Chapter 466: Slaying a Ghost Clan Prince and Frantically Collecting Netherworld Stones
Confronted with a peak-level Child of the Universe, Prince Gui Li didn’t believe he stood a chance against his opponent.
If he didn’t flee, there was a good chance he would meet his demise here today.
Unfortunately, escaping in front of a spatial talent was extremely difficult.
The space around them had already been solidified by Ye Tian, creating immense spatial pressure, which greatly slowed down Prince Gui Li’s speed.
Moreover, Ye Tian had activated his Spatial Divine Form Divine Ability, making him incredibly fast.
In an instant, Ye Tian arrived beside Prince Gui Li.
Boom! Under Ye Tian’s relentless attacks, Prince Gui Li simply couldn’t withstand the assault.
Although he could make his body ethereal, Ye Tian’s attacks were spatial in nature, meaning even an ethereal body couldn’t block them.
“Xumi Palm!”
Ye Tian’s hand forcefully descended, enveloping the space around Prince Gui Li.
During his time in the Supreme Hall of Humanity, Ye Tian had also delved into the study of palm techniques.
Now, he had successfully mastered the Xumi Palm, a Super God level palm technique, to perfection.
Under the state of Spatial Divine Form Divine Ability, the might of Ye Tian’s Xumi Palm was terrifying.
Boom! With one palm strike, a vast expanse of space shattered.
At that moment, a large bell shielded Prince Gui Li.
This bell was a middle-grade Divine Artifact, and among them, it was of high quality. Even many True Gods didn’t possess such artifacts.
“Phantom Gold Thread Divine Ability!”
With a thought from Ye Tian, countless Phantom Gold Threads emerged from the void, instantly slicing towards Prince Gui Li.
These countless Phantom Gold Threads constantly clashed and sliced against the middle-grade Divine Artifact bell.
Simultaneously, Ye Tian bombarded the bell with his fists.
Although the middle-grade Divine Artifact was powerful, even the strongest Child of the Universe was only at the Emperor level, lacking divine power. Only divine power could truly activate the might of a Divine Artifact.
Therefore, Prince Gui Li couldn’t unleash the full power of this defensive Divine Artifact.
Crack! The protective light of the middle-grade defensive Divine Artifact fractured, and Prince Gui Li was severely injured and bleeding. “No!”
Prince Gui Li was filled with terror.
With a snap, the defenses of the middle-grade defensive Divine Artifact finally broke, and Ye Tian’s hand reached in, grabbing Prince Gui Li out.
The terrifying spatial power continuously shattered Prince Gui Li’s body.
Even as a Child of the Universe, he couldn’t resist Ye Tian’s Spatial Divine Form Divine Ability.
It could be said that under the Spatial Divine Form Divine Ability, every move Ye Tian made was the strongest spatial attack! In less than ten seconds, Prince Gui Li’s physical body was completely destroyed by Ye Tian, meeting his end on the spot!
In the distance, the five Heavenly Prides of the Ghost Clan revealed expressions of horror.
In their eyes, Prince Gui Li was an invincible existence, a noble Child of the Universe.
But now, the incredibly powerful and seemingly Eternal Prince Gui Li was slain by a human Child of the Universe.
“This is a major incident!”
Prince Gui Li’s identity was not ordinary; he was a descendant of a Universal God.
It was easy to imagine how enraged that Universal God would be once the news of Prince Gui Li’s demise spread. And as Prince Gui Li’s five servants, their fates would be sealed if they returned to the Ghost Clan.
Despite this, they didn’t wish to perish here.
“Run!”
The five Heavenly Prides of the Ghost Clan scattered, hoping to escape in all directions.
Suddenly, Phantom Gold Threads appeared.
In an instant, the Ghost Clan Heavenly Prides were bound, and the Phantom Gold Threads sliced them into countless pieces with a single motion.
“They’re too weak!”
Ye Tian shook his head as he looked at the five deceased Ghost Clan Heavenly Prides.
Before becoming a Child of the Universe, facing five nine-star peerless Heavenly Prides of the Ghost Clan alone might have been challenging for him. Although he could win, killing all five nine-star peerless Heavenly Prides of the Ghost Clan would have been impossible.
But now, slaying five nine-star peerless Heavenly Prides of the Ghost Clan was as easy as waving his hand for him.
After witnessing the demise of Prince Gui Li and the five Ghost Clan Heavenly Prides, the Heavenly Pride of Scorching Sun and Heavenly Pride of Crescent Moon flew over.
“Thank you, Prince of Ten Thousand Laws!”
The Heavenly Pride of Scorching Sun and Heavenly Pride of Crescent Moon bowed and thanked him.
“It was nothing. I didn’t expect you two to enter the Realm of Oblivion as well!”
Ye Tian said to the Heavenly Pride of Scorching Sun and Heavenly Pride of Crescent Moon.
“We had no choice. The competition in the outer hall of the Supreme Hall of Humanity was too fierce. Seeing that the task of collecting Netherworld Stones in the Realm of Oblivion offered a good reward, we decided to try our luck here!”
The Heavenly Pride of Scorching Sun said with some resignation.
Once upon a time, he was among the top Heavenly Prides in the Pan Star Field.
But now, having entered the Supreme Hall of Humanity, they couldn’t compare to the Princes in the inner hall, and even in the outer hall, they were at the bottom.
This development dealt a significant blow to them.
But they had no choice. Since they had joined the Supreme Hall of Humanity, they had to seize every opportunity to strive for the status of a Child of the Universe.
“How many Netherworld Stones have you collected?” Ye Tian inquired.
“I’ve collected two, and Heavenly Pride Crescent Moon has collected one,” Raging Sun Heavenly Pride responded.
“Wait here, I’ll go collect some Netherworld Stones for you to help complete your task,” Ye Tian suddenly declared.
“What?” Both Raging Sun Heavenly Pride and Heavenly Pride Crescent Moon were somewhat baffled.
Netherworld Stones were incredibly precious, and finding them was not a matter of strength but luck.
Even for a Child of the Universe, locating a Netherworld Stone was extremely difficult.
Moreover, the task of collecting Netherworld Stones required a total of ten. Together, they needed twenty Netherworld Stones.
But Ye Tian proposed to help them complete their task, and they had only collected three Netherworld Stones in total, which meant they still needed to collect seventeen more.
The difficulty of this task was enormous! “Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, if you help us collect Netherworld Stones, it will waste too much of your time! It will delay your cultivation time; let’s forget it!”
Both Raging Sun Heavenly Pride and Heavenly Pride Crescent Moon did not want Ye Tian’s cultivation to be delayed because of their task, as they would feel guilty.
“Have you forgotten that I can enter the bottom of the Realm of Oblivion? There are many rivers in the Realm of Oblivion, and each river nurtures a few Netherworld Stones. I just need to find a few more rivers to collect enough Netherworld Stones.
Moreover, I’ve just slain five Heavenly Prides of the Ghost Clan and a Prince, and they should also have some Netherworld Stones on them!” Ye Tian explained.
“Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, the value of Netherworld Stones is immeasurable. Why would you help us like this?” Raging Sun Heavenly Pride and Heavenly Pride Crescent Moon expressed their astonishment.
“Because, back in the Saber Realm Fragment World, you revealed to me the secret of becoming a Child of the Universe. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have put all my effort into advancing my state of mind.
Although it was a trade at that time, your help did contribute to my becoming a Child of the Universe.
So, giving you some Netherworld Stones is nothing!” Ye Tian explained.
He didn’t want to owe anyone favors. If it weren’t for Heavenly Pride Crescent Moon and Raging Sun Heavenly Pride, he might not have been able to enter the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
Initially, he only took Heavenly Pride Crescent Moon and Raging Sun Heavenly Pride out of the Saber Realm Fragment World, but such a trade was unfair, and he had also taken their permission tokens, indeed owing them at that time.
Now that Heavenly Pride Crescent Moon and Raging Sun Heavenly Pride were in trouble, he was willing to help if he could.
Besides, he had already collected a dozen Netherworld Stones, and since the task of collecting Netherworld Stones could only be done once and not repeated, collecting more didn’t serve much purpose for him, and Netherworld Stones couldn’t be traded outside. The higher-ups of humanity strictly controlled Netherworld Stones.
Of course, if he traded the excess Netherworld Stones with other Princes, he could indeed trade for a lot of points.
However, collecting Netherworld Stones was relatively easy for him. Even if he gave seventeen Netherworld Stones to Heavenly Pride Crescent Moon and Raging Sun Heavenly Pride, he could continue to collect more.
Soon after, Ye Tian scavenged the spatial rings of the five Heavenly Prides of the Ghost Clan and Prince Gui Li.
After searching, Ye Tian found many treasures and six Netherworld Stones.
“Take these six Netherworld Stones for now. Wait here for me; I’ll go find the rest of the Netherworld Stones.” Ye Tian instructed.
“Thank you, Prince of Ten Thousand Laws!” Both Heavenly Pride Crescent Moon and Raging Sun Heavenly Pride were incredibly excited. They had thought it would be difficult to collect all the Netherworld Stones.
But now, with Ye Tian’s help, they felt confident they could complete the task.
Whoosh! Ye Tian teleported away.
Next, Ye Tian began searching for rivers in the Realm of Oblivion.
Soon, he found a sizeable river.
This time, he didn’t phase into space.
Phasing into space would allow his divine sense to detect surroundings, but it would limit the range of detection, slowing down the search for Netherworld Stones.
Thus, Ye Tian chose to enter the river physically.
Having mastered the second realm of the Art of Immortality, even if his physical body entered the riverbed, he wasn’t afraid of the riverbed’s spirit of death.
This significantly increased his speed in searching for Netherworld Stones.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
During this half-month, Ye Tian found a total of twenty-three Netherworld Stones.
“It’s time to go back. I’ll give eleven Netherworld Stones to Raging Sun Heavenly Pride and Heavenly Pride Crescent Moon, then I’ll continue searching for Netherworld Stones!” Ye Tian murmured to himself.
