Chapter 399: Legend
"Hey, there little buddy. Can I ask you a question? Are you able to enslave a legendary-level beast tamer?"
Ye Xuan felt An Gucheng coming towards him quickly and asked the Seal Beast.
"What the heck do you think?"
The Seal Beast gave Ye Xuan a look like was an idiot and said, "a legendary-level beast tamer's soul is as tough as a rock. I'm only at the master level right now. What the heck do you think?"
"Mind your tone next time, or else I'll make you piss from a handstand."
Ye Xuan smacked the Seal Beast's little head.
The Seal Beast flinched.
Even though it despised Ye Xuan at that moment, it chose to keep its mouth shut.
"Also, I need you to cast a Void Shift Formation here and transport them away. Wait for my signal to come back and we will deal with the legendary-level beast tamer together."
Ye Xuan pointed at the forty or so challenger-level beast tamers before him.
Forty challenger-level beast tamers could summon about seventy challenger-level beasts.
With that many challenger-level beasts around, even legendary-level beast tamers would have to avoid them head-on.
"You are going to take on the legendary-level beast tamer?"
The Seal Beast was astonished.
It rarely took on challenger-level beast tamers, let alone legends.
After all, it was only master-level.
Yet Ye Xuan had more guts than it. Despite him reaching master-level just a short while ago, Ye Xuan already dared to take on a legendary-level beast tamer.
Even though Ye Xuan had its aid.
Even with the help of several dozen challenger-level beast tamers under its control, not many people could muster the courage to take on a legend.
"Alright, leave it to me!" The Seal Beast responded confidently.
It was very intrigued by the idea of ambushing a legendary-level beast tamer.
It almost imagined it to be some fun, leisure activity.
Like a small kitty, it was curious about all things.
"Buzz"... the Seal Beast lifted its snow-white front paw. A dark runic energy gathered around its palm and spun larger and larger until it became a massive formation that fell and engraved itself into the earth.
In a short moment, a new Void Shift Formation was complete.
The previously casted one was already used and depleted of its energy.
A new formation must be cast in its place.
After it cast the Void Shift Formation, the Seal Beast's slight figure disappeared in the sky and reappeared above a Holy-Eyed Clan beast tamer.
It brought everyone alone and flew away from Ye Xuan.
"Ye Xuan is going to kill a legendary-level beast tamer?"
All the challenger-level beast tamers were befuddled.
They heard the conversation between Ye Xuan and the Seal Beast loud and clear.
They all knew what Ye Xuan's intention was...
But they wondered who the legendary-level beast tamer he targeted was going to be.
There were very few legendary-level beast tamers in the Milky Star Way.
Each one of them were people of exceptional renown.
Most of them have joined the factions of the Silver Blood Alliance, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets, and the Great Xia Alliance.
So the legendary-level beast tamer Ye Xuan targeted this time was most likely one that belonged to either the Silver Blood Alliance or the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets.
This thought made the challenger-level beast tamers of both alliances feel extremely uneasy.
In their current state, their lives were completely in the hand of the Seal Beast. They could barely worry about anything else right now.
Shoo...
In an instant, the Seal Beast and the challenger-level beast tamers disappeared from Ye Xuan's view.
After they had vanished, Ye Xuan summoned the clone of the Big Dream Golden Rock and prepared for attack.
The shiny Big Dream Golden Rock was like a large golden disk. It floated before Ye Xuan and gave off radiant light.
It looked like one of those objects blessed with the Buddha's light in the temple. There was a sense of authority about it.
And then, Ye Xuan cast four Gates of Evolution.
Counting the one he used at the Divine Temple of Hunt's master-level zone yesterday, Ye Xuan only had six Gates of Evolution on his hand right now (one recovered).
Six Gates of Evolution did not provide enough confidence for Ye Xuan.
Therefore, he only planned on using two to three Gates of Evolution this time.
And if he could not defeat An Gucheng then, he would have no choice but to give up.
He could not bear to use all of his Gates of Evolution right here.
On a half-collapsed ruin overran by moss and vine, Ye Xuan stood on his World of Tree amongst a forest of gigantic pines.
He inspected the Void Shift Formation embedded into the earth, attempting to figure out all its functions.
Shoo!
An Gucheng closed in from the distance. He stood on his Three-headed Divine Flame Bird as it flew towards Ye Xuan's location. There was nothing but arrogance in the legendary-level beast tamer's eyes.
The Three-headed Divine Flame Bird he stood on had a wingspan of 300 meters. Its body was engulfed in crimson fire, making it look like the divine beast from ancient folklores.
Not all life forms would increase in size as it evolves.
Most life forms would only grow to their biological threshold. Afterwards, no matter how much stronger they evolve, their physical size would remain around the same.
An Gucheng's Three-headed Divine Flame Bird was like so.
Even though it was a legendary-level being, its wingspan was only 300 meters. But despite the lack of size, the terrifying heat and aura it gave off were enough to intimidate most foes.
"Ye Xuan?"
While mounting the Three-headed Divine Flame Bird, An Gucheng saw Ye Xuan standing on his Tree of World.
At that moment, many emotions flashed across his mind. There was surprise, then shock, and finally a mad joy.
This was a challenger-level zone. Encountering Ye Xuan here was undoubtedly a big shock and surprise to An Gucheng.
But those emotions only lingered for a moment before he was overcome by the mad satisfaction of finding Ye Xuan.
"Haha! I find the most slippery man just when I least expected it. Looks like today is my lucky day."
An Gucheng let out a wild laugh. The moment he saw Ye Xuan, he had already envisioned him as his prey.
Did the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets and the Silver Blood Alliance ever fear the Great Xia Alliance?
Not in the slightest.
They were only alarmed by the speed they were progressing.
However, they truly feared Ye Xuan.
Because the speed of Ye Xuan's growth was beyond unnatural.
He would make tremendous progress each day.
No matter what they threw at him, Ye Xuan always had an answer.
But lucky for them, An Gucheng came across Ye Xuan here and now.
He felt like the heavens willed his victory.
"I admit Ye Xuan, you really got some guts showing up here in the challenger-level zone as a master."
An Gucheng stared towards Ye Xuan from afar and laughed. "You couldn't possibly think that you could take on challenger-level beast tamers right now could you?"
"No matter, even if you thought that you could not have in your wildest dream think you'd meet me here right now."
As he spoke, the Three-headed Divine Flame Bird flapped its wings and summoned a field of fire around Ye Xuan.
The appearance of the fire field suppressed the entire area.
Even if there were space element beast tamers around here, it would be difficult for them to open up a space tunnel and escape.
"You are right, challenger-level beast tamers pose no threat to me."
"And as for you, I did not think I would meet you here in the challenger-level zone."
Ye Xuan stood on the Tree of World and replied calmly.
He looked straight into An Gucheng's eyes. There was no sense of panic or the slightest hint of an attempt to escape.
There was no need to put on an act now.
An Gucheng was already blinded by his arrogance and desire for victory.
All he wanted was to kill or capture Ye Xuan.
An Gucheng must have thought that he would be unrivalled in the challenger-level zone, that defeating Ye Xuan would be a piece of cake.
"You insolent fool!"
An Gucheng stared back as if he was looking at a dead man.
"Screech!"
In the next moment, he commanded his Three-headed Divine Flame Bird to dive towards Ye Xuan.
The Three-headed Divine Flame Bird flapped its wings and summoned beams of crimson lights. They flew into the sky and became fiery fire chains engraved with runic power.
The fire chains surrounded the space around Ye Xuan like a giant net, locking down any hopes of escape around him.
Then, it began closing in around Ye Xuan.
This time, he made up his mind to capture Ye Xuan alive.
"An Gucheng, have you ever doubted that I came to you too easy?"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan raised his voice through the fire and yelled.
Came too easy?
What does that mean?
An Gucheng flinched. He had a sudden bad feeling about all this.
Rumble!
At that moment, the Big Dream Golden Rock levitating at Ye Xuan's side suddenly transformed into the Tree of World.
Its height immediately expanded to 15,000 meters tall and broke through the Three-headed Divine Flame Bird's fire field in an instant.
At the same time, layers of shimmering light carrying boundless space energy suddenly appeared around An Gucheng and formed a Divine Enchantment that trapped him within.
