Ultimate Form, also known as Legion Level, signifies the ability to confront an entire legion head-on. However, these Insect Beasts are all comparable to the peak Ultimate Evolution Bodies.
Moreover, the giant beasts have already been "trimmed" by Xiar, and they are not in their complete forms, having lost more than half of their power.
This situation finally grants these Insect Beasts a fighting chance.
Yet, the battle remains incredibly difficult, with Insect Beasts being blown apart or severely injured from time to time.
The Hundred-Meter Giant Tree, no matter how weak, cannot be underestimated; its fists, several meters in diameter, are already larger than most Insect Beasts, capable of obliterating all Insect Beasts on the field with sheer strength!
"This is terrible..." Onboard the Leviathan, Erin watched the scenes of Insect Beasts being blasted apart on the screen, unable to bear it.
As a Spirit Master, and after spending time with these creatures, she had come to see these grotesque bugs as endearing as cats or dogs.
After all, these bugs would often try to please her and act cute when they saw her. Although it felt slightly out of place at first, she eventually got used to it.
Now, seeing so many bugs being killed truly unsettled her.
"It's alright; it's within expectations. We can finally break through their defenses. We should be able to take down this BSS," Xiar responded without much reaction, instead smiling as he added, "By the way, what do you think about turning this into a game for wealthy Spirit Masters?"
"You must be planning to open this combat mode after the competition ends, allowing people to play as long as they pay. But a single Second-Grade Insect Beast costs 500 to 1,000 Source Points. Would anyone really be willing to spend that much?" Warner expressed some doubt.
"It seems you've underestimated their spending power and their pursuit of thrills," Xiar replied with a mysterious smile.
On Aqua Star, ordinary people cannot even begin to imagine the lives of the wealthy. Luxurious cars and yachts are just the tip of the iceberg; their craving for excitement has led them to dismiss ordinary forms of entertainment.
This has given rise to various underground industries, such as illegal fighting, drug gambling, and hunting lions and tigers—completely stepping outside legal boundaries in search of thrills.
If they were to learn that they could personally experience battles as Insect Beasts, they would undoubtedly spare no expense to purchase that opportunity!
Warner nodded and said, "We can try to list the related services on the Magic Network Mall; there should be people willing to purchase them."
"Wow, the progress is speeding up. The monsters have already been wiped out and are now in their last health phase," Xiar remarked, staring at the display screen, slightly surprised by the scene below.
"Theoretically, a single Holy Crystal can elevate a First Level Insect Beast to Secondary level, and ten can promote it from Secondary to Third Rank. However, this is under the most perfect experimental conditions, which are hard to achieve. Therefore, we need to consume several times or even dozens of times more Crystal Bugs. The special energy absorbed will not disappear; it should gradually awaken as the battle continues," Warner explained.

Below, after losing over two hundred Insect Beasts, the giant tree was covered in wounds, with its crown trunk riddled with holes from being gnawed by the ferocious Insect Beasts.
Its attacks grew weaker and weaker; what once were unavoidable massive fists now moved so slowly that they could hardly hit any Insect Beasts.
Only the elusive roots and a few remaining Pine Cones instilled a slight fear in the Insect Beasts.
But ultimately, it was just a slight fear; the Insect Beasts relentlessly surrounded it and launched their attacks. Their sharp claws pierced into the wounds on the trunk, stripping away chunks of bark and causing large amounts of pink liquid to flow out, further weakening the giant tree's vitality.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
The Insect Beasts emitted sharp screeches as they frantically dodged the giant tree's final Fluff Bomb attack.
Thunderous sounds erupted intermittently, resembling a funeral salute for the giant tree, signaling its impending doom!
Boom!
All remaining Pine Cones exploded, one of which was an even larger golden Pine Cone. Its explosive power covered an area of over fifty meters, instantly killing three Insect Beasts that failed to evade in time.
With the Pine Cone offensive completely extinguished, all that remained for the Insect Beasts was to avoid being hit by the fists or attacked by the underground roots. With their extraordinary Agility, they could easily dodge any incoming threats.
The Insect Beasts launched wave after wave of attacks, appearing completely unhurried.
After three hours of intense assault, the giant tree remained in a constant state of battle. Its formidable physique could not recover under such circumstances, having long since exhausted its last reserves of resistance, leaving it to passively endure the onslaught.
Seeing that the giant tree's counterattacks had weakened to the point of being negligible, the Insect Beasts finally revealed their ferocious side. All of them pounced, eager to claim the final blow.
The Third Round Competition was no virtual game like Aqua Star; only one contestant could earn points from the giant tree!
The rules were clear: points would determine who advanced to the Top One Hundred and into the Fourth Round. For those who made it to the Fourth Round, points could be exchanged for various treasures that could enhance their abilities, potentially including the coveted Crystal Bug!
Under the full-on assault from the Insect Beasts, the giant tree resembled a target mercilessly ravaged, quickly torn apart by a swarm of vicious insects.
Even more astonishingly, some discovered that absorbing the giant tree's blood seemed to enhance their strength!
As a result, one by one, the insects transformed into locusts, greedily devouring the giant tree's pink blood along with its bark and leaves!
Boom!
The giant tree's two massive limbs came crashing down, smashing another Insect Beast. However, the trunk could no longer withstand such force and snapped in half.
Crash!
The upper half of the hundred-meter giant tree fell with a thunderous crash, crushing two unfortunate Insect Beasts beneath it.
Yet, true to its nature as an Ultimate Plant Monster, even after being split in two, its roots still possessed formidable power, inflicting significant damage on the Insect Beasts.
Unfortunately, this was merely a death struggle; over a thousand remaining Insect Beasts completely dismembered and shredded it.
"Who got the final blow!"
Once the giant tree had completely ceased its struggle, a group of contestants warily watched each other. With the great enemy eliminated, the next phase was a free-for-all among them.
Now everyone wanted to know who had landed the final hit!
Boom!
A fireball crashed into a Black Insect Beast, and soon the contestants learned through the Magic Web Forum that this Black Insect Beast was indeed the one who had secured the final blow, instantly becoming the top scorer.
Unfortunately, this was not a moment of glory but rather a disaster. In the next instant, the Black Insect Beast was overwhelmed by various attacks and was killed in an instant!
Half of its points transferred to another contestant, but before they could figure out who it was, a group of monsters suddenly appeared from the north.
Crack!
Brilliant Purple Lightning descended, turning several surrounding Insect Beasts into charred remains!
These monsters were as massive as Rhinoceroses, but they had six legs covered in serrated blades, with a purple horn atop their heads and their bodies cloaked in Amethyst-like scales.
At that moment, their purple horns still flickered with violet electricity, clearly indicating that the previous lightning had been unleashed by them!
