Nine Astra Skies

~~

Naturally, Ling Yu saw the disdain in ye Chen's eyes. Usually, people would say that he was too ambitious. This was the first time he had been mocked for being too small-minded! He was about to go crazy. How was he being too narrow-minded? The structure of a country's ruler was still too small? Could it be that only by becoming a combat Emperor or a God servant would one be considered to have a big enough setup? That would require sufficient talent!

"If you're here to talk about cooperation, I can consider it." Ye chen smiled faintly.

"Cooperation? what do you have to talk to me about cooperation? It's just a few hundred million Shadow Gold, I don't care about it. " Ling Yu said angrily. He felt that ye chen did not know how to appreciate favors.

When ye chen had sold all the manors in this territory and gathered billions of Phantom Gold, Ling Yu could still consider it. However, it was only a slight consideration. It would not be easy for ye chen to earn billions of Phantom Gold in Yanyun sacred city. When it came to money, it was fast. In terms of income, Ling Yu far surpassed ye chen.

"Kid, our boss saw that you're a talent, so he pulled you in. Don't you dare be ungrateful!" Tianhai shenmi bared his teeth and shouted, but his solemn appearance and disdainful eyes did not match.

Ye chen glanced at Amami who was beside him.

Tianhai shenmi, my protective divine beast, third level Dao profound realm! Ling Yu sensed ye Chen's gaze and said proudly, " in the Zi Hua divine dynasty's auction house, the price of a Tianhai divine baby Beast is as high as twenty billion Twilight Gold!

When Ling Yu spoke, he would always talk about how much money it was. It was completely different from the free and easy look he had on his face. He himself was extremely worldly and Philistine. His pride was built on the money he had, and his goal was to have more money.

When he heard Ling Yu's words, Tianhai shenmi also looked rather pleased with himself, as if his worth of 20 billion Shadow Gold was something to be proud of.

it's just a mongrel Amami. ye chen did not care at all and sneered. a quarter of the Empyrean North sacred demon's bloodline!

"Brat, what did you say? you actually dare to insult my great Tianhai shenmi clan! I want to duel with you!" Tianhai shenmi raised his front hooves high and glared at ye chen in a frenzy. He hated it the most when people questioned his bloodline.

However, how did ye chen know that he had a quarter of the Empyrean North sacred demon's bloodline?

He couldn't help but feel dejected when he thought of his lecherous grandfather.

you must be jealous of me. There aren't many protective divine beasts like Tianhai shenmi in the entire Zi Hua divine dynasty. However, Ling Yu was not angry at all. Instead, he said rather arrogantly, " you will not understand the value of a Tianhai shenmi. People like you will never be able to have a protective divine beast in your entire lives.

The sense of superiority in Ling Yu's heart would not be easily crushed by others. He felt that he was a proud Son of Heaven. He had outstanding talent, status, money, and handsomeness. Wherever he went, he would attract the crazy screams of countless women. On the other hand, he would forever live in a cluster of flowers and splendor. He did not care to argue with a commoner like ye chen.

"Who said I don't have a divine beast to protect me?" Ye chen smiled faintly. Although Ling Yu was unscrupulous, narcissistic, and liked to show off his wealth, he was not that hateful. He was much better than Yi Yan and Xu Qing, who seemed to be gentlemen but were sinister and vicious on the inside.

"You also have a protective divine beast? Take it out and have a look. Do you know what a divine beast is? The divine beast has an ancient bloodline!" Ling Yu looked at ye chen in disbelief. Did ye chen think that any mystical beast or celestial beast could be called a divine beast?

Ye chen looked at Ling Yu for a moment and said seriously, " "If I summon my protective divine beast, can you guarantee that you won't leak the secret?"

"Alright, I won't tell anyone." Ling Yu found it a little funny. Ye chen looked so serious as if he really had an incredible protective divine beast.

On the side, Tianhai shenmi also pouted. No matter what kind of protective divine beast ye chen summoned, could it surpass him in terms of bloodline?

"Then I'll let you see my protective divine beast!" Ye chen revealed a mysterious smile. Master Lion, come out.

As soon as he finished speaking, the tattoo on ye Chen's back suddenly glowed brightly. A huge Lion flew out and landed beside ye chen. Its huge body was burning with purple flames.

"Roar!" Master Lion yawned, his eyes drowsy. He seemed to be a little disgruntled that someone had disturbed his good dreams. He narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze across Ling Yu and Amami.

Master Lion had only released a trace of his aura, but it had completely stunned Ling Yu and Tianhai shenmi. Ling Yu and Tianhai shenmi's eyes were wide like pigeon eggs as they glared at Master Lion.

Master lion's body was about two meters tall. His mane was fluffy, and he looked mighty and majestic. His entire body was burning with purple flames, giving off a powerful sense of oppression. As Dao profound realm experts, Ling Yu and Tianhai shenmi could sense that Master Lion was definitely a combat Emperor level existence just by sensing that aura!

A battle Emperor!

There were more than one hundred and thirty battle emperors on the entire continent. This number included all the battle emperors among humans, beasts, and celestial beasts.

Every single combat Emperor was an absolute existence on the Tian Yuan continent.

Even the monarch of Zi Hua divine dynasty was only at the tenth level Dao profound. To ascend to the throne, he also needed the support of a certain number of war emperors! In order to gain the support of the battle emperors, the monarch of Zi Hua divine dynasty had to offer a large number of items to the battle emperors every year.

However, there was another war Emperor in front of him!

Ling Yu felt as if he was in a dream. It was surreal. Ye chen actually had a war Emperor-rank protective divine beast! This battle-Emperor divine beast was actually willing to suppress his cultivation base to become ye Chen's protective divine beast?

Looking at Master lion's body that was burning with purple flames, Ling Yu's expression froze and his heart started beating faster. Could this Lion be the legendary purple-fire Astra Lion? The purple-fire Astra Lion Clan was one of the top ten divine beast clans. Although they were only ranked seventh, they were far from being comparable to a lesser divine beast like Amami!

A battle Emperor purple-fire Astra Lion as a protective divine beast, what kind of concept was that?

Beside him, Tianhai shenmi was also dumbfounded. He was so shocked that he was completely speechless. He could sense the purity of Master lion's bloodline. A mixed-breed divine beast like him was not even worthy of carrying Master lion's shoes. Even if he had the pure bloodline of Tianhai shenmi, it was completely incomparable to the bloodline of the purple-fire Astra Lion!

Ling Yu looked at Master Lion in a daze. He did not return to his senses for a long time. Suddenly, he thought of something and stared at ye chen."When you tested your Astral Soul Fusion previously, the result was 0? How was this possible? Even if the crystal can't detect your degree of fusion with your Astral Soul, it can still detect the degree of fusion with your protective divine beast!"

A purple-fire Astra Lion at the combat Emperor level should at least have an Astral Soul Fusion degree of fifty, right?

Ye chen shrugged and said indifferently, " "With a little trick, wouldn't the star soul crystals be unable to detect it?" In fact, ye chen himself did not know why the astral Soul crystal would detect that his Astral Soul Fusion rate was 0. He could only find a random excuse to brush Ling Yu off.

Could star soul crystals be cheated?

It made sense. For thousands of years, there had not been a single person with an Astral Soul Fusion rate of 0. However, ye Chen's test showed this result. It was obvious that someone had tampered with it. Oh my God! To be able to tamper with an Astral Soul crystal, what level of existence was this?

Why was ye chen still at the fourth level of the divine sea realm?

Ling Yu suddenly remembered that there were some legends of geniuses who could reincarnate in order to strengthen their cultivation. They could also suppress their own cultivation to strengthen their Foundation so that they could break through to higher realms. Could ye chen be such an existence?

She recalled how calm ye chen had been earlier, smiling and saying that she was too narrow-minded. Could ye chen be the true proud Son of Heaven, the hidden genius?

It was no wonder that ye chen did not even care about the position of King!

Ling Yu's heart thumped wildly. The way he looked at ye chen was completely different. Ye chen did not know that his casual words could make Ling Yu's mind fill in so much.

Lingyu's business nature made him realize that this was a great opportunity! If he could be on good terms with ye chen, he could at least be sure that he had the support of Master Lion, a combat Emperor! If he could get the support of a combat Emperor, it would be worth it no matter how much he had to pay!

Ling Yu shot a look at Tianhai shenmi, who was standing beside him. Tianhai shenmi understood and immediately put on a friendly smile. He walked over with a grin and laid down beside Master lion's feet like a docile little lamb.

"Hello, Master Lion. I'm thresh, from the Tianhai shenmi clan."

Master Lion raised his head and glanced at thresh by his feet. Then, he narrowed his eyes.

"Master Lion, your mane is so mighty and domineering!"

"The purple-fire Astra Lion Clan is the divine beast clan that I admire the most. In my opinion, the purple-fire Astra Lion Clan can at least be ranked in the top three among all the peak divine beast clans. Those people really have no taste."

Thresh was not discouraged by Master lion's lack of response. He continued to ramble and flatter Master Lion.

These words sent a chill down ye Chen's spine and he almost got goosebumps. This Amami did not even need to draft his words of flattery. He just opened his mouth and said it. Where was his usual sacred and solemn appearance?

"Brother ye chen, I really didn't recognize you before." Ling Yu laughed awkwardly. I really feel like I've hit it off with you at first sight today. Come, come, come, let's drink. I'll punish myself with three cups as an apology! Ling Yu decisively took out a jar of fine wine from his spatial ring, and a rich wine fragrance quickly spread out.

Master Lion, who was nearby, sniffed the wine's aroma.

The smart Ling Yu was naturally paying attention to Master lion's expression at all times. He quickly took out a few large bowls and filled them with wine.

"Thresh, quickly invite Master Lion over for a drink!" Ling Yu said, glaring at thresh.

"Master Lion, please!" Amami said obsequiously.

​ Master lion's front paw moved and he snatched the jar of wine from the table without any hesitation. Hugging the jar, he gulped down the entire jar in a few mouthfuls.

The corner of Ling Yu's mouth twitched slightly. This wine was brewed with Tianyu Saint fruit, and a jar like this was worth more than 60 million Shadow Gold!
