Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

This could be related to his childhood stay at his uncle’s house.

At that time, he was in his growth phase, but his aunt was very harsh on him. She only gave him a little food every day and made him do all sorts of heavy chores, which suppressed his physical development, thus his short stature.

“Die!”

Qin Niu showed no mercy, directly chopping the body in two.

A large amount of blood flowed out from the corpse.

“You… Why didn’t you keep your word and still kill me?”

The Green Demon appeared immensely furious.

“FImph, you were the one who was not honest from the beginning. If I’m not wrong, even before the Immortal Master had come to kill me, you had already released those Green Demon Bee cultivations. That is to say, you set this trap not as a last resort to save your life after being injured by the Immortal Master, but with a long-standing plan. Plus, you told me that the Blood Pool was an exit, harboring malicious intentions.

If I went in there, I would likely die immediately.

Since you were insincere and ill-intentioned from the start, you can’t blame me for killing you.”

Qin Niu secretly speculated that the Green Demon must now be in some special state.

Normally, if a person’s body dies, they too would die.

The Green Demon’s body had been sealed within this stone statue, not eating or drinking for many years, yet he remained alive, which was surely no simple matter.

From the moment Qin Niu obtained the Green Demon Bee cultivation, he had already been calculated by the Green Demon.

After entering this space, the Green Demon’s intent to kill him never diminished.

Yet this person was even craftier than imagined, extremely good at disguising.

It was understandable; after all, having grown up in such an environment, the Green Demon had to learn to be cruel and selfish, cunning, and sinister. Furthermore, a child grown in hatred inevitably has an extreme character and twisted humanity.

The Green Demon’s view of life, values, and world outlook, were undoubtedly very different from that of ordinary people.

With such a treacherous and sly being, Qin Niu made sure he gathered all the information he needed and naturally would not allow him to live to see another year.

Mercy towards enemies is cruelty to oneself.

After the Green Demon’s body was chopped open, an eye emerged from his chest, with glimpses of green lightning flickering within.

It looked rather eerie.

Qin Niu didn’t care for such things, as he held the Ink Blade in hand. It could spit out Blade Qi, which had strong lethality against demon beasts, evil spirits, ghosts, and the like.

At least dealing with weaker demons and ghosts was not a problem in the slightest.

With a single chop, Blade Qi viciously struck the eye.

“You destroyed my physical body, and we cannot exist under the same sky, 1 will never let you off!”

The voice of the Green Demon was wretched beyond compare, echoing in the space.

“FImph, with that neither-human-nor-ghost appearance of yours? If you dare, come at me.”

Qin Niu had just exterminated the Green Demon’s four avatars and was not afraid of that kind of cold energy.

Fie guessed that the cold energy might be something like a ghost.

Since he did not know much about cultivation yet, he could only make such an irresponsible guess.

The blood in the Blood Pool kept churning, slowly condensing into a human figure.

In the darkness, the dim glow of blood flickered, making it extraordinarily visible. Yet its eyes were two green beams, like mo green ghost fires dancing.

Qin Niu silently prepared himself.

A bug larva unexpectedly appeared after the chest eye was cut open by the Green Demon’s corpse.

It was only the size of a sesame seed, and it flashed with green lightning.

“This is a bee larva!”

Qin Niu’s skill in identifying insects had reached a certain level. Fie had dealt with honey bees, Corpse Bees, bumblebees, Steel-winged Wild Bees, and could recognize at a glance that this was a bug larva.

“Forfeit your life!”

Bellowing in fury, the blood figure from the Blood Pool rushed directly at Qin Niu.

Fie thought it would leap out of the Blood Pool.

Unexpectedly, it merely shot a water arrow towards Qin Niu.

At this moment, a cold energy once again approached Qin Niu silently.

But instead of attacking him, it was going for that bee larva.

“Flaha, with your misdirection tricks, you also want to snatch back the bee larva?”

Qin Niu burst into laughter after seeing through the opponent’s intentions.

The more the Green Demon wanted to retrieve the bee larva, the more important it must be.

And the less likely Qin Niu was to let him get his wish.

Fie chopped at the cold energy with a single slash.

“Ugh!”

The Green Demon let out another painful groan.

It was probably another one of his avatars that had been extinguished by Qin Niu in an instant.

The incoming water arrow was completely ignored by Qin Niu.

With the Diamond Ink Turtle by his side, if such a timid turtle couldn’t handle even a simple water arrow, he was preparing to kill and boil it for turtle soup.

The water arrow, as it neared to within three meters of Qin Niu, immediately changed direction and hit the wall of the cave a few meters away.

Sputter!

Splash!

The blood turned into an arrow, not particularly powerful.

After hitting the rock wall, it scattered on the ground. This blood gave off a sense of extremely sinister evil and danger.

Qin Niu had already collected the bee larva into a small Insect Jar.

Which infuriated the Green Demon into howling wildly.

“Damn it, I must destroy you!

The Green Demon raged as the blood figure in the Blood Pool became uncontrollably erratic, shooting a barrage of blood arrows at Qin Niu.

Unfortunately, in front of the little turtle, such attacks were just like child’s play-

Those blood arrows, once within three meters of Qin Niu, inevitably drifted away.

All of them turned and then struck the rock walls beside him.

After having some fun for a while, under the little turtle’s control, some of the blood arrows turned and shot back towards their origin.

It seemed that its water control skills had become stronger.

Qin Niu checked and found that the Diamond Ink Turtle’s water control ability had indeed advanced to the second order.

“I was originally planning to keep you here longer to serve as a sparring partner for my pet, but now that I’ve got my hands on the Green Demon Bee’s egg, 1 won’t let you remain in the world of the living.”

Qin Niu quickly approached the Blood Pool and fiercely chopped down at the blood figure over ten feet tall.

Critical Chop!

The Blade Qi instantly became several times stronger, ferociously striking the blood figure.

Just one chop was enough to cause it to collapse.

The Green Demon was indeed down on its luck, being perfectly countered by Qin Niu’s Ink Blade.

Its duplicate was useless; the blood figure it condensed couldn’t leave the Blood Pool.

With that chop, it let out a sharp and miserable scream before falling silent.

Flowever, Qin Niu dared not let his guard down.

The Green Demon was incredibly cunning; it wouldn’t die that easily.

What Qin Niu cared about most was the bee egg.

If it truly was a Green Demon Bee’s egg, just hatching it would give him a freakishly strong Green Demon Bee.

Fie could even make it lay eggs and establish his own bee swarm, just like the Ant Queen had.

An egg that the Green Demon valued so highly couldn’t be an ordinary bee egg.

The Blood Pool slowly returned to calm.

The entire space became deathly still.

Qin Niu was in no hurry to leave because he was certain the Green Demon was not yet dead.

In this situation, any mistake could allow the Green Demon to strike again, seizing the chance to take his life.

“Green Demon, you’ve nurtured this bee egg inside your body; it must be very important to you, huh? Tsk tsk, I’ve never seen such an egg that flashes with green sparks before. Such a high-grade bee egg; if 1 were to form a contract with it, it would certainly be a beautiful thing in this world.”

Qin Niu deliberately provoked the Green Demon with his words.

Still no response.

Fie wasn’t in a rush, wielding the Ink Blade in his hand, which burst forth with a brilliant Blade Qi.

Using the bright light emitted by the Blade Qi, he then explored the entire space.

Just as the Green Demon had said, there were no other exits.

The opening that had sucked him in was above his head, about twenty feet off the ground.

There was a peculiar vortex there, exerting a strong force, preventing the water from escaping down.

One had to marvel at nature’s wonders, capable of creating such extraordinary spectacles.

To get out, it seemed piercing through that vortex might be the way to leave.

But it wasn’t going to be easy.

Furthermore, right below the vortex was the Blood Pool; if he fell in, he would likely be playing right into the Green Demon’s hands.

I’ve got no choice but to take the risk.”

After surveying the entire space, Qin Niu decided to risk escaping through the vortex.

It was a pity he had only come in wearing a pair of shorts, carrying two Insect Jars, and nothing else.

If he had a Contractual Talisman with him, he might’ve been able to form a contract with the bee egg on the spot and further provoke the Green Demon.

The Green Demon was obviously feigning death and hiding within the Blood Pool, unwilling to come out.

For Qin Niu to enter the Blood Pool would be a death wish.

The blood within the Blood Pool felt extremely dangerous, obviously not something benign.

Under such circumstances, the only way out was to escape through the same spot where he was sucked in.

Fie ran forward with borrowed momentum and, upon reaching the edge of the Blood Pool, leapt powerfully into the air.

Misty Rain Traceless Step was unleashed, his figure soaring into the sky.

Below the vortex, he swung his blade in a chop.

Fie hoped to carve out a path, then make his escape.

Unfortunately, he failed.

Flis body fell downward.

At this moment, without any reaction, he’d likely drop directly into the Blood Pool.

A thought flickered in his mind; it might be better to go along with the trick.

■Struggling desperately,’ his body continued to fall toward the Blood Pool.

Just as his body was about to touch the surface, about three feet above the Blood Pool, the blood water suddenly revealed a ghastly face, opening a gaping maw.

“Fleh heh, I knew you were playing dead, you old demon.”

Qin Niu had been waiting for this moment.

The Ink Blade in his hand chopped down mercilessly.

The Slash Martial Skill activated with an Explosive Slash Effect.

The Ink Blade had now evolved a spirit, with a Talisman containing universal laws engraved within the blade itself.

Perhaps calling it a Talisman of the Great Dao was a bit of an exaggeration.

At the very least, it was a Talisman that aligned with the universal laws, one that the Ink Blade had evolved on its own.

Qin Niu’s cultivation had also reached the Innate Realm, and using the blade to execute Slash Martial Skills was like adding wings to a tiger.

Not every chop would produce an Explosive Slash Effect, but at least three out of ten would.

Bang!

The terrifying Blade Qi struck the bloody face within the Blood Pool, easily Rupturing it in two.

Then, continuing with an unyielding force, it Ruptured the entire Blood Pool’s water.

“Aah…”

From the Blood Pool came the Green Demon’s screams of fear and pain.

That chop had cost the Green Demon dearly.

On the contrary, the previous chop that had dished the blood-derived humanoid monster hadn’t likely hurt the Green Demon much.

Or at least, not seriously.

Even the cunning Green Demon hadn’t anticipated the last chop.

It was indeed a huge risk for Qin Niu.

Using the force of the chop, he twisted his body and successfully stood on the edge of the Blood Pool.

I’ll see if you’re really dead..
