With full strength and a move with two styles, the Devil Marshal was killed by the heaven aura fist energy in the punch.
Lin Liqiang looked up at Qin Fen, who gave the impression of a god defeating a devil and clucked his tongue again and again. “This move is way too environmentally friendly! Old Qin, this Devil Marshal is very valuable research material, you should not have smashed it into meat sauce.”
There were countless devil beasts in the woods, yet the scene was so quiet that one could even hear the drop of a needle clearly. The supreme commander to whom all the devil beasts in the world were loyal to was the Queen Bee, not the Devil Marshal.
For the Queen Bee, they could launch endless waves of attacks where the rear would immediately take up the front when the front fell and launch suicide attacks even when they knew that they could not turn the tables. But they would never launch suicide charges for the dead Devil Marshal.
All of a sudden, those dumbstruck devil monsters turned around and started running in the opposite direction.
The Lion-Scorpion Chimera also wanted to retreat but there was someone blocking its retreat. The grim-looking Du Peng directly launched an attack without thinking much.
The devil beasts were also wise; they could distinguish between strong and weak. When Qin Fen attacked, his invincible aura of power caused the Lion-Scorpion Chimera to lose the courage to fight. Due to its instinct to preserve its life, it knew that Du Peng must be killed for it to have a chance to escape.
Attack! The wings at the back of the Lion-Scorpion Chimera shook as it clawed down along the median with its two front legs, rearing its ten gleaming claws. Du Peng, on the other hand, grabbed his opponent’s paws with both hands instead of defending and pushed them on either side fiercely. His spine rose and fell like a dragon’s back as he erupted with a sudden force using the Flying with Both Wings move!
RIP! The Lion-Scorpion Chimera had its paws ripped by its wrist! The moment its blood splashed everywhere, Du Peng had the upper hand. He stepped on its chest with his left leg, cutting open a two feet long wound on his opponent’s chest using the Flying Bird Stepping on the Fist from the Phaseless Water Bird Art. Immediately after, he twisted his ankle fiercely, creating a gaping wound through its chest that was a foot or so wide in diameter, crushing the wings on its back forcefully.
BANG!
The Devil General slumped heavily on the ground, raising a bit of dust before losing its life.
Du Peng, on the other hand, was hovering calmly in the air, without even bothering to pay so much as a glance at the dead Devil General. At this moment, Qin Fen felt that Du Peng, who had been silent these last years, had begun to show his sharp fangs!
In the icy hall, Number One mumbled in disbelief after a silence of two seconds, “So fast!?”
Over these years, Qilin or other divine beasts no longer tried to enter different dimensions. All have been waiting for the super nano battle suits, carrying out the preparations for the final battle. Humans had not achieved such great results for a long time already, especially so quickly.
Number One discovered that his initial worries regarding them were really unnecessary. This group of younger generation martial artists had really grown up!
“Qin Fen, you lots are safe for a certain period of time.” Number One made a quick call through the communicator, “According to the data, every Devil Marshal has a special spiritual connection with the Queen Bee. If a Devil Marshal dies, the Queen Bee will be the first to know. Under ordinary circumstances, the Queen Bee will kill you as quickly as possible. If you want to take away a part of the metal mine, you have to be fast, extremely fast. Now, open the map immediately, I will help you calculate the time.”
New metal and new energy! Only after entering the Founding Society did Qin Fen become completely aware that they weren’t the special product of Saturn, but products from Pandora.
Because Pandora leaned towards physical evolution rather than technological evolution, the objects that were absolutely invaluable in the eyes of human beings were like roadside pebbles in the eyes of devil beasts.
According to the information provided by Number One, the place where Qin Fen landed had new metal and new energy mines. Unfortunately, because of the existence of devil marshals and the fact that human experts were suppressed after entering this dimension, these things had gone unnoticed.
Today, the scythe devil beast legion was instantly destroyed by four people. Although there were innumerable devil beasts in the Sea of Beasts, under Qin Fen’s fierce aura of power that was like that of a devil king, the devil beasts legion was acting far more cleverly than before. Plus, there were those combat robots that were solely made for killing; they were definitely a trump card.
“Hurry up! The Queen Bee is already on the move.”
Number One was staring at the huge projection screen. Instead of flying by herself, Queen Bee was sitting on the back of a bat-like creature the size of a private airplane, flying towards them at high speed.
“By my estimation, she will reach you in two hours and fifty-two minutes.”
Qin Fen and the other three glanced at each other. Converging their strength, they landed on the ground quickly and ran all the way to the new metal mine following the electronic map.
One could fight a devil marshal but one could never fight the Queen Bee! Qin Fen and the others were very clear about this. Even a divine beast martial artist could not defeat her in a one-on-one situation at full force. Even if his current aura of power skyrocketed, Qin Fen still didn’t have any chance of winning against her.
An apex-level constellation warrior in the nineteen-star level and with heaven aura true energy could still not be an opponent for a divine beast martial artist.
Only when one had truly stepped into the ranks of a constellation warrior could they only clearly understand the strength of a divine beast martial artist. The heaven aura true energy was similar to the qualitative change brought by the Phoenix Nirvana, but this kind of qualitative change gave the feeling that it wasn’t the highest qualitative change. Moreover, after stepping into the realm of heaven aura true energy, Qin Fen could feel that his demand for energy had almost reached the point of thirst and hunger.
Qin Fen had always felt that the true energy in his body was sufficient since he finished the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth. His true energy could spread all over his body with a flash of thought. The sense of satiated power could not be described in words.
But after the endless expansion spreading to the heaven aura recently, Qin Fen suddenly felt hungry. It wasn’t that his stomach was hungry rather, his body hungered for true energy; eager to absorb more true energy into the body.
And because of this hunger, Qin Fen could have a preliminary estimate of the strength of a divine beast martial artist. He began to slowly understand why the divine beast martial artists could use absolute martial strength to become the top existence of a planet.
Run, run, run, and run!
Qin Fen had never ran like this before, for hundreds of kilometers. There was no need to consider stopping for his companions in this area that was devoid of any danger for the time being.
A huge mountain. Eighteen intertwined streams of dragon fist energy swished through the air and crashed straight into this tall mountain.
In ordinary people’s opinion, a constellation warrior was strong enough to destroy the world. Back then when Qin Fen fought at Hallasan, just the fight between two experts had destroyed the peak of Hallasan completely. And today, when he was a nineteen-star level constellation warrior with the heaven aura, an almost apex-level existence, the tall peak began to collapse after shaking a few times as ores and rocks flew everywhere.
BANG BANG…BANG BANG…BANG BANG…
In the next moment, about a hundred combat robots rushed to the foot of the mountain one after another and started collecting the ores on the ground without a moment of delay. The vacant space on their back — the space that used to have missiles but they had already fired them — was used for loading the ores.
“Unfortunately…” Lin Liqiang, looking at the ores scattered everywhere on the ground, sighed again and again. “Even the space scientists of the Founding Society can’t develop a portable space. Otherwise, these ores…”
Portable Space!? This was an ideal type of storage space that Qin Fen had learned about in his high school physics class. But that kind of thing still remained a figment of imagination; before the huge energy problem could be solved, all other technical discussions were inconsequential.
“Old Qin…”
Xue Tian’s voice came through the communicator. “Just a short time ago, the new energy mine near the place we landed has been swept clean. A lot of new energy has been collected already. I think it’s time we withdraw! Number One said that the Queen Bee has just left on the bat angrily…”
Qin Fen raised his head, looking at the rift that had just appeared in the sky. Apparently, it was due to Xue Tian killing the devil marshals. The Queen Bee was really angry after having lost two or even three devil marshals in a day.
“Let’s go!”
The combat robots began to take off as jets of flames appeared underneath their feet. Just as Qin Fen turned and entered the rift, a sharp screech suddenly echoed throughout the sky; the Queen Bee had arrived!
So fast! Qin Fen realized that he had underestimated the Queen Bee’s speed. But what was even more unexpected was the Queen Bee could actually hide her aura even when she was moving at such high speed, making it next to impossible for them to detect the arrival of the huge crisis looming over their head.
The Queen Bee was too fast. The four young experts and a large part of combat robots might have already entered the rift but there were still some combat robots that were unable to enter the rift.
“Damn! Explode for me!” Lin Liqiang, looking at that hastily closing rift, issued a command using his psychic strength…
ROAR! The Queen Bee also opened her mouth at that moment; her opened mouth was like a huge net as it swallowed a combat robot instantly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Three exposed combat robots exploded simultaneously. A dazzling fiery glow dyed the entire sky with deafening explosions, forming a huge fireball.
Suddenly, the Queen Bee’s throat swelled before the combat robot slipped down her throat all the way to her abdomen.
“It didn’t explode…” Number One’s voice quivered in surprise. “It actually didn’t explode! Her body has a special ability to block psychic power!?”
Gulu…gulu…gulu…
The anger of the Queen Bee that was floating in the air slowly subsided. Her bee-like face resembled a human’s as a smile appeared on it. Much to everyone’s surprise, the Queen Bee was smiling even after losing three devil marshals.
AOOOOO…
Her excited roar sore through the sky. The trees and branches around her shook continuously as the rustling of leaves covered the entire forest.
Right then, the Queen Bee’s stomach began to swell before it began to wriggle in the next moment. Suddenly, a huge round hole opened on her rear, evolving into a foot-long steel needle.
Gululu…
A giant white egg that was a meter in diameter and covered in viscous liquid fell on the ground and rolled to the foot of the tree before coming to a stop.
Crack…crack…
The huge white egg cracked open as a new devil beast broke out of the shell with its head raised high. It could not be considered tall among its kinds with its two-meter height but its appearance made Qin Fen’s scalp tingle.
Its skin was as shiny as metal. It had eight eyes on its head that could observe any angle. Its chest had two special holes that bore a striking resemblance with the six-tube Gatling gun. Its thick tail struck the ground heavily, burning the weeds to cinders wherever it passed.
This is evolutionary spawning! Qin Fen was actually participating in the Queen Bee’s laying of eggs for the first time.
To everyone’s surprise and dismay, a new species similar to the combat robot had appeared. It stood quietly, without moving even a bit. Unlike the creatures birthed by Queen Bee in the past that started moving after breaking the shell, this new species stood still.
“It’s…actually like combat robots…which needs to be controlled by humans…” Number One’s voice filled with surprise rang again. “This creature’s combat power should not be stronger than the combat robot. It will not play any most important role in the world of devil beast, but why is the Queen Bee smiling? It has already lost three devil marshals today.”
Not too long ago, Qin Fen killed the Scythe Devil Monster, while insect warrior Young Hades blasted another devil marshal with its three devil generals into smithereens before Xue Tian and the others could kill the other devil beast, grabbing a batch of new metal and energy at the same time.
Unlike Qin Fen and the others, Young Hades didn’t need the assistance of a super nano battle suit. His strange body could adapt to the environment of the two worlds.
“Perhaps…” Lin Liqiang concluded carefully. “What she is happy about isn’t the fact that she will able to produce this species in the future, but because she has collected something new that can make up for the Emperor she wants to conceive.”
Number One sunk into a rarely seen silence as the Emperor was brought up. Its silence wasn’t because it was thinking, rather, this silence gave everyone the impression that it was afraid. Even if it only had a brain left, it was still afraid when the Emperor was brought up.
If the problem of space-to-space transformation restriction was cast aside, someone as strong as Queen Bee was already near invincible. Then, how strong would the perfect Emperor be?
“Before…before the Emperor is born…” Number One’s voice sounded cold and determined. “The Queen Bee must be killed!”
Qin Fen nodded in agreement. Nipping dangers in the budding stage was the smart choice. As for letting the opposite party give birth to the Emperor just to see how the perfect creature would look like… just that notion was already foolish!
“Old Qin, after seeing the devil marshal, do you think that your God Killer…” Xue Tian patted Qin Fen’s shoulder and asked, “Can stand a chance?”
“It does!” Qin Fen nodded with confidence before a look of helplessness surfaced on his face. “But the premise is that it hits them.”
During this brief battle, he got to know the devil beast’s sharp senses. A powerful devil beast would always notice the sniper locking on to them, which was no different than taking a sniper to attack a martial dao master.
It could kill but it had to hit first! In today’s Federation, there are maybe three people who could kill devil marshal-level devil beasts with the God Killer, but only two of them were alive now. And the only one who really had the time to use sniper was Lin Ling.
“That’s better! As for whether it can hit or not, we don’t need to consider it for the time being. It might be good enough just to scare them.” Xue Tian was filled with optimism. “Besides, you can use it to lock on to them during the battle, creating enough opportunities for your companions. Anyway, we still have to transport these metals and energy back first.”
“Alright…”
“Wait!” Number One suddenly interrupted. “I just received a message. You might receive it soon but I’ll let you know in advance. This message was sent by the current four divine beast experts together.”
An utter silence covered the entire hall. A piece of news released by a divine beast martial artist often brought many changes in the Federation. For instance, when Mercury’s Azure Dragon lost his mind and announced Mercury’s independence, no one knew what would become of the Federation next.
All four divine beasts releasing news together had never happened since the divine beast martial artists came into existence. What the hell is this news that made the four divine beasts release it together?
