Chapter 221: Returning to Zhonghai, Empress Yue’s Excitement!

TL: Etude

"Indiscriminate Attack!"

At Yagyu the Killing Sword's command, several Emperors made their move.

Boom!

A series of attacks landed within the Sakura God Tree's internal space. Under such intense assault, those with the talent for invisibility had no chance to evade.

Beside the tree's core.

Ye Tian silently lamented; he had originally planned to steal all the sakura sap, but now, some still remained.

"Forget it, let's leave this bit of sakura sap. Maybe the people of the island nation can revive the Sakura God Tree. It wouldn't be bad to come back and harvest more later."

With this in mind, Ye Tian gave up on continuing to extract the sakura sap.

As for the Emperors' attacks, he couldn't completely avoid them, and being discovered was inevitable.

Moreover, the exit was blocked, so he had to forcefully break through.

"Spatial Imprisonment!"

Ye Tian used his spatial talent to freeze the area.

Then, he teleported to the wooden door.

At that moment, the door was blocked by two Emperors.

"Scram!"

With a single strike, Ye Tian killed the two Emperors and forcefully burst out.

All this was done in the blink of an eye.

After rushing out of the Sakura God Tree, Ye Tian passed through the Sakura Hall and entered the outside world, becoming invisible again.

Yagyu the Killing Sword's face darkened; he had failed to stop his opponent.

Now that the opponent had entered the outside world and become invisible, it was impossible to find him unless he attacked the entire base.

But would he dare?

Attacking the entire base would mean destroying it.

"Lord Sword Emperor Yagyu, only about 50 jin of sakura sap is left. Losing over ninety-nine percent of it, the Sakura God Tree, this wondrous object, is likely ruined!" said an Emperor with a heavy expression.

"We must save the sakura sap at all costs. This wondrous object is a gift from heaven, the hope for the rise of our Sakura Super Base. Without it, our development will be significantly hampered!" Yagyu the Killing Sword declared.

"Yes!"

The Emperors of several major forces responded.

"Lord Sword Emperor Yagyu, the mysterious Emperor who stole the sakura sap just now seemed to be… Yagyu Hakaru!"

An Emperor spoke up.

"Yes, I saw it too. It looked like Yagyu Hakaru, but isn't he dead?"

"Yagyu Hakaru is extremely reckless and unbridled. It might indeed be his doing. That corpse might be problematic."

"Lord Sword Emperor Yagyu, we should examine Yagyu Hakaru's corpse. If it's a fake, we've all been fooled!"

In fact, not only these Emperors noticed, but Yagyu the Killing Sword also recognized the face of the man, identical to Yagyu Hakaru. However, he was too angry to mention it at the moment.

Now that the other Emperors mentioned it, he naturally decided to investigate Yagyu Hakaru's corpse.

"Let's go check Yagyu Hakaru's corpse!"

Yagyu the Killing Sword said.

Yagyu Hakaru's corpse was placed in his original residence. Everyone arrived at Yagyu Hakaru's palace and began to examine the body.

Upon a thorough inspection, they discovered the issue.

"The body has been tampered with; this is not Yagyu Hakaru's corpse!"

Yagyu the Killing Sword was furious.

He was certain that the Emperor who stole the sakura sap was Yagyu Hakaru.

"Good, very good. Yagyu Hakaru, you've hidden yourself so deeply, possessing talents in space, soul attacks, and invisibility. You've probably been using the sakura sap for years to enhance these three talents. Now that they've improved significantly, you began planning to seize the sakura sap!"

"Yagyu Hakaru, you are too selfish. You are a criminal of our Sakura Super Base and a traitor to the island nation!"

Yagyu the Killing Sword roared continuously, his voice echoing for miles.

The other Emperors were also furious. By stealing over ninety-nine percent of the Sakura God Tree, they were deprived of their interests, even affecting their descendants' access to the sakura sap.

This was tantamount to opposing the entire Sakura Super Base!

Alas, they couldn't find Yagyu Hakaru, nor did they know how to search for him.

Perhaps Yagyu Hakaru had already fled the Sakura Super Base at the first opportunity.

The long-dead Yagyu Hakaru had no idea that he was being blamed for such a significant issue, becoming a criminal in the eyes of the Sakura Super Base, doomed to be infamous forever.

For several days, Yagyu Hakaru was nowhere to be found. The Emperors gave up on searching for him but publicized his crimes, revealing the destruction of the Sakura God Tree but concealing the matter of the sakura sap.

That night,

Ye Tian arrived at the headquarters of the Hanazono Sect.

He enveloped a pavilion with his copy talent, where a meeting was being held inside.

"Good, five Emperors are here!"

Ye Tian smiled coldly.

The five Emperors of the Hanazono Sect were not very strong; the strongest barely reached the level of the thirty-six Emperors and were not particularly formidable.

Such five Emperors, he could kill in an instant.

Boom!

Ye Tian burst in, using spatial imprisonment to lock the void.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

With each slash, he killed the five Emperors of the Hanazono Sect in just five strikes.

Simultaneously,

Ye Tian used his fire domain talent and Five Elements Transformation talents. Its immense power almost instantly destroyed the Hanazono Sect's headquarters, burning many Grandmasters, Kings, and Saints to death.

The Hanazono Sect was annihilated in a single breath.

"Hanazono Sect, you brought this upon yourselves for daring to attack Huaxia's major base!"

Ye Tian felt no cruelty; he would kill as many cold-blooded islanders as there were.

Swoosh!

He activated his invisibility talent and left.

Soon after, several Emperors arrived at the Hanazono Sect headquarters, only to find the burnt ruins and numerous corpses, including the remains of the five Emperors.

"The five Emperors of the Hanazono Sect died from sword techniques. The perpetrator has disappeared. The primary suspect: Yagyu Hakaru!"

An Emperor declared after inspecting.

Unavoidably, Yagyu Hakaru was blamed again.

…

After destroying the Hanazono Sect, Ye Tian did not stay in the Sakura Super Base. He left directly and returned to the Huaxia lands.

Soon, Ye Tian was back at Zhonghai Super Base.

In the Tian Pavilion,

Ye Tian sat with Empress Yue in a room.

"Yue'er, I made a great harvest in the Sakura Super Base!"

Ye Tian eagerly took out a barrel of sakura sap.

"What is this?"

Empress Yue curiously looked at the sakura sap.

"This is sakura sap, a miraculous substance from the Sakura God Tree. It can enhance a person's talents and even elevate someone's cultivation talent to the Morning Star level. It can also improve special talents, raising even weak talents to the top level," Ye Tian explained.

"That's incredible!"

Empress Yue was amazed.

Such a treasure was unheard of to her.

"Yue'er, try some!"

Ye Tian suggested.

"Okay!"

Empress Yue drank some sakura sap, finding it tasty and feeling a warm sensation deep in her soul as the energy of the sakura sap was absorbed by her talent marks.

Empress Yue quickly absorbed the sakura sap energy using her Moon Hand talent.

Time passed,

Ye Tian observed Empress Yue's talent situation and soon noticed changes in her talents.

Human: Empress Yue

Cultivation Talent: Dawn

Strength Talent: Mystic

Defense Talent: Mystic

Speed Talent: Pseudo-Mystic (90%)

Moon God Talent: Mystic

Moon Blade Talent: Top

Moon Hand Talent: Top

Originally, Empress Yue's Moon Hand talent was only high-level, but now it had transformed into top-level.

"Husband, my Moon Hand talent has evolved to top-level!"

Empress Yue exclaimed in surprise.

"Yue'er, you can start collecting treasures that increase talents. Focus on those that can enhance your own strength. Even if they can only increase weak talents, collect them," Ye Tian advised.

"Okay!"

Empress Yue nodded excitedly.

With the sakura sap, her strength was sure to grow rapidly.
