Chapter 114: The Invincible King Beast!
TL: Etude
"Xiao Xue, let's go!"
Ye Tian leapt onto Xiao Xue's back, and Xiao Xue soared into the sky, heading towards Demon Sea base.
Quickly, Xiao Xue approached Demon Sea base but stopped short of entering.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sounds of distant combat reached their ears.
"What intense fighting!"
Ye Tian's pupils constricted, deeply surprised.
Far away, a dense swarm of ferocious beasts was besieging Demon Sea base, attacking from both the sky and the ground. In the sky, a group of flying beasts, including numerous king-level beasts, relentlessly assaulted the defensive array. Meanwhile, on the ground, there were countless top-tier, high-tier, and medium-to-low-tier ferocious beasts, their numbers impossible to calculate.
Judging by the scale alone, this army of ferocious beasts was at least a hundred times larger than the beast swarm threatening Linhai Base, and their quality was much higher.
Throughout all this, there was one beast that had not made a move. It was a golden monkey, not very tall, standing at about fifty meters. However, its aura seemed to pierce the heavens; even the regular king-level beasts appeared as insignificant as ants before it.
Suddenly, the golden monkey glanced at Ye Tian, sending a chill down his spine.
"Terrifying!"
Ye Tian became fully aware of the formidable nature of this golden monkey.
He was at least 186,300 kilometers [1] away and was looking at the creature from an altitude of 1,000 meters, yet he had been noticed.
Nonetheless, after giving Ye Tian a single look, the golden monkey lost interest.
"Does it think I'm too weak to warrant its attention?"
Ye Tian muttered to himself.
It made sense; on the surface, his cultivation level indicated that he had only refined one meridian, making him a mere Grandmaster. The golden monkey, lacking the ability to perceive his unique talents, naturally wouldn't pay attention to such a small fry.
"Let's head into Demon Sea base and find out what's going on," Ye Tian decided after observing the situation for a while.
Given the circumstances, it was unlikely that the beasts would turn around and attack the small Linhai Base. Even if they did, it would only happen after they had conquered Demon Sea base.
Therefore, staying at Linhai Base was a waste of time for Ye Tian; it would be better to investigate the situation at Demon Sea base, which undoubtedly had more information.
And so, Ye Tian flew toward Demon Sea base from another direction. Along the way, a few flying beasts attempted to intercept him, but they were swiftly slain by him.
Many of Demon Sea base's array gates were closed. However, after Ye Tian produced his identity card and array master badge, he was granted entry. A small array gate was temporarily opened to allow him inside.
Once inside, it was evident that the atmosphere at Demon Sea base had become quite somber, as many warriors were out fighting.
Ye Tian wasn't sure if Yue Ling was also fighting outside, but he attempted to contact her nonetheless.
"Ye Tian, you're back? Wait for me!"
This message came from Yue Ling via the communicator.
Not long after, Ye Tian was finally reunited with Yue Ling.
"Are you injured?"
Ye Tian had clearly noticed that Yue Ling's condition was far from ideal. Her complexion was somewhat pale, and one of her hands appeared weak, evidently due to a severe injury to her arm.
"Ah, I entered the battlefield once and suffered serious injuries. If it weren't for a top-notch master from my family coming to my rescue, I probably wouldn't have made it back. But I'm fortunate, because being injured gave me the chance to retreat back to the base," Yue Ling said with a bitter smile.
Then, she quickly asked, "How is the Linhai Base?"
Ye Tian responded truthfully, "A beast tide broke out there as well, but the beasts were not strong, so I took care of them!"
"You handled it!" Yue Ling was astonished.
She couldn't genuinely believe that a beast tide attacking a base would be weak. There would undoubtedly be a large number of top-tier beasts, perhaps even King Beasts. And yet, Ye Tian had resolved the issue. This level of capability was nothing short of incredible.
"By the way, how is my sister?"
Before leaving, Ye Tian had asked Yue Ling to take care of his sister and had even arranged for Yue Ling to return to her family home.
"Your sister is fine," Yue Ling said. "She's just an Elite Martial Warrior. Apart from a few older elites with little potential, all the other Elite Martial Warriors are still within the base. If she were a Great Martial Warrior, she would have been forced onto the battlefield!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his sister was fine, that was all that mattered; she was the only family he had in this world.
"What's the current situation with the war? Do you know the specifics?" Ye Tian asked again.
Yue Ling sighed, "It's complicated. This time, within a radius of a hundred thousand miles, three large bases were attacked. Each of these bases encountered massive beast attacks, and all three beast armies were led by an Invincible King Beast!"
"Invincible King Beast!"
Ye Tian thought about that golden monkey; it must be an Invincible King Beast. An Invincible King Beast was like a peak King-level human, practically unbeatable within their rank, with terrifying strength. Even very powerful King-level beings were like ants before them.
"Does the Demon Sea Base have a way to deal with that Invincible King?"
Ye Tian was uncertain if the Demon Sea Base had an Invincible King-level person. If not, that would be troublesome.
"No," Yue Ling shook her head. "Demon Sea Base currently doesn't have an Invincible King. There was one, from the Yun family, but he has gone to explore a super base. Right now, we're trying to contact him. However, the Yun family has activated something he left behind, releasing the aura of an Invincible King, which makes that Invincible King Beast outside the base hesitate, thinking there's one inside, so he hasn't taken any major action. Otherwise, I doubt our defensive arrays would hold for long!"
Ye Tian frowned. He hadn't expected the situation at the Demon Sea Base to be so dire; they were simply buying time.
Ye Tian was an array master, so he didn't need to fight for now. However, the moment the situation reached a crisis point, everyone, including 15-year-old warriors, would be forced onto the battlefield.
Soon, Ye Tian was summoned by the Array Masters Association to craft array disks for the warriors on the battlefield. Each disk crafted could help kill more beasts, making the tasks of array masters crucial.
Ye Tian's assignment was to craft 50 basic array disks per day. It wasn't much, and once done, he would have extra time to cultivate. While he could earn extra points from the Association for making more, he found them useless at the moment, especially as these low-level disks wouldn't change the overall situation. So, Ye Tian chose to spend his extra time cultivating.
The war continued.
Five days passed, and Ye Tian received no distress signals from Linhai Base, indicating it was safe for the time being.
"My current physical strength is equivalent to 13 elephants," Ye Tian murmured to himself. "Unfortunately, even with the pseudo-mystic power talent and the Green Wind Slash, this level of strength can only deal with some weaker King Beasts."
Just then, Yue Ling sent another urgent message.

[1] Idk why it says 186,300 kilometers. That seems a bit too far.
