Chapter 544: Chapter 401: You bees, truly weak and love seeking death
“Conspiracy?”
Everyone was slightly startled and quite surprised.
As they spoke, they followed Xu Gu’s gaze.
They saw, atop the peaks, a giant seven-colored lotus flickering, with a colorful crystal stone in its center, shining brightly.
The divine light they saw from afar was emitted from this colorful crystal stone.
“Divine blood crystal!” Everyone’s breath became involuntarily rapid.
On the Divine Domain Continent, many gods had fallen, and the corpses and flesh of these gods mostly turned into pure energy, seeping into the continent. After all, too much time had passed.
However, even so, some flesh escaped the fate of dissipating into the world, preserved in amber-like crystal form.
The divine blood crystal was one of them.
It was pure divine blood condensed!
An invaluable treasure!
“And it’s quite a large piece!”
Liu Ying exclaimed, feeling that the energy contained in this part of the divine blood exceeded even the energy from the third of the Sea God’s arm that Xu Gu had obtained.
“The gods of the Divine Era were all true gods. This is why any treasure tainted with the aura of these gods is so precious on the Divine Domain Continent,” added Kan Turtle, knowledgeable as ever.
“True gods?!”
Li Junqing and Fa Qing both were taken aback. They, having been self-sealed for a thousand years, knew little of the outside world. When they heard that many gods had perished on the Divine Domain Battlefield, they thought these were divine-level beings and were already shocked.
But now they knew these gods were not divine-level beings but the legendary true gods.
This was a peak that neither the entire Mechanical Sea nor the current Human Clan had ever reached!
“Of course, you think anyone can just call themselves gods? The so-called gods now are just false gods,” Kan Turtle said, holding his head high.
Although, since he could remember, the Divine Domain Battlefield had already existed. Back then, mechanization had not yet begun, and it was an era where all clans competed, with powerful clans illuminating the starry universe.
However, ten thousand years have passed, and all of that has become a mirage.
Thinking of this, his heart became somewhat heavy. Sometimes, gaining time that long isn’t necessarily a good thing.
Amidst their heated discussion, they still hadn’t discovered any conspiracy.
“Divine blood is incomparably precious, a divine-level material. If it appeared and attracted the covetous eyes of various demon kings, it’s quite expected,” the Elf Queen said hesitantly.
This also represented Liu Ying and the others’ thoughts.
Conspiracy? Is it real? Why can’t we see it?
Xu Gu shook his head, his gaze already deep, and said,
“Your perception is not sharp enough.”
In his eyes, or rather in his perception, there were three faint auras hovering near the divine blood.
Normally, such a situation wouldn’t occur.
The key was that these three auras were different from any living being he had encountered.
They exuded an unimaginable mystery.
“This divine blood is the bait, and they’re fishing,” Xu Gu confirmed.
He was a divine-level, currently known as the only divine-level Auto Man. Naturally, his perception was more acute than others.
“Really?” Seeing Xu Gu so solemn, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter and couldn’t help but worry, “It must be something incredibly powerful that would use divine blood as bait!”
“Even, their target isn’t just these lower demon kings on the field, but a certain intermediate demon king closest to this location.”
“Then what about us?”
Liu Ying’s eyebrows slightly raised. With Xu Gu’s warning, she also felt an ominous feeling.
As if being watched by something terribly frightening.
A slight sense of fear enveloped her heart.
She was the strongest presence on the field besides Xu Gu, at the demigod level, so she could somewhat sense the anomaly.
Initially, she was looking forward to witnessing Xu Gu taking the divine blood amidst the lower kings’ confrontation on the field, taking it by surprise.
After all, she was firmly tied to Xu Gu; the stronger Xu Gu became and the more treasures he acquired, the stronger she would become, receiving more precious treasures!
But in the current situation, she even thought it might be best to flee!
The unknown is what is most frightening.
“It’s not a big deal,” Xu Gu said calmly, “If they were truly powerful enough, it would not be fishing but directly venturing into the deep mountains to make a haul.”
“That’s true.”
However, everyone was still very concerned.
They felt it was somewhat risky.
This was understandable since Xu Gu, despite his astonishing talent, had only awakened five months ago.
Directly participating in the king realm’s struggle and scheming, they found it hard to feel at ease.
Especially since they were currently weak and couldn’t help Xu Gu.
Yet, as they pondered whether to persuade Xu Gu to leave, given Xu Gu’s talent, there was really no need to take the risk. Lying low for a while, and after emerging, he would surely be invincible!
Suddenly,
A thunderbolt struck from the air.
The direction it hit was precisely where Xu Gu was.
Although he was hiding well, he was still detected by the four strong forces facing off on the field.
Instantly, the atmosphere on the field became subtle and tense.
All the demon kings stared fiercely at Xu Gu, exploding with incredibly fierce auras, extremely hostile.
This change directly made everyone in the battle space widen their eyes, and their breath became rapid with tension.
How could it be such a coincidence in the world?
It was evidently the mastermind behind the scenes who saw through Xu Gu’s concealment, then used the thunderbolt’s direction to inform the other kings, avoiding a situation where Xu Gu snuck advantage.
“Discovered.”
Xu Gu’s gaze finally glanced around the divine blood atop the peak, then shifted his focus onto the kings on the field.
“Just as well, I wasn’t planning to continue hiding.”
After saying that, his aura suddenly changed, like an immortal god descending into the world, wielding a battle instrument, he charged forward.
Behind him, a more violent, sacred, yet evil-aura-emitting exotic beast pounced in another direction.
It was the ‘Ultimate Life Form’ Dragon Sparrow Snake Beast!
“Buzz!” “Buzz!” “Buzz!”
Facing Xu Gu’s assault, whether demon or god skeleton, chose to retreat violently.
With so many demon kings on the field, no one wanted to fight Xu Gu to the death, lest they fall victim to other kings.
The Ancestor Dragon, of course, wanted to retreat but was entangled by the Dragon Sparrow Snake Beast, helplessly groaning in protest.
Instead, the Soul-devouring Divine Bee, when facing Xu Gu’s assault, was all enraged to the extreme, with eyes blood-red, especially the Bee King, whose anger seemed to become tangible.
It directly went berserk.
Because it sensed from Xu Gu the aura that only the Soul-devouring Divine Bee could perceive, left after slaughtering the queen in their old nest and the group of divine bees along the way!
It knew of Xu Gu’s outrageous crimes against them!
“Boy, you’re looking for death!”
The Bee King’s enormous wings blocked out the sky, and terrifying death and poisonous auras enveloped the entire sky. Holding a sharp spear, it charged toward Xu Gu with overwhelming fury.
“Death Poison Spear!”
Harnessing all its strength along with its mastery of death authority and poisonous aptitude, it concentrated into the spear, releasing its ultimate skill!
Behind it, countless Soul-devouring Divine Bees buzzed, slaughtering towards Xu Gu.
They too unleashed their final moves.
They were fighting with all their might.
Determined for life and death with Xu Gu.
The aura they unleashed was startling, so much so that any ordinary lower demon king encountering it would instantaneously fall.
This scene directly left the two retreating demons and the god skeleton terror-stricken, very thankful that they didn’t directly engage with this group of divine bees, or otherwise, even if not dead, they’d be gravely injured!
At the same time, their gazes towards Xu Gu were filled with mockery, ridicule, and pity.
“A mere Human King dares tread here, even dares provoke the Soul-devouring Divine Bees, surely seeking death.” The demon sneered, looking at Xu Gu as if he were already a dead man.
“Ignorance leads to death,” the giant skeleton also remarked coldly, arrogantly sentencing Xu Gu to death.
However,
In response, Xu Gu just smiled.
Even though numerous attacks from the Soul-devouring Divine Bees had fallen, he remained composed and calm.
“Your clansmen aren’t just weak, they’re stupid enough to want to kill me, which is why I exterminated them. Clearly, you are no different. Both weak and love courting death.
“I’m really curious, how have you survived so far without going extinct?”
As his words landed, a screen deep as a black hole appeared in front of Xu Gu, absorbing all attacks from the Soul-devouring Divine Bees in an instant.
Xu Gu was unscathed!
“How is this possible!”
The Bee King’s pupils shrank abruptly, as if witnessing the most impossible scene in the world, yet there was no time for fear.
Boom!
A blade of light, seemingly capable of splitting the entire galaxy, slashed down directly.
Instantly.
Every mighty Soul-devouring Divine Bee, appearing like an absolute death deity in the eyes of the surrounding monstrous beings, fell like raindrops, swiftly dropping from the sky.
Silence!
The silence of death.
At that moment, all beings present were dazed, their minds blank.
