“After going through a battle, my cultivation speed has significantly increased. My physical strength has already reached the level of 16 Elephants!” Ye Tian tested his strength and expressed his satisfaction.
Under normal circumstances, for a Grandmaster who had just broken through, raising their strength from 1.5 Elephants to 16 Elephants would take several years or even a decade. Even for someone with extraordinary talent, it would still take a year to achieve this feat.
Yet, Ye Tian had been cultivating at the Grandmaster level for less than two months. The improvement in his strength could only be described as terrifying!
His communicator received a message. Ye Tian glanced at it and knew it was time, as notified by Yun Mengli.
This time, Ye Tian would be participating as a king-level combatant, not as an array master. He was merely a mid-level array master, with far less experience compared to others. Since he knew only a few arrays, participating in setting up top-level grand arrays would not be much help. It would be more effective for him to defend against fierce beasts as a king-level combatant.
“Xiao Xue, let’s go together!”
Ye Tian prepared to take Xiao Xue to the spatial rift. He didn’t want to reveal his flying talent; displaying too many abilities could arouse suspicion. As for whether Xiao Xue would be recognized, Ye Tian wasn’t concerned.
In his view, a creature with a Dawn-class bloodline like a dragon was beyond the reach of king-level beings like Yun Mengli; they would never recognize Xiao Xue.
So, there was no need to worry.
After all, if he was always afraid of revealing Xiao Xue’s identity, wouldn’t he be forever afraid to take him out?
Both human and beast arrived at the east side of the Demon Sea Base.
Outside the base, various king-level individuals hovered in the air.
At that moment, Ye Tian also emerged, riding on Xiao Xue into the sky.
A figure flew over, it was Lord Yue Ling.
Ye Tian greeted with a clenched fist.
“Friend Ye, this beast of yours is quite extraordinary. I actually don’t recognize it. It somewhat resembles the dragons from legends; could it be a dragon beast?”
Lord Yue Ling looked at Xiao Xue, surprised.
Hearing Lord Yue Ling’s words, Xiao Xue snorted a few times, clearly dissatisfied.
He was a pure-blooded dragon, and being compared to a lower bloodline dragon beast by Lord Yue Ling upset him!
Ye Tian patted Xiao Xue’s head to soothe him and then said to Lord Yue Ling, “You are correct; Xiao Xue is indeed a dragon beast, and quite a powerful one at that!”
Lord Yue Ling smiled, “I initially thought you couldn’t fly and was prepared to carry you along. Now it seems unnecessary!”
The two chatted for a while.
Suddenly, Ye Tian asked, “Brother Yue, do you know anything about the Super Base?”
Curious about the situation there, he took this opportunity to ask Lord Yue Ling, who was a king-level being.
Hearing the term ‘Super Base’, Lord Yue Ling’s expression became serious, “The Super Base is very mysterious, said to be deep within China. Our Demon Sea Base was actually located along the original East China Sea coast. However, the Earth has grown so much that we are now far from the ocean. The Super Base has a population much larger than ours, and their strength surpasses us by more than one level. I don’t know the specifics as I’ve never been inside, but I’ve heard from King Mengli that even his invincible king-level strength is not remarkable there.”
“Invincible king-level is not remarkable!!!”
Ye Tian was shocked and finally understood the horror of the Super Base!
At the same time, he was even more eager for the Super Base, for only there could he replicate even higher-level cultivation talents.
Before long, all the king-level combatants had assembled.
Yun Mengli waved her hand, “Move out!”
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!!
One after another, the king-level individuals broke through the void, heading for the spatial rift, moving much faster than any wind-skimming boat.
Although 60,000 miles seemed far, the king-level individuals quickly arrived at the location of the spatial rift.
There, they found many fierce beasts and king beasts gathered. However, there were no invincible king beasts present.
The fissure in space was teeming with countless ferocious beasts, including many King Beasts, although there were no Invincible King Beasts this time.
Yun Mengli didn’t rush to clear out these beasts. Instead, he spoke, “Let’s wait for people from the other two major bases to arrive before we proceed.”
About ten minutes later, King-level warriors and array mages from the other two major bases arrived.
“Shenhang Major Base!”
These were the names of the two other major bases, whose power was not inferior to that of Demon Sea base, although they had smaller populations.
Upon their arrival, two King-level warriors greeted Yun Mengli. From Lord Yue Ling, Ye Tian learned the identities of these two King-level figures—He Yun from Qinghe Major Base, known as Qing King, and Zhao Xue from Shenhang Major Base, known as Blood King. Both were Invincible King-level warriors who had survived since the calamity a hundred years ago.
“King Mengli, are the materials ready?” Blood King inquired.
“Everything is prepared, and we even have surplus materials. There’s no need to worry,” Yun Mengli assured.
“Then let’s begin,” Qing King announced.
Immediately, the array mages scattered and began laying out a top-grade array within a radius of a thousand li, enclosing the area around the spatial fissure. Other King-level warriors were responsible for guarding these array mages, and Ye Tian was assigned to guard several junior array mages.
As for the three Invincible King-level warriors, they moved closer to the spatial fissure to hunt down the King Beasts.
Boom! The battle commenced.
The King Beasts seemed to know what the humans intended to do, and they launched frenzied attacks. More and more King Beasts and top-tier ferocious beasts poured out from the spatial fissure.
A brutal fight erupted.
“Lord Ye Tian, we are in your hands,” a group of about ten junior array mages respectfully said.
Ye Tian nodded lightly and, along with Xiao Xue, continued to guard these junior array mages. Though their role was minor, they were crucial to the grand array and couldn’t afford to make mistakes.
Top-tier ferocious beasts charged at Ye Tian, who wielded a high-powered blade, continuously slashing and felling beast after beast. Xiao Xue, rather shamelessly, began collecting beast blood while Ye Tian was preoccupied, stowing it away in its storage bag under the pretext of ‘waste not, want not.’
The beasts seemed endless, constantly swarming, and even Ye Tian found the situation challenging.
“Ye, a King Beast is heading your way. Delay it for a moment; I’ll come to assist you after killing this beast,” a King-level voice transmitted to him.
Ye Tian knew this King-level individual as one of the stronger King-level warriors.
The ground trembled as a giant crocodile, towering at a height of a hundred meters, crawled forward, exuding ferociousness. The junior array mages were somewhat trembling, evidently intimidated by the creature.
“Stay focused and continue laying out the array,” Ye Tian reminded them.
The array mages promptly regained their composure and continued their work.
Ye Tian also prepared to summon Xiao Xue, who was currently voraciously collecting and devouring beast blood. Xiao Xue had grown quickly and was no longer weaker than him; it could even combat King-level opponents with its various abilities.
“Xiao Xue, guard these array mages. I’ll go kill that crocodile,” Ye Tian mentally communicated with Xiao Xue.
