Without any warning, the Queen Bee's slaughter stopped. Within a ten-kilometer radius, all the powerhouses had died, a total of over a thousand people, one-third of whom were mid-tier powerhouses.
The thought alone was terrifying. One had to realize that becoming an invincible powerhouse meant being a king or an ancestor in a world. As for a mid-tier, they were the rulers of a world or ruled several worlds.
Yet, now, over a thousand such powerhouses had died in an instant. This was the fury of a high-tier powerhouse.
Shen Yue and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were filled with anger and unwillingness. Half of their forces had died!
If reinforcements hadn't arrived, they would have been left with less than a hundred people.
Such a loss was immense. Especially since Li Xiaotian had not been captured, which made Shen Yue feel angry and incredibly frustrated.
As a Heavenly Maiden of the Divine Race, she had never suffered such a humiliating blow.
Moreover, after Li Xiaotian escaped, it would be extremely difficult for her to force him into such a predicament again.
"Leave! Everyone return to the Great Dao Tree, and inform the Fire God of what happened here!"
Shen Yue snorted coldly and led her people to flee into the distance.
At the same time, Li Xiaotian and the little Kui snake also fled in the opposite direction, his heart filled with lingering fear. He had almost messed up this time.
Fortunately, he ran fast. Otherwise, he would have truly perished. Who would he reason with then?
"Teacher, please save my parents!"
The little Kui snake transmitted its consciousness. Its intelligence had been awakened by Li Xiaotian, allowing it to evolve like a normal sentient being.
After speaking, a scene appeared in the little Kui snake's Great Dao space. It was a valley not far from their current location, where two Kui snakes, covered in wounds, were curled up together, surrounded by seals.
It turned out that Tuoba Tao and the others had been pursued by the two Kui snakes. Finally, near the Great Dao Tree, they had invited many helpers. Together, they had severely injured the two Kui snakes. Just as they were about to divide them, Shen Yue and the other two summoned everyone to hunt Li Xiaotian. Therefore, they had sealed the two Kui snakes, planning to deal with them later.
Tuoba Tao had not died!
Upon seeing this, Li Xiaotian agreed without hesitation. After all, these were two invincible sixth-tier powerhouses. If he helped them change their intelligence, it would be equivalent to gaining two invincible sixth-tier helpers for himself.
And they were very powerful invincible sixth-tier powerhouses. Without intelligence, the two Kui snakes had already sent Tuoba Tao and the others fleeing in disarray, even forcing them to call for help to surround and kill them.
This was enough to prove the power of these two Kui snakes.
Once their intelligence became like that of normal people, and they could change their forms and hide their auras, their strength would likely increase severalfold!
"Let's go, let's save your parents first," Li Xiaotian said. The little Kui snake immediately headed towards the valley where its parents were located.
At the same time, Tuoba Tao, who was following Shen Yue's army, had a flicker in his eyes. He found Gu Kun. Their strength was only mid-to-upper tier among the army summoned by Shen Yue. They were also quite lucky and were not covered by Shen Yue's light screen, so they both survived.
The two exchanged glances, quietly left the army, and headed in one direction.
After all, two sixth-tier Kui snakes were worth them taking a risk. Moreover, those who knew about these two Kui snakes had already died in the battle, so they could each obtain a Kui snake.
This was an unimaginable opportunity, so they chose to leave the army without hesitation, risking being discovered by Shen Yue and facing punishment.
Meanwhile, the damaged Dragon Beehive was restored to its original state. In a special space deep within the hive, a young girl in white slowly emerged from the void.
Before her, all the Dragon Bees prostrated themselves on the ground.
She was the Queen Bee who had transformed into human form.
The Queen Bee toyed with a black sphere in her hand, her gaze seeming to penetrate the entire hive and look towards the distance, in the direction Li Xiaotian had left.
As a high-tier powerhouse, she could know everything with a single thought. She had already understood the whole story.
"To attract external enemies to disturb my slumber, they deserved death! But to help me escape, they deserve a reward! This time, I'll spare you!"
The Queen Bee murmured, her eyes cold. The black sphere in her hand flowed, and it could be seen that the black sphere vibrated from time to time. Each time it vibrated, invisible rule powers would suddenly appear around the Queen Bee's body.
The creator of this world's rules would probably never have imagined that after countless years, the rules he had set would be broken by someone.
At this moment, the Queen Bee had completely broken free from the suppression of this world's rule powers. This meant that she would be the only high-tier powerhouse in this world who could move freely without any difficulty.
"It's time to meet some old friends from the past," the Queen Bee muttered to herself. With a stride, she instantly disappeared from her original spot.
Soon, the little Kui snake arrived at a valley. Roars echoed from the valley, and terrifying pressure erupted, causing countless weak creatures around the valley to tremble.
After all, these two Kui snakes were considered overlords of this world.
In the valley, two massive Kui snakes were curled up together. Their bodies filled the entire valley, immense in size.
At this moment, they sensed the little Kui snake's aura. Their massive pupils looked over. They looked at the little Kui snake on the ground, like a small snake, their eyes filled with excitement and confusion.
Excited that their offspring was still alive, confused as to why it had become smaller?
Of course, with their intelligence, they couldn't possibly understand what was happening.
"Father! Mother!"
The little Kui snake transmitted its consciousness, its body instantly growing larger, filled with excitement.
Although his intelligence was now that of a seventeen-year-old, to him, he was still just a child who had just left his parents' embrace, so he was very excited at this moment.
The two Kui snakes let out affectionate hisses, their eyes becoming gentle. Their child had returned.
"Heh, what a surprise. I didn't expect this little beast to not die and to have found its way here!"
In the little Kui snake's Great Dao space, just as Li Xiaotian was about to come out, a voice suddenly rang out, filled with excitement and arrogance.
It was Tuoba Tao and Gu Kun. The two of them had arrived!
