Chapter 1168: Rainbow Lotus Flowers Spotted coral polyps were present within the bone powder and could change into bone insects at any moment to attack targets in mid-air. Thus, the bone lotus flower’s attack range extended past land attacks. Any area covered by the bone powder mist would become part of Silver Corona’s range of attack. He also would not have to worry about Hermit’s Dead Servant. All alien insects had weak souls, and the alien insects that came from a Class 1 dimensional rift were especially feeble. It would be easy to turn them into the first hermit dead servants. Lin Yuan estimated that the process would take at least a week. As the bone lotus flowers consumed more souls, Hermit’s Dead Servant would be strengthened. This was the most important barrier for the restricted area that Lin Yuan wanted to create. He looked forward to seeing the hermit dead servants in a week’s time. Since the hermit dead servants could not be nurtured quickly, Lin Yuan decided to turn his attention to something else. At that moment, a loud insect cry sounded out, and an enormous armored insect with spikes protruding from its body squeezed out of the dimensional rift and landed in the sea of bone lotus flowers. Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up when he saw the black spiky insect. Even without using True Data, he recognized it as the Class 3 Spiky Beetle. There had only been one Spiky Beetle amongst the three Class 3 alien insects that had appeared at Millstone Town. However, the Spiky Beetle at Millstone Town had been about three meters long and three meters wide, while this Spiky Beetle was three meters long but only about two meters wide. As such, this Spiky Beetle was much weaker than the Spiky Beetle that had appeared at Millstone Town. This was not surprising as the dimensional rift at Millstone Town had been a pinnacle Class 1 dimensional rift while this one was only a low Class 1 dimensional rift. Lin Yuan was in no rush to kill the Spiky Beetle, and he allowed it to struggle amongst the bone lotus flowers. He wanted to use the Spiky Beetle to test the recovery abilities of the bone lotus flowers. Given that he wanted to build the restricted area based on the bone lotus flowers, it was necessary to find out how strong their recovery abilities were. If their ability to recover was weak, brute force would easily destroy them. He did not test the strength of the bone lotus flowers yet because he did not have a method of accurate testing. As the bone lotus flowers absorbed more and more dimensional lifeform souls, Silver Corona would evolve, and the flowers’ composition ability would become stronger. Moreover, the bone insects would also become increasingly powerful as they consumed more lifeforce. If they consumed enough lifeforce, it was even possible for them to become more powerful than the bone lotus flowers. These almost unnoticeably small bone insects had endless potential. The Spiky Beetle flailed about amongst the bone lotus flowers and soon damaged many of the bone lotus flowers. Silver Corona was only Bronze I/Normal and had not consumed many alien insects. As elite as its bloodline was, it was difficult for it to overcome the Class 3 Spiky Beetle. Silver Corona saw that Lin Yuan did not seem to have any intention of helping it and blinked sadly at him. Lin Yuan said gently, “Silver Corona, do your best. If you really can’t handle the situation, I’ll tell the Source Sand to step in and kill the Spiky Beetle. You’ll be able to absorb the Spiky Beetle’s soul then.” Silver Corona realized that Lin Yuan wanted to test its strength, and it could tell that Lin Yuan did not think that it could defeat the Spiky Beetle. Lin Yuan’s underestimation triggered its competitive spirit. The Spiky Beetle had the highest defensive ability amongst all the Class 3 alien insects. It relied on physical strength and charged at targets with its spikes. Normally, Silver Corona would not have dared to stand up to the Spiky Beetle. However, many alien insects were pouring out of the dimensional rift, and their deaths gave Silver Corona more power. As such, Silver Corona decided to give it a shot. Its pupil-less silver eyes lit up as a winning strategy entered its mind. Silver Corona circulated its spiritual power, and its crown once again lit up with rainbow light. Numerous rainbow lotus flowers bloomed at its feet. Silver Corona flew down until its feet reached the same height as the bone lotus flowers. Shortly after, all the bone lotus flowers started to move. The Spiky Beetle had destroyed at least 100 square feet of bone lotus flowers. Just as the Spiky Beetle was about to destroy more bone lotus flowers, rainbow lotus flowers grew at its feet. The rainbow lotus flowers extended and wrapped around the Spiky Beetle’s black spikes. The rainbow lotus flowers did not take long to entrap and incapacitate the Spiky Beetle completely. Lin Yuan was stunned. He knew that the rainbow lotus flowers did not come from one of Silver Corona’s abilities. The rainbow lotus flowers had grown at Silver Corona’s feet when the crystallized coral crown had appeared on its head during its transformation into a fairy source-type lifeform. As such, it was likely that the rainbow lotus flowers were part of Silver Corona’s innate abilities. Now that Silver Corona had halted the Spiky Beetle’s movements, it was fighting on equal ground. Lin Yuan could not help but gasp in amazement at the power of a six-winged fairy. Red Thorn’s bloodline was even more elite than Silver Corona, so he wondered what level of power Red Thorn would display when it entered battle mode. However, Silver Corona’s grade was much lower than the Spiky Beetle’s, and the discrepancy in power eventually became apparent. At first, the Spiky Beetle was completely restrained by the rainbow lotus flowers. But now, the Spiky Beetle could move slightly. Evidently, it would soon break away from the restraints that Silver Corona had exerted all its effort into creating.
