Chapter 425: Beast Contracts

“Have they all gathered now?”

As the number of his controlled legendary-level beast tamers increased to 53, Ye Xuan took the golden scales from the legendary-level beast tamers and extracted their intel.

Through the scales, he sensed that the rest of the legendary-level beast tamers in the legendary-level zone had all gathered at one location. There were no more lone teams of legendary-level beast tamers in the area.

Ye Xuan shook his head at this unfortunate news. He knew that it would be near impossible for him to capture any more legendary-level beast tamers now.

He also extrapolated from the intel that there were a total of two hundred legendary-level beast tamers from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets sent to the Ancient God Plains at the start.

Two hundred legends composed a terrifying force, but all Ye Xuan thought about was how unfortunate he was to control barely a quarter of them. What a shame.

“Gu Motian!” Ye Xuan muttered the name under his breath.

Gu Motian of the Alliance of Ten Thousands Planets was the one who oversaw this operation into the Ancient God Plains.

He was the beast tamer who passed out the golden scales. He was the king of the Holy-Eyed Clan.

Gu Motian benefited greatly from the discovery of the Sacrifice Spell. His cultivation level increased tremendously.

Many have rumoured that he had ascended above legendary level and reached the fabled monarch level. He gave off such a powerful aura that even legendary-level beast tamers trembled in his presence.

Gu Motian was dangerous. Ye Xuan had to be cautious.

Ye Xuan shook his head. He knew that he could not go about recklessly anymore.

The way he was roaming around, following the golden scale to capture legendary-level beast tamers from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets was too high profile.

If he went on like this, it would not be long before Gu Motian finds him.

If Gu Motian had indeed evolved to monarch-level, or if any of his beasts were monarch-level, he would not be an opponent Ye Xuan could deal with.

Or rather, not an opponent he would want to deal with.

No monarch-level beast tamer had ever existed in the Milky Star Way before.

No one knew of the destructive capabilities and potentials of a beast-tamer on this level.

In addition, it seemed very likely that Gu Motian’s Golden Raptor was a space-element beast.

“Shoo!”

The Tree of World sliced through the void, carrying Ye Xuan quickly into the distance.

At the same time, Ye Xuan made a hand gesture and withdrew all the golden scales he obtained to the Tidal Treasure Snail’s beast world.

He did that to shut off any aura the golden scale gave off so that Gu Motian would not be able to track him.

“Roar!”

Somewhere in the ancient forest, a giant monster trampled through the trees.

It was a terrifying yet strange creature. It looked like a terrifying ape, but in the place of its hair were blackish-purple scales. The size of its mouth could fit a house as it opened wide for a feral roar.

The powerful sound waves generated from its roar rolled far off into the distance, bellowing through trees and other vegetation.

As the ape roared, the void behind it opened and the white-cloaked Ye Xuan appeared. He stood on a single leaf from the Tree of World as he examined the monster before him.

This was a Dark-Scaled Magic Ape. It was a legendary-level beast.

Since Ye Xuan had to lay low from capturing and controlling legendary-level beast tamers at the moment, he would do with capturing these legendary-level beasts for a while.

He planned on having all of his beast tamers own at least two beasts.

This would greatly increase his combat power as well. Not to mention it would also boost his luck points.

He had already gained so much from this trip to the Ancient God Planet.

Shoo… shoo…

Space energy emanated from the Tree of World’s branches. In the next moment, Ye Xuan’s legendary-level beast tamers appeared out of the void one after another and closed in on the three hundred meters tall Dark-Scaled Magic Ape.

The Dark-Scaled Magic Ape was surrounded from all sides.

Rumble!

Then, all of the legendary-level beast tamers’ legendary level beasts cast their perspective fields and exerted immense pressure against their one common foe.

The Dark Scaled Magic Ape’s knees buckled under the pressure. With two loud snaps, it tumbled to the earth. The impact of its fall created a huge crater.

“Roar…woo..”

Its roar turned into a whimper. It seemed like an injured puppy the way it looked at the surrounding legendary-level beast tamers with alarm.

Ye Xuan saw this scene from afar and shook his head.

Even though this Dark-Scaled Magic Ape was a legendary-level beast, its potential was very subpar.

Should it not come across any drastic benefits in the future, its current level would most likely be its limit.

However, it would be difficult to find any better legendary level beasts on the Ancient God Plains.

Any legendary level beasts above three stars were beyond rare.

Even two-star legendary-level beasts were difficult to come by.

But it was fine to Ye Xuan since most of his controlled beast tamers were only of average potential.

To many of them, reaching legendary level was their limit.

Even if they would come across higher grade legendary-level beasts, they would not be able to contract them.

So Ye Xuan did not have high standards for the beasts either.

“Roar…woo…woo…”

Back to the encirclement, the Dark-Scaled Magic Ape had given up its futile struggles and submitted under the immense pressures of the fields cast collectively by the legendary-level beast tamers.

Excitedly, one of Ye Xuan’s beast tamers began the process of contracting the ape.

The contracting was a very lengthy process.

After about half an hour, the beast tamer drenched in sweat finally finished contracting the Dark-Scaled Magic Ape.

Ye Xuan was not too happy with the rate they took. He knew he was in for a long day.

Most of his subordinates had terrible talents and potential, compared to him of course.

If it was him, it would not have taken close to that long even if he was contracting a five-star legendary-level beast.

Not to mention that Dark-Scaled Magic Ape had already submitted.

However, Ye Xuan did not have a way to speed up this process for his beast tamers.

After the Dark-Scaled Magic Ape had been contracted, he let the Tree of World quickly take him to the next location.

He planned on having all of his legendary-level beast tamers own two legendary-level beasts.

“Rumble!”

Far off in the distant sky, a large golden raptor flew close to the earth. The shadow it cast blocked out the sun like a looming thunder cloud.

On its back rode a beast tamer from the Three-Eyed Clan. They came to an area in the legendary-level zone where the remaining 150 legendary-level beast tamers from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets gathered.

“There are only this many of you guys left?”

Upon arrival, Gu Motian scanned across the group of legendary-level beast tamers and discovered that their numbers had diminished by almost a quarter.

His expression was ice cold. The men heard the disappointment in his voice and looked down to avoid his gaze.

After they gathered and sensed that there were no more legendary-level beast tamers in the area, they immediately realized that something terrible probably happened to the others.

However, they did not even know who the foe was. None of them knew!

They were anguished, mad and afraid.

It was an unfamiliar feeling for most of them. After all, they were legendary-level beast tamers, the best of the best in the Milky Star Way. Some time ago, they all stood at the pinnacle of power in this universe.

Even now, they still struck fear throughout the Milky Star Way.

A group as powerful as they were when had they ever lost this many legendary-level beast tamers without even knowing who the opponent was?

What great shame to their name!

However, they had no solution to this situation. Not even Gu Motian knew what to do.

Ye Xuan had already put away the golden scales. Gu Motian could not track him.

While the Gu Motian and his group of legendary-level beast tamers stood helpless, Ye Xuan continued on his beast capturing endeavour.

Time progressed slowly for him. Three days passed.
