After resting for a while and seeing that the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast was about to die, Ye Tian performed the high-level soul transfer talent inside the cave.
“Soul Transfer Talent, activate!”
Ye Tian’s soul transformed into a beam of light and entered the body of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, quickly annihilating its remaining soul and completely occupying its body.
“One month’s time should be enough!”
Ye Tian spoke using the body of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast.
The body of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast was already unharmed, and now under Ye Tian’s control, it could maintain its peak combat power, although his other talents had somewhat diminished, making it not as strong as his original body.
However, the combat power of this Dragon Eye Crystal Beast body, now controlled by Ye Tian, was still at the level of the thirty-six Emperors, and much stronger than the original Dragon Eye Crystal Beast.
After all, the God-level Extreme Speed Talent and the God-level Five Elements Transformation Talent had only been reduced to the Mystic level, making this body significantly stronger than before.
“Having taken over this body of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, I can fully compete for the Holy Dragon Fruit. Even if I fail, it doesn’t matter. I had checked earlier, and among the twelve ferocious beast overlords, there are no soul talent possessors. The only soul talent possessor among the other Emperor-level ferocious beasts has only an intermediate soul talent, not even comparable to my Soul Spike Talent. They can’t kill my soul, allowing me to return to my body in time.”
Ye Tian was not at all panicked.
Since he couldn’t die, if he still didn’t dare to compete for the Holy Dragon Fruit, wouldn’t it be too cowardly?
He was also very interested in the Holy Dragon Fruit. If the Holy Dragon Fruit could enhance the bloodline talents of ferocious beasts, could it not also enhance the cultivation talents of humans?
If that’s possible, wouldn’t it elevate a human’s cultivation talent to the Dawn level?
He didn’t care about Dawn level cultivation talent, but others did!
His sister Ye Yu and Yue’er both needed Dawn level cultivation talent. If he could obtain two Holy Dragon Fruits, he could give them to his sister and Yue’er.
For his sister and Yue’er, he must compete for the Holy Dragon Fruit.
The Holy Dragon Fruit matures only once every 9000 years. If he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait another 9000 years, and he couldn’t wait that long, nor could his sister and Yue’er.
This time, he was determined to obtain it!
Next, he arranged his original body well, setting up various hidden and defensive formations to prevent his body from being harmed.
After completing all these preparations, Ye Tian emerged from underground and came to the outside world.
In the outside world, Ye Tian familiarized himself with this body to ensure there were no issues in combat, and then flew towards the Holy Dragon Tree area.
Before long, Ye Tian returned to the vicinity of the Holy Dragon Tree.
Many ferocious beasts turned their gaze towards him, not fools, naturally knowing that the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast went to hunt the Ming Illusion Beast in haste, simply curious whether the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast had killed the Ming Illusion Beast or not.
An Emperor-level ferocious beast asked, “Dragon Eye, did you kill that Ming Illusion Beast?”
Ye Tian casually replied, “Hmph, if not for that Ming Illusion Beast being slightly faster, it would have been dead for sure!”
The meaning of this sentence was clear: the pursuit had failed!
The other Emperor-level ferocious beasts chuckled a few times, seemingly mocking the incapability of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast.
The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast itself wasn’t strong, so they weren’t afraid of it, and its Insightful Eye Talent was useless against them. They might fear the Ming Illusion Beast, but not the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast.
Ye Tian didn’t care either. He wasn’t the real Dragon Eye Crystal Beast; the real one was already dead!
Time passed bit by bit, and the fragrance of the Holy Dragon Fruit on the Holy Dragon Tree became more and more intense, absorbing countless yuan Qi, with the day of maturity fast approaching.
A few more days passed.
Faint dragon shadows appeared on the Holy Dragon Fruits, turning them golden yellow. Seeing this phenomenon, all the Emperor-level ferocious beasts knew that the Holy Dragon Fruits were about to mature.
Once the phenomenon roared, and billions of golden lights emanated from the Holy Dragon Fruits, it would be the true day of maturity. At the moment, it was not yet time to vie for them, as doing so would only yield a useless Holy Dragon Fruit. If anyone dared to seize the Holy Dragon Fruits prematurely, the twelve ferocious beast overlords would definitely not be merciful and would unite to annihilate them.
On this day, all the Emperor-level ferocious beasts became restless, their gazes fixed on the Holy Dragon Fruits, because today was the day of their maturation.
Suddenly, the sounds of dragon roars were heard, and the dragon shadows on the nine Holy Dragon Fruits roared into the void, as if nine real dragons were howling. Then, billions of golden lights burst forth from the nine Holy Dragon Fruits, covering hundreds of thousands of miles. In an instant, the entire area turned into a world of golden light.
The phenomenon came quickly and disappeared just as swiftly. In the blink of an eye, the golden light dispersed, the phenomenon dissipated, and the nine Holy Dragon Fruits truly matured!
However, after the maturation of the Holy Dragon Fruits, the Holy Dragon Tree exerted a powerful suppressive force. The weaker Emperor-level ferocious beasts were somewhat distressed, and even the twelve ferocious beast overlords were affected, their strength greatly reduced.
“Suppressed!” Ye Tian frowned. The Holy Dragon Tree was too strange; a mere tree could suppress Emperor-level ferocious beasts. Could it be that the tree had consciousness?
Without much time to ponder, the battle for the fruits began. The twelve ferocious beast overlords rushed towards the nine Holy Dragon Fruits on the peak, and the battle erupted in an instant. However, no matter how powerful the remnants of the battle were, they couldn’t destroy a single branch of the Holy Dragon Tree, not even the mountain itself, showing the sturdiness and strength of the mountain and the Holy Dragon Tree.
“Xuan Turtle, you’re too old, already over ten thousand years old. Even with your long life, you can’t live much longer. Even if you seize a Holy Dragon Fruit and elevate your bloodline talent to the Dawn level, you still can’t step into the next realm. Better to leave the Holy Dragon Fruit for us younger Emperor beasts,” the Black Dragon Overlord taunted as it lashed its tail at Xuan Turtle, laughing wildly.
However, Xuan Turtle calmly took the hit from the Black Dragon Overlord’s tail, speaking calmly, “Just a lesser dragon. Do you think you’re a real black dragon? A mere thousand-year-old youngster dares to disrespect me? Your attack is barely a tickle to me!”
The twelve ferocious beast overlords clashed with each other, and in the meantime, other fast ferocious beasts rushed to try to snatch a Holy Dragon Fruit, but they were casually killed by the overlords. For any Emperor-level ferocious beast other than the top twelve, approaching meant certain death.
“I only need one Holy Dragon Fruit!” declared one of the twelve overlords, the Golden Horned Silver Emperor, as he flung another overlord aside and grabbed a Holy Dragon Fruit. The other overlords didn’t dare to stop him, letting the Golden Horned Silver Emperor leave.
If three or four of the other eleven overlords united, they could possibly defeat the Golden Horned Silver Emperor, hailed as the number one overlord, but such cooperation was unlikely at this time. Thus, unable to defeat the Golden Horned Silver Emperor, they could only let him leave.
“Now there are only eight Holy Dragon Fruits left!” Ye Tian felt tense. With one less Holy Dragon Fruit, the competition intensified. However, he still didn’t reveal himself and act. To do so now would only needlessly sacrifice this Dragon Eye Crystal Beast body.
