From deep within the dark cave came the sounds of metal colliding and shattering. These sounds gradually subsided with the muffled thud of many heavy objects falling to the ground. Then a flash of fire suddenly appeared, illuminating the surrounding scene.

This is a very wide cave. There are traces of cutting, digging, and fighting on the edges of the cave and the passages around it. Inside the cave are piled up the corpses of more than a dozen giant ants, with 10 monks standing around. These dead ants are about seven or eight meters long, with huge mouthparts, and their bodies emit a silvery metallic luster. Several monks are pulling weapons from their corpses.

One of the middle-aged men in gray-brown clothes drew out a long sword and shook off the blood of the giant ants on it. He looked at the young monk who was emitting light from behind with an unhappy expression.

"Xu Liang, put out the fire for me. Our mission for today has been completed. There is no need to seduce them anymore. The gold-eating ants are extremely hard and difficult to deal with. Don't let the fire light discover them again and cause more trouble."

The middle-aged man spoke in a serious tone, and then used his storage ring to collect the giant ant's corpse. The young monk who was named by him smiled and dispersed the fireball in his hand and walked to the middle-aged man.

"Uncle, what was the result of the last battle between the two masters and the Ant King?"

Xu Liang's question attracted the attention of the surrounding monks. They also wanted to know the outcome of the battle a few days ago that almost destroyed half of Tianyuan Star.

Xuzhou glared at his nephew, thinking that he couldn't fight, it would be hard to explain to the family if he got injured. Besides, after everyone went back today, the real person would announce the result of the battle and the future code of conduct. There was no point in saying it now, so he spoke.

"It was in vain. Although the two masters were able to gain the upper hand, the ant king's body was extremely hard and could not hurt him at all. Of course, the ant king could not hurt the two masters either. In the end, seeing that Tianyuan Star was severely damaged, the two sides stopped fighting."

Xuzhou said this calmly, with some regret in his tone, but more of relief. Fortunately, both sides were rational enough. If Tianyuan Star was destroyed, Zhenren and the Ant King might be fine, but they would definitely not survive.

"Okay, let's hurry back."

Xuzhou looked at the monks around him, gave an order, and then walked out first. The people behind him hurriedly followed, and the group of people quickly left in the darkness.

……

Several thousand meters underground on Tianyuan Star, a huge palace made entirely of silver-white metal suddenly shook violently, causing the ground above to shake violently. After a while, the vibration slowly subsided.

"Please calm down, King!"

Inside the palace, hundreds of giant ants, each more than ten meters tall, knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly, shaking their antennae with a hint of fear, not daring to look up.

Sitting on the throne right in front of the palace was a gigantic creature. Its huge body almost covered the entire palace. Its appearance could not be seen clearly, but one could feel the endless pressure and violent power coming from it. It seemed that it could destroy everything with just a roar.

"Useless! A bunch of useless! In the past three months, nearly a hundred people have died every day, but I can't kill a single enemy. How can I calm down?"

The giant creature on the throne was extremely angry, and its voice rolled out like thunder, causing the hundreds of giant ants kneeling below to tremble violently. An extremely terrifying pressure came from the throne, which even broke the bones of these hundreds of giant ants and caused blood to flow.

"King, those enemies are really hard to kill. Many of our tribesmen cut open the enemy's bodies, but they recovered in a few breaths and started to fight back immediately, and..."

The giant ant lying in the front did not continue speaking. During the past three months, members of the tribe had died every day, and not only had they failed to kill the enemy, they had also lost a large amount of spiritual mines and spiritual veins. Even the king's actions had not brought any news of victory.

The Ant King listened to these words, looked at his tribesmen trembling below, recalled the battle of the previous few days, took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and gave an order.

"Today we will start to reduce the scope of mining spiritual veins and ores. Gather together for defense, try to avoid fighting, and speed up the process of refining gold essence. I will make plans after my strength improves. Now, everyone go down."

After hearing the order from the Ant King, all the giant ants began to quickly leave the hall. Looking at their leaving figures, the Ant King couldn't help but fall into memories as he thought about those humans.

It was Gold-Eating that was born on this planet more than two hundred years ago. At that time, there was no life around it, only a broken fragment of a magic weapon. In order to survive, it began to devour the fragment according to the inherited memory, and slowly began to grow, and began to differentiate its flesh and blood to reproduce offspring. It had a smooth journey until now when it met the immortal cultivators in the inherited memory.

"Three years. Another three years. When I have enough golden essence, I can improve my physical body and strength and reach the golden body. Then I can definitely kill those two immortal cultivators."

Thinking of this, the Gold-Eating Ant took out a piece of golden essence from the left side of the palace, swallowed it in one gulp and began to practice. These golden essences were slowly refined step by step after the Gold-Eating Ant swallowed some special minerals. It would be very helpful for it to cultivate a golden body.

……

Tens of thousands of kilometers away from the palace there is a huge underground cave, which is covered and protected by three layers of formations. Inside the cave is the new base of the monks of Kaiyang Star. The previous base had been destroyed by the aftermath of the war, and with frequent sandstorms on the surface, they simply moved underground.

There are many excavated caves in the karst cave, which can be regarded as temporary residences for the monks. At this time, Hou Guan and Zi Tong stood side by side in the center of the cave, looking at the Kaiyang Star monks gathered in front of them, and then Hou Guan stepped forward and spoke.

"I know you are very concerned about the outcome of the battle a few days ago. To be frank, there is no winner. Yesterday, I informed you of the Ant King's situation through the Trial Tower."

"Daozi issued two orders. One: With the current base as the center, under the protection of the real person, we will mine spiritual veins, ores, and spiritual objects. We will try our best to avoid fighting with the ant tribe and wait for the support of Xuantian Sect."

"Second: Be prepared for the worst. If the Ant King suddenly breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage within a year and cannot be resisted, then quickly open the portal and escape to the universe. With the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, it will not be a problem for us to survive in the vacuum. Daozi will find a way to rescue us by then. Do you understand Daozi's orders?"

Hou Guan spoke word by word and glanced at all the monks.

"Understood!"

All the monks from Kaiyang Star agreed in unison with serious expressions. Hou Guan nodded with satisfaction and asked the monks to disperse.

In the future, because of the orders of Lin Ji and the Ant King, except for the conflicts in the first few days, the two tribes will tacitly use the huge pit created by the battle as the boundary, and they will not interfere with each other and live in unusual harmony.
