Chapter 341: Chapter 316: Snatch Food from the Tiger’s Mouth, Heaven Sends Opportunities_1
The figure that had burst out from the mountaintop was also a giant ape, but even more massive, measuring a staggering twenty meters tall.
In its hand, it held a milky white stick, sweeping it towards the two Martial Spirits of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Boom!
The two martial spirits quickly retreated.
"Immortal Bone."
A martial spirit said coldly, his gaze locked onto the white stick in the giant ape’s hand.
At just a glance, they realized that the white stick in the giant ape’s hand had been polished from a segment of immortal bone.
Roar!
The giant ape roared, its massive body light as a feather, moving through the air in strides, and pounced again at the two Martial Spirits of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Without a doubt, this giant ape was also at the realm of the Primordial Spirit, and was the king of the apes in this area.
When the white stick was swung, it glittered brightly, and when the brilliant light fell upon the two Martial Spirits of the Primordial Spirit Realm, their power was suppressed, their strength greatly reduced.
As such, even the combined strength of the two could only fight on par against the ape king, it was impossible to defeat the ape king.
The other seven martial spirits were also locked in a tough battle with the remaining giant apes.
"This place is indeed dangerous, there are so many giant apes, even has a giant ape king, if we were to approach, we would surely gain nothing."
Lu Yan said.
"These giant apes, because they have spent years with the immortal bone, they have integrated immortal power into their bodies, like the immortal beasts, hence their tremendous strength."
Shen Yinuo analyzed.
"The Immortal Bone should be on that mountaintop."
Lu Yan looked at the mountaintop.
On the mountain peak, giant ape figures were everywhere.
Apparently, some giant apes had not yet appeared, and many were still guarding in all four corners, most likely guarding the immortal bone.
Lu Yan didn’t rush to make a move.
It was best to wait until the martial spirits and the giant ape were both injured and exhausted, so he could sit back and reap the benefits of being the third party.
The two Martial Spirits of the Primordial Spirit Realm grew increasingly impatient the longer they fought.
This Primordial Spirit realm giant ape, its realm was not much different from theirs, it was also of the First Transformation of Primordial Spirit.
But because the immortal bone suppressed them, and the ape’s physical body was unusually tough, they were forced into a standoff.
Breaking through these giant apes with sheer power was a tough challenge.
"Lin Sen, your martial spirit is peculiar. Stealthily infiltrate the back mountain and reach the top, take the immortal bone and go, we won’t engage these beasts."
One of the Martial Spirits of the Primordial Spirit realm sent a divine message to a tall and thin man.
This tall and thin man, was at the Seventh Refinement of True Body cultivation level, and his martial spirit was peculiar. His body had grown roots-like things, like a long whip waving, the power was astonishing.
A giant ape was pierced by the roots, its body immediately shriveled, as if it had been drained of its essence.
"Yes."
The tall and thin man responded, then quickly retreated.
Then he stealthily went around a bend, reached the back mountain, disappeared into a big tree, and vanished.
"That guy, he can actually blend with trees, he’s planning to sneak into the mountaintop and steal the immortal bone."
Lu Yan’s face changed, immediately seeing through the action of the martial spirit.
He must not let the other party succeed.
According to the Dao Book’s response, the energy of the immortal bone on the mountain was astonishing. If he obtained it, he would surely be able to boost the True Dragon War Body to the ninth stage in one fell swoop.
By that time, even if his cultivation level did not increase, his combat power would still greatly increase.
"Yinuo, stay here, I’m going over to have a look."
Lu Yan said.
"You want to go and steal the immortal bone? Once you steal it, the ape king and the two Primordial Spirit realm martial spirits will definitely discover you, they’re not going to let you off."
Shen Yinuo spoke, her face full of worry.
"Don’t worry, I have cultivated the Star Leg of Mansion of King Ming, fully applied, my speed is incredibly fast, they may not be able to catch up with me."
"If we split up, we will meet here."
Lu Yan said.
Shen Yinuo wanted to go with Lu Yan but didn’t speak up when she got to her lips.
She knew that her speed now was not as fast as Lu Yan.
If she went together with Lu Yan, he would have to carry her, which would affect Lu Yan’s speed.
"Be careful."
A thousand words, in the end, turned into two words.
"Don’t worry, with such a beautiful woman like you waiting for me, how can I be in danger?"
Lu Yan smiled, he concealed his aura, came down from the big tree and stealthily reached the back mountain.
At this time, that tall and thin man had already started to take action.
He stealthily infiltrated the mountain, and the giant apes guarding the mountain didn’t notice. He flashed into the big tree in front of him, completely merging with the big tree, silent and traceless, completely unbeknownst to anyone.
In this way, the tall and thin man headed up the mountain, and soon reached halfway up the mountain.
Lu Yan directly took out a bow and arrow, aimed at the tall and thin man, and fired an arrow.
As swift as lightning, the arrow spanned several kilometers and hit the tree where the tall and thin man was hiding.
Crash!
The tree exploded, and the tall and thin man stumbled out in panic.
Roar roar roar...
The mountain-guarding giant apes immediately noticed the tall and thin man and rushed towards him.
"Damn, someone is trying to make trouble."
The tall and thin man was furious.
But among the mountain-guarding giant apes, there were also extremely powerful ones, such as a ten-meter-tall giant ape, threw a punch, causing the tall and thin man to stagger backwards.
The giant apes began to surround the tall and thin man.
Roar!
At the same time, from the top of the mountain, came the wailing of the giant apes, terrifying in power.
The tall and thin man gritted his teeth, could only use the power of the Martial Spirit, broke through the encirclement, and rushed towards the distance.
The giant apes roared and chased after him.
There were suddenly many less apes guarding the mountain.
Lu Yan silently moved forward, like a phantom, shuttling through the forest, using the big tree for cover, evading the few giant apes, reached the top of the mountain, and landed on a big tree, looking forward.
At the top of the mountain, there was a huge pit.
In the pit lay half a skeleton.
Yes, only half of it, as if it had been cleaved in two by a blade from head to toe, with half of the body smashed here.
Dao Book trembles violently in the sea of awareness, an unprecedented intense longing.
This immortal must have been incomparably formidable when alive, otherwise, even after death for over five thousand years, the residual immortal power remains so intense.
Seven huge apes, each over ten meters tall, were guarding around the immortal bone.
Such gigantic apes, each possessing formidable combat power. Lu Yan wasn’t sure he could handle all seven at once.
The key issue is that it would also alert the Martial Spirits and Ape King of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
With a flash in his eyes, Lu Yan already had a plan.
His body flickered, and the avatar of Star Leg appeared, rushing towards the top of the mountain.
Roar!
As soon as the Star Leg avatar appeared, it was spotted by the giant apes. Immediately, three powerful apes rushed towards the avatar.
The Star Leg avatar turned and ran, with the three giant apes hot on its heels.
"Alien beasts, after all, are less intelligent than humans, so easily led away."
Lu Yan was delighted. He consecutively manifested two avatars, which rushed to the mountain top and then ran in different directions, drawing away three more giant apes.
Only one giant ape was left guarding the mountaintop.
"Now’s the time."
Lu Yan went all out and charged out.
The remaining ape lunged at Lu Yan, with its gigantic fist smashing towards him, accompanied by violent winds, showing an astonishing momentum.
Lu Yan exerted his full strength, unleashing his True Dragon War Body to the seventh level and counterattacked with a punch.
With a crash, the giant ape was thrown back a hundred meters, breaking several large trees.
But it struggled up immediately.
"What a mighty power that it isn’t severely injured after receiving my full blow."
While Lu Yan marveled at the toughness of the giant ape, his actions didn’t stall. He sent out the Dao Book, which rapidly enlarged into a giant vortex, enveloped the immortal bone, and swallowed it.
Whoosh!
The Dao Book flew back to Lu Yan’s forehead and disappeared.
"Eh, two blood ginsengs running away."
Lu Yan’s eyes brightened.
After the Dao Book devoured the immortal bone, two blood ginsengs were nestled beneath the bone.
At this moment, both blood ginsengs began to run.
A blessing from the heavens, how could he not seize it?
He used the Star Leg, took two steps forward, and caught up with the blood ginsengs. Using True Vigor to form a large hand, he grabbed the two blood ginsengs and put them into the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag.
Roar!
An earthshaking roar echoed through the heaven and earth.
The stealing of the immortal bone was immediately sensed by the Ape King, who let out an enraged roar. It abandoned the two Martial Spirits of the Primordial Spirit Realm and rushed up the mountain.
"Did Lin Sen get the bone?"
The two Martial Spirits were overjoyed and prepared to distract the Ape King so Lin Sen could escape.
But from another direction, Lin Sen was seen fleeing and yelling, "It’s not me who stole the bone, there’s someone else."
"What?"
The faces of the two Primordial Spirit Realm Martial Spirits turned pale as they roared angrily, "Daring to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth."
Following the Ape King, they too rushed towards the mountain top.
Lu Yan turned to run, executing Lingkong Xudu and making for the distance.
The Ape King, along with the two Martial Spirits, quickly located Lu Yan.
"Stop."
Roar!
With the sound of angry roars, three Primordial Spirit Realm experts pursued Lu Yan.
But below, three figures suddenly charged out, rushing towards the Ape King and the two Martial Spirits.
These were the three Martial Arts Avatars of Lu Yan.
As they approached, the avatars self-destructed to hinder the progress of the three Primordial Spirits Realm powerhouses.
Since he had the immortal bone, it would be easy to reproduce the Martial Arts avatars.
The Ape King and the two Martial Spirits were indeed hindered, and Lu Yan took advantage of this to escape several li away.
"You can’t escape."
The two Martial Spirits roared angrily and chased after Lu Yan.
The Ape King followed suit.
Lu Yan pushed the Star Leg to its limit, moving exceedingly fast, like a streak of light sweeping across the sky.
However, the two Martial Spirits were not slow either and followed closely behind Lu Yan.
The speed of the Ape King, by contrast, was noticeably slower. It trailed behind and gradually faded from view.
"Youngster, you can’t escape. Hand over the immortal bone obediently and spare your life."
One of the Martial Spirits behind him, shouted coldly.
He was an old man, but behind him grew a pair of eagle-like wings. His body was also covered in feathers and his speed was extremely high.
The other Martial Spirit had several snakes’ heads growing out of his body which moved like a snake, his speed was also astonishingly fast.
Even with Lu Yan’s full strength, he found it hard to shake them off.
"A Primordial Spirit can draw on the power of heaven and earth. Hence, their speed is fast, and their power is endless. They will catch up with me if this goes on for a long time," Lu Yan thought.
However, he had already had a plan.
The direction he was escaping to was none other than Cangming Valley.
He planned to use the Will Power Pattern of Cangming Valley to block the Martial Spirits. Then, while Dao Book was helping him elevate his True Dragon War Body to the ninth level and increase his combat power, he might be able to fight them off.
For now, he had no intention of battling.
If it had been an ordinary first transformation of the Primordial Spirit, he could kill it easily.
Even a Primordial Spirit at the first transformation achieved through an ordinary King’s True Body, he could still fight.
However, those who entered the Lost Sky Mansion were by no means weak.
These two Martial Spirits were definitely comparable to the existence of the King’s True Body, and the Martial Spirits they integrated were probably King Level Martial Spirits.
Considering the absurd amplification given by the Martial Spirits themselves, he was most likely not a match for them.
As one chased and one escaped, time flew by. Soon, Cangming Valley was within sight.
