Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Heartfelt Demon Ape
“The Thousand Buddha Divine Fire is actually in the hands of a youth, a Human Race youth can actually control the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire!” The young man revealed a sinisterly charming smile that sent shivers down one’s spine, “Interesting, interesting. It seems that this emergence of mine is destined not to be too lonely!”
“Little guy, we will meet again!”
His laughter echoed through the cave, shaking the rocks and causing them to tumble.
By this time, Yang Xiaotian and his companions had finally arrived at Demon Ape Mountain.
Like Demon Ape Ridge, Demon Ape Mountain was also one of the forbidden lands, hence it was sparsely populated, as quiet as Death Swamp.
The Iceflame Qilin and Azure Thunder Python looked at the towering Demon Ape Mountain with solemn expressions.
Others might not sense the wild and murderous intent of Demon Ape Mountain, but they all did.
This violent intent to kill came from the deepest underground part of Demon Ape Mountain.
“Young Master, the suppressed Demon Ape is at the deepest part of Demon Ape Mountain, underground!” the Iceflame Qilin said to Yang Xiaotian.
“Is there a way to get in?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
Blue flames flickered in the eyes of the Iceflame Qilin as it peered through the layers of the mountain to inspect the deepest parts of Demon Ape Mountain. It soon withdrew its gaze and said to Yang Xiaotian, “We can get in, but we will need to use the power of your Divine Fire to do so.”
After receiving the Qilin’s affirmative reply, Yang Xiaotian said, “Good, then let’s go in now!”
He could not afford to delay even a moment longer.
Under the power of the eleven Sword Hearts, he sensed that the deathly energy in the cave was growing stronger and more terrifying by the minute.
So, the Iceflame Qilin manifested its true form, and Yang Xiaotian rode upon it as they flew towards the deepest part of Demon Ape Mountain.
The Azure Thunder Python and Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor promptly followed.
Before long, Yang Xiaotian and his company reached the deepest part of Demon Ape Mountain.
To their surprise, the ground at the deepest part of the mountain was covered with layers upon layers of Blackglow Ice.
No wonder the Iceflame Qilin had previously mentioned needing the power of his Divine Fire.
Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire. Under its power, the Blackglow Ice began to melt away. Unhappy with the speed, Yang Xiaotian also called upon the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire.
With both Divine Fires at work, they melted the hundred-zhang-thick Blackglow Ice.
The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor watched thirstily.
This was the first time he had witnessed Yang Xiaotian controlling both Divine Fires since he had started following him.
After melting the Blackglow Ice, the Iceflame Qilin spread its icy blue flames and broke the ground, leading Yang Xiaotian and the others down into the depths.
There was a cold vein beneath Demon Ape Mountain, which over the years had turned the entire mountain body into frozen soil, extremely hard. Even with the Iceflame Qilin’s icy blue flames fully unleashed, it was difficult to break through this frozen soil.
Fortunately, they had Yang Xiaotian’s two Divine Fires.
However, after descending a thousand zhang, the frozen soil became even harder, and their speed was hindered.
An hour of effort later, they finally reached the bottom.
Underneath Demon Ape Mountain was an enormous underground space.
It was completely open.
In the middle of the flat ground stood an immensely large Demon Ape covered in black fur. Swirls of Demonic Qi rolled around its body, and its arms and hands were all locked with chains that stretched thousands of zhang.
Around the Demon Ape were four giant pillars to which the chains were connected.
The pillars seemed to extend from deep within the ground, connecting the entire mountain as one.
From afar, the Demon Ape appeared like a towering mountain of black, with the sky behind completely obscured by it.
The true forms of the Iceflame Qilin and Azure Thunder Python were large enough, yet the Demon Ape before them was even taller and larger by a couple of sizes.
Sensing the arrival of Yang Xiaotian and his companions, the Demon Ape opened its eyes.
Suddenly, a killing intent as overwhelming as a tsunami surged toward Yang Xiaotian and his companions.
Yang Xiaotian was startled, the killing intent of the Demon Ape was incredibly shocking.
Just this killing intent alone, I’m afraid many in the Emperor Realm wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
The Demon Ape’s eyes were blood-red, staring at Yang Xiaotian and his companions.
Just a few days ago, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor had broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm, but now, being stared at by the eyes of the Demon Ape, he still felt his heart chill.
Yang Xiaotian and the others flew towards the Demon Ape.
Seeing this, the Demon Ape slowly stood up from the ground.
As it stood, it was like a mountain pressing down on the earth, trembling the ground incessantly, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Witnessing the Demon Ape standing up, Yang Xiaotian and the others were shocked, as it was now more than twice its initial height, practically obscuring the sky.
However, the limbs of the Demon Ape were shackled, limiting its range of movement to only around the stone pillar.
“Beast God, Iceflame Qilin! Azure Thunder Python!” It stared at the Iceflame Qilin seated beneath Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python behind him, with a hint of surprise in its eyes.
A young man had actually tamed two Beast Gods, which left the Demon Ape filled with astonishment and suspicion.
“Heartfelt Demon Ape!” The Iceflame Qilin also recognized the true form of the Demon Ape in front of it.
The Heartfelt Demon Ape, like the Azure Thunder Python before it evolved, was both a Divine Beast King.
The Heartfelt Demon Ape in front of them was very powerful, far surpassing both the Iceflame Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python.
Although the Iceflame Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python were Super Divine Beasts, even if they joined forces, it was doubtful they could match this Heartfelt Demon Ape.
Yang Xiaotian gazed at the Heartfelt Demon Ape.
On its chest, there was an astoundingly large wound that stretched from its shoulder all the way down to its belly, resembling a great rift valley.
Judging by the wound, it should be a sword injury.
Unknown whether it was inflicted by the Heavenly Dragon Sword God of yore, it still hadn’t healed after so many years.
“What brings you to this place?” the Demon Ape spoke, its voice like thunder, shaking the space around them.
Yang Xiaotian said, “Senior, do you wish to leave this place? I can free you from here.”
The Demon Ape, upon hearing this, paused, then burst into laughter, the space shaking uncontrollably, terrifying Demonic Qi billowing violently, causing the rocks of Demon Ape Mountain to scatter and fly.
“Little guy, you can free me from this place?” it laughed. “Even I cannot break free from these iron chains, do you really have a way to unlock them? Do you know what these chains are made of?”
“Black Crystal Cold Iron!” Yang Xiaotian uttered.
Black Crystal Cold Iron is one of the hardest metals in the world.
The Demon Ape’s laughter ceased, and it stared at Yang Xiaotian: “Since you know it’s Black Crystal Cold Iron, you should be aware it’s one of the hardest metals in this world.”
Yang Xiaotian did not speak but instead drew a sword.
Seeing the sword in Yang Xiaotian’s hands, the Demon Ape was shockingly surprised: “Sword of Azure God!”
Yes, what Yang Xiaotian had taken out was, in fact, the Sword of Azure God.
Though the Sword of Azure God was not completely repaired, cutting through the Black Crystal Cold Iron was still not an issue.
“You actually received the legacy of the Lord of Azure God!” The Demon Ape stared at Yang Xiaotian, eyes filled with shock.
After a million years, the Sword of Azure God was seen once again! And in the hands of a human youth no less! How could it not be shocked.
“I can free you and return your freedom, but you will need to become my mount,” Yang Xiaotian cut straight to the point, stating his intention.
Now, he was in urgent need of subordinates in the Divine Spirit Realm.
