<h4>Chapter 345 - Purple Sun Gold-Bug, Purple Treasure C.h.e.s.t</h4>


    "I wonder how strong these bugs are."


    Ye Xuan observed these bugs from afar through the Tidal Treasure Snail’s real-time mini-map and wondered.


    He could sense each bug’s level through the real-time mini-map.


    But it could not help him interpret the strength of the collective horde.


    Unless he got closer to these bugs and used the beast editor.


    "Let’s see."


    He thought with curiosity


    andmanded the Tree of World to take him forward for some distance.


    They stopped on the peak of a steep mountain.


    Standing from there, Ye Xuan surveyed the scene.


    He immediately looked deep into the valley and saw the dense horde of gold bugs that writhed and swarmed like a golden sea.


    It was a horrifying scene.


    If a man with ustrophobia was here, he would probably feel disgusted to death by the scene.


    Horde Grade: two stars


    Horde Level: peak master level


    Ability 1:Purple Sr re


    Under themand of a King Purple Sun Gold-Bug, therge horde of purple sun gold-bugs gather together to unleash a potent purple sr re attack upon the enemy.


    Ability 2: Collective Resistance


    Upon receiving an attack, the damage will be distributed evenly among the horde.


    Ability 3: Devouring Gold Armor


    The purple sun gold bug utilizes its golden shell to absorb energy attacks up to a threshold.


    Ultimate Evolution Path: Ancient Purple Sun Gold-Bug (mythic level three stars)


    (Note 2: If captured to make one’s own beast, the beastir could greatly increase the horde’s speed of reproduction) ]


    In an instant, Ye Xuan had finished analyzing the qualities of this horde of purple sun gold bugs.


    Two stars horde grade?


    Peak master level?


    After seeing this information, Ye Xuan thought to himself.


    He never thought a horde of purple sun gold-bugs potential could allow it to evolve to master level.


    Furthermore, its ultimate evolution path, the ancient purple sun gold bug, was a mythic level three stars grade monster.


    Mythic level three stars was not bad at all.


    Most of the monsters Ye Xuan encountered to this point only had one-star potential.


    "Pity."


    Ye Xuan shook his head.


    Even though this horde of purple sun gold bugs had decent potential, they were of little use to him.


    They definitely did not qualify to be his beast.


    "But this kind of horde-type beasts really aren’t too shabby. If the opportunity presents itself in the future, I wouldn’t mind agreeing with a horde that has the potential to reach an ultimate evolutionary path of mythic level five stars beast grade."


    Ye Xuan thought to himself.


    "Chime!"


    "Roar!"


    "Bang!"


    "Screech!"


    Just as he concluded his thoughts, Ye Xuan summoned the beast clones of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and ck Tortoise.


    He quickly summoned them before reaching the next valley.


    "God’s Aid!"


    The moment the four clones came out, Ye Xuan began channeling God’s Aid.


    With God’s aid, the beast clones’ power could elevate by thirty percent.


    Ye Xuan had been using this technique before every previous fight the four beasts fought.


    After the four came out, they immediately let out a roar and began mustering the Mark of the Four Sacred engraved golden globe.


    Carrying the blistering heat energy of a mini golden sun, the golden globe rotated at a feverish pace as it fell through the sky


    obliterating towards therge horde of purple sun gold bugs in the valley below.


    In the valley below, each purple sun gold bug disyed an astonishing level of reaction and sensitivity.


    As soon as the four sacred beast clones appeared, the king purple sun gold bugmanded the horde to the sky and formed a shing wall of gold.


    The scene resembled the dashing cosmos in a gilded sky.


    Buzz!


    Buzz!


    Buzz!


    Then, just as the four sacred heavenly was about to its divine fury, beams of purple gold mes emanated from the bodies of the purple sun gold-bugs.


    The purple-gold mes congealed together and unleashed into a blistering torrent that shot up to the skies towards the golden globe that twas the Four Sacred Heavenly Strike.


    Rumble!


    The power of the Four Sacred Heavenly Strike was otherworldly.


    The moment it shed with the Purple Sr re, its overpowering obliteration was merely slowed down a notch.


    Then it continued to bring down destruction.


    Rumble!


    But the Purple Sr re unleashed by the purple sun gold bugs seemed endless.


    Waves after waves of blistering inferno rushed forth to meet the golden globe.


    Like a flood that drowned out the heavens.


    This led the cascading Four Sacred Heavenly Strike to be slowed down further as if it was moving against the current.


    "So this is the power of master-level beasts?"


    Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan was slightly astonished.


    When he summoned the clones of the four sacred beasts a moment ago, he had immediately used the God’s Aid buff on them.


    But now it seemed like God’s Aid alone would not be enough for the four sacred beasts to defeat the purple sun gold bugs, even if they worked together.


    There clearly existed a huge power gap between peak master level and low master level.


    This would be nowhere as easy as dealing with that Seven-colored Dragon Tail Bat from earlier.


    "Chime!"


    "Roar!"


    "Bang!"


    "Screech!"


    Just as he thought, he summoned from his beastir the real, cultivating four sacred beasts themselves. They appeared above the horde of purple sun gold bugs.


    As they made their entrance, they unleashed their perspective cries and began mustering another Four Sacred Heavenly Strike.


    In that instant, the sky shed gold.


    A golden cosmic globe formed in an instant and fell from a height above the clouds.


    "Buzz buzz..."


    Below, sensing the direness of the situation, the king purple sun gold-bug urgentlymanded a portion of the purple sun gold-bugs to unleash purple sr re and block the iing attack.


    "Rumble!"


    The horde had to muster all their energy just to block one attack from the clones of the four sacred beasts.


    So partitioning a portion of their power now would not be any help to their situation.


    As the golden globe of the Four Sacred Heavenly Strike brought down its obliterating might, the purple sr re released by the horde was vanquished in an instant.


    As the Four Sacred Heavenly Strike continued to fall, it finally fell upon the horde of purple sun gold bugs with a deafening rumble.


    Rumble rumble!


    A golden light shed across the purple sun gold-bug horde and linked together. The damage from the Four Sacred Heavenly Strike was quickly dispersed amongst the entire horde.


    The energy from the attack was being absorbed as well.


    For the horde, the repercussion of this blow was the death of several tens of thousands of apprentice-level purple sun gold bugs.


    To such a massive horde, the lives of several tens of thousands of apprentice-level purple sun gold bugs were barely anything.


    Rumble!


    Then, just as the king purple sun gold-bug thought they had sessfully repelled the attack of the four sacred beasts, the Four Sacred Heavenly Strike they had blocked exploded.


    In an instant, the Might of the Four Sacred was unleashed, devouring everything in its obliteration and causing a huge chasm in the purple gold sun-bugs horde’s formation.


    Countless purple sun gold bugs were blown away by the explosion.


    A hundred thousand... two hundred thousand... three hundred thousand...


    In just one strike, the entire purple sun gold-bug horde suffered more than three hundred thousand casualties.


    Three hundred thousand some purple sun gold-bugs was a considerable portion of the entire horde’s poption.


    As this many of them died in an instant, the horde’s power was drastically weakened.


    Swoosh!


    After that strike, the Vermillion Bird pped its wings in the sky and unleashed beams of South Ming Li Fire unto the purple sun gold-bug horde.


    The Azure Dragon let out a long-winded chime and blew out verdant energy filled a dragon breath towards the horde.


    That verdant energy dragon breath was supposed to be full of life energy.


    But under the Azure Dragon’smand, this life energy became violent enough to be a lethal weapon.


    "Roar!"


    The White Tiger let out a roar and formed a golden crescent energy de couple of hundreds of meters long.


    The golden crescent energy de was as sharp as it was swift.


    A swing from it felt like it could slice open the sky and apart from the clouds. It immediately fell upon the purple sun gold-bug horde and unleashed waves after waves of unrelenting attacks on them.


    Lastly, the ck Tortoise craned its neck backward and spewed out its ck Nether Dark Water. The torrent created a massive flood that cascaded towards the horde.


    The ck Tortoise’s Innate ck Nether Dark Water could take on many forms. It could freeze the enemy to the ice with its sheer cold, or it could also erode the enemy’s flesh with its incredible acidity.


    Four hundred thousand... five hundred thousand... six hundred thousand...


    Then, as they unleashed their attacks together, the entire purple sun gold-bugs poption was beginning to get absolutely decimated.


    As their numbers reduced, their powers shrank considerably


    and the rate of deaths increased.


    Rumble!


    At that moment, as more and more of the horde was dying, the other Four Sacred Heavenly Strike also exploded.


    With that explosion, the shield of purple sr re dispersed without a trace.


    Then, the clones of the Four Sacred Beasts rushed forth and started massacring the entire purple sun gold-bug horde.


    They joined with their real selves.


    The four sacred beasts had undergone abo edit, so as they worked together now their powers were greatly increased.


    Adding on top of that was Ye Xuan’s God’s Aid buff.


    So really, eight sacred beasts were working in tandem in the battle.


    In an instant, anotherrge portion of the purple gold sun-bugs perished.


    [Purple Gold Sun-Bug:


    Horde Level: high master level]


    As the purple gold sun-bugs decreased in number, Ye Xuan performed another analysis on their power level.


    The level of the entire horde had fallen from peak master level to high master level.


    It probably would not be long before they fall to mid master level or even low master level.


    "It’s over."


    Seeing this, Ye Xuan let out a sigh of relief.


    These purple gold sun-bugs were quite difficult to deal with.


    If it was not for his copying talents, he probably would have had to use the Aiding Seed.


    And even with the Aiding Seed, a swift victory would not be guaranteed.


    He probably would have had to use the Gate of Evolution.


    Thinking this, Ye Xuan shook his head.


    He still owned too few trump cards.


    Only these couple of tricks up his sleeve.


    Rumble!


    As he was in his thought, twenty or thirty-some seconds had passed and all of the purple sun gold bugs in the valley had perished.


    All that was left was a massive crater.


    "Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo...."


    Ye Xuan withdrew all of his beasts back to the beastir, not beforemanding the Azure Dragon to retrieve the purple treasure c.h.e.s.t from the valley.


    "I wonder what awaits me in the purple treasure c.h.e.s.t."


    A tinge of anticipation shed across Ye Xuan’s eyes as he levitated the purple treasure c.h.e.s.t before him. It was carved with simple ancient markings. With two crackles, Ye Xuan opened it.


    Shoo!


    In an instant, as the Ye Xuan opened the purple treasure c.h.e.s.t,


    a beam of purple light shed before his eyes.
