Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 732 - 312: Bee Demon Queen (Part 4)
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
At that moment, the crowd finally caught a clear glimpse of those ethereal divine needles.
Hundreds of needle silhouettes floated there, differing in width and size, flickering between the tangible and the intangible.
The slimmer ones were nearly undetectable by Spiritual Sense, whereas the bulkier ones looked like mighty spears.
Every single one of those illusory divine needles shimmered with a deadly poison.
As the observers scanned them via Spiritual Sense, a sharp pain stabbed at their Primordial Spirits.
To the bare eyes, it seemed as if tiny pricks assaulted their vision, sparking widespread panic.
This Bee Demon King turned out to be so utterly horrifying!
Their eyes turned toward the Bee Demon King suspended in the empty sky, where the initial sight that struck them was her six pairs of sheer wings, flawless and breathtaking.
Once their focus moved to her form, the pupils of everyone shrank back in shock.
The Bee Demon King possessed the body of a woman!
Her silhouette was incredibly alluring, featuring a slender waist and curvaceous hips like polished jade, her whole figure appearing carved from fine jade.
Merely in vital spots did she wear vibrant scale armor, mainly in hues of yellow and black.
Her limbs stretched long, and she wielded six arms, each as pure and white as fresh snow.
Gazing upon her visage, waves of vibrant, multicolored hair cascaded down, every thread sparkling like crystal, draping over much of her frame.
Her wide eyes shimmered with allure, her nose was delicate and small, and her lips glowed a vivid crimson.
Just two antennae protruded from her brow, concealed amid her locks, gently waving like faint tendrils.
Beholding this mesmerizing image of the Bee Demon Queen, numerous male cultivators on site, along with certain female ones, found themselves captivated by her seductive charm.
The Sword Ancestor remained utterly unaffected.
Ning Qi’s Five Elements divine chains morphed into a massive palm that kept extending forward, striving to pin her down.
In the void, the Bee Demon Queen’s six pairs of wings beat rapidly, evading the enormous hand of Ning Qi.
Her movement skills proved profoundly arcane, subtly syncing with the Heavenly Dao, letting her slip away from Ning Qi’s hold repeatedly.
Even more shocking, with every dodge she made, a genuine duplicate sprang into being.
Bit by bit, six versions of the Bee Demon Queen materialized in the sky, leaving the onlookers stunned once more.
These six Bee Demon Queens united their efforts, unleashing razor-sharp gusts that tore through the emptiness, all aimed straight at Ning Qi.
She had pinpointed the heart of the opposing force as Ning Qi himself.
She also grasped that this force harbored no plans to assault her.
Thus, by overcoming Ning Qi, she could still find a way to break free.
Innumerable wind blades assaulted from every direction, some overt and others concealed in the void, some straightforward and others sly, encircling Ning Qi in a raging tempest.
Ning Qi invoked the long-forgotten Jade Warm Smoke Technique, wrapping himself in a multicolored glow akin to a rainbow, like fragile bubbles, guarding him inside.
The barrage of wind blades crashed against the glow, producing endless hissing noises.
However, they merely made the glow quiver faintly, failing to breach it!
"Sigh!"
A soft sigh escaped the Bee Demon Queen.
She released a sweet-smelling breath that permeated the atmosphere, carrying a fragrance that felt like sipping divine nectar to all who inhaled it.
The six bee forms fused back together, reducing to a single demon in the void.
"Can I surrender?"
Witnessing the Bee Demon Queen choose to yield on her own, the assembly couldn’t resist glancing toward Ning Qi.
Ning Qi floated amid the void, bathed in the seven-hued light, appearing as a celestial being gracing the earthly plane.
He ignored the Bee Demon Queen’s plea and abruptly swiveled his head, peering off into one particular direction.
Through his senses, he picked up on a group that had drawn near, advancing in their direction.
The black flood dragon hurried to Ning Qi’s side, acting like a loyal hound, and offered words to the bee demon:
"Surrender the Node Pearl, yield your Primordial Spirit, and the master may let you live!"
The Bee Demon Queen’s alluring eyes squinted a touch; she sensed the energy from the black flood dragon, linked to her own origin, both hailing from the Sea of Realms!
She quickly understood that the black flood dragon had fallen under the control of this youthful figure before her, who radiated an immortal aura.
Although the black flood dragon came from the dragon lineage, it ranked lower than true dragons, yet in Cultivation terms, the Bee Demon Queen surpassed it.
She stood merely a step from Harmonization, her powers immense and wondrous, and she refused to part with her Primordial Spirit.
Ning Qi faced the group again and declared, "The forces from the Fuyao Realm are here. Get ready."
This revelation stunned the crowd, who promptly formed up for combat.
The Sword Ancestor’s brow furrowed lightly; these arrivals weren’t foes but the military from the adjacent Fuyao Realm. What drove them to appear?
The Bee Demon Queen overheard Ning Qi’s announcement, her captivating eyes fluttering as she pondered delaying until the mentioned forces arrived, aiming to play one side against the other.
With the Node Pearl of this realm in her grasp, she could fully manipulate both armies.
After all, while she couldn’t overpower Ning Qi, it appeared nobody else there could swiftly overpower her either.
