Chapter 424 - Fifty Legends
"What"s going on? Why is our commander telling us earlier to hurry towards the challenger-level zone and now giving the command to retreat and gather together?"
On the Ancient G.o.d Plains, a team of legendary-level beast tamers hurried along.
A while ago, they received an order to head over to the challenger-level zone.
But not long after that order was issued, a new order came down.
This time, they were to gather with all the other teams at one location.
They were all baffled by this command. They did not know what type of situation would cause their commander to issue such an order.
Could there possibly be a monster that required all of the legendary-level beast tamers to deal with?
After all, they were in the legendary-level zone. A being of that calibre should not be able to come here.
After much thought and discussion, the team could not figure out the situation.
"Legendary-level zone..."
While the teams were gathering, Ye Xuan arrived at the legendary-level zone through s.p.a.ce-travelling on the Tree of World.
He had never been to the legendary-level zone before.
The last time he came to the Ancient G.o.d Plains, he briefly visited the challenger-level zone.
"Hmm, a legendary-level monster?"
After Ye Xuan arrived, it did not take long before he found a legendary-level monster through the real-time mini-map of his Tidal Treasure Snail.
Seeing the legendary-level monster, Ye Xuan"s interest only sparked for a moment. He resisted the urge to immediately go check it out.
Even though the Seal Beast"s Slave Seal also worked against monsters, it was much more efficient to be used on beast tamers.
Whereas one seal could only control one monster, most legendary-level beast tamer could own at least two legendary-level beasts.
There was not any time for them to contract new beasts yet.
It was the same case for the seven new legendary-level beast tamers he recently controlled.
As Ye Xuan thought about the legendary-level beast, an idea came into mind and he left a Seed of the Void in the area.
If everything goes well, he would return to this area.
A legendary-level beast would be of tremendous worth. He did not have to contract or control it himself. He could simply defeat the beast to submission and have one of his controlled beast tamers contract it.
Shoo!
As soon as the Seed of the Void was planted into the surrounding s.p.a.ce, the Tree of World swooped its branches and carried Ye Xuan off to another location.
Between the s.p.a.ce-travelling intervals, Ye Xuan discovered more legendary-level beasts in the legendary-level zone.
Each time a legendary-level beast was found, Ye Xuan would cast out a Seed of the Void and mark the area.
"Aha! Found you guys!"
After several stops, Ye Xuan found what he came for.
Through the Tidal Treasure Snail"s real-time mini-map, he discovered a team of six legendary-level beast tamers.
"A team of six huh?"
Ye Xuan sharpened his gaze and increased his speed.
Of the beast tamers he controlled, sixteen had reached legendary level.
Sixteen to six should be considered a favourable matchup, and that was not taking into account the numerous challenger-level beast tamers Ye Xuan controlled.
"What"s going on?"
As Ye Xuan darted towards them, the six legendary-level beast tamers from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets realized something was wrong.
Just a moment ago, the Golden Scale in their hands began to give off a powerful bright light and started vibrating uncontrollably.
This strange phenomenon warned the team of six to feel that something was off.
However, they had no clue what that would be.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, as they hurried towards the direction they were guided to, the s.p.a.ce several hundred meters behind them shook and opened up.
Then, Ye Xuan and his Tree of World came into their view.
"What the? Ye Xuan?"
After they saw Ye Xuan walk out of the void and appear behind them, they were all stunned.
They realized that the reason for the Golden Scale"s vibration was to warn them away from Ye Xuan"s pursuit.
But why on earth was Ye Xuan pursuing them? Was he for real? They were incredulous at this development.
This must be some sort of a fantasy, a joke.
They were all beginning to question whether their commander had made a mistake.
Shoo, shoo...
Just as they were doubting their orders, eight s.p.a.ce tunnels appeared behind Ye Xuan and his Tree of World.
Numerous beast tamers emerged from these eight tunnels.
Even the weakest of them had challenger-level cultivation.
More than a dozen of them were legendary-level beast tamers.
Then, the legendary-level beast tamers each led several challenger-level beast tamers and reentered the s.p.a.ce tunnels.
The next time they appeared, they had encircled the six legendary-level beast tamers of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets from all directions.
"It"s you guys!"
Seeing this many familiar faces was a great shock to the six beast tamers from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets. Most of the beast tamers surrounding them were beast tamers the six once knew. Now they were doing Ye Xuan"s biddings as if they were his loyalist p.a.w.ns.
The strangeness and direness of the situation sent a s.h.i.+ver down the six"s spines.
They finally realized why their commander was issuing for them to gather, to escape. But it was too late.
By the time they had figured it out, it was too late.
Shoo, shoo...
Then, Ye Xuan"s p.a.w.ns step forth and give their minimal efforts against the six beast-tamers. After the six were soundly defeated, a bit of convincing from the control beast tamers was all it took for the six to join Ye Xuan"s cause.
This was much easier than acquiring the seven legendary-level beast tamers from earlier.
When the numbers were stacked seven to nine, the legendary-level beast tamers of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets still felt like they stood a slight chance.
But when the discrepancy was as large as six to sixteen, their hope and chances were slim to none.
That was not even counting the large amounts of challenger-level beast tamers Ye Xuan held.
A colony of ants can devour an elephant. Given enough of a numbers advantage, a swarm of challenger-level beast tamers could overtake a legend.
Not only that, every several challenger-level beast tamers Ye Xuan controlled were lead by a legendary-level beast tamer.
For all the aforementioned reasons, Ye Xuan was able to quickly submit these six legendary-level beast tamers and add them to his collection.
This meant that the number of legendary-level beast tamers he controlled increased to 22.
"22 Legends!"
Ye Xuan"s eyes flashed with excitement. After the six legendary-level beast tamers had joined him, he quickly hurried over towards a different location.
He planned on capturing more legendary-level beast tamers.
"Curse him! How is he so fast?"
Faraway, a man riding on a golden raptor sensed what had just happened. He furiously commanded the golden raptor to pick up the speed and darted towards Ye Xuan"s location.
He was both anxious and wildly livid.
Legendary-level beast tamers were unlike challenger-level beast tamers.
The fact that a team of legendary-level beast tamers was instantly wiped out after encountering Ye Xuan sent s.h.i.+vers down his spine.
He did not know what on earth those beast tamers had encountered, but his suspicion was still not on Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan best record so far was only defeating large amounts of master-level beast tamers, and that was in cooperation with many others.
How long had it been since that?
He did not believe that in this short amount of time, Ye Xuan had progressed to a point where he could take on a team of legendary-level beast tamers.
So what the h.e.l.l could it be?
As the man sped towards the legendary-level zone, Ye Xuan had completed several more s.p.a.ce travels and continued to increase the size of his beast tamers collection.
Each time a team of legendary-level beast tamers were soundly defeated and convinced, Ye Xuan controlled the captured team with the Seal Beast"s Slave Seal.
In just a short period of time, the number of legendary-level beast tamers he controlled ballooned to 30, then 40.
At last, he had managed to increase his collection to an astonis.h.i.+ng 53 legendary-level beast tamers before the rest gathered on the Ancient G.o.d Plains.
Scary hours.
