Chapter 695: 0430 Crusade Against the Ape King (Requesting monthly tickets and subscriptions)_2
Wan Tiangong laughed and said: "Forget it, let’s hand over the position of team leader to Mr. Lu. I have just recovered from my injuries and won’t be taking action before, but I trust Mr. Lu."
Beside him, the Grandmasters of Galaxy Martial University all had a change in expression. They knew that although Wan Tiangong was injured by that bizarre Demon King’s Burst Seed, he had already healed under the treatment of Earth Immortal Dew.
It seems Wan Tiangong doesn’t want to compete. As a Heavenly Pride Grandmaster, this lacks Qi-Po, and his spirit has fallen to a lower grade.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else had a change in expression.
Setting aside reputation, in fact, most people’s hearts would certainly trust Wan Tiangong’s strength, which is superior by a margin.
Unexpectedly, he directly avoided the battle.
Is Lu Chenzhou really that terrifying?
Lu Chenzhou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wan."
"Since this is the case, for this mission to hunt the Lion Ape King, Lu Chenzhou will serve as team leader and Wan Tiangong as deputy. You all develop the strategy yourselves to avoid casualties and be wary of the Demon Ghost forces."
...
Back at the base, a Grandmaster from the Galaxy War Group asked Wan Tiangong puzzledly: "Brother Wan, why did you let Lu Chenzhou take it? There’s no need to be modest about this kind of thing."
Wan Tiangong wiped his Top Class Divine Weapon [Star Stream Saber] and laughed: "It’s just a team leader position, no need to compete for it, as there is no substantive benefit. When we defeat the Lion Ape King, exert our efforts in competing for the mineral vein, that is the proper way. Once I capture the Ape King, I am confident I can defeat everyone in the Martial Competition and secure mining rights."
"Brother Wan, your ’Chaotic Star Saber’ has succeeded?"
Wan Tiangong may be strong, but compared to the other top five contestants on the Heavenly List, not yet stunningly leading. His confidence has only one possibility. Everyone suddenly comprehended.
Wan Tiangong nodded slightly, his aura like a dragon.
"It’s done, let’s not publicize this for now, during the Martial Competition, let’s give the other War Groups a... surprise."
"That’s fantastic!"
After surviving deadly battles the other day, Wan Tiangong had an inspiration, successfully perfected the ’Chaotic Star Saber’, and mastered the extremely powerful [Chaotic Star Nine Flashes], while also comprehending a Martial Arts Killing Move. Now, with a full burst, he has confidence to kill a Middle Realm Great Demon King.
No matter how strong Lu Chenzhou is, facing this one blade, unless advancing to Great Grandmaster, he has no hope of victory.
Other Great Grandmasters would find it even more difficult.
After intense preparations for a month, a squad of 40 people quietly left the base, heading towards [Drunken Immortal Lake] in the extreme East of the small realm.
For this mission to hunt the Ape King, everyone has cooperated and practiced for a long time, and Dragon and Tiger along with True Martial Palace have even prepared a joint formation named [Beidou Seven Stars Demon Suppressing Formation].
This formation, borrowed from Qi Refiner array knowledge, belongs to the Fourth Rank multi-person array, constructed by 28 Grandmasters, gathering everyone’s True Gang Power, forming a barrier type sealing field covering a kilometer radius. Within this field, the Lion Ape King’s power is limited; the true combat level should be comparable to a normal End Realm Grandmaster.
Without the array, even eight Heavenly Pride Grandmasters would not dare easily challenge the Ape King. After all, the realm difference is too great, even if victorious, both sides would suffer.
...
Drunken Immortal Lake.
Amidst vast ripples, surrounded by immortal aura.
On an island in the center of the lake, a giant ape at least a hundred meters tall lies sleeping like a mountain, surrounded by rare birds and mutant beasts.
In this small realm, especially at Drunken Immortal Lake, the Ape King is nearly invincible; neither the Demon King Hall nor Myriad Ghost Cave would bother it without good reason. The Ape King lives a very comfortable life.
Suddenly, above the island, eight void rifts appeared, leading the group was a burly man dressed in pitch-black Treasure Armor, holding a Long Spear, none other than Lu Chenzhou.
"Take action!"
With those words, eight Initial Realm Grandmasters simultaneously made moves, using a simplified Eight Trigrams Array to form a joint force, with Lu Chenzhou, skilled in defense, and Mingxin located at the Qian and Kun positions. The eight combined to stir the celestial phenomena in the area, forming eight towering energy walls that surrounded the sleeping Lion Ape King.
At the same time, part of the leading Grandmasters went to tackle Fourth Rank Mutant Beasts, subdued the small fry. Mutant Beasts are rare resources, capturing them alive has greater value, therefore, the group only knocked them half dead, without execution.
On the other hand, 28 Grandmasters, led by a group of Daoist-robed Martial Arts Grandmasters, rapidly formed the Beidou Seven Stars Array. Metallic Array Flags forged from Divine Weapons were inserted around the island, arranged like the Dipper.
These years, led by the Daoist sect with initial array foundation, humanity’s research on arrays has deepened, already preliminarily mastering a few practical military formations.
The Grandmasters’ Four Seas True Gang circulated, absorbed by the Divine Weapon Array Flags, triggering its divine and extraordinary power.
The Beidou Seven Stars Demon Suppressing Formation began its operation!
Swish!
The True Gang from 28 Grandmasters linked through the array as a hub, their Qi-Blood like smoke trails straight up into the sky, forming a vast cosmic phenomenon that overhangs the island.
In an instant,
Invisible suppressive force came,
The just awakened Lion Ape King opened its eyes the size of water jars, two beams of golden light shot straight to the Heavenly Heart, terrifying and dread-inducing.
"Roar!"
The Ape King let out a low growl, looking at the tiny figures surrounding it, a disdainful smirk actually appeared at the corner of its mouth. Casually, it picked up a hundred-meter long stone column from the ground, intricately engraved with mysterious patterns, and swung it toward the sky.
Facing absolute power, even the simplest move sets off a thousand-meter tempest, the rod’s momentum clears the clouds within a hundred miles, space shattered like a dense spider web.
Struck first in the attack was Wan Tiangong, in the Ape King’s perception, this is the strongest, the only one that might pose a threat among the tiny figures.
Wan Tiangong’s expression changed slightly, so many people, yet they’re targeting me? He steeled himself, his True Gang surged into the long saber like a flood, his intention and domain erupted, chopping with one blade!
Upon collision, Wan Tiangong groaned inwardly, his figure retreated into the void, his hands trembling violently, and his internal organs seemed about to shatter. Others seeing this, their expressions grew more grave.
Even weakened to End Realm by the formation, the Ape King’s casual strike left Wan Tiangong so strained. The mutant beast’s high realm is one thing; more importantly, its power is too terrifying, feared to rival a Top Level Horizontal Training Great Grandmaster.
Within the leading Grandmasters, those of the same realm that could barely contest it in power, feared only Ding Yuan Monk who practiced ’Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Divine Skill’ could do so.
"Wan Tiangong retreat, Mingxin advance!"
Lu Chenzhou’s voice arrived.
A white-robed monk appeared behind, with Dragon Subduing Arhat Qi-Po solidification, shrouded in a Vajra Unbreakable giant bell.
Lu Chenzhou’s figure moved like a phoenix, flashed behind the Ape King; his aura soared, the Long Spear grew with the wind, Dragon and Tiger followed, the giant tree covering the sky, pressing down with the myriad lights!
On the other side,
Dream Ring lightly touched the void with toes, fingers danced as incantations were muttered, a phantom seven-color serpent, its tail in its mouth, fell atop the giant ape’s head like a Tightening Spell. This was a Spiritual Attack constantly corroding the Ape King’s mind.
Everyone employed their respective techniques, controls, killing moves, and defensive skills frequent, wanting to defeat the Ape King, not an ounce of mistake was allowed, or they’d be picked off one by one.
Boom!
The Ape King couldn’t withstand assault from all sides; it smashed apart Mingxin’s giant bell with one swipe and swept several Grandmasters away again.
It cried out in pain, behind it was a tiny figure, whose Long Spear stabbed into its kidney, the endless force of vengeful souls surged through the spear-tip, invading its body and eroding its power.
Visible to the naked eye, the Ape King weakened considerably.
Myriad Soul Devouring Body!
One of the strongest moves currently mastered by Lu Chenzhou, the more vengeful souls within the Tiger Soul Spear, the more powerful it becomes. Vengeful souls cause sustained damage until fully extinguished.
Compared to Qin Hui, at this strike he’d have bid farewell by now. But the Ape King, as a mutant beast, with unparalleled constitution, only received minor injuries, it twisted its form, countered with the stone pillar, smashing towards Lu Chenzhou.
Lu Chenzhou flashed away, using [Night Phoenix Form] which stacked Night King and Bai Feng, narrowly avoiding the strike.
The stone column lightly grazed him, but shook the Immortal Armor to vibrate buzzing; if directly hit, it would shatter instantaneously, facing such a wide area impact by blunt force, Flowing Water Body finds it difficult to block unharmed.
Currently, his whole body, the only part that can withstand one hit is the Glazed Skull that is tougher than Top Class Divine Weapon.
As time passed, relying on the battle formation’s might, although the eight Great Grandmasters were at risk, they steadily suppressed the giant ape.
