(TL/N: I dropped a new fanfic (Soul Land), give it a read ☺️)
Therefore, when Luo Fan read the original work, he had always been very curious.
How exactly did Hu yan Bo manage to seal a Zerg Brood Queen?
One had to know that he was merely an Immortal who barely reached Marquis rank.
At most, he only had a Marquis-level Immortal slave.
Yet with that level of strength, sealing a Zerg Brood Queen should still have been extremely difficult.
After all, sealing was several levels harder than killing.
If the two sides were equal in strength, sealing the opponent was basically impossible.
To seal an enemy, one needed overwhelming superiority.
On the extraterritorial battlefield, everyone knew this.
They would rather self-destruct than be sealed or beaten into slumber.
Zerg Brood Queens, in particular, understood this principle deeply.
After all, each of them was a master of the soul and liked to enslave experts of other races.
Because of this, Zerg Brood Queens were extremely difficult to seal.
Moreover, because the number of Zerg Brood Queens was very small,
even if one self-destructed and died, there was a high chance of being revived.
Within the Zerg race, every single Brood Queen was treated with extreme importance.
So logically speaking, Hu yan Bo did not seem like someone capable of sealing a Zerg Brood Queen.
Hu yan Bo looked very strong in the early stages.
But in reality, on the extraterritorial battlefield, he was just an ordinary existence.
There were countless Immortals of this level on the battlefield.
Now, after finishing reviewing Irina's memories, Luo Fan finally understood why she had been sealed.
It was because before encountering Hu yan Bo, Irina had run into a lower-tier King-level expert.
In order to escape, Irina directly left behind the vast majority of her Zerg warriors to cover her retreat.
A large number of World Master-level Zerg warriors self-destructed to protect Irina's escape.
Even so, Irina was still gravely injured.
To hinder that King-level expert, she had even launched a soul attack against him to buy time.
However, the opponent was not weak in soul defense either, causing Irina to suffer backlash.
Although she ultimately escaped, her soul was severely injured.
Just as she was preparing to find a place to recuperate, she encountered Hu yan Bo during her flight.
Most of Irina's wealth had been used to purchase materials to nurture Zerg warriors.
As a result, her spacecraft was merely a relatively powerful E9-grade Mechanical Race ship.
In the end, she was directly caught up to by Huyan Bo.
With her soul already injured and then attacked again by Hu yan Bo's soul techniques,
Irina was ultimately sealed.
This was also why there were not even a few Zerg warriors inside her internal world.
Fortunately, Hu yan Bo did not possess a suitable secret art.
So he could only temporarily seal Irina and wait until he obtained an appropriate secret art before enslaving her.
One had to know that a sealed Zerg Mother Nest, even at the World Master level, was extremely valuable.
It was something that even King-level Immortals would covet.
As long as sufficient resources were provided, a World Master-level Brood Queen could threaten a King-level Immortal.
This could be seen clearly in the original work, which demonstrated the terrifying power of the Zerg swarm tactic.
With only a few million Hunyuan Units worth of Zerg corpses,
the Zerg warriors nurtured from them could, through combined attacks, threaten a King-level Immortal.
One had to know that even Marquis-level Immortals usually possessed at least tens of millions of Hunyuan Units in assets, let alone Kings.
With just a small amount of resources, one could gain an additional powerful helper. Who would not want that?
Therefore, enslaveable Zerg Brood Queens were extremely precious.
One had to know that Immortal-level Zerg Brood Queens that could be enslaved were items worthy of being placed in the Human Race Treasury.
They required Heavy Treasure Points to exchange.
Although World Master-level ones were not as valuable as Immortal-level ones,
if sent to auction, they would still be priced in the billions or even tens of billions.
It could even be higher.
So Hu yan Bo could truly be said to have been blessed by heaven-defying luck.
After finishing absorbing Irina's memories, Luo Fan directly woke her up.
Soon, Irina, who had been sleeping within the mother nest, slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened them, a trace of helplessness flashed in her gaze.
She already knew that she had been enslaved.
Yet she could not muster even the slightest hatred.
On the contrary, deep in her heart, she even felt a sense of relief and joy.
She was glad that she had become Luo Fan's slave.
This was the domineering nature of enslavement secret arts in this world.
"Come out."
Luo Fan's voice sounded directly within the depths of her soul.
Whoosh.
Like a gust of wind, that delicate figure flew out from one of the venom-filled pits of the mother nest and gently landed on the grassland.
Those butterfly-like wings lightly fluttered in the breeze.
A pair of captivating azure eyes gazed affectionately at Luo Fan.
As if Luo Fan were the one she loved and depended on most.
A faint mist naturally spread across her face, rendering her features indistinct.
"Master."
Irina slightly bent forward in a bow, her soft voice seeming to seep into one's heart.
Luo Fan spoke directly.
"Irina, I will provide you with sufficient resources. You are to nurture a large number of Zerg warriors as soon as possible."
"After you have nurtured enough Zerg warriors, I will provide you with resources to help you break through to Immortal."
Upon hearing this, Irina's eyes instantly lit up.
For a Zerg Brood Queen, nurturing Zerg warriors was itself an excellent form of cultivation.
So Luo Fan providing resources for her to nurture Zerg warriors already delighted her greatly.
Now, Luo Fan was not only providing resources for nurturing warriors,
but also promising to supply resources to help her break through to Immortal as soon as possible.
Irina felt even more joy in her heart.
Luo Fan waved his hand.
In the next moment, a vast amount of resources appeared before the two of them.
There were large quantities of Zerg corpses, certain special fruits, and some special crystals.
These were all evolution resources rewarded by the system after Luo Fan obtained Irina.
All of the Zerg corpses were Immortal-level, numbering roughly several million.
These were for Irina to use in nurturing Zerg warriors.
Because he possessed Irina's memories,
Luo Fan knew that these Zerg warrior corpses were at least enough for her to nurture over a hundred million World Master-level Zerg King warriors.
Zerg King warriors were the most powerful Zerg warriors.
There were two ways to nurture such Zerg Kings.
The first was to nurture a large number of Zerg warriors and let them slaughter and devour one another, essentially raising them through survival of the fittest.
This method saved resources but consumed a great deal of time.
The second was direct nurturing.
Direct nurturing required more than a hundred times the resources of ordinary Zerg warriors.
Irina could control up to one million Zerg warriors.
If one million Zerg Kings launched a combined attack, even a King-level expert could potentially fall.
Those special fruits were used to strengthen Irina's main body.
These special fruits were all extremely precious treasures.
They could raise Irina's genetic level to the cosmic limit.
At the same time, they could enhance her soul and physical body.
Although Zerg Brood Queens possessed extremely powerful souls,
their physical bodies were extremely fragile.
They were even far more fragile than human bodies of the same realm.
These fruits could make up for Irina's lack of physical strength,
eliminating one of her weaknesses.
Even Luo Fan felt envious when looking at those fruits.
One had to know that these were treasures capable of increasing genetic level.
If they were not exclusively effective only on Irina, would Luo Fan really leave them to her?
As for those crystals, they were used to expand the Zerg Mother Nest.
The Zerg Mother Nest was the Brood Queen's companion treasure and the tool she used to nurture Zerg warriors.
If the mother nest became larger and stronger, the benefits to the Zerg Brood Queen would be enormous.
First, a powerful mother nest could even be used as a palace-type heavy treasure, or even a palace-type supreme treasure.
Second, a stronger and larger mother nest could nurture Zerg warriors and kings with greater strength and larger bodies.
After breaking through to Immortal, the size of the divine body was extremely important.
If the nurtured Zerg warriors and kings possessed sufficiently large divine bodies, it would greatly enhance the Brood Queen's strength.
The remaining items were several manuals.
These manuals were the most suitable ones for Zerg Brood Queens.
After obtaining them and memorizing their contents, Luo Fan had directly destroyed them all.
Their contents absolutely could not be obtained by other Zerg Brood Queens.
Those secret arts were simply too terrifying.
One of them allowed a Brood Queen to control Zerg warriors with far greater precision.
Under normal circumstances, a Zerg Brood Queen could only precisely control ten thousand Zerg warriors.
This was because they themselves only possessed ten thousand soul origins.
The more Zerg warriors they controlled, the cruder their attacks became.
Once the number reached one million Zerg warriors, they could only be directed to attack a single target.
This was the limit of a Zerg Brood Queen.
However, with this secret art, a Zerg Brood Queen could precisely control up to one million Zerg warriors.
At that point, the combat power those one million Zerg warriors could unleash would increase by at least tenfold.
This manual was of immense importance to the Zerg race.
Once obtained, it could directly elevate the overall strength of the entire Zerg race.
Therefore, after memorizing it, Luo Fan destroyed it immediately.
Fortunately, he had viewed it inside a World Ring.
After destroying it, he also destroyed the World Ring itself.
The small world within was directly devoured by the Spatial Worm incarnation.
As a result, even a Universe Master or a True God present here would be unable to reverse time and "revive" it.
The remaining secret arts were those suitable for Irina.
Luo Fan directly transmitted them to her through the Slave Mark within her soul.
In any case, Irina could no longer betray him.
In the entire Primordial Universe, there was no human capable of undoing her soul enslavement.
With these things, Irina breaking through to Immortal was only a matter of time.
After seeing the resources before her and receiving the secret arts within her soul, Irina trembled with excitement.
"This… this is simply unbelievable, this secret art!"
"Master, thank you so very much!"
"This secret art was truly created for Zerg Brood Queens!"
Irina was not wrong.
At present, this secret art could indeed only achieve its greatest effect in the hands of the Zerg.
Although Luo Fan could also learn it,
learning it would be useless to him.
He could not control Zerg warriors.
As for incarnations, they could fully cooperate on their own.
