Chapter 181: Treasure in Hand, the Rage of the Golden-Winged Peng! [Seventh update, please subscribe]

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Feng Lu Xue had basically finished scouting the remaining areas of Sector 13 and reported the situation to the base before returning there himself.

Ye Tian remained behind to continue monitoring the situation; the base permitted him to stay as long as he provided a daily report.

Another three days passed.

The cooldown for Ye Tian's Copy Talent had ended.

He could copy once again.

However, before taking action, he sent a message to the base.

The message was primarily a lie, stating that he had noticed unusual activity in the beast nest and requested that the base send one of the Thirty-Six Emperors as reinforcements at any time, preferably one ranked near the top.

Because once he snatched the void flower, that Emperor-level Ferocious Beast, the Golden-Winged Peng, would surely be enraged.

At that time, this entire region would inevitably be submerged in the Golden-Winged Peng's fury.

If the base didn't take precautions, it could easily suffer losses.

After sending the message, Ye Tian "610" entered the cave.

In a short while, he approached the Golden-Winged Peng's side.

"Profound Truth-Level Flight Talent, copy!"

"Top-Tier Slashing Talent, copy!"

Having copied two talents in succession, Ye Tian finally turned his gaze toward that void flower.

Closer!

Even closer!

Soon, Ye Tian was only a hand's reach away from the void flower.

Whoosh!

Ye Tian's speed reached its limit as he grabbed the void flower and stored it into his Personal Storage Space.

Then, he immediately activated Teleportation, moving into the tunnel.

The reason he didn't use Stealth Talent to retreat slowly was that it was too slow; once the Golden-Winged Peng began attacking frantically, he would be hit if he was too close. The Golden-Winged Peng's attacks were so powerful that even a graze would result in heavy injuries.

"Wuuuuu~~~"

The cry of the Golden-Winged Peng rang out.

It opened its eyes and saw that its void flower was gone—the treasure it had been guarding was missing.

In the next instant, it sensed Ye Tian's aura. Without a word, it spread its pair of golden wings and slashed through the void.

Boom!!!!!

Golden light seemed to tear through the void, and the entire underground space was shrouded in golden rays. That was the light left behind by the Golden-Winged Peng's countless wing-slashes in an instant.

Countless Vicious Beasts died within the golden light, and even some Saint-Grade Vicious Beasts were caught in the crossfire.

The Golden-Winged Peng didn't care at all about the deaths of its subordinates; it wanted to kill the enemy.

Boom boom boom!!!!

The sturdy underground stone walls were also struck by the golden light, turning into countless specks of dust.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian teleported rapidly to dodge these attacks.

In a flash, Ye Tian teleported to the outside and continued teleporting.

After several teleports, he quickly activated his Stealth Talent and entered a River.

This was one of the escape routes he had planned beforehand.

Almost the instant Ye Tian entered the River under stealth, a massive Golden-Winged Peng appeared in the sky, its Divine Sense covering a radius of ten thousand miles, scanning every inch of the land, Rivers, Vicious Beasts, and other weak creatures.

In an instant.

The Golden-Winged Peng checked a radius of a hundred thousand miles, but it found no trace of Ye Tian.

At the River Bottom.

Ye Tian hid within the silt, his Top-Tier Stealth Talent constantly active. He was scanned several times by the Golden-Winged Peng's powerful Divine Sense, but it didn't trigger even a slight ripple.

Fortunately, the Top-Tier Stealth Talent was effective enough, and the Golden-Winged Peng lacked a specialized talent to counter stealth, so it failed to discover Ye Tian.

But Ye Tian had been taking a huge risk just now; if he had been a step slower, he would have been found.

Within a radius of a hundred thousand miles.

Unable to find Ye Tian, the Golden-Winged Peng began to attack frantically.

Stretch after stretch of land was shattered by the Golden-Winged Peng, and countless Vicious Beasts were slaughtered by it.

Stretch after stretch of land was shattered by the Golden-Winged Peng, and countless Vicious Beasts were slaughtered by it.

It had gone completely insane!

By this time, the base had already received the news.

One of the Thirty-Six Emperors took action!

Ye Tian didn't know what was happening outside. He didn't dare show his face at all, and he didn't even dare to use his Disguise Talent. Even if he disguised himself as a Vicious Beast, so what? That Golden-Winged Peng was even killing its own Saint-Grade Vicious Beast subordinates.

Half a day later, the sounds of battle outside ceased.

Only then did Ye Tian breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I went with this plan. If I had chosen the disguise route, I might have been killed by its wings in the first instant."

Ye Tian thought to himself, feeling lucky.

At the same time, he also realized he had overestimated the Stealth Talent.

When facing a truly terrifying enemy, Stealth Talent is useless. The opponent's attacks can cover a radius of several thousand or even ten thousand miles, indiscriminately attacking every living thing within that range.

Stealth isn't the same as vanishing; if you're actually hit by an attack, you'll still die.

After waiting another half day, Ye Tian used the cover of night to enter a Shadow State and leave the River. Then, after several teleports, he finally approached the base.

It wasn't until he entered the base that a heavy weight was lifted from his heart.

Just ten minutes after his return, a Great Emperor summoned him for a discussion.

This Great Emperor was none other than the Kurong Great Emperor!

Inside the Kurong Great Emperor's fortress, Ye Tian met with him.

"Kurong Great Emperor, why did you seek me out?"

Ye Tian asked.

"We thought you had perished; I didn't expect you to actually return alive!"

The Kurong Great Emperor said with considerable surprise upon seeing Ye Tian…

"Just luck!"

Ye Tian said calmly.

"What happened earlier? Why was that Emperor-level Ferocious Beast so violent?" the Kurong Great Emperor asked.

Ye Tian was the only human present, so he was the only one who could be asked about the situation.

Ye Tian quickly replied, "A Vicious Beast killed several Saint-Grade Vicious Beasts and broke into the beast nest. I don't know what it did, but that big bird rushed out and started furiously killing everything in sight. I was in a stealth state and hid myself, so I was lucky not to be caught in its attacks. Later, I heard the sounds of battle, so I stayed hidden and didn't dare come out until the fighting ended."

"So that's how it was!"

The Kurong Great Emperor believed Ye Tian's explanation. He knew well how terrifying that Golden-Winged Peng was; even if Ye Tian had a Stealth Talent, he wouldn't have been able to escape if he were truly discovered.

Therefore, he didn't think it was Ye Tian who had provoked the Golden-Winged Peng.

However, he had guessed wrong.

This matter was indeed caused by the Golden-Winged Peng!

"Kurong Great Emperor, what was the outcome of the battle?"

Ye Tian asked curiously.

"One of the Thirty-Six Emperors was heavily injured. In the end, the War Axe Great Emperor personally took action and severely wounded the opponent with one strike, but the opponent's speed was too fast, and it quickly vanished without a trace!"

The Kurong Great Emperor said.

"Even the War Axe Great Emperor couldn't keep it there?"

Ye Tian was somewhat surprised.

"Yes!" The Kurong Great Emperor nodded. "That big bird likely has a Profound Truth-Level Speed Talent, and its cultivation is not weak. Its speed is a bit faster than the War Axe Great Emperor's. Moreover, after being heavily injured, it activated its Bloodline Power, which greatly increased its speed. Naturally, the War Axe Great Emperor couldn't catch up and gave up the pursuit. By my estimation, that big bird's strength is at least comparable to the top five on the Emperor Ranking!"

"That powerful!"

Ye Tian was shocked.

But there was one thing the Kurong Great Emperor got wrong: the opponent possessed a Profound Truth-Level Flight Talent, not a Profound Truth-Level Speed Talent.

"You should head back for now. You did well in this matter. If not for your early warning, we might have only dispatched a few ordinary Great Emperors to deal with it, and the losses would have been disastrous!" the Kurong Great Emperor commended.

"It's nothing, just a small matter!"

Ye Tian felt a bit embarrassed.

He was the one who caused this whole mess. If the Kurong Great Emperor or that injured member of the Thirty-Six Emperors found out, they would likely want to hack him to death.

After taking his leave, Ye Tian returned to his castle to rest for a while before preparing to fuse the two talents he had copied.
