Chapter 699: 0433 Despairingly Powerful (Requesting monthly tickets and subscriptions)

"Yuan Jiugong..."

Lu Chenzhou murmured the true name of the Ape God Patriarch.

Viewed throughout history, he was likely the most powerful among the non-divine beings of the Ape Clan, capable of advising the Emperor Zhan and earning his respect. Just obtaining a fragment of his legacy is an opportunity innumerable Martial Arts Grandmasters in the human world dream of, second only to the Water Mansion.

[In my youth, I was fond of the Stick Technique. However, as a mutant beast, my aptitude was dull. I entered Dao through the stick, and after thirty thousand years, I finally became a True Spirit of the Nine and Nine... The inheritance statues I left are three: the first is of my youth, at the Mountain Realm, and only Mountain Realm cultivators can challenge it; the second is of my middle age, at the Sea Realm, only Sea Realm practitioners can challenge it; the third is of my old age, at the Heavenly Realm, only Heavenly Realm practitioners can challenge it...]

Lu Chenzhou understood.

"I choose the statue from the middle age period."

[The realm of the inheritance statue automatically matches the challenger’s, both parties may not use divine weapons, treasures, or magical objects, and must battle using the standard war weapons of the Heavenly Fighting Sect. These war weapons are difficult to damage but possess no divine attributes.]

As the words fell silent.

Lu Chenzhou’s divine armor turned into countless streams of particles, flowing into his body. A certain law descended, sealing his divine weapon within, rendering it unusable.

This, Lu Chenzhou could understand.

When a Great Power seeks an heir, it most tests talent, comprehension, and skill. Gaining power through reliance on external forces like divine weapons and treasures is nothing but castles in the air.

Only one’s own strength is fundamental.

Rumble!

The golden-armored, defiant ape statue moved, the void rippled, emitting a boundless aura of peak End Realm, with threads of Dao Yun swirling around.

Lu Chenzhou narrowed his eyes, murmuring, "This kind of Dao Yun seems to be the purest form of [Power]. Did the Ape God Patriarch walk the path of ultimate strength?"

Swish!

The golden-armored ape said nothing, turning into Vertical Earth Golden Light, appearing in front of Lu Chenzhou in the blink of an eye, its stick technique open and vast, like a hanging Milky Way.

Lu Chenzhou raised his spear to block, the war weapon in his hand humming, an unimaginable force gushed through the spear into his body like a flood, causing his arm muscles to ripple and recoil in waves. He coughed up blood, as golden jade light flowed on his surface, dispersing the force. He flew back like a deformed slime.

Rumble!

Ten miles away, Lu Chenzhou landed, his feet like iron plows, carving two furrows into the earth.

He looked at the ape attacking a second time, finally understanding why lasting three moves was enough to become a registered disciple. He dared to say that 90% of the Grandmasters of Da Xia could not withstand three moves from the Ape God Patriarch at the same realm; such is the terror of a Great Power.

With superb stick techniques, the extreme law of power, and the powerful bloodline of a mutant beast, this golden-armored ape truly kills gods if they stand in its way!

Lu Chenzhou licked his blood, his battle intent soaring.

Self-proclaimed invincible in the same realm, he finally felt the long-awaited pressure. His spear tip entwined with World Dao Yun, the forest’s myriad phenomena world towering, the spear dragging the ground as it rose, unstoppable like a dragon soaring to the heavens!

Bang!

The spear clashed with the iron rod. This time, with preparation, he only retreated five miles before stabilizing. Feeling the tingling of his bones, he couldn’t help but say:

"Though our realms are both End Realm, this ape as a mutant already has over twenty thousand qi-blood, comparable to a human Great Grandmaster. Truly unreasonable. Without being able to activate the Kun Character Technique, I need to work on my technique to endure longer. With ’Flowing Water Body,’ my endurance and defense far surpass most Grandmasters. I aim to last a hundred moves and become a direct disciple!"

The third move, he took the initiative to attack.

The golden ape swung its stick, and all around, stick shadows surrounded Lu Chenzhou like heavenly soldiers and generals.

"Such strong stick technique, and this is called dull aptitude? This beast puts Brother Tiger to shame."

In terms of technique talent alone, the Ape God Patriarch would be among the top levels of human geniuses. It was a great opportunity to hone spear and fist techniques by engaging with the projection power left by such a powerful figure. Lu Chenzhou’s spear burst forth like a mighty tree, shredding the enveloping stick shadows.

Every move in the battle with the golden-armored ape seemed incredibly long. Lu Chenzhou’s gaze was sharp, the Martial Arts Tree in his mind rustling, essence, spirit, and intention unifying, understanding the mysteries of the ape’s stick techniques with his spear techniques, treating every breath as if it were a millennium. Ten moves passed like this.

Ten moves were enough to classify as an outer sect disciple.

It was the limit after obtaining a great opportunity like Wang Xian’s, as for other common Grandmasters, lasting three moves was already quite challenging!

Meanwhile.

Outside the inheritance space, figures were forced to appear, Mr. Turtle gazed calmly, shaking his head repeatedly, having already prepared for this outcome.

"Forty at the Four Realms, presumably elites carefully selected from the human world here, only a third obtained registered disciple qualification, so far, only five have attained outer sect disciple status, none for the inner sect... as for true inheritance, even the Heavenly Battle Ninth Star seems unable to achieve it. The Sky Battle Token automatically lowered the selection criteria in the human world, but I cannot blame them, the patriarch’s inheritance demands are too high."

These people were all excellent.

In Mr. Turtle’s eyes,

Wan Tiangong, Dream Ring, Yue Bufen, Demon Fist Tyrant, Mingxin and some others among the Five Realms, and some from the Four Realms like Wang Xian, all had a fair chance of advancing to the Six Realms, but as to whether they could reach the Seventh Realm, he couldn’t guarantee it.

Leaping to heaven was incredibly difficult.

The Great Wilderness is a region rich in resources and outstanding figures, with billions of living beings. Even when including all major forces and loose cultivators, there are only a few thousand in the Heavenly Realm.

These individuals merely have opportunities. It might be a moment of enlightenment, a celestial treasure, or the late bloom of persistent effort.

The most promising is naturally the candidate of the Heavenly Battle Ninth Star. If this individual does not perish prematurely, there is a high chance of ascending to the Heavenly Realm.

Looking at the human world, this person is already a top figure, proud to stand above all. As for further advancement, reaching the Eight Realms, or even becoming a Great Power, no one can predict—it is too difficult!

In the peak periods of the Great Wilderness, there were only about thirty Great Powers, excluding deities. These are figures standing atop of the Great Wilderness for tens of thousands of years, at the pinnacle of myriad living beings.

After Vice Captain Wan Tiangong exited the Inheritance Space, he counted the people, as expected, only Lu Chenzhou remained inside, likely having hopes of becoming an Inner Sect Disciple.

"The Inheritance Space adapts the power of the statues based on cultivation level. Within the same realm, Lu Chenzhou is undeniably the first in Da Xia, for he cultivates both internally and externally and possesses the True Gang Robe that can challenge a Great Grandmaster. Perhaps he has hopes to withstand the hundred moves, becoming a Direct Disciple.

No...

Lu Chenzhou’s True Gang Robe seems to have been shattered and cannot be restored briefly. He can only rely on his physical body and combat techniques to endure. If it’s like this, trying to survive a hundred moves is very difficult, a pity, not in his prime state."

Wan Tiangong felt regret in his heart and asked, "Sir, can we come here again to receive inheritance?"

Mr. Turtle smiled and said:

"Of course, all disciples of the Heavenly Fighting Sect can come. If there’s someone skilled in stick techniques, even better. There is hope to inherit the ninth rank combat technique of my ancestor."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

"Ninth rank combat technique?"

The supreme divine skills of Da Xia are only at the level of seventh rank combat technique, how strong could a ninth rank technique be?

Of course, it’s certainly difficult to learn.

Without Heavenly Realm cultivation, it’s a waste of time.

Wang Xian asked:

"Elder, how many moves has Lu Chenzhou withstood?"

Mr. Turtle appreciatively said: "He has already withstood 31 moves, earning the qualifications of an Inner Sect Disciple. If he withstands 69 more moves, that would be enough to obtain the Direct Disciple qualification... However, looking at his condition, it seems he has reached some limits."

Wang Xian hurriedly said: "My junior just experienced a fierce battle, his condition is not good, elder trust me, if he were in his full state, he definitely could endure over a hundred moves."

"Are you talking about a burst secret technique? In the Inheritance Space, such burst techniques can’t be activated, it is a place to test combat techniques." Mr. Turtle shook his head.

"No, it’s the True Gang Skill."

Mr. Turtle said: "Oh, I remember, that lad’s hard confrontation against the [Qi Barrier] of the young ape was indeed formidable, but aiming to endure 100 moves, difficult... The longer the time, the stronger the statue’s attacks. The first thirty moves are just my ancestor’s combat projection warming up. After thirty moves, that’s when the Great Power starts to get serious."

During his youth, the ancestor of the Ape God could fight across great realms in the [Mountain Realm] as easily as drinking water or eating. In the [Sea Realm], crossing great realms wasn’t considered difficult either. Moreover, he did so relying purely on his own strength, without the aid of divine weapons or treasures. Only after the [Heavenly Realm] did the ancestor begin to struggle, unable to fight across realms without top-level war soldiers or even divine artifacts.

After the Heavenly Realm, those still capable of battling across realms based on hard strength alone—looking over practitioners in the Great Wilderness—number only four...

...

"59th move!"

The long spear and the long stick collided, the golden-armored ape raised its hand, and brilliant golden light erupted. The mysterious meaning of the stick technique formed strands of law, instantly doubling the power of this spear. Lu Chenzhou’s right arm issued the sound of cracking bones, a mixture of scabs and fresh blood.

He was clad in Blood Armor, turned into a blood man. Since the birth of the Immortal Armor, with a Flowing Water Body, even when reversing to attack Qin Hui, he hadn’t suffered such serious injuries.

The Great Power—it was too strong. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

He was sent flying backward, his long spear supporting him on the ground.

The golden-armored ape’s eyes were cold, wordlessly swinging the stick down, the magnificent momentum of the stick compressing horizontally, Lu Chenzhou’s muscles instinctively blocked with the long spear, and his form was slammed onto the ground.

"Such nearly flawless stick defense, even my invincible [Water Drops Can Wear Stones] was heavily blocked by the stick momentum. This is a comprehensive crushing of technique. The golden-armored ape up until now has only used one set of stick techniques, yet with one stick, it shattered countless methods, suppressed all my spear skills, fist techniques, horizontal training, and other cultivation methods! Could this really be a supreme divine skill-level stick technique?" Lu Chenzhou felt somewhat bewildered internally.

Too strong.

The golden-armored ape would not wait for him.

Another familiar stick came smashing down, and Lu Chenzhou seemed to see, in the distant deep space, an infinitely large, infinitely long pitch-black giant stick, piercing through the sun, moon, and stars, tearing the magnificent galaxy, like a black hole, devouring everything.

He was so insignificant...

His gaze cleared, and in an instant, his thoughts whirled a hundred times.

How to break this stick?
