Ye Tian had already flown a great distance. The vastness of the beast world was so immense that the beast overlords could not find him.
The two Holy Dragon Fruits truly belonged to him now!
The six Holy Dragon Fruits on the Holy Dragon Tree had already been snatched away by six beast overlords, who immediately fled, fearing an attack from those who had failed to seize any of the fruits.
The Xuan Tortoise Overlord, the Black Dragon Overlord, and the Black Tiger Overlord failed to find any trace of Ye Tian, losing all hope.
They realized that the so-called Dragon Eye Crystal Beast was definitely a fake.
As an infamous Emperor level beast in the beast world, although they did not hold it in high regard, they knew of its abilities. It wouldn’t have powers like invisibility, teleportation, or space blades!
Invisibility was a skill of the previously encountered Ming Illusion Beast!
“The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast went after the Ming Illusion Beast earlier. The one that returned with the ability to turn invisible must have been a fake. The real Dragon Eye Crystal Beast must have been killed, and it was the Ming Illusion Beast in disguise!” roared the Black Dragon Overlord in anger.
“Wait, the Dragon Eye, no, the Ming Illusion Beast that disappeared from that land, could it have disguised itself as another beast?”
The Black Dragon Overlord returned.
The Xuan Turtle Overlord and Black Tiger Overlord also came back, arriving at the devastated land.
The three beast overlords used their divine senses to sweep the area, recalling the previous situation.
With their excellent memories, they quickly noticed the differences between then and now.
“A pangolin’s corpse has disappeared. All the beasts in this area are dead; it’s impossible for another beast to have eaten the pangolin’s corpse!” exclaimed the Xuan Turtle Overlord in shock.
The three beast overlords exchanged glances, considering a possibility.
The pangolin was actually the Ming Illusion Beast in disguise, but it appeared to be dead!
“That Ming Illusion Beast even feigned death and deceived us!” exclaimed the Black Tiger Overlord, his pupils constricting in surprise.
In an underground cave, Ye Tian’s hiding place.
Ye Tian had returned.
By this time, the body of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast he inhabited was in tatters. If not for the need to bring back the two Holy Dragon Fruits, he would have abandoned this beast body long ago.
Upon his return, Ye Tian took out the two Holy Dragon Fruits from his mouth, placed them on the ground, and immediately released his High-level Soul Transfer talent, returning his soul to his original body.
Without the soul, the body of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast became a completely broken corpse.
“Two Holy Dragon Fruits!”
Ye Tian stared intently at the two fruits, his heart overflowing with excitement.
He stored the two Holy Dragon Fruits in his personal space and then left the area.
He did not rush back to Zhonghai Super Base but planned to further enhance his strength before returning.
With his current strength, he could even rival the Battle Axe Emperor, but that was still far from enough!
Compared to the Black Dragon Overlord, he still had a long way to go.
If he wanted to protect Yue’er, his sister, and Zhonghai Super Base, he must have strength comparable to the Black Dragon Overlord.
Ye Tian planned to achieve a level of breaking through his body’s limit twice or even thrice before returning. By then, even if he could not defeat the Black Dragon Overlord, he would at least be able to survive against him, avoiding being helplessly hunted down.
Ye Tian returned to Fire Dragon Mountain, intending to use fire yuan Qi to further temper his body. At least for now, the effects of fire yuan Qi were still excellent for rapidly enhancing his physical strength.
As days swiftly passed, Ye Tian continuously tempered his body with the fire yuan Qi from the magma, growing stronger each day.
During this tempering process, he utilized a triple time acceleration, and with his Dawn-level tempering talent, his progress was exceptionally rapid.
“According to Yue’er, breaking through the second body limit is the simplest first bottleneck in the Emperor-level tempering phase. It usually takes about ten years to break this bottleneck. Breaking the third body limit, however, requires at least thirty-four years, or even forty to fifty years without sufficient opportunities and talent. Yue’er, with her Moon Sect inheritance and several fortuitous encounters, only recently broke through her third body limit. Even the Battle Axe Emperor has only just surpassed the third body limit!”
Ye Tian mused to himself.
An Emperor-level expert with a Moonlight-level tempering talent would need ten years to break the second body limit, but he didn’t.
With his Dawn-level tempering talent, which was at least five times faster, he would only need two years. And with the triple time acceleration, it would take at most eight months to break the second body limit.
The fire yuan Qi of Fire Dragon Mountain was effective in speeding up the process.
Ye Tian calculated that he might only need half a year to break through the second body limit.
By then, his strength would significantly increase, enough to defeat a great Emperor like the Battle Axe Emperor.
So, Ye Tian stayed on Fire Dragon Mountain for half a year, tempering day and night, disguised as another beast to keep other beasts aware that the territory had a new master.
In this undisturbed environment, Ye Tian tempered for over half a year.
At the mouth of Fire Dragon Mountain, within the magma.
Ye Tian was absorbing fire yuan Qi in the magma.
At this moment, his aura was constantly rising.
He was striving to break through the second body limit at the Emperor level. Once successful, his strength would surge dramatically.
Breaking the second body limit was not difficult, so Ye Tian was not worried.
The magma exploded, shaking the entire Fire Dragon Mountain.
A terrifying aura burst forth from Ye Tian.
He had succeeded in the breakthrough!
“After half a year, I’ve finally broken the second body limit, with my bodily strength reaching 200 Dragon Power, doubling my overall strength. In terms of attack power, I’m now comparable to the Battle Axe Emperor, and with my numerous talents, he is no longer a match for me!”
Ye Tian was filled with confidence.
After spending a few days to stabilize his realm, Ye Tian continued to temper.
However, he soon sensed that the effect of the fire yuan Qi on his body had weakened.
“Indeed, relying solely on a single Mystic-level attribute talent for body tempering becomes less effective over time. If I continue to use fire yuan Qi, it will take a long time to break the third body limit!”
Ye Tian couldn’t endure such slow progress and needed to switch to another type of yuan Qi for tempering.
Ye Tian left Fire Dragon Mountain in search of a new place for tempering.
After hypnotizing several beasts with his Hypnosis talent, he finally discovered a suitable location – Hurricane Cliff!
Hurricane Cliff was a unique place, with year-round hurricanes strong enough to tear apart King-level beasts. Apart from some wind-attribute beasts that liked staying there, other beasts didn’t dare to approach.
The wind there was loud and annoying, and the risk of being blown away deterred the beasts from liking the place.
But the wind yuan Qi there was exactly what Ye Tian needed. With his Mystic-level Storm talent, tempering in a place like Hurricane Cliff would definitely accelerate the tempering of his body.
