Chapter 49: Divine Light
The Sword Intent of the Firestar Sword Technique descended, with strands of sword qi interweaving, as Su Zhan's sword struck the oncoming fist of the giant ape.
"Boom!"
Su Zhan's expression changed slightly, and he lightly tapped the ground with his toes, retreating more than ten meters to dissipate the violent force.
Indeed, a demonic beast at the Origin Elixir realm level possesses overwhelming strength in close combat against most warriors of the same realm!
Moreover, this giant ape seems to excel in strength and defense.
Su Zhan looked at the dark aura emanating from the ape's body which resisted his sword qi, and the giant ape only took two steps back. He had an idea in his mind.
His cultivation of the Firestar Sword Technique was approaching small achievement, and this beast had extremely strong defense but lacked agility. Perhaps, he could use it as a whetstone for his sword technique?
With this thought, the restless Great Sun Star Sword in the center of his brow suddenly quieted down.
"Human, you possess such power? However, under my fist, you can only be turned into pulp!" The giant ape was also surprised that Su Zhan could withstand its punch unharmed. It roared in anger, and a dark aura surged around its body as it once again launched a punch towards Su Zhan.
"Buzz!"
The air exploded!
The giant ape's fist, about the size of a kitchen, contained such tremendous power that it seemed capable of shattering the air itself.
Just as the punch was about to strike, Su Zhan made a move, employing Flickering Shadows. His figure flickered and disappeared from the original spot, leaving behind an afterimage.
The giant ape's punch missed its target, and before it could turn around, a beam of sword light had already slashed down on its back!
"Bang!" The dark aura ruptured, leaving a gaping wound on its back, with fresh blood staining the black fur around the edges of the injury.
"Roar!" In excruciating pain, the giant ape became furious and turned around, throwing another punch.
However, by this time, Su Zhan had retreated more than twenty meters. As the giant ape swung its punch, he changed direction and launched another attack.
Although the destructive power and defense of the giant ape were incredibly strong, it was still impossible to completely ignore Su Zhan's attacks. After a series of battles, the giant ape had gained three or four additional wounds.
They were not severe, but they were painful!
The giant ape was now completely enraged. It even came close to smashing the Star Element Fruit tree with a single punch.
Su Zhan was startled and quickly seized an opportunity to pluck a Star Element Fruit. Only then did he continue practicing his sword techniques with peace of mind.
Ten minutes passed.
Within a five-mile radius of Su Zhan and the giant ape's battle, trees collapsed, creating pits in the ground, and dust filled the air, creating a chaotic scene.
The majority of the destruction was caused by the giant ape, whose mind had been clouded by anger, but some of it was also due to Su Zhan's sword qi.
Feeling that he was getting closer to achieving the small achievement realm of Firestar Sword Technique, Su Zhan smiled and looked at the helpless and furious giant ape.
Having a sparring partner is truly great!
At this rate, I should soon be able to break through to the small achievement realm of the Firestar Sword Technique.
"Whoosh!"
A gust of wind could be heard from behind, and Su Zhan knew without looking that the huge fist was approaching. He used Flickering Shadows and took the opportunity to swallow a pill to replenish his true qi.
The Cultivation Halo activated, and the pill was completely assimilated within a few seconds. Suddenly, the true qi, which was on the verge of depletion, was restored to about one-third of its original state.
He then took out two more pills and swallowed them. His condition was now fully restored!
This scene infuriated the giant ape.
"You despicable human! Even with the power of pills, it will take a long time for them to take effect, and your human endurance is far inferior to mine! I want to see how long you can last!"
Another half an hour passed.
As the giant ape observed Su Zhan occasionally taking out a pill and instantly returning to a fully energized state, bouncing around without any signs of fatigue, its mentality started to crumble!
Didn't the tribe leader say that human cultivators' pills are good stuff but take a long time to take effect?s
Damn it, what abnormal human cultivator did I encounter today???
Seeing his own body covered in wounds while Su Zhan remained unscathed, the giant ape finally began to feel fear. If things continue like this it's certain death!
"You despicable human, I'm going to tap into my life potential!"
The giant ape roared, and its body became solid with a dark aura.
Is it really going all out?
Su Zhan had heard that some demonic beasts possess extremely powerful innate abilities that can be activated at a great cost. It seems hmm?
Su Zhan's expression turned serious as he stepped back a distance. He was considering whether to use the Great Sun Star Sword to end the battle when he saw the giant ape roar and then suddenly run away on all fours
What the hell is this?
Did it tap into its life potential just to escape?
Su Zhan was stunned. He didn't expect such a move. Watching the giant ape running far away, he had no intention of chasing it.
Lack of agility doesn't mean slow speed. Just like a wild boar, you can't say it's agile, but can you say it's not fast when it charges?
Considering the speed the giant ape burst out with, Su Zhan estimated that even if he wanted to chase, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up. He simply couldn't be bothered to pursue it.
Now, the most important thing was to cultivate the Firestar Sword Technique to the small achievement.
Insights from the battle with the giant ape floated in Su Zhan's mind, and he began to contemplate them. Every now and then, he would swing his sword to validate his thoughts.
Two hours later.
A dazzling and solid sword aura, trailing a tail of flames, flew out.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
Thousands of meters ahead, all the trees were cut in half by the sword aura, and it struck a small mountain peak.
The mountain peak crumbled!
The Firestar Sword Technique reached the realm of small achievement.
Su Zhan smiled. Now, if he were to encounter Ye Yunxuan again, he probably wouldn't even need to use the Great Sun Divine Body. Ye Yunxuan wouldn't be able to withstand his Firestar Sword Technique.
"The opening time of the Dark Star Forest is limited, and I need hmm? What's that?" Su Zhan's gaze flashed as he looked in a certain direction.
There, a divine light shot up into the sky, dispersing the clouds in the sky.
A precious treasure had appeared!
Without hesitation, Su Zhan flew towards that direction.
Not long after, he arrived at the location of the divine light.
Located at the center of a forest was a ten-meter tall Star Element Fruit tree.
On the tree, there was only one Star Element Fruit, but that single Star Element Fruit was the size of a watermelon, and the divine light emanated from that huge fruit, shooting straight into the sky.
"Brother Su?"
A voice suddenly sounded.
Su Zhan turned around and was surprised to see it was Ninth Prince , Xia Qihai!
"Brother Xia."
"Brother Su, were you also attracted by the divine light? But let's not think about this Star God Fruit. There are too many strong cultivators drawn by the divine light" Xia Qihai sighed helplessly. "I won't mention the others, but earlier I saw Hu Yue, whose strength is second only to those three in the Origin Elixir Realm!"
"And, speaking of others, did you see that terrifying monster ape? It just tore the original guardian beast that was here into two halves! Its strength is probably comparable to the mid-stage of the Origin Elixir Realm!"
After listening to Xia Qihai's words, Su Zhan was slightly amazed.
Star God Fruit, so this is the Star God Fruit!
The divine fruit that is born after the mutation of the Star Element Fruit tree. Sixty years ago, someone fortuitously obtained a Star God Fruit and directly achieved the Star Radiance Holy Body.
If I could obtain it Su Zhan's eyes glowed with fervor.
"Brother Su, let's stay here and observe! With our strengths, this kind of treasure and us Brother Su? Brother Su, what are you doing?!" Xia Qihai's words were interrupted when he saw Su Zhan already walking towards the Star God Fruit tree, his face instantly changing.
