438: Angel's Mission

“I was discovered, some things.” Lin Ye’s expression changed slightly, and he was secretly surprised.

He didn’t expect his whereabouts to be noticed so quickly.

Just then, a mysterious stellar guardian suddenly appeared around Lin Ye’s body.

This guardian light was brilliant, as vast and boundless as the starry sky.

It quickly unfurled, forming an indestructible shield that blocked the roots.

However, those roots seemed unwilling to give up, surging in continuously like a tide, attempting to break through the stellar guardian’s defenses.

Gradually, the roots tightly wrapped Lin Ye, forming a huge wooden ball.

“Explode!” Lin Ye shouted, and the wooden ball instantly exploded from the inside out.

The powerful impact blasted the roots in all directions, but this small loss was negligible for the divine tree, not even a pinprick-sized wound.

Immediately after, more roots, like a surging torrent, continued to rush towards Lin Ye.

Facing such a troublesome opponent, Lin Ye had no intention of getting entangled with the roots.

He flickered, nimbly avoiding the roots’ attacks, and with a few flashes, he arrived in front of a huge wooden ball.

This wooden ball occupied a vast space, and the entire divine tree was entrenched here.

“Boom!”

Lin Ye’s Dragon Claw extended, piercing through layers of obstruction, but ultimately failed to break through.

The opponent’s defense was too strong, and this was the core, so breaking it was not easy.

However, Lin Ye did not expect to succeed in one go.

After several attacks, a huge opening was finally made in the divine tree’s core, bringing him very close to the Life core.

However, just then, the endless roots surged in like a tide.

They frantically coiled around Lin Ye.

Some of the roots tried to protect the core.

Lin Ye quickly split into four clones, and the four clones formed a huge semicircular shield, completely covering himself and the divine tree’s core.

The roots continuously lashed at the shield, but to no avail.

By the time the shield dissipated, Lin Ye had already transformed into a phantom and departed far away.

Only a half-crippled divine tree core, stripped of its Life core, remained.

The divine tree twisted frantically, its branches, roots, and the creatures dwelling on it all falling into a frenzy.

“What’s going on? Why did this divine tree suddenly go mad?”

One angel was puzzled.

They struggled to resist the divine tree’s furious attacks.

“This intensity of attack is very abnormal. Haven’t you noticed that while the divine tree’s attacks seem much stronger, its energy level has decreased?” another angel explained.

“Could it be?” Combining the current situation, they had a guess.

Since the target had disappeared, there was naturally no need to continue fighting.

The two angels retreated while fighting.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

When the demon saw the angels retreating, although he didn’t know what had happened, he felt there was no need to directly confront the divine tree, so he also gradually withdrew.

After the two angels withdrew, they were very puzzled as to who had taken the Life core right under their noses.

“Let me do it.”

One angel began to rewind time.

This ability was rare among Sovereigns; she hadn’t expected an angel proficient in the Law of Light to also cultivate the Law of Time.

“Found it.”

In the time the angel rewound, a blurry figure was still revealed under their careful search.

“This is truly hateful. We fought tooth and nail, and he just reaped the benefits. Quickly, see who it is.”

The angel performing the time rewind focused on the figure.

But that figure seemed to break free from the rewind, looked at them, and with a burst of power, shattered the time rewind.

“Pfft.”

The angel spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Lilian, what’s wrong?” The other angel asked with great concern.

“I’m fine, Jenny.” Lilian replied.

“I didn’t expect that person to be an expert in the path of time. He actually sensed my prying, traveled through time, and taught me a lesson.” Lilian said with a bitter smile.

“Then let’s just forget about it and go find opportunities elsewhere.” Jenny said.

Lilian, however, shook her head.

“Do you still remember the task sister gave us?”

“Of course, I remember, but wasn’t that task to be completed only when that young man reached a certain level?”

“That figure just now was exactly the same as the sample sister gave us.”

“What? He’s already that high-level.” Jenny couldn’t believe it.

That was an existence capable of harming Lilian through time, at least a Sovereign Seven-star.

Didn’t sister say that young man was only a Sovereign Five-star?

........

“I was discovered. It seems I can’t underestimate the heroes of the world.” Lin Ye said with some emotion.

Someone could actually discover his figure through time rewind.

But luckily, his own temporal abilities weren’t weak, so the other party shouldn’t have gained much useful information.

“In the future, I must be careful to conceal my tracks. There are countless Laws and endless methods; who dares to say it’s foolproof? I must be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious.”

This served as a reminder to Lin Ye.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

Lin Ye took out the Life core.

The Life core, no bigger than a palm, contained an enormous amount of energy.

This Life core was nurtured by the divine tree, combined with the Earth Qi of Ten Thousand Mountain Ridges, making it perfectly suitable as the core for a two-star divine artifact.

“At least a hundred thousand void stones. Even a Sovereign Seven or Eight-star expert would need to accumulate for decades to afford it.” Lake said.

“A good start! One hundred thousand today, one hundred thousand tomorrow. A million void stones doesn’t seem so hard to gather anymore.” Lin Ye said happily.

“This is the beauty of the Battlefield of the Gods. Chaos nurtures all things, and there are too many treasures within it.”

“Divide the forces, we must divide the forces.” Lin Ye decided immediately.

He hadn’t planned to send his clones to various places to acquire resources just now.

After all, a clone’s strength would drastically decrease once it left the divine kingdom’s amplification.

Lin Ye’s current combat power was at the Sovereign Seven-star level, but without the divine kingdom’s amplification, it might only be at the Sovereign Six-star level.

A Sovereign Six-star combat power would find it too difficult to snatch treasures when facing experts from all sides.

But after this incident, he realized that there was no need to fight; many things could be obtained without brute force.

Eight perfect-grade clones were dispatched to various locations.

They all possessed combat power similar to Lin Ye’s, and even without the divine kingdom’s amplification, they were at least equivalent to Sovereign Six-star experts.

The clones all possessed the Destiny Law, allowing them to find the best opportunities, so there was no need to worry about treasure hunting.

“My main body will remain in the center. If any clone finds something tricky, I’ll go support them.” Lin Ye’s main body no longer moved.

His presence wouldn’t significantly increase the efficiency of treasure hunting.

However, with him as backup, if the clones encountered valuable treasures that were difficult to obtain and called for his assistance, it could increase the success rate.

With this series of operations, the efficiency of acquiring treasures indeed increased significantly.
