As the Star-Sea Providential Creation entered their bodies, startling anomalies began to manifest among the human Soul Transformation cultivators. Because these people were the most talented individuals in the world, the scenes of their transformation were exceptionally striking.
Some transformed from Green-Wood Spirit Physiques to Green-Mysterious Celestial Physiques. Not only did their wood-attribute talent rise by several levels, but they also gained superb recovery traits and a formidable defensive Mystic-Vine talent.
One individual possessed a natural Sword-Heart, with peerless comprehension of the sword, yet had mediocre aptitude. Under the influence of the creation power, he directly awakened the Heavenly-Gold Sword Physique. His Sword-Heart had already made his achievements extraordinary; with the addition of the Heavenly-Gold Sword Physique, his foundation soared, and the power of his strikes became incomparable to before.
Another awakened from a Blazing-Sun Physique into a Pure-Yang Astral Physique, causing his already ferocious attacks to become even more explosive and powerful. Additionally, there were body-refiners who awakened the Immaculate Glazed Physique or the Blood-Baleful Battle Physique, and those who awakened special talents like the Starlight Spirit Veins...
In short, one talent after another, each capable of stunning an era, was born. This creation power caused their combat strength to explode and broadened their future potential. It was practically certain that as long as the world's resources and level continued to rise, these people would advance triumphantly on the path of immortality and become great cultivators who could stand between heaven and earth.
Furthermore, for the majority of these cultivators, the most precious thing was that this creation power almost entirely resolved the problem of their aging physical bodies and souls, restoring them to their prime. In this state, the difficulty of charging toward higher realms would be greatly reduced. And for those who survived this cruel war, their Dao hearts and wills would surely reach a startling level, something that could not be matched in times of peace.
For these Soul Transformation cultivators, the surprise was indescribable. However, the ones who benefited the most in the entire Soul Transformation battlefield were not these humans, but Qi Ping's three animal companions! Because the ones who had rampaged and killed the most across the entire tier were the Little Green Dragon, the Little Immortal Tiger, and the Golden Marrow Bees!
Among the three, the most startling and unexpected harvest went not to the dragon or the tiger, but to the Golden Marrow Bees! Because Qi Ping had spent a massive price to nurture Great Perfection Soul Transformation bees, merging nine attributes, and they possessed massive numbers and specialized arrays, their role and kill count were the most staggering.
It could be said that without the bees' desperate obstruction and slaughter, the Dragon-Tiger Duo might not have been affected much, but for the human cultivators who were at a disadvantage, it would have been a catastrophe. It was their assistance that allowed many human cultivators to survive and successfully kill the demons. And for this, the swarm had paid a heavy price—nearly half of the Golden Marrow Bees had fallen in battle!
One had to know that bees merging nine attributes had already reached an unimaginable peak in terms of vitality and defense, and their attack and speed were also extraordinary. Except for the fact that their fusion state hadn't reached perfection, they were existences that were hard to match within the same rank. Yet nearly half of them had still died! One could imagine the pressure they had endured. If not for their diversion and fearless attacks, the King-level demons would not have been so hesitant, and the entire tier might have collapsed long ago.
Furthermore, the bees hadn't only played a role in the Soul Transformation battlefields; their record in the Nascent Soul tier was also brilliant! It was because of this pivotal role that the benefits the Golden Marrow Bees obtained were unimaginable.
Most startlingly, the vast majority of the creation power fell upon the Golden Marrow Bee King, with a smaller portion falling upon the drones of each special attribute. This power directly pushed the traits of the specialized drones to a new peak, and the fusion between their attribute states and physical bodies reached near-perfection.
The change in the Golden Marrow Bee King was even more exaggerated. The power of nine special attributes erupted from its body. Originally, it was very difficult for the King to merge so many attributes—specifically, the Death attribute had failed to merge successfully. Thus, in the subsequent fusion plan, the King's attributes were still based on Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, with the Life attribute as the foundation for physical strength and the Space attribute as a special Great Dao.
As the attributes merged gradually, Qi Ping had realized that the bees' fusion had basically reached its limit; merging more attributes wouldn't bring more benefits. Based on the state they displayed, merging nine attributes was already pushing it; they couldn't merge and utilize the Space attribute alongside Yin-Yang and the Five Elements as skillfully as he could. Although the Space attribute enhanced their power, it would have a significant impact on future transformations, possibly increasing the risks. He had even considered weakening or removing the Space attribute in the next transformation, keeping only the core Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Life foundations to allow the King to evolve to a higher level.
But now, the problem was solved! Under the influence of the Star-Sea Providential Creation, the Bee King's transformation potential and fusion capability received an unimaginable boost! Its body turned a mixture of black and white under the power, and a Yin-Yang diagram appeared between its brows.
To call it a Yin-Yang diagram was not entirely accurate. The core was Yin-Yang, but surrounding it were Five Elements Immortal Patterns, and at the intersection of the two, a spatial mark emerged! It looked complex, yet it formed an incredibly harmonious state, like powerful bricks and tiles forming a magnificent, formidable building. Just like the specialized divine pattern on the Bee King's head, it currently radiated an immense pressure. This pressure was already no less than that of other divine beast bloodlines. If one were to place this Bee King before other powerful insect races, its size, physical strength, and pressure would crush all!
However, while the pattern on the Bee King's head was powerful, it still seemed to lack one thing... and the Bee King knew exactly what it was.
It was Time!
This was a powerful force it had always pursued! When the creation power descended, while its body changed, its soul and will entered a very special state of enlightenment. It was in that state that it completely understood its future path: using Yin-Yang and the Five Elements as its foundation, Life as its physical root, and surrounding them with the Great Dao of Time and Space! It wanted to be a super spirit bee with an unparalleled foundation, a formidable body, and mastery over time and space!
After being transformed by the creation power, it had truly obtained the potential and traits to merge the Time Dao. Its currently merged nine attributes were also perfectly harmonized! Without a doubt, a grand path had opened before it—leading to an ultimate, super spirit insect that might have never appeared in history!
Simultaneously, Qi Ping sensed the change in the Bee King.
'The heavenly path for spirit insects I've planned for so long has finally opened!'
Qi Ping believed that with the Bee King's traits, it would surely become a super spirit insect that would shake the myriad worlds in the future! And it would be one that possessed both extreme combat power and extreme production capability—perhaps even becoming one of the most worthwhile spirit beasts to form a contract with in all of history.
'It's just that in the subsequent World-Domain battles, the role the transformed Bee King can play will be limited...'
For spirit insects, no matter how strong the King was, there was only one of them; they couldn't fully display the characteristics of the swarm. Only after the Bee King and the transformed drones gave birth to a new generation—and that generation was nurtured and formed into a bee legion—would the true terror of the insect race be revealed!
However, it was somewhat regrettable that bees weren't suited for rapid reproduction through devouring enemies; otherwise, the speed of forming combat power would be much faster...
'Wait... could I use the demon corpses as raw material for brewing honey, and use that to build a special legion?'
'As long as this special legion does not engage in reproduction, it won't damage the stability of the swarm's bloodline. But it could allow for a rapid expansion of troops in a short time, forming a powerful combat force!'
The more Qi Ping thought about it, the brighter his eyes became! It seemed entirely possible! The Golden Marrow Bees, who loved brewing honey, had one advantage: their bloodline and temperament were extremely stable. They wouldn't destroy heaven and earth like the Demon Insect King and incur the disgust of the Heavenly Dao. But this created a disadvantage—they couldn't expand rapidly through devouring like the Demon Insect King, forming those terrifying scenes of an "Insect Calamity."
Previously, Qi Ping felt there was a trade-off. but for the Golden Marrow Bees, there now seemed to be a new possibility: using the corpses of enemies as the raw material for honey! Other production-type insects might not be able to do this, but for Qi Ping and the Bee King—whose brewing ability already surpassed grandmaster alchemists—it was entirely feasible!
Qi Ping looked at the corpses being brought back by the fish and immediately began his research! It might be too late for this current World-Domain war, but for the subsequent cruel life-and-death struggle for the world's survival, it would be just in time. If the transformed bees could expand their troops rapidly then, they would surely unleash a combat power that would shock the world!
Especially since the Bee King had already reached the Great Perfection of the Soul Transformation Stage and had its foundation strengthened by the creation power. If it could successfully refine a time-type spirit insect bloodline and advance to the Sixth Order—completing its final attribute and reaching the Void Refinement Stage—its strength would reach an unimaginable level!
Thinking of the method to let the Bee King devour time-type spirit insects, Qi Ping immediately brought the corpse of the Eight-Winged Ant Immortal and another time-type insect, the Spring-Autumn Silkworm, before the Bee King...
As the imposing corpses of the Eight-Winged Ant Immortal and the Spring-Autumn Silkworm appeared, an unimaginable force of time swept out.
After the Bee King completed its transformation through the Star-Sea Providential Creation, the Little Green Dragon and the Little Immortal Tiger also received significant upgrades. However, because their bloodlines were already exceptionally strong, their transformation wasn't as obvious. Nevertheless, their bloodlines received a massive boost, with their purity and concentration rising steadily.
In terms of the dragon's current bloodline strength and potential, after the transformation, it had already surpassed its original parents. Its combat power had soared! Whether it was physical strength, defense, or the power of its divine abilities, everything increased in tandem!
The same applied to the tiger. Its Bai-Ze bloodline as a beast of fortune was already strong enough; by gradually transforming and awakening, it would eventually have the chance to approach the legendary divine beast Bai-Ze. But the tiger was not satisfied with this; it wanted to walk its own Great Dao of Heavenly Secrets, as Qi Ping had suggested.
And what the tiger awakened this time was the ultimate combat perception! Any enemy fighting it would find themselves within its calculations. Their weaknesses would be rapidly deduced. Combined with its already powerful Water-Marsh Battle Physique, as long as its basic foundation remained sufficiently thick and strong, it could utilize every opportunity to defeat its enemies!
After the Star-Sea side completed their transformations, the final clashes of the Soul Transformation tier began to unfold! This was likely why the Star-Sea world chose to release the creation power at this time.
However, after the transformation ended, the command center did not choose to let all the Soul Transformation cultivators go to war. Instead, the Void-Aether Fish were used to transport some of them to other battlefields. Essentially, they consolidated the cultivators from three battlefields into one, choosing to deal with one battlefield together while actively abandoning the other two-thirds.
The War Command center wanted to ensure that the chosen third of the battlefields could completely annihilate the enemy and take the world nodes, while ensuring the survival of their own people. Because there were so few Soul Transformation cultivators, every death was an immense loss. Furthermore, even with their transformations, the numerical disparity remained huge. To disperse would be too dangerous; it was better to use the advantage of the Void-Aether Fish to keep the initiative in their own hands.
Combined with the battlefields already cleared by the Dragon-Tiger Duo, as long as they could ensure victory in the chosen battlefields, they would lose at most half of the sub-battlefields. If they could preserve their overall strength, they would still have a chance in the final showdown!
The final clashes began one after another. With their forces concentrated, the Star-Sea world achieved final victory without any major surprises. Because they avoided the strongest demons, only one battlefield saw the loss of two Soul Transformation cultivators; everyone else survived and took the enemy nodes.
Across the Soul Transformation tier, they achieved a fifty percent victory rate, but the difference in mortality was massive. Nearly half of the demon Soul Transformation forces perished! Yet the Star-Sea side lost very few people.
The result of this battle directly stunned the demons!
