Chapter 553 The Pact with the Demon Ape
boom!
He wore a five-element gilded armor, a flowing light and void fur coat, had a purple-patterned divine eye on his forehead, and held a three-pointed double-edged sword.
Upon entering the Myriad Spirits Tribulation Transformation state, Chen Beiwu's cultivation level surged at an incredible speed.
Late Nascent Soul stage!
Peak Nascent Soul stage!
Nascent Soul complete!
The vast energy surged like a tsunami, suppressing heaven and earth, and making the Fighting Demon Ape feel a long-lost surge of passion.
"That's right, that's how it should be!"
The Fighting Demon Ape stared intently at Chen Beiwu.
It knew that Chen Beiwu's talent and potential were extremely terrifying, but it did not expect him to do something so exaggerated, leaping two minor realms and boldly stepping into the Nascent Soul Perfection stage.
"Senior, please be careful."
Chen Beiwu flicked his right hand, and the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light that filled the sky and earth.
"Go all out, no need to hold back."
The Fighting Demon Ape took a step forward and unleashed two heavy punches, the power emanating from them even more terrifying than the killing move of a Nascent Soul Perfected True Monarch.
Chen Beiwu neither dodged nor evaded, but raised his sword to block, the blade meeting the demonic ape's heavy punch.
boom!
The shockwave exploded, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth swept in all directions.
Chen Beiwu retreated a hundred steps, his tiger's mouth split open, and drops of blood dripped down the hilt of his sword.
But as the Five Elements Golden Armor shimmered, the blood from Chen Beiwu's tiger's mouth stopped, and his injuries were instantly healed.
The Fighting Demon Ape, however, was completely unharmed. Its movements were as swift as the wind, and it threw a punch at Chen Beiwu's face with enough power to flatten a mountain range.
Don't try to take it head-on!
Chen Beiwu understood that the Fighting Demon Ape possessed the power of the Four Symbols, wielding the authority of earth, water, wind, and fire, and possessing the weight of earth and the ferocity of fire.
The length of water and the speed of wind.
Once these four elements are perfectly combined, they possess both offensive and defensive capabilities, are invincible, and their power is extremely terrifying.
It was precisely because of this that even though Chen Beiwu had anticipated the attack of the Fighting Demon Ape in advance through his two profound abilities, the Heavenly Eye and Heavenly Ear, he had nowhere to dodge and could only use his Primordial True Qi to fight head-on, unable to avoid its sharp edge.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Thunder roared from the void, annihilating space itself.
Every time Chen Beiwu unleashed a slash, he would take a punch from the Fighting Demon Ape and be forced to retreat a hundred steps.
Meanwhile, the demonic ape's eyes flashed with a ferocious, blood-red light. It grew stronger with each battle, even spreading its five fingers to try and grab the blade light that Chen Beiwu unleashed.
"Clang!"
The blade struck the demonic ape's palm, producing a metallic clang and sparks, but it failed to leave the slightest injury.
Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed, and he felt a terrifying, overwhelming force constantly suppressing and sealing off his escape space. What followed was bound to be a devastating blow.
With this thought in mind, Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, pushed the intent of the Immortal Slaying Blade to its limit, and slashed out with the three-pointed double-edged blade, intending to cut the Fighting Demon Ape in half at the waist.
Wherever the light of the Immortal-Slaying Blade reached, time seemed to freeze. A wisp of silver-white line slowly appeared on the waist of the Fighting Demon Ape, but it also appeared on Chen Beiwu's body at the same time.
"Pfft!" Chen Beiwu groaned.
If Chen Beiwu hadn't been protected and defended by the Five Qi Flowing Gold Armor and the Flowing Light Void Fur, which could block most of the damage and energy from the backlash from the Demon Ape's battle against the Demon Body's profound connection, the Demon Ape would probably have been unharmed by this strike, while he himself would have been cut in half at the waist by his own Immortal Slaying Blade Intent.
"Tick-tock!"
"Tick-tock!"
"Tick-tock!"
At the same time, drops of blood flowed from the knife wound on the waist of the Fighting Demon Ape, but healed in the blink of an eye.
Clearly, Chen Beiwu's Immortal-Slaying Blade Intent was so powerful that even the Battle Demon Body, which was known as "impervious to all laws and unparalleled in battle," could break through it.
"roar."
The Fighting Demon Ape became serious, roaring to the sky, its chains trembling and beginning to crack one by one.
With each break of a demon-binding chain, the aura and pressure of the Fighting Demon Ape intensified, causing it to sprout a head and a pair of arms.
In a short moment, the Fighting Demon Ape grew three heads and six arms, and its aura had surpassed that of a perfected Demon King, exceeding the range of cultivation that Chen Beiwu could perceive.
Even so, the Demon-Binding Chains binding the Fighting Demon Ape were still densely packed, with half of the chains remaining intact.
Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu remained unmoved.
He could unleash the Myriad Spirits Tribulation Transformation, leaping two minor realms in a row. As a terrifying existence ranked third on the Creation Beast Ranking, how could the Fighting Demon Ape not possess a similar explosive power?
However, even with such a powerful burst of profound abilities, the Fighting Demon Ape could not completely break through the barrier of the Fourth Realm Demon King and fully enter the Fifth Realm Demon Venerable.
"continue."
The Fighting Demon Ape's aura was domineering and its ferocity was terrifying. With one palm, it covered the heavens and the earth, and struck Chen Beiwu's head directly.
The surging killing intent emanating from each move was nothing like a friendly sparring match; it was more like a death match where only one side could survive!
Not to be outdone, Chen Beiwu entered the Myriad Spirits Tribulation Transformation form. Although the gap between him and the Fighting Demon Ape still existed, the perfect combination of the Five Qi Flowing Gold Armor, the Flowing Light Void Fur, the Purple Pattern Divine Eye, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, and the Immortal-Slaying Blade Intent was enough for him to contend with this peerless ferocious beast.
boom!
The frenzied collision between Yuanshi Zhen and Douzhan Mo created a void torrent that tore through space.
Even if Chen Beiwu and the Fighting Demon Ape intentionally controlled the power of their attacks, concentrating all the power of their Xuan Tong killing moves into one point, the Heavenly Evolution True Realm could not withstand such a large-scale battle, resulting in the surrounding space being a scene of shattered chaos.
After all, the Heavenly Evolution True Realm is not a real world, but a prototype of a world opened up by the Heavenly Evolution True Monarch using profound abilities, and it inherently has its limits.
"Unfortunately, this world is too weak to withstand our battle."
The Fighting Demon Ape lowered its head, watching the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade tear through the void and pierce its own heart, its expression calm.
For a Nascent Soul Perfected Demon King, having his heart severed is not a serious injury, not even a minor one.
Moreover, having sat in the Heavenly Evolution True Realm for six thousand years, it has already cultivated a fighting spirit. It only lacks a Daoist essence of creation. Perhaps by finding a strong opponent who can defeat it and fighting against defeat, it can finally take that step.
Chen Beiwu was slightly out of breath, his three-pointed double-edged sword stuck in the chest of the Fighting Demon Ape, making it difficult for him to move.
hard!
It's too hard!
If the intent of the Immortal-Slaying Blade is a profound technique that touches upon the realm of Nascent Soul, Chen Beiwu suspects that the demonic body of the Fighting Demon Ape has already reached the fifth level.
Otherwise, even if it were a demon king at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Chen Beiwu could easily kill it by breaking through the demon king's three immortalities with a single strike using the intent of the Immortal Slaying Blade.
"Are there any other mystical abilities?"
The Fighting Demon Ape stared intently at Chen Beiwu, but didn't hold out much hope.
The strength Chen Beiwu has shown today is already enough to surprise it.
When Chen Beiwu reaches the Nascent Soul Perfection realm in the future, it may not need to wait for the heavens to change before it can prove its Dao through battle and forcefully break through to the Fifth Realm Demon Venerable realm.
"I have a powerful killing move called 'Dharma Manifestation,' but its power is difficult to control," Chen Beiwu said, his brows furrowing slightly.
The Fighting Demon Ape was his guide and also a close friend with whom he discussed the Dao and fought.
It is no exaggeration to say that without the sparring partner of the Fighting Demon Ape to accumulate enough experience and push the art of skill to its limit, even if he had the ability to unleash profound powers to increase his realm, he would still find it difficult to master and control the extremely refined cultivation within his body.
To put it bluntly, Chen Beiwu always believed that this was just a friendly exchange of ideas and that there was no need to use the Dharma Aspect Mystic Power. The Fighting Demon Ape probably felt the same way and never manifested its True Domain of the Natal Demon King.
"Let me see!" The Fighting Demon Ape grinned excitedly.
"No, if I use my Dharma Form, this world will be completely destroyed." Chen Beiwu shook his head.
"Don't worry about that, just go ahead and do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon-Binding Chains on the Fighting Demon Ape emitted a dark golden light, soaring into the sky and piercing the heavens, completely enveloping the surrounding space for tens of thousands of miles, forming a special dark space.
The dark space had no sky or earth, only the illusory shadows of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers.
At this moment, the Fighting Demon Ape's body swelled and grew stronger, transforming into a towering demon ape that blotted out the sky. The aura emanating from its body increased more than tenfold compared to before, as if it had become the sole ruler of this space.
Chen Beiwu sighed softly, raised his three-pointed double-edged sword, and a majestic Primordial Dharma Image appeared in the void behind him.
Its front is indifferent, its left side is angry, and its right side is compassionate. It is 96,000 feet tall, high above, like a god. Even a true dragon can be easily captured in its palm, let alone a ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic ape.
"What kind of Dharma form is this?" The Fighting Demon Ape's eyes blazed with fighting spirit.
"The Primordial Dharma Form".
Chen Beiwu's expression was solemn as he struck down with his palm, causing the space around him to shift dramatically.
The Fighting Demon Ape's eyes narrowed slightly as it noticed towering pillars surrounding it, effectively sealing it off.
In the next instant, everything changed.
The Fighting Demon Ape raised its head, spread its six arms, its muscles bulged, and the veins on its palms stood out, supporting the five towering pillars that fell from the sky.
boom!
The massive pillar pressed down on it, causing the demonic ape to bend its knees slightly. Its skin surged with chaotic power as it forcibly held on. Even as visible shockwaves rippled through the palm-patterned ground beneath its feet, and its chains trembled violently, emitting mournful cries of unbearable strain, its back remained ramrod straight, without hunching.
Chen Beiwu lowered his head slightly, looking at the Fighting Demon Ape in his palm. The Primordial True Essence within his body poured out, activating the Three Realms Wisdom Light and the Dharma Image True Spirit to their fullest extent, and then closed his five fingers together.
"Snap, snap!"
As the power emanating from the giant pillar grew increasingly terrifying, the bones inside the Fighting Demon Ape cracked loudly, and its three arms shattered, gushing out large amounts of blood.
But the Fighting Demon Ape still did not fall. It roared to the sky, and the fighting spirit deep in its bloodline continued to burn, turning into streams of primal and pure power to strengthen itself. Inch by inch, it forcibly supported the five towering pillars above its head, causing Chen Beiwu's clenched fingers to gradually open.
The Fighting Demon Ape truly lives up to its name!
With a thought, Chen Beiwu's Primordial Dharma Image behind him quietly disappeared.
There's no need to continue!
As long as the Fighting Demon Ape's fighting spirit remains undiminished, even if Chen Beiwu closes his five fingers and unleashes an ultimate attack from the Primordial Dharma Form, he will not be able to render the former powerless.
At the same time, as the five towering pillars disappeared and the dark space dissipated, the Fighting Demon Ape's body rapidly shrank, like a meteor plummeting to the earth, crashing into and shattering several towering mountains.
"happy!"
The Fighting Demon Ape lay in the ravine, coughing twice, its chest heaving violently, blood flowing from its five orifices, and its palms were worn away, revealing its crystal-clear jade bones.
But it paid no attention to its injuries, its eyes fixed on Chen Beiwu, eager to try again: "Can we do it one more time?"
Chen Beiwu shook his head calmly.
"It's pointless. Even if we try a few more times, I still can't defeat you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu withdrew from the Myriad Spirits Calamity Transformation form.
The flesh and blood of the Fighting Demon Ape rapidly regenerated and recovered, its fallen aura climbed back to its peak, and even the dark gold chains wrapped around its body were intact, as if it had never been injured.
"pity."
The Fighting Demon Ape simply stood up and walked over to Aji.
"Roar?" "Woof?" "Hah?" "Eek?"
Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Schiller, and Zhiling's eyelids twitched, but due to excessive exertion, they were powerless to stop the Fighting Demon Ape from approaching Aji.
Chen Beiwu did leave some room for maneuver, but he made no attempt to stop it, quietly watching the Fighting Demon Ape approach.
"Buzz!"
Aji shook the giant egg, his spiritual energy fluctuating violently, trying to create distance.
"Your cultivation method is strange. It seems that the stronger the beast you cultivate with, the stronger you become?"
The Fighting Demon Ape paused, then suddenly turned to look at Chen Beiwu.
"That's right."
Chen Beiwu nodded, using his divine sense to reassure Aji and put the little guy at ease.
He knew the Fighting Demon Ape's temperament very well. Having just finished a great battle, this guide who pursued the spirit of battle would not possibly attack Aji.
"Then why didn't you let it attack as well?" The Fighting Demon Ape asked, somewhat dissatisfied.
Although this giant egg has not yet hatched, its cultivation level is clearly above that of the other four beasts.
If Chen Beiwu's previous burst of profound power had been included in the battle against the giant egg, it might have been able to savor an even more delicious experience.
"Aji's bloodline is not yet fully formed, and rashly using the Myriad Spirits Calamity Transformation would damage his foundation and potential," Chen Beiwu explained.
He did not intend to involve Aji in too many battles before Aji fully hatched.
"Alright, I'm satisfied with today's battle. I hope you can become even stronger next time."
At this point, the Fighting Demon Ape raised its right hand, pointed its index finger at its heart, and a drop of extremely black, viscous blood essence immediately appeared on its fingertip.
Within the essence blood, there was a faint phantom of a demonic ape, its fists pounding its chest, its head raised to the sky and roaring, emanating a strong fighting aura.
The Fighting Demon Ape clenched its fist, stripping away the will within the essence blood, leaving only the purest bloodline essence. Then, with a flick of its finger, a streak of black light instantly swept in front of Chen Beiwu.
"This drop of essence blood contains the power of earth, fire, wind, and water, which can bring it into the world as soon as possible. Whether you use it or not is up to you."
"This is too precious, thank you very much, senior." Chen Beiwu's eyes brightened slightly as he bowed to the Fighting Demon Ape.
"No need for thanks. The Southern Wilderness is about to undergo a great change, and I need you to do something for me." The Fighting Demon Ape glanced at Chen Beiwu.
"Please speak freely, senior. If it is within my ability, I will certainly not refuse," Chen Beiwu said.
"I need someone to protect me when I ascend my bloodline and attain the Dao of Demon Lord," the Fighting Demon Ape said bluntly. "If you are willing to help, I can grant you three drops of Demon Lord's essence blood to help you twice after you succeed."
"Senior, there's no need for that," Chen Beiwu shook his head and refused.
The Fighting Demon Ape's eyes remained unchanged, indicating it understood Chen Beiwu's personality.
As expected, Chen Beiwu spoke up the next second: "Senior has helped me a lot, so there is no need to mention the matter of reward. Even without these, I am willing to protect you."
However, if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to intervene, this junior could only do his best to defend against them, and dare not guarantee that no one would be able to interfere with your breakthrough.
"If a Nascent Soul cultivator intervenes, you can easily escape." The Fighting Demon Ape turned and left, leaving only one sentence: "As for the reward, I never owe anyone karma; you must take it."
Watching the Fighting Demon Ape disappear, Chen Beiwu shook his head and brought the demon ape's essence blood close to Aji.
"Buzz!"
As expected, Aji expressed his desire.
The essence and blood of the Creation Beast are already a great tonic, not to mention that the Fighting Demon Ape combines the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, which are quite compatible with Aji's Yin-Yang and Qiankun attributes.
