The gold-armored beetles might have seemed formidable, but in the face of absolute power, such as before the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, they were vulnerable and easily destroyed, with hundreds of them getting caught in the sword array; it didn't take long for them to turn to ash, without even having a chance to trigger the next stage of evolution.
However, the fierce combat style of the gold-armored beetles was fully displayed at this moment. No matter how many beetles the sword formation killed, the following beetles didn't have the concept of fear at all; they kept charging towards Song Jian relentlessly as if even advancing an inch before dying was considered a victory for the gold-armored beetles.
As time passed, not only did the number of gold-armored beetles not decrease but it actually increased, and they were getting increasingly close to Song Jian.
