Chapter 905 - 657: Sky Tempest
After the post-war recovery period ended, the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army from Blue Island resumed their frequent sea fishing to cultivate forces for the next great battle.

The Giant Cypress discovered a mutant species of southern catalpa and successfully triggered the Law Divine-Given after years of cultivation and selection, obtaining a Divine-Given Seed of a catalpa tree.
The seed was collected from the warm temperate region of the southern Cloud Trace Continent, known for its rare carapace hardness enhancement. It is a medium to large arbor with decent yield and potential to be cultivated into a top-level plant seed.
However, after mutation, it transformed into a mundane composite metal system ability enhancement, and its value plummeted.
Officially named ’Equatorial Catalpa,’ it is preserved for future use.

Silver Cypress 180 years.
Ink Orchid was the first to complete the condensing of four ability divine patterns for the 4th age period, evolving into a 5th age period Insect King.
The 5th age period enhances the Earth System, further perfecting the ’Great Ink Orchid.’ According to the plan, five divine patterns need to be condensed.
For Ink Orchid, condensing five divine patterns was as simple as eating and drinking, expected to take only twenty to thirty years.
Ink Orchid could accelerate evolution to the 6th age period and 7th age period Insect King.
The only issue is that obtaining a top-level Divine-Given Seed is not easy and requires some luck.

Silver Cypress 182 years.
Dragon Cypress finally succeeded in condensing the ’Cross Flower Dance’ divine pattern.
The third divine pattern of the Wind System.
It was not easy.
Without much hesitation, Dragon Cypress ingested metal-type Ant King Pearls at a steady rate of one million a day.
Half a month later,
The enhancement was completed, and it enters a hibernation evolution.
...
Upon awakening, it shed its old shell as the new one quickly hardened.
The 4th age period Insect King!
Dragon Cypress tilted its head to swallow two White Refining Beads from the Throne, briefly examining itself. Its spiritual power shifted, communicating with the Dominating Throne.
Please select Messenger type:
[Guardian of Strength]
[Producer of Agriculture]
[Guardian of Hydrology]
...
Dragon Cypress chose [Guardian of Wind Glyphs]
At present, the Wind System already possesses the flight divine pattern ’Wind Wings’, defensive divine pattern ’Spiral Flow Wall’, and the attack divine pattern ’Cross Flower Dance’. According to pattern, the Wind System Air Soldier should largely inherit these and possess good aerial combat capability.
First, train a batch of Specialized Air Soldiers for practical testing; if successful, proceed with large-scale training.
The Dominating Throne then relayed prompt information:
[Please select quantity]
[Quantity 1]
[Quantity 2]
...
[Quantity 17]
With the evolution to the 4th age period Insect King, the maximum number of Ant Eggs produced per batch by the Dominating Throne is increased by one.
Every two days per batch, averaged out, that’s 0.5 additional Ant Eggs per day.
Better than nothing.
Having just evolved, physical strength being suboptimal, Dragon Cypress simply opted for [Quantity 10].
Dragon Cypress retracted its spiritual power, immersing its thoughts, and contemplated the new abilities comprehended during the evolution, its eyes gradually brightening as the Heavenly Eye on its head sparkled.
It comprehended a Thunder System teleportation-type ability!
Additionally, there was a peculiar Metal System ability identical to Ink Orchid’s, collecting and refining metal materials, altering them. They could adhere on the carapace during normal times and be released during battles, freely manipulated and changing to adapt to adversaries.
The practical tests showed this ability was most potent using ’gold’ as the medium, hence named ’Gold Sand’.
It could be combined with the Jinhe Pattern, Metal Solidification, and Metal Control, forming the ability ’Golden River Sand’ that Ink Orchid was currently diligently training.
Dragon Cypress also comprehended an ability to instantly convert metal into liquid form, reshaping it via ’Molten Gold’, which also aligned with the ’Gold Sand’ ability and could be integrated.
Employing its Super Brain Ability for a simple deduction, Dragon Cypress confirmed that the ’Golden River Sand’ could serve as a divine pattern ability for the 4th age period Insect King stage.
...
Upon detailed calculation, the Metal System ability combinations might overlap with Ink Orchid.
Currently, Dragon Cypress’ self-comprehended metal abilities stand at five: Metal Control, Metal Solidification, Molten Gold, Metal Cleaving, and Gold Sand.
Excluding the most basic ’Metal Control’ ability, it realistically only had four feeble ones.
However, Dragon Cypress also acquired four Metal System abilities through Divine-Grade Fruit, namely the Jinhe Pattern, Heavy Metal Appendage, Silver White Sharp Edge, and Ghostly Iron Wing Vein.
The Jinhe Pattern, derived from the Huagi Mountain Jinhe Divine-Given Seed, bestows metal with exceptional hardness and tenacity.
Heavy Metal Appendage metalizes the tips of its six legs, sharpening and sharpening them, granting powerful close-range anti-armor capabilities.
Silver White Sharp Edge closely resembles Dragon Cypress’ self-comprehended Metal Cleaving, aggregating pure Primordial Energy to form an edge that can be swung or shot for long-range attack or attached to mandibles and claws for close combat.
Ghostly Iron Wing Vein, on the other hand, is a rare biomimicry Metal System ability. The Primordial Energy mimics metals like iron-nickel and doubles wing veins, considerably enhancing wing strength.
The four abilities gained from the Divine-Grade Fruit were all remarkably useful.
The Silver White Sharp Edge combined with Metal Cleaving formed something akin to Ink Orchid’s ’Boundless Blade’, focusing purely on attack.
The combination of Heavy Metal Appendage, Jinhe Pattern, Silver White Sharp Edge, and Metal Cleaving closely resembled Ink Orchid’s ’Heavy Metal Appendage’ divine pattern ability.
After a brief deliberation, Dragon Cypress determined the Metal System divine pattern ability route for the 4th age period Insect King, overlapping with Ink Orchid’s: Golden River Sand, Boundless Blade, and Heavy Metal Appendage.
Additionally,
Heavy Metal Appendage can also be combined with Vortex Beast Devouring to enhance the frost state of the vortex beast’s claws and toes, significantly improving close combat capabilities.
The Ghostly Iron Wing Vein ability can also be combined with Vortex Beast Devouring to strengthen the wings of the ant-shaped vortex beast in cloud mist form. Reinforced metal wings and air membrane wings empower both fighting and fleeing.
...
In the 4th age period Insect King stage, Dragon Cypress had many tasks it could and should undertake.
The immediate priority was integrating ’Wind Wings’ with Vortex Beast Devouring to enhance the flying capability of the vortex beast’s cloud mist form; next was to quickly condense the Water System defensive ability ’Moon Spots’ and integrate it with Vortex Beast Devouring to enhance the vortex beast’s defensive power.
