Chapter 199: Seizing the Prize!

TL: Etude

Ye Tian was acutely aware that the remaining eleven fearsome beast overlords had not yet resorted to desperate measures. If he attempted to stealthily snatch a Dragon Fruit at this moment, escape would be impossible. Although the eleven beast overlords couldn't detect his stealth talent, they could launch area of effect attacks. With his speed, he can't escape even if he teleports.

With only eight Holy Dragon Fruits left, the eleven beast overlords would certainly not let one be easily stolen. They would soon engage in a fierce battle to prevent the other beast overlords from snatching the Dragon Fruits. In this way, the battle will slowly turn desperate.

This would be Ye Tian's chance! He could stealthily approach the Holy Dragon Tree and seize a Dragon Fruit. Even if the eleven beast overlords noticed him, they would be too caught up in their deadly fight to react in time. This would provide Ye Tian with a chance to escape.

Of course, if Ye Tian fled, the beast overlords would definitely launch a barrage of attacks. However, if he could withstand a few waves of their assault, there was hope he could survive. Most crucially, the beast overlords couldn't all chase after him, as they wouldn't foolishly abandon the remaining Dragon Fruits on the tree. The odds of Ye Tian's success were still quite high!

Soon, the eleven beast overlords began to fight more fiercely, truly putting their lives on the line.

"I must act now!" Ye Tian thought, his eyes flickering with determination.

If he delayed any longer, the remaining 8 Holy Dragon Fruits would be plucked by them, and it would be unrealistic to try to snatch them from the beast overload then.

Whoosh!

Ye Tian activated his stealth talent and approached the Dragon Fruit tree. At this moment, the attention of the other Emperor-level ferocious beasts was solely on the Dragon Fruits and the battle of the eleven beast overlords, completely unaware of Ye Tian's disappearance.

Being invisible, Ye Tian swiftly flew towards the tree. Even though his rapid flight and collision with their aura caused yuan force ripples, it was insignificant compared to the massive yuan force fluctuations caused by the battling beast overlords. Amidst such an intense battle, they would not notice the ripple caused by Ye Tian.

In an instant, Ye Tian was close to a Dragon Fruit. His target was not one, but two Dragon Fruits. Dragon Fruits that grew on the Dragon Tree were not easily plucked. Otherwise, the nine fruits would have been blown away in the aftermath of the battle.

The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast didn't have claws, although it could manifest them, but plucking two Dragon Fruits would be time-consuming, even a tenth of a second's delay was too much.

"Use the Spatial Blade!" Ye Tian decided instantly.

"Slash!"

The Spatial Blade appeared, cutting down two Dragon Fruits in one strike. As he launched his attack, Ye Tian's figure was revealed. However, he did not panic. He swallowed the two rapidly falling Dragon Fruits, storing them inside his body, and prepared to flee.

"Dragon Eyes, you're seeking death!"

The furious roars of the beast overlords echoed. They were enraged! While they were busy fighting and preventing other beast overlords from stealing Dragon Fruits, a minor Emperor-level Dragon Eye Crystal Beast dared to snatch two fruits! Even the top beast overlord, the Golden Horned Silver Emperor, wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

"Kill!" They attacked in rage. Brilliant light almost engulfed Ye Tian.

"Teleport!"

"Spatial Blade!" After unleashing a Spatial Blade, Ye Tian instantly teleported away, even activating his time talent.

Thousands of miles away, half of Ye Tian's body teleported in, while the other half was annihilated. Since it was the body of a Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, he wasn't particularly concerned.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! Three beast overlords pursued him, including the Black Dragon Overlord, the Xuan Turtle Lord, and the Black Tiger Overlord. As for the other beast overlords, they didn't join the chase!

As for the other fearsome beast overlords, they did not pursue him! They weren't foolish. If another beast overlord joined the chase, then four of them would be vying for two Dragon Fruits, while the remaining seven would be left to compete for the six Dragon Fruits still on the tree. It was clear which option was more advantageous, and they were not incapable of making such calculations.

"Only three beast overlords!" Ye Tian observed as the divine consciousness of the three beast overlords instantly covered an area of hundreds of thousands of miles, encompassing him as well.

"I can't use stealth!" he thought.

If he used stealth, he couldn't teleport, as teleportation would disrupt the stealth ability. In a stealth state, he could only fly; doing anything else would render the ability too overpowered. Such an invincible power couldn't possibly exist in the world!

He couldn't use stealth now, as there were no ferocious beasts in this area. If he was here, he would easily be found by their area of effect attacks.

"Teleport! Teleport! Teleport!" Ye Tian activated the bloodline power of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, teleporting without reserve. Yet, even so, he was quickly caught up.

But Ye Tian had achieved his goal! There were many ferocious beasts in this area.

Boom!

A Lesser Dragon's tail struck, hitting Ye Tian.

"Five Elements Transformation Talent—Five Elements Iron Armor!" "Mystic-level Defensive Talent!" "Pseudo-Mystic-level Diamond Bone Talent!" Ye Tian deployed three defensive talents in succession, greatly enhancing his defense, much stronger than the defense of the Blood Eye Witch Emperor.

The Black Dragon Overlord could kill the Blood Eye Witch Emperor in one hit, but definitely not him. With a thunderous boom, Ye Tian's body was sent flying, crashing into the earth. At that moment, the Xuan Turtle's attack arrived, a water column annihilating all life within a hundred thousand miles, naturally covering Ye Tian as well.

Inside the earth, Ye Tian's body was critically injured and on the brink of death, but he didn't care.

"Disguise Talent!"

He instantly disguised himself as a common Pangolin Emperor-level ferocious beast and activated his feign death talent. At that moment, he looked just like a Pangolin that had died as a result of the collateral damage.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The three beast overlords arrived, scanning the area with their divine consciousness, but they did not detect Ye Tian.

"It can use stealth. It must have turned invisible!" the Xuan Turtle realized.

Boom, boom, boom!

Area of effect attacks descended upon the area, and Ye Tian, disguised as a Pangolin, suffered again, enduring the onslaught with his three defensive abilities. After all, these were only area of effect attacks, not focused ones, so he could withstand them.

After several attacks, the three beast overlords still didn't discover Ye Tian. Normally, they would be able to sense a hidden creature once hit, but now they couldn't, proving that no creature was hiding in this area.

"Damn, it must have teleported away while we were distracted, let's pursue!" the Black Dragon Overlord roared angrily. They couldn't delay, or they would miss out on the Holy Dragon Fruits.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The three beast overlords immediately left, searching other areas.

"I must leave immediately. If the three beast overlords think it through carefully, they'll realize that it wasn't the real Dragon Eye Crystal Beast and will suspect the first to leave, the Ming Illusion Beast. The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast naturally can't use stealth, nor space blade and teleport. They'll definitely think the Ming Illusion Beast impersonated the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast to steal the fruits. Later, they will certainly return to inspect the corpses of these ferocious beasts, and I'll be exposed then!"

Thus, Ye Tian quickly entered a stealth state and swiftly flew away in another direction.
