Chapter 49 Aftermath
Virtual universe...
"Star, what exactly is going on here?" King Luo asked anxiously. The temperature of the flames was getting higher and higher, and when it reached a critical value, it would annihilate the divine body.
They are at the limit of the King-level, but they all surpass the peak of the King-level in terms of attack or other aspects. The true strength of their divine bodies is only at the peak of the King-level.
"Just as that Dark Bee Clan member said, the Queen Bee Space is now a furnace," Lu Xing said calmly. "As for its power... if there is enough energy, even a peak-level King-level divine body would be completely annihilated over a long period of time."
"What!" King Luo Sheng was immediately startled, then asked, "Isn't there any way out?"
Seeing how well Lu Xing knew about the place, and considering that they had been warned to leave beforehand, Lu Xing was now their only lifeline.
But he's going to be disappointed.
"No." Lu Xing shook his head. "However, the energy consumed far exceeds your imagination. It's unlikely to completely kill you; at most, it will significantly weaken you."
"Not only fire, but also alien races must be watched out for!"
In extreme situations, the more resources one has to preserve, the more strength one retains, inevitably leading to conflict.
After exchanging a few more words, the two lost contact.
……
Endless flames spread through the space, and everyone began to use defensive measures to resist the flames, since they were, after all, flames aimed at corpses.
Corpses cannot defend themselves, but they can; however, over time even divine bodies will inevitably suffer damage.
"what!"
A scream echoed through the space.
"My divine body was actually burned away by this flame!" King Hanshan exclaimed in horror.
At this moment, he had transformed into his true form, a giant snake with blue scales and tens of thousands of ring-shaped patterns on the dense scales. He had six wings on his back, all of which were fascial and fleshy wings, plus a single eye with a black pupil.
It was Ziqian Wanshe, one of the royal families of the demon race.
His divine body had just reached the peak of the King-level realm, and it was the worst among those besides Lu Xing's, so naturally it was the first to be damaged by the flames.
"It's really true!" King Luo Sheng thought to himself. Hearing Lu Xing say that the peak of the King-level Divine Body could be annihilated was a completely different feeling from actually seeing it. This was a real life-or-death crisis.
"Attack the gate together, or we'll all die inside if the flames get any stronger!" roared the Zerg King of the Hidden Eyes, then took out a sharp shuttle and poured his immense divine power into it.
The other kings did the same, each taking out their weapons and unleashing their strongest secret techniques.
One attack after another bombarded the bronze gate, but it only bore slight scratches. At this rate, they would be killed by the flames before it could be broken.
"If it can withstand such flames, how could it be broken by such an attack?" Lu Xing laughed as he felt the bronze gate shaking violently.
The Dark Bee Clan's protection of the Queen Bee far exceeds expectations; the materials they use are all G-grade obsidian, making it extremely difficult for an Immortal to damage her.
Time passed second by second, and the divine body continued to deteriorate.
"die!"
The secret technique of King Luosheng reversed direction and pierced straight through King Hanshan's body, causing his already damaged divine body to be further diminished.
This sudden attack undoubtedly startled the others, as King Luo Sheng was the strongest among them.
"The more we seize his treasure, the greater our chances of survival will be!" King Luosheng transmitted his voice to the group.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Attacks kept coming toward Han Shan Wang, the only one who didn't make a move was Gu Long Wang, since the two were allies and it was impossible for them to fight openly.
But he wasn't foolish enough to help King Hanshan, otherwise they would both perish.
"Die, all of you!"
Seeing no hope, King Hanshan chose to self-destruct, scattering a large number of treasures in the air. Some low-grade items were destroyed the moment they came into contact with the flames.
However, most of the recovery-type treasures are stored in precious metals, making them extremely difficult to damage.
The scene became extremely chaotic.
However, what they didn't know was that those annihilated divine bodies did not dissipate; energy is conserved, and this dissipated divine power was slowly absorbed by the temple space.
The entire furnace was running for a full day.
"The temple's energy... is exhausted!" Lu Xing exclaimed, because he sensed from the core token that the black membranes inside the temple had disappeared, including the one at the entrance.
"Hahaha, I understand!" Lu Xing laughed loudly and flew in one direction along the passage.
……
The black film has disappeared, which means that anyone outside can enter.
"The temple's confinement has been lifted!"
"Doesn't that mean you can enter without a token?"
"Whoosh!" One figure after another rushed towards the temple. At this time, it wasn't just those at the limit of the King-level, but also two invincible King-level experts who arrived.
Meanwhile, in the Queen Bee's space...
Four kings at their limit and four kings at their peak were burned in the furnace, leaving only three: King Luo Sheng, King Zi Sha, and King Qian Mu.
King Luosheng was the strongest and acquired the most treasures. King Qianmu and King Zisha had large divine bodies and were more resistant to exhaustion.
Even so, their divine bodies suffered heavy losses: King Luosheng lost 27%, King Qianmu lost 31%, and King Zisha lost a terrifying 47%.
The Immortal Divine Body is related to strength; losing up to 10% has almost no impact on strength.
With a 30% loss, our strength is now only half of what it was before.
With a 50% loss, our strength is reduced to only 10%.
The losses amounted to 70%, and the strength was less than one percent.
Lost 90%, lost consciousness, and fell into a deep sleep.
If they hadn't exhausted all the treasures for restoring their divine bodies, there would have been no point in killing the Purple Demon King again; otherwise, he would have been the next to die. Given the devastating losses, they dared not continue and quickly headed outwards.
Meanwhile, in a very hidden space at the bottom of the Queen Bee's space.
"It's done!"
"It's finally going to be completed!"
"Premium Royal Jelly!"
The Dark Bee Clan King looked excitedly at the golden liquid suspended on the tall platform. Countless secret patterns lit up from below the platform, and then wisps of energy emerged and flowed into the liquid.
"After scheming for billions of years, I, Dark Blade, have finally obtained the Primordial Royal Jelly!"
As the last bit of energy was injected, the liquid became incredibly thick, radiating a breathtaking power that drew life to absorb it.
"Boom!"
Countless dark red vines shot out from the entrance, then coiled around the Dark Bee King, their massive size instantly filling the entire space.
"A plant life crowned as king!"
The Dark Bee Clan's King gathered divine power and bombarded the vines, but only managed to create some patterns on them, which quickly healed completely.
Even a plant life form at the initial stage of the King level is comparable to a high-level King level in terms of physical strength, and cannot be destroyed by a casual strike from a peak King level.
But at this moment, the royal jelly was formed, and the Dark Bee Clan King couldn't care less about anything else. His invisible divine power began to burn, and he forcefully blasted a passage through the countless vines.
"It's you!"
"How did you manage to get here!"
Upon arriving at the platform, a familiar figure came into view of the Dark Bee Clan's King.
It was Lu Xing, and these countless vines were the Blazing Star Vine.
"This thing is mine now!" Lu Xing smiled and put the royal jelly that had formed on the platform into his world ring.
Let me explain. First, I didn't write the plot inside the temple very well, please forgive me. Then there's the issue of the Queen Bee's Space. The setting is that only nine tokens can exist in the space; having one more or one less will cause it to close. The royal jelly is set to be refined by absorbing the divine power of countless immortal divine bodies and combining it with a vast amount of treasures. Also, the protagonist is very familiar with the various structures inside the temple, which is why he was able to avoid and find the space where the royal jelly was refined. I will try to explain the other reasons later, or you can ask me directly.
