Chapter 390: Chapter 228: Order Beast: Blood Ripple Tumi

Previously, the Rejection Crystal Bee could only absorb Earth Attribute Magnetic Material using its Skill, Magnetic Reproduction.

But now, the Crystal Seal Star Bee could absorb Magnetic Material of any attribute.

This greatly expanded the Crystal Seal Star Bee’s diet!

The Crystal Seal Star Bee’s current behavior was due to the Skill, Female Bee Servant, which the Rejection Crystal Bee had obtained upon its promotion to the Extraordinary Tier.

The Crystal Seal Star Bee was expelling its Queen Bee Magnetic Paste to cultivate mother bees that it could completely control—mother bees that could independently produce their own paste to nurture the young.

These cultivated mother bees were essentially the Crystal Seal Star Bee’s extensions, responsible for expanding the swarm.

From now on, the Crystal Seal Star Bee only needed to keep itself in peak condition.

After accumulating enough Queen Bee Magnetic Paste, it could simply use its Female Bee Servant Skill to produce new mother bees.

With the Female Bee Servant Skill, it was now much easier for the Crystal Seal Star Bee to expand its swarm.

The number of worker bees was directly tied to the Crystal Seal Star Bee’s Defense Ability.

One could say that the Female Bee Servant Skill alone greatly increased the Crystal Seal Star Bee’s value.

It even boosted its Defense Ability by several tiers.

High-Energy Star Attraction, the Exclusive Trait the Crystal Seal Star Bee gained upon reaching Gold Quality, was another ability that utilized worker bees for defense.

However, this Exclusive Trait didn’t just provide defense; it also amplified the Crystal Seal Star Bee’s other Exclusive Traits: Absolute Exclusion and Energy Shield Reversal.

When faced with an Energy attack that was difficult to block, the Crystal Seal Star Bee could dispatch multiple worker bees to absorb the Energy collectively.

This would not only neutralize the enemy’s Energy attack but also allow the worker bees to store that Energy within their bodies.

The Exclusive Trait Absolute Exclusion converted Magnetic Force into Repulsive Force, pushing away all designated objects in the vicinity.

Sacrificing the worker bees could not only extend the duration of the Repulsive Force but also increase its intensity.

Furthermore, when worker bees that had absorbed the enemy’s Energy were sacrificed, the greater amount of Energy within them provided an additional boost to the effects of Absolute Exclusion.

The Magnetic Shield created by sacrificing worker bees, via the Exclusive Trait Energy Shield Reversal, would also be far sturdier than before.

The Exclusive Trait High-Energy Star Attraction could only unleash its true power when there were multiple worker bees available.

If the Crystal Seal Star Bee had obtained an Exclusive Trait like this in the past, Zhong Yi wouldn’t necessarily have been overjoyed.

But now, with the complementary Female Bee Servant Skill, the Crystal Seal Star Bee was destined to never lack for worker bees.

After completing its Evolution, the Crystal Seal Star Bee flapped its wings, transformed into a streak of light, and landed back on the Button on Zhong Yi’s collar.

Zhong Yi looked down and touched the Crystal Seal Star Bee with his index finger. The bee immediately hopped onto his fingertip.

Zhong Yi thought to himself, ’Wearing the Crystal Seal Star Bee as an ornament now would be a bit too conspicuous.’

’They say the most beautiful of all Insect Guardian Beasts are the creatures that possess the Bloodline of the Beauty Goddess Butterfly.’

’But if there were ever a beauty pageant for Insect Guardian Beasts...’

’I don’t think the Crystal Seal Star Bee’s current form would lose to any of those Butterfly Guardian Beasts with the Beauty Goddess Butterfly Bloodline.’

Right now, Zhong Yi still had nearly 900 milliliters of Flowing Soul Soil on hand.

This amount of Flowing Soul Soil would be stretching it to strengthen his remaining three Guardian Beasts, including the Resurrection Celestial Lord.

Zhong Yi planned to enhance his Order Beast, the Resurrection Celestial Lord, last.

After all, aside from the core and bark of the Holy Healing Celestial Wood, Star Night had yet to deliver the other materials Zhong Yi needed to cultivate the Resurrection Celestial Lord.

Ice Glaze had been absorbing Cold River Essence for several days already, so cultivating it probably wouldn’t require much Flowing Soul Soil.

Just as Zhong Yi was about to summon Ice Glaze from his Soul Base to begin its cultivation,

a dark, damp sensation suddenly flooded Zhong Yi’s mind, like the feeling of plant roots slithering through a sewer.

Before Zhong Yi could react, a sharp cry rang out.

"You, a Bizarre from the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, dare come to the Xin Xia Federation and break the rules!"

"How dare you probe a Heaven’s Chosen Mansion!"

"And even plot to assassinate the Creator within!"

"The audacity! Are you trying to declare war on the Xin Xia Federation?"

The instant that sharp cry echoed, the scene outside the window transformed completely.

Massive, vibrant red flowers erupted from the ground.

Each of these vibrant red blossoms possessed dozens of thread-like petals, thirty to forty centimeters in length.

After bursting from the soil, these vibrant red flowers shot toward a single point in the sky like massive, grasping hands.

A plume of purplish-black flame suddenly flared in the sky.

The instant the red flowers touched this purplish-black fire, they were completely consumed by the flames.

A wild, arrogant laugh echoed through the sky above Zhong Yi’s mansion.

"I never thought the renowned Flower Venerable would be here, in a Heaven’s Chosen Mansion in Starlight City, instead of standing guard over Beihan City."

"But the Eternal Tier is still the Eternal Tier. No matter how close you are to the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, you are fundamentally different."

"I came here on a commission. I’ll leave as soon as I’ve taken the life of this Five-finger Creator."

"Flower Venerable, you can’t stop me. It’s best you don’t meddle."

The moment the voice faded, a creature with the torso of a man and the body of a horse emerged from the purplish-black flames.

Its dark-red, nearly four-meter-long equine body was battered and broken.

Ghastly white bone was visible in many places, and its vital areas were covered in a thick, bizarre-looking layer of bone armor.
