Chapter 251: Little Caterpillar’s Wrathful Insect Lotus!
Chapter 251: Little Caterpillar’s Wrathful Insect Lotus!
The Titan Beast was stunned once again.
Could this Greenworm still transform?
In its vision, along with the shrinking of the intense light beam shooting towards the sky, the Little Caterpillar’s body also started to undergo dramatic changes.
Flame-like patterns began to appear on its body, and it was wrapped in strands of red and blue flames. Its aura grew stronger once more.
The originally cold air quickly became filled with a scorching heat.
The Little Caterpillar, now in its Flame Awakening state, roared again.
A wave of hot air even scattered the dark clouds in the sky.
Floating in mid-air, its entire body burned with a phantom flame. Combined with its current True Dragon Form, it instantly underwent another special transformation!
It was like a super evolution.
In this state, the power of the Little Caterpillar’s fire-based Soul Skills reached a terrifying level!
At the same time, its other Soul Skills were also greatly affected by the Flame Awakening and underwent significant changes.
Especially the flames formed by the Flame Soul Essence, which were like eternal lanterns, hard to extinguish.
The Little Caterpillar hovered in the air and, with a single exhale, released a massive net that blotted out the sky.
The Insect Net burned with raging flames!
“Roar!”
As the huge flaming Insect Net attacked, the Titan Beast showed no fear. It lifted its claws and, with a few swift swipes, tore the net to shreds.
The Insect Net was indeed very sturdy, but it was no match for the Titan Beast’s sharp claws.
However, the countless flames attached to the Insect Net fell like fiery rain along with the shredded net.
Each flame droplet landed on the Titan Beast’s body and instantly pierced through its frost scale armor!
The Titan Beast felt as if its whole body was being pricked by needles and roasted by fire. It was in great pain!
Although it controlled frost, it was not afraid of fire.
As a dominant creature on the continent, it had no obvious weaknesses.
But these flames seemed to be no ordinary flames.
Not only did they refuse to go out on its body, but even covering them with frost could hardly put them out. The burning pain they caused made even the thick-skinned Titan Beast feel considerable agony.
‘What kind of flames are these? How can they be so powerful?’
The Titan Beast felt a sense of foreboding.
At that moment, another Insect Net attacked.
This time, the Titan Beast dared not slash it open with its claws. Instead, its massive body dodged with surprising agility and charged toward the Little Caterpillar.
The Little Caterpillar showed no panic. As its flame patterns flickered slightly, a scorching Gentle Breeze spread out from its body in all directions.
Following this Gentle Breeze, its figure vanished from its original spot.
The Titan Beast felt very uncomfortable with this scorching Gentle Breeze because it made the flames burning on its body grow even stronger.
This little green worm was impossibly slippery.
The Titan Beast’s Spiritual Power was also immense, and it immediately detected the Little Caterpillar’s location.
However, as soon as it spotted the Little Caterpillar, it was met with a series of scorching fireballs exploding around its body.
The Titan Beast was shocked. What kind of Soul Skill was this? How could it be cast so quickly?
But since it was cast so fast, its power probably wasn’t very strong, right?
The next moment, it realized its assumption was wrong.
The Spiral Flame Spheres, filled with destructive energy, exploded around the Titan Beast. With each explosion, space trembled slightly.
The Titan Beast’s huge size made it an easy target for the Little Caterpillar.
No matter how agile it was, it couldn’t avoid the upgraded Spiral Flame Spheres, which could be released several at a time.
The powerful shockwaves from the Spiral Flame Spheres’ explosions forced the Titan Beast to stagger back.
The flames on its body burned even more fiercely, and its frost scale armor was completely destroyed.
The Titan Beast was enraged.
It swung its claws, and frost spread all over its body in an attempt to extinguish the flames.
But the flames were hard to put out, only slightly easing its pain.
At the same time, it leaped high into the air, escaping the center of the explosions.
Like a falling comet, it charged toward the Green Caterpillar’s location with unbelievable speed.
Despite its huge size, it was incredibly agile—truly worthy of being a dominant Soul Beast from the Ancient Era.
“If it weren’t for the Spiral Flame Spheres being upgraded and the Little Caterpillar using the Art of Object Manipulation, even more of them probably wouldn’t hit this big guy.”
Wang Che thought to himself.
Seeing the Titan Beast charging at it, the Little Caterpillar remained calm.
It immediately entered deep blue mode. Under the Flame Awakening, the Martial Spirit Armament still performed its intended function.
The flame patterns on the Little Caterpillar’s body did not disappear, but the rest of its body turned blue.
Its speed increased another notch. Riding the Gentle Breeze altered by the Flame Soul Essence, it nimbly dodged the Titan Beast’s Beast Strike the Sky.
“You little Greenworm! Stop running!”
The Titan Beast’s eyes flashed brightly, locking onto the Little Caterpillar.
At the same time, its fleshy claws grasped at the surrounding space. Instantly, the space around seemed to change in a peculiar way, and a terrifying pressure squeezed the Little Caterpillar from all directions.
It was firmly pinned in place.
“Let’s see you run now.”
The Titan Beast snorted.
“It’s a spiritual Soul Skill, Void Lock. And a Spatial Soul Skill, Space Squeeze!”
Wang Che’s eyes widened slightly.
This Titan Beast not only knew spiritual Soul Skills.
It also knew Spatial Soul Skills… Could it have learned them from the Empty God Dragon?
Space Squeeze: Manipulates Spatial Power, contracting space to create a powerful squeeze that can cause considerable damage and temporarily immobilize the opponent.
“Magnetic Sword, go! Perform a combined attack!”
Wang Che said.
Being unable to move didn’t mean it couldn’t use Soul Skills.
Unlike the previous encounter with the Empty God Dragon, which was only a transformed young Empty God Dragon fighting the Little Caterpillar.
This Titan Beast was not a young Titan Beast. Its Soul Power Cultivation was sealed to less than two thousand years.
But in every other aspect, it was a true Titan Beast!
Magnetic Sword immediately flew to the tip of the Little Caterpillar’s tail.
With their current combined strength, the power of their Spiral Thunderflame Sphere was unimaginably greater.
“Sii noo sii noo!”
Little Caterpillar’s tail immediately gathered several blazing fireballs, and it was also urging Magnetic Sword to hurry up.
That big guy was not easy to deal with.
Magnetic Sword aimed its tip at the fireballs on Little Caterpillar’s tail, releasing red lightning frantically like a laser beam, which merged with the cyan-red fireballs on its tail.
In less than a second, a spiral thunderflame sphere was formed, and then Magnetic Sword struck it out with a swing.
At that moment, the Titan Beast had just charged over and was met head-on by a fireball crackling with lightning.
In an instant, a violent explosion erupted again, causing the space to tremble and distort.
Little Caterpillar used this opportunity to escape the spatial compression, and its entire body began to burn with flames as if boiling.
Like a streak of fire, it charged toward the Titan Beast in the midst of the explosion!
The Titan Beast stumbled and fell, landing hard on the ground. The intense explosion from the thunderflame sphere, combined with Little Caterpillar’s Blazing Charge, knocked it down directly!
Immediately after, Little Caterpillar flew into the air, its dragon whiskers flowing in the wind.
It gazed intently at the Titan Beast below.
Suddenly, the flames on its tail began to gather once again!
However, this time, it was not gathering fireballs.
“Hmm.”
Wang Che was slightly surprised.
A wisp of flame coalesced on Little Caterpillar’s tail, tracing streams of fiery light as if painting with a magical brush.
Judging by its Proficiency Level, this was clearly not its first attempt.
The speed was fast!
Before long, a lotus blazing with cyan-red flames took shape at the tip of Little Caterpillar’s tail.
The next moment, seizing the opportunity as the Titan Beast was just getting up, Little Caterpillar let out a cry and flung the fiery lotus with its tail!
Wrathful Insect Lotus!
“…” Wang Che.
The cyan-red fiery lotus did not directly strike the Titan Beast’s body but instead exploded in mid-air.
A terrifying wave of energy erupted above the Titan Beast’s head, spreading outward like a tsunami in an instant.
Even from Wang Che’s position, he could feel a scorching pain on his skin.
One could imagine how terrifying its power was.
Wang Che was somewhat astonished.
A self-created Soul Skill?
Could Little Caterpillar also create its own Soul Skill?
Was it created in the Dream Space?
“This power is very strong, this fiery lotus… Wait, could it have comprehended this from the story I told about Caterpillar Breaks the Heavens?”
Wang Che thought of something.
Because it was comprehended during cultivation in the Dream Space, and Wang Che respected Little Caterpillar’s privacy, he did not spy on its training in the Dream Space, only provided it with a cultivation plan.
So, it was possible for Little Caterpillar to comprehend and create its own Soul Skill in the Dream Space.
But still…
“To actually comprehend this move from the story I told…”
Wang Che was not too shocked.
When he first told fairy tales, Wang Che had hoped that Little Caterpillar would learn some techniques from them.
Later, when he told stories to cultivate Little Caterpillar’s interest in narratives, that idea faded, especially as its Spiritual Intelligence developed.
Hmm…
In the future, he would have to provide it with more stories, especially since the tale of Caterpillar Breaks the Heavens was about to conclude.
The story of Caterpillar Breaks the Heavens only resembled a certain novel on the surface but was actually quite different in many ways.
However, at its core, it was still a story about a little caterpillar’s passionate growth.
Most of the move names in the story were adapted by Wang Che, such as this Wrathful Insect Lotus…
However, there were also accompanying illustrations, so Little Caterpillar felt a strong sense of immersion and could roughly visualize what the move looked like.
Then it slowly figured it out and comprehended it on its own…
“It seems that listening to stories with illustrations every day does have some effect.”
Wang Che pondered, “This move, Wrathful Insect Lotus, is not much different from the one in the story… It is formed by merging the special flames produced by the Flame Soul Essence with ordinary flames.”
The flames generated by the Flame Soul Essence were not like the innate true flames of the Cultivation World, but they were similar—a powerful innate soul flame.
It looked dazzling, and its power was quite strong, even stronger than the current Multiple Spiral Flame Sphere.
If the ordinary flames were replaced with equivalent ones, the power would be even greater.
Unfortunately, aside from the true flames produced by the Flame Soul Essence, Little Caterpillar had no other special flames.
The Titan Beast, struck by this move, was knocked to the ground once again by the force of the explosion.
Its entire body was engulfed in raging flames.
It could not even summon frost anymore.
“No more fighting! No more fighting!”
The Titan Beast roared several times.
