30: Chapter 30: Isn't this drawing just too ugly?

An old man in white, with white hair and beard, dressed like a eunuch, spoke with a fawning smile on his lips and his body slightly bowed.

It is said that the Wan Family was once the royal kin of the previous dynasty in the Central Plains. After the fall of the previous dynasty's royal family, the Wan Family Old Ancestor fled to the Taixu Realm and founded the current Myriad Beast Sect.

To this day, the Wan Family still retains a royal tradition of assigning a eunuch servant to every young master of the Wan Family, who accompanies the young master from childhood and protects him personally.

Veins bulged on Wan Yichen's forehead as he suddenly exerted force with his foot, kicking away the map given by the Old Ancestor!

Like a fallen leaf on an autumn morning, the map spun in the air, teased by the wind, and drifted away in the direction of the sun.

Wan Yichen leaned against a nearby tree trunk, panting heavily.

"Old Zhuang, you lead the way!"

"As you command! Young Master, please follow me!"

The cry of an eagle tore through the sky, soaring upwards!

A hundred-zhang giant eagle, its entire body ablaze with crackling flames, flapped its wings and descended from the sky, leading the members of the Myriad Beast Sect as they flew toward the ten thousand year spirit fruit!

The good news is that they finally found the ten thousand year spirit fruit.

The bad news is that there is a hundred-zhang Giant Strength Immortal Ape fast asleep right next to the ten thousand year spirit fruit!

"Snore!..."

The Giant Strength Immortal Ape had its eyes closed, a huge snot bubble emerging from its nose, snoring away in deep slumber!

The snoring of the Giant Strength Immortal Ape shook the ground violently, making pebbles jump and dust swirl!

The Giant Strength Immortal Ape's mouth curled into a lecherous smile as it hugged an ancient spirit plant as if it were a beautiful maiden.

Growing on the ancient spirit plant was a ten thousand year spirit fruit, and a rich medicinal fragrance mixed with wisps of fairy-white Spiritual Qi emanated from the walnut-sized ten thousand year spirit fruit!

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the ten thousand year spirit fruit was grafted onto the ancient spirit plant, and the grafting was done extremely uglily!

That's right, this was the very ten thousand year spirit fruit that the mother of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, the Thousand-Year Immortal Fox, risked her life to seize for it!

After the Giant Strength Immortal Ape killed the Thousand-Year Immortal Fox and snatched the ten thousand year spirit fruit, it did not eat it immediately but instead grafted the ten thousand year spirit fruit back onto the ancient spirit plant.

The reason was simple: in one more day, the ten thousand year spirit fruit would fully mature, and its medicinal efficacy would double!

In Wan Yichen's dark brown eyes, the walnut-sized ten thousand year spirit fruit, emitting wisps of fairy-white Spiritual Qi, was reflected; his face was full of wild joy, and the corners of his mouth curled upward, revealing a set of stark white teeth!

Wan Yichen turned to the members of the Myriad Beast Sect, stretched out his slender, fair hands, and frantically made all sorts of strange gestures!

Finally, he signaled that the Ten Thousand Longevity Sect could attack!

The members of the Myriad Beast Sect were shocked, looking at the Young Sect Master before them with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, unable to understand a single gesture!

"I'm saying we should surround this Giant Strength Divine Ape, then use the Immortal Binding Rope to tie it up, and then go pick the ten thousand year spirit fruit, did you hear that clearly?"

Wan Yichen's eyes bulged as he roared!

"Oh!..."

The members of the Myriad Beast Sect looked enlightened, the corners of their mouths curled upward, and they nodded vigorously!

But at the same time, the Giant Strength Divine Ape, which had been in its sleep, also understood!

Thump! Thump! Thump!...

The Giant Strength Immortal Ape's eyes bulged, its mouth twitched slightly, and it flipped over and stood up; the earth shook violently as if there were an earthquake, following the movements of the Giant Strength Divine Ape!

Stones rolled down along the mountainside, kicking up clouds of dust!

The Giant Strength Divine Ape was a full hundred zhang tall, looking down at the members of the Ten Thousand Longevity Sect as if they were ants!

Roar!

The Giant Strength Divine Ape opened its fangs and roared at the crowd, and a viscous yellow-brown liquid sprayed out from between its fangs!

"Follow me and kill this beast!"

The forty-plus Late Qi Refining Stage Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Longevity Sect moved simultaneously!

Roars of beasts erupted and soared into the sky, making people's eardrums tremble and ache faintly!

Dozens of Spirit Beasts, each several tens of zhang in size, flew out from the Spirit Storage Bags, their eyes bulging, baring their stark white fangs, whipping out their scarlet long tongues, and charging toward the hundred-zhang Giant Strength Divine Ape!

The forty-plus Cultivators of the Myriad Beast Sect suddenly exerted force with their feet, turning into streaks of light, leaving several afterimages in the void, and stomped fiercely onto the heads of the dozens of Spirit Beasts!

The forty-plus Cultivators of the Myriad Beast Sect bit their thumbs, quickly formed a blood seal with both hands, and slapped it hard onto the heads of the Spirit Beasts!

Roar! Roar! Roar!...

The heads of the forty-plus Spirit Beasts jerked backward, and then they suddenly opened their bloody mouths and spat out forcefully!

Over forty hundred-zhang python blood shadows, twisting their fat bodies, drilled out from the mouths of the Spirit Beasts and soared into the sky! Baring their cold-glinting fangs, they bit fiercely toward the neck of the Giant Strength Divine Ape!

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Awoo!

The sound of flesh being blown apart mixed with the screams of the Giant Strength Divine Ape soared into the sky, making people's hair stand on end and their scalps tingle!

The Giant Strength Divine Ape was instantly blown apart by the forty-plus hundred-zhang python blood shadows, its flesh torn and mangled, warm blood mixed with bits of flesh spraying out, revealing stark white bones, and the rust-like smell of blood soared into the sky, instantly permeating the entire battlefield!

"Release the talismans! Kill this Giant Strength Divine Ape directly!"

The forty-plus Cultivators of the Myriad Beast Sect, standing on the heads of the dozens of Spirit Beasts, quickly formed seals with their hands, offered up one after another Top-Grade Foundation Establishment Realm Attack Talismanic Incantations, and slashed them fiercely toward the Giant Strength Divine Ape!

Sword after sword of hundred-zhang immortal swords, spinning with sword blossoms, tore through the air and slashed fiercely onto the neck of the Giant Strength Divine Ape!

Hammer after hammer of hundred-zhang giant hammers descended from the sky, smashing fiercely onto the head of the Giant Strength Divine Ape!

Spear after spear of hundred-zhang immortal spears tore through the air, creating wisps of white smoke from friction, and pierced fiercely into the center of the Giant Strength Divine Ape's brow!

The sound of bones shattering mixed with the miserable screams of the Giant Strength Divine Ape soared into the sky, making people's hearts tremble and their scalps tingle!

Even if the Giant Strength Divine Ape was an Ancient Divine Beast, even if the Giant Strength Divine Ape had already Cultivated to the Early Stage of the Golden Core Realm!

So what?

The Myriad Beast Sect had thrown out over four hundred Top-Grade Foundation Establishment Realm Attack Talismanic Incantations!

This was equivalent to over four hundred Peak Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Realm experts simultaneously unleashing their strongest strike, slashing fiercely toward the Giant Strength Divine Ape.

The cold night wind gradually blew away the dust kicked up by the battle, and the entire battlefield instantly fell into a silence so profound that a pin dropping could be heard!

"My Myriad Beast Sect has sacrificed over four hundred Top-Grade Foundation Establishment Realm Attack Talismanic Incantations to bury you; that is enough to be worthy of your status as an Ancient Divine Beast!"

Wan Yichen twisted his neck from side to side, cracked his fair knuckles, producing a crisp sound of bone vibration, and turned to walk slowly toward the ten thousand year spirit fruit.

Suddenly!

The Giant Strength Divine Ape, lying in a pool of blood, suddenly stretched out a giant palm covered in bits of flesh and exposed stark white bones, grabbed a dozens-of-zhang-sized Fiery Flame Eagle hovering in mid-air, stuffed it fiercely into its bloody mouth, and chewed vigorously!

The sound of bones shattering mixed with miserable screams gushed out from the bloody mouth of the Giant Strength Divine Ape, making one's scalp tingle!

The Giant Strength Divine Ape supported itself on the ground and slowly stood up!

Thump! Thump! Thump!...

The earth shook violently with the movements of the Giant Strength Divine Ape, pebbles jumping everywhere and kicking up clouds of dust!

The Giant Strength Divine Ape was covered in blood, nearly half of its flesh having been blown away, revealing stark white bones!

The Giant Strength Divine Ape's Adam's apple rolled, and it swallowed the chewed-up Fiery Flame Eagle, coated in saliva, with a gulp!

Sizzle!

The sound of flesh growing mixed with the sound of muscles rubbing against each other suddenly rang out, and the body of the Giant Strength Divine Ape actually grew several new pieces of flesh!

The Giant Strength Divine Ape was indeed worthy of being an Ancient Divine Beast; it could actually fight to nourish itself! It could devour other Spirit Beasts to recover from its own injuries!

The Giant Strength Divine Ape's eyes bulged, its eyeballs covered in earthworm-like blood vessels, and it bared a set of blood-filled fangs, roaring fiercely at the members of the Myriad Beast Sect!

A viscous liquid mixed with blood threads sprayed out from between its fangs, splashing all over the faces of the crowd!

The Giant Strength Divine Ape suddenly exerted force with its feet and soared into the sky, its stark white blood-stained palm grabbing two more dozens-of-zhang-sized Flying Pythons, stuffing them fiercely into its bloody mouth, and chewing vigorously with an expression of intoxication!

Blood flowed like a babbling stream down the corners of the Giant Strength Divine Ape's mouth, pattering onto the ground and splashing into flowers of blood, staining the cold ground of the battlefield with a smear of crimson!

Spirit Beasts could be said to be the lifeblood of the Myriad Beast Sect Disciples!

Seeing their Spirit Beasts die miserably, the Myriad Beast Sect Disciples' foreheads bulged with veins, their mouths twitched slightly, and their teeth gnashed together with a clattering sound!

The Myriad Beast Sect Disciples' eyes were bloodshot; they quickly formed seals with their hands, offered up their trump card Magic Treasures, Talismanic Incantations, and techniques, and slashed them fiercely toward the Giant Strength Divine Ape!

...

Jiang Lan turned into a streak of white light, leaving several white afterimages in the void, and rushed toward the Spirit Medicine Immortal Trace Ruins!

Suddenly!

Hum!

A deep metallic vibration suddenly rang out, and the void cauldron actually lit up with green light!

"What the f*ck!? Why is this void cauldron glowing?"

"Could it be that there is an Opportunity for This Divine Emperor here?"

Clang!

Accompanied by a crisp metallic clashing sound, Jiang Lan took the void cauldron out from his immortal ring and smashed it hard onto the ground!

The northwest corner of the void cauldron was actually glowing with green light!

The void cauldron is an Immortal Artifact; anything that can make it react must certainly not be an ordinary object!

Jiang Lan suddenly exerted force with his feet, turned into a streak of white light, and flew toward the northwest!

"What the f*ck!? Could This Divine Emperor's Opportunity be just this piece of cowhide paper?"

Jiang Lan bent down and picked up the old cowhide map on the ground that was covered in footprints!

It was precisely the distribution map of the ten thousand year spirit fruit that the Wan Family Old Ancestor had given to Wan Yichen.

It had been stepped on a few times by Wan Yichen and then kicked away!

Jiang Lan looked at the map covered in footprints in his hand, his eyebrows knitting into the shape of the character " river"!

Who the f*ck drew this map? Isn't this drawing just a bit too ugly?

Clang!

Accompanied by a crisp metallic clashing sound, Jiang Lan threw the map, which was drawn like chicken scratch, into the void cauldron to be strengthened!

The Gao Family Three Siblings stepped on their Flying Swords, tearing through the air and creating wisps of white smoke from friction, and finally caught up!

The three of them leaned against rocks, bent over, and panted heavily!

"Lord Divine Emperor, we finally… caught up to you, you ran too fast!"

Suddenly!

A crisp metallic clashing sound mixed with miserable screams came from the due north direction!

Jiang Lan suddenly exerted force with his feet, turned into a streak of white light, leaving several afterimages in the void, and rushed toward the due north direction!

"Eh? Lord Divine Emperor, why are you leaving again? Wait for us!"
