Chapter 92: The Ancient Dragon Ape
"Run!"
Seeing their leader reduced to ashes, the members of the Blood Hawk Martial Hall fled in panic, fearing they might be next. The members of the Eagle Martial Hall, meanwhile, stared at Xiao Tian in shock.
Most of them were relatively weak and had only seen Luo Jiu turn into a pile of ashes from a distance. This terrifying display of power left them deeply shaken. Only Jiang Lei sensed that a strange flame had appeared within Luo Jiu's body, further cementing Xiao Tian's mysterious and formidable nature in his mind.
"Brother Jiang Lei," Xiao Tian addressed him with a smile, "since the matter with the Blood Hawk Martial Hall has been resolved, we will take our leave now."
"Brother Xiao Tian," Jiang Lei hurried over and handed Xiao Tian a parchment map, saying, "This is a map of the Great Wilderness County, and it includes the location of the Great Wilderness Ancient Monument."
"Thank you, Brother Jiang. Farewell, until we meet again," Xiao Tian said, cupping his hands before turning to leave.
"Take care, Young Master Xiao!" Jiang Xue called out, her gaze filled with reluctance. Little Yinyin ran alongside, shouting, "Big Brother Xiao Tian, come back and see Yinyin!"
Xiao Tian turned, waved, and smiled, "I will."
After leaving Daying City, Xiao Tian and his group didn't head straight for the Great Wilderness Ancient Monument. Instead, they traveled to the Northern Ancient Ravine of the Great Wilderness County. Xiao Tian aimed to collect the ancient dragon ape's blood for Lin Dong and obtain the Ten Thousand Beast Fruit for himself. He planned to use the Ten Thousand Beast Fruit to refine his body and see if it could perfect his Great Sun Thunder Body. If perfected, his physical strength alone would rival a Dou Zong-level cultivator.
Standing atop a towering peak, Xiao Tian and his group gazed at the massive mountain range ahead. Even from afar, they could feel the powerful auras emanating from the Northern Ancient Ravine. Xiao Tian turned to the others and said, "That's the Northern Ancient Ravine. Let's go in."
With that, the group headed into the Northern Ancient Ravine. Along the way, they encountered numerous people and some beasts. However, since they were still on the outskirts, the strongest beasts were only at the Yuan Dan realm, posing no threat to them. Some individuals had malicious intentions toward Qing Tan and Little Doctor Immortal due to their beauty, but those individuals ended up dead. As the number of deaths increased, no one dared to covet them any longer.
The group continued deeper into the ravine, encountering increasingly powerful beasts, some even at the Creation realm. Any beast that crossed their path was swiftly slain, and its beast core consumed by Little Flame. After a day of traveling, they finally reached their destination.
Looking ahead, Xiao Tian saw a massive valley littered with bones, exuding an overwhelming and violent aura. In the center was a colossal shadow, a sight that commanded respect and fear.
It was a pitch-black giant ape, appearing as if sculpted from iron, with a cold, powerful sheen indicating immense strength. Its face was ferocious, and on its forehead was a sharp black horn covered in ancient, complex runes, exuding an aura of ancient power.
Zi Yan stared at the giant ape and said, "I feel a bloodline in it somewhat similar to mine."
Qing Lin asked, "So, are you also a monkey?"
"You're the monkey!" Zi Yan glared at Qing Lin and said, "This giant ape's bloodline is unusual."
"That's because it has dragon blood in it," Xiao Tian explained. "This ancient dragon ape has a bit of dragon blood. The horn on its head is a dragon horn."
Zi Yan tilted her head and murmured, "So, my true form is a dragon?"
"A dragon?" The group looked at Zi Yan with changed expressions. Dragons were known as extremely powerful beings. However, the cute and seemingly low-leveled Zi Yan didn't fit their image of a dragon.
Feeling their gazes, Zi Yan threatened, "What are you looking at? I'll eat you if you keep staring!" Her fierce yet adorable demeanor made her look even cuter rather than threatening.
"Alright," Xiao Tian interrupted, "You all hide nearby. I'll handle this ancient dragon ape."
With that, he summoned his Dou Qi wings and flew into the sky. A powerful aura radiated from his body.
"Roar!" Sensing Xiao Tian's presence, the ancient dragon ape looked up and roared, the sound shaking the mountains and making countless beasts tremble in fear. Treasure hunters in the area turned pale and fled.
Flying above, Xiao Tian saw the valley filled with bones and a thick stench of blood. The ancient dragon ape appeared as a terrifying beast of immense power. However, Xiao Tian remained unfazed. Although the ape was at the Small Accomplishment of the Creation Stage and enhanced by dragon blood, making it comparable to the Great Accomplishment of the Creation Stage, Xiao Tian's cultivation was no weaker. His physical strength was formidable, and he had mastered many advanced Dou techniques and possessed strange flames. Confident in his abilities, Xiao Tian was sure he could defeat the beast.
"Roar!" The ancient dragon ape roared again, its fist, as large as a small mountain, striking at Xiao Tian. The terrifying force made the surrounding air vibrate. Even Creation Stage warriors wouldn't dare to take it head-on. But Xiao Tian met the massive fist with his own, resulting in a deafening explosion that echoed through the valley. The ground and mountains trembled, and the ancient dragon ape staggered back. It was evident that in the clash, the ape had lost.
"The Great Sun Thunder Body is really powerful!" Lin Dong exclaimed, his eyes shining as he watched Xiao Tian.
The ancient dragon ape, seeing its defeat, beat its chest in anger. Black light surged from its body, forming a black armor. With a roar, it punched at Xiao Tian again.
"I'm not playing with you anymore," Xiao Tian said coldly, summoning an invisible flame with his left hand. The ancient dragon ape's body erupted with invisible heart fire. The excruciating pain made it abandon its attack to focus on quelling the flames burning its body. Taking advantage, Xiao Tian summoned the Tianlin Ancient Halberd with his right hand.
"Tianlin Halberd Technique: Sky Dragon Halberd!"
