“Congratulations, Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu.”

As Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s laughs echoed through the entire starry sky, Ye Xuan’s voice sounded light.

“Who’s there?”

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu instantly stopped what he was doing

.

He then turned toward Ye Xuan.

The shock was plastered on his face.

He never expected someone to wait for him outside just as he completed his closed-door training.

“I’m Ye Xuan, the leader of the Great Xia Alliance.. I’m here especially to meet you.”

Ye Xuan spoke.

The Great Xia Alliance?

Ye Xuan?

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu knitted his brows.

He had neither heard of the Great Xia Alliance nor Ye Xuan.

Not to mention the earth-shattering birth of the Immortal Ancient Continent.

He knew nothing of the outside world because he was practicing in retreat.

He had combined his beast with his own Warrior Path while gathering a large amount of the Power of Flame, to support the upgrade of his Flame Divine Phoenix to Mythic level.

“You came to see me? May I ask why?”

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu looked at Ye Xuan from a distance away.

Detecting only an Immortal cultivation level from Ye Xuan which was far below himself, Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu lost interest immediately.

He had just achieved another milestone, so the first and only thing he wanted to do was to return to the Dingqiu Empire.

To announce his good news.

That way, leaders of the neighboring star zones would come bringing praises.

The star zones nearby were all relatively remote.

Except for Divine Sovereign Starbright at Tianyuan Star Zone, there were no other Divine Sovereign in other zones.

After he reached the half-mythic level, it would be as easy as pie to unite the neighboring star zones.

“Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu, I’m inviting you to join the Great Xia Alliance. In fact, I’m asking the entire Dingqiu Empire to join us as the alliance’s vassal force. What do you think?”

“Inviting me and the entire Dingqiu Empire into the Great Xia Alliance?”

Hearing that, Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu was stunned.

“Young one, do you realize my power? Is this some sort of mockery?!”

Rage started to surface in Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s eyes. At the same time, his Flame Divine Phoenix let out a cry and unleashed skyscraping flames.

It was as if the anger could burn the entire starry sky to ashes.

“That seems like a no.”

Ye Xuan shuddered at the sight of the scene. Then, he started shaking his head in defeat.

He thought after taking down Tianyuan Star Zone and Canglan Star Zone, his name would have traveled far already.

Who knew that Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu had no idea who he was.

Under that situation, it would be useless for him to say more.

“If that can’t be done, we will just have a fight then.”

Ye Xuan mumbled under his breath.

Although it was so soft, Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu heard everything.

Just as the words went into Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s ears, Ye Xuan made a move first. He integrated the Golden Dragon of Luck into his body and summoned the Level-Up Gate.

Rumble!

In an instant, Ye Xuan’s aura spiked.

His power exploded like the world’s fiercest volcano.

Though hundreds of miles away from Ye Xuan, Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu could feel the forceful momentum. His heart shuddered for a second.

Rumble!

In the next moment, Ye Xuan lifted his hand slightly. An unusual handprint emerged from the palm of his hand and charged toward Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu.

“This is… the aura of a Mythic level…”

Sensing the sudden surge of aura, Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s expression darkened.

Whoosh!

As his face reddened, he let out a low growl.

His body transformed into a phantom before it rushed into the Flame Divine Phoenix to become one.

As it flapped its wings, flames were ignited on the feathers. Then, Symbols of Flame surfaced to block the attack from Ye Xuan.

Rumble!

Alas, Ye Xuan’s one handprint was as heavy as ten thousand pounds. It was like being squashed with immense pressure under a golden mountain.

As it dropped on Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu, the flames he just cast were put out almost immediately.

Without hesitation, Ye Xuan continued with another handprint attack. With another roar, it struck the body of Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s Flame Divine Phoenix.

Immediately, the phoenix vomited blood.

The attack also forced it a few miles back.

Subsequently, Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s body was flung out of the Flame Divine Phoenix.

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s Warrior Path was strong as it had reached the level of Immortal (Peak)

The technique a while ago, where he merged together with his beast to enhance its power, was the result of his own practice.

Nonetheless, it was nothing against Ye Xuan.

He suffered a great injury and was defeated by Ye Xuan with only one move.

“You!”

After he managed to stand straight, Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu looked shockingly at Ye Xuan who had not moved an inch from where he was earlier.

He did not realize there was such a Mythic level character around the star zone nearby.

In an instant, his passion and pride for being able to advance into Immortal Level were crushed into pieces by Ye Xuan.

“Who are you, really?”

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth as he glared at Ye Xuan.

His Flame Divine Phoenix also fell and dropped to his side.

With a flash of its flame, the injuries from the previous fight recovered right away.

Ye Xuan did not answer the question. To him, the hit earlier was only a meetup gift for Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu.

Standing tall on the Tree of World, Ye Xuan gazed upon Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu. With a slight shift of his aura, he lifted his hand once again. This time, it was in the shape of a dragon claw. It was sent flying toward Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu and his Flame Divine Phoenix.

Rumble!

As a tunnel was formed in the void, all the Space Energy was suppressed and instantly painted with the golden color.

In the middle of the tunnel, it was Ye Xuan’s enormous hand.

Above Ye Xuan’s claw-like hand, floating symbols were shining.

Those were the symbols that came naturally with his Golden Dragon of Luck.

They had special effects of exorcism, extermination, suppression and so forth.

With a rumble, a bash that was comparable to the level of Immortal (Peak) landed on Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu and the Flame Divine Phoenix.

The attack was as quick as lightning.

It was as if Ye Xuan had managed to pause the rest of the space.

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu was about to duck from the incoming force, but all he could feel was the solidifying surroundings.

He knew he would not be able to make it.

Before he could react, Ye Xuan’s hand was already on him. Tightening his grip, the two were stuck.

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s face changed abruptly. He wanted to struggle free of the grip but to no avail.

On the contrary, he felt like Ye Xuan’s grip was as firm as handcuffs. He was literally locked in his big hand.

Whoosh!

Then, before Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu could say anything, a snowy white creature that resembled a dog appeared.

With a flicker, the beast traveled through the void and floated above his head. It lifted its claws, started to gather balls of dark light, turned it into an unusual-looking mark, and shot it into Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s Spirit Ocean.

“What are you doing?”

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu was frightened now. As the Seal Beast penetrated into his Spirit Ocean, he could feel the sense of terror rising within him. Unconsciously, he started to release a huge amount of soul power to block the Seal Beast’s invasion.

Crack!

Ye Xuan’s increased his power and looked down at Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu with the calmest face ever.

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu, on the other hand, was still trying to fight him off. The more he tried, the tighter the grip got.

“Yield, or die. The choice is in your hands.”

Ye Xuan spoke lightly.

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s face froze. After a few more seconds of pointless struggle, he gave up.

He let the Seal Beast’s Slave Seal penetrate into the core of his Spirit Ocean.

Just as that was about to happen, Ye Xuan released his hand. In the glimpse of an eye, he retreated his aura and transformed his appearance back to normal.

He was, again, a common-looking beast tamer of the Mythic Level.

“I want to know who you are.”

Noticing Ye Xuan’s change, Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu asked with a hoarse voice.

“I’ve already told you. I’m the leader of the Great Xia Alliance, Ye Xuan.”

Ye Xuan continued, “Tianyuan Star Zone and Canglan Star Zone have already submitted themselves to me and joined the Great Xia Alliance. Now it’s your turn and for the entire Dingqiu Empire to join my fleet!”

“Tianyuan Star Zone is already in the Great Xia Alliance? How can it be? I thought Divine Sovereign Starbright would be there to stop…”

Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu was surprised to hear that piece of news.

If Ye Xuan were to tell him that only the Canglan Star Zone was taken over, he would have believed him as Ye Xuan, indeed, had the capability.

But it was different from the Tianyuan Star Zone.

Divine Sovereign Starbright had been the leader and caretaker of the Tianyuan Star Zone for a long time.

He was never weaker than any of the Mythic level powerhouses.

Can Ye Xuan really be stronger than Divine Sovereign Starbright?

“It seems like you’ve been in seclusion for too long a time.”

Hearing Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu’s words, Ye Xuan shook his head. He finally understood why Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu did not know who he was.

Nevertheless, he had no time to explain everything.

Staring down at Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu, he said slowly, “You may now leave and return to the Dingqiu Empire. Ask them about what has happened in the past couple of days, then you’ll understand. Besides, don’t forget what I just told you.”

Ye Xuan had no intention of staying long.

Around Tianyuan Star Zone and Canglan Star Zone, there were a dozen of star zones in total.

He wanted to control all of the star zones in the shortest time possible.

No matter how fast he wanted it to be, the entire plan would take no less than 10 days.

It was because it would already cost him a few days to travel from one star zone to another.

After all, a star zone is normally comprised of 10 or more galaxies.

Therefore.

After settling things with Venerable Ancestor Dingqiu, Ye Xuan went after his next target.

Next target: Feihong Star Zone.

Target after the next: Mishen Star Zone.

After that…

…

In the Ancient Deer Star Zone, masters of the eight families were gathered on a gigantic ark that was heading toward the depths of the star zone.

These days, Ye Xuan had been persistent with his conquests. He had successfully taken over several star zones, especially the Tianyuan Star Zone and Canglan Star Zone.

In the short period of just 10 days, Ye Xuan already had a dozen star zones under his wing.

Now, Ancient Deer Star Zone was the last star zone standing.

Knowing that it would be an impossible task to go against Ye Xuan, the masters of Ancient Deer Star Zone, after a discussion, decided to migrate all the residents to safety.

As for Ancient Deer Star Zone, they had given up on it.

Based on what they had heard, leaders of the other star zones had all submitted themselves to Ye Xuan because of some tricks.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

All of a sudden, a figure appeared in front of their ark, blocking their way to freedom.

With a flash, the person was standing on a greenish oak tree.

“Ye Xuan!”

All the eight masters were dumbfounded when they saw Ye Xuan. Their expressions were very unwelcoming.

In Ancient Deer Star Zone, the eight masters were all Immortal Level Beast Tamers.

With their power combined, they were already among the strongest in the vicinity of the star zone.

However, Ye Xuan’s accomplishment in the past 10 days had proven him to be above anyone within the star zones.

“Ye Xuan, we’ve all decided to leave Ancient Deer Star Zone. The Great Xia Alliance can take the entire star zone. Please, just let us and the people go?”

The master of the strongest family among the eight, Lu Qingtian, spoke up as he peered at Ye Xuan from afar.

“Let you all go?”

Ye Xuan scanned the right and shook his head. “Ancient Deer Star Zone will never be the same without you all. So, please return to your star zone right away.”

“Besides, do you all think that I’m the only one harvesting all the star zones now?”

“You’re lucky that you’ve met me first. I’ll at least let you all live. If you were to leave Ancient Deer Star Zone and come across other people, I can’t guarantee that you all even have the chance to survive.”

“What do you mean”

Lu Qingtian’s face darkened.

This time, however, Ye Xuan did not bother to answer.

Sitting still on the Tree of World, he waved his hand in the air. The three Wan’s appeared in front of him.

At the same time, there were two Tidal Treasure Snails and the Seal Beast.

All the beasts that he just summoned were all of the Immortal (Peak) Level!

That was what Ye Xuan had achieved for the past 10 days.

There was one thing, though. Even after 10 days of harvesting a dozen of star zones, his Golden Dragon of Luck was still rather far from advancing into Mythic Level.

It was a huge gap between Immortal and Mythic Levels.

Alas, Ye Xuan could feel it coming already. Soon, the Golden Dragon of Luck would be able to upgrade itself.

Maybe it would only take one or two more days.

Perhaps, his dragon would be able to advance by the time Ancient Deer Star Zone surrendered to him.

“What I mean is, if you could get past these beasts, I will let you go on your merry way.”

Ye Xuan said calmly while looking into Lu Qingtian’s eyes.

“But bear in mind, during the battles, my beast could accidentally kill one or two of you even with me around. I can’t guarantee all of your safety then, so the decision is yours.”

Upon hearing that, Lu Qingtian and the others were stunned.

They were even more shocked when they saw Ye Xuan’s collection of beasts.

Immortal (Peak) Level!

They were all of the Immortal (Peak) Level!

Nonetheless, that was not the main point.

According to their investigation, Ye Xuan had one more beast that he could merge with.

That beast had already reached the Mythic level.

Not to mention that it was not the common type of Mythic level.

For a second, all eight masters of the Ancient Deer Star Zone said nothing after hearing Ye Xuan’s offer.

“Leader, we’re at your command!”

Minutes later, Lu Qingtian and the others finally came to a decision.

One after another, they bowed their heads down.

Rumble!

As soon as they did that, Ye Xuan could feel a shudder in the Golden Dragon of Luck’s Beast Lair.
