Chapter 186: A Battle of Emperor Level!

TL: Etude

Empress Yue gazed at Ye Tian, somewhat believing but also hesitant to be certain. If she used the Moon God Mirror to observe, she could definitely determine whether the ferocious beast was in the valley. However, she couldn't use the Moon God Mirror because those with powerful souls could vaguely perceive its existence. Last time, her Moon God Mirror was discovered by the enemy. Therefore, this time, she absolutely could not use the Moon God Mirror again.

"Alright, I believe you!" Empress Yue picked up a communication device, opened it to send a message to the Battle Axe Emperor and others, and pinpointed their current location.

"I have informed the Battle Axe Emperor and his party, let's wait patiently," Empress Yue said.

On the other side, the Battle Axe Emperor received Empress Yue's message and quickly summoned many Emperors. This time, the Battle Axe Emperor planned to lead eighty percent of the Emperors to encircle and exterminate the Emperor-level beasts, while the base would activate various defensive arrays. In this way, even if they were attacked by many Emperor-level beasts, they could hold on for a while.

Once the Emperors gathered, the Battle Axe Emperor shouted, "Depart!"

Boom!

One after another, the Emperors soared into the sky, turning into streaks of light and disappearing into the horizon. Everyone at the base knew that a tremendous battle was about to begin.

A few hours later, Empress Yue received a message from the Battle Axe Emperor:

"Ye Tian, the Battle Axe Emperor and his party have arrived. They are currently concealing their presence and slowly approaching. You take me to meet them, and then you leave first. You can't get involved in such an Emperor-level battle!"

"Okay!" Ye Tian nodded. He did not want to overestimate his abilities. With his current strength, he could deal with ordinary Emperor-level beasts, but his presence or absence wouldn't make much difference in such a battle, so there was no need for him to participate.

Ye Tian led Empress Yue towards the distant figures, quickly encountering the many Emperors who were on their way.

"So many Emperors!"

This was the first time Ye Tian had seen so many Emperors. Counting carefully, there were a total of 126 Emperors.

Not far away, the Battle Axe Emperor, who was flying low and slowly, heard a voice:

"Battle Axe Emperor!"

"It's Empress Yue!" realized the Battle Axe Emperor. The next moment, two figures appeared nearby – it was Ye Tian and Empress Yue.

"You can let go of my hand now," Empress Yue said, staring at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian reluctantly let go of her hand. Many Emperors were shocked; they were unaware of Ye Tian's assistance to Empress Yue and his talent for invisibility. They only saw Ye Tian holding Empress Yue's hand! To them, it was unimaginable; others couldn't even get within ten meters of Empress Yue, and here was Ye Tian, a Saint-level, holding her hand so closely. Could it be that Empress Yue took a fancy to Ye Tian?

"Impossible!" many Emperors thought in their hearts. In their eyes, although Empress Yue was incomparably beautiful, like a moon goddess descending to earth, her nature was cold, and she never showed any affection towards men. This was evident from the fact that she did not allow male disciples in her Moon God Sect. How could such a woman easily fall for a Saint-level individual!

Empress Yue flew over and said, "Battle Axe Emperor, Ye Tian has discovered the Emperor-level beast, but there are many Emperor-level beasts in that valley, at least no less than eighty!"

"So many Emperor-level beasts!" The Battle Axe Emperor was somewhat surprised. It was beyond his expectation that the enemy had gathered so many Emperor-level beasts in such a short time.

Emperor-level beasts generally acted independently, making it difficult for them to unite, which was one of the reasons why humans could hold the spatial rifts. If all the beasts united, humans could not defend them.

The number of Emperor-level beasts was far greater than that of human Emperors, even more than ten times as many.

"Just eighty Emperor-level beasts, ordinary ones at that. I alone can kill a group of them. This time, nearly half of our Emperors are here, are we still afraid of them?" Blood Eye Witch Emperor said confidently.

"Surround the valley and kill the Emperor-level beast capable of soul attacks at all costs, understood?" the Battle Axe Emperor said solemnly.

"Battle Axe Emperor, we understand!" the Emperors responded.

The many Emperors responded in unison.

"Let's go!" The Battle Axe Emperor led the Emperors, slowly flying towards the destination, with Empress Yue naturally following. As for Ye Tian, the Emperors paid him no further attention. His task was completed, and whether he stayed or left was of no concern to them.

Ye Tian didn't leave but instead retreated to a safe distance. He knew that getting caught in a battle of this scale would spell trouble for him. Retreating a hundred thousand kilometers away, he entered a state of invisibility and began to observe the battle.

Soon, continuous explosions of battle echoed, as if tearing the world apart, the sky seeming to be ripped open by the light. Countless mountains shattered, and the earth sank. Many landscapes vanished, rivers dried up, and countless ordinary beasts were caught in the crossfire, turning to ashes.

"It'll probably not end soon. I should merge the talents I just copied to safeguard myself in case of any emergency," Ye Tian thought.

He started with the Soul Spike talent, a soul attack talent he had long coveted for its rarity.

"Merge!"

The Soul Spike talent began to integrate with Ye Tian's soul. Intense pain surged from the depths of his soul, but Ye Tian endured it.

Ten minutes later, he successfully merged the top-tier Soul Spike talent.

"As expected of a soul attack talent!" Ye Tian exclaimed in joy.

Nearby, there was a low-level beast which he targeted with his newly acquired top-tier Soul Spike talent. An invisible force of soul energy formed a spike that instantly pierced through the beast's soul. Silently, the beast fell to the ground, dead.

Ye Tian then tried attacking other beasts. Whether it was intermediate, advanced, top-level beasts, or even King Beasts, none could withstand his Soul Spike talent, all having their souls obliterated in a single strike. Even ordinary Saint-level beasts were killed by him with two strikes.

However, the Soul Spike talent was not limitless in its use. It could be used up to fifty times before needing several days of rest for his soul power to recover.

Next, Ye Tian merged the 50% Pseudo-Mystic level Healing talent, another life-saving ability. Ten minutes later, his Healing talent successfully evolved, increasing his healing speed by several times.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian sensed that the intensity of the distant battle had greatly diminished, indicating heavy losses on both sides.

"I wonder how many human Emperors have fallen?" he pondered with a sigh.

Then, he thought of Empress Yue.

"I hope Empress Yue is alright," he worried, unsure if he was more concerned about her wellbeing or his reward. Among all the Emperors, the last person he wanted to see harmed was naturally Empress Yue.

Suddenly, a thunderous noise erupted! Even from a hundred thousand kilometers away, Ye Tian felt the ground shake, and the mountains tremble. At that moment, a message came through his communicator:

"Ye Tian, run for your life!"

"Something's happened!" Ye Tian immediately realized.
