An hour later.
On Planet Kuila, in the Star Lord's Mansion.
Luo Tianyi took the little ones to rest, while Ye Xuan accompanied Kuila to the Imperial Vein, where powerful restrictions pulsed.
Ye Xuan's gaze sharpened.
With a flip of his right hand, the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear appeared, its body surging with potent lightning energy. Time and space forces were then interwoven into it, making it arguably Ye Xuan's strongest attack.
Under Zofi's astonished gaze, it slammed into the restriction of the Imperial Vein!
Boom~!!
A terrifying, earth-shattering sound echoed. The next moment, the blast wave dispersed, and the lightning receded.
Crack~
A crisp sound drew Kuila's attention. In the next instant, centered on the tip of the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear, spiderweb-like cracks spread, quickly covering the entire restriction.
Finally...
At a certain moment, the restriction was shattered by Ye Xuan!
Although this restriction was not at the Venerable realm, it was at least at the peak of the ninth-rank Great Emperor.
As the restriction dissipated, an unprecedented surge of Imperial Crystal energy washed over them.
"This is..."
Zofi stood frozen, "Such dense Imperial Crystal energy, Alliance Leader, this!?"
"500,000 High-grade Imperial Crystals, 1 million Mid-grade Imperial Crystals, amazing!!"
Seeing the scene before him, Ye Xuan couldn't help but be surprised. The ancestor Star Lord of Planet Kuila was no ordinary generous person.
"What!!!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Zofi gulped.
However, the moment the restriction dissipated, Zofi's aura, which was originally at the peak of the second-rank Great Emperor, directly advanced to the third-rank Great Emperor, and this was just the beginning.
Then...
Peak third-rank Great Emperor, fourth-rank Great Emperor, peak fourth-rank Great Emperor!!
Finally, he directly broke through to the fifth-rank Great Emperor. This sudden turn of events left Zofi completely stunned.
And it wasn't just that. Soon, Zofi realized something was wrong, "This is..."
"Planet Kuila has become a high-grade planet!!"
Indeed, Zofi's transformation was entirely due to the drastic changes on Planet Kuila.
"Could it be that the rumors are true!"
"Star Lord Kuila, he... suppressed the grade of Planet Kuila."
Hiss...
Thinking of this, Zofi gasped. To suppress a planet's grade by one's own power, what kind of might was that?
Thump~
Zofi immediately knelt on one knee, "Alliance Leader, thank you!!"
Zofi knew very well that if it weren't for the Alliance Leader breaking through the restriction set by Star Lord Kuila, he would only be at the peak of the second-rank Great Emperor, and would never have reached the fifth-rank Great Emperor. Such an opportunity would have taken him at least a hundred years of struggle, or even more!
"Alliance Leader, since Zofi has received this opportunity, please accept these Imperial Crystals."
Although Zofi's eyes were eager, he knew that for him, breaking through his realm was far more important than these Imperial Crystals.
Hearing Zofi's words, Ye Xuan smiled with satisfaction.
"This is the hope left by Star Lord Kuila for the rise of your Planet Kuila, it is not appropriate for me to take it all."
"How about this..."
Ye Xuan beckoned with his right hand, and the next moment, 300,000 High-grade Imperial Crystals were stored in his spatial ring. "I've already taken 300,000, which is a good deal. You can dispose of the rest and quickly strengthen Planet Kuila, so as not to fail Star Lord Kuila's painstaking efforts."
"As for the deeper restriction, I fear that even if I reach the Venerable realm, I might not be able to break it."
"Could it be that there are Super-grade Imperial Crystals inside!?"
Zofi was stunned, "Uh..."
"This, Alliance Leader, surely not."
Hearing this, Zofi pursed his lips. He had never even heard of Super-grade Imperial Crystals, and they hadn't appeared even in the Star River Empire.
"Who knows."
Ye Xuan glanced meaningfully at the distant restriction. "Since this matter is settled, let's go."
As his voice fell, the two left the Imperial Vein. As for the remaining 200,000 High-grade Imperial Crystals and 1 million Mid-grade Imperial Crystals, they were put away by Zofi.
"Wow, Daddy, look how beautiful that is~"
"Mhm, that tree is so tall, so tall~~"
"And that bird, it's super cute~~~"
The three little ones chirped excitedly like larks. Zofi looked at Ye Xuan's happy family and couldn't help but purse his lips. Who exactly was the Alliance Leader? He was clearly only at the peak of the eighth-rank Great Emperor, yet he could easily kill ninth-rank Great Emperors.
And at the moment the restriction was broken, that kind of attack, a peak ninth-rank Great Emperor might not have been able to withstand it.
For a moment, Zofi's admiration for Ye Xuan deepened!
Just like that, time passed quickly.
On Planet Kuila, especially during the sunset of the fiery clouds, the entire sky seemed to transform into a beautiful painting.
"Daddy, we want barbecue~"
"Mhm~~"
The three little ones looked at their Daddy expectantly. As a doting father, how could Ye Xuan refuse?
He then affectionately ruffled the heads of the three little ones, "Okay!"
And so...
Under Zofi's astonished gaze, Ye Xuan skillfully took out a barbecue grill, seasonings, and various fresh fatty fish and lamb from his spatial ring.
The dazzling array of seasonings and ingredients left Zofi dumbfounded. Was this really... the Alliance Leader who could easily kill ninth-rank Great Emperors?
However, he was soon drawn in by the alluring aroma of the barbecue.
"This smell... so fragrant!"
Gulp~
Unconsciously, Zofi swallowed, not because he was hungry, but because he had little resistance to the exquisite food before him.
"Alliance Leader, is... also an extraordinary chef!!"
Feng Chen and Mu Ling'er's eyes were now full of anticipation. Although Feng Chen had eaten the master's barbecue before, he was still unable to resist the temptation.
"Amu~"
Mu Ling'er bit down without regard for her image, "Wow!!"
"Master, you're amazing!!"
"It's super delicious~~~"
Mu Ling'er praised him generously. Hearing Sister Ling'er's words, the three little ones' faces were filled with happiness and joy, looking even happier than if they had been praised themselves.
"Hehe, right? My Daddy's barbecue is amazing!!"
The three little ones said proudly, while Ye Xuan affectionately ruffled their heads and tossed a fatty fish to Zofi, "Here, try it."
"This... Thank you, Alliance Leader!!"
Zofi had been craving it for a long time. He took a bite, and his eyes widened, "This texture... amazing!!"
"Zofi, there's still quite a bit of barbecue left here, anyone who sees it gets a share."
"Distribute it to your subordinates."
Ye Xuan had naturally noticed Zofi's subordinates nearby, drooling. He was very confident in his culinary skills.
Zofi was stunned, then looked at his subordinates, "Uh..."
"Ahem, thank you, Alliance Leader. You've seen our lack of refinement."
As for Zofi's subordinates nearby, upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, their eyes immediately lit up.
"Thank you, Alliance Leader, for your generosity!!"
A resounding voice echoed. Zofi's mouth twitched, and he mockingly scolded, "Go on, hurry up and eat. Look at you all, acting like you've never seen the world."
