The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 506 - 293: Long-Armed Spiritual Ape_2

This is... Vajra? Ning Xiaoxian originally wanted to rush forward, but her figure suddenly stopped. The creature before her had a robust build, no hair on its face, a rounded forehead, a protruding jawbone, and tusks curving outward from its mouth - wasn’t this just a giant ape? It took advantage of the moment to beat its own sturdy chest twice, and suddenly its whole body radiated a red light, both its strength and speed seemed to double instantly.

"Long-Armed Spiritual Ape, and it also possesses a short-duration Berserk Talent Skill," Changtian urgently whispered into everyone’s ears, "Don’t be deceived by its false appearance, this thing is preparing to escape!"

Escape? This fellow had exerted all its hidden kung fu, apparently ready for a fight to the death, yet it intended to flee? Ning Xiaoxian was stunned but then saw the Spiritual Ape forcefully repel Qi Zai’s attack and suddenly clenched its fists, heavily smashing them onto the ground!

Thump thump, two consecutive sounds, she could see waves radiating outward from the fist as the epicenter. Then, the aged dust in the room charged toward the three of them. She just reached out to block when the Spiritual Ape suddenly leaped up, breaking through the Ancestral Hall’s roof and shooting out.

It was indeed trying to escape!

She inwardly scolded herself in embarrassment. If she had heeded Changtian’s warning, the hesitation wouldn’t have given the enemy a chance to exploit.

Tu Jin had already given chase. All of this was somehow related to Yin Jiu You, and since the ape had seen their faces, it could not be left alive!

That cursed monkey had used its Berserk ability for speed, jumping incredibly fast. Qi Zai folded his wings and chased after it like an arrow loosed from its bow.

Forty zhang, thirty zhang...

The Spiritual Ape up ahead seemed to be aware that someone was catching up from behind and suddenly changed direction, leaping into the aging forest. Those few behind were tricky, and while it couldn’t defeat them, monkeys naturally have an advantage moving in the forest. If it successfully made it into the woods, it wouldn’t be easy for the pursuers to catch it.

The agility of primates in changing direction was truly fast. Ning Xiaoxian furrowed her brows, and suddenly a wisp of black shine emerged in her left hand. After Qi Zai’s next change of direction, she, disregarding that she was hanging in mid-air, slightly intertwined her left thumb and index finger and flicked them with a graceful gesture as if plucking a flower, and the wisp of black light was flicked out by her.

This object, upon being released, was silent and invisible, vanishing into thin air. Just as the Spiritual Ape turned to lunge, the black shine drew a small ripple in the air as if emerging from water waves, then like a lover’s kiss, gently embedded itself into its brow.

A giant ape, over seven meters tall and weighing more than two thousand catties, after taking this hit, still maintained the fierce look of wide-open jaws and gaped eye sockets, but its body, like a mountain of gold tumbling down, fell to the ground, rolling several times on the grass, and did not move again.

This thing has such power? Ning Xiaoxian stuck out her tongue.

Tu Jin had also caught up, gently probing the Spiritual Ape’s body: "Its Divine Soul was nearly shattered, it has passed out." His eyes looked at Ning Xiaoxian strangely because he clearly remembered she had no ability to attack a Divine Soul, "What did you use to hurt it?"

This was also the question on everyone’s mind, including Changtian’s.

"This." She held out her left palm, and in it lay a small, rough arrowhead, "I saw it was about to escape into the woods, I don’t know how, but I ended up throwing this thing at it. I didn’t expect it to be so powerful."

This unassuming object was actually a Soul-devouring Nail. It was the strange treasure that flew into her hand during the collapse of the treasure mountain. Although she had refined it for a while, she never knew its power, nor had she used it against enemies. Now, on its debut, it had taken down such a big fellow. She was lucky that she had not intended to take the life of the giant ape, so when she released the Soul-devouring Nail, she made it retain some mercy.

Giant demons past the Great Success Stage all have True Gang Qi Shields formed by demon energy to protect them, but as soon as the Soul-devouring Nail left her hand, it disappeared as if invisible, only revealing its true nature in front of the enemy, and it penetrated the Spiritual Ape’s protective Gang Qi Shield in one fell swoop, an act that can no longer be described as mystical but rather should be called eerie.

Afterward, the group returned to the Wu Family Ancestral Hall, found several thin fragments at the cave’s entrance, as well as some melted substances that smelled pungently; it seemed to be remnants left after the explosion of the white light. Tu Jin was first injured by the white light, then fought with the giant ape and gave chase, now his complexion was somewhat pale. This was the first time he had been so severely injured since following Changtian.

He barely held himself together and said: "That white light specifically damages the Divine Soul, and it’s very insidious. Luckily, you and Qi Zai had entered the God Demon Prison early; otherwise, the two of you wouldn’t have been able to handle it." Being a Soul Cultivator, his Divine Soul is many times more solid and tough than an ordinary person, yet he still suffered some damage and needed time to recover. Fortunately, his Cultivation Technique specialized in Divine Soul, so such an injury would heal in at most two days. Moreover, with the help of the Cold Devouring Fish, his cultivation would see a significant improvement. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

She then placed both the unconscious giant ape and Tu Jin into the God Demon Prison. Even under such circumstances, Tu Jin managed to refine several Earth Yin Child and handed them to Ning Xiaoxian before he went to the Fifth Floor to rest.

The Earth Yin Child looked like a seven or eight-year-old child, not only non-threatening but somewhat cartoonishly cute. Their form could be solid or ethereal, yet they could not be exposed to sunlight. Fortunately, they could burrow through earth, capable of traveling underground during both day and night, so sunlight would not harm them. Under Changtian’s guidance, she learned how to utilize the Earth Yin Child, and while the iron was hot, she sent them to deliver messages to Lin Yizhang at Ruoshui Ferry and Qi San Pang in Wutuo City, asking about the business situation and designating the Earth Yin Child as the future communication channel between them.

Both of them were stationed and could be found easily by the Earth Yin Child. If she sought contacts like Deng Hao and the whistle, constantly on the move, they would need to hold her token for the Earth Yin Child to trace them. She thought for a while, attached a note and her token to a green coin, then let it fly to find the whistle. (To be continued.
