Emperor Ling and Ming Kong were deeply shocked. A ferocious beast had managed to approach them without their knowledge.
Who was this adversary?
Their stealth skills were so formidable, clearly not that of an ordinary Emperor-level ferocious beast.
Yet, Beast Ling was not afraid. Although its strength might not be the strongest in the Ape-Dragon Beast Realm, if it wanted to escape, there were few beasts in the entire realm that could stop it.
Ming Kong instantly activated his invisibility talent and entered a state of stealth.
Ye Tian’s Eye of Insight observed Ming Kong, clearly seeing him even in his invisible state.
Ye Tian launched an attack with his soul talent.
Ye Tian’s soul was incredibly powerful, while Ming Kong’s soul was much weaker. Ye Tian’s Soul Spike was a top-level talent, and although Ming Kong also had a soul attack talent—the Soul Spear—it wasn’t a defensive soul talent and was only of high level.
Thus, Ming Kong couldn’t withstand Ye Tian’s Soul Spike.
“Not good, a soul attack!”
Ming Kong was terrified and instinctively released the Soul Spear, trying to counter the unknown enemy’s soul attack.
A crisp sound echoed in the void, and the Soul Spear was shattered by the Soul Spike, which instantly pierced through Ming Kong’s soul.
With just one strike, Ming Kong’s soul was annihilated.
Upon Ming Kong’s death, his corpse could no longer remain invisible and fell from mid-air.
Emperor Ling was utterly terrified.
Ming Kong was in an invisible state just now, and almost no beast could see through his invisibility talent. Moreover, even if someone did see through it, killing Ming Kong in one strike was not an easy feat, especially under his watchful eye, and without making a sound. This was even more terrifying!
Those three-eyed monkeys also fell one by one, dying silently.
Seeing this, Emperor Ling realized that Ye Tian possessed a bizarre soul attack, much more powerful than Ming Kong’s. Such a beast was extremely dangerous.
Emperor Ling’s consciousness continuously probed the surroundings, but he couldn’t detect Ye Tian.
“Are you also a Ming Illusion Beast?”
Emperor Ling tentatively asked.
But something didn’t seem right. There weren’t many Ming Illusion Beasts, and if the opponent was one, why would they kill Ming Kong first?
A figure appeared before him.
This time, Ye Tian didn’t disguise himself as a ferocious beast, but appeared in his true form.
There was no need for disguises anymore.
In his eyes, Emperor Ling had no chance of escape, and he had already found the Enlightenment Stele, achieving his goal!
Emperor Ling’s expression drastically changed.
He recognized Ye Tian, a Saint-level human whom he had once helped King Kong kill from afar by freezing space across realms.
He clearly saw Ye Tian being pierced and killed by a spear, his body splitting apart.
But now, Ye Tian appeared before him again.
How was this possible?
“Curious how I didn’t die?” Ye Tian sneered, “What you killed that day was just one of my decoy corpses. The real me was hidden away. Did you really think you could kill me? If it weren’t for my fear of your wide-range attacks harming others that day, I would have gone invisible and hidden. You several Emperor-level ferocious beasts couldn’t have hurt me. Of course, I also created the illusion of fake death, making you give up on revenge.”
“So that’s how it is!”
Emperor Ling had a moment of realization.
Then, he coldly said, “Are you here for revenge? Although I’m not sure why you have the abilities of the Ming Illusion Beast clan, I possess top-level spatial talent. Your soul attack can’t kill me in one hit. If you can’t kill me, I can escape in an instant!”
“Revenge? No, no, no. My purpose in coming to this world of ferocious beasts was the Enlightenment Stele. I originally didn’t intend to kill you, but coincidentally, you got hold of the Enlightenment Stele!” Ye Tian explained calmly.
“The Enlightenment Stele! Indeed, who wouldn’t want such a rare object!”
Emperor Ling felt a bit afraid.
Ye Tian’s ability to cross a three-star level spatial rift and forcibly enter the Ape-Dragon Beast Realm was a testament to his immense strength.
Earlier, when King Kong transmitted a message about a human Emperor-level entering the Ape-Dragon Beast Realm, he scoffed at it, not believing it.
But now, he had no choice but to believe.
Indeed, a human Emperor-level had entered the beast realm, and it was their enemy—Ye Tian!
“Alright, I’ll give you the Enlightenment Stele. I’m leaving!”
Emperor Ling said, preparing to teleport away.
A force of spatial energy suppressed the void, freezing the space around the entire mountain.
“Spatial Imprisonment!”
Emperor Ling was all too familiar with this ability.
But Ye Tian’s spatial imprisonment was far more powerful than his, containing an aura he had never encountered before…
Emperor Ling trembled.
The opponent also possessed a spatial talent, and it had even reached the Pseudo-Mystic level, a realm he had longed for!
Yet, despite his years of hard cultivation, he had never been able to elevate his top-level spatial talent to the Pseudo-Mystic level. Now, he was witnessing this level of spatial talent in someone else.
Emperor Ling tried to use his top-level spatial talent to break free from the Pseudo-Mystic level spatial talent’s restraint, but being suppressed by a higher level spatial talent, he couldn’t break free.
His spatial talent was utterly useless!
Without his spatial talent, he was just an ordinary Emperor-level ferocious beast, and even the previously Saint-level Ming Illusion Beast could easily kill him without his spatial talent.
Now, how could he contend with Ye Tian?
“Please, don’t kill me, I’m willing to be your beast pet!”
Emperor Ling begged in extreme fear, even offering to become a beast pet.
If it were another human, perhaps they would be interested in having an Emperor-level beast pet with top-level spatial talent, but he had no such interest.
At first, he was willing to take powerful ferocious beasts as pets, but now he no longer had that desire.
Emperor-level ferocious beasts like Emperor Ling, with fully developed minds, could still potentially rebel even if taken as pets. Xiao Jin and Xiao Zi were subdued by him at their advanced ferocious beast levels, with limited intellect, so there were no issues after subduing them.
But he would never consider subduing an Emperor-level ferocious beast.
“No need, your talent is too poor. You’re not qualified to be my beast pet!”
Ye Tian deliberately said this.
Immediately after, a Soul Spear materialized in front of him, using Ming Kong’s soul attack talent.
The Soul Spear pierced Emperor Ling’s soul. It was only a high-level soul attack, and Ye Tian deliberately held back, not fully condensing the Soul Spear, hence not killing Emperor Ling in one strike.
Even so, Emperor Ling’s soul was severely injured, screaming in agony.
Ye Tian activated his hypnosis talent, instantly hypnotizing Emperor Ling.
He needed to extract some information from Emperor Ling, which was why he didn’t kill him immediately.
“Space Devouring Beast, tell me, why are there so many legends of dragons in the Ape-Dragon Beast Realm?”
