Chapter 433: Chapter 425: Grade Eight Magic Bee_1

At this moment, Qin Niu’s Green Demon Bee had finally succeeded in advancing to Grade Eight.

The dreadful black qi had shrunk from over ten meters in diameter to less than a foot, and its rotation had also slowed down significantly. The giant insect within the black qi had also severely contracted, becoming only as thick as an adult’s arm.

With the Green Demon Bee’s current terrifying strength, if it continued to suck the Mirage Insect’s avatar, soon nothing would be left, not even dregs.

The Mirage Insect inside the Insect Jar had already begged Qin Niu several times.

It was very afraid of its only avatar being completely killed.

“Alright, come back!”

Qin Niu commanded the Green Demon Bee.

It transformed into a blur, suddenly bursting out from the giant insect’s body, easily penetrating the black qi outside, and the next second, it appeared directly in front of Qin Niu.

Qin Niu examined the Green Demon Bee, which had been reborn, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The Green Demon Bee’s body was now bigger than an adult’s fist, and its body and wings were covered with extremely mysterious patterns. On its forehead, a seductive dark purple rune was even faintly forming.

Streaks of black lightning flashed across its body.

It was like a Death God that had emerged from hell, emitting an aura that made one’s heart tremble with fear.

The invisible ferocity made even Qin Niu, its master, feel a bit apprehensive.

“Good, go into the Insect Bag and rest!”

Qin Niu gently stroked the Green Demon Bee floating in front of him.

Its flying skill had clearly improved significantly, covering a distance of nearly a hundred meters instantaneously, as if teleporting—and it could hover motionless in mid-air.

After checking the Green Demon Bee’s new attributes, only two words came to Qin Niu’s mind: “against heaven.”

The Green Demon Bee’s starting point was already very high, and now that it had advanced to Grade Eight, its skills had been further enhanced, making it truly “against heaven.”

It seemed that its breeding method had also changed.

Initially, it was high-grade breeding, but now it had transformed into split breeding.

This was easy to understand, like a virus replicating itself.

It meant that the offspring it produced were no different from its true self.

It was currently Grade Eight, and the offspring it produced would be Grade Eight as well.

One just didn’t know how many offspring it could breed in a day?

Previously, it could lay one bee egg per day. Those eggs had already begun to hatch one after another and were being nurtured. They would probably need some more time before they could transform.

It would save effort in the future.

The offspring produced by the Green Demon Bee wouldn’t need incubation or nurturing.

The downside was that it wouldn’t be possible to produce a stronger breed of bee than the mother, nor could it produce a special breed of bee different from the mother.

It was essentially cloning itself.

If the mother bee was Grade Eight, the offspring it produced could only be Grade Eight.

Qin Niu was a bit worried that the Ant Queen would also evolve this kind of breeding in the future. Oviparous reproduction, though much more troublesome, had greater potential and could produce more diverse offspring.

The Green Demon Bee’s Breeding Skill had evolved into Split Breeding, and there was nothing Qin Niu could do about it.

He could only accept it.

There were various risks inherent in cultivating insects.

Such as the risk of death, the risk of failed evolution, the risk of losing skills, and so on.

The Green Demon Bee’s flying skill had indeed evolved; it was now capable of extreme flight, second only to instantaneous escape. No wonder it could cover the nearly hundred-meter distance in the blink of an eye.

With such swift speed, there were probably not many in the Spirit Qi Realm who could escape from its pursuit.

Those in the Innate Realm could instantaneously move ten meters, which was considered quite strong. Even if those in the Spirit Qi Realm were several times more skilled, instantaneously moving thirty to fifty meters was their limit. This could only be achieved in combination with a step-method martial skill.

And they had to practice that step-method martial skill to a certain level.

Even with cultivation at the Spirit Qi Realm, without a step-method martial skill, being able to instantaneously move ten meters was already quite remarkable.

Qin Niu could now move seven or eight meters instantaneously by relying on the Misty Rain Elusive Step.

If he could train this step-method martial skill to a higher level, he should be able to improve further.

This time, the Green Demon Bee had risen by three grades and even evolved a special skill—initial demon body.

This was a fleshly body skill, which presumably shared the same ingenious principle as the legendary golden body.

The exact effects were yet to be seen until after the Green Demon Bee was tested in battle.

Overall, he was quite satisfied with the results of the Green Demon Bee’s evolution.

The gains from this time exceeded his expectations.

“Mirage Insect, how will you deal with that avatar?”

Qin Niu asked the Mirage Insect.

He had not yet subjugated the Mirage Insect, only captured it, so naturally, he would not let it return to the wild.

He would certainly not release it back into the Valley of Wronged Spirits.

Instead, he kept it confined within the Insect Jar until he could form a master-servant contract with the Mirage Insect.

After all, it was a monstrous insect. Despite its current pitiful state, if it were allowed to return to the wild, capturing it again would be difficult.

“Can you let me out? I can deal with the avatar,” the Mirage Insect said.

“Letting you out is fine, but you can’t enter the Valley of Wronged Spirits,” Qin Niu replied.

“Agreed!” the Mirage Insect consented.

Qin Niu tipped the Mirage Insect out of the Insect Jar, watching it closely. Should this insect dare any funny business, Qin Niu’s pets, including the Termite, Green Ox, Golden Toad, and Green Demon Bee, would immediately put it in its place.

To increase his deterrence, Qin Niu held the Ink Blade in his hand.

This blade had become increasingly powerful from being nourished nightly with Ancient Banyan Tree Blood. Qin Niu could feel its growing strength himself.

He had also used this blade to kill many strong opponents.

Full of sinister energy, the Ink Blade seemed to possess a natural affinity for the blood of living beings, having a particular craving for it.

The more powerful beings he killed, the more energy and Spirit Qi it absorbed from their blood, as well as the resentment from their deaths, making the Ink Blade’s might more and more terrifying.

Qin Niu was somewhat worried, unsure whether this was good or bad.

His main concern was that the Ink Blade might one day spin out of control and even begin to manipulate him, its master.

This kind of situation wasn’t unheard of.

Some weapons were extremely evil and could slowly take control of their owner’s mind, making the owner cruel, bloodthirsty, and ultimately a complete slave to the weapon, turning into a murderous lunatic.

The Mirage Insect was indeed very timid.

Feeling the numerous contingencies Qin Niu had prepared for it, it trembled with fear and dared not make any suspicious movements.

Its ‘head’ pointed towards the direction of the Valley of Wronged Spirits.

Or perhaps that was its tail.

Qin Niu could no longer distinguish its head from the tail.

The black qi from within the valley slowly coiled and emerged from the valley. When it reached the Mirage Insect, the insect absorbed it bit by bit into its body.

The Mirage Insect’s body, originally only as thick as a pinky finger, began to grow visibly larger, quickly becoming as thick as an adult’s thigh.
