All My Beasts Are Legendary-Chapter 489 - The Ancient Cosmic Ape Revived
Chapter 489 - The Ancient Cosmic Ape Revived
Yun Tiesheng turned around and headed back to the Yun Clan?
At the Yanshen Sect, Yan Gujue was in a state of shock after he received Ye Xuan's message.
He figured that Yun Tiesheng most likely suffered the same fate he had, forced to offer up subservience to Ye Xuan in order to survive.
He was not surprised by the outcome, but rather how swiftly it went down. By the time he received the message Yun Tiesheng sent from the nearby transmission formation and relayed it to Ye Xuan, Yun Tiesheng was already defeated.
Shoo!
While Yan Gujue and Yan Yue were still recovering from their shock, Ye Xuan strolled through a space tunnel and arrived outside the Yanshen Sect.
Once inside, Ye Xuan sent one of the Tidal Treasure Snail clones from its beast lair to the Milky Star Way.
Even though the Milky Star Way was a force to be reckoned with the Cerulean Planet at its core, Ye Xuan still had many concerns regarding the safety of his homeland.
.Namely, the mysterious disappearance of several people shortly before the Immortal Ancient Continent descended upon his world. He was concerned for the people who went missing in the Milky Star Way.
He speculated that it could be some lurking threat that would negatively impact the Cerulean Planet.
As a cautionary measure, he sent a Treasure Snail clone to the Cerulean Planet every now and then to monitor any hazards that could potentially threaten the safety of the Milky Star Way.
Ye Xuan was surprised that the likes of Yan Yue and Yun Mao had already returned from the Immortal Ancient Continent. Yet, he still had no updates from those who had disappeared.
"Fu Tianhao hasn't moved." Ye Xuan checked Fu Tianhao's position again and detected zero traces of movement.
However, that news did not reassure him.
He knew that Fu Tianhao was after him and would not let him off the hook that easily.
One of the possible explanations was that he got caught up in something he could not get out of.
At the same time, he could have already sent his henchman to look for Ye Xuan.
"Whichever it is, I must get stronger as soon as possible!"
...
"Rumble!"
Tianyuan Star Zone, edge of the Taien Constellation, Dark Captive Planet.
With a thundering boom, the ginormous Dark Captive Planet was reduced to a large mass of space dust.
Chaotic strands of blackened mists burst out from the ashen remains of the razed planet. At the eye of the dark storm, a giant three headed monkey with six arms roared triumphantly. It wielded a golden staff with such might that the starry space around it twisted and trembled.
With a single swipe, countless stars were reduced to dust.
The ape pranced around and suddenly vanished into the dark space. Destructions aside, the space fell back to its usual silence. It was as if the ape was never there.
However, the damage was done. Every single life form on the Dark Captive Planet, no matter its power and size, was decimated in the wake of the ape's destruction. They, along with every single substance on the planet, were reduced to granular dust.
"What happened on the Dark Captive Planet?"
Shortly after the Dark Captive Planet incident, Ye Xuan received a report on the matter from the Emperor of Taien.
Ye Xuan was taken aback by the news. He had planned on heading over to the Dark Captive Planet once he had gotten stronger. He was quite eager to learn more about the situation on that planet.
However, that plan was foiled now that the Dark Captive Planet had been destroyed.
"Hmm, so that ancient ape was truly revived?" A spark of intensity flashed across Ye Xuan's eyes.
He thought about his beast, the Illuminating Spirit Monkey.
It had superb potential that exceeded even his Tidal Treasure Snail.
Furthermore, it was a combat-type beast, whereas the Tidal Treasure Snail was a support-type beast.
Therefore, Ye Xuan placed a lot of emphasis on the development of his Illuminating Spirit Monkey.
If he wasn't so busy with the developments of his other beasts, the monkey would definitely be his top priority right now.
That day when he saw that the Dark Captive Planet was planning on reviving the Ancient Cosmic Ape, he felt like the materials they used would be greatly beneficial to his Illuminating Spirit Monkey.
However, the Ancient Cosmic Ape was long gone now.
"Damn it, where did it go?"
"And how strong is this fellow now?"
Those were the questions Ye Xuan had about the Ancient Cosmic Ape.
The Tidal Treasure Snail had the ability to sense a life form's cultivation level.
However, since Ye Xuan monitored the Ancient Cosmic Ape before it was revived, he could not get a read on its cultivation level.
All it could sense from it was a strong feeling of danger.
Even though he wielded Mythic-level power in his current state, he was still uncertain whether he would be a match against the might of the Ancient Cosmic Ape.
"I'll think about him later." Ye Xuan shook his head. All this thinking was beginning to give him a headache.
Ye Xuan had his priorities right now.
Even though that Ancient Cosmic Ape had a high chance of being stronger than him and the materials it possessed were highly valuable to him, the utmost important thing right now was for him to improve his cultivation.
The best way for him to cultivate right now was to take control of the entire Canglan Star Zone and obtain huge amounts of luck.
Even Fu Tianhao possessed half eternal-level cultivation. What about the other powerful figures in the Imperial World? How strong would they be?
If he did not spend his every previous second on improving himself and taking over more factions, by the time those people arrive, he would not have a chance to stand against them.
"Seven hundred million..." Ye Xuan checked his luck points. Since the last time he visited the Dragon Palace of the Azure Sea's item exchange panel, his luck points increased by a hundred million.
Clearly, this was due to the contribution of the thirteen emperors in the Tianyuan Star Zone spreading his fame across their empires.
In addition, the Milky Star Way was also providing him with revenue of luck points with each passing second.
However, in comparison to the amount the Tianyuan Star Zone generated, the luck points provided by the Milky Star Way was really insignificant.
"Lord, according to our reports, the Lord of Canglan should be arriving soon." While Ye Xuan was waiting in the Yanshen Sect, Yan Gujue approached him with a message.
"They are almost here?"
Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with excitement after hearing Yan Gujue's words.
He was getting quite bored at the Canglan Star Zone and planned on moving on to other star zones as soon as he finished taking control here.
He wanted to establish the Tianyuan Star Zone as his power base and extend out to take over the nearby star zones.
In order to accomplish that, he really had no time to waste.
He stood up immediately after Yan Gujue's report ended.
While Ye Xuan was busy making his preparations, the Lord of Canglan and two others appeared outside a transmission portal and began making their way to the Yanshen Sect.
During their journey, a burly man with two ox horns on his forehead complained to Yan Gujue in his gravelly voice.
"I don't know what happened with that Yun Tiesheng fellow. I received news earlier that he along with Yun Mao was heading towards the Yuanshen Sect before us. I thought he had joined the Yanshen Sector at least forged an alliance with them or something. It seemed like that he betrayed us, but he did not even arrive at the Yanshen Sect before turning around and heading back to the Yun Clan."
"Whatever tricks Yun Tiesheng is planning, we must take down the Yanshen Sect this time. With us three immortals working together, it should be an easy task!"
The Lord of Canglan stood at the middle of the three. His eyes burned with intensity. "Yan Yue must have been to the Immortal Ancient Continent and encountered some sort of unfathomable inheritance. That is the only possible explanation as to why he could evolve from peak starlight-level to peak emperor-level in such a short amount of time!"
"We must find out what his secret is and stop him from getting stronger. At this rate, it would not be long before the entire Canglan Star Zone would fall into his pockets!"
Hearing the Lord of Canglan's solemn tone, the man with two large horns and a woman dressed in a long blue robe both nodded gravely.
The objective of their trip was to find out about Yan Yue's secret.
In the past, they had always worked with the Yanshen Sect to counteract the dominance of the Lord of Canglan, so that no one faction was too powerful in the Canglan Star Zone.
However, since Yan Yue had gotten stronger and stronger, they felt curious and threatened enough to work with the Lord of Canglan to find out about his secret.
Even so, all they wanted was to learn about the secret and incorporate it on their own.
They did not wish to exercise violence against the Yanshen Sect.
If it should come down to that, it will be the Lord of Canglan's idea, not theirs.
They knew that once the Yanshen Sect was gone, they were likely the Lord of Canglan's next targets.
"Aside from Yan Yue, we need to keep an eye on that Ye Xuan. I heard he is from the Tianyuan Star Zone and the leader of some Great Xia Alliance. Not much is known about him aside from the fact that he took over the entire Tianyuan Star Zone in an incredibly short span of time."
"He seems like a man of great ambition. It wouldn't be long before he turns his sight on our Canglan Star Zone."
The woman in the blue robe changed the topic and brought up Ye Xuan.
"Yes... this Ye Xuan fellow. Once we are done with the Yanshen Sect, we definitely need to figure out how to deal with him."
The Lord of Canglan nodded at the blue robed woman's words. He remembered the beast clone he lost a while ago. It most likely died at Ye Xuan's hand.
Even though he was furious at Ye Xuan, he decided it would be unwise to engage him directly.
He would much rather find out more about his power and abilities first.
After all, anyone who was able to unite the entire Tianyuan Star Zone under his banner in such a short amount of time could not be an ordinary fellow.
After a brief journey, the party of three arrived at the border of the Yanshen Sect.
"Yan Gujue, you know that we are coming. Why do you not come out to greet us?" Gazing at the Yanshen Sect floating in the distance, the Lord of Canglan announced his arrival. His booming voice carried across the field and echoed all throughout the realm.
At the same time, he unleashed his aura to cloak the entire Yanshen Sect. The pressure he exerted aroused fear among the Yanshen Sect disciples.
"What is going on? Why is the Lord of Canglan here? What does he want with us? Are we going to war?"
Inside the Yanshen Sect, all the disciples felt the Lord of Canglan's dreadful aura and cowered in fear.
The Lord of Canglan was the strongest person in the Canglan Star Zone.
Hence the reason why the star zone was named after him.
His fame and renown were second to none in the Canglan Star Zone.
Even though the Yanshen Sect was the second strongest faction in the Canglan Star Zone, its disciples were no match compared to the Lord of Canglan's subordinates.
When the Lord of Canglan spoke, the people of Yanshen Sect gazed toward the sky and saw his terrifying figure.
At the same time, they saw the burly man with two ox horns and the blue robed woman at the Lord of Canglan's side.
They knew those two to be the two other immortal-level faction leaders of the Canglan Star Zone.
The burly man was the head of the Force Demon Sect, Niu Xiangtian.
The woman was the head of the Ocean and Cloud Sect, Guo Ningyun.
Even though both of them were weaker than Yan Gujue, they were nonetheless high immortal-level warriors.
Their beast tamer levels were slightly lower, sitting at mid immortal-level.
The presence of the three immortals descending on the Yanshen Sect shrouded the sect disciples with fear and anxiety.
Ye Xuan observed everything that was happening from a distant mountain peak. Yan Gujue and Yan Yue stood beside him on both sides.
They remained expressionless during the whole procession of the Lord of Canglan's arrival.
If this was before, they would have been very frightened to face the Lord of Canglan.
But it was different now. They had Ye Xuan on their side.
The likes of the Lord of Canglan, Niu Xiangtian and Guo Ningyun were no match for Ye Xuan.
It would be straight up suicide for them should they choose to take on Ye Xuan.
"Lord?" Yan Gujue's tone was inquisitive.
"Let's go." Ye Xuan replied bluntly.
Feeling Yan Gujue's burning gaze, Ye Xuan nodded and teleported his party of three to an open area above the Yanshen Sect.
A split second later, they were face to face with the Lord of Canglan's party of three.
"Canglan, we've been expecting you." Yan Gujue addressed his adversary directly.
"What the?" The Lord of Canglan and his party was surprised by Ye Xuan's entrance.
They noticed that Ye Xuan stood at the center of the three, in between Yan Gujue and Yan Yue.
"Who are you?" The Lord of Canglan stared at Ye Xuan intently. He felt a strong sense of danger from this young man.
He summoned his Ancient Dragon Whale, a beast stretching for tens of thousands of meters in length. It swept its long tail back and forth, generating powerful space ripples.
At the same time, Niu Xiangtian and Guo Ningyun both summoned their beasts.
They were ready for combat against Ye Xuan's entourage.
They were confused as to why Ye Xuan did not give off a particularly strong aura, but his presence and position between Yan Yue and Yan Gujue signified his strength and danger.
They all caught that hidden sense of danger about him.
It was as if they were up against a wily foe that concealed his deadliest weapons.
"I am Ye Xuan, the Lord of Xia." Ye Xuan replied in his casual tone.
"So you are Ye Xuan!" The Lord of Canglan and his two accomplices flinched upon hearing Ye Xuan's name.
They were just discussing Ye Xuan's identity a while ago. They had speculated the likelihood for him to launch an invasion to take over the Canglan Star Zone.
They did not think they would meet him here, not that quickly.
Meeting him here could only mean one thing. Ye Xuan had already begun his takeover of the Canglan Star Zone.
"Yan Gujue, you lured Ye Xuan here to deal with us. Do you not fear that he would turn on you and swallow us whole?" the Lord of Canglan asked Yan Gujue harshly.
Even though the sect leader of the Yanshen Sect was now Yan Yue, the Lord of Canglan and the others still regarded Yan Gujue as the head of the sect.
"Swallow us whole?" Yan Gujue laughed incredulously. "The Yanshen Sect had already joined the Great Xia Alliance, why shouldn't we swallow you whole?"
The reason Ye Xuan waited for the Lord of Canglan and his entourage to arrive as opposed to going out to meet them was that he wanted Yan Gujue to announce the Yanshen Sect joining the Great Xia Alliance here.
He wanted the Yanshen Sect disciples to witness his power and contribute to his luck points.
The Yanshen Sect joined the Great Xia Alliance?
The Lord of Canglan was in shock. He then immediately thought about the Yun Clan.
At the same time, Niu Xiangtian and Guo Ningyun also reached the same conclusion.
One by one, their expressions shifted from confidence to alarm.
"Ye Xuan, I've been anxious to see how strong you are." The Lord of Canglan clenched his jaw. He knew there was no turning back anymore.
He felt the lurking danger in Ye Xuan's presence. There was nothing overwhelming about his aura, but rather a fearful presence branded in his soul.
Also, from his beast's special analyzing ability, the Lord of Canglan could tell that Ye Xuan was at immortal-level like him.
As a matter of fact, he felt that Ye Xuan's cultivation level was slightly worse than his.
"See how strong I am?" Ye Xuan mocked a laugh.
Then he tapped into the Golden Dragon of Luck and merged with it.
Rumble!
In a split second, the aura released by the Lord of Canglan was overtaken by Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan floated up in the void. Radiant beams of gold light emanated from his body, illuminating the starry night sky.
He met the Lord of Canglan's frightful gaze and raised his hand.
