Levi wasted no time disposing of the enemies’ corpses, immediately tossing them into the enclosure to feed the Zerg creatures.

Within the Greenfield Immortal House, the two types of Zerg creatures, the Saint Scorpions and Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spiders, freely reproduced and multiplied. Their numbers had now reached tens of thousands.

However, at this moment in the Greenfield Immortal House, scattered corpses of Saint Scorpions and Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spiders were visible everywhere.

“More infighting among themselves?” Levi maintained a calm expression, having grown accustomed to the creatures killing each other. After all, they reproduced rapidly, and Levi considered it a form of nurturing.

As he examined the corpses, he noticed a monstrous creature about the size of a wild dog with golden armor and red spots devouring the bodies of the Saint Scorpions and Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spiders.

Sensing a gaze, the creature lifted its head, revealing a scorpion-like face with a somewhat human appearance.

“What kind of creature is this?”

In the next moment, the creature opened its mouth, emitting a slightly childish, sharp, and unpleasant voice in Levi’s mind.

“Mom… Mom…”

Levi quickly tested his insect-controlling spell, the Spider and Scorpion Song.

The spiritual force connection remained, indicating that he could control the creature.

“Mom… Mom…”

“I’m not your mom.”

Levi frowned.

“Dad… Dad…”

“I’m not your dad either; call me master!”

Levi was perplexed. Based on his knowledge of entomology, he couldn’t explain the current situation.

“Could it be that some of the bodies I fed them earlier were problematic? Did some Saint Scorpions mutate after eating them, or were they possessed?”

Levi pondered, unable to find a clear answer.

“Why did you eat your brothers and sisters?” Levi asked.

The Saint Scorpion seemed capable of communication, displaying rudimentary childlike thoughts.

“Mom, I’m hungry…”

Levi released the surviving Saint Scorpions and Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spiders from the corners of the Greenfield Immortal House, where they had hidden. He had kept them there, giving a home to the surviving Zerg creatures, all bearing scars but exhibiting great strength.

In the Greenfield Immortal House, only the mutated Zerg creature remained.

Levi took the creature out and examined it closely. From its features, it appeared to be a stitched-together monster combining the traits of Saint Scorpions and Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spiders. Out of all the Zerg creatures, only this one had been born.

“I’m hungry…”

This creature, still not satisfied, roamed the grand hall in search of food.

Despite its fearsome appearance, the creature showed no signs of aggression towards Levi. It seemed the insect-controlling spell was still effective, indicating no betrayal from the creature. If there were any signs of a backlash, Levi would not hesitate to eliminate the creature.

Levi tossed some sea beast meat from his storage bags to the creature, allowing it to feast. Approaching the creature, Levi touched its tough exoskeleton. Though not extremely hard, it felt sturdy, with a rubbery texture. Testing its defense, Levi found it surpassed that of a level 12 Golden Snake, far superior to ordinary Saint Scorpions.

Next, Levi retrieved a second-circle transcendent creature, an Armored Woolly Ox, from Alice’s ring and placed it before the creature. The monster immediately pounced, its size comparable to a small mouse.

However, with razor-sharp mouthparts, the creature effortlessly tore through the ox’s armor resistant to second-circle spells. Injecting venom and wrapping it in silk, the creature immobilized the ox completely.

Subsequently, the creature burrowed into the ox’s body. Levi observed the ox writhing in pain, its surface occasionally bulging as the creature traversed within.

“Facing a second-circle transcendent creature alone, it was instantly slain. It should possess strength close to that of a third-circle being.”

Soon, Levi noticed a phantom image of the ox’s soul struggling at the creature’s mouth, on the verge of dissipating. The creature swiftly sucked in the soul, consuming it.

“Satisfied… Mom.”

Having finished its meal, the creature approached Levi, nuzzling his leg with its peculiar head. Eventually, it lay down, falling asleep like a kitten.

Witnessing this scene, Levi felt an odd sensation within.

“I’m afraid even the most senior insect-controlling wizards in the School of Insects wouldn’t be able to explain what’s going on.”

Taking advantage of its slumber, Levi used a dream entry spell to hypnotize the creature and alter its memories.

“I am your master, not your mom or dad. Creatures like you are born to be loyal to your master. Otherwise, your master will be unhappy and might abandon you, leaving you hungry.”

The dream entry spell allowed Levi to implant subconscious suggestions, making the creature more loyal. While such a method might have modest effects on mature human minds, for this immature creature, the results should be satisfactory.

“From now on, I’ll call you Leon.”

Levi placed the peculiar creature, Leon, into the Greenfield Immortal House, keeping it in solitary confinement for exclusive nurturing. Leon, exhibiting abilities amalgamated from Saint Scorpions and Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spiders, displayed increased strength in all aspects. Levi anticipated significant growth in the future.

After completing these tasks, Levi proceeded to the volcano where the sub-dimensional portal node was located. The volcanic eruptions had ceased, and Levi followed the passage he had previously created.

Deep underground, at the center of a lava lake, he found the spatial vortex. Surrounded by a Heavy Water Barrier and protected by Golden Snake scales, Levi entered, vanishing from sight.

Upon reappearing, he found himself in the midst of a molten sea. Before he could recover from the disorientation caused by the teleportation, danger signaled through his Spider Sensing ability. Levi was abruptly sent flying as he collided with an immense force.

The Heavy Water Barrier shattered, and the Golden Snake scales were torn apart. Levi’s formidable Fire Dragon True Form suffered damage but quickly regenerated with the aid of Death Ember Power.

Enduring the pain, Levi focused on the adversary. A flaming phoenix, about a hundred meters long, composed of flames and molten rocks, stared menacingly at him.

Seeing the elusive and powerful opponent, Levi’s expression froze. “A Fire Elemental Spirit? And it’s at the fifth level! Retreat!”

Without any hesitation, Levi’s Scarlet Dragon seed ignited, releasing all Scarlet Power within. The Chariot rune glowed, and a blood fog enveloped the molten sea as Levi transformed into an unparalleled streak of blood-red light. In the blink of an eye, he vanished before the fiery bird, leaving only residual blood qi that quickly dissipated.

If it were a fourth-level adversary, Levi might have fought, but against a fifth-level Fire Elemental Spirit, even with the Fire Dragon True Form’s flame resistance, he didn’t want to take unnecessary risks. Life only offered one chance.

Observing the disappearing enemy, the fiery bird’s gaze remained cold, choosing not to pursue. It withdrew its attention and continued lurking in the depths of the molten sea, absorbing the fire elemental power to grow stronger.

Meanwhile, in a deep-sea cave within the Hundred-Eyed Demon Territory, Levi, having set up a concealed array, hid within and consumed a potion for vitality restoration. After eating plenty of food, he began to recuperate. This marked his first use of Scarlet Escape, and he hoped it would be the last.

“In that lava sea, encountering a fifth-level Fire Elemental Spirit is too dangerous. If it crossed the spatial vortex and reached the mortal realm… the Church would face a formidable adversary.”
