The Six-armed Demon Ape remained invincible in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, dominating the vast eighty-first layer.

The demon energy was also most intense on the eighty-first level, allowing the Six-armed Demon Ape to increase its power just by sleeping here.

Other demons were short-lived, turning into pus and blood after a few decades. Only the Six-armed Demon Ape was exceptional; the more demon energy it carried, the stronger its body became.

In this way, the Six-armed Demon Ape stayed in the cavern for unknown thousands of years, with its power increasing daily. However, the excessively dense and powerful demon energy also trapped it.

Leaving the eighty-first level, the thin demon energy around it would cause the Six-armed Demon Ape great pain.

The Six-armed Demon Ape tried; at most, it could reach the seventieth level. In the position of the seventieth level, it had a gut feeling that going up one more level would mean certain death.

The extremely intense demon energy nourished it and provided it with endless power. Simultaneously, it also limited it.

The Six-armed Demon Ape was highly intelligent; it could only accept this reality. So, it lay on the eighty-first level all day long, sleeping.

As for keeping one head awake, it wasn't afraid of being attacked; it was just too bored.

In its long life, it was the first time the Six-armed Demon Ape encountered a life form it could communicate with. Despite its extreme aversion to the aura on Gao Xuan, it suppressed its nature to exchange a few words with Gao Xuan.

It just couldn't control its instincts, and quickly became irritable and attacked.

The Six-armed Demon Ape never expected such a small life form to be so fierce. In a direct confrontation, it actually lost, and all six fists were smashed to pieces.

The Six-armed Demon Ape hadn't been injured for so long, the searing pain in its body made it go berserk immediately.

The endless demon energy from the underground crevices could instantly restore its body to its original state. Without hesitation, the Six-armed Demon Ape struck again, frantically smashing its six fists toward Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan didn't dodge, he once again unleashed the Endless Celestial Dragon Claw to meet the attack with his fist.

One fist against six fists, the six fists of the Six-armed Demon Ape were blown apart again.

The Endless Celestial Dragon Claw, after being re-forged by Gao Xuan, was already close to the power of an Earth Artifact. With the supreme demon-subduing power of the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon from the Buddhist sect, whether in strength, durability, or fist technique changes, it far surpassed the Six-armed Demon Ape.

After seizing this opportunity, Gao Xuan didn't hesitate. The Endless Celestial Dragon Claw smashed forward suddenly, and the upper body of the Six-armed Demon Ape with its pulverized fists was broken.

Gao Xuan was a bit surprised that this punch didn't completely crush the opponent; the body of the Six-armed Demon Ape was truly formidable.

He transformed his fist into a claw, and the Endless Celestial Dragon Claw pinched the lower body of the Six-armed Demon Ape, causing it to burst into countless fragments.

Gao Xuan was about to invoke the World-Ending True Flame, but the fragments of the shattered Six-armed Demon Ape suddenly re-formed, and before the World-Ending True Flame fell, the Six-armed Demon Ape had already returned to its original state.

The black World-Ending True Flame burned the Six-armed Demon Ape, making it wail lamentably. Gao Xuan landed another claw strike, yet the body of the Six-armed Demon Ape became even more resilient, actually enduring the Dark Gold Claw Blade, struggling with all its might.

Gao Xuan frowned slightly. It wouldn't matter if the Six-armed Demon Ape resurrected after death, but becoming stronger after dying was somewhat ridiculous.

He added two more points of strength, and the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Seal delivered a low dragon roar. The supreme might of the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon erupted, and the Dark Gold Claw Blade suddenly closed.

The Six-armed Demon Ape exploded again. The splattering blood mist in the air quickly reformed into the form of the Six-armed Demon Ape.

This time, the Six-armed Demon Ape didn't attack. It suddenly leaped into the depths of the massive crevice.

A towering column of black and red smoke churned, and Gao Xuan lost track of the Six-armed Demon Ape.

Although Gao Xuan had the Primordial Golden Body and the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light, he didn't dare rashly enter the black and red smoke column.

That was the most filthy Ultimate Yin Qi between heaven and earth, something that even a Celestial Immortal would likely not dare to breach recklessly.

The massive underground crevice was also terrifying. Gao Xuan's Divine Sense was immediately devoured as it swept past. Be it Inversion of Heaven and Earth magic, the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light released by the Jun Heaven Wheel, none could be wielded here.

The giant underground crevice itself was a special spatial domain, not something Gao Xuan's current power could shake.

Realizing this, Gao Xuan felt a bit disheartened.

Without resolving this crevice, it was impossible to fully eradicate the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

As for whether or not to kill the Six-armed Demon Ape, it wasn't very important. Gao Xuan also noticed this; the Six-armed Demon Ape seemed to be the favored child of intense demon energy.

This favored child could not leave the dense demon energy. So, no matter how powerful the Six-armed Demon Ape became, it could only stay in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons and posed no threat.

Judging by the looks of the Six-armed Demon Ape, as long as the demon energy persisted, it would probably be impossible to kill it completely.

Given this, there was no need to waste time. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Gao Xuan thought about clearing out all the demons on his way back, knowing it could bring relative peace for perhaps a thousand years here.

As for matters a thousand years henceforth, they would be someone else's concern.

Just as Gao Xuan intended to leave, he heard a furious roar from the depths of the crevice. Churning black and red smoke, the Six-armed Demon Ape leaped out from within the crevice.

This time, the body of the Six-armed Demon Ape had shrunk tenfold, its height only dozens of feet, and the thick black fur was gone, replaced by a layer of shell-like armor on its body surface.

Gao Xuan couldn't help but laugh. After suffering two losses, the Six-armed Demon Ape evolved again, even arming itself with armor.

This ape was really clever...

Gao Xuan initially wanted to leave, but now he changed his mind, wanting to see what else this monkey could transform into.

The Six-armed Demon Ape repeated its old trick, smashing all six fists together. The difference was, this time the six fists already showed some variation in fist technique, with the power of the punch congealed and firm, clearly gathering all its strength at the punch's tip.
