172: The terrifying violent ape

Qing Lan led the human race's powerhouses, also approaching the central edge of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

Besides Great Sage Nanze, there were two other unfamiliar powerhouses.

One was a cold-faced man in battle armor, and the other was a young boy with short hair and indifferent eyes, as if he had seen through the mortal world.

However, the aura emanating from him was in no way weaker than Great Sage Nanze; in fact, it seemed to subtly surpass him.

All of them were Great Sage Realm powerhouses.

Over the past ten thousand years, the human race had grown increasingly powerful, with various geniuses and prodigies emerging endlessly, adding considerable depth to the human race.

This was also the main reason why, apart from the demon race, the other Three Top Races were somewhat restless and couldn't sit still.

They would not allow the existing balance to be broken, so they began to collude in secret, targeting the human race, and many cross-border wars had erupted.

Furthermore, this era seemed to be different from all previous ones; the heavens and earth had undergone many anomalies, and the power of the Great Dao was at its peak.

It was as if it heralded the arrival of a golden age. If the prediction came true, this era would see everyone as dragons, with peerless heavenly prodigies dominating the universe.

This also prompted the Top Races with premonitions to prepare in advance... As time passed, the first wave of powerhouses, from the demon race, finally arrived at the location where the immortal egg descended.

Soon, wave after wave of powerhouses arrived. With the human race's final entry, the situation between the two sides became tense, with swords drawn and bows bent.

One side was the Three-Race Alliance, composed of the immortal, spirit, and Nether Races.

The other side was an alliance formed by the human and demon races.

The auras emanating from the more than a thousand powerhouses on both sides caused the surrounding space to crack and shatter continuously.

Any single powerhouse chosen from among them would be a hegemonic figure in any realm across the continent.

"Hehehe, our Five Great Top-Tier Races are all equally matched. How can the two of you contend against the three of us?"

"I advise you to retreat as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary casualties!"

The Half-step God Realm powerhouse of the Nether Race spoke first, his tone sinister.

"If you're not convinced, come fight! Why waste words!"

Just as Qing Lan was about to speak, the armored Great Sage beside him retorted unceremoniously.

He showed no regard for the opponent being a Half-step God Realm powerhouse.

Hearing this, the Half-step God Realm powerhouse's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flashing within them. He said sinisterly, "Are all the juniors of your human race so ill-mannered?"

"Qing Lan hasn't even spoken, so what are you?"

"Stop acting like an old-timer; respect depends on the person. Scum like your Nether Race isn't worthy!"

Great Sage Bao Yuan from the demon race camp grinned widely, looking utterly fearless.

Being retorted by two juniors, the Nether Race's Half-step God Realm powerhouse's face fell, looking extremely displeased.

Seeing this, the Great Sage powerhouse of the Nether Race immediately stepped forward and reprimanded, "The human and demon races are indeed birds of a feather! If you want to fight, we'll accompany you to the end!"

"Good, I was waiting for that! You scoundrel, come fight!"

Great Sage Bao Yuan's aura surged, his fighting spirit high.

"You're courting death!"

The Great Sage powerhouse of the Nether Race also lost his temper. With a flicker of his body, he leaped to the center between the two alliance camps.

The Half-step God Realm powerhouses of the demon and Nether Races did not voice any objections, clearly sharing the same idea: to let their subordinates crush the opponent's morale.

"Haha."

Great Sage Bao Yuan's face lit up with joy. He also leaped to the center, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"I'll smash your dog's head!"

Great Sage Bao Yuan did not immediately transform into his original form. Instead, he condensed a black glow in his right hand and violently punched it towards the opponent.

The power was so immense that the space in front of him completely exploded and collapsed.

"Hmph!"

The Nether Race Great Sage snorted coldly, unwilling to show weakness, and raised his right fist to meet the attack.

Boom!

The two fist imprints collided, erupting in rolling airwaves. The ground beneath them continuously cracked, forming a massive rift valley, split into two halves.

Thump, thump, thump!

The Great Sage powerhouse of the Nether Race's body trembled, and he retreated several hundred feet backward.

With a single exchange, the victor was clear: Great Sage Bao Yuan was far superior in his mastery of the physical body.

Coupled with his racial characteristics, few among his peers could rival his terrifying strength.

The Nether Race Great Sage felt humiliated under everyone's gaze. He roared in anger and surged forward again.

He condensed a chain in his hand and swung it towards the opponent.

Clang, clang, clang.

The chain emitted a harsh sound, piercing through the void, and lashed towards Great Sage Bao Yuan.

The latter curled his lips in disdain, not intending to dodge, and continued to unleash a fist imprint.

Clang.

The fist and chain collided with the sound of clashing metal, but this time, it was an even match.

The chain was not directly shattered by the fist imprint; instead, it used the rebound force to change direction and wrapped around his ankle again.

This unexpected attack caught Great Sage Bao Yuan off guard. The chain continuously wrapped upward from his ankle.

Like a giant python, it quickly bound Great Sage Bao Yuan, leaving him unable to move.

"Hehehe, the demon race's Great Sage is nothing special. His bark is not as strong as his bite!"

The Great Sage powerhouse of the Nether Race couldn't help but mock.

"Do you think this flimsy thing can bind your Ape Grandpa?"

Great Sage Bao Yuan, though bound, showed no change in expression; instead, he seemed somewhat excited.

Roar!

Suddenly, a massive beast roar shook the void.

Everyone saw a violent ape, hundreds of feet tall, appear out of thin air. The original binding chain immediately disintegrated into nothingness.

Great Sage Bao Yuan roared to the sky, beating his chest with both hands, his eyes blood-red, an aura of savagery pervading the air.

Without another word, his entire body leaped up, like a divine mountain pressing down, and sat towards the Great Sage of the Nether Race.

The latter's face showed a hint of surprise, and he instinctively tried to retreat, but was fiercely struck by the violent ape's descending tail.

His entire body flew backward, the terrifying, steel-whip-like power of the tail penetrating his body, causing a trace of blackish-red blood to spill from his mouth.

Damn it!

The Nether Race Great Sage felt immense pressure and no longer concealed himself. Black mist swirled around him, soaring into the sky, and a dark battle saber appeared in his hand.

"Nine Nether Demonic Flame Saber, cleave!"

He roared, and wisps of chilling, ghostly fire rose from the battle saber in his hand, extremely cold, as he slashed a blow towards Great Sage Bao Yuan's massive body.

The black saber light tore through the void, cutting open a huge gap, unstoppable as it descended through the air.

"Excellent!"

"Mad Ape Annihilation Fist!"

Great Sage Bao Yuan, instead of being angry, laughed. His colossal body leaped up like a black meteorite, clenching both hands into fists, and fiercely smashed them towards the saber light.

Not good!

The incredibly powerful might made the Nether Race Half-step God Realm's eyelids twitch. He wanted to stop it, for he had a premonition that if this move successfully landed...

His Nether Race's Great Sage powerhouse would likely not be an opponent, and might even be at risk of falling.

However, his actions were naturally noticed by Qing Lan and the demon race Half-step God Realm. Under the lock of their divine senses, even if the opponent wanted to intervene, they could block him in time.

Sure enough, Great Sage Bao Yuan's terrifying fist imprint crushed the saber light to dust with overwhelming force, its power undiminished as it slammed into the Nether Race Great Sage.

"Ah!"

The Nether Race Great Sage screamed, covered in blood, his aura weak, and was about to flee.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Great Sage Bao Yuan had no intention of letting him go. A black flash, and a fist like a small mountain, smashed towards the opponent!

The threat of death enveloped the heart of the Nether Race Great Sage.
