The Tree of World travelled across the starry sky with Ye Xuan and Ming Yu toward the Dark Captive Planet.
The Tree of World could travel thirty million miles at one go. That was freaking fast.
However, Ye Xuan was too far away from the Dark Captive Planet.
One was in the east of the Ancient Nether Planet, and the other was in its west.
As a result, although Ming Yu used his power to travel by transmission formation several times, they did not reach the vicinity of the Dark Captive Planet until a few days later.
Standing in the air, Ye Xuan saw endless black clouds surging out of the Dark Captive Planet, which was much bigger than the Cerulean Planet. The clouds whooshed across the air like wind and transformed into all kinds of dreadful images.
“Lord, this is the Dark Captive Planet!”
Ming Yu introduced to Ye Xuan, “The Dark Captive Planet is a very special place. It has many hidden demonic caves like prisons on it. Those caves are independent of each other and have numerous creatures living in there.”
“It’s said to be a mysterious planet formed at the birth of the Heavenly Universe. In ancient times, an ape demon nested there and left its inheritance.”
“But it is very dangerous on the Dark Captive Planet. It has a natural formation. Even the Lord of the Ancient Nether can’t go deep into it. He has been interested in this place for a long time, but he only managed to use some special way to weaken the natural formation on the Dark Captive Planet. That is all he did.”
“Mysterious changes have been happening here since the merge of the imperial world a thousand years ago. The merge sabotaged the whole plan of the Lord of the Ancient Nether. Since then, one of my responsibilities has been monitoring the Dark Captive Planet for any new changes on it.”
Ye Xuan’s eyes shone with curiosity.
He was mainly a Beast Tamer.
But apparently, before the merge of the imperial world, the Warrior Path was dominant in the universe where he was.
That ape demon that once occupied this place probably cultivated the Warrior Path, too.
Ye Xuan wondered whether the ape demon’s inheritance would be useful for him.
Even if it was useless, as long as it could bring him more Luck Points, this trip would be worthwhile.
Of course.
His main purpose here was to deal with the Lord of Ancient Nether.
He would try to use the Seal Beast to enslave that lord.
If he could succeed, he would gain a lot of benefits.
After all, the Lord of the Ancient Nether was an Emperor-level Beast Tamer and an emperor of an empire in the starry sky that dominated the Ancient Nether Galaxy.
Even Ye Xuan was not sure how many Luck Points he could get from that lord.
But at least they would be enough for the Golden Dragon of Luck to achieve the Emperor level.
Maybe he could even make another beast of his achieve the Emperor level.
“Well, I’ll be based here then.”
Ye Xuan said to Ming Yu, “Bring the Lord of the Ancient Nether here as soon as possible after you go back.”
“Yes!”
Ming Yu bowed to Ye Xuan and then left. He headed for the Ancient Nether Planet, the centre of the Ancient Nether Empire.
“The Dark Captive Planet.”
When Ming Yu had left, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness and focused on the Tidal Treasure Snail in its Beast Lair.
He observed that mysterious planet through its Real-Time Map.
The Tidal Treasure Snail was on the peak Starlight level.
Its Real-Time Map could reach five hundred billion miles away in a second.
And it was also very skilled in detecting hidden spaces.
Therefore, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness and did a thorough investigation of the ancient planet that the Lord of the Ancient Nether had spent so much time on but failed to understand.
Ye Xuan learned everything about the planet: the underground caves, the creatures living in the caves, and a mysterious creature lying at the core of the Dark Captive Planet, where numerous caves met. That creature should be dead, but it was giving off a weird yet powerful vibe as if it was coming back to life.
“Is that the ape demon that Ming Yu mentioned?”
Ye Xuan focused his consciousness on the dreadful body at the core of the Dark Captive Planet.
With three heads and six arms, it looked like an ancient ape of the starry sky.
Next to it, there was a mysterious golden stick that seemed to have come from outer space and pierced into the ground of the Dark Captive Planet until it reached the dead body of the ape.
Not far away from the body of the ancient ape, a mysterious sapling was growing. The sapling had a weird fruit on it.
The colour of the fruit kept changing.
Ye Xuan took a close look at it and found it had seventy-two colours.
“What is that?”
Ye Xuan was shocked. He felt the Dark Captive Planet was mysterious indeed.
“Ming Yu said the Dark Captive Planet had been merged with a relic from the imperial world. Is that stick piercing into the core of the Dark Captive Planet the relic of the imperial world?”
Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up.
He sensed clearly through the Tidal Treasure Snail that the giant golden stick had come from outside the Dark Captive Planet.
It did not belong to the Dark Captive Planet.
Ye Xuan felt the Dark Captive Planet was wonderful indeed. That stick was especially mysterious. If he could get it, he supposed he would get a lot of Luck Points.
However, despite that, he did not act recklessly.
Because he vaguely felt pressured by the ancient ape with three heads and six arms lying at the core of the planet that seemed to be somewhere in the middle of life and death.
He was on the Starlight level, but he was actually stronger than most Emperor-level Beast Tamers.
But he still felt so pressured by the ancient ape with three heads and six arms. If it really came back to life, he was sure it must be formidable.
“I ran into such a powerful thing as soon as I left the Galaxy. What a surprise!”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
He decided to think about this planet when he brought all of the thirteen Emperor-level forces in the Tianyuan Star Zone under his control and became stronger.
…
“An unusual thing happened on the Dark Captive Planet? The natural formation there is being greatly weakened?”
Ming Yu went back to the Ancient Nether Planet as soon as he parted with Ye Xuan. He went to see the Lord of the Ancient Nether upon his arrival.
The Lord of the Ancient Nether’s eyes were shining with excitement after learning the news.
Only on the intermediate Emperor level, the Lord of the Ancient Nether was not one of the strongest among the thirteen lords of the Tianyuan Star Zone.
However, with the presence of Divine Sovereign Starbright in the Tianyuan Star Zone, it had been in a stable situation. As a result, the Ancient Nether Empire had never got involved in any big war against other forces in the past one thousand years.
But currently, since Divine Sovereign Starbright had disappeared, the Lord of the Ancient Nether felt quite uneasy. He was eager to grow stronger.
And he might find what could help him grow strong on the Dark Captive Planet, the place he had been coveting for a long time.
“Good job!”
The Lord of the Ancient Nether said after a brief silence, “It’s urgent. Now that the situation on the Dark Captive Planet has changed, I will go and take a look!”
