At such a critical moment, Meng Zhou did not focus on his own salvation. Instead, he was distracted. His purpose was very clear, that is, he wanted to confirm the status of these golden-armored spirit insects.
In order to avoid disturbing his own state of mind, Meng Zhou took the initiative to cut off all attention to the outside world since he entered the "Xingxiu Tianchi" this time.
He carefully hid the golden-armored spirit insect, which was sleeping quietly in the eight wastelands of the outer world. From waking up to opening the beast's bag, the series of actions were all planned by him in advance.
They are all acting strictly according to the "plan" they have set in advance.
As for their current state, whether they have begun to overcome the tribulation, whether they have succeeded in overcoming the tribulation... Meng Zhou did not know all of this.
Until this moment, when he was "connected online" with those golden-armored spirit insects again, Meng Zhou finally knew that these golden-armored spirit insects had not only successfully triggered the True Spirit Tribulation, but had also reached the final moment.
The distance between these golden-armored spirit insects scattered in the eight wastelands of the outer world and him was much further than those Tai Sui bodies in various animal forms scattered throughout the Xingxiu Sea.
But in Meng Zhou's perception, the "light clusters" displayed by these golden armored spirit insects were unique in both brightness and size.
Even the "light clusters" closest to them, which represented the clones of the Dew Star Lotus and had the third level of ultimate strength, were dwarfed by them.
This shows that the individual strength of these golden armored spirit insects has improved by leaps and bounds.
This is a welcome change.
——This is also the change that occurred after this sublimation and transformation at the spiritual level.
Previously, because the distance was too far, he could barely sense the swarm of golden beetles.
But if you get more specific, it's very vague.
Relatively speaking, Meng Zhou's perception of the "transparent circular mirror" made of the natal living poison assimilated by the soul pool, and the Luxing Star Lotus spiritual body implanted with the third-level top-grade soul clone, was actually clearer.
Now, not only is it easier to do all this, but it is also clearer. Meng Zhou has a clear feeling that as long as he is willing, he can go deep into a specific "light group" at any time and immerse himself in the first place.
The way of perspective is substituted into it.
…
But soon, after noticing the number of "light clusters" corresponding to these golden-armored spirit insects, Meng Zhou was shocked again.
At the beginning, Meng Zhou used the essence and blood he had accumulated over the years to cultivate a total of 64,000 golden-armored spirit insects.
He directly divided these golden armored spirit insects into eight equal parts and placed them in eight wilderness areas respectively.
In other words, before the true spirit catastrophe was triggered, the number of golden armored spirit insects in each wilderness area was 8,000.
But now, there are not even 800 "light clusters" representing golden-armored spirit insects, let alone 8,000.
The situation is better, with barely four to five hundred left.
In the worst case, the number has even dropped below two hundred.
After the reconnection, the "Transparent Round Mirror" was updated in time in the "Deduction World", and Meng Zhou also had a very clear understanding of the current situation of the True Spirit Tribulation.
Just like the heavenly tribulations he was experiencing, the intensity of the true spirit tribulations was also stronger than the last.
Moreover, there is an obvious hurdle for every nine paths, and the intensity of the heavenly tribulation will be significantly enhanced.
In addition, between each heavenly tribulation, there is an obvious gap for the tribulation to adjust and breathe.
Between every nine heavenly tribulations, the intensity of the heavenly tribulation will reach a new level, and the time gap will also become longer.
Perhaps, this is just a process that the Heavenly Tribulation must go through in order to accumulate more power, but it also objectively gives those who have overcome the Tribulation a longer time to adjust and recover more calmly.
Now, when he paid attention to it, the golden-armored spirit insect had experienced forty-nine thirty-six heavenly tribulations in a row.
Now, it is the time for the Heavenly Tribulation to "get ready to climb higher" again.
Judging from the scale of the calamity cloud, the wave that is gathering momentum now should be the last wave and also the strongest wave.
Since he "saw" all this at the right time, he certainly couldn't stand by and watch the number of golden-armored spirit insects that had dropped sharply continue to decline.
Thinking like this, Meng Zhou had an idea and wanted to go deep into these "light groups".
In his opinion, if he were to face this last wave of catastrophe instead of the golden-armored spirit insect, the losses would be much smaller no matter what.
But when he made this decision, his thoughts went deep into the "light groups" that represented the golden armored spiritual insects.
Accidents happened one after another.
First of all, when his thoughts began to get closer and deeper, the "light clusters" representing the golden armored spirit insects showed obvious resistance.
The brilliance of the "light group" suddenly flashed sharply, and the idea that I thought I could easily go deep into found an obvious obstacle.
Meng Zhou was shocked and quickly understood what was going on.
It can be said that these golden-armored spirit insects were basically born from his heart essence and blood.
With the continuous cultivation of sufficient amounts of heart essence and blood of increasingly higher quality, the strength of the golden armored insect swarm is improving by leaps and bounds. As for each golden armored spirit insect, no one knows how many have been replaced.
By the end, they had become hugely different from the golden-armored spirit insects in the outside world.
It has become a unique swarm of strange insects that belongs exclusively to him.
From another perspective, you can even understand them as the embodiment, activation and insect swarm of your own heart essence.
Their bloodline is also deeply imprinted with the mark that belongs to him, Meng Zhou.
However, some time ago, I took the initiative to cut off the connection with these golden armored spirit insects.
Or at a time like this when they are crossing the border.
On the one hand, I took the initiative to loosen the "chain" tied to them.
On the other hand, in the process of overcoming the tribulation, the golden-armored spirit insects experienced wave after wave of life and death tests. Those who survived were able to break through the original shackles again and again, constantly sublimating, and constantly rushing to new heights.
.
During this process, the "brand" belonging to him in the blood of the Golden Armored Spirit Insect inevitably became weaker and weaker.
In other words, these golden-armored spirit insects are gradually getting out of his control as their bloodline continues to sublimate.
Meng Zhou estimated that it would be a little later if he "came over".
If these golden-armored spirit insects completely survive the true spirit tribulation and become fourth-level true spirits, they will completely break free from their control.
Even if there is a remedy, it must be dealt with at close range.
Anyway, don't even think about sensing the "life light group" they represent from such a long distance.
"Okay, okay, okay, I came here in time."
Meng Zhou felt very happy.
What he was most fortunate about was not that he had saved these golden beetles that he had managed to cultivate to such an extent.
Instead, he caught the "chain" that was about to be let go in time.
He knew very well that once these golden-armored spirit insects that had survived the True Spirit Tribulation were allowed to regain complete freedom and return to their "natural nature", what terrible disasters would be brought to the eight wastelands of the outer world.
For all life in the eight wastelands of the outer world, it is a horror like the end of the world.
"so far so good."
While Meng Zhou was rejoicing in his heart, he did not hesitate to overwhelm the "light ball" that showed resistance, forcefully penetrated into it, and firmly grasped the "chain" that was about to be released in his hand.
At this point, Meng Zhou thought the accident was over.
But what shocked him on the spot was that just when he thought he had done all this quietly, he would be able to deal with the next wave of catastrophe more calmly.
Above the swarm of golden beetles, the calamity that had already gathered momentum and was about to pour down was suddenly suppressed again.
The size of the calamity clouds in the sky suddenly continued to grow.
"..." Meng Zhou.
After being stunned for a while, Meng Zhou murmured in his heart: "I'm really dizzy!"
He already understood what was going on.
Of course, the calamity will be different with or without his participation!
Such a simple truth, I actually ignored it.
But at this time, Meng Zhou found that he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and resist.
You can't just pull away and leave suddenly right now?!
That is the rhythm that will really kill all the golden-armored spirit insects.
The Heavenly Tribulation will not reduce its power just because of his sudden departure.
Faced with this situation, Meng Zhou could only comfort himself in his heart.
"The stronger the heavenly tribulation, the stronger the strength will be after successfully overcoming the tribulation... The golden-armored spirit insects may suffer greater losses, but as long as they can survive it, their strength will become stronger."
"Moreover, I have more means at my disposal."
Thinking like this, Meng Zhou turned his attention to those "Dew Star Lotus clones" again.
Originally, when the Golden Armored Spirit Insect was going through the tribulation, the Fanlu Star Lotus clone did not dare to intervene directly, for fear of causing a sudden change in the catastrophe.
But now, the situation is different.
Soon, Meng Zhou, who had readjusted his mentality, began to make final preparations.
He first "actively eliminated" those golden-armored spirit insects whose performance was obviously inferior and unlikely to survive the next wave of catastrophe.
The reason is very simple. Instead of letting the heavenly tribulation come to eliminate them, and the essence of the whole body will be reduced to 70% by the tribulation, and only the fragments of the limbs will be used by other golden-armored spirit insects, why not take a step ahead of the tribulation and let them have 10% of the essence of the body.
Become other companions to ascend to higher levels of nutrition?!
Because of this treatment, the originally small number of scarab beetles became much smaller.
Then, these golden-armored spirit insects quietly suspended in the sky, waiting for the arrival of a new wave of catastrophe.
But if a monk who is proficient in the Talisman Array looks at the overall situation, he will find that the seemingly random distribution of golden-armored spirit insects actually hides the profound mysteries of the Talisman Array.
At the same time, the thirty-six Dew Star Lotus clones that were originally far away from each other, as well as the Black Evil Mist Formation that was preparing to resist the final wave, also quietly made new adjustments and changes.
"boom!!"
Finally, a new wave of catastrophe crashed down from the sky.
Hit directly above the swarm of golden beetles.
In an instant, this wave of fierce and ruthless calamity spread into hundreds of golden-armored spirit insects.
The power of the heavenly tribulation has penetrated deep into the bloodline of the golden armored spirit insect.
While causing huge damage to the Golden Armored Spirit Insect, under the stimulation of life and death, the bloodline of the Golden Armored Spirit Insect also showed unprecedented activity, which can also be said to be the instinct of survival.
Among them, there are golden-armored spirit insects with relatively inferior potential in all aspects, and they are gradually showing signs of being unable to bear the burden and about to collapse.
But the golden armored spirit insect did not collapse.
At this moment, the remnant power of the catastrophe was like a raging flood that was about to burst its banks and suddenly found a brand new flood discharge pond.
Outside the Golden Armored Spirit Insect, I saw a large formation formed by thirty-six Dew Star Lotus clone strongholds, and the flowing star power formed an invisible dam.
The power of heavenly tribulation dispersed from the bodies of each golden-armored spirit insect was bound within, surging forward.
This wave of catastrophe strikes has stopped.
But the "catastrophe" of the golden armored spirit insect is not over yet.
When the power of the heavenly tribulation endured by each golden-armored spirit insect gradually becomes smaller, and the bloodline of the golden-armored spirit insect slowly sublimates under such tempering, and its strength slowly increases, it was originally diverted away and was borne by the clones of the Dew Star Lotus.
, and the power of the heavenly calamity that was restrained flowed back.
This makes it clear that this catastrophe has stopped, but the golden armored spirit insect is still being tempered by the blows of this wave of catastrophe.
Finally, thirty-six clones of the Dew Star Lotus returned all the heavenly tribulations, and the power of the heavenly tribulations lingering inside and outside the bodies of each golden-armored spirit insect was finally "extinguished".
Another catastrophe fell from the sky.
Then the third way, the fourth way, the fifth way...
The power of the heavenly tribulation is stronger than the last.
The pressure on the star power array formed by thirty-six clones of the Dew Star Lotus is finally increasing.
Fortunately, during this process, the individual strength of each golden-armored spirit insect and its ability to withstand natural disasters on its own are also improving.
Although the increase was slightly lower than the increase in the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, the dispersion among hundreds of golden-armored spirit insects greatly eased the pressure on the "Star Power Formation".
But even so, when the ninth tribulation of the fifth wave of tribulation came, its power finally exceeded the "star power array" formed by all the golden-armored spirit insects and the thirty-six clones of the Dew Star Lotus.
The limit that can be tolerated.
As a result, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, which had always been firmly restrained by the star power, was finally channeled outward again and dispersed into the Black Evil Mist Formation with the twelve formation flags as the core.
This time, the remnant power of the Heavenly Tribulation that was dispersed into the Black Evil Mist Formation continued to be dispersed to all parts of the world.
Every bit of the remaining power of the Heavenly Tribulation released through the Black Evil Mist Formation will bring about a terrifying celestial phenomenon.
Or there are thunder and lightning across the sky, like thousands of snakes swimming around;
Or the howling wind, or the fire, rain and ice...
It is also mixed with fine sand condensed by the fourth-order evil spirit that is extremely rich and difficult to disperse.
Originally, after withstanding this wave of heavenly tribulations, the golden-armored spirit insect that had experienced 5,945 heavenly tribulations was considered to have completed its merits and successfully overcome the tribulation.
But now, the calamity clouds in the sky have not dispersed, and the calamity is still gathering strength for a new wave of offensive, and it is obvious that it has no intention of stopping.
Taking advantage of this gap, Meng Zhou also acted quickly.
After resisting a total of nine heavenly tribulations in the last wave, those golden-armored spirit insects that performed the most poorly and gradually became a burden to the entire insect swarm were selected.
He also began to prepare for a new round.
…
"boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom!!!"
One after another, the catastrophes with increasing power continued to fall.
When the last sixty-third heavenly tribulation dissipated, the tribulation clouds in the sky gradually dissipated.
When it was at its peak, the black mist formation that covered thousands of miles in radius also gradually dissipated.
Just because the twelve formation flags had turned into powder under the catastrophe.
Also turned into powder, there were thirty-six clones of the Dew Star Lotus.
To be more precise, there are a total of 288 clones of the Star Lotus dispersed in the eight wastelands of the outer world. It took tens of thousands of Green Lotus Sword Marrow accumulated by Meng Zhou over the years, all of which were transformed into
Noodles.
The reason for such "squandering" was that Meng Zhou wanted to save more golden-armored spirit insects from the catastrophe.
Although, it was a pity that Meng Zhou's accumulation over the years blossomed like fireworks.
But Meng Zhou didn't think there was anything wrong with this choice itself.
These Dew Star Lotus clones were "sacrificed" here, but they were actually used on the "blade".
Counting all the eight places to overcome the tribulation, Meng Zhou used all the black mist formations and all the dew star lotus clones to "head-to-head" with the tribulation. He just made the last wave and at least saved more than a hundred golden armored spirit insects from the tribulation.
This last wave of "cleansing".
Just as the calamity clouds in the sky dissipated, an extremely mysterious force seemed to descend from the sky, and then seemed to appear out of thin air, bathing all the golden-armored spirit insects.
Under the infiltration of this mysterious power, the golden-armored spirit insect that had resisted sixty-three heavenly tribulations quickly dissipated the "smoke and fire" that filled its body.
In this process, the limits were broken again and again, and the blood was nourished and sublimated while being strong but lacking in gentleness.
And these are secondary.
The most important thing is that under the infiltration of this mysterious power, Meng Zhou felt that he had touched——
