Battle Axe Mercenary Hall.

The Battle Axe Emperor suddenly sensed that countless swords within the Battle Axe Mercenary Hall began to resonate. It’s normal for swords with owners to resonate, as it’s usually the owner controlling the sword.

But many of these swords had no owners and were even stored in the treasury, yet they began to resonate on their own.

“This is…”

The Battle Axe Emperor’s pupils constricted as he thought of a possibility—

“Innate Sword Body!”

The Innate Sword Body is very similar to the Innate Saber Body, with only minor differences. Both are extremely rare innate physiques, more powerful than ordinary innate attribute physiques.

If a swordsman cultivates an Innate Sword Body, their strength is much greater than that of a swordsman of the same level. The same is true for a swordsman who cultivates an Innate Sword Body.

It’s very difficult to cultivate an Innate Sword Body because there’s no good method.

For an Innate Fire Spirit Body, one can absorb fire Qi and gradually refine the physique, but for an Innate Sword Body, it’s much harder, as it’s difficult to absorb any sword Qi, which can’t be used for body refinement.

Gengjin Stone is one of the rare treasures that can refine the body and cultivate both Innate Sword Body and Innate Saber Body.

But the Battle Axe Emperor was unaware of such treasures.

“Who exactly has cultivated the Innate Sword Body?”

The Battle Axe Emperor wondered.

There weren’t many powerful swordsmen in Zhonghai Super Base, and even fewer at the emperor level.

“Lu Shi Dao Emperor?”

The Battle Axe Emperor first thought of him, but quickly dismissed the idea.

From his understanding of Lu Shi Dao Emperor, the latter wasn’t at the level to cultivate an Innate Sword Body yet.

Suddenly.

A name appeared in the mind of the Battle Axe Emperor.

“Ye Tian!”

Ye Tian was also a swordsman, and even more powerful than Lu Shi Dao Emperor, as Ye Tian’s sword technique talent was at the Morning Star level, having mastered the legendary-level sword technique, Star Slash.

“Could it really be Ye Tian?”

The Battle Axe Emperor’s divine sense traversed the void, approaching Tian Pavilion.

As he neared Tian Pavilion, strands of sword Qi spread out.

At the same time, he felt an overwhelmingly powerful force hidden within Tian Pavilion, mixed with a tremendous sword Dao aura, as if enveloping this space, creating a world of swords.

“It really is Ye Tian!”

The Battle Axe Emperor was now certain.

Soon.

The news of Ye Tian cultivating an Innate Sword Body spread.

And Empress Yue in the Moon God Temple was the first to know about Ye Tian’s success.

She had heard from Ye Tian about his goal to cultivate an Innate Sword Body, so seeing the swords of Moon God Sect resonate, she knew her husband had succeeded.

Therefore, she came to Tian Pavilion immediately and waited outside the cultivation chamber, not wanting to disturb Ye Tian.

After a while, Ye Tian’s voice came from inside.

“Yue’er, come in!”

Click!

The array opened, and Yue’er walked in.

“Lord Husband, congratulations on cultivating the Innate Sword Body!” Yue’er happily congratulated Ye Tian.

Ye Tian embraced Empress Yue in his arms, affectionately saying, “Then should we celebrate?”

“Sure!”

Empress Yue replied subconsciously.

“How should we celebrate? How about we…”

Ye Tian showed a mischievous smile.

Seeing this smile, Empress Yue instantly understood Ye Tian’s intention and her face turned red.

“It’s not convenient here, let’s… go back!”

Empress Yue said shyly, her face blushing.

“I think here is just fine!”

Ye Tian activated the array, securing the cultivation chamber, making it safer than any place in Zhonghai Super Base.

Several hours later.

Empress Yue left Tian Pavilion with a flushed face, returning to the Moon God Sect.

Unless she was cultivating with Ye Tian, she would usually be stationed at the Moon God Sect.

In the cultivation chamber.

A content Ye Tian began to examine his newly formed Innate Sword Body.

After some testing, he found that the Innate Sword Body boosted his sword techniques by a factor of 1.5. This increase might seem modest, but it was actually significant.

For example, if his sword technique’s effectiveness was 10, with the Innate Sword Body, it would be 15.

Crucially, the enhancement from the sword technique could be stacked with his strength talent, meaning the Innate Sword Body could amplify his strongest attacks, a feat unmatched by other innate attribute bodies.

Additionally, Ye Tian discovered that the Innate Sword Body also provided a certain level of defensive enhancement.

Clearly, the Innate Sword Body was truly extraordinary!

“My strength should now be enough to match a weaker Seven-Star Emperor level!” Ye Tian estimated.

With this, he had truly entered the ranks of Earth’s pinnacle.

Even relying on his Time and Space Talents, he was a formidable opponent among the Seven-Star Emperors.

Of course, compared to the top Seven-Star Emperors, Ye Tian still had a long way to go. His Time and Space Talents might not even be enough to counter the top Seven-Star Emperors.

And who’s to say there aren’t Eight-Star or Nine-Star Emperors in the Tianfu Super Base?

Others could be hiding their strength just like he was.

Until he became sufficiently powerful, he needed to keep a low profile.

However, if someone provoked him, there would be no need for subtlety.

But in Zhonghai Super Base, no one dared to provoke him yet!

Comprehending the Sword Dao realm, the Claw Dao realm, cultivating sword techniques, cultivating claw techniques…

Ye Tian was extremely busy. Even with 20 times enhanced understanding and ten times time acceleration, he still felt short on time.

With no significant threats in Zhonghai Super Base, he could focus on his cultivation.

Unless something major happened, Ye Tian rarely left seclusion, except for occasional outings with Empress Yue.

Meanwhile, during Ye Tian’s seclusion, some changes occurred in the beast world near Zhonghai Super Base.

…

Dragon Palace!

In the teleportation hall.

A humanoid creature emerged from the teleportation array.

He resembled a human but had two dragon horns on his forehead and wore a dragon robe.

His aura was similar to that of a dragon, indicating his identity as a member of the Dragon Race!

Once a member of the Dragon Race became a deity, they gained the ability to transform their shape, and most chose a human form, as it was more suitable for combat and interacting with other races.

After stepping out of the teleportation array, this Dragon Race member scanned the area with his divine sense and frowned: “The Dragon Palace was opened ahead of schedule, and many beasts entered the legacy hall. Hmph, they probably took away many treasures. I wonder why our ancestors chose to wait here for 150 years until their lifespans ran out, even forbidding members of our race from entering the legacy hall. Could it be as the elders said, that Qingtan True God had a poor relationship with many high-ranking members of our race, leading to such restrictions?”

Unable to figure it out, he stopped pondering it.

Whoosh!

He stepped out of the Dragon Palace, his divine sense sweeping across tens of millions of miles.

Boom!!!

He scanned countless beasts but found no Beast Overlords.

The Dragon Race powerhouse crossed seas and explored numerous mountain ranges, searching many places but sensing neither a Beast Overlord nor any beast with Dawn-level bloodline talents.

“Something has indeed happened! To the Holy Dragon Tree!”

Transforming into a streak of light, he quickly arrived at the Holy Dragon Tree.

Seeing the intact Holy Dragon Tree, the Dragon Race member sighed in relief.

This tree was more precious than the entire beast world. If not for the Dragon Race’s powerhouses wanting to use this world to cultivate the Supreme Bloodline Talent’s Holy Dragon Fruits, they wouldn’t have placed such a precious item here.

Although the Holy Dragon Tree was integrated with the beast world and difficult to extract even by deities, there was still fear of it being seized by beings surpassing deities.

“The Holy Dragon Fruits have been taken by the beasts, but I haven’t detected any beast with Dawn-level bloodline talent using our clan’s secret techniques. Could it be that the nine Beast Overlords have become deity-level beasts and escaped into space?”

“No, that can’t be. If deity-level beasts emerged, our Dragon Race would sense it immediately. There must be another change, but what exactly happened?”

The Dragon Race member was puzzled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Why not ask the beasts of this world? They should provide some information!”
