like an all-encompassing fog, obscuring everything!
Erupting Black Ant Mountain
Tier Five—Nation Destruction Level Demon
The Ant Mountain had become immense. Countless holes opened up in all directions, from which it endlessly sprayed out a black mist.
If one didn’t look closely, it would be impossible to tell that this mist was actually made of Tier Two Black Ants.
These Black Ants were more fragile than ordinary Tier Two Black Ants.
However, they possessed greater aggression, faster Speed, and could fly with extreme agility.
If an attack couldn’t completely fill the entire Space, then some of the Black Ant mist would inevitably slip through.
The moment the mist touched someone, they would have to endure the piercing and tearing of hundreds or thousands of Black Ants. It would probably take only a few seconds to devour a Low-Level Adventurer.
"It actually worked."
Lu Cang casually deployed a Shield, and a Fire Shield completely enveloped him.
Not a single Black Ant could get near him.
Lu Cang, of course, wasn’t afraid of these Black Ants.
But one could only imagine what would happen if this "Erupting Black Ant Mountain" were unleashed outside.
It was more than capable of easily wiping out an entire nation.
Even a Level 5 Adventurer would probably be helpless against the Erupting Black Ant Mountain.
FWOOSH!
Flames billowed from all directions.
In an instant, they completely covered the Erupting Black Ant Mountain. The Flames formed a cage, trapping the Ant Mountain within.
Lu Cang felt hundreds of millions of souls appear in an instant.
’So many...’
’It seems I’ll be able to produce tens of billions of souls a day from now on.’
’This evolution was definitely the right move.’
Lu Cang had used the fresh corpse of a Tier Six Demon, along with the most sublime souls, as materials for the Ritual Sacrifice.
The goal was to ensure the Thousand Army Ant Mountain’s evolution was complete.
’And now... it looks complete enough.’
’It could probably even defeat the Tier Five Nation Destruction Level Demon from the 100th floor of the War God Tower with ease.’
Moreover, with a WHOOSH, Lu Cang instantly transformed countless souls into Undead, turning them into tiny black flying ants.
Each of these black flying ants was a Special Species.
’From now on, I’ll have an Undead force that can truly be called a legion.’
In terms of both individual quality and sheer numbers, Lu Cang was no longer lacking.
Raising his hand, he drew the "Erupting Black Ant Mountain" into his living-creature Space.
For the "Thousand Army Ant Mountain’s" promotion, Lu Cang had made extensive preparations.
He not only had to find a Ritual for a Demon’s promotion but also had to experiment with guiding the Demon’s evolution in his desired direction, which required a theoretical foundation in both Rituals and Demonology.
On top of that, he had to prepare suitable materials.
And conduct repeated attempts.
After the evolution was complete, there was one more indispensable step.
He had to be able to store it.
A Tier Five Nation Destruction Level Demon was an absolute behemoth in size. Ai Jin’s previous bracelet definitely couldn’t hold it.
Therefore, Lu Cang had also entrusted Ai Jin with crafting a new bracelet.
Thanks to the bracelet obtained from the Cold Church, which was enhanced with professional "Storage Science" knowledge and was a treasure stored in the Forbidden Hall, it actually had such a large capacity.
All that was left was for Ai Jin to place an Enchantment on the bracelet that would allow it to hold living creatures.
Only then could it contain the "Erupting Black Ant Mountain."
"Hmm..."
"The remaining Guardian of this Dungeon has also been dealt with."
Lu Cang looked at the Deer-Horned Demon that had walked up to his side.
"Kitba" had just taken care of the boss. In the end, this final boss was merely at the King Level.
Before a Submerged Land Level Demon, it stood no chance and was instantly killed.
This Deer-Horned Demon, now turned into an Undead, was the Guardian of the Dungeon.
"This should do it..."
Lu Cang turned and left.
At his current level, soloing a Tier Six Dungeon was no longer a major issue.
In fact, for every Dungeon he cleared, the souls he obtained allowed him to kill even more.
His power was constantly snowballing.
WHOOSH—
Lu Cang walked out of the Dungeon with his hands in his pockets.
But the moment he stepped out, he sensed that something was wrong.
’I originally set up a Ritual and Restrictions here, but now that I’m out, they’ve vanished?’
’Something’s up.’
Lu Cang’s Perception instantly swept his surroundings while hundreds of layers of Shields enveloped his body.
Layer upon layer of Magic Robes also materialized, covering his form.
As his Perception swept out, Lu Cang discovered that his surroundings had changed.
’This... isn’t the place where I entered the Dungeon?’
’What’s going on?’
’Where am I?’
’Is this man-made? Or an effect of the month?’
SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH—
Lu Cang released ten smaller Submerged Land Level Demons in one go, having them guard his surroundings. At the same time, he carefully focused on his own intuition.
After determining a direction through the premonition in his heart, he began to walk that way.
