The terrifying fluctuations of the Fire Origin Law were so intense that even from such a great distance, Luo Fan could clearly sense them.
A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
This energy fluctuation was extremely powerful.
The self-destruction of some early-stage King-tier Immortals would probably only reach this level.
This was…
A Fire God Source Crystal.
Moreover, it was definitely not the kind worth only a few million Chaos Units.
He had not expected that Youmeng would actually use a Fire God Source Crystal for the treasures guarded by those plant lifeforms.
At this moment, Luo Fan became even more curious about what exactly was located where those plant lifeforms had been staying.
The value of this single Fire God Source Crystal was likely higher than the total value of all the Insect Kings Youmeng had expended earlier.
Luo Fan took a look.
Even though the divine bodies of the two Marquis-tier Immortal plant lifeforms were extremely large, they had now shrunk considerably.
As for the two peak Immortal Army Commander–level plant lifeforms, despite their enormous divine bodies, they had both died completely.
Not even residue remained.
From the detector, Luo Fan saw that Youmeng was now flying toward the remaining two plant lifeforms.
The number of Insect Kings around her had dropped to fewer than one million.
It seemed that she had used the Fire God Source Crystal precisely because the number of Insect Kings had fallen too low.
After approaching the two plant lifeforms, Youmeng continued commanding several hundred thousand Insect Kings to launch attacks against them.
She herself remained to the side, occasionally unleashing soul attacks.
Because the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm prohibited teleportation and spatial traversal, the two plant lifeforms had to fly if they wanted to approach Youmeng.
However, the Insect Kings stood between them.
That was why Youmeng dared to stay so close to the plant lifeforms.
Luo Fan felt that the timing was perfect.
To ensure her own safety, most of the Insect Kings were positioned closer to the plant lifeforms.
They were instead farther away from Youmeng.
At this moment, there were not many Insect Kings guarding her side.
Moreover, she had focused all her attention on the two plant lifeforms.
Since the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm prohibited teleportation, spatial traversal, and divine kingdom transmission,
Youmeng likely never imagined that Luo Fan could instantly appear behind her.
Just then, Youmeng launched another soul attack at the two plant lifeforms.
Seeing this, Luo Fan did not hesitate in the slightest and directly activated the Wormhole Secret Art.
At the moment he made his decision, he immediately released an avatar, took out the Whale Fin Blade, and began executing his secret art.
As soon as the wormhole formed, he did not waste a single moment and stepped straight into it.
In the next instant, Luo Fan appeared directly behind Youmeng.
At the same time, the avatar arrived together with him.
The avatar did not attack Youmeng.
Instead, it took out the Cosmic Pole Tower, which had just been transferred from the main body through system space.
At the same time, the avatar activated the Slave Seal.
Although the avatar's physical strength and soul attack power were only one percent of a clone's,
its willpower was identical to that of the clone and the main body.
The instant the wormhole appeared, Youmeng had already sensed the spatial fluctuation behind her.
However, at this moment, she had no time to react.
All of her attention had been focused on the two plant lifeforms.
Moreover, she had just finished casting a secret art.
At the moment she turned around, she suddenly felt herself struck by an intense impact of willpower.
This was the first time she had ever experienced such a sensation.
However, she immediately understood what was happening.
Someone was trying to enslave her.
And it was forced enslavement.
Although Luo Fan's current willpower was still insufficient to forcibly enslave Youmeng,
the partial willpower shock that accompanied the Slave Seal secret art caused Youmeng to stall for an instant.
With almost no chance to resist, Youmeng took the clone's Whale Fin Slash head-on.
One had to know that the Space Worm clone's genetic level had already reached Perfect Genes.
On top of that, the Space Worm clone also possessed amplification secret arts.
Furthermore, an Insect Empress's physical body was even weaker than that of ordinary lifeforms.
At that moment, the battle armor on Youmeng's body shattered instantly.
She fell directly into a critically injured, near-death state.
Seeing this, Luo Fan was immediately overjoyed.
He directly established a task.
[Task: Seal Youmeng. Reward: World Master–level and Immortal-level Insect Empress resources.]
Next, he sealed Youmeng and stored her inside the Cosmic Pole Tower.
Although the Cosmic Pole Tower was not a sealing-type supreme treasure,
as a top-tier palace-type heavy treasure, suppressing a World Master–level Empress was effortless.
Luo Fan glanced at the armor Youmeng had been wearing.
It was a battle armor worth roughly over one billion Chaos Units.
That was about the level of armor typically worn by early-stage King-tier Immortals.
Looking at the shattered armor before him, Luo Fan's face was filled with joy.
Fortunately, she had been wearing this armor.
Otherwise, that single slash would have killed Youmeng outright.
Now, he had gained yet another Insect Empress slave.
And she was a genius Empress from the Metamorphosis Realm.
The instant Youmeng was suppressed, several hundred thousand Insect Warriors immediately fell into disorder.
Although they still followed Youmeng's previous instructions and continued attacking the two plant lifeforms,
without her command, their losses rapidly increased.
Luo Fan did not linger.
He directly went to the Insect Kings and collected them all.
Now that Youmeng had been sealed, these Insect Kings belonged to him.
He was not about to watch these walking Chaos Units die for nothing.
With their previous targets gone, only Luo Fan remained before them.
The two plant lifeforms immediately launched attacks at Luo Fan.
At this moment, Luo Fan had no intention of hiding his strength.
That previous slash had not even been his full power.
He still had a talent secret art he had not used in a long time.
This was the talent secret art he had obtained when he gave the Golden-Horned Giant Beast egg to Luo Feng.
Because it was a system reward,
it was just like the clone secret art.
All clones and avatars could use it.
That talent was Enhancement.
When his realm was low, it could only amplify him by a few times.
However, after reaching the World Master level, the Enhancement secret art could amplify all aspects of him by twenty times.
One had to know that at this moment, the Space Worm clone's full-force attack could reach nine hundred thousand times World Master power.
Amplified by another twenty times, that became eighteen million times peak World Master power.
In terms of raw strength alone, that had already stepped into the domain of a Venerable.
In an instant, a powerful sensation swept through Luo Fan's entire body.
The avatar immediately established another task.
[Task: Kill two Marquis-tier Immortal plant lifeforms. Reward: Twenty thousand cubic kilometers of Rock God Water.]
With a single slash, one of the plant lifeforms had thirty percent of its divine body annihilated.
One had to know that this was a Marquis-tier Immortal plant lifeform.
Moreover, its divine body was far larger than that of ordinary plant lifeforms.
The plant lifeform, which had already lost over fifty percent of its divine body from the Fire God Source Crystal explosion, instantly shrank again.
Luo Fan did not pause at all and slashed five times in rapid succession.
In the next moment, both plant lifeforms died.
At the same time, the sound of task completion echoed in his mind.
He did not linger and flew toward the location where the previous plant lifeforms had been stationed.
Before long, he saw a massive crater there.
Around the crater stood several trees.
These trees were also extremely tall, each reaching several million kilometers in height.
They had previously been blocked from view by the plant lifeforms.
These trees themselves were not plant lifeforms, and several fruits hung upon them.
There were nine such trees around the crater.
When Luo Fan arrived, he could feel that the energy concentration in the area was extremely high.
All of this energy was wood-attributed energy.
Not only that, the Wood Origin Law in the surrounding area was exceptionally clear.
No wonder those plant lifeforms had been unwilling to leave.
Every second spent absorbing energy here yielded more than devouring Insect Warriors or Insect Kings.
The larger the plant lifeform, the faster its energy absorption rate.
Moreover, the clarity of the Wood Law here was extremely high.
If they stayed here continuously, it would be immensely beneficial to plant lifeforms.
The surrounding energy was extremely favorable to them.
Plant lifeforms inherently possessed low intelligence.
As a result, their growth required massive amounts of resources.
As long as they absorbed enough resources, they could break through.
However, generally speaking, once plant lifeforms reached the Immortal level, breaking through to the Venerable level became extremely difficult.
Unless they were special lifeforms.
Otherwise, ordinary plant lifeforms had virtually no hope of becoming Venerables.
Yet if enough of the energy here was absorbed, it might actually allow these plant lifeforms to break through.
That was why, driven by instinct, these plant lifeforms had gathered here.
Next, Luo Fan began examining the nine trees.
These trees were anything but ordinary.
They were called Giant God Trees.
Each Giant God Tree bore nine fruits once every one million epochs.
These fruits could increase the size of an Immortal divine body.
However, Giant God Trees were extremely rare.
As far as Luo Fan knew, the only races in the universe that possessed Giant God Trees were the Demon Race and the Northern Border Alliance.
As for the Human Race, they only appeared in records.
He had not expected Giant God Trees to exist here as well.
And there were nine of them.
Luo Fan did not hesitate and immediately prepared to transplant the nine Giant God Trees.
To transplant Giant God Trees, it was best to place them in worlds or secret realms rich in wood-attributed energy.
The Hundred Flowers Secret Realm was indeed suitable.
However, this was ultimately Insect Race territory.
Luo Fan planned to transplant the nine Giant God Trees into the inner world of the Ten Thousand Star Flower.
As a plant-type special lifeform, the Ten Thousand Star Flower's inner world possessed extremely rich wood-attributed energy.
It was very suitable for the growth of Giant God Trees.
Luo Fan immediately established another task.
[Task: Obtain nine Giant God Trees. Reward: Divine Body Enlargement Potion formula.]
The instant he saw the reward, Luo Fan's face filled with excitement.
One had to know that in the Primal Universe, treasures capable of enlarging divine bodies were extremely rare.
Otherwise, the Human Race would not constantly worry about their experts having small divine bodies.
As for divine body enlargement potions, many races were researching them.
Yet to this day, no race had successfully developed one.
He did not hesitate and swiftly collected the Giant God Trees.
After collecting them, the sound of task completion immediately echoed in his mind.
