Chapter 166: The Top-tier Spatial Talent – The Space Devouring Beast Emperor Ling!

TL: Etude

"Lord Ye Tian, you just dodged an Emperor-level beast's strike. Was that the legendary space talent?" Blood King asked curiously.

There were a few warriors with spatial talents in the three major bases, but most possessed only inferior or low-level spatial talents, which weren't very effective. To use teleportation, a spatial talent of at least a medium level was required. It was one of the transcendent abilities that defied time and speed.

"Yes!"

Ye Tian did not deny it, having just used teleportation. Anyone with sense would recognize it as such.

"Lord Ye Tian, with your teleportation, even an Emperor-level strike can't kill you. The top-tier array suppressing the space rift has shattered, and King beasts can come through again. We are preparing to rebuild it. Even if the Emperor-level beast doesn't appear again, the increased number of King beasts will put us under great pressure. Please, Lord Ye Tian, stay here and help us. If any powerful King beasts come through, we request you to kill them!" Yun Mengli requested.

He was truly frightened!

He feared that if Ye Tian left, and an Emperor-level beast's strike came again while they were dealing with King beasts, they wouldn't be able to escape. They did not have Ye Tian's teleportation ability.

They relied on Ye Tian in this situation.

Of course.

They also speculated that the Emperor-level beast's attack was related to the beast capable of invisibility and disguise that Ye Tian had killed, but they naturally didn't blame Ye Tian. If Ye Tian hadn't found that beast, they would have been doomed eventually.

Ye Tian's killing of that beast had saved them and the three major bases. Although it attracted an Emperor-level beast's strike from across realms, the Emperor-level beast couldn't come through, so it wasn't an unsolvable problem.

Humans and beasts were natural enemies; they weren't foolish enough to blame Ye Tian.

Moreover, Ye Tian was a Saint-level being, and they were only at the King level, hardly in a position to blame him.

"Don't worry, I will stay here for a while!" Ye Tian nodded.

But at that moment, his expression was somewhat uneasy, not out of fear of the Emperor-level beast, but because he feared wasting time.

He couldn't stay here indefinitely.

"It shouldn't be necessary. Attacking across realms, the Emperor-level beast probably can't do it many times without risking death. At most, it will make another move in half a month or a month. Regardless of whether it can kill me or not, it should end its attempts after that!" Ye Tian speculated.

The next attack might be more terrifying, but he had no fear.

On the other side of the space rift, in the beast realm.

The Emperor-level ape King Kong was weakened. It, along with the three other Emperor-level beasts that had torn the space rift, had also suffered backlash and were seriously injured.

"Kong, I'm injured and need to recuperate!" one of the beasts said.

"Kong, I must go too. No matter what you offer, we can't make a move again. The backlash is too great; it could damage our foundation, and no treasure can compensate for that," another added.

"Kong, let it go. You're too crazy. Attacking across realms and still failing, that human has teleportation ability; you can't kill him," the third said, and one by one, they left.

"Teleportation!" King Kong gritted its teeth in anger.

It hadn't expected the human to possess teleportation. A medium-level spatial talent's teleportation should have been insufficient to escape, so the human's spatial talent must be of a high level. Kong knew well that it couldn't kill a Saint-level human with a high-level spatial talent under these circumstances.

"Ming Kong, you saw it too. That human probably has a high-level spatial talent. I… probably can't kill him!" King Kong said helplessly to Ming Kong.

"But I must avenge my descendant. If I request an Emperor-level beast with a top-tier spatial talent to make a move, you must strike one more time to kill that Saint-level human. After that, we can let this matter rest, or I, Ming Kong, won't let it go," Ming Kong said coldly.

"A top-tier spatial talent, Emperor-level beast? You mean…"

Kong thought of someone, his face changing dramatically.

"The Space Devouring Beast Emperor Ling, how can you persuade him to act?" King Kong was greatly shocked.

The Space Devouring Beast Emperor Ling was an extremely formidable existence among the Emperor-level beasts, possessing a top-tier spatial talent. Even Kong feared that it might not be able to escape from Emperor Ling. Emperor Ling had only recently ascended to the Emperor level; if they were of the same realm, Emperor Ling could easily kill Kong with a single strike.

This was one of the most fearsome Emperor-level beasts in the Ape-Dragon Beast Realm!

"I happen to know Emperor Ling and can ask for his assistance once. Emperor Ling can help us tear the space rift and suppress the space from afar, but he won't attack the human directly as the cost is too high and he's unwilling to do so. The final blow must be delivered by you. If you agree, I will notify him to come," Ming Kong said.

After pondering, Kong replied in a deep voice, "I am willing to make one more move, but only after I've had some rest. Otherwise, striking twice in quick succession is too much for me to bear."

"Alright, then I'll wait," Ming Kong responded.

Kong consumed several rare millennia-old spiritual herbs, which greatly aided its recovery from the backlash.

Over time, Kong's injuries visibly healed, its aura growing stronger and gradually overcoming its weakness. In a blink, fifteen days passed.

…

"Under triple time acceleration, after 25 days, equivalent to 75 days of cultivation, my deep brain domain has finally opened up 4%, and my physical strength has reached 400,000 elephant power. My strength has doubled again!" Ye Tian clenched his fist, very satisfied with his progress. With stronger cultivation, his spatial talent's abilities also greatly improved. If an Emperor-level beast attacked again, he could easily teleport away. He had a feeling that the Emperor-level beasts' retaliation would come soon.

"Just in time, the cooldown for my talent-copying ability is over. Maybe I can get a good talent from the Emperor-level beast!" Ye Tian fantasized.

On the other side, King Kong had recovered from its superficial injuries and suppressed the backlash, ready for one more attempt.

"Ming Kong, I can make another move. Call Emperor Ling," King Kong said.

"Alright!" Ming Kong notified Emperor Ling using a unique beast communication method.

In just a few seconds, the figure of a beast appeared before King Kong and Ming Kong. The Space Devouring Beast Emperor Ling had arrived! It was ten meters long, with a dark golden body, and half of its body consisted of its head, making it look very bizarre. It also had faint spatial patterns on its body, clearly a natural spatial talent beast.

"Lord Emperor Ling!" King Kong greeted Emperor Ling very politely. In the beast realm, strength was respected. Emperor Ling was much stronger than Kong, and was capable of killing him.

"Ming Kong, what's the matter?" Emperor Ling ignored Kong and turned to Ming Kong.

"I would like to ask for your assistance once!" Ming Kong explained the situation, including the space rift and the killing of its offspring.

"Alright, I agree. I will only use my spatial confinement ability. With my top-tier spatial talent, that human Saint-level being's high-level spatial talent will be almost useless. He definitely won't be able to use his spatial talent. King Kong, you can take the opportunity to kill him," Emperor Ling agreed.

"Thank you, Emperor Ling!" Ming Kong expressed gratitude.

"Just this once," Emperor Ling stated.
