The sea water surged, yet it couldn't converge into two walls of water in the deep trench.
The fearsome and majestic Purgatory Divine Ape was just about to bend down to "pick up" a piece of Flood Dragon flesh when its flame-burning eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
At the end of the trench it had blasted open, amidst the shattered soil and stones, the corner of an ancient building emerged.
The surface of the black building was engraved with complex patterns, which had now been activated, radiating golden light and instantly illuminating the entire seabed, causing it to tremble.
Roar!
The Purgatory Divine Ape roared, swinging its arms as black flames erupted from its body, transforming into black chains that entwined all the Flood Dragon corpses.
Boom!
As the Purgatory Divine Ape stomped the ground, soaring into the sky with the Flood Dragon corpse, a twenty-kilometer radius area of the seabed instantaneously collapsed and exploded.
Numerous clumps of soil mixed with seawater surged skyward, and amidst the spray, a black palace continually rose.
Boom boom boom!!
Towering several thousand meters, the octagonal palace shape had billions of tons of seawater cascading down like waterfalls, forming mist from the impact, creating layers of clouds encircling the palace.
At the moment the relic appeared, a familiar call rose in the heart of the Purgatory Divine Ape and the White Fox Beast standing by the shore.
Ancient Secret Realm!
"Feitong, it seems we've stumbled upon a good fortune again," the Purgatory Divine Ape growled lowly, excitement in its tone, unexpectedly encountering an Ancient Secret Realm here.
The White Fox Beast was also somewhat excited; the last Secret Realm not only elevated its minor realm directly but also significantly enhanced the evolution of its bloodline.
"Jiang Hou, shall we go in?" The White Fox Beast's four paws were restless.
The Purgatory Divine Ape shook its head and growled lowly, "No rush, let's wait until I break through the late-tier phase first."
Each Ancient Secret Realm has different rules; although there may not be deadly dangers, entering doesn't guarantee rewardsβit all depends on strength.
Boom!
The ground shook, and the Purgatory Divine Ape sat down heavily, its massive body causing the surrounding soil to explode.
With the uncertainty of how long the Ancient Secret Realm would last, in a rush, the Purgatory Divine Ape did not barbecue, directly grabbing a section of the Flood Dragon corpse over twenty meters long and taking a fierce bite.
Amidst the sound of rending booms and explosions, a large chunk of flesh was torn off by the Giant Ape.
Instantly, a large flow of blue blood streamed down the corner of the Giant Ape's mouth, an unseen chilling air freezing the fur, which was immediately melted again by the high temperature emitting from the Giant Ape's body surface.
Although it suppressed the Celestial Fire burning on its body, the Purgatory Divine Ape's body remained as scorching as a huge furnace.
As the food entered, the terrifyingly digestive stomach of the Purgatory Divine Ape slightly churned, and waves of blue bio-energy spread out.
In an instant, the entire body's cells activated, frantically absorbing that bio-energy, continuously splitting and evolving!
The Giant Ape's body, massive as a small mountain, once again began to grow visibly larger, its aura becoming increasingly terrifying, causing the surrounding air to constantly vibrate.
After devouring a section of the Flood Dragon's corpse, the height of the Purgatory Divine Ape slowly reached 120.1 meters.
With just a slight pause, the Purgatory Divine Ape instantly transformed into a volcano, the searing black flames on its body endlessly erupting, forming pillars of fire shooting skyward, several kilometers high.
In the fire column over two hundred meters in diameter, the Giant Ape's fur flew, and behind it, a Demon Ape Demon Soul towering more than three hundred and twenty meters emerged.
The golden mark representing the Innate Battle Array between its brows shone brightly, with golden patterns spreading around, finally forming an unfolded Light Wings shape.
At the same time, the Supreme Yang Gold Pattern on the scale armor and armor on its body emitted light, continuously extending and becoming increasingly complex.
The pair of black sharp horns protruding from the fur on its head also doubled in length, becoming more robust, making the already fierce Purgatory Divine Ape appear even more ferocious.
Breaking through the late-tier seven phase was not just an enhancement of power, but also an evolution of the bloodline.
However, this was a breakthrough in a minor realm, and soon the riotous aura of the Purgatory Divine Ape calmed, the black flames that could scorch the world were retracted, and the Demon Soul vanished.
Sigh! The White Fox Beast immediately exhaled a breath.
Its body, which had been pressed mercilessly to the ground, stood back up, shaking off its fur, and ran towards the Purgatory Divine Ape in high spirits, somewhat envious, "Awoo! Jiang Hou, you've grown stronger again."
The Purgatory Divine Ape issued a deep growl, "Not bad, a step closer to the eighth tier." As it spoke, the Giant Ape looked toward the towering massive building.
"Come on, let's see what rules that Ancient Secret Realm adheres to."
Saying this, the two giant beasts headed towards the black palace.
As for the scattered fierce beast corpses on the ground, they'd consume them after exploring the secret realm.
Boom boom boom!! The moment the two giant beasts approached, the grand palace doors slowly opened, emitting thunderous gusts of air.
Having had one previous experience, the Purgatory Divine Ape and the White Fox Beast directly walked in, and suddenly the scene before them changed, appearing on an endlessly vast plaza.
In the center of the plaza stood a fierce beast statue as tall as a mountain, surrounded by clouds, its grandeur overwhelming.
And at the moment of seeing that fierce beast statue, a breath of mythical life spread out, pressing down the form of the Purgatory Divine Ape.
Crack crack!!
The ground beneath the Purgatory Divine Ape's feet shattered, its foot sunk into the earth by more than ten meters, with cracks spreading hundreds of meters.
Roar! The Purgatory Divine Ape, suppressed by the Mythical Bloodline, roared, its eyes filled with endless anger and ferocity, with an indescribable fury erupting within its heart.
The Purgatory Divine Ape's muscles swelled, blood light burst forth, Celestial Fire burned, and the golden Divine Pattern between its brows shone, instantly shifting into its Demon Ape form.
Roar!
The Purgatory Demon Ape, comparable to the eighth tier, roared, combining its arms and suddenly tearing, its terrifying strength directly ripping apart the mythic bloodline pressure filling the world.
Roar roar roar!! The Purgatory Demon Ape howled towards the sky.
As the Purgatory Demon Ape broke free from the mythic bloodline suppression, the White Fox Beast beside it also roared wildly.
Under the intangible bloodline pressure, the White Fox Beast's limbs were already pressed into the earth, constantly trembling, its five tails entwined with red Void Power swung wildly.
"Awoo! It's impossible for Master Feitong to kneel."
"It's merely a Demon God [Mythical] level bloodline, Master Feitong was once stronger, much stronger!" The White Fox Beast howled, a terrifying power awakening within.
Boom! Red demonic aura erupted, transforming into a Ten-Tailed Fox Demon Soul silhouette over two hundred meters tall behind the White Fox Beast.
This Ten-Tailed Fox Demon Soul had a pure white body, but its ear tips and tail fur were golden, emitting a noble, glorious, and holy divine aura.
The Purgatory Divine Ape, watching this scene, wasn't surprised.
When the White Fox Beast initially absorbed the essence of the Demon God Black Fox's bones, its bloodline evolving to a more complete state, the Purgatory Divine Ape already knew this little one's identity.
It was an Ancient Life resurrected or reincarnated from an Ancient Relic.
In the earliest mythological legends, the Celestial Fox was actually a divine beast, but later in some mythical histories, it was demonized, becoming an agent of chaos.
Wasn't the upper limit for Fox Demons nine tails?
Amid the Purgatory Divine Ape's doubt, the earlier mythical bloodline pressure seemed to be some kind of standard "test."
When the Purgatory Divine Ape tore apart the pressure, and the White Fox Beast barely withstood it, a piece of information surfaced in their minds.
Successfully defeating an Ancient Fierce Beast clone of the same realm with a Mythical Bloodline/Legendary Bloodline will yield corresponding level rewards.
