Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 790, Black Stone

Buzz!

"Intruding my dwelling without permission, die!"

The Heaven-devouring Bee King could now speak human language, staring at Chu Ming with fury.

Boom!

The Heaven-devouring Bee King did not move, but countless greyish-white vortices suddenly appeared around it, spewing out streams of grey air currents at an incredibly fast speed, invisible to the naked eye.

Instinctively, Chu Ming raised his Azure Sky Sword, stepped forward, and his Sword Momentum swept across the starry sky. The Sword Aura burst from the blade in an instant, flashing sharply.

Ding ding ding...

The grey air currents collided with the blade, sparking with countless fire stars before being completely deflected by the Azure Sky Sword.

Boom!

"Heaven-Burying Sword!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Facing the Heaven-devouring Bee King, Chu Ming dared not use the Blood Gang Explosion Flame Needle and Celestial Extinction Swordsmanship, for the power of Top Tier Secrets Martial Arts was too immense. Chu Ming was afraid of accidentally blasting the Heaven-devouring Bee King to death.

Nonetheless, when these three Sword Auras tore through the space, a flash of fear flickered in the Heaven-devouring Bee King's eyes.

Boom!

The Heaven-devouring Bee King would not sit and wait for death. Its eyes turned savage, and from its terrifying wings, a hazy golden light emanated, forming a defensive shield in front of it in an instant.

Puff!

Crack! Crack!

The three Sword Auras flashed, instantly splitting the golden light shield in front of the Heaven-devouring Bee King into four parts, shattering the star river.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Three blood streaks cut across the Heaven-devouring Bee King's body, and almost in an instant, the Heaven-devouring Bee King's Life Force weakened by seventy percent.

Swoosh!

Such a good opportunity, how could Chu Ming miss it? Chu Ming instantly jumped, appearing above the Heaven-devouring Bee King's head. Both hands formed countless seals in an instant, transforming into a cyan "slave" character imprint, pressing towards the Heaven-devouring Bee King.

Boom!

"No!!" As if realizing its imminent fate, the Heaven-devouring Bee King screeched, and a golden light ball shot from its mouth, tearing the Void, with countless grey air waves floating in the air.

Boom!

However, the slave imprint directly pierced through the golden light ball, blasting into the Heaven-devouring Bee King's mind. When the smoke cleared, the Heaven-devouring Bee King looked battered, with countless wounds on its skin surface.

"Phew!"

Chu Ming exhaled gently. In his mind, he could sense a subtle connection between him and the Heaven-devouring Bee King. He could easily control its life.

"Greetings, Master!"

The Heaven-devouring Bee King immediately prostrated itself on the ground, respectfully kowtowing to Chu Ming.

The slave imprint from the Evil Celestial Emperor's soul memory not only controlled the Heaven-devouring Bee King's life but also subtly altered its loyalty.

"Rise!"

Chu Ming said indifferently, but his heart was overjoyed. Controlling the Heaven-devouring Bee King meant he had control over the entire Heaven-devouring Bee clan.

"How many Heaven-devouring Bees are there in this cave?"

Chu Ming asked the Heaven-devouring Bee King.

"Reporting to Master, there are now a total of more than two thousand six hundred Heaven-devouring Bees in this cave. Most are not yet adults, with over three hundred adults!"

The Heaven-devouring Bee King replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Chu Ming slightly nodded. Adult Heaven-devouring Bees possessed Low Tier Life and Death Realm King-level combat strength, while the immature ones only held Realm of Transcendence strength.

However, having more than three hundred adult Heaven-devouring Bees far exceeded Chu Ming's expectations.

"How long have you been in this cave?"

Chu Ming inquired again.

"I have been in this cave for over three hundred years. Our Heaven-devouring Bee clan has also been reproducing in this cave for over three hundred years."

The Heaven-devouring Bee King responded respectfully.

"Three hundred years?" Chu Ming murmured, three hundred years, a mere instant for cultivators, yet quite short for the reproduction of Heaven-devouring Bees.

"Have you ever seen the Nine Pastures Cloud Map in this cave?"

Chu Ming fished out a few healing elixirs from his storage ring, throwing them into the Heaven-devouring Bee King's mouth, and asked calmly.

"Nine Pastures Cloud Map? Never seen it. But there is a mysterious area deep in the cave where I have never dared to venture. Perhaps the Nine Pastures Cloud Map is there!"

The Heaven-devouring Bee King pondered for a moment before replying.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Heaven-devouring Bee King's body moved lightly, returning to the hive. Shortly after, it flew out again, carrying a black stone about a meter in diameter on its back, an eerie sight.

"Master, this is a treasure I found here three hundred years ago, and today I present it to you!"

The Heaven-devouring Bee King prostrated before Chu Ming, speaking with a hint of flattery.

"Hmm?"

Chu Ming's expression was uncertain as he drew the eerie black stone closer, examining it quietly.

The black stone was crystalline throughout, absorbing all surrounding light, and what shocked Chu Ming the most was the vast Qi Blood Power contained within.

This Qi Blood Power caused Chu Ming's blood and flesh cells to tremble slightly.

"If I absorb the Qi Blood Power in this black stone, perhaps my Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique can break through the Third Layer!"

Chu Ming thought excitedly, then asked the Heaven-devouring Bee King, "I want to take you all out of here. Do you have any good methods?"

The Heaven-devouring Bee clan was too large to be conveniently taken out, but Chu Ming couldn't abandon them.

"I will call back the other Heaven-devouring Bees and shrink the hive, hiding it within Master's soul!"

The Heaven-devouring Bee King said respectfully, then began muttering obscure words, causing a buzzing sound to resonate in the surrounding space.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless Heaven-devouring Bees converged into the hive from other places, entering orderly. Soon, all the Heaven-devouring Bees were inside, and the Heaven-devouring Bee King finally landed in the largest hive.

In an instant, the entire hive emitted a hazy golden yellow light, shrinking and floating towards Chu Ming.

Buzz!

A strange sensation arose in Chu Ming's heart. Looking inward, he found a golden ball of light appearing in his mind, precisely the hive.

"Phew!"

Only after the hive settled in his mind did Chu Ming heave a sigh of relief.

He wasn't planning to delve deeper into the cave immediately but instead, wanted to absorb the Qi Blood Power from the black stone, thus enhancing his survival strength.

Finding a random spot, Chu Ming placed the black stone before him, resting his right hand on it, while silently reciting the Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique's incantation. His blood and flesh cells transformed into a black hole, frantically absorbing the Qi Blood Power from the black stone.
