Primordial Star Scripture

"Buzzing" noises filled the air, ear-piercingly shrill, echoing in all directions.

Ye Chen and over seventy other martial artists, were utterly astounded as they watched the sky-high swarms of golden demon bees completely shrouding the world around them.

Golden demon bees of the late Heavenly Saint stage!

Moreover, there were thousands of demon bees of this caliber!

Even if they had anticipated that guardian creatures might exist around the "Void Sky Quintessence Fruit", no one had imagined the sheer number and level of such creatures.

Such a horde, let alone the majority of martial artists present who were at the early or middle Heavenly Saint stage, even the formidable entities in the late Heavenly Saint stage could very likely meet their demise under the assault of this swarm of golden demon bees!

The situation at hand left no time for the martial artists to think further.

After enveloping everyone in the sky-darkening swarm, all the golden demon bees launched an attack on the more than seventy martial artists.

Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!

Each demon bee shot a slender, gleaming stinger from its tail directly at the closest martial artist. Though only the size of a fist, these bees were late Heavenly Saint stage creatures.

The two-inch-long gleaming stingers, as soon as they aimed at the martial artists in the field, pierced through many late Heavenly Saint martial artists' defenses that had erupted instantly, not to mention those below the late Heavenly Saint stage.

Almost all martial artists below the late Heavenly Saint stage couldn't withstand the onslaught of the golden demon bees and were struck by the stingers instantly.

Each martial artist hit by the stingers had at least thirty to forty stingers buried in their bodies.

Two late Heavenly Saint entities even had over a hundred stingers embedded in them!

Then, something terrible happened.

The martial artists struck by the stingers, be it Rotating Pill Realm or early, middle, or late Heavenly Saint stage, all exuded billowing black Qi from their flesh; their bodies visibly disintegrated at a rapid pace, and in merely a few breaths, the martial artists' entire physical bodies and even their skeletons completely turned into black smoke, evaporating into nothingness.

Even the Divine Souls that had just emerged after the physical bodies were destroyed were directly obliterated, vanishing without a trace.

These martial artists were all instantly slain right on the spot!

Out of over seventy martial artists, more than sixty were killed instantly, leaving only eight survivors in this entire world.

Witnessing the grisly deaths of their fellow martial artists, the surviving eight couldn't help but inhale sharply.

They clearly realized that the stingers of these golden demon bees carried an unimaginable toxicity and killing power.

At this moment, the swarm of thousands of golden demon bees, having just claimed the lives of over sixty martial artists amidst deafening "buzzing" sounds, retracted their stingers back into their abdomens, and then, this horde of late Heavenly Saint stage bees furiously circled and rushed towards the surviving eight for another round of frenzied assault.

Launching the second wave of attack!

Among the survivors, six were late Heavenly Saint martial artists, one was at the middle Heavenly Saint level, and one was at the early stage of the Rotating Pill Realm.

The survivor of the Rotating Pill Realm was none other than Ye Chen.

The instant a large faction of the bee swarm attacked Ye Chen for the first time, his mind flashed with countless methods of resistance.

The nine frozen guardians within his Ice Snow Jade Medallion couldn't wait to come out and assist Ye Chen, and at the same time, they informed Ye Chen of the strength of these demon bees. These late Heavenly Saint stage bees each possessed a combat power that was incredibly close to Bing Shijiu.

The group of over eighty golden demon bees flying towards Ye Chen probably had a combined strength that could only be resisted by Bing Shiyi, Bing Shier, and Bing Shisan, the powerful members of the frozen guardians.

In such a situation, Ye Chen had no time for hesitation. He immediately summoned the Qi Snake Warbeast, Bing Shisan, to protect him at his side. At the same time, with a thought from Ye Chen, his newly-refined Defensive Divine Artifact, the "Purple Mist True Garment," flashed into existence on the outside of his clothing.

The "Purple Mist True Garment" could defend against the killing power and martial skills of the Heavenly Saint level. Ye Chen had already seen that the attack of these golden demon bees wasn't aimed at the soul. The Purple Mist True Garment was obviously capable of countering the bees' lethal power.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Qi Snake Warbeast Bing Shisan, spanning over eight hundred zhang in length, emerged and, in a bid to protect Ye Chen, unleashed its powerful late Heavenly Saint techniques.

Bing Shisan's massive head violently expelled a breath towards the void, and a burst of Seven-colored Danxia Cloud Qi instantly shattered the entire void. The more than eighty golden demon bees rolling towards Ye Chen were wrapped up in this Danxia Cloud Qi.

Then, the Danxia Cloud Qi generated a thunderous sound of purple lightning and thunder, which in the midst of resounding destruction, completely disintegrated every single one of the golden demon bees.

While Bing Shisan launched its attack at the golden demon bees, Ye Chen looked up and saw that many people had already perished under the attack of other bee swarms at this moment, and he further noticed several powerful martial artists unleashing all their techniques, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the swarms assaulting them.

At this moment, Ye Chen's figure moved instantaneously, and as the "Purple Mist True Garment" enveloped his entire body, his large hand covered by the Purple Mist True Garment reached out directly toward a gold-colored Demon Bee nearby.

Ye Chen wanted to test whether the Purple Mist True Garment could truly withstand the sting of the Demon Bee's needle.

Despite the protection of the Purple Mist True Garment, Ye Chen still circulated a magical treasure in his large hand beneath its cover, which was none other than his life-bound flying sword "Chi Huo."

In the past ten or so days since obtaining the "Void Sky Sword Embryo," Ye Chen had been using it to nurture his life-bound flying sword Chi Huo.

Although the life-bound flying sword Chi Huo had not been fully restored, it was already usable once again.

The flying sword "Chi Huo" was an exquisite sacred artifact.

If the Purple Mist True Garment really couldn't withstand the sting of the bee needle, Ye Chen was prepared to use the exquisite sacred artifact, the flying sword "Chi Huo," to shred the piercing bee needle immediately to prevent its deadly poison from entering his body.

The gold-colored Demon Bee seemed to be quite intelligent; it saw that an astonishing War Beast had suddenly appeared beside Ye Chen, which had wiped out all eighty or so gold-colored Demon Bees that had been attacking him.

And yet, this young man, Ye Chen, dared to free a hand to attack it, prompting the gold-colored Demon Bee to try to turn and evade.

However, its reaction was ultimately not as swift as Ye Chen's direct action. At this point, Ye Chen's large hand, covered by the purple mist of the Purple Mist True Garment, had already reached the top of the gold-colored Demon Bee's head.

In such a situation, the gold-colored Demon Bee could no longer evade. When it could not escape, the Demon Bee let out a sharp screech, and its stinger on its tail immediately aimed a sting at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen also held his breath completely taut at this moment.

The Purple Mist True Garment was a Defensive Divine Artifact, and although Ye Chen speculated that it could block the sting of the bee needle, he couldn't be at ease without a true test.

And now was the time to truly verify the defense of the "Purple Mist True Garment."

Thud!

In an instant, the bee needle of the gold-colored Demon Bee had already made contact with the purple vapor of the "Purple Mist True Garment" atop Ye Chen's large hand. To Ye Chen's delight, the Defensive Divine Artifact "Purple Mist True Garment" really could defend against the sting of the bee needle.

As soon as the Demon Bee's needle touched the Purple Mist True Garment, it was immediately enveloped in an extremely soft embrace, which was precisely the wrapping of the purple mist from the "Purple Mist True Garment."

While the purple mist wrapped around the bee needle, flashes of divine light flickered on the Purple Mist True Garment, instantly obliterating the bee needle that could penetrate the defenses of many late-stage Heavenly Saint Martial Artists.

Seeing the remarkable effect of the "Purple Mist True Garment," Ye Chen was overjoyed.

The bee needle was the gold-colored Demon Bee's lethal move. Now that the needle had been obliterated, Ye Chen wouldn't let this opportunity slip away. As his large hand grasped at the Demon Bee, black flames from the fire-type divine art "Heaven-Devouring True Fire" surged out, directly enveloping the gold-colored Demon Bee in the flames instantaneously.

Without the bee needle retracted into its body, the gold-colored Demon Bee was at its most vulnerable. Its individual strength was weaker than the weakest of the nine Frozen Guards, Bing Shijiu, and it possessed ordinary combat power for the late-stage Heavenly Saint.

Caught off guard by the sudden onslaught of the Heaven-Devouring True Fire, the gold-colored Demon Bee was engulfed by the flames and ultimately burned to death.

Ye Chen, through his own combat strength and the cooperation of the "Purple Mist True Garment," had also slain a gold-colored Demon Bee!

Just as Ye Chen had killed this gold-colored Demon Bee and Bing Shisan had helped him kill the remaining eighty or so Demon Bees, the other Demon Bees had just finished killing over sixty Martial Artists and launched their second attack.

The second wave of gold-colored Demon Bees attacking Ye Chen exceeded five hundred in number.

Having established that the Purple Mist True Garment could defend against the most terrifying sting of the gold-colored Demon Bee, Ye Chen felt some confidence. Seeing the Demon Bees launch their second wave of attacks, he couldn't afford to look at the remaining surviving Martial Artists. He called out to Bing Shisan while simultaneously launching another attack on the swarm of Demon Bees.

The Qi Snake Warbeast Bing Shisan and Ye Chen engaged directly with the over five hundred gold-colored Demon Bees in battle once again.

The Qi Snake Warbeast vastly surpassed these gold-colored Demon Bees in strength. Even with over five hundred accumulated Demon Bees, it wasn't afraid of their combined efforts, continuously watching over Ye Chen while spurting bursts of Seven-colored Danxia Cloud Qi. One after another, the Demon Bees died amid the clashes with Ye Chen and Bing Shisan.

On one side, Ye Chen continued to resist the second wave of the gold-colored Demon Bees' attack.

Of the seven other surviving Martial Artists, two were unable to withstand the even denser second wave of gold-colored Demon Bees and perished instantly, just like the sixty or so Martial Artists before them.

The remaining five Martial Artists, four in the late stage of Heavenly Saint and one in the middle stage, no longer hid their combat strength and unleashed all their powerful trump cards.

The middle-stage Heavenly Saint Martial Artist's body shone with a bright green belt, which boosted his combat strength under its glow, astonishingly reaching the top-tier of the late-stage Heavenly Saint!

At the same time, this middle-stage Heavenly Saint Martial Artist took out a green basket, which began to rotate upon its appearance, creating a tremendous suction force that continuously drew in the Demon Bees attacking him into the basket.

As soon as the Demon Bees were sucked into the green basket, they issued harrowing screeches, and then there were no more sounds; the situation suggested that all those Demon Bees had been killed by the green basket.

This green basket in the hands of the middle-stage Heavenly Saint Martial Artist was clearly an outstanding and mighty treasure.
