âNice find!â
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianâs eyes gleamed with excitement, and he followed the Dark Heavenly Ape deeper into the lair.
The Sky Mangle Beastâs oppressive aura was powerful, but the Dark Heavenly Ape could barely withstand getting near it and could also protect Ye Tian. This allowed Ye Tian not to worry about the Sky Mangle Beastâs pressure and he didnât need to attempt to mobilize the power of the Chaos Black Lotus.
As they delved deeper into the lair, the pair arrived at a vast underground nest.
This place was luxuriously decorated by the Sky Mangle Beast, the surrounding rock walls were covered with shimmering crystals, filling the entire lair with a spectrum of colors.
Moreover, there were massive amounts of chaos crystals in the Sky Mangle Beastâs lair, which were of even higher quality than those Ye Tian initially obtained in the Chaos Tide.
Such a vast quantity of chaos crystals, whose value was exceedingly high, were piled up here like common stones.
Of course, these chaos crystals were undoubtedly the more commonly valued treasures; there were many other treasures as well.
The Dark Heavenly Ape had no interest in ordinary treasures, for it was once one of the overlords of this minor world. Although the other powerful Dark Heavenly Apes had left, the resources that remained were abundant.
If it werenât for the fear of advancing to the Planetary System level, it would have already used those resources to break through to the Planetary System level, Galaxy level, or even the Universal God realm.
âThis place is full of the Sky Mangle Beastâs treasures; take whatever you find useful.
When the Sky Mangle Beast was alive, nobody dared to enter here.
Unfortunately, the Sky Mangle Beast is now dead, and we can come and go as we please,â said the Dark Heavenly Ape.
âDonât you want these treasures?â Ye Tian asked.
âTheyâre of no use to me!â the Dark Heavenly Ape replied. âI need to leave this universe soon. I am not a creature of this universe, and I cannot advance to a higher realm here. The way I will leave is quite special, left by my master. I canât take too many treasures with me, or else I wonât be able to go.â
âLeaving the universe!!!â
Ye Tian was shocked. Even a Supreme within the universe would find it difficult to accomplish such a feat, and yet the master of the Golden Desolation Hall had left the means for the Dark Heavenly Ape to leave. How incredibly profound.
He did not ask how to leave, as a creature of the universe, he was destined to not stray too far from the universe, as he would not be able to survive.
So, if he could not transcend, what use was there in asking how to leave?
âMay I take all these?â Ye Tian asked.
âGo ahead!â the Dark Heavenly Ape said indifferently.
Immediately, Ye Tian began to collect the treasures. He first gathered the chaos crystals, then started collecting the other treasures.
Before long, Ye Tian had taken most of the treasures.
Suddenly.
A small flower with golden patterns caught Ye Tianâs attention; it was originally stored in a jade box, which Ye Tian had opened.
The moment he opened it, his copy talent transmitted a feeling of longing.
âThis flower can evolve my copy talent!â
Ye Tian was thrilled.
It had been a long time since his copy talent had last improved.
During that time, he had encountered countless treasures, including many that could enhance talents, but his copy talent had shown no signs of activity.
He even thought that his copy talent had reached its highest limit and could not be further enhanced.
But now, this small flower told Ye Tian that his copy talent had not yet reached its limit and could continue to improve.
Immediately.
Ye Tian carefully collected the small flower with golden patterns, making no overly unusual movements.
He planned to refine this flower after leaving.
Besides this flower, there were many other extremely precious treasures that would be greatly beneficial even to Dominator-level beings.
Many of the treasures here were too advanced for Ye Tian to use now, but he could completely trade them with the Supreme Hall of Humanity or the nine Supreme-level forces to obtain the treasures he wanted.
Soon, Ye Tian had practically plundered the place.
Originally, Ye Tian had planned to have the Dark Heavenly Ape lead him to raid many overlord-level lairs in the Chaos Mini World, but he had no right to make the Dark Heavenly Ape do so.
The Dark Heavenly Ape had brought him here because he had become a potential inheritor, so it was merely giving him a chance and making amends.
Continuing to have the Dark Heavenly Ape help him find treasures would be excessive and might cause its displeasure.
Besides, having enough resources was sufficient; being too greedy was not good.
Immediately.
The Dark Heavenly Ape left, and Ye Tian also did not linger any longer, hurrying
to the entrance of the Chaos Mini World.
He had been in the Chaos Mini World long enough, according to the original agreement with Primordial Divine Mountain.
Every year, the Dominators of Primordial Divine Mountain would open a passage to let people from the Chaos Mini World come out.
However, if too much time passed, the people of Primordial Divine Mountain might think that no one was left in the Chaos Mini World and could leave.
âThe Dominators of Primordial Divine Mountain would stay in the outside world for a few years at most. When I last spoke with Li Xinâer, she advised me to leave within three years, and it has already been three years.
I hope the Dominators of Primordial Divine Mountain will wait a little longer, or else Iâll have to wait for the upper echelons of the Supreme Hall of Humanity to rescue me!â Ye Tian thought.
On this day.
Ye Tian arrived at the spot where he had first entered the Chaos Mini World; this place was still the territory of the Chaotic Ferocious Mammoth, but these beasts were not gathered together but scattered around.
Ye Tian concealed his aura and stealthily awaited the opening of the spatial channel, ready to rush out the moment it appeared.
The Chaotic Ferocious Mammoth could not leave; if they tried to force their way out, they would certainly be annihilated by the dominators outside.
Time ticked away, and another three months passed, making it a total of four years.
Suddenly, the space ruptured! A spatial channel appeared, attracting the attention of many Chaotic Ferocious Mammoth.
However, these beasts were extremely wary of the spatial channel and dared not enter it, for none of their peers who had entered it had returned, believed to have died.
Thus, they refrained from entering the spatial channel.
Whoosh! Ye Tian teleported over, attempting to quickly enter the spatial channel.
At that moment, several Chaotic Ferocious Mammoth spotted Ye Tian and moved to block him.
âDie!â
Ye Tian waved his hand, and black lotuses appeared, quickly transforming into realms of black lotuses.
These black lotus realms enveloped the Chaotic Ferocious Mammoth, and then crushed the space within the black lotus realms.
Pfft! One by one, the Chaotic Ferocious Mammoth were crushed into dust, leaving no trace of life, all annihilated.
With the obstruction of the Chaotic Ferocious Mammoth removed, Ye Tian successfully entered the spatial channel and disappeared.
In the cosmic void.
Ye Tian emerged from the spatial channel and saw an Origin Artifact battleship, belonging to Primordial Divine Mountain.
The people of Primordial Divine Mountain had not left! Seeing Ye Tian emerge, a portal appeared on Primordial Divine Mountainâs battleship, allowing Ye Tian to enter.
Inside the battleship.
Ye Tian met Li Xinâer, who smiled at him, seemingly pleased with her own gains.
âPrince of Ten Thousand Laws, youâve finally come out. If I hadnât known that you wouldnât fall and suggested the battleship stay a bit longer, you would have had to wait until the people from the Supreme Hall of Humanity came to rescue you!â Li Xinâer said.
âThank you, Fairy Xinâer. I was delayed by some matters inside!â Ye Tian responded.
âIt seems Prince of Ten Thousand Laws had a good haul!â Li Xinâer remarked.
âJust scavenged a powerful creatureâs lair!â Ye Tian explained.
âThatâs really fortunate!â Li Xinâer commented.
âBut, youâll never guess what treasure I obtained,â Li Xinâer said.
âCould it be a Chaos Spiritual Treasure?â Ye Tian guessed curiously.
âYou guessed right, I did obtain a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, but it was taken away by a dominator from the Supreme Hall of Humanity for safety reasons. The value of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure is comparable to a Heavenly Venerable,â Li Xinâer explained.
Ye Tian was not disappointed at not having seen the Chaos Spiritual Treasure.
His own gains were more valuable than a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and besides, he wouldnât have been able to use the Chaos Spiritual Treasure himself.
After Ye Tianâs arrival, the people of Primordial Divine Mountain no longer waited and commanded the battleship to leave.
If there were still people in the Chaos Mini World, the Supremes of Primordial Divine Mountain could certainly calculate it and send dominators to rescue them later if necessary.
For now, their priority was to return those who had survived back to Primordial Divine Mountain, as this was the most pressing matter.
After all, this was not the territory of humanity, and staying here longer increased the risk of being discovered.
For safety reasons, they naturally had to leave immediately.
Several days later, the Origin Artifact battleship returned to Primordial Divine Mountain.
Ye Tian did not stay at Primordial Divine Mountain for long and was soon picked up by Dominator Dark, who brought Ye Tian back to the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
Upon his return, Ye Tian could no longer contain himself and immediately took out the golden-patterned flower.
âHopefully, this will bring an amazing change to my copy talent!â Ye Tian hoped.
Then, he swallowed the golden-patterned flower and began to rapidly refine it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Boom! A terrifying energy instantly engulfed Ye Tianâs celestial soul, infiltrating the talent imprint of his copy talent, causing the copy talentâs talent imprint to slowly undergo a transformation.
Time slowly passed, and the pain Ye Tian endured became increasingly terrifying.
However, his strong will and powerful celestial soul allowed him to gradually withstand it.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the pain disappeared, leaving only a sense of relief.
Immediately, Ye Tian checked the status of his copy talent.
