Chapter 495: Palm Off The Myth
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Ancient Wood Star!”
Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru stood side by side above the Tree of World, gazing downward at the Ancient Wood Star from afar.
Due to the Tree of World, he had a certain liking for Ancient Wood-type beasts.
Aside from that, in the World of Nothingness of the Tidal Treasure Snail, its body quivered.
It appeared as though it could sense something.
However, following that, it moved its body in bewilderment.
It felt as though there was some sort of an extremely powerful treasure just around the corner, but it seemed to be concealed by something.
“Treasure?”
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow upon sensing the message transmitted by Tidal Treasure Snail..
As he traveled beyond the Milky Star Way, Tidal Treasure Snail would transmit messages regarding all sorts of treasures to him almost every day.
However, this was the first time it had ever sent him a message, highlighting the possibility of an extremely powerful treasure nearby.
“A treasure being concealed of its aura? Who is able to conceal Tidal Treasure Snail’s sensing at Ancient Wood Star?”
Ye Xuan’s eyes sparkled.
He intended to check it out once he had arrived at Ancient Wood Star.
If there was really a decent treasure above the Ancient Wood Star, he would not let it go.
The Heavenly Universe at the moment was in a state of chaos.
If he did not become stronger soon, he would eventually become a vassal of others where life and death would not be in his own hands.
Thus, he did not mind looting.
Swish!
Surrounded by nine colors with the penetration of the Force of the World, Ye Xuan brought along Lin Shiru to the Ancient Wood Star.
Ancient Wood Star was the territory under the control of the Ancient Wood Ancestor.
However, aside from him, there were three Immortal-level beast tamers at Ancient Wood Star.
This star was far more powerful than any of the stars Ye Xuan had ever come across.
On the Ancient Wood Star, there was this one tree that was slightly smaller than the Ancient Wood Tree. It was enlarged in a fully developed manner in the air, forming a square and appearing to be welcoming guests from the starry sky.
Ye Xuan put away the Tree of World in a flash, and he took along Lin Shiru to land on the square.
At this juncture, on this square, the local attendants who were responsible for hosting guests from different stars or star zones could be seen.
However, there were also others who were like Ye Xuan, coming from another zone.
Lin Shiru tagged along with Ye Xuan, revealing her curiosity as she watched on.
Ye Xuan also observed with great interest.
Then, both of them walked down in the direction of the ancient tree after they finished registering themselves under the guidance of an attendant. They intended to explore Ancient Wood Star before heading to Wanyu Star Zone.
Others had to wait for enough people to gather funds for the transmission, but Ye Xuan did not have to do the same.
He managed to conquer more than 10 star zones, and he had a great amount of Starry Sky Spiritual Stone; hence he could undergo transmission whenever he wanted.
“It’s merely Immortal level for real!”
However, just as Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru were exploring the Ancient Wood Star, the Ancient Wood Ancestor who was holding a green crystal ball in hand displayed the image of Ye Xuan on it. Upon close scrutiny, he revealed a ferocious look on his face.
After giving it some thought, he summoned an Immortal-level beast tamer to deal with Ye Xuan via the soul sound transmission.
Capture Ye Xuan in the sense of a wanted figure of the Ancient Wood Star!
“Don’t freak out later,” Ye Xuan blurted out while he was having a good time with Lin Shiru at a street in Ancient Wood Star.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Shiru questioned out of curiosity.
“I’m uncertain of the situation. I only know that someone is trying to target me. However, rest assured, it’s just a minor character.”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
He himself was in doubt.
He was not sure when he had turned into a troublemaker.
Someone targeted him just as he landed at the Ancient Wood Star.
The Golden Dragon of Luck could drive out evil spirits and suppress certain attributes.
Just as someone wanted to go against Ye Xuan, these attributes triggered his sensing ability.
However, based on sensing of the Tidal Treasure Snail, it turned out that the most powerful beast tamer was merely the Ancient Wood Ancestor.
Even if the Ancient Wood Ancestor were to contend with Ye Xuan in person, it would not create a huge impact on Ye Xuan.
“Ye Xuan, how dare you return to Ancient Wood Star after stealing our relic!”
All of a sudden, just as Ye Xuan was lost in thought, a loud shriek emitted from his front.
Then, three figures clad in green armors with an intention to destroy him appeared in an oppressive manner.
These three figures emanated the aura of the Immortal level.
They were the three Immortal-level conquerors of the Ancient Wood Star.
“What? I’ve stolen the relic of the Ancient Wood Star?”
Ye Xuan was perplexed for a second, and then he revealed a faint smile on his face.
Both he and Lin Shiru had written their names when they registered themselves earlier.
Hence, he was not surprised to find out that the locals would know his name.
He was just surprised by the excuse made by these people.
Meanwhile, he was also curious to know which of his treasures these people were aiming for.
“What happened?”
“This person has stolen the relic of the Ancient Wood Star but still has the nerve to return to Ancient Wood Star? How dare he?”
Upon witnessing the scene, there was a commotion from the assembled crowd.
They all gawked at Ye Xuan unbelievably and retracted at lightning speed.
This time the three Immortal-level conquerors would take on Ye Xuan.
An Immortal-level conqueror was considered a strong challenger in the universe of stars.
With three Immortal-level conquerors joining forces to compete, the aftermath of the battle could possibly turn the crowd into dust if anything went wrong.
“Ye Xuan, are you still trying to deny the fact? Come with us to meet the Ancestor! Perhaps you might have a chance to live!”
Seeing the smirk on Ye Xuan’s face, one of the Immortal-level beast tamers wrinkled his eyebrows and bellowed out his remarks.
As he was speaking, he lifted his hand gently, and just then a cyan snake slithered across his arm. It stuck out its tongue and targeted Ye Xuan from afar.
At that moment, the two other Immortal-level beast tamers lifted their hands as well.
Their arms were also wrapped with an identical cyan snake each.
[Ancient Cyan Scale Snake: One star
Level: Intermediate Immortal-level
Ability: Snake Floating in the Void, Cyan Soul Poisoning, Cyan Verdant Light…]
Ye Xuan briefly scanned through these three snakes’ attributes without much attention.
These three snakes had reached the peak of their potential.
Their strength was pretty average.
Even though three of them were Immortal-level warriors, it was not much for Ye Xuan.
If he made a move, he could easily take down three of them instantly.
“Spell it out! Tell me your main intention of competing against me or perhaps you all are aiming at any of my treasures? Or you all are merely pushovers. If so, please call upon your master,” Ye Xuan uttered calmly as he grabbed hold of Lin Shiru’s hand while standing on the street.
“A bunch of fellows oblivious of death!”
Upon listening to that, one of the three Immortal-level beast tamer’s faces was filled with rage. The next moment, the snake suddenly disappeared from his arm.
Just then, spatial fluctuation emerged before Ye Xuan.
This spatial fluctuation appeared rapidly out of the blue.
The moment the space fluctuation emerged, a cyan snake flew out from it, staring at Ye Xuan with its amber scarlet pupils. With its mouth open, it abruptly spat out black poisonous lines.
Hiss!
With the presence of the poisonous lines, the entire void seemed to be corroded, aiming straight at Ye Xuan.
Whoosh!
However, just as the poisonous lines surfaced and headed straight for Ye Xuan, a palm-sized elf with a crown on its head and a scepter in its hand came into sight above his head.
Wielding the scepter in its hand with the green light appeared at a glance, Ye Xuan instantly wiped out the black poisonous lines. All of them vanished into nothingness.
“Immortal (Peak)!”
With that blow, the three Immortal-level beast tamers were stunned.
All three of their strengths were only Intermediate Immortal-level.
It would be almost impossible for Intermediate Immortal-level to compete against Immortal (Peak); thus, even if three of them joined forces, they would be no match for Ye Xuan.
“Junior, you stole the relic of Ancient Wood Star, and how dare you revolt against us upon returning!”
At this time, the Ancient Wood Star reverberated with the sound of an aging voice.
The sound vibrations set the entire Ancient Wood Star quaking.
Obviously, the Ancient Wood Tree was aware of the situation here.
Boom!
With that, an aged yet huge hand, looking like deadwood, appeared from nothingness, rushing toward the street. It was then captured by the person that the three Immortal-level beast tamer was dreadful of, none other than Ye Xuan.
“Ancient Wood Ancestor?”
Seeing this huge hand, Ye Xuan came to realize who his real opponent was.
At first, he was thinking of exploring Ancient Wood Star with Lin Shiru to search for the location of the treasure mentioned by Tidal Treasure Snail earlier.
Never had he thought that the Ancient Wood Ancestor would initiate a fight before he made a move!
Ye Xuan showed a hint of amusement on his face, finding this situation rather interesting.
“This is the first time anyone has ever claimed that I have stolen a treasure since I have started my cultivation. I normally get hold of the treasures I desire without tricks.”
Looking at the huge hand of the Ancient Wood Ancestor seized from the void, Ye Xuan let out a chuckle.
Following that, he summoned the Golden Dragon of Luck and integrated it into his body.
Rumble!
In an instant, Ye Xuan’s cultivation reached the Mythic level.
Golden Dragon of Luck of five-star Mythic-level was not good at battling.
However, its five-star grade was good enough.
To rely on its grade was enough to overcome countless beasts of the same level.
Besides, with God’s aid of Ye Xuan, its attribute increased by five times; hence, it was able to destroy the lives of the usual early Mythic level, Intermediate level, or even the Advanced level.
And not to mention that Ancient Wood Ancestor was only early Mythic level!
Boom!
Ye Xuan raised his big hand that was like a pillar of heaven and instantaneously, he lifted it to face the Ancient Wood Ancestor’s hand directly.
A loud noise spread across the void.
However, apart from that, there was no aftershock.
A series of aftershocks was subdued by the strength of the Golden Dragon of Luck.
“Myth…Mythic Level…”
Witnessing Ye Xuan showcasing his ability, the Ancient Wood Ancestor’s subordinates were dumbfounded.
They were shocked to the core.
It had never crossed their minds that Ye Xuan was not an Immortal-level beast tamer like them.
In fact, he was a Mythic-level beast tamer.
Besides, his strength seemed to be greater than the Ancient Wood Ancestor.
“You!”
In the meantime, the Ancient Wood Ancestor who struck a hard blow against Ye Xuan retreated into the void.
With a puff sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was badly injured by merely a single blow!
Swoosh!
At this point, after the first blow between Ye Xuan and Ancient Wood Ancestor, with a flip of the hand, Ye Xuan intended to proceed further.
“Stop! Please stop, sir!”
Seeing that Ye Xuan was planning to carry on, the Ancient Wood Ancestor became nervous and hastily said, “All this must be a misunderstanding! Sir, you’re far too powerful to be the thief who has stolen the relic of the Ancient Wood Star.”
“My subordinates must have misunderstood the situation. Please calm down, sir! I promise to make things clear!”
“Misunderstood the situation? Make things clear?”
Ye Xuan sneered upon hearing that. “I only believe in what I entrusted myself to do!”
Upon saying that, he no longer held on. With a flip of his hand, he rapidly grabbed hold of the Ancient Wood Ancestor.
Rumble!
Seeing that Ye Xuan was determined to be done with him, the Ancient Wood Ancestor panicked. Even the Ancient Wood Tree rooted on the Ancient Wood Star was swinging violently.
Just as it was shaking, its branches swayed and formed a circle of turquoise light shield, enveloping the body of the Ancient Wood Ancestor, which was used to assist him in defending Ye Xuan’s attack.
“Mark of Gods!”
Seeing the Ancient Wood Tree being summoned and the turquoise light shield surrounding the Ancient Wood Ancestor, Ye Xuan decided to summon the Mark of Gods to support him.
In an instant, he knocked off his opponent.
The Mark of Gods added to his body directly canceled out with the turquoise light shield summoned by the Ancient Wood Ancestor.
Ye Xuan did not hold back at all with this blow. It landed entirely on the body of the Ancient Wood Ancestor.
“You!”
Witnessing this scene, Ancient Wood Ancestor was filled with trepidation as he revealed a stunned look on his face.
Before he could even react, Ye Xuan’s sharp blow had landed on his chest with a loud bang.
In an instant, Ancient Wood Ancestor was stunned, his body trembling. The injuries inside and outside of his body were innumerable.
Not to mention his soul that was almost being shaken out of his body due to that blow, close to resulting in him being murdered on the spot.
Ye Xuan came to a halt after the blow.
Seeing that Ye Xuan retracted, the Ancient Wood Ancestor who was like a spent force eventually let out a facial expression that indicated the hope of survival.
However, just as he revealed this expression on his face, Ye Xuan flicked his hand to release a force blast that was seemingly able to wipe out a star. With a puff sound, it broke through the void and ended up in front of Ancestor of Ten Thousand Wood and penetrated through his forehead.
With that, the Ancient Wood Ancestor was killed on the spot by Ye Xuan.
From a distance, with the passing of the Ancient Wood Ancestor, the body of his beast, Ancient Wood Tree, quivered, and almost immediately it became motionless.
It was still alive.
But only the body was still alive.
Its soul had already been destroyed.
The current condition was the same as the time before the awakening of its spiritual intellect.
“Is the treasure in the body of the Ancient Wood Tree?”
Meanwhile, following the death of the Ancient Wood Ancestor, the body of the Tidal Treasure Snail in the World of Nothingness of the Tidal Treasure Snail immediately shivered.
Finally, the location of the hidden treasure was tracked down.
Following that, it informed Ye Xuan of the treasure’s location.
“Wonder what kind of treasure we will be getting this time around.”
Ye Xuan revealed a hint of excitement.
He had never ever seen Tidal Treasure Snail being this thrilled.
