transformed into a swirling cloud of crimson and black smoke that drifted towards Lu Xiaotien.“If your main bodies were here, the two of you together would be enough to force me to retreat. But there...The corrupted water lion ghost's advance speed, along with Yu Zhong and the Skeleton General's two consciousnesses realizing the crisis and unleashing their full power, exceeded Su Qing's expectations. A killing intent flashed in Su Qing's eyes, the two deputy ant nest were most likely going to be lost.

In that case, it's not a bad idea to use these two ant nests as bait, luring the enemy deeper and deeper.

Will it be a matter of relentlessly devouring the enemy's foul Water Lion Demons at all costs, or will it be about containing them and seeking another avenue for breakthrough

Although she hasn't been pushed to the brink yet, Su Qing still has room for consideration. The other party's attack was swift and powerful, and it takes time for Su Qing to gather her forces.

Yu Zhong, the Skeleton Warrior, unleashed his full power. In the deeper recesses of the void, hordes of Corpse Cranes and ghostly ravens shrieked as they swooped in. The Corpse Crane's breath of icy death spread across the heavens,

On the other side, were the ghostly flames spewed by the crows, shimmering and casting this vast battlefield into two vastly different areas.

>In the mountains and rivers of distant places, there were scattered skeletons everywhere. After their fall, the ghostly lion shadows lay on the ground, making the ground muddy. The ghost fire spit out by the ravens ignited the ghost cycad trees, the gloomy vines and many other ghost plants had been burning for years until now. Over these years of war, most areas of Ghosthion Mountain have become devastated. A significant portion of this region has become a barren land for the Ghost race.

However, within tens of thousands of miles above the Bone Lion Yin Mountain, where the core region of ghostly qi gathered, as long as war ceased, it would recover as before in just a few years. The ghostly qi would remain as thick as ever. For Yu Zhong, the Skeleton Warrior, this was completely acceptable to wait for. As for Su Qing and Luo Qian, they had originally valued that listening to the Ghost Spring even more.

By this time, both sides had no room to retreat, and were suffering heavy losses.

Only by relying on the strength of the Bone Lion Yin Mountain could they possibly recover, and even increase their power. Once defeated, the consequences would be disastrous. At best, they'd become wandering spirits. At worst, other tribes would likely take advantage of their weakness and pillage them.

The gigantic ant ball rolled through the void, and in its movement it split open. A swarm of Void-Devouring Ants poured out, along with three-headed ghost ants. These three-headed ants looked extremely deformed, their heads taking up three-quarters of their bodies, looking incredibly disproportioned. Their bodies were also constantly expanding and contracting.

"Bad! Exploding Ghost Ants!" Yu Zhong cried out, instantly understanding Su Qing's plan. These Exploding Ghost Ants were a small branch developed from the Void-Eating Ghost Ants. Exploding Ghost Ants weren't originally fast, but under the cover of these ant balls, they suddenly emerged, already breaking into the ranks of the Corrupted Water Lion Ghost Army. The destruction caused by their explosions was unimaginable.

But at this point, the corrupt water lion ghost had already been unleashed completely, and it was impossible to take it back. Besides, seeing the vast swarm of ants blanketing the ground from emptiness to reality, Yu Zhong didn't think Su Qing would give him a chance to retreat either.

Boom boom boom... These Exploding Hell Ants exploded one after another, along with the surrounding Void-Eater Ants, were directly engulfed in the blast.

...transformed into black and grey smoke in the explosion and disappeared.

The entire airspace trembled under the force of this explosion. The Corrupted Water Lion Demon was caught in it, letting out agonizing cries. Though it lasted a little longer than the Void-Devouring Ants that were also swept up, it met the same fate, dissolving into a paste.

“Kill!” Yu Zhong and the Skeleton Warrior saw that the attack of the Corrupted Water Lion Ghost had also been thwarted. They knew this might be the last chance to defeat the swarm of ants, so they gritted their teeth and poured all their strength into it.

In the void, neither the Corpse Crane's icy breath nor the Ghost Raven's hellfire could completely eradicate the Void Ants. Though countless ants would be frozen or incinerated, a swarm of them could envelop and devour both Corpse Cranes and Ghost Ravens, leaving only their skeletal remains to plummet from the void.

Su Qing would only personally intervene to resolve a crisis when the situation was extremely dangerous. For the most part, she remained within the main nest.

At this time, for the entire colony of Void Devourer Ants, it was undoubtedly the most dangerous moment.

Yu Zhong and the Skeleton Warrior, these two ghostly beings unleashed their full power, greatly increasing the pressure on the entire ant colony. Although the onslaught of the Foul Water Lion Ghost had been contained, the overall battlefield situation hadn't changed much for the Void Devourer Ant Colony either.

At this moment, Yu Zhong and the Skeleton Warrior charged forward with incredible speed, their target clear: these main and sub-ant nests. Luo Qian's assault on the Heavenly Immortal level ghost had reached its final stage. If he chose to retreat now, these two might directly attack the location of Di Ting Ghost Spring, disrupting Luo Qian's ascension.

Therefore, at this time, there was not much room for Su Qing to retreat.

As the situation changed, Su Qing's stunning face turned cold, and with a slight movement of her divine sense, the queen's nest began to move towards the front line. Feeling the danger the queen's nest was in, the entire Void Devouring Ant swarm went into a frenzy at this moment.

The intensity of the conflict between the two sides escalated to its highest point in years, within a very short period of time.

Yu Zhong and the Skeleton General, each leading their respective ghost armies, charged forward. Despite the massive ant swarm slowing them down, they remained steadfast in their advance. At this moment, Yu Zhong and the Skeleton General were like a giant crab with its pincers spread wide, clamping down on Su Qing from both sides. Even the frenzied onslaught of ants couldn't fully halt their advance.

Even with the ants from the auxiliary ant nest at their command, it was still unlikely that they could defeat the two old ghosts before them. Su Qing knew she had to take action herself once again.

When Yu Zhong was about to make his move, the Skeleton General had approached within hundreds of miles. This distance was already the most dangerous zone for both sides. Just as Yu Zhong was about to act, the Skeleton General wondered why Su Qing remained so still. From afar, two deputy ant nests melted like snowballs under a blazing inferno, turning into beams of black light that surged towards them at astonishing speed. These black lights didn't seem to possess much killing power; they merely enveloped the area within hundreds of miles, forming a massive barrier.

“You’ve destroyed the ant colony! Are you mad, Queen!” Yu Zhong and the Skeleton Warrior were taken aback. Su Qing's reckless and uncalculated actions were far beyond their expectations.

The Void Devouring Ant Colony is absolutely loyal to their queen, especially since Su Qing led the entire colony to the Ghost Realm and cultivated it to its current size and strength. Su Qing holds supreme authority over the entire colony. However, the ant nest is where all ants live and develop their colony.

Even if Su Qing were a queen ant, such self-destructive behavior would inevitably cause resentment from the ant colony to some extent. If this resentment reached a certain level, Su Qing's strength might temporarily decrease or she could be severely injured, potentially leading to backlash from the ant colony and being replaced by another powerful ghost ant who harbors rebellious intentions.
