Chapter 834: Cut Off Both Legs
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The northern wind whistled while snowflakes fell.
Qiu Chengwang’s eyes were bloodshot as he mustered the spiritual power inside his dantian to the maximum. Under the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s pressure, the man squeezed out his potential completely. When he flashed and swung his sleeve, a row of long nails flew out and enveloped Multi-armed King Kong like heavy raindrops rattling on banana leaves.
The long nails had such queer flight paths that they could not be guarded against.
Next, the patterns on all of the long nails lit up. They displayed a ghostly and bewitching color.
Nonetheless, Multi-armed King Kong was unafraid. Instead, it let out a long cry into the air.
Following its roar, the accumulated snow within roughly 33 meters from it dispersed! It later pressed its palms down, causing massive hands with distinct veined patterns to be condensed out of thin air. Consequently, the Soul-locking Nails were planted into the ground. At the same time, the king kong bent its body and leaped out as fast as a lightning bolt.
‘How fast!’ Qiu Chengwang was appalled. He immediately got into a stance and lowered his center of gravity, where he swayed like mercury. He was trying to cope with a constantly changing situation by sticking to a fixed principle.
After holding up his left hand in front of his chest, Qiu Chengwang punched with his right. As he attacked and defended concurrently, the spiritual Qi inside his dantian transformed into vigor that gushed into his fist. “How dare a newly advanced Venerable One try to show off in front of me? You really don’t know your place!” His ferocity burst out at this moment!
Multi-armed King Kong stepped on strong winds. It arched its back to a shocking degree before it punched.
“Boom…”
When the fists clashed, a fierce wind stirred up falling snow, then an invisible storm spread with the king kong and the black-robed man as its center. Moreover, a ripple could be seen in the space, and everything within roughly 33 meters was crushed and driven away.
“Die!” Multi-armed King Kong shouted. Green veins bulged like horned dragons on its arm, and the absolute power inside its body burst out more intensely than before.
This time, Qiu Chengwang’s body looked like a small boat that was going to be overturned in a river. He staggered backward and coughed out blood while a fleeting look of fear appeared on his face.
He knew the ancient ape must have cultivated an exceptional body-tempering art and perfected it. This was because its physical power was far beyond that of its peers. In particular, its defense was so strong that even Qiu Chengwang’s attacks were nearly futile.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One nodded when it saw what happened. It laughed out loud and remarked, “After overcoming 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts, King Kong’s physical power’s so notable that even I’m frightened.”
Its voice rumbled inside Qiu Chengwang’s head, and he thought, ‘This enormous thing actually… Actually overcame 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts. They’re… They’re 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts! How could that be?’
Qiu Chengwang inhaled some cold air and forced himself to curb his thoughts before he managed to suppress the fear.
He proceeded to make an extremely weird gesture with his right hand, where his thumb and 2 other fingers touched at the same time. Countless black smokes were released from his body in a flash.
As for his overall momentum, it was similar to a saber that was out of his scabbard, where it was sharp and filled with killing intent.
Multi-armed King Kong was not being perfunctory at all. The illusory image of an ancient ape floated behind it once more as it uttered with a muffled voice, “With my natal essence and blood, open up the truth!” Subsequently, the ancient ape opened its eyes. The universe seemed to be filled with red while the reflection of the ancient ape’s illusory image could be seen in the king kong’s eyes. A flash of white light appeared, then a red saber slowly appeared in its hand. The shocking part was that the ancient ape’s lively figure was engraved on the saber, but its eyes were closed as though the universe would be shaken if they were opened. Moreover, the veined patterns on the red saber were deep, complicated, and mysterious. Especially for the ancient ape’s figure at the top, it looked indescribably sharp.
The second the saber was condensed in the air, a cold wind blew in the sky. Even the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One tensed up.
Its face changed, but it was soon surprised and overjoyed. “Is that… Is that the Atavistic Saber?”
Ou Yangming became concentrated as he asked softly, “10,000 Beasts Venerable One, what’s the Atavistic Saber?”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One looked deeply moved as it explained, “Among the ancient apes, there’s a 0.1% chance for a reversion to our ancestors, where one can condense the Atavistic Blood, but the first step is to use an illusory figure to condense an Atavistic Weapon. Once the blood’s condensed, one can kill even deities and devils. I’m already able to condense the illusory images of 3 ancient apes, but I still haven’t managed to condense an Atavistic Weapon.” It looked with bright eyes at Multi-armed King Kong. At this moment, even the greatest powerhouse from the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was too happy for words. ‘Since Multi-armed condensed even the Atavistic Blood, it can probably take that step too, right?’
Qiu Chengwang’s voice turned hoarse and dry when he saw the king kong’s mightiness. He looked mad as he uttered, “You forced me!”
As he smirked with a red light flashing in his eyes, he tapped his interspatial bag. A black coffin flew out right away, and it was so lifeless as if it would shatter into numerous pieces at any time. This was the Suicidal Coffin that he carried out from the Big Ruins after escaping a narrow death.
A grave look could be seen on the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s face as it mumbled, “This is weird. Why… Why doesn’t it carry the smell of the Big Ruins? I’m probably… Probably mistaken. Even if I were to enter that place, I’ll have a slim chance of surviving.” It looked like it was in fear.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was taken aback, but it still did not meddle in the fight. After all, Multi-armed King Kong had gone through 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts and condensed an Atavistic Weapon. Given that Qiu Chengwang was also a Rudimentary Venerable One, even if he possessed something from the Big Ruins, the king kong would still defeat him for sure.
At the spur of the moment, Qiu Chengwang pressed his right hand down. With that, the coffin rose into the sky. Yellow corpse water dripped down from the coffin, causing an unpleasant smell to fill the air.
Every drop of corpse water felt like a heavy hit from a hammer on Ou Yangming’s heart. It was such a bizarre scene, after all.
An old coffin with corpse water dripping from it would terrify one and give one goosebump.
Qiu Chengwang let out a cry into the air and let the copse water drip on his both. He looked mad as he yelled, “Degenerate! I want you to die!” As soon as his voice was heard, it seemed like spiritual QI was also eroded as everything turned into nothing. A flying dragon that was condensed from the corpse water bared its sharp fangs and attempted to devour Multi-armed King Kong.
Multi-armed King Kong’s eyes were bloodshot. It clapped its hands and spat out its essence and blood on the red saber.
Blood lights appeared at once and moved toward the ancient ape’s image at the top. They eventually moved faster and became more concentrated.
The hidden savagery in the king kong’s bloodline burst out as it roared, “Guided by essence and blood—Mind Training!” Right after that, the ancient ape at the top of its saber opened its eyes abruptly. A golden light was released from those eyes and filled the whole universe while an overbearing aura reverberated as though it was immemorial. As a result, all of the spirit beasts within several kilometers lay prone on the ground. They kept crying and trembling as if they saw the most horrifying thing ever.
“Mind Training. Chop—”
Apart from looking indifferent and awe-inspiring, Multi-armed King Kong also looked mad and domineering at this time.
‘What’s an ancient ape? An ancient ape can destroy the universe and break through the vault of heaven!’
Multi-armed King Kong’s red saber, which was formed from the ancient ape’s illusory image, shone brightly as it suddenly chopped at the air.
An ancient ape simply descended from ancient times with aggression. It was over 300 meters tall, and it was covered in thick golden fur. Without further ado, it attempted to devour Qiu Chengwang. An intense wind was stirred up in the space, which wrinkled as if it could be torn at any time. The winds and the clouds in the sky reverse, where the cloud layers even dispersed and gathered repeatedly. As for the ground within about 300 meters, it sank roughly 3 meters each time. A storm blew up while gravel flew everywhere—this was the Mind Training, where a single hit was incredibly fearsome.
“Boom…”
The illusory figure that descended from ancient times moved its hand down to get hold of the flying dragon.
With that, the dragon of over 30 meters moved like a long whip as the figure simply crashed it into a small mountain.
Ou Yangming’s eyes were as sharp as lighting. The scene was too awe-inspiring for him. He never thought that Multi-armed King Kong would be so formidable after surviving the Heavenly Disaster, by which it suppressed an experienced Venerable One from the beginning until the end. Needless to say, the young fellow knew it was because the king kong had gone through 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One looked impassioned as well. Its arms were shaking as it was deeply moved.
All of a sudden, the coffin flew up and down.
“Click, click, click…” The sounds sounded like they could trigger the most primitive fear deep inside one’s heart.
By looking in the direction where the sounds came from, one could see a pitch-black skeleton flying out of the coffin. It was covered with rotting flesh, and a disgusting smell spread with the cold wind. Particularly, it had red eyes with only the pupils and not the white, thus they looked hollow yet bloody, which was very hideous.
Qiu Chengwang seemed to have turned into a crazy devil as he sneered. “Die, die!”
Multi-armed King Kong’s eyes were filled with viciousness. Other than Ou Yangming, Lil’ Red, and very few others, whom it acted simple and honest in front of, it dared to rip off everyone and everything else including the sky! Without saying a word, the king kong pointed its right finger forward. A finger wind was released, then the ancient ape’s illusory figure ran to grab the skeleton.
“Are you courting death?” Qiu Chengwang kept sneering while he hid within red mists. Back when he found the coffin at the Big Ruins, he had suffered due to the erosive power from the skeleton. Now that the illusory ancient ape dared to grab it barehanded, it was simply courting death.
Qiu Chengwang was sure that the illusory figure would be eroded by the erosive power and crumble.
Of course, while that was what he thought, he still made gestures with both hands. Accordingly, sharp, thin, and long spurs grew on every part of the skeleton. If one looked at it from afar, it would look like innumerable steel sabers that were flickering in cold lights.
The illusory ancient ape slapped from up to down. The veined patterns on its palm became tangible at this moment.
Following a flash of light, the skeleton crumbled and dispersed in the air.
“How’s that possible?” Qiu Chengwang’s voice was shrill. He spat out his essence and blood while he staggered. The black-robed man could not believe that his trump card was defeated just like that. The coffin in mid-air fell apart too.
Multi-armed King Kong’s blood was boiling while its fighting spirit surged. It leaped and slashed its red saber from up to down to chop off Qiu Chengwang’s legs. Blood splattered out to the ground, but they were quickly frozen by the cold air. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful scene as if a young lady was doing embroidery in the snowfield.
Qiu Chengwang’s eyes were filled with frightful hatred as he stared at Multi-armed King Kong.
