207: It seems that he is the only one in this world!

The Golden Ape and the white bone great rod were in a stalemate, stirring up strange air currents within the hall.

Lu Yu did not immediately intervene, but silently watched this scene unfold.

As he had predicted, under the modification of the Power of Anomaly, the white bone great rod's aura surged, becoming even more terrifying.

Even though the Golden Ape had already broken through to B-rank, he still couldn't do anything about it.

If the Golden Ape wanted to completely wield the white bone great rod, he would need to rely on his own strength to firmly suppress it.

Otherwise, even after the Power of Anomaly was exhausted and the consciousness of the mutated white bone great rod dissipated, he might not be able to return to the state where it was as easily controlled as an arm.

Of course, Lu Yu also wanted to see what the white bone great rod would ultimately become.

After all, the root cause of all anomalies was entirely determined by the anomalous object itself.

Under Lu Yu's gaze, the white bone great rod, in addition to developing a gaping maw, also became increasingly dark, as if forged from the profound night sky.

Each vibration of the great rod brought with it a black trailing tail, as if to drag one's consciousness into it.

The Golden Ape and the white bone great rod were in a stalemate for not long before an unprecedented look of arrogance emerged in the depths of his eyes.

“As my staff, you should possess a heart that looks down on everything, but the prerequisite for all of this is to submit to me!”

The moment the cold voice came from the Golden Ape's mouth, his golden fur seemed to stand on end.

His already well-defined muscles writhed wildly, as if he had transformed into a muscle-bound giant, and he forcefully pried open the white bone great rod.

Under the strong muscular contractions, the white bone great rod immediately began to tear from the corners of its mouth, forming bloody cracks.

Black liquid continuously dripped down, corroding the air and eating away at the hall's floor, creating deep pits.

The Golden Ape's strength erupted, temporarily even surpassing the white bone great rod, which was continuously being refined by the Power of Anomaly.

The sensation of its mouth tearing made the white bone great rod appear insane, and the Power of Anomaly remaining within its body explosively spread to every corner of the great rod.

The torn mouth instantly recovered, and instead became even larger and more terrifying than before.

Just as the Golden Ape was about to continue his attack to forcefully suppress the white bone great rod, he unknowingly found that the Power of Anomaly, through the white bone great rod, had also subtly affected his consciousness.

Black mist began to emerge from his golden body.

His already bulging muscles continued to swell like a balloon, almost on the verge of bursting.

The Golden Ape's expression was one of unprecedented astonishment.

This was because the black mist was continuously strengthening his body, while also causing his body to undergo permanent changes in some unknown direction.

Most living beings are both fearful and curious about the unknown.

The Golden Ape was naturally no exception.

His bloodline was special; if he had followed the traditional path of ancestral cultivation, he might not have been able to become a powerful figure.

However, a bloodline was also a shackles; when he reached the peak of his bloodline, there was almost no possibility of further advancement.

His upper limit had been locked.

Now, the strangeness of the black mist completely shattered this limitation!

He only felt an endless stream of power and will pouring into his body.

It twisted his bloodline and distorted his consciousness!

It kept him constantly on the verge of qi deviation.

Lu Yu's expression had already become solemn.

He clearly hadn't expected that the Power of Anomaly would actually be transmitted to the Golden Ape.

Lu Yu still couldn't fathom this kind of influence on living beings.

He wanted to help the Golden Ape, but the Golden Ape was enveloped in rolling black mist, and his mind and state were somewhat different from before.

A rash intervention might make the situation even more complicated.

After a slight hesitation, he decided to wait and see for now.

After all, this anomaly had affected inanimate objects and even the Golden Eagle within his cells, so it shouldn't be fatal; it would only cause his bloodline to change.

And as Lu Yu gazed at the Golden Ape, the black mist within him seemed to accumulate to a certain extreme.

His protruding muscles began to harden, and his golden skin continuously cracked.

The resulting cracks crisscrossed his body, forming a dense black spiderweb.

And within the black cracks, rolling black mist, like smoke signals, freely ascended from them, soaring into the sky, forming an exceptionally striking black pillar of smoke.

All the fierce beasts and people within the Tianyu Sect were stunned, mouths agape; this was the first time they had witnessed such a situation.

From the aura emanating from the black mist, even from a distance, they vaguely sensed a certain danger and ominousness.

The other fierce beasts who were cultivating within the sect all stopped what they were doing.

They looked up at the direction from which the black mist was coming, intending to go and investigate thoroughly.

After all, if something went wrong within the sect, they would be ashamed to face the Venerable Lord.

“What a strange black mist; just seeing it makes my fur stand on end.”

“I've seen all kinds of evil auras, but this is the first time I've encountered one like this, like a demonic aura that corrupts one's consciousness~”

As they approached the place where the black mist was rising, the fierce beasts discussed the matter.

The Tianyu Sect was currently as stable as a rock, but once a disturbance occurred, it indicated that the matter might be extraordinary.

“It seems to be coming from the main hall where the Venerable Lord resides!”

“Could it be that the Venerable Lord's strength has had another great breakthrough?”

“Only the Venerable Lord could trigger such a celestial phenomenon, but why is this aura so strange?!”

Many fierce beasts looked puzzled.

“At the Venerable Lord's level, it's beyond what you and I can comprehend.”

“With the Venerable Lord's strength, nothing unexpected will happen; all of this must be within the Venerable Lord's expectations.”

Although curious, none of them rashly rushed into the main hall.

And at this moment, Lu Yu's voice reached the ears of many fierce beasts.

“You all may descend; the Golden Ape has gained enlightenment and made a breakthrough, which is not a bad thing.”

Just now, the Golden Ape had regained his consciousness and clarity.

Compared to before, the Golden Ape, while largely still golden and radiant, now had cracked black fissures that resembled bottomless abysses, from which rolling black mist continuously emerged, transforming him into a monstrous Golden Demon Ape.

His aura had already reached the mid-B-rank.

The white bone great rod, which was about to attack him, was already trembling.

From the aura emanating from the Golden Ape at this moment, even it felt a deep sense of malevolence.

And the Golden Ape, or rather the Golden Demon Ape, suddenly raised his hand and made a grasping motion towards the great rod.

An irresistible will emanated from deep within the great rod, quickly flying into the Golden Demon Ape's hand.

And at this moment, a domineering aura that suppressed all things surged from the Golden Demon Ape's palm, directly piercing through the will that had emerged within the great rod!

As if he were the only one in this heaven and earth!
