At the edge of the dark forest, the Chaos Demon Ape, having reviewed all the changes in information, closed the attribute page with a thought, then revealed a look of confusion.
Once in the Chaos Demon Fiend form, it wouldn't be released until the Demon Soul Power was exhausted.
So should it spend the remaining ten minutes or so to find a ferocious beast or monster to kill?
Thinking of this, the Chaos Demon Ape looked in another direction of the Vine Mountain Range, and the ground beneath its feet exploded, instantly transforming into a red light shooting out.
Boom boom boom!! The red beam pierced through the land, causing mountains to explode and canyons to rip apart, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake.
Some monsters and High-Tier Ferocious Beasts couldn't even react before they exploded, turning into fragments and blood mist scattered across the sky.
After sprinting for over a thousand or maybe two thousand kilometers, the Chaos Demon Ape suddenly stopped, looking ahead at a snowy mountain range stretching through the black fog.
On the heavily snow-laden mountainside of the main peak, a thousand-meter-tall white Stone Tower pierced through the ice, its body emitting a faint white glow.
This was also why the Chaos Demon Ape stopped.
Such relatively intact ancient relics usually contained powerful prohibitions, often guarded by high-tier monsters or guardian statues.
Boom! The blood flames on the Chaos Demon Ape surged, and its massive body transformed once again into a rainbow light shooting out rapidly.
Because of its great speed, the air around it compressed into a layer of conical black and blue plasma waves, with temperatures reaching thousands of degrees Celsius.
The sonic boom created resembled thunder, sweeping the atmosphere and forming a wind and snow dragon several kilometers long.
At the instant it reached the mountainside, the Chaos Demon Ape clenched its massive claw into a fist, delivering a punch to the ice layer beneath the relic, instantly causing a red light wave to explode.
Boom! The mountain shook, and the ice layer within a range of over ten kilometers collapsed.
Immediately, a somewhat dilapidated palace complex made of giant white stones emerged, vast in scale, with many relics buried in the ice further down.
These complete buildings stood hundreds of meters high; it was unclear which period they belonged to, necessitating such large abodes.
The Chaos Demon Ape stood on the edge of the ice cliff, its slit pupils aglow with bloodlight sweeping over all the buildings, then flashed and appeared before the Stone Tower.
Boom! The Stone Tower trembled, and under a punch from the Chaos Demon Ape, the runes engraved on the building's surface emitted dazzling light before shattering.
"No Ancient Relic."
The Chaos Demon Ape's eyes swept across, instantly smashing through dozens of dilapidated buildings and appearing before another intact structure resembling a residence's living room.
Boom!
Five beams of bloodlight hundreds of meters long flashed by, their terrifying sharpness directly tearing through the invisible prohibitions around the building, destroying the relic.
Amidst collapsing rubble and ice crystals, some giant furniture resembling tables and chairs lost their luster the moment they touched 'air', turning to ash amidst falling debris.
At this moment, the Chaos Demon Ape's eyes moved slightly, its massive claw making a hollow grasp, pulling out a bronze giant sword, tens of meters long, with rusty spots on the surface, surrounded by bloodlight.
The Chaos Demon Ape gave a sinister smile: "Although this Ancient Relic Soldier has lost its divine nature, it is relatively well-preserved, with a strength comparable to a Tier Seven Divine Artifact."
"With its size, it should fetch several thousand points if taken back in exchange, so I'll take it."
Boom boom boom!!
The Chaos Demon Ape transformed into a demolition master, blasting all relic buildings apart, disregarding the prohibitions' protective power remaining on these relics.
After demolishing all exposed relic buildings, a total of fourteen Ancient Relic Soldiers of various shapes were collected.
Among them, five were complete, measuring tens to hundreds of meters long, with one yellow bronze mirror, over forty meters in diameter, being the largest, valued around 100,000 points just for its material.
The harvest this time was equivalent to slaying a Tier Eight Evil God.
Regrettably, no guardian beast was present, as the Chaos Demon Ape was only a couple of meters shy of reaching Tier Seven Peak, hoping to break through by consuming two more Tier Seven Ferocious Beasts.
"This is... a palace."
With blood flames erupting from its body, the terrifying Chaos Demon Ape stood before a thick thousand-meter ice wall, its eyes falling on a somewhat blurred ice-sealed palace within.
The location where the Ape stood should have been a mountain peak before the ice-sealing, with the palace at the mountain's base.
At this moment, the palace's roof protruded several hundred meters above the peak, showcasing the palace's grandeur.
Of course, compared to the Dragon Palace Ice Crystal Palace encountered underwater earlier, this Ancient Relic Palace was dwarfed, truly making it a lesser sibling.
Boom! The Chaos Demon Ape delivered a direct punch, its terrifying power instantly blasting away the ice layer within a range of over ten kilometers.
At this point, its internal Demon Soul Power had already burned more than halfway, leaving no time to waste, as it still had to carry those Ancient Relics back after exploring this relic.
As countless ice crystals shattered and the heavens and earth shook, within a 'corner of the exposed' palace, a terrifying Tier Seven Peak energy burst forth.
Boom!
Billion-tons of ice exploded, the palace collapsed, revealing a statue seated on a throne, armored, with two heads and four arms, over two hundred meters high.
Red runes flickered on the statue's surface as its internal energy activated, its eyes emitting golden light while looking at the Chaos Demon Ape.
"Demonic energy detected, identified as an intruder!"
"Audacious monster, daring to trespass into Kaldo Sacred City, die!" An ancient and unknown language echoed through the heavens and earth, the statue rising with a complete height over four hundred meters, resembling a mountain peak.
Bang bang!!
The statue's two huge pairs of hands each grasped a black spear standing beside it, and a sharp aura shot skyward.
Clang clang!! Red firelight exploded.
Five beams of red light, each a thousand meters long, flashed by with terrifying speed, tearing open five dark fissures, slicing the statue and black spears into dozens of pieces.
This is the power of the Chaos Demon Fiend form.
The Tier Seven Peak puppet statue couldn't withstand even one move, being instantly obliterated.
After destroying the guardian statue, the Chaos Demon Ape looked towards the palace's depths, where a white jade altar-like pedestal, a hundred meters high, stood.
On it lay an 'umbrella'.
It was over ten meters long, with its entire frame made of a white, jade-like steel material, the canopy resembling white silk, with white fringe hanging along its edges.
A circle of red, blue, green, and orange gemstones were set along the canopy's edge, making it appear exceptionally lavish and beautiful.
"To think it's a complete Ancient Divine Artifact; even if it can't be used, its value exceeds at least 500,000 points." Even the Chaos Demon Ape couldn't help but be thrilled as it spoke.
Not only did it awaken a second True God Power today, but it also acquired nearly a million points' worth of relics from this Ancient Relic.
What a profitable day.
However, the Chaos Demon Ape quickly suppressed its excitement, packing all relics with the remaining Demon Soul Power, binding them with blood-red force upon its shoulder.
Boom!
About half of the ice-sealed mountain's waist collapsed, a red rainbow light shooting out, sweeping away the countless ice crystals in the blink of an eye, appearing at the mountain's foot, then disappearing beyond the horizon.
