Chapter 376: Ten-Star Defense Secret Technique, Leaving the Ancient God Ruins |
TL: Etude
Among the many types of secret cultivation techniques, there were several that were exceedingly malevolent, which Ye Tian had no interest in whatsoever.
After a long search, Ye Tian finally found a yuan force defense secret technique that he was thoroughly satisfied with.
“Dark Qilin Demon Body Technique”
This Dark Qilin Demon Body Technique was a dark attribute yuan force defense secret technique, which only martial warriors with dark talents could cultivate. Once mastered, it allowed the practitioner to condense dark qilin scales on their body surface, significantly enhancing their defense.
Moreover, this Dark Qilin Demon Body Technique was of a very high tier, surpassing all other yuan force defense secret techniques Ye Tian had acquired before.
It was a ten-star yuan force defense secret technique.
To put things into perspective, the best yuan force defense secret technique that Ye Tian could purchase at the Heavenly Pride Pavilion on Silver Universe Star was only nine-star level.
One could imagine how valuable the Dark Qilin Demon Body Technique was.
In fact, there were even more valuable secret techniques among the possible rewards, but Ye Tian did not choose those because they were of little use to him.
The most useful and acceptable secret technique for him was the Dark Qilin Demon Body Technique.
After selecting the Dark Qilin Demon Body Technique, a secret manual appeared before Ye Tian.
Ye Tian grabbed the manual and stored it away.
At this moment, the spirit spoke again: “Examiner, every Heavenly Pride who manages to come here is entitled to a token!”
With that, the spirit produced a jade pendant and handed it to Ye Tian.
“This is the token. In the future, if you encounter relics of the master, this token can grant you direct access into the relics. However, I do not recommend doing so, as the real benefits within some relics lie elsewhere, not within the temple ruins,” the spirit explained.
Ye Tian nodded in agreement with the spirit’s words.
For instance, in this relic, although the rewards within the Dark Star Demon Temple were considerable, the opportunities in those dimensional spaces were not much lesser.
If he had directly forsaken the gains from those distinct spaces and come straight to this Dark Star Demon Temple, he would not have been able to obtain those rewards.
Thus, danger and opportunity coexist, and it depends on one’s pursuit.
Nonetheless, this token is also quite remarkable. Should he truly encounter an extremely dangerous relic, where entry almost guarantees death, using the token to directly enter could be a viable option.
After Ye Tian took the token and stored it away, the spirit teleported him out.
In the next moment, Ye Tian found himself outside the Ancient God Ruins, standing before the relic’s light barrier.
He tried to re-enter the relic but found that he was no longer able to do so.
“My gains are already plentiful; it’s time to leave!”
Ye Tian flew out of the relic and arrived in the starry sky of the Tun Jiang planetary system.
At that moment, several Heavenly Prides intercepted Ye Tian.
Ye Tian looked over and recognized one of the Heavenly Prides — Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride! Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride was one of the six-star peerless Heavenly Prides. Besides him, there were three other Heavenly Prides.
These three Heavenly Prides, standing alongside Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride, seemed to hold similar statuses and were likely also peerless Heavenly Prides.
“Could they be the three Heavenly Prides who were previously chasing after the Scorpio Heavenly Pride?”
Ye Tian speculated.
Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride’s gaze was firmly fixed on Ye Tian as he threatened, “Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws, you’ve been inside the Ancient God Ruins for several months. Being able to stay for so long, you must have obtained quite a bit. According to reports, some Heavenly Prides have obtained secret techniques of physical body cultivation within the Ancient God Ruins, and not just one but several. You must have obtained some secret techniques of physical body cultivation too, right? As long as you share those secret techniques of physical body cultivation with us, we won’t make things difficult for you. Otherwise, imagine the scene of being besieged by four peerless Heavenly Prides at the same time.”
“Are you threatening me?” Ye Tian responded coldly.
“You can think of it that way!” Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride nodded.
Just then,
Boom, boom, boom!
Three presences appeared, unmistakably Scorpio, Hong Yang, and Lie Jun Heavenly Prides.
Upon seeing these three, Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride and his companions changed their expressions.
They warily watched Hong Yang Heavenly Pride and Lie Jun Heavenly Pride. These two were among the top-tier of the six-star peerless Heavenly Prides, and the four of them combined were probably no match for the two.
“Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws, how about we three take action and teach them a lesson?” Lie Jun Heavenly Pride inquired, bowing.
This scene shocked Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride and his companions immensely.
What stature did Lie Jun Heavenly Pride hold? As one of the top existences among the six-star peerless Heavenly Prides and a disciple from a vast power within the Andromeda Galaxy, his strength and status far exceeded theirs! Yet, such a peerless Heavenly Pride was showing such respect to Ye Tian, almost like a subordinate! This had to be a joke.
“No need, they’re just a bunch of nobodies!” Ye Tian waved his hand, seemingly not taking Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride seriously at all.
“You’re calling us nobodies?” Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride and the others were enraged.
As peerless Heavenly Prides, they were extremely proud. Typically, other Heavenly Prides would approach them with utmost respect.
From their birth until now, anyone who disrespected them had died.
And Ye Tian, even as a peerless Heavenly Pride, was no different in their eyes without a powerful background.
“Seeking death!” Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride was the first to launch an attack on Ye Tian.
At that moment, with a light flick of his finger, Ye Tian sent out a golden thread.
With a swish, the golden thread sliced through Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride’s body, cutting him in half instantly.
“Master, save me!” Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride cried out in horror.
His body being cut in half was a minor issue, but the power of the golden divine ability was infiltrating his entire body, rapidly draining his life force.
If this continued even for a moment longer, he would undoubtedly die!
Boom!
A terrifying presence appeared, and a fearsome figure emerged from the void… With a wave of his hand, the nearly dead Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride was quickly restored to life, narrowly escaping death.
However, Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride’s injuries were not so easily healed and would likely take a considerable amount of time to recover.
“A Great God level powerhouse!” Ye Tian frowned slightly, looking at an elder in the distance.
With a sweep of his Copying Talent, he quickly assessed the elder’s talents.
Human: Chang Dongshun
Cultivation Talent: Desolate level
Strength Talent: Mystic
Speed Talent: Mystic
Defense Talent: Mystic
Wood God Talent: God level
Swordsmanship Talent: Moonlight
“Chang Dongshun! It’s that Great God Dongshun!” Ye Tian recalled the background of this Great God in his mind.
Great God Dongshun was a Great God from one of the nine major planets, the Silver Emperor Star.
Ye Tian had crammed a lot of knowledge, learning about many True Gods and above powerhouses, which is why he could recognize Great God Dongshun immediately.
“Golden divine ability, quite impressive. It seems you obtained this divine ability in the Ancient God Ruins, along with the materials required for the golden divine ability. Otherwise, with your background, it would be difficult to gather the materials needed for a divine ability! Your strength has stepped into the seven-star Emperor tier. In the current younger generation of the Milky Way, you should be considered the third seven-star Heavenly Pride.”
Great God Dongshun looked at Ye Tian and spoke.
“The third seven-star Heavenly Pride!” Ye Tian thought to himself, indicating there were two other seven-star Heavenly Prides in the Milky Way.
However, those two seven-star peerless Heavenly Prides must have left the Milky Way for other galaxies.
“Master, I’ve disgraced you!” Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride’s face fell, and he bowed his head.
“Qing Zhan, he’s a seven-star Heavenly Pride, and it’s normal for you not to be his match. Go back!” Great God Dongshun said.
“Yes!” Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride responded.
Ye Tian did not pursue Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride any further. With a Great God present, it was impossible to kill a Heavenly Pride.
While powerhouses above the God level are not allowed to attack Heavenly Prides directly, it doesn’t mean they can’t protect other Heavenly Prides.
Great God Dongshun could easily block Ye Tian’s attack and then take Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride away.
After Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride left, the other three peerless Heavenly Prides also hurriedly fled, not daring to block the path of a seven-star peerless Heavenly Pride. Lie Jun Heavenly Pride came over, laughing and congratulating,
“Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws, that golden divine ability you used just now was incredible. If it weren’t for that Great God level powerhouse appearing, you would have killed Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride in one move!”
“It was just that Qing Zhan Heavenly Pride was too weak!” Ye Tian modestly said.
In reality, he had held back, only unleashing the strength of a seven-star Heavenly Pride. If he had gone all out, even Great God Dongshun wouldn’t have been able to intervene in time.
