Chapter 324

It was as if there was no day or night in this world.

The thirty-two bug beasts from the small bug swarm earned Gu Ding 1.6 million points.

Gu Ding continued for another eighteen hours and slaughtered twenty-six small bug swarms. His points skyrocketed to 43.98 million.

However, the multiplier of the Imperial Body of Nature was only 999 times. Gu Ding looked at the multiplier and was speechless. "The further I go, the more difficult it is to increase the multiplier. When I was at the twenty-fifth bug swarm, the multiplier was 998. After devouring thirty-six bug beasts from the twenty-sixth bug swarm, the multiplier only increased to 999 …"

"The first three levels of the Imperial Body of Nature are called the Giant Strength Realm. They are the basic levels of the Imperial Body of Nature. The fourth to sixth levels are called the Devil Elephant Realm. The Devil Elephant was the creature with the strongest vitality in ancient times. It was far stronger than any other life form. The strength of its flesh could be ranked in the top three in the entire ancient times. In ancient times, an adult Devil Elephant was tens of thousands of miles long. Its size was comparable to a small planet. To reach the Devil Elephant Realm, you need a large amount of vitality in your body to support it. The bug beasts you devoured now are much stronger than ordinary people, but compared to a real Devil Elephant, you are still far from it. "

Neptune's explanation helped Gu Ding find a way out. He originally thought there was something wrong with his cultivation, but after hearing Neptune's explanation, he suddenly saw the light.

"That means I need to devour more vitality?" Gu Ding's eyes lit up.

"That's right!" Neptune was very sure. "The Imperial Body of Nature is a very powerful divine power. Just the first Giant Strength Realm alone can instantly increase one's combat effectiveness by a thousand times. After reaching the second level, the Devil Elephant Realm, your flesh will be strengthened by ten times for every level you advance. This kind of strengthening is permanent. There are a total of three levels in the Devil Elephant Realm. In other words, when cultivated to the extreme, your flesh will be permanently strengthened by three small ranks. Under normal circumstances, the strength of the flesh can only be further improved by advancing to the next level. However, the advancement of the Devil Elephant Realm does not conflict with the advancement of ranks. This means that when cultivated to the extreme of the Devil Elephant Realm, your flesh can be three small ranks higher than others of the same cultivation level. "

"Permanent strengthening of the flesh …" Gu Ding was looking forward to the second level of the Imperial Body of Nature. "We're going to a medium-sized swarm this time!"

Gu Ding's decision was not reckless. The effect of his Emperor Body of Nature Manifestation had been increased to 999 times, and his combat effectiveness had reached the five-star level. Not only had his attack power increased, but his speed and defense had also increased. There were about two hundred insects in a medium-sized swarm, which was six or seven times more than a small swarm, but Gu Ding was confident that he could handle it. Moreover, the improvement brought by the small-sized bug swarm had almost stopped, so he needed more blood energy.

Neptune had also roughly estimated Gu Ding's combat effectiveness and felt that he should be able to handle a medium-sized bug swarm. Even if he could not handle it, Gu Ding still had his two trump cards, the Devouring Flame and his Domain. His life would not be in danger.

Gu Ding ran all the way into the depths of the desert. His route led straight to a medium-sized insect swarm.

This swarm of insects was the Sawtooth Clan. Not only were their mouthparts shaped like two one-meter-long sawtooth scissors, but their four pairs of legs were also filled with sharp black sawteeth. Moreover, it was about twice the size of the Bug Tribe Gu Ding had encountered before. Its body was light, and it had two pairs of sharp wings on its back, allowing it to move very quickly. Even though they were slightly smaller, it was only relatively speaking. These insects were still nearly two meters tall when they stood up. This light body structure matched well with the sawtooth structure on its body, allowing the attack to produce a better cutting effect.

Moreover, these insects were very aggressive. When they saw Gu Ding from afar, they flapped their wings and swarmed him.

Gu Ding tried his best to dodge, but before he could do anything, a large gash appeared on his body. The effect of the sawteeth was indeed terrifying. With just a slight touch, the sawteeth pulled and scraped off a piece of flesh from Gu Ding's arm. His entire arm was instantly bloody.

Fortunately, Gu Ding's recovery ability was strong, and the injury was healed in a moment.

However, it also alerted Gu Ding. The reason he was attacked was not only because there were too many insects, but also because these insects had sawteeth on their four pairs of legs. Not only did they fly quickly, but they could also turn very nimbly. Gu Ding was not hit by their front legs, but by a bug beast's hind legs when it turned. He did not notice that the insect's hind legs also had sawteeth that could be used for attack.

Now that he was alert, Gu Ding quickly got into the zone and killed the first sawtooth insect with four consecutive attacks. Then, the second, the third …

After nearly an hour and a half of the intense battle, 218 bug beasts had been completely wiped out by Gu Ding. His body was covered in blood, but with his high-speed regeneration ability, his physical condition was not too affected. The black devouring flame spewed out again and instantly covered more than two hundred beast carcasses. In less than ten seconds, they were completely devoured.

Waves of powerful Vitality energy were fed back by the devouring flame and poured into Gu Ding's body, joining the operation of the Emperor Manifestation Body.

Gu Ding could clearly feel that every cell in his body was full of power, but the effect of the Emperor Manifestation Body was still stable. "It's still not working. Looks like I need to devour more insect beasts."

Gu Ding immediately ran toward the second medium-sized insect swarm …

At the same time, the other members of Gu Ding's crew were also fighting hard.

Biggie was the closest to Gu Ding, but he was already nearly a thousand kilometers away from Gu Ding. He walked out of a large insect swarm covered in foul-smelling insect blood. "A large insect swarm is no longer a challenge … I wonder if a special insect swarm can help me break through and become a demigod."

Tagore, on the other hand, came out of a bug beast's stomach with a bug core in his mouth, and he raised his head and swallowed it. Once again, he called up the map projection and his eyes fell on a large insect swarm's gathering place. He had already easily wiped out three of the medium-sized insect swarm, so it was no longer a challenge.

Lilliath and the other three had just broken into a medium-sized insect swarm of two-star Soldier level. Robert was just watching from the outside and did not participate in the battle, while the other three quickly cleaned up the swarm.

Erza looked very brave. Wherever her giant axe passed, there was no living thing. Dockett, on the other hand, threw out twelve flying daggers at the same time. Although he could not kill the insects in one blow, he could kill one in two or three consecutive blows. The strangest thing was Lilliath. She did not use a gun, but Pupillary Ability. Her eyes glowed with a golden light, and the insects that looked at her instantly fell into a state of confusion, madly attacking other insects.

Other than Gu Ding's crew, after nearly a day and a night of fighting, everyone else had also adapted to the rhythm here, and their combat state had also stabilized.

The nine people in the TOP1 group also went deep into a five-star insect swarm's gathering place, which was a canyon outside the city. After entering the canyon, they split up and went straight for the elite insect swarm.

The seven people from the Freedom Alliance entered another Grade-5 Bug Beast gathering place. It was a huge stone forest. After entering the stone forest, they also split up. Other than Sharp, all of them went straight for the elite insect swarm.

The three hundred people from the Army's Elite Legion entered the same area as Gu Ding's crew, but they moved in small teams of ten people. They entered the depths of the desert and went straight for the special insect swarm.

Neptune also realized that these guys actually had a map. After thinking about it, he did not find it strange. After all, the Army and the Freedom Alliance had sent newcomers here many times before. It was normal for people who had been here before to leave a map.

However, Neptune was not worried at all because the Federal Government had previously revealed that the ruins were currently only 5% developed. In other words, the Federal Government only had 5% of the map at most, but he could see 100% of the complete map. He also realized that the ruins were indeed not small. It was half the size of Skyriver Sector, and Gu Ding's hometown Skyriver Sector was considered a mid-sized sector in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. Although it was considered average in Faye Cosmic Nation, it was not small.

Of course, he had also noticed that the Federation Government's Elite Legion had entered the same desert as Gu Ding. However, the area of this desert was twice the surface area of the entire Cerule planet, so it was not easy to bump into them. Currently, Gu Ding was the closest to the Elite Legion team, and he was also more than eight hundred kilometers away.

In this area, Poseidon was an omniscient existence. He clearly knew everyone's position and recorded the number of kills and the rank of each person. Therefore, it was not difficult to calculate everyone's achievement points. He also knew that Gu Ding's 40 million Merit Points might seem scary, but in fact, there were already four people who had more than 100 million Merit Points.

Among them, the one with the highest Merit Points was Star from the Freedom Alliance. He had always been mingling with various large 5-star Elite Bug Swarms. With his cultivation, killing a 5-star Elite Bug Beast was worth 80,000 Merit Points, and destroying a Bug Swarm was worth more than 70 million Merit Points. He had already destroyed six Bug Swarms by himself, and his Merit Points were more than 400 million, ten times more than Gu Ding's.

Biggie was ranked second in merit points. He had been killing normal 5-star Soldier Level beasts and like Gu Ding, he earned 50,000 merit points for each beast he killed. The number of beasts he killed was not much less than Stark's, but his merit points were much lower, only about two hundred and forty million.

In third place was Sharp from the Freedom Alliance. Unlike the others in the Freedom Alliance, his first opponent was a 5-star Soldier Level Bug Beast. After warming up for nearly three hours and familiarizing himself with the rhythm of the battle, he moved to the special Bug Beast area. His cultivation was only at demigod level, so his Merit Points increased very quickly. He had more than 210 million Merit Points.

In fourth place was an Interstellar Pirate named Leon. He had a bounty of more than 30 million Merit Points, and he was only a 1-star Lower Deity. His performance during the assessment was not very impressive, and he had a 5-star Attack Power. However, after entering the ruins, he rushed straight into the depths of the desert and used a powerful group killing divine ability to kill a large number of 5-star Soldier Level Bug Beasts. He could kill a large Bug Swarm in less than five minutes, which was more than ten times faster than Biggie and the others. Moreover, he had a map with him, but the description on the map was not very detailed. He only knew where the Bug Swarm was, but he did not know the size of the Bug Swarm. Most of his time was spent on the road, so his Merit Points increased a little more than 180 million Merit Points.

The person in fifth place had less than 100 million Merit Points, and Gu Ding's 40 million Merit Points put him in seventh place.

Although each and every one of the Federal Government's TOP1 fellows appeared to be very strong, they were all Lesser Five-Star Deities. Although they had killed quite a lot of Zergs, the highest Merit Points among them was only a little over 2,000,000, and they were ranked outside the top 20.

When Gu Ding arrived at the location of the second medium-sized swarm, his merit points skyrocketed again …
