Time passed by, and three years quickly went by.
Today, Qin Hao was preparing to pick Blood Orchids to feed the experimental toad. However, upon arriving at the place where the toad was being held, he discovered that it had been vandalized and he didn't know where the toad had gone.
"What's going on? This seal of mine shouldn't be able to be broken by ordinary people, right?"
Qin Hao said in great surprise, then quickly released his Mental Power to sense the toad's location.
However, even after searching the entire mysterious space with his Mental Power, he still couldn't find the toad.
Qin Hao immediately arrived at the exit of the mysterious space, where the giant snake guarded the entrance, so he wasn't worried at all that the Qin Hao had escaped outside.
Upon carefully examining the giant snake's condition, Qin Hao discovered that the snake still retained the scent of a toad.
"Well, it seems they were swallowed by the giant snake."
Qin Hao said helplessly, then disappeared into the mysterious space and reappeared in the Amazon Rainforest outside.
This time, Qin Hao thought for a moment and then simply caught an ant and brought it in.
As soon as he entered, Qin Hao did the same thing as before, giving the ants a piece of Blood Orchid.
Then, a miraculous scene unfolded: the ants, too, were lured by the Blood Orchid and began to quickly nibble at its petals.
They devoured the entire 20-centimeter-long petal of the Blood Orchid in just 10 minutes, at a rapid pace.
Qin Hao couldn't understand it at all. He had just thought that the ants probably couldn't eat that much, considering their size.
But what he was seeing now left him very puzzled.
The Blood Orchid were so large, with a thickness of two millimeters, while the ant was only five millimeters long. Yet, in just ten minutes, it had devoured all the petals.
So the question is, where did the ants hide the extra stuff?
This is quite amazing; it seems that no matter how large a creature is, it will grow bigger once it eats the Blood Orchid.
And you know what? This mysterious space is practically a sterile environment. For some unknown reason, extremely small microorganisms seem unable to survive in this mysterious space.
In other words, even if bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms enter this mysterious space, they will die quickly.
However, if they are slightly larger, there is no problem. Ants are fine; they came in and are still alive and well, and they even ate a piece of Blood Orchid.
Because each ant could only eat one Blood Orchid per month, Qin Hao casually created a huge palace after feeding the ants, and then put the ants into the palace.
After doing all this, Qin Hao entered into cultivation again.
Time was of the essence; he needed to focus on his cultivation.
Especially for someone like him who possesses Zero-Dimensional Universe within his body, a day is equivalent to a trillion years in that Zero-Dimensional Universe.
That one month is equivalent to 30 trillion years.
A month later, Qin Hao came to check on the ants, and what he saw gave him quite a shock.
He had previously conducted experiments with toads, but the toads only increased in size a few times after a month.
But the ants at this moment were something else entirely; they had grown several times larger, possibly even a thousand times larger.
Because at this moment, the ants had grown to be about the same size as the petals of the Blood Orchid.
The longest petals of the Blood Orchid can reach a full 20 centimeters! It's quite terrifying that this ant has grown to such a huge size.
Qin Hao discovered that the wall he had casually created, made of Black-Gold Divine Ore, appeared to have several cracks.
Even now, Qin Hao is only twice the size of an ant, and despite his cultivation at the Dimension Ascension Realm, he still cannot crack the Black-Gold Divine Ore.
However, this ant, which was twice its own size, managed to do it; it was absolutely terrifying.
"It seems that the Black-Gold Divine Ore is no longer sufficient; we must refine an alloy of Black-Gold Divine Ore and Divine Iron."
As he spoke, Qin Hao placed a flower petal in front of the ant, then continued to observe it from the side.
This time, the ants ate the Blood Orchid much faster; in just 10 seconds, the entire patch of Blood Orchids was devoured.
This time, Qin Hao finally discovered the difference between ants and other creatures.
So far, Qin Hao has only discovered that the giant snake at the entrance to the mysterious space swallows flower petals whole in one gulp, while other creatures eat them bite by bite.
But ants seem to be different from other creatures; it's as if they were directly refined.
Just like its own Soul-Quiescence Palace, it can devour and refine all things.
After the ants finished devouring the Blood Orchid, their gaze immediately locked onto Qin Hao.
The ants were so small that the difference in spatial dimensions was too great, so they didn't know how they got to this place.
Looking at Qin Hao at this moment, it seemed to instantly sense Qin Hao's aura, which was very familiar.
The ants hissed and scurried towards Qin Hao at top speed.
Judging from this posture, it seems like a fight is about to break out. Qin Hao is also eager to test his skills against this giant ant and see just how powerful it really is.
Thus, a great war broke out.
It was inside the enormous palace that Qin Hao had built, so from the outside, nothing seemed to be happening.
But things were different inside the palace. Qin Hao discovered that his attacks could harm ants, and similarly, the ants' attacks were even more terrifying.
Each time Qin Hao dodged an ant's attack, the entire palace would tremble as the ants struck the wall made of Black-Gold Divine Ore, leaving a white mark where they had been hit.
Seeing this, Qin Hao was relieved, because he could also do something similar.
This shows that the cracks were caused by the ants attacking one spot repeatedly over time, which resulted in even the walls of the Black-Gold Divine Ore being cracked.
After several rounds of fighting, Qin Hao discovered that while the ant was indeed very strong, perhaps slightly better than him, in other aspects, the ant was no match for him and was completely outmatched by Qin Hao.
That's why, after a short while, the ant was so exhausted that it collapsed on the ground, its little eyes looking weakly at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao had cultivated the Twelve Palaces, so his internal energy was inexhaustible, and he was as energetic as before the battle.
Seeing this, Qin Hao left the palace and appeared outside.
Qin Hao quickly synthesized the Black-Gold Divine Ore and Divine Iron, then fused the two strongest metallic materials in the Zero-Dimensional Universe, causing chemical and physical reactions to occur, ultimately forming the strongest alloy.
Qin Hao had tested this alloy; even at his peak in the Zero-Dimensional Universe, it was unbreakable. It would be more than enough to imprison ants.
Soon, all the metal in the palace where the ants were imprisoned was renovated and replaced with an alloy of Black-Gold Divine Ore and Divine Iron.
In addition, Qin Hao still set up a seal out of concern.
Once the ants crack the super-strong alloy, he will immediately know and return to stop them.
After doing all this, he entered into cultivation again.
