Monarch of Time-Chapter 924 Heavenly Tower (5)

924 Chapter 924 Heavenly Tower (5)

A beast that looked like a red-colored ape was now towering over Shun Long, staring at the blue-robed young man in front of it with endless ferocity in its dark yellow eyes.

The 'Blood Devouring Ape' was just barely over 3 meters (10ft) tall, with bright red skin that seemed almost sunburned, and extremely long limbs that weren't proportional to its torso. The beast wasn't even as tall as most other peak rank 6 magic beasts, and yet, Shun Long knew that it was actually much more dangerous than the majority of peak rank 6 magic beasts out there.

The 'Blood Devouring Ape's' physique was extremely sturdy, so much so that it even allowed it to resist the attacks of other rank 6 magic beasts directly.

Although the 'Twin-headed earth snakes' that Shun Long had fought earlier were powerful middle rank 6 magic beasts that could even threaten a peak rank 6 magic beast if they banded together, if they were faced with the 'Blood Devouring Ape', the snakes could only flee in terror!

After all, their fangs weren't strong enough to pierce through the ape's steel-like skin, nor could they overpower it in a show of strength.

However, Shun Long simply smiled as he looked at the towering figure of the ape that was only half the size of a normal 'Twin-headed earth snake', before he shook his head and said flatly

''I don't mind playing with you, but you are not much stronger than my Little Silver. You are only going to suffer if you don't step aside.''

The 'Blood Devouring Ape' roared angrily at the provocation of the tiny, insignificant human, before its thick legs suddenly kicked the ground underneath it, propelling it forward at a terrifying speed.

Although the ape couldn't understand human language, as a peak rank 6 magic beast, it was intelligent enough to understand that Shun Long was looking down on it at this moment.

A weak human that was only half its size was looking at it with eyes no different than those the ape had used when it hunted its meals. How could an overlord among peak rank 6 magic beasts tolerate such disrespect?

''ROOOOAAAR!!''

The ape's roar grew almost deafening, its wild eyes blazing with fury as it closed the distance between them like a crimson blur.

As its massive body flew through the air, the beast swung its long arms, aiming to take down Shun Long in a single strike. The ape's arms covered both the left and the right side its opponent could escape to, giving him no path to retreat.

To begin with, the distance between the azure-robed man and the ferocious magic beast was only a dozen meters or so, which, for a peak rank 6 magic beast, was a distance that could be covered in a single leap!

And yet, contrary to the beast's expectations, the small human didn't even try to move and avoid its strike. Instead, he merely stretched out his own arms and tried to catch the ape's arms directly.

The 'Blood Devouring Ape's' eyes flashed with mirth as the powerful beast put all of its remaining strength behind its attack! Since the arrogant human wasn't backing down, it was going to pulverize him without holding back!

However, the scene that followed caused the ape's heart to instantly turn cold before a feeling of dread overwhelmed the powerful beast!

The blue-robed young man effortlessly blocked the two descending arms that flanked him from both directions, easily holding them down before he turned towards the ape, staring straight into the beast's cold yellow eyes!

The 'Blood Devouring Ape' felt its heart plunging deep into the abyss as it realized it couldn't free its arms from the small human's grasp.

For the first time since becoming a peak rank 6 magic beast, the ape finally felt the threat of death looming over its head like an inescapable blade ready to strike!

Throwing one last glance at the large beast in front of him, Shun Long merely shook his head and said disinterestedly

''You may be a little bit stronger than Little Silver, but that's all there is to it. You are not bad for a rare-grade magic beast, but you still can't compare to the stronger ones out there.''

With a casual flick of his wrist, Shun Long hurled the ape's gigantic body aside, sending it flying into a distant hill! The small hill immediately exploded upon coming in contact with the ape's body, raising a cloud of debris and dust in the process.

And yet, a moment later, the 'Blood Devouring Ape' stood back on its feet, appearing completely unharmed. Its thick hide hadn't even been damaged and its steel-like body was still brimming with power.

Still, a hint of confusion could be seen in the crimson ape's eyes as it stood back up and stared at the blue-robed young man in the distance, but to its surprise, Shun Long didn't throw another glance at it before he turned around and walked away, heading further towards the south.

''Rooooaaar!''

The crimson ape let out one last, deafening roar, before eventually lowering its head and staring silently at the blue-robed young man's back that disappeared further into the distance.

With its intelligence, the 'Blood Devouring Ape' could tell that if Shun Long had wanted to harm it, he could have easily done so during that last strike of his. And yet, the blue-robed young man had decided to let it go for some reason. The crimson ape couldn't understand why, but it still felt a mixture of resentment and gratitude brewing in its heart. Resentment because it had been treated like a mischievous child by a human, but gratitude because its life had been spared because of that. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Meanwhile, Shun Long had already put the matter of the 'Blood Devouring Ape' to the back of his mind as he kept walking further towards the south, with Liu Mei and the others following right behind him.

As for the reason why he had decided to spare the crimson ape, the answer was actually fairly simple; Although the 'Blood Devouring Ape' was a peak rank 6 magic beast, it wasn't as if Shun Long was lacking in beast cores at this moment. As for the 'Blood Devouring Ape' itself, although its flesh and blood were indeed nutritious and could allow a sixth-stage body refiner to increase their strength if they consumed it, for Shun Long who had already reached the peak of the sixth stage, the ape's flesh wasn't going to have any effect.

Like this, Shun Long and his group continued to move forward, obliterating even the peak rank 6 magic beasts that blocked their way, and finally, 2 weeks later, they arrived in front of the majestic, enormous white tower.
