Chapter 549: Just a Saint King!

The Bee Ant Race, as its name suggests, resembles bees and ants, with transparent wings on their backs. If that were all, this alien race wouldn't be particularly strange, but they possess human faces, making them appear eerie.

Whether it was the Twin Race, or the Snow Maiden and Ice Man, they at least possessed aesthetic beauty in their appearance, whereas the Bee Ant Race only made one feel awkward.

"Very good. Remain vigilant. If reinforcements arrive, temporarily abandon the Hanyuan Battlefield."

Upon hearing the Bee Ant Race's report, the Ice Man nodded.

The Bee Ant Race member perched on his shoulder was very weak, merely a Quasi-God, equivalent to a Half-Saint in the Canglan Realm.

In a battle between Upper Gods and Great Sages, such a Bee Ant Race member wouldn't even count as cannon fodder. However, even a Bee Ant Race member in the War King Realm was quite excellent at relaying information and should not be underestimated.

Within a thousand light-years radius, a certain number of Bee Ant Race members were distributed. Their Realms were not high, but they were skilled at hiding, like hidden surveillance cameras. Once other beings intruded, these Bee Ant Race members would detect them immediately, then activate their innate Divine Ability to share their memories. Other members of the same race within a certain range would then know what happened.

The Quasi-God Realm Bee Ant Race member was considered a minor leader within a thousand light-years radius. Other weaker Bee Ant Race members would immediately share any abnormalities they discovered with him.

Therefore, once a powerful expert from the Canglan Realm approached, he would be able to detect it immediately.

The Snow Maiden and Ice Man's goal was to capture the Hanyuan Battlefield, eliminate Great Sage Huang Yu and his two companions, and then guard the place themselves.

The Hanyuan Battlefield was originally a Formation cornerstone brought in by the alien race, and it was specially refined according to the alien race's innate Divine Ability, so only the alien race could fully unleash the Formation's power.

Once the Snow Maiden and Ice Man successfully reclaimed it and jointly presided over the battlefield to manage the Formation, they could resist even Late-Stage Great Sage experts.

However, during the assault, they would also be wary. Before breaking the Formation, if they discovered powerful reinforcements from the Canglan Realm arriving, they would retreat in time.

"An incident occurred on the Two Realms Battlefield; Heavenly God Shui Zhui and Huo Yan Celestial God have perished."

On the Ice Man's shoulder, the Bee Ant Race member transmitted another piece of intelligence.

"What?!"

Both the Ice Man and Snow Maiden were startled, causing the speed of their attacks on the Formation to subconsciously slow down.

The Twin Race was extremely difficult to kill, a fact known not only by Cultivators in the Canglan Realm but also universally acknowledged among the alien races.

Only races with even more Heaven-Defying innate Divine Abilities, like the Nightmare God Clan, could restrain them.

It could be said that throughout the long years of battle with the Canglan Realm, the Twin Race had the lowest mortality rate.

The very few Twin Race members who perished were due to special circumstances, with the vast majority being due to their own overconfidence leading them into unfavorable situations, and then coincidentally encountering Canglan Realm Cultivators far exceeding their strength.

"What exactly happened?"

The Snow Maiden couldn't help but ask.

"They didn't bring any members of my race, so the specifics are unknown. Perhaps those top Great Sages from the East Xuan Realm Pass made a move, or perhaps it was a Quasi-Emperor."

The Quasi-God Realm Bee Ant Race member said.

The Bee Ant Race was indeed considered the intelligence eyes of the alien races, but they couldn't monitor all Void Battlefields. Some places were too dangerous, guarded by top experts of the Canglan Realm, so ordinary Bee Ant Race members dared not approach. Sometimes other alien races also didn't want to bring Bee Ant Race members into battle, preventing the Bee Ant Race from knowing the specific situation. The most typical example of this was the Twin Race.

"These are the bitter fruits of arrogance!"

The Ice Man snorted coldly.

The Twin Race's innate Divine Ability was extremely abnormal; it was both a blessing and a curse for them. Their extremely strong survival ability led most Twin Race members to become conceited.

Many Twin Race members felt that the Bee Ant Race's combat strength was weak and a burden. Unless under special circumstances, they would not act with Bee Ant Race members. Heavenly God Shui Zhui and Huo Yan Celestial God went to the Two Realms Battlefield, confident they wouldn't get lost in the Void Realm, and went in a hurry, so they didn't specifically bring a sufficiently powerful Bee Ant Race member with them, leading to the events on the Two Realms Battlefield not being reported immediately.

Heavenly God Shui Zhui and Huo Yan Celestial God went to the Two Realms Battlefield, confident they wouldn't get lost in the Void Realm, and went in a hurry, so they didn't specifically bring a sufficiently powerful Bee Ant Race member with them, leading to the events on the Two Realms Battlefield not being reported immediately.

"Information about the Two Realms Battlefield is missing, so we cannot determine who made the move. Shui Zhui and Huo Yan perished simultaneously; we don't know how the opponent accomplished it. We must be careful and retreat immediately if anything seems amiss!"

The Ice Man looked at the Snow Maiden from afar and said.

The Snow Maiden nodded.

The Two Realms Battlefield is ten thousand light-years away from the Hanyuan Battlefield. With the strength of a Great Sage, it would take only two or three days to arrive.

Shui Zhui and Huo Yan, one an Initial-Tier Upper God and the other a Mid-Tier High God, and both from the Twin Race with extremely strong life-saving abilities, to be able to kill them, the opponent was certainly no pushover.

If Shui Zhui and Huo Yan weren't too arrogant and fell into a trap, then the opponent must possess some special means.

Both the Ice Man and Snow Maiden were more inclined towards the former. Arrogance was the biggest flaw of most Twin Race members. As far as the Ice Maiden and Snow Maiden knew, the Canglan Realm currently had no means similar to the Nightmare God Clan's innate Divine Ability. To kill a Twin Race member, one could only rely on information asymmetry to set a trap and encircle them.

As long as both bodies of a Twin Race member were in the same place and trapped by a force far exceeding their own, it wouldn't be difficult to kill them completely.

"Since the Two Realms Battlefield couldn't be taken down, let's quickly capture the Hanyuan Battlefield!"

"Use your Divine Ability!"

The Ice Man suddenly let out a loud roar, and terrifying energy swept out from him. Extreme cold power descended, seemingly capable of freezing all things.

The invisible cold power fell upon the Formation, causing the circulating power of the Formation to slow down.

"Damn it!"

Inside the Formation, Great Sage Huang Yu, Great Sage Ning Yu, and Saint King Qing Cang all changed color simultaneously, feeling the pressure to maintain the Formation suddenly increase.

The extreme cold power flowed back through the Formation barrier, causing the power within their bodies to slightly stagnate, thus weakening the Formation's power.

Whoosh~

Snowflakes swirled across the sky, instantly transforming into various divine weapons and Divine Beasts, smashing down onto the Formation barrier.

Boom boom boom!

Crack!

The two Mid-Tier High Gods simultaneously unleashed their Divine Abilities, finally causing a crack to appear in the Formation barrier.

"Go all out!"

Great Sage Huang Yu roared, and earth-yellow saint power poured out. Now, he could no longer worry about consumption.

Even if replenishment couldn't keep up with consumption, they couldn't hold back, otherwise the Formation would be broken immediately and wouldn't be able to last another four or five days.

Great Sage Ning Yu and Saint King Qing Cang dared not relax, fully releasing their saint power to maintain the Formation.

"Hold on, they can't keep using their innate Divine Ability forever!"

Great Sage Ning Yu said with furrowed brows.

Although their current consumption was high, using their innate Divine Ability also consumed a great deal of energy and couldn't be sustained indefinitely. Now, it was a test of which side could last longer.

"I hope reinforcements arrive soon!"

Saint King Qing Cang silently prayed in his heart.

Three days later.

Boom boom boom!

Crack crack!

The Ice Man and Snow Maiden's attacks came one after another, unleashing their innate Divine Abilities without regard for consumption. Cracks spread across the Formation barrier like a spiderweb.

"Are these two crazy?"

Saint King Qing Cang's face was pale, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Although he was known as the number one Saint King in the Eastern Profound Domain, he was still not enough in a Great Sage's battlefield.

In fact, he had already reached his limit yesterday, and now he was pretty much at the end of his rope.

The reason he hadn't died under the attacks of the two Mid-Tier High Gods was because the Formation and the two Great Sages had borne the brunt of the attacks for him.

"Hmph!"

Great Sage Ning Yu's delicate brows furrowed, and she let out a muffled grunt, saint blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.

"It seems we won't be waiting for reinforcements!"

Great Sage Huang Yu gave a bitter smile.

How could they withstand two Mid-Tier High Gods unleashing their innate Divine Abilities without regard for consumption?

They had originally thought they could hold out for five days, but three days was already their limit.

Looking at the Formation barrier covered in cracks, the three knew that the tide had turned against them.

"A Canglan Realm Cultivator has arrived!"

On the Ice Man's shoulder, the Bee Ant Race member with a human face, ant body, and bee wings suddenly cried out.

"Huh?!"

Both the Ice Man and Snow Maiden's expressions changed. It seemed that the Canglan Realm's reinforcements had arrived.

"Just a Saint King!"

The Quasi-God Bee Ant Race member cried out again.

The Ice Man and Snow Maiden immediately relaxed their expressions.

"My clansman was captured alive by that Saint King, and he's rapidly heading this way!"

The Bee Ant Race member continued.

"No matter, first take down the battlefield!"

The Ice Man's expression was relaxed.

It was just a Saint King; it wouldn't take much effort to kill him.

The opponent shouldn't be here to support the Hanyuan Battlefield; he was most likely just passing by.

If he sensed the commotion here, he would probably flee immediately.

Buzz!

Extreme cold power permeated the air, and snowflakes condensed into divine weapons and Divine Beasts, falling down.

Boom!

Crack!

The Formation barrier, which had held for several days, subsequently shattered.
