Chapter 497: The Domain Lords’ Dilemma
TL: Etude
In the Giant Serpent Domain, a small slug’s body began to expand continuously, growing larger and larger until it resembled a small mountain range.
The true form of the Slug Monster appeared.
At that moment, the body of the Slug Monster split open, and domain lords such as the Tyrannosaurus God, the Golden Eagle God, and the Giant Serpent God emerged one after another from its body.
In the distance, Ye Tian, who had just slain several dozen God-level ferocious beasts and was preparing to kill other God-level ferocious beasts, suddenly felt a strong malice and danger.
This malice was even far greater than the previous time when he was besieged by the Tyrannosaurus God.
“This is bad!”
Ye Tian instantly used the Spatial Divine Form Divine Ability and escaped into the depths of space, fleeing towards the distance.
Just as Ye Tian had escaped, those domain lords arrived.
“Chase him!”
The Golden Eagle God said to the other domain lords as he looked in the direction of Ye Tian’s escape.
Whoosh! The domain lords chased after him.
However, they quickly realized they had lost track of Ye Tian. They were all God-level ninth-tier ferocious beasts with a very large area covered by their divine consciousness, enough to envelop a whole territory.
Despite this, they still couldn’t find Ye Tian.
“What’s going on?”
The domain lords were very puzzled and confused.
Their plan was foolproof and should have captured Ye Tian, but why had he suddenly disappeared? In another territory not far away, deep underground, a pangolin was burrowing through the ground.
This pangolin was Ye Tian in disguise.
Feeling the danger and strong malice, Ye Tian immediately used the Spatial Divine Form Divine Ability to escape.
However, he was also very aware of how powerful the divine consciousness of those God-level ninth-tier ferocious beast domain lords was. With their diverse talents, it wouldn’t be difficult to penetrate the depths of space where he was hiding.
If he tried to use spatial divine abilities to escape in time, it would be easy to be interrupted and surrounded.
In that case, he would only be able to use his death substitution talent to escape.
However, the death substitution talent couldn’t be used continuously; it had a time limit. If the enemy knew he hadn’t died and thus searched for his true body, that would be dangerous.
The death substitution talent should be used only in the most critical moments.
Thus, he timely disguised himself as a pangolin and burrowed underground.
Just now, the divine consciousness of those domain lords had also probed underground, but they didn’t know that this pangolin was him.
Therefore, Ye Tian successfully avoided them.
At this moment, Ye Tian continued to burrow underground, quickly leaving the area.
Before long, he arrived in the Golden Eagle Domain.
In a certain territory of the Golden Eagle Domain, Ye Tian took action against the God-level ferocious beasts of a territory, but after slaying only a dozen God-level ferocious beasts, a strong malice and danger descended upon him again.
With no other choice, Ye Tian had to resort to the same trick and disguised himself as a burrowing beast, tunneling through the ground.
Nearly being surrounded twice in a row, and in two different ferocious beast domains, was too much to be a coincidence.
“Those ferocious beast domain lords must have a way to arrive at any territory instantly. Once I take action in a certain territory, these ferocious beast domain lords can arrive in time.
This indicates that there is a kind of ferocious beast that timely informs these domain lords.”
Ye Tian deduced.
This time, he didn’t plan to attack God-level ferocious beasts but instead wanted to investigate the situation.
Thus, Ye Tian randomly entered a territory.
He disguised himself as an ordinary giant wolf ferocious beast, wandering around the territory, continuously activating his talent for copying to observe the surroundings.
At this moment, the Slug Monster’s aura was very weak. It had lost too many split bodies, and its soul was injured.
If this continued, it would eventually fall.
“Fellows, I’ll return the benefits you promised me. I’m withdrawing from this plan. I’m of no use to you now. If this continues and all my split bodies die, my original body won’t survive either!”
The Slug Monster said helplessly.
The Golden Eagle God also knew that the Slug Monster was being targeted and wasn’t of much use anymore, so it agreed to the Slug Monster’s withdrawal.
Then, the Slug Monster deactivated its splitting talent, and all the split bodies returned to the original body one by one.
After that, the Slug Monster left the Golden Eagle Cliff.
“Golden Eagle God, I’m leaving too!”
The Giant Serpent God also took his leave.
The Tyrannosaurus God and the other domain lords left one after another. With the plan failing, there was no point in gathering here.
After all the domain lords had left, the Golden Eagle God issued an order.
It sent out a message that if any God-level ferocious beasts were willing to leave their territories, they could come to this area for protection.
This was the only solution the Golden Eagle God had! After the Tyrannosaurus God and other domain lords returned, they also chose the same method, allowing God-level ferocious beasts to seek protection in the center of their domains if they wished.
But as a result, those territories could only be managed by emperor-level ferocious beasts.
In the following days, Ye Tian rarely found God-level ferocious beasts in the territories. After interrogating some emperor-level ferocious beasts, he learned that most of the God-level ferocious beasts had sought protection with their domain lords.
That meant, if Ye Tian wanted to slaughter a large number of God-level ferocious beasts, he would have to directly confront a domain lord.
One day, Ye Tian arrived near Tyrannosaurus Mountain.
At that time, the area around Tyrannosaurus Mountain was filled with a large number of God-level ferocious beasts, which were scattered all around, establishing their nests.
At first glance, this place seemed to have become a kingdom of ferocious beasts.
Boom!!! Ye Tian attacked a nest of God-level ferocious beasts, turning all the God-level ferocious beasts and the nest inside into countless fragments.
Then, Ye Tian stepped towards Tyrannosaurus Mountain, blasting away the God-level ferocious beasts along the way.
“The emperor-level ferocious beast has appeared!”
The God-level ferocious beasts started to panic.
Suddenly, three God-level ninth-tier ferocious beasts blocked Ye Tian’s path. Their strength was not inferior to Ye Tian’s, but they were no match for him; however, stopping Ye Tian was not a problem.
Thunderous clashes!!! A fierce battle ensued! Atop Tyrannosaurus Mountain, the Tyrannosaurus God, upon learning of Ye Tian’s arrival, immediately flew over.
“It’s really you! you actually didn’t die!” The Tyrannosaurus God was furious.
“Of course, I didn’t die. Someone of your caliber can’t kill me!” Ye Tian confidently declared.
“Then I’ll kill you once more!”
The Tyrannosaurus God angrily made a move, unleashing its supreme claw technique. The terrifying power made the other God-level ferocious beasts retreat, not daring to participate in such a grand battle.
“To the death!”
Ye Tian fought with all his might against the Tyrannosaurus God, disregarding his injuries, seeking only an ultimate battle.
Boom, boom, boom!!! After fighting for a while, Ye Tian, severely injured, finally couldn’t withstand it any longer.
“Death substitution talent!”
Ye Tian’s true body swapped places with a substitute, instantly leaving the scene.
When the Tyrannosaurus God easily turned Ye Tian’s substitute into a mist of blood with one swipe, it immediately knew Ye Tian had escaped again.
“Damn it!!!” The Tyrannosaurus God roared in anger.
But it couldn’t find Ye Tian and could only roar a few times in this place.
