The Desert Horror Ants that were released jumped up into the sky without any hesitation as they charged right at the red lighting bolt that was falling down on Brainy.
As soon as they came close to the red bolt of lightning, they immediately blew up in the air.
This was the special effect of the parasite seed that Brainy had placed inside of them. With just a single thought Brainy could blow them up, which would also blow up the puppet that it was in.
If it was a living puppet, perhaps they might have been able to resist to a certain extent based on their cultivation, but Brainy wouldn't do that to a living puppet unless they betrayed it. After all, living puppets were hard to come by and each living puppet lost was another one gone.
The Desert Horror Ants that Brainy had thrown into the air at the red bolt of lightning were all dead puppets. These were all Desert Horror Ants that had willingly given up their lives to be turned into bombs.
The Desert Horror Ants existed to protect the queen and since the queen was currently Brainy's puppet, that meant that Brainy was above even their queen. So for them, to die for Brainy was to die for the queen, something that they were honoured to do.
Inside of the hive that Brainy kept the Desert Horror Ants in, the queen was organizing a mass culling of her soldier ants. Once the soldier ant was killed, Brainy's seed was placed inside of the dead soldier. However, the seed that was placed inside of the Desert Horror Ants wasn't the normal parasite seeds, but rather the explosive seeds that Brainy could also use.
With these explosive seeds inside them, when they blew up, the explosion was much stronger than just these Gold Realm Desert Horror Ants blowing themselves up. The explosion was strong enough to even injure those in the Primary Soul Realm because they were attacks formed from the life energy of a Primary Soul Realm beast like Brainy.
But even with hundreds of these Desert Horror Ants blowing up near the bolt of lightning falling down, it didn't cause it to waver at all. The force released by the bolt of lightning was just as strong as before.
Still, Brainy didn't give up because there were plenty of Desert Horror Ant corpses that he could use as bombs.
Even though there were hundreds of Desert Horror Ants being used as bombs, that wasn't even a fraction of what the queen ant could produce each day, so this wasn't enough to make Brainy hurt just yet and there was no way he would run out of bombs.
Eventually, after the five hundredth bomb hit the red bolt of lightning it finally began to waver.
Brainy didn't stop throwing bombs at it when it saw this, as it kept launching more and more Desert Horror Ant corpses right at the red bolt of lightning.
Finally, the thousandth explosion was able to weaken it enough where Brainy's two turtle guard puppets were able to block it without much trouble.
Even though Brainy had been able to easily block this bolt of red lightning, that didn't mean anything since this was only the second bolt of lightning in this tribulation. There were still seven more bolts of lightning that were about to fall and each one would become stronger in time.
If Brainy were to rely on the Desert Horror Ant explosions the entire time, it would most certainly run out of Desert Horror Ant corpses since each bolt of lightning would take more and more explosions to block.
While the specialty of the Insect Race was their ability to multiply their numbers, there was a limited amount of space in the hive and there was a limited number of eggs that the Desert Horror Queen could lay in a single day. There was no doubt that Brainy would run out in the end.
However, Brainy didn't panic even though that was the case.
Watching the red lightning ferment in the clouds, Brainy suddenly released even more puppets with a single thought.
This time, they weren't the Desert Horrors or more turtle shields, rather there were beasts of all different shapes and sizes that had appeared. However, if one looked carefully at them, they would notice that every single one of these beasts were in the Fragmented Soul Realm.
It was hard to get an exact number, but there were easily over five hundred beasts that had appeared around Brainy.
With just a single thought, Brainy had brought out an entire army.
That was the advantage that Brainy had as a parasite beast, it was able to release an army even if it didn't have any life energy or spiritual sense left. All it had to do was rely on the parasite seeds that it had already placed in its puppets beforehand to control them.
These parasite seeds were created with spiritual sense and then stored in Brainy, so even without spiritual sense or life energy, Brainy could still control them. However, if Brainy was lacking spiritual sense, it meant that it wouldn't be able to finely control them like it was normally capable of.
The other strange thing was that all the puppets that Brainy had just released had dull looks in their eyes and lacked vital energy. All of these were just the dead puppets that Brainy had, Brainy also had quite a few live puppets that it had stored away in Lin Fan's pet storage!
After another few seconds, the third bolt of red lightning fell down, but this time, the results were completely different.
As soon as the red bolt of lightning fell down, the puppets began releasing their attacks to bombard that red bolt of lightning.
Unlike before where the explosions of the Desert Horror corpses were unable to shake the bolt of red lightning, after just a single round of attacks, the red bolt of lightning had completely dissipated.
That was the difference between the level of attacks just now.
The Desert Horror Ant corpses only exploded with the might of the Primary Soul Realm, but these puppets that Brainy had brought out were all truly in the Fragmented Soul Realm. That meant that each of these attacks from the puppets was equal to an attack from a Fragmented Soul Realm Expert. The Primary Soul Realm and the Fragmented Soul Realm, they were two completely different concepts.
It was even overkill to release five hundred Fragmented Soul Realm attacks at the bolt of red lightning. It wasn't even able to resist half of the Fragmented Soul Realm attacks before disappearing.
Still, even with how easy it was to break this third bolt of red lightning, Brainy didn't let its guard down.
The fourth and fifth bolts of red lightning were all taken care of by the attacks of the Fragmented Soul Realm beasts, but things changed with the sixth bolt of lightning.
The sixth bolt of lightning didn't break with just a single round of attacks, it took several rounds of attacks before finally breaking apart. It had come quite close to hitting Brainy head on.
Seeing this, Brainy knew that it had to change up its strategy, otherwise it wouldn't be able to deal with the final three bolts of lightning.
When the seventh bolt of lightning fell down, without any hesitation, Brainy released Desert Horror Ant corpses and started throwing them into the sky along with the Fragmented Soul Realm attacks.
It was a full bombardment with all the attacks that Brainy could release and after throwing around two thousand Desert Horror Ant corpses, Brainy was finally able to destroy that seventh bolt of lightning.
But then came the eighth bolt of lightning…
Without even thinking about it, Brainy released even more puppets, but this time they were more turtle puppets. They formed a layer of shields right in front of Brainy.
Even after throwing five thousand Desert Horror Ant corpses, Brainy wasn't able to shatter the bolt of lightning in the end. Brainy was forced to resist it with its shield puppets.
It was a good thing that Brainy had planned ahead and brought out even more shield puppets to create that wall of shields in front of it. The bolt of lightning directly pierced through five different layers of shields before being stopped by the final five layers of shields.
After blocking this eighth bolt of lightning, Brainy looked up at the cloud in the sky with a worried look.
It had used all of its powers already and there was nothing else that it could pull out, unless it was willing to make a sacrifice…
While Brainy was thinking, the ninth bolt of lightning fell down.
As soon as it did, Brainy snapped back from its thoughts and after a slight second of hesitation, Brainy suddenly gave an order.
Instead of releasing Desert Horror Ant corpses this time, Brainy had directly sent five of the Fragmented Soul Realm puppets around it into the sky. These five puppets flew right at the bolt of lightning and when they were right about to clash, the five puppets suddenly exploded.
The might of the five puppets exploding was like five attacks in the peak Fragmented Soul Realm, it was even strong enough to threaten Lin Fan's five other pets, so there was no need to mention this bolt of lightning.
The reason why Brainy didn't want to use this final trump card was because each Fragmented Soul Realm puppet that was destroyed was a puppet that was lost forever. Brainy didn't want to lose these puppets unless it had no other choice because it was hard to replace them.
But it was a good thing that Lin Fan's pets had just brought back two more corpses for Brainy to turn into puppets.
After the explosion of the five puppets, the bolt of red lightning had become much smaller, but it didn't disappear in the end.
Brainy looked at it and was about to send out another puppet to blow it up, but then it realized that this wouldn't work.
Brainy could feel the connection that tiny bolt of lightning had with it. Brainy could tell that this tiny bolt of lightning had heaven's will in it and unless Brainy took it with its own body, the tribulation would never end.
So with another thought, the puppets stopped bombarding the tiny bolt of lightning with their attacks. After all, even with the bombardment of attacks, it had done nothing to the tiny bolt of lightning, so there was no need to keep attacking it.
The tiny bolt of lightning quickly fell down and touched Brainy, giving Brainy a tiny shock before disappearing.
As soon as that tiny shock was over, Brainy could feel the floodgates of its cultivation breaking open and waves of life energy surged into Brainy.
Brainy was finally about to break through.
