“Understood, Master!”
The Heaven-Slaughtering Ape King waved its hand. Demonic energy surged from its palm, completely enveloping Panlong Guxie’s beast soul before respectfully sending it back to Tan Yun.
Inside the sealing light, Panlong Guxie’s beast soul trembled violently, hastily begging for its life in panic.
“Spare me! Please… spare my life…”
As is well known, the souls of beasts below Level 5 are not yet fully formed. They exist only as a faint black mist hidden deep within the beast’s consciousness.
When a Level 4 beast breaks through to Level 5, that mist-like beast soul begins to condense into a **true soul form**.
The current beast soul of Panlong Guxie was still extremely weak—its strength was comparable only to a Level 1 beast.
And if this soul escaped, it could possess a low-level beast and eventually revive itself.
“Spare you? Dream on!”
Tan Yun snorted coldly and waved his hand, sealing the beast soul directly into his storage pouch.
Then he turned anxiously. In a single flash, his figure appeared in front of the heavily injured Golden Dragon Lion King, over **100 zhang** away.
“Big Brother!”
The Heaven-Slaughtering Ape King quickly followed and stood beside the Golden Dragon Lion King, its face full of concern.
When the Dragon Demon King accepted the Heaven-Slaughtering Ape King as his disciple, he had once instructed it to address the Golden Dragon Lion as “Big Brother.”
“Roar…”
The Golden Dragon Lion panted heavily, looking at the Heaven-Slaughtering Ape King and letting out a weak sound.
The ape king immediately understood its meaning and said firmly:
“Big Brother, don’t worry. I will protect the Master. Please rest and recover in peace.”
“Roar…”
The Golden Dragon Lion nodded slightly. Its massive body quickly shrank down to the size of a cat before falling unconscious.
Tan Yun then stored it into his beast pouch.
“Disciple pays respect to Master!”
The Heaven-Slaughtering Ape King knelt before Tan Yun, its voice shaking the heavens.
Tan Yun laughed loudly.
“No need for formalities. Stand up.”
His face was filled with joy.
Finally… the Heaven-Slaughtering Ape King had awakened!
From now on, he had gained another trump card within the **Huangfu Grand Immortal Sect**, and would no longer be forced into helpless situations like before.
At present, the ape king was still at **Level 4 Peak**, equivalent to a fully completed **Saint Soul Realm cultivator**—yet its killing power far surpassed anyone of the same level.
By the laws of cultivation, a Level 4 beast cannot fly unless it breaks through to Level 5.
“Master,”
The Heaven-Slaughtering Ape King stood up and looked around in confusion before asking:
“Where is this place?”
Tan Yun then explained everything in detail about searching for the Ancient Divine Sword in the Abyssal Burial of Gods.
After inheriting the Dragon Demon King’s power, the ape king had also inherited part of its memories.
Its violent nature from the Dragon Demon King also influenced it—making it far less emotionally fragile than the Golden Dragon Lion King.
Even when seeing the remains of the ancient giant race, it only showed slightly reddened eyes, without shedding tears.
Suddenly, it raised its head toward the deep mist above the sea of blood, its giant eyes flashing with excitement.
“Master… according to my inherited memories, I have seen the Ancient Divine Sword you are looking for before!”
“Incredible!”
Tan Yun exclaimed in excitement, his eyes lighting up instantly. “Tell me, where is the sword!”
The Soul-Slaying Divine Ape bowed its head respectfully.
“My lord, the sword is in the Sea of Blood…”
Before it could finish, its massive eyes suddenly flickered with uncontrollable sorrow as it continued in a heavy voice.
“And… my lord, I also saw the remains of an Ancient Divine Being. The energy radiating from the blood in this Sea of Blood… it feels like the essence of an Ancient Divine God!”
Tan Yun’s body trembled violently. His smile froze for a brief moment before he let out a long breath.
“Where exactly is it…”
“My lord, the remains of the Ancient Divine Being… are also deep within the Sea of Blood,” the Soul-Slaying Divine Ape replied truthfully, its gaze fixed on the blood sea shrouded in thick black mist.
“I understand. I will go down and see for myself.”
The moment he finished speaking, Tan Yun stepped toward the edge of the Sea of Blood, about 100 li away.
“Ah!”
The instant his right foot entered the black mist, Tan Yun let out an involuntary cry.
The protective qi barrier around his body shattered in an instant!
A wave of searing pain, as if his bones were being sliced apart, surged straight into his right leg!
He quickly retreated, immediately reforging his protective energy barrier.
Looking down, he saw the flesh of his right leg had split apart. Blood poured out violently, and white bone was exposed in a horrifying sight.
He drew in a sharp breath through the pain.
Only now did he finally understand…
Why the founder of the Immortal Saint Huanfu Sect, 80,000 years ago, had been injured and forced to flee after obtaining the Blazing Flash Divine Sword from the Burial God Abyss—he had been injured by this black mist.
No… more accurately, this was not ordinary mist. It was a “forbidden formation” hidden within it.
“My lord, are you seriously injured?”
The Soul-Slaying Divine Ape quickly shrank back to its normal form and rushed over to check his condition.
“I’m fine,” Tan Yun replied calmly, though his brows were tightly furrowed.
“Monkey Elder, you inherited your former master’s power. You should be able to devour demonic mist of all kinds.”
“This black mist contains demonic energy. Go try absorbing it for me. I want to see what kind of formation this really is.”
The Soul-Slaying Divine Ape immediately replied.
“No need to try, my lord. I can devour it directly!”
“Good!”
Tan Yun’s eyes brightened instantly.
With a violent tremor, the Soul-Slaying Divine Ape’s body expanded rapidly, transforming into a colossal figure over 1,000 meters tall in an instant.
“My lord, please watch carefully. I will begin devouring it now!”
With a roar, it opened its mouth wide, unleashing a terrifying suction force!
The black mist above the Sea of Blood was drawn in frantically!
In an instant, the mist over the surface began to thin, though new mist continuously surged up from the blood sea below, only to be devoured again without pause.
Tan Yun stood at the edge of the Sea of Blood, his gaze fixed forward with unwavering focus.
And at that moment…
He saw it.
A colossal skeleton, over 100,000 zhang tall, appeared deep within the Sea of Blood!
Its shape was about 80% similar to a human form.
In its right hand, it gripped a giant sword over 120,000 zhang long, pressed down into the blood sea as if using it to anchor the entire world and prevent its own body from collapsing.
There was no need to think twice…
Before death, it had used that giant sword to “pin” an entire world into this Sea of Blood.
“Immortal…”
Tan Yun looked up at the towering skeleton, his eyes filled with deep sorrow.
Because that skeleton—was truly the remains of the “Immortal Ancient Divine Being.”
