Chapter 77 - Giant Bee

The enormous teleportation formation seemed to cover the sky, with a blue light enveloping the Five Elements Peak. Yanyan stood in the Void, his eyes slightly closed.

Suddenly, Yanyan opened his eyes and shouted, “Activate the teleportation!”

With Yanyan’s command, five people simultaneously channeled their magical power, with colorful lights madly infusing into the teleportation formation.

Propelled by the magical power, the formation began to spin rapidly, and a green door slowly opened.

The Azure Sky Sword let out a crisp sound, flew out of the body, and Leng Yan flipped onto it, transforming into a green streak of light rushing towards the green door.

Leng Yan’s actions were like a fuse, with tens of thousands of cultivators following closely behind, creating a magnificent spectacle!

Leng Yan was the first to enter the teleportation formation. As the light faded, he found himself in a dim space. Without any pause, he consumed the primordial spirit elixir, leaping into the immortal land, transforming into dust, and fleeing into the distance.

Leng Yan had to leave as quickly as possible. He could not afford to be caught up by Sun Hao and the others; facing three strong enemies all at once was something Leng Yan could not handle.

When the three of them split up, that would be the day Leng Yan claimed their lives!

Just after Leng Yan left, Li Nan and Wang Han appeared at the original spot, looking around but not seeing Leng Yan, they cursed angrily!

“This Leng Yan is indeed skillful. We followed him so closely, and he still managed to escape!”

“Let’s move quickly! The others are catching up!”

With that, the two of them also sped off into the distance at their fastest pace!

After the two left, more people kept appearing and dispersed in different directions…

Inside the immortal land, Leng Yan was constantly studying the map. According to its description, to the east was a vast ice field, inhabited by many water element demonic beasts, although some rare treasures existed there as well. Danger coexisted with wealth.

To the west was a primordial forest, also with demonic beasts. The south was the most dangerous area, marked by four red regions, indicating danger. The north was a vast ocean. The map showed that in all four directions, there were teleportation formations for leaving.

Leng Yan thought for a moment and decided to head south. Although that area was full of danger, with those three individuals present, nowhere was truly safe for Leng Yan!

According to the map, the route to the south required crossing several large rivers and multiple mountain ranges, estimating roughly tens of thousands of miles away!

To reach there quickly, sword control was essential for speed! Otherwise, at the current pace, it might take several months.

Extending his spiritual awareness to confirm no one was following, Leng Yan then leaped out of the immortal land, summoned the Azure Sky Sword, and transformed into a glowing arc heading south.

Wind blew through his hair as Leng Yan deployed his spiritual awareness to cover the surroundings, knowing that demonic beasts could appear at any moment, requiring constant vigilance.

A buzzing sound suddenly came from ahead, prompting Leng Yan to be on alert, quickly slowing his speed, and probing the source of the sound with his spiritual awareness like a sharp sword!

“This is no ordinary obstacle!”

Leng Yan’s spiritual awareness found several hundred towering ancient trees a few miles ahead, with each tree bearing massive round spheres-not fruits, but beehives.

Each beehive spanned hundreds of feet across, with one colossal hive connecting the roots of a hundred trees, extending nearly a thousand feet. Upon closer inspection, there were actually thousands of these massive hives, with each tree trunk covered with giant bees, each as large as a dog, appearing as dense foliage, although the trees were long since withered.

The giant bees, dog-sized, had stingers about an inch long, gleaming chillingly, with incredibly sharp mouthparts. Each bee emitted a power level above the magical power realm, with some even exuding an aura of the true essence realm and the Heavenly Realm.

Dozens of thousands of bees at the magical power realm were already troublesome, not to mention the Heavenly Realm giant bees, as large as calves, making Leng Yan wary not to act recklessly.

After some consideration, Leng Yan decided to take a detour. Just as he was preparing to leave, a massive golden-yellow giant bee, as large as a calf, flew out from the largest hive.

This giant bee buzzed loudly, leading tens of thousands of giant bees towards Leng Yan.

The speed of this golden-yellow giant bee was incredibly swift, its thin wings covering hundreds of feet with each beat. The aura it emitted was comparable to the unification realm.

Leng Yan realized that he must have entered the queen bee’s range of perception.

Seeing the oncoming swarm, Leng Yan felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his flying sword and headed towards the direction of the vast ocean.

While fleeing, Leng Yan didn’t forget to set up seals to slow down the swarm’s speed.

Behind him, there was a continuous sound of explosions. Given the queen bee’s strength, Leng Yan’s seals could be directly breached. Although they would cause it some trouble, they wouldn’t do any significant damage.

This only further infuriated the queen bee, its buzzing growing louder as the swarm of tens of thousands of giant bees accelerated.

“Chasing so closely, I’ll have to teach you a lesson!”

Leng Yan was also angered by the swarm. With a wave of his hand, a hundred Fiend Thunder explosives were hidden in the air, while Leng Yan sped up and quickly left the area.

“Detonate!”

Leng Yan smirked and softly commanded. The hundred Fiend Thunder explosives went off in the swarm, turning thousands of nearby giant bees into a burst of blood and flesh in an instant!

The rest of the giant bees, caught off guard, were also impacted by the explosions. Even the queen bee was left with a wound, its body swaying from the explosion’s force.

The explosion vented Leng Yan’s anger, but just as he was feeling pleased, two figures rapidly approached-Li Nan and Wang Han!

“Out of the tiger’s den, into the wolf’s lair. But perhaps I can make them fight each other and capitalize on the situation.”

Leng Yan’s heart skipped a beat, and then he quickly devised a clever plan. Upon seeing the two, he turned and flew towards the direction of the swarm.

“Worn out from searching, and now you want to run? Too late!” Wang Han’s eyes gleamed fiercely as his flying sword underneath him accelerated, closely pursuing Leng Yan. Li Nan paused briefly before following suit.

Meanwhile, the lightly injured queen bee grew more enraged, leading the remaining giant bees in a frantic search for Leng Yan’s trail.

At that moment, Leng Yan unexpectedly returned, with “helpers” trailing him. Instantly, the buzzing swelled as tens of thousands of giant bees converged and charged towards Leng Yan.

Caught between a swarm and two pursuers, Leng Yan and the queen bee closed the distance to under two hundred feet. A smile formed at the corner of Leng Yan’s lips as he burned five thousand primordial spirit elixirs, causing his figure to slowly fade away.

Leng Yan’s sudden disappearance left the queen bee in a fury, and all the anger was redirected onto Wang Han and Li Nan, who were behind Leng Yan.

“This isn’t good, it’s a trap! It’s the giant bee swarm! Fall back quickly!” Wang Han’s face changed drastically as he abruptly halted and swiftly retreated.

Li Nan, following closely behind, spun around on his flying sword and flew away with all his strength.

The queen bee, now enraged, led the swarm of tens of thousands of giant bees, their buzzing filling the skies as they gave chase. Meanwhile, Leng Yan hadn’t fled; he maneuvered the immortal land to land softly on the queen bee’s furry head.

Leng Yan took this risk because he recognized the swarm’s power. Just tens of thousands of giant bees had made Wang Han and Li Nan flee in terror.

If Leng Yan could control the queen bee, then with a hundred thousand giant bees, even a unification realm cultivator would flee in disarray.

Thus, Leng Yan risked staying on the queen bee, waiting for an opportunity to seize control of its body.

The swarm pursued the two cultivators relentlessly. Wang Han and Li Nan lacked seals and Fiend Thunder explosives. If they used any magical techniques, they would have to stop, so all they could do was run quickly.

“We can’t keep running; there’s a unification realm demonic beast ahead. If we provoke it, we’re truly doomed. With our combined strength, we can handle this swarm of tens of thousands of giant bees!” Li Nan suddenly stopped and turned, creating an illusionary mountain that crashed down towards the swarm.

The queen bee, moving like lightning, collided with the magical technique, causing the phantom mountain to explode into a shower of dirt.

“Alright, let’s give it all we’ve got! Attack!” Wang Han’s golden flying sword shot forth, slicing into the swarm.

Dozens of giant bees in the magical power realm were sliced in half!

“Buzz…”

The queen bee seemed to give a signal, and thousands of giant bees in the magical power realm arched their bodies, shooting their poison needles like crossbow bolts.

Thousands of poison needles rained down like a storm! Li Nan hastily erected a defensive barrier and leaped back.

Although the poison needles were blocked, it was far from over. The bees that had launched the needles suddenly vanished, reappearing close to Wang Han and Li Nan.

“Boom! Boom!”

Thousands of giant bees in the magical power realm self-destructed simultaneously, creating a massive shockwave. But most terrifying was the poison fog released after their self-destruction, spreading through the air.

“No wonder they fled despite their strength rivaling the unification realm; they feared the poison fog from the giant bees’ self-destruction. Luckily, I didn’t face it, or I would’ve been caught off guard. Now that I know, I’ll have to be extra cautious!” Leng Yan thought, shocked.
