Chapter 165: An Emperor-Level Strike!
At one end of the space rift on Earth, Ye Tian instantly felt the tremors in space. As his spatial perception spread out, he immediately noticed the anomaly in the space rift. Right away, he sensed something was wrong – an Emperor-level aura was emanating from within the rift.
Ye Tian flew into the sky, his divine consciousness covering a thousand miles. He telepathically warned everyone: "An Emperor-level beast is tearing through the space rift. Everyone, leave the top-tier array immediately!"
Yun Mengli heard Ye Tian's warning and was instantly startled.
An Emperor-level beast!
Others, perhaps less experienced, might not know what an Emperor-level entity was, but having been to Zhonghai Super Base, how could he be unaware? Above the King level was the Saint level, and above that, the Emperor level.
A single Emperor-level beast could kill him countless times with just a breath.
Yun Mengli, discarding all considerations of face and honor, and not caring about others, hurriedly flew out of the top-tier array.
Apart from Yun Mengli, two other invincible King-level beings, Blood King and Qing (Green) King (chapter 119), also knew what an Emperor-level beast was and fled immediately. Seeing Yun Mengli, Green King, and Blood King escaping, the other Kings didn't know what was happening but followed suit.
In a blink, all the Kings retreated outside the top-tier array, and even the array masters ran out.
Only one person remained inside the top-tier array to observe the situation.
"What is an Emperor-level beast?" a King-level asked Blood King, puzzled.
Blood King took a deep breath and said, "A being countless times stronger than us. A single breath can kill me. You don't need to know too much, just understand that an Emperor-level strike can obliterate a large base."
Yun Mengli said, "An Emperor-level should not be able to come through a three-star space rift, let alone now that the rift has turned into a one-star space rift. It's even harder for them to come through."
"Right, it's probably just a false alarm, let's wait and see!" Green King added.
The Kings were still very nervous, their eyes fixed on the space rift inside the top-tier array, ready to flee at the first sign of trouble.
Inside the top-tier array.
Ye Tian stood 3000 meters from the space rift.
He stared at the rift, sensing the aura of three Emperor-level beasts tearing through the space.
The space rift rapidly widened, quickly returning to the extent of a three-star space rift and was evolving into a four-star rift.
Yun Mengli, Green King, and Blood King were truly frightened. If it turned into a four-star space rift, Saint-level beasts could come through, and they couldn't hold them off!
"Array masters, activate the array quickly!" the Kings shouted.
Immediately, the array masters began to activate the array.
"Lords, it's useless. A terrifying force is affecting the array. We can't suppress the space rift anymore!" a top-tier array master said helplessly.
However, the feared event did not occur. The rift did not widen to a four-star level, but it was only a little short of reaching the peak of a three-star level. Even so, the Kings were still alarmed, as such a rift could bring a large number of King beasts, even invincible King beasts.
A voice came: "A Saint-level human, it's him, he must be the one who killed my descendant!"
A hand reached out from the space rift, but as it passed through the rift, it was affected by the forces of the rift and the two worlds, continuously cracking.
This was not a human hand, but more like that of a beast, specifically a giant ape's hand.
A golden spear appeared in the huge hand, likely a natural talent, a metallic-type talent.
"Saint-level human, die!"
The golden spear was thrown viciously towards Ye Tian, piercing through the air at an incredible speed, surpassing even Ye Tian's reaction time.
"I can't afford to get hit!"
Ye Tian had the impression that if he were struck, even his top-tier healing talent wouldn't save him. The attacker was undoubtedly a terrifyingly powerful Emperor-level beast, now attacking him across realms at the cost of injury. The only reason for such a desperate measure was clear—
The Ming Illusion Beast he had slain was extraordinary. By killing it, he had poked a hornet's nest. The voice claiming he killed its offspring was another beast, likely a relative of the Ming Illusion Beast and also an Emperor-level entity.
Now, he had attracted the attack of at least five fearsome beasts!
To kill him, the enemy was sparing no expense!
Without hesitation, Ye Tian used his spatial talent to teleport.
If the opponent had arrived in person, even teleporting might not have been fast enough. But the enemy, attacking with only a hand across realms, was slower, giving Ye Tian a chance to teleport.
Instantly, Ye Tian teleported out of the top-tier array, reappearing a thousand miles away.
The golden spear, missing Ye Tian, struck the top-tier array instead.
The top-tier array was completely shattered, and all the array masters spat blood from the backlash, with several weaker ones dying from it.
In an instant, the golden spear disappeared into the sky.
Fortunately, the spear had not targeted the ground; otherwise, its power could have shattered the earth, its annihilation force sweeping across the area, enough to kill all Kings within a thousand miles.
The owner of the giant hand, Kong, let out an angry roar.
Having paid such a great price and still failing to kill Ye Tian, how could it not be furious?
The space rift contracted, Kong's hand crumbling, droplets of Emperor-level beast blood dripping down.
The hand disappeared, leaving only Kong and the Ming Illusion Beast's angry voices.
Since the top-tier array was gone, the space rift did contract, but only to the level of a normal three-star space rift, not shrinking to a one-star level.
Ye Tian teleported back.
It took a while for Yun Mengli and others to recover from their shock and fear before flying towards Ye Tian.
"Lord Ye Tian, was that an Emperor-level beast that just attacked?" Yun Mengli asked.
"Yes, an Emperor-level beast, and not just any ordinary one. I didn't expect it to attack me across realms!" Ye Tian was somewhat shocked, but not overly fearful.
If the Emperor-level beast had come in person, he was confident in preserving his life, let alone just a hand coming through.
"Lord Ye Tian, that Emperor-level beast won't attack again, will it?" Blood King asked fearfully.
"Not for a short while," Ye Tian speculated.
After all, the opponent had been injured crossing realms, as evidenced by the blood left behind.
But he couldn't be certain.
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Blood King, Green King, Yun Mengli, and others didn't relax but shivered instead.
Not attacking for a short time implied there could be another attack. How could they withstand a strike from an Emperor-level beast?
