Chapter 51: The Ancient Demonic Ape

A colossal shadow slanted down, shrouding Fengyun Wuji entirely. Startled, Fengyun Wuji’s eyes widened, for a moment suspecting he had returned to the Demon Realm.

Ahead, not far off, an Ancient Demonic Ape, thousands of zhang tall, was brandishing a mountain as if it were a club, striking about with one hand while clapping its hairy chest with the other, howling loudly. Around it, at least tens of thousands of figures dressed in various attires were distinctly divided, flying around the ape, launching occasional attacks.

The Ancient Demonic Ape was extremely fierce, its finely serrated and slightly curved tusks exposed, gleaming coldly. The mountain in its hand whistled through the air; such purely physical attacks were not to be taken lightly, even by the rulers of the four realms. Thus, although there were tens of thousands of ancient masters surrounding it in shifts, no internal strife had broken out for the moment.

This Ancient Demonic Ape was originally a divine beast of the ancient era, ranking far above common beasts. The one currently surrounded by the crowd had quite a background. Let me explain: in the entire human world, there are no gods, but there exists a special kind of creature known as divine beasts, named so because they possess ‘divinity’.

The ‘divinity’ of these divine beasts is extremely lowly, considered the ‘lowest’ among all divine statuses, but it is extremely rare in the human world where gods do not exist. Take this Ancient Demonic Ape’s ‘divinity’, for instance; it is innate, passed down through generations, and has the wondrous ability to draw the power of the celestial stars for its use. Although this ‘divinity’ barely represents the divine aspect, at most it’s an extremely powerful and nearly indestructible state, but the ability to forcefully channel ‘the power of the heavens and stars’ through its body is coveted by many ancient masters.

This Ancient Demonic Ape was born hundreds of millions of years ago, its true body hidden in the wilderness of the earth’s veins, transformed into a mountain, covered by vegetation, and had been in a deep slumber, absorbing the energy of the earth’s veins by instinct. However, it was recently awakened when an ancient master accidentally broke the mountains and rivers covering it. The ancient master, a free spirit, was delighted to see a clearly immature Ancient Demonic Ape emerging from the collapsed landscape, but knowing he was no match for such a divine beast born with divine strength, he retreated. Later, somehow the news leaked, attracting the Blade Domain, the Demon Realm, and even the witch clan from Jiuyi Mountain, all sending their masters to kill this immature ‘Ancient Demonic Ape’ and seize the divine beast’s ‘divinity’.

The Ancient Demonic Ape pounded its chest with a sound like thunder rolling from above. Naturally thick-skinned and robust, it felt only pain but no injury from the attacks of so many people, which also aroused its ferocity. Roaring in anger, it swung the huge mountain in its hand vigorously, and wherever the gale swept, nothing was left intact, with numerous large pits covering the ground around it.

Compared to this ape, humans were as small as ants. The Blade Domain’s tens of thousands of warriors’ mighty blade energy continuously attacked the beast, making a clattering sound but leaving no mark. Even Fengyun Wuji, seeing the formidable nature of the Ancient Demonic Ape, couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

The Ancient Demonic Ape, finally provoked into rage, let out a long roar, and the dozens of ancient masters in front of it were immediately swept away by the wave of air, their chests collapsed, screaming as they were thrown away like broken kites, their bodies buried in the ground by the powerful impact.

Another roar, and the Ancient Demonic Ape flung the huge mountain in its hand towards the row of Blade Domain warriors who were making long-range attacks. The mountain, with a momentum like overwhelming mountains and seas, smashed towards the tens of thousands of Blade Domain warriors. The mountain itself was not terrifying, but what was terrifying was the tyrannical brute force contained within the mountain. Therefore, although the Blade Domain warriors could break the mountain with their blade energy, they did not dare to stay in place and one by one leaped into the air.

Boom!

The mountain slammed into the ground, creating a huge pit, and even Fengyun Wuji, from afar, felt the astonishing wave of air. The Ancient Demonic Ape threw out a mountain, reached out, and forcibly pulled out another mountain, swung it a few times in the air, and then threw it at the ancient masters hovering in the air. After throwing one out, it strode forward, grabbed another mountain, and threw it out again. The mountain was huge, and with the Ancient Demonic Ape’s throw, the attack area was frighteningly large. For a while, no one dared to approach within a thousand meters of the ape, and they were all chased and beaten by the Ancient Demonic Ape.

“This beast is so powerful!” Fengyun Wuji looked on from a distance and couldn’t help but sigh, seeing so many people around to help. As soon as Fengyun Wuji saw this beast, he thought of the flat-haired bird in the Demon Realm, and for no reason, he felt a burst of anger. Immediately, his figure shrank, and he shot over.

Facing such a divine beast that is almost immune to physical attacks, general attacks are almost useless. Therefore, as soon as Fengyun Wuji came up, he immediately used the most powerful ‘Sky Sword’.

He raised his right hand high above his head, standing in the void, his face solemn, that strange feeling surged up again, the state that seemed to control something but seemed not to control it was very difficult to describe.

Crash!

Suddenly a white flash of lightning cut through the dark clouds, and then Fengyun Wuji waved his right hand, and the Sky Sword was released!

“Sky Sword!”

This indifferent voice contained supreme majesty, and almost as soon as it came, it attracted the attention of all parties.

“!! He, it’s actually him!”

“He’s not dead after all!”

“How could it be?! How could he have escaped!!”

…

The people of the Blade Domain almost recognized him at first glance. For this sword master, their impression was too deep, and they couldn’t help but exclaim.

In the eyes of everyone, Fengyun Wuji’s raised right hand slowly swung down, not fast or slow. The Ancient Demonic Ape was chasing a group of Demon Realm warriors, suddenly feeling something, suddenly turned around, and stared at Fengyun Wuji’s right hand that was falling.

Although there was nothing in Fengyun Wuji’s right hand, everyone clearly felt that he seemed to hold something in his hand, a very strange, contradictory feeling that was hard to say.

Speaking of late, while everyone was thinking, the ‘Sky Sword’ had already hit this Ancient Demonic Ape heavily. Although the divine beast was instinctively keen, it did not know how to deal with this invisible sword.

A tearing sound came, and on the chest of the Ancient Demonic Ape, a long and neat mouth was silently opened, as if it was cut by a sharp object, but the wound was not very deep, and no blood flowed out.

The Ancient Demonic Ape suddenly suffered this injury, and it hurt to howl, and then a pair of eyes turned red.

The Ancient Demonic Ape pounded its chest and stamped its feet, suddenly looked up and howled, and the hair on its body stood upright, and there was a pink luster hidden under the fur.

“No good, this beast is going to draw the power of the stars!” An old man in a black robe exclaimed.

Sure enough, after the Ancient Demonic Ape’s roar that shook thousands of miles, the dark clouds suddenly broke a big mouth in the sky, and a huge blood-red light column with a bit of starlight fell from above the clouds and fell into the mouth of the Ancient Demonic Ape…
