In the universe, the rise of every power is supported by powerful figures. Unlike the old-era conglomerate operation model on Earth, in the universe, no matter how poorly a power operates, as long as the powerful figures supporting it remain, that power will not truly collapse.
Conversely, if the strongest member of a faction perishes during a cosmic adventure, or inadvertently offends a super-powerful figure, then that faction's power can collapse in an instant.
Earth, and even the Milky Way Galaxy, rose to prominence and developed at an extremely rapid pace because Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng became Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company. Even the forces of ordinary Immortal Expert had to give way to them.
This is because Zhang Junbao's identity in the outside world is that of the person in charge of the Virtual Universe Company and the disciple of the Chaos City Lord. Such a status is comparable to that of King-level Immortal. Ordinary Immortal would be too busy currying favor with him to dare to offend him.
Because of this, the Milky Way Galaxy must have offended many forces in the process of its development. If Zhang Junbao disappears, those forces that chose to back down because they dared not offend him will probably not let it go. We'll see if Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God can withstand it.
At this point, he could only choose to trust Luo Feng and the others. If Zhang Junbao were to be distracted by something like this, he might die an unexplained death.
"Master, you're finally awake!"
Zhang Junbao's conversation with Feitian also awakened Isabella, the Zerg Mother Emperor was cultivating.
"Hmm? How's your recovery going?"
During the process of being enslaved by Zhang Junbao's Soul Enslavement, the Zerg Mother Emperor Isabella's body and soul were suppressed; otherwise, she would not have been unable to resist being Soul Enslavement.
"My physical condition has basically recovered, thank you for your concern, Master. However, almost all of my Zerg Warrior perished after being sucked into the Chaotic God Demon Domain. Now, only ten Blazing Mantis Race warriors remain, the ten Master saw before. Each of them possesses strength comparable to Peak World Lord."
After hearing Zerg Mother Emperor 'Isabella explanation, Zhang Junbao understood why Isabella hadn't shown her full strength when they fought.
For the Zerg Mother Emperor, the Zerg Warrior she has spawned account for at least 80% of her strength. The Zerg Mother Emperor's greatest strength lies in the Zerg swarm tactic, where quantity leads to quality, enabling her to fight beyond her level.
Even an ordinary Zerg Mother Emperor of the World Lord Level possesses combat power that can overwhelm other World Lord of other races. If a million World Lord Level Zerg Warrior were to attack together, even King-level Immortal would have to retreat.
Not to mention Isabella, a top genius among the Zerg Mother Emperor. At her peak, Isabella absolutely possessed combat power comparable to Immortal Expert.
However, training Zerg Warrior is extremely resource-intensive, and it is also extremely difficult for the Zerg Mother Emperor to advance to become Immortal Expert.
"Only ten left?"
"Yes, Space Law cannot be used in the Chaotic God Demon Domain, so my speed of nurturing Zerg Warrior is severely suppressed. In addition, when I first landed here, a large group of natives were lying in ambush, ready to hunt down us outsiders who had come here by accident."
My Zerg Warrior suffered heavy casualties in their attempts to withstand their attack.
"My current strength is not even one percent of my peak strength," said Isabella, the Zerg Mother Emperor, feigning a pitiful expression.
Hearing this, Zhang Junbao felt somewhat fortunate that he had encountered Isabella in the Chaotic God Demon Domain, where her strength had been severely weakened.
The Zerg are one of the most powerful races in the universe, capable of outmaneuvering humanity. A single Zerg Mother Emperor Nest can spawn trillions upon trillions of warriors, who can roam the universe and rely on swarm tactics in battle.
These Zerg Warrior are of low intelligence, but they are absolutely obedient to the Mother Emperor's orders and are the most important component of the Mother Emperor's fighting force.
The swarm tactic can be described as extremely mindless, yet quite unbeatable. It doesn't reason with you; it unleashes a saturation attack with countless Zerg Warrior. Even a stronger being a level above them would have to be cautious when faced with it.
There's a saying on Earth that ants can kill an elephant if they're numerous enough, let alone the endless, overwhelming Zerg Warrior.
In the Original Universe, even if Zhang Junbao could defeat Isabella, it wouldn't have been so easy. The terrifying aspect of the insect swarm tactic is not only the combined attack power of the insects, but also the endless number of Zerg Warrior, which could wear down an ordinary World Lord just by attrition.
Within the Chaotic God Demon Domain, Isabella's combat power was severely weakened, and even the speed at which she could spawn Zerg Warrior became incredibly slow, which gave Zhang Junbao an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
However, that's how battles are in the universe. No one can guarantee that they will be at their peak when they encounter an enemy. There's no such thing as a sneak attack. Once you encounter an enemy, you can only fight.
You can't tell the enemy to wait until they recover before attacking after you've been injured; nobody's stupid enough to wait until the enemy is fully recovered before coming at them.
The universe is never short of stories of the strong being wounded and then killed by the weak.
Zhang Junbao encountered Isabella, the top genius Mother Emperor of the Zerg, then defeated her and Soul Enslavement —this is the truth.
Cruel and cold!
However, Zhang Junbao is now looking forward to seeing what will happen after Isabella recovers her strength. She is a top genius in the Queen's Secret Realm among the Zerg, comparable to a master-level member of the Primal Secret Realm of humans, and should not be underestimated.
"If you invest resources, how much strength can you restore?"
Mother Emperor Isabella pondered for a moment and said, "Here, my Mother Emperor Nest cannot open its internal space, severely limiting the speed at which it can breed Zerg Warrior. Furthermore, it cannot breed warriors that are too large. It will probably take quite some time to restore the Zerg swarm tactics."
"If I were to restore my peak strength and cultivate a million World Lord Level Zerg Warrior, it would take at least three hundred years."
"Three hundred years? That's incredibly slow."
"There's nothing I can do. The Chaotic God Demon Domain suppressed my Law Comprehension, preventing me from opening the Mother Emperor Nest. Otherwise, my gestation speed could have increased several times over," said Isabella, the Zerg Mother Emperor, with a sense of grievance.
Zhang Junbao thought for a moment and asked, "If I only let you train a small number of elite warriors, wouldn't there be fewer restrictions?"
"A small number of elite warriors? But that means we can't use swarm tactics!"
Zhang Junbao recalled the Zerg Mother Emperor he had enslaved during his trials in the Trial Tower. The Insect King that the Mother Emperor eventually gave birth to was extremely terrifying, but the Insect King's own combat power surpassed that of Bolan, who was known as the most talented at the time.
Ultimately, due to the Virtual Universe Company forcing him to betray them, he engaged in a great battle with Zhang Junbao, which took him a great deal of effort to kill the Insect King.
"That's right. Although your Zerg Mother Nest space is limited, if you only breed a few elite Zerg Warrior, or even directly raise Insect King, the limitations should be much smaller."
In the Chaotic God Demon Domain, ordinary Zerg Warrior are of little use, and the training time required is too long. We simply don't have that much time to wait for you to slowly train them."
"In that case, why not just cultivate the Insect King directly? We're going to collect the remaining six Law Core, and we'll definitely encounter many Divine Cities and World Lord along the way. Those resources should be enough for you to nurture a few Insect King, right?"
Zhang Junbao's words gave Zerg Mother Emperor Isabella of the Zerg a glimmer of hope. She habitually believed that the Zerg should employ a swarm tactic, and indeed, this tactic proved to be extremely formidable.
However, in the Chaotic God Demon Domain, the combined attacks of ordinary Zerg Warrior would be completely ineffective against an opponent like Zhang Junbao.
Under the confinement of the Space-Time Domain, weaker Zerg Warrior have no chance to struggle and will be killed instantly.
"If it's just about training a small number of elite Zerg Warrior, that's perfectly fine!"
The Mother Emperor Nest did not suppress the energy transfer to the Zerg Warrior; it only nurtured a small elite group, which could even become stronger.
If we're talking about training Zerg Warrior who can become Insect King, I recommend the ' Sharp Shadow Zerg ' from the Shadow Zerg.
Master, did you know that the Nasta Zerg, a branch of the Sharp Shadow Zerg, once gave birth to the Nasta, a true super being among our Zerg? They were the most powerful warriors of our race!
Zhang Junbao nodded. He had specifically studied the Zerg and was naturally familiar with the story of the ' Nasta ' Zerg.
Ordinary Zerg Warrior have almost no independent consciousness of their own; they only have a weak instinct to obey the Mother Emperor's commands. Strictly speaking, they are not independent life forms, but rather symbiotic life forms subordinate to the Zerg Mother Emperor.
However, an unexpected event occurred among the Nasta Zerg. One of Nasta Zerg warriors accidentally devoured a special treasure, evolved, and gained independent will.
This even led to other Nasta warriors within their race developing some independent consciousness. Ultimately, the mutated Nasta Zerg warriors continued to evolve, becoming super-powerful beings and eventually legendary figures within the entire Zerg.
" Insect King bred by the Nasta Zerg is indeed a good choice. A former Zerg warrior, and Insect King with independent consciousness, he has extremely high potential for development."
"Furthermore, I think you could try cultivating Zerg King of different attributes, such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—one of each of the five attributes. This way, you wouldn't need to comprehend the five basic Law of Space Law on your own, and you might even be able to fuse Space Law together."
When Zhang Junbao saw the million Zerg Warrior, he had thought about this question. A combined attack from a million World Lord Level Zerg Warrior could unleash an attack comparable to King-level Immortal. If he were to control these Zerg Warrior, using the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation technique in conjunction with the attacks of the million Zerg Warrior, the power that would be unleashed would probably make even Peak King expert take notice.
Now that he has successfully enslaved the Zerg Mother Emperor Isabella, Zhang Junbao will begin his own plans.
Unable to nurture a million Zerg Warrior within the Chaotic God Demon Domain, they used the most basic Taiji Eight Trigrams Array as their base. Zhang Junbao was very curious about the terrifying power that would be when the eight Zerg King of different attributes unleashed their attacks in this way.
Even more unimaginable was Zhang Junbao's idea.
"If a Zerg King were to be born on Earth, would that Zerg King acquire the unique mindset that the Sitting Mountain Guest has for transforming the Earth?"
"Since the Naska Zerg warriors possess independent consciousness, it means they can communicate. What kind of waves would a legendary Zerg Warrior with extremely high mental cultivation cause if he returned to the Zerg race?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Junbao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
One of his decisions could very well determine the fate of a pinnacle race in the universe.
"That's all for later. Let's leave the Chaotic God Demon Domain first."
Since a three-dimensional Taiji Eight Trigrams Array can trigger the Space-Time Law, then using eight Zerg King with different attributes should also be able to unleash powerful attacks.
Although Zhang Junbao himself dared not reveal the secrets of the Law Core Execution Runes, if simplified and transformed into a battle formation usable by Zerg Warrior, it would appear to others merely as a combined attack technique of a group of Zerg Warrior. This way Law Core Execution Secrets could be utilized without being detected by others.
Zhang Junbao smiled slightly, finally finding a good approach.
" Isabella, if you were to cultivate Zerg King with eight fundamental Law attributes, what resources would you need?"
"What? Zerg King with eight fundamental Law attributes?"
"That's right, I plan to arrange them into Eight Trigrams Array formation, the secret technique you just sensed."
"Master, is it really okay?"
Upon hearing Zhang Junbao's words, Zerg Mother Emperor Isabella's eyes lit up. Abandoning her identity as Soul Slave, she was also a top genius comparable to a member of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Region Member, and naturally knew just how terrifying the secret technique Zhang Junbao had just tried was.
If such a secret technique can be mastered by her Zerg Warrior, then the combined attack of a million Zerg is completely incomparable to this technique.
If the combined attack of a million World Lord Zerg could indeed unleash a power comparable to that of King-level Immortal, then the power of the Eight Trigrams Array would absolutely be comparable to King-level Immortal secret technique at the level of Law.
One is a simple energy attack, while the other is a secret technique attack; their power is simply incomparable.
"This is an experiment. Since you can only cultivate a small number of elite Zerg in the Chaotic God Demon Domain, ordinary combined attack techniques are not very useful. It would be better to try the effect of the Space Eight Trigrams Array."
Zhang Junbao nodded. Using Zerg Warrior to test the effectiveness of the Space Eight Trigrams Array was the best method. They were 100% obedient to commands, and there was no need to worry about coordination issues. Zerg Warrior were born to obey orders.
"If this is the cultivation method, I need a World Lord Level corpse containing the energy of eight Law and the power of origin. This cultivation method is fast and has extremely high energy utilization. After all, I am directly cultivating it, so there will be no waste of energy resources."
"I can provide you with the energy of the Origin Law; absorbing it directly from the void would be too inefficient."
"Now that the core of the Laws of Law of Light and Flame Law is in my hands, I can draw vast amounts of primordial power from the Land of Origin Laws to nurture your Insect King."
"Excellent! The Insect King that my master and I have conceived will surely shine brightly in the universe!"
Zerg Mother Emperor Isabella of the Zerg looked at Zhang Junbao with eyes full of reverence, a genuine admiration.
"Even without Soul Enslavement, perhaps I would still be captivated by my master's unique charm!" Zerg Mother Emperor Isabella of the Zerg thought to herself.
Zhang Junbao had no idea what Isabella was thinking. He only knew that controlling a Zerg Mother Emperor was equivalent to controlling a Zerg army.
In a one-on-one fight, one hundred King- World Lord Zerg Warrior might not be able to defeat ten thousand ordinary World Lord Zerg, given the huge difference in numbers.
However, if he were to control these one hundred King- World Lord Zerg Warrior, Zhang Junbao was even confident that he could annihilate ten thousand World Lord Zerg while leaving the one hundred King-level World Lord Zerg Warrior unharmed. This was the fundamental difference between chaotic battles and mastering the secret technique of combined attacks.
Quantity alone is meaningless in the face of a tactical master like Zhang Junbao, who has grasped the True Meaning of Taiji.
The True Meaning of Taiji is to use minimal force to deflect maximum force; the force that is affected is not only one's own, but also the enemy's.
When the enemy's million- World Lord Zerg met Zhang Junbao's Zerg King, tragedy was already inevitable.
P. S.: I'm guilty. I was planning to add an extra chapter today, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I can't write it now. I'll have to postpone it!
