In the sky above, Ye Tian flew hand in hand with his wife, Empress Yue, heading straight for the seaside.
Their speed was not fast, as they were sightseeing, not hurrying on a journey.
Before long, they saw a huge base. Although it was not as large as Zhonghai Super Base, it was still one of the major bases.
“Yue’er, which major base is that?”
Ye Tian asked Empress Yue.
Empress Yue knew much more than him, especially about the locations of major bases in Huaxia. He knew only a few, but Empress Yue knew many.
“This should be the Fuhai Major Base!”
The two arrived above the Fuhai Major Base, only to see that it seemed to be in trouble.
“Beasts are attacking the base!”
The situation at Fuhai Major Base seemed dire. Many beasts were besieging it, including some comparable to two-star King-level in strength, and even a three-star King-level beast in command.
Such power was enough to breach the defenses of the Fuhai Major Base!
If it were a normal beast attack, Ye Tian wouldn’t be surprised, as such incidents had occurred many times. However, the beasts below were mainly sea beasts.
“Husband, something is not right!”
Empress Yue said, frowning slightly.
“It seems there is a problem!” Ye Tian murmured.
Normally, sea beasts wouldn’t leave the ocean to enter land, unless attracted by something, or under other special circumstances.
“I’ll capture a King beast and ask!”
Ye Tian teleported to the battlefield, using his spatial talent to imprison the strongest King beast.
This was an octopus-like King beast, a hundred meters tall, with a huge eye.
From the talent situation, Ye Tian learned the name of this beast — the One-Eyed Claw Monster!
Ye Tian activated his hypnosis talent, hypnotizing the One-Eyed Claw Monster.
“Why attack the Fuhai Major Base?”
Ye Tian interrogated.
“My master ordered us to attack this base. After taking it down, we are to seize human resources for the master!”
The One-Eyed Claw Monster responded.
“Who is your master?”
Before the One-Eyed Claw Monster could speak, its soul completely dissipated.
Ye Tian’s expression changed; it was soul backlash.
This was a rare type of soul backlash, probably called a Life Oath. Once violated, the soul would be utterly destroyed.
Clearly, the One-Eyed Claw Monster’s master had ordered it not to reveal its master’s name. Violating this order meant total annihilation.
Though it wasn’t its intention to reveal the name, under the effect of the Life Oath, even unintended revelations would come true.
“The opponent doesn’t want to reveal their identity, hence they gave this order to the One-Eyed Claw Monster. Strange. If it was a powerful sea beast, there would be no need for such secrecy. The opponent is clearly afraid of humans discovering their identity. But if so, why attack human bases? And why does the human behind the One-Eyed Claw Monster want to collect human resources? Very strange!”
Ye Tian felt the situation was more complicated than it seemed. The master behind the One-Eyed Claw Monster definitely had a problem, and a big one.
Under normal circumstances, he might have ignored it, but the opponent clearly aimed to attack human major bases, seeking to destroy them. If he didn’t intervene, many more bases might suffer.
“Everyone, retreat to the base!”
Ye Tian turned around, his voice covering the entire battlefield.
At the same time, a powerful aura spread out.
The King-level warriors at Fuhai Base, knowing Ye Tian must be above King-level, quickly ordered everyone to retreat into the base.
Before long, all the warriors had retreated.
At this moment, Ye Tian deployed his Five Elements Transformation talent, turning it into a Fire Domain talent. (TL: Domain Expansion!!!)
This was a God-level talent!
A sea of fire descended, annihilating countless beasts.
In an instant, the vast battlefield was devoid of any beasts.
Indeed, the Fire Domain talent was extremely powerful in group attacks, capable of annihilating countless beasts instantly.
The Fire Domain talent was indeed very powerful in group attacks, instantly annihilating countless ferocious beasts.
When all the beasts were dead, Ye Tian retracted his Fire Domain talent.
A King-level warrior flew over.
“I am Lin Long from the Fuhai Major Base, greeting you, sir!”
Lin Long spoke with gratitude and awe.
“I was just passing by. This beast tide is not simple. You should strengthen the vigilance at Fuhai Major Base!”
Ye Tian advised, then flew away.
Ye Tian rejoined Empress Yue.
“Yue’er, the situation is complicated. This beast tide is not accidental; it’s premeditated. The enemy aims to breach the base and seize resources. If it’s just beasts, it would be less worrying, but I fear it’s…” Ye Tian said with a frown.
“Husband, are you suggesting humans?”
Empress Yue’s expression changed.
“Exactly!” Ye Tian nodded. “Beasts do not need human things. Even if they attack human bases, they see us as enemies, seeking to occupy a territory as their domain. Only humans would need human resources and treasures.”
“In this era, are there such depraved humans?” Empress Yue looked troubled.
“Yes, all kinds of humans exist. We must investigate this matter.”
Empress Yue strongly agreed with Ye Tian’s decision. If they didn’t investigate, should a major base be breached, not hundreds or thousands, but tens of millions of humans could die.
“Where shall we investigate?”
“The sea!” Ye Tian pointed towards the ocean. “The sea beasts came from the ocean; naturally, we should go to the sea.”
“That’s perfect, we were going to tour the seaside anyway. We can investigate this matter en route!”
Empress Yue readily agreed.
The two flew towards the seaside and soon disappeared from view.
“We’ve reached the sea!”
Ye Tian and Empress Yue stopped, gazing at the vast, endless ocean ahead.
As soon as they approached the sea, an immensely rich water yuan qi hit them.
“The cultivation environment in the sea is even better than on land!”
Ye Tian was somewhat surprised.
However, cultivating in the sea was far more dangerous than on land, with countless ferocious beasts inhabiting it.
Ye Tian even suspected whether there could be beasts in the sea surpassing Emperor-level.
The ocean had the most life forms, and naturally, the most ferocious beasts. Moreover, the sea’s area was much larger than land, with countless spatial rifts.
These rifts, unguarded by anyone, allowed beasts from the beast world to freely enter Earth.
Thus, the sea inevitably became the most terrifying forbidden area!
Over the next few days, Ye Tian searched this sea area, mostly in stealth, without attracting any beast’s attention.
Just when Ye Tian was about to give up, he unexpectedly discovered a group of more than a dozen King-level ferocious beasts emerging from the sea, heading towards Fuhai Major Base.
This time, Ye Tian did not use hypnosis but secretly followed these beasts.
Beasts communicate with each other too, and these beasts chatted while on their way.
“How could the One-Eyed Claw Monster die? A major base, although hard to breach according to the master’s information, shouldn’t be enough to kill it with its strength, right?”
“Could it be that a strong human appeared? Our master is also human; if another human’s powerhouse appeared, it would make sense for the One-Eyed Claw Monster to be killed!”
“Shush, be careful, don’t reveal our master’s identity. Have you forgotten the Life Oath we took?”
“The master only told us not to reveal his name. I didn’t say much, and there’s only us nearby, no need to worry!”
“Let’s investigate quickly and return. There’s no water on land, too uncomfortable. I don’t want to stay here for long.”
The beasts were unaware that Ye Tian had overheard their conversation.
“So, it’s humans! As long as they don’t say the name, the Life Oath won’t trigger, huh? That makes it easy!”
Ye Tian smirked coldly, once again using his hypnosis talent on these beasts.
