Seeing the Star Worm Queen constantly adapting to Saint Xi’s Power and growing stronger, Li Wei was also contemplating how to deal with it.
Brute force alone was no longer an option.
He couldn’t use the Meteor Fireball Technique here.
If he could, he would have a chance to overwhelm the Star Worm Queen with massive damage.
Attacking recklessly now would only fuel the Star Worm Queen’s power, making it even stronger.
Seeing that the Star Worm Queen could even absorb and evolve from Saint Xi’s Holy Power, a flash of inspiration struck Li Wei, and he came up with an idea.
This led to the situation just now.
An inconspicuous orb of light, mixed into the Holy Dragon Breath, had been absorbed by the Star Worm Queen.
It was a completely different type of Power. Although this Power wasn’t strong, the queen’s adaptive instincts took over.
The Star Worm Queen absorbed, digested, and converted it into its own ability without any hesitation.
The very next second, it paid the price.
After absorbing this ability, the Star Worm Queen discovered that the energy inside its body was expanding exponentially.
However, it was unable to utilize this converted energy.
The Power Li Wei had mixed into the orb of light was Elemental Fission.
Elemental Fission can cause matter to undergo Elementalization, releasing the immense energy contained within.
This very change was occurring inside the Star Worm Queen; the matter in its body was rapidly undergoing Elementalization, converting into Elemental Energy.
Li Wei had noticed from the beginning that the Star Worm Queen had not evolved any means of Elemental Attack.
He wasn’t sure why.
He had seen Star Worms that could breathe fire before.
So, Star Worms should be capable of adaptive evolution to gain Elemental Attack methods.
Li Wei guessed that the Star Worm Queen might have given up a certain type of ability during its evolution.
Although it couldn’t evolve Elemental Abilities through adaptation, it could develop stronger Magic Resistance when facing Elemental Magic Attacks.
Just like how it had golden stripes containing Holy Power on its body, but it couldn’t actually use Holy Power.
The golden stripes gave it higher resistance to Holy Power.
It was as if all its evolutionary skill points for energy had been put into defense.
The Star Worm Queen’s body continued to undergo Elementalization, but it couldn’t control this ability.
After Saint Xi stopped her attack, she glanced at the Star Worm Queen and quickly turned to fly far away.
The Star Worm Queen’s body had already changed from bluish-black to red, like a boiled lobster. Its carapace turned red under the glow of the massive amount of Elemental Energy within.
But because the Star Worm Queen’s carapace had evolved extremely strong Magic Resistance, the Elemental Energy inside couldn’t be released and was confined within its sturdy carapace.
It was like a bomb.
As more and more of its body underwent Elementalization, the chain reaction of the Elemental Fission accelerated.
CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP! CRACK CRACK CRACK!
The Star Worm Queen’s body began to swell like a balloon.
When Li Wei saw its body expand to over twenty meters without its outer carapace shattering, a look of regret crossed his face.
’If this carapace were used to craft equipment, one could definitely forge Legendary Level gear with incredible Magic Resistance. It might even be able to withstand a Forbidden Curse.’
Once the Elemental Energy converted from the matter inside the Star Worm Queen’s body surpassed a certain limit, the carapace with its incredible Magic Resistance finally gave way.
With a loud CRACK, in less than 0.0001 seconds, all the Elemental Energy inside the Star Worm Queen erupted, transforming into an immense Fireball inside the Ice Emperor’s stomach.
The shockwave from the explosion stirred up a tempest in the ocean of acid, creating earth-shattering waves.
Li Wei and Saint Xi had already retreated to a safe distance, but they were still hit by the splashing acid.
Fortunately, they had retreated far enough that the aftershock wasn’t too strong.
When the blinding light dissipated, both the Star Worm Queen and the huge, black island that was the Star Worm Nest had vanished.
Everything had been annihilated in the terrifying explosion.
Just as Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, the entire world began to shake.
RUMBLE! SWAY! SWAY!
Even larger waves than before erupted. The acidic seawater shot toward the sky, as if the entire world was about to turn upside down.
Both Li Wei and Saint Xi revealed a hint of panic.
Soon, Li Wei realized it wasn’t the world that was flipping over.
It was the Ice Emperor, making a move.
The earlier explosion had affected the Ice Emperor as well, which was what caused the apocalyptic scene before them.
After churning for more than ten minutes, the world finally settled down.
Just when Li Wei thought it was all over,
an irresistible superstorm swept in.
Caught in the storm, Li Wei and Saint Xi lost sight of each other in an instant.
The storm carried Li Wei toward the end of the acid ocean, where he saw a massive whirlpool.
The storm sent him straight into it.
Li Wei’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly put up his full defense.
BANG!
His entire body was submerged in the whirlpool of the acid ocean.
HSSSsssss!
His Magic Shield was rapidly corroding, and Li Wei’s Mana was being consumed at an astonishing rate.
Fortunately, this didn’t last long.
Li Wei was thrown out of the whirlpool and arrived in a strange new world.
He floated in mid-air, and just as he managed to recover from his dizziness, he was stunned by the sight before him.
Before him was a massive ring-shaped world. Above, below, to the left, and to the right was an endless expanse of land covered with trees.
For a moment, he couldn’t tell which way was up, which was the sky, and which was the ground.
Li Wei floated in the air for a while before beginning to fall in one direction.
As he was falling, Li Wei remembered that he had been separated from Saint Xi.
He hurriedly searched for any sign of her.
’What’s going on? Did Saint Xi not make it through?’
Li Wei couldn’t sense Saint Xi’s aura.
He closed his eyes, sensing their soul link.
Saint Xi was alive and well, uninjured, and her emotions were stable.
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn’t know where Saint Xi had been swept away to by that sudden storm, at least she wasn’t in any danger.
The next step was to find a way to reunite.
The distance between them was too great for Li Wei to communicate with Saint Xi on a soul level.
He could only determine her general direction through the faint sensation of their soul link.
Li Wei flew in the direction where he sensed Saint Xi.
He glanced around. Not far away was the tree-filled, ring-shaped landmass.
Although it was a ring world, when he landed on the ground, its curvature was completely unnoticeable.
Li Wei sensed that more than half of his Mana was depleted. ’Before I look for Saint Xi,’ he thought, ’I need to recover some Mana.
’Otherwise, if I run into any danger and don’t have enough Mana to deal with it, I’ll be in trouble.’
Li Wei took out some Celestial Snow Water to drink, slowly recovering his Mana.
The surrounding trees seemed to react to the Celestial Snow Water in his hands, making a rustling sound.
Li Wei turned his head and saw several nearby trees growing toward him, gradually surrounding him like Venus flytraps that had spotted their prey.
