She was a stunning woman with a body of purple crystal, a human torso and an insect tail. Four pairs of translucent wings spread behind her, and mesmerizing purple light shimmered in her eyes.
"Hehehe~"
Purple Charm King covered her mouth and giggled, her voice as clear as silver bells.
"Human, why struggle?"
With a graceful wave of her slender hand, countless Zerg Warriors appeared all around them—over three hundred Immortal-level Zerg Generals, each radiating a chilling killing intent.
"Wouldn't you rather become one of my collectibles?"
Purple Charm King licked her lips, purple light blazing in her eyes.
"Boom!"
The three hundred-odd generals attacked at once, and a torrent of energy instantly swallowed the four of them.
"Form up!"
The Silver Armor Man roared. The four immediately formed a battle array, barely managing to raise a golden barrier.
"Crack—"
The barrier lasted only three seconds before shattering with a thunderous crash.
"Ugh!"
The female Immortal spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Her mental interference is too strong! I can't focus!"
"Run! Scatter!"
The oldest member of the team, a white-haired elder, roared.
"Even if only one of us gets away!"
The four of them instantly fled in different directions.
"Trying to run?"
Purple Charm King chuckled, her butterfly wings fluttering.
Something bizarre happened—the four suddenly froze in place, confusion clouding their eyes.
"That's right, just like that~"
Purple Charm King's voice rang directly in their minds.
"Come back to me obediently..."
The Silver Armor Man was the first to recover. He bit hard into his tongue. "Wake up! It's an illusion!"
But it was too late.
"Whoosh!"
Three purple crystal spikes suddenly shot out of thin air, piercing through the divine bodies of the other three.
"No!"
The Silver Armor Man's eyes nearly bulged with rage.
Purple Charm King glided gracefully before him and caressed his cheek with her jade-like hand. "Don't rush. You'll be next~ Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll... make you my slaves!"
Purple light surged in her eyes as her eerie pupils contracted to pinpricks.
Her gaze seemed to take on physical form. Two purple streaks of light darted toward the Silver Armor Man's eyes like venomous snakes.
"Look into my eyes~"
Her voice carried an eerie rhythm, every syllable striking deep into his soul.
The Silver Armor Man shuddered. A swirling purple vortex was reflected in his pupils.
His consciousness began to blur, as though he were sinking into an endless purple abyss. Purple Charm King's Spiritual Force surged into his sea of consciousness like a tide, seeking to brand a mark of enslavement into the deepest part of his soul.
"That's right, just like that~"
A cruel smile curled Purple Charm King's lips.
"Give up resisting and become my most loyal servant!"
Just as the enslavement mark was about to take shape—
"Boom!"
A streak of crimson flame suddenly fell from the void.
It came straight down at her!
Purple Charm King grunted, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Fury and shock mingled as she glared into the depths of space.
"Who?!"
She had managed to raise a defense in that instant, yet ten percent of her divine body had still been annihilated!
Ten Zerg Warriors had also perished!
She wanted to see who dared ambush her!
Yan Ning's figure tore through the starry sky like a blaze. His golden armor burned with searing divine power in the void, like a falling star.
He held out one hand. An invisible force enveloped the three unconscious human Immortals and whisked them into his World Ring.
"Demon Flame King?!"
Purple Charm King's pupils contracted sharply. Her four pairs of butterfly wings flared open, and purple crystal light blazed around her.
She recognized the notorious killer who had struck fear into the entire Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield over the past century.
"What a pleasant surprise."
Yan Ning's blade carved a crimson arc through the void. His voice was as cold as a hidden current beneath an icy plain.
"I didn't expect to find what I was looking for so soon."
The three hundred-odd Zerg Warriors instantly closed ranks, forming a wall of flesh and chitin before Purple Charm King.
Eerie purple markings appeared across their shells. They were clearly elite troops that had undergone special enhancement.
"Have you come to hunt me?"
Purple Charm King asked softly.
"Of course."
Yan Ning nodded without hesitation.
"You think I'll let you slaughter me like those nobodies? Hehehehe."
Purple Charm King suddenly giggled coquettishly and leaned back on the Hive Nest throne.
"I admire your courage. After all, you dared to come and provoke me."
Purple Charm King tapped her slender fingers against the armrest, then snapped them sharply. In an instant, the entire starry sky trembled.
"Bzzzz—"
A bone-chilling hum came from the depths of the void, like countless blades scraping against glass.
The Hive Nest beneath her suddenly writhed violently. Countless jagged fissures split its purple-black surface, each one belching viscous clouds of purple energy.
"Let me show you why Zerg Mother Queens are called the most terrifying calamity on the Outer Domain Battlefield."
"Rumble—"
First, a million World Lord Level Zerg Warriors surged out like a flood bursting through a dam.
Purple energy patterns flowed across their shells, and bloodthirsty purple flames flickered in their compound eyes.
Then the starry sky suddenly darkened.
Over ten thousand Immortal Zerg Warriors burst out of the Hive Nest, blotting out even the light of the stars.
They were no longer ordinary Zerg. They had evolved humanoid torsos and become killing machines, each one radiating the terrifying aura of an Immortal.
Most horrifying of all were the nine Zerg Royalty flanking the center.
Clad in purple-gold shells, they fixed their cold compound eyes on Yan Ning.
They were Purple Charm King's direct subordinates, bred over a hundred thousand years. Each one possessed the combat strength of a Low-level King!
The entire starfield trembled.
The energy field formed by the Zerg army distorted space across a radius of a million kilometers, dyeing even the starlight purple.
They didn't need to roar. The sound of their wings alone formed waves of mental attacks. An ordinary Immortal would probably have struggled even to hold on to their weapon.
"Now..."
Purple Charm King crossed her long legs, a strand of hair curling around her fingertip.
"Do you still think you can hunt me?"
She suddenly spread her arms. The cores in the abdomens of all the Zerg Warriors lit up at once.
A million energy beams intertwined in the void, forming a web of destruction. This was no longer a combined attack—the entire starry sky was passing a death sentence on Yan Ning!
"Can you withstand this strike?"
Yan Ning furrowed his brow slightly.
The combined attack of a million World Lord Level Zerg Warriors was powerful enough to take down a High-level King.
He couldn't meet it head-on.
His gaze fixed on the Immortal Zerg Warriors.
Their combined attack would be even more terrifying.
Were they holding back because they feared he'd go straight for the Mother Emperor?
"Take out the leader first"—that strategy was highly effective against a Zerg Mother Queen, but under the present circumstances...
With so many Zerg Warriors protecting her, getting close enough to kill the Mother Emperor was almost impossible.
Then he had only one choice: kill the Zerg Warriors first.
He would take out the Immortals and complete the mission. If things became impossible, he could retreat.
He estimated that the opposing Zerg Mother Queen's combat strength was roughly on par with his own.
With his Body Amplitude, divine power amplification, secret techniques, and King Armor...
His combat strength was at the peak of Peak King.
