Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1105 - 1047: Xue Tianyu’s Defection
Days passed by, and the colossal beehive kept functioning, more and more bee insects were coming in and out of the hive, day and night, collecting the light of the Red Star, brewing the legendary Divine Nectar, unsure of when it would be completely successful.
A group of players from the Hero Empire led by Huang Yi, Nagas led by Hong Lin, Demon Clan led by Lord Fanyu, Insect Race led by Zhuo Yehua, and Blood Clan led by Xue Tianyu were all connected by this matter.
But from the cosmic scale, they were merely insignificant representatives of a larger power.
The Second World is one of the most famous worlds in the universe, with ten God Sealers born, ranking second among all worlds.
This world has continued through era after era, with billions of lives and races being born and perishing here, civilizations rising and falling gloriously, countless powerhouses writing legends here, only to be swiftly consumed by the long river of time.
This world has suffered setbacks, rapidly declining since the last God Sealer of the Ancient Era, Bloodhoof the Ascendant, and has now arrived at the critical juncture of life and death.
But Huang Yi and the Heaven-Sent Man are doing their utmost to save its destiny.
...
In the distant Tulunfa Galaxy, lies the cradle of the Insect Race.
At the dawn of the cosmos, a batch of Creator Ancestral Spirits was born. They were not deities, nor did they possess Divinity, yet they held powers that even deities feared.
Among these Creator Ancestral Spirits was the first of the Insect Race, the ancestor of the entire Insect Race, revered as the "Ancestral Mother," but she has been in perpetual slumber in the Land of Origin of the Insect Race.
Leading the entire Insect Race are her three daughters, namely the famed three Insect Queens—the Spider Queen, the Queen Bee, and the Ant Queen, each ruling the three major Royal Clans of the Insect Race—Spider Insects, Bee Insects, Ant Insects.
Among them, the Bee Insect line possesses the strongest absorption and transformation ability in the universe. They can absorb any material with powerful energy, be it minerals, starlight, corpses, or demonic qi, and convert them into pure strength, brewing the Divine Nectar that any race covets!
Divine Nectar is the most potent healing sacred relic in the universe; any wound, once the Divine Nectar is consumed, can be restored to its original state and become stronger than before.
However, once the Divine Nectar is brewed, it must be consumed promptly, or its efficacy will rapidly diminish, and even treasures like the Divine Crystal Vial cannot preserve it for long. Therefore, Divine Nectar is almost unattainable to outsiders, who are unclear about its appearance.
With such an unprecedented treasure as the Divine Nectar, the Insect Race has always been attempting to conquer the entire universe, whether it be the mighty First World or those weak and remote worlds, all must become their colonies.
By that time, no race would dare to offend their majesty, not even the Gods of the Heaven Realm or the Hordes of Demons, who would no longer be able to surpass them.
...
In the space of the Seven Archdemons, within a vast beehive-shaped Demon Palace, the Queen of Agony sat in solitude on the King’s Platform.
At this moment, she was no longer in her humanoid appearance, but revealed her true form—a gigantic bee insect.
She is the Queen Bee, one of the three Insect Queens, who was capable of divine enthronement as early as the Eternal Ancient Era, but she had always hidden in this peculiar space, avoiding the pull of the Heaven Realm, and alongside the other six equally powerful beings, she was called one of the Seven Archdemons.
Her abdomen was extraordinarily large, occupying nearly two-thirds of her entire body, and seemed to be a cradle of life, nurturing countless beings.
In the future, billions of offspring of the Bee Insect lineage would be born in her abdomen, carrying on the glory of this race.
However, at this time, her demonic qi was chaotic, and her heavy breathing could faintly be heard.
Recently, her avatar suffered heavy losses, and her true form had fallen into a weakened state.
Later, she issued an order to the Insect Race’s stronghold in the Tulunfa Galaxy, demanding them to immediately dispatch a squad of Bee Insects to the Second World, to collect the light of the Red Star, and brew Divine Nectar to heal her wounds.
Now, this mission was underway, in the hive of the Blood Moon Continent, beneath Zhuo Yehua’s command, countless Bee Insects were tirelessly collecting the Red Star’s light and brewing Divine Nectar.
Once she drinks the Divine Nectar, she would be able to return to her peak, perfect her avatar, and make a comeback to conquer the Second World once more.
...
In the depths of the First World’s ocean, on a submerged altar, the Naga Patriarch Medusa the Gorgon, with her snake tail coiled, sat with her eyes closed.
Around the altar, eighteen majestic demigod powerhouses were continuously channeling their Divine Power to heal Medusa the Gorgon, but with little effect.
The Nagas were a derivative race of the Nasash Clan, which once ruled the First World, and after the extinction of the Nasash, the Nagas emerged as a new race, dominating the oceans of the First World.
But recently, a Nasash, who should have been long extinct, suddenly appeared, demanding the Nagas’ submission, only to be rejected by Medusa the Gorgon.
The Nasash was instantly enraged and launched a sneak attack on Medusa the Gorgon, injuring her. It wasn’t until the demigod elders of the Naga intervened that the Nasash was repelled.
Later, they received news that a group of the Insect Race had gone to the Blood Moon Continent in the Second World to brew Divine Nectar for the Queen of Agony. To help Medusa the Gorgon heal, the Nagas had secretly dispatched a few inconspicuous subordinates to the First World to steal the Divine Nectar brewed by the Bee Insects.
And the subordinates were led by Hong Lin and a few others among the Nagas.
...
At this moment, several powerful forces in the universe quietly continued on their respective paths.
But no one would expect that a tremendous storm was about to arrive, sweeping across the entire universe.
And the fuse for all these events would soon be ignited by the insignificant figures of Huang Yi, Hong Lin, Fànyú, Zhuó Yèhuá, and Xue Tianyu on the small Blood Moon Continent.
...
After receiving the task to assassinate Zhuó Yèhuá from Fànyú, Xue Tianyu had been secretly waiting for a chance.
Every day, he would go to the beehive, amidst countless busy bees, gazing from afar at Zhuó Yèhuá sitting high on the King’s Platform.
Within the beehive, Zhuó Yèhuá was like an emperor, looking down on everything from above; Xue Tianyu simply couldn’t assassinate him.
Until this day, the opportunity finally came.
After mating with the ovary, Zhuó Yèhuá was utterly exhausted and desperately craved rest. Seeing that the brewing of Divine Nectar was on the right track, he finally decided to return to the demon clan’s main base to rest.
He left the King’s Platform, flapped his wings, and left the beehive alone, flying like rapid lightning towards the demon clan’s main base.
Xue Tianyu took a deep breath, tightly gripping the Brahmanic Rune in his hand, and followed after him.
"Lord Yehua!" Far from the beehive, upon reaching the vast barren plains with no one around, Xue Tianyu couldn’t help but call out to Zhuó Yèhuá who was rushing ahead.
Zhuó Yèhuá immediately halted his wings, turned his head to look at Xue Tianyu, and said in a tired tone, "Xue Tianyu, what do you want?"
"I recently acquired a treasure and wish to present it to you, my lord!" Xue Tianyu bowed respectfully, pretending to offer the Brahmanic Rune in his hand.
"Oh?" Zhuó Yèhuá’s interest was piqued, and the originally dull and lifeless eyes flashed with a glimmer, all attention drawn to the Brahmanic Rune in Xue Tianyu’s hand.
In that instant, Xue Tianyu suddenly erupted, the Brahmanic Rune in his hand surged with overwhelming demonic qi, rushing entirely towards Zhuó Yèhuá!
The opportunity came too quickly; Zhuó Yèhuá had no time to react and was brutally struck!
"Puff!" Zhuó Yèhuá’s body was blasted through with several terrifying large holes by the demonic qi, spilling blood everywhere. His body, already extremely weak, could no longer maintain its flying posture and fell straight from the air.
Xue Tianyu, flapping his blood-colored wings, drew a line of blood in the air, landing in front of Zhuó Yèhuá, looking down on him from above, ready to smash down his fist to end Zhuó Yèhuá’s life!
At this time, Zhuó Yèhuá, once a lofty Two Steps Heaven stronghold, lay weakly on the ground, no different from a small, ordinary person. Should Xue Tianyu’s strike hit, it would be instant death!
"Xue Tianyu, you court death!" Zhuó Yèhuá finally reacted, roared angrily, and stared at Xue Tianyu, his eyes blazing with fury!
Though he was gravely injured, his residual power remained; his roaring shout caused Xue Tianyu’s body to tremble, freezing him on the spot, his fist stopping abruptly in midair.
Xue Tianyu swallowed hard, tremblingly saying, "I’m sorry, Lord Yehua! I am under Lord Fànyú’s orders to kill you, otherwise, I would be the one to die."
"Fànyú!" Zhuó Yèhuá bitterly recited the name, "I knew he harbored ill intent, but I didn’t expect he would send someone to kill me so soon! Since that’s the case, I have nothing to restrain myself from!"
With that, the huge stinger on Zhuó Yèhuá’s lower body suddenly shot out a red liquid, spraying onto Xue Tianyu!
"Ah!" Xue Tianyu screamed miserably as the parts sprayed by the red liquid abruptly emitted intense, scorching pain, as if about to suffer to death.
Looking up at Xue Tianyu, Zhuó Yèhuá regained that calm demeanor, speaking leisurely, "Xue Tianyu, you’ve been poisoned by my bee venom; without my antidote potion, you’ll soon die. Now, you have only one way to live, and that is to serve me! If you go kill Fànyú, I will give you the antidote potion, and I will not pursue today’s matters. Besides, with Fànyú dead, you can forever free yourself from his coercion!"
Under the burning of the bee venom, Xue Tianyu writhed in pain, the feeling of death closing in clearly. He nodded with a pale face, hastily saying, "Lord Yehua, I, I am willing to serve you, just give me the antidote potion, and I will go assassinate Fànyú at once! I’ve long been loathsome of him! I’ll surely present his head before you!"
