Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 250 Fighting Demon Ape
"Crash!"

As the sound of chains dragging on the ground rang out, the masked demon ape moved, taking three steps toward Chen Beiwu.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

With each step the demonic ape took, the earth beneath its feet trembled and groaned.

These voices carried an invisible pressure, like a death countdown, pressing heavily on Chen Beiwu's heart, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe, and even the surrounding air felt as thick as solidified lead and mercury.

"We must remain calm!"

Chen Beiwu meditated on the Great Mystery of Oneness, using the light of the Oneness Mirror to cleanse his mind and eliminate distracting thoughts.

Seeing Chen Beiwu's reaction, the masked demon ape's cold and cruel eyes paused slightly.

Why are you not afraid?

This time, it did not deliberately restrain its oppressive aura.

Although the pressure it exudes is now less than one percent of its peak strength due to the restrictions of the Demon-Binding Chains, it is still more than a Foundation Establishment cultivator can withstand.

Even a third-tier demon general would be terrified and terrified if standing in front of it.

As the masked demon ape drew closer, Chen Beiwu was able to see its true form through the dense network of dark gold chains and the mask.

Its fur was jet black, its eyes were deep-set with a hint of madness, its joints were covered with hideous bone spurs, and its head was crowned with wisps of purple light that were neither cloud nor rosy, and were indescribable.

'As expected, my guess was right.'

At first, because the mask and chains concealed his face and aura, Chen Beiwu was unable to recognize the demonic ape's identity immediately.

Fortunately, a cultivator from the Heavy Gold Sect came to the rescue, using a third-tier treasure talisman to test the demonic ape. Only then did Chen Beiwu realize the true nature of this demonic ape.

It's important to know that in the Immortal Alliance, not all third-tier treasure beasts can be called Earthly Fiend Treasure Beasts, nor can all fourth-tier mystical beasts be called Heavenly Mystical Beasts.

The list of Heavenly Fiends and Earthly Fiends has a limited number of slots. There are 72 Earthly Fiend Treasure Beasts corresponding to the number of Earthly Fiends, and 36 Heavenly Fiend Mystic Beasts corresponding to the number of Heavenly Fiends.

Every treasure beast and mystical beast that can be listed on the Immortal Alliance's Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Ranking is a powerful existence whose aptitude, combat strength, and profound abilities surpass those of bloodlines of the same level.

In the eyes of the Immortal Alliance cultivators, it possesses terrifying potential to crush those of the same level.

Some of the Heavenly Beasts that make it into the top ten of the Heavenly Beast Ranking can even obtain a unique 'Heavenly Beast True Name' or 'Heavenly Beast Title'.

Such beings possess a bloodline rank comparable to, or even surpassing, that of a fifth-tier elemental beast.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Heavenly Dipper Mystic Beasts that can be listed on the Heavenly Dipper Ranking are strategic resources in the eyes of the Immortal Alliance's higher-ups. Even Nascent Soul True Monarchs may not be qualified to form contracts with them.

However, the demonic ape standing in front of Chen Beiwu at this moment was neither an Earthly Fiend Beast nor a Heavenly Divine Beast, but a Creation Primordial Beast that surpassed both the Heavenly Divine Beast and the Earthly Fiend Beast.

What is a Creation Beast?

Blessed by heaven and earth, possessing a trace of the origin of heaven and earth, a terrifying primordial beast whose bloodline can grow to its peak and smoothly advance to the fifth realm of demon lord.

This kind of elemental beast may appear to be ranked at the fifth rank, but its potential bloodline is comparable to that of a sixth-rank Dao beast.

If Chen Beiwu hadn't enjoyed reading miscellaneous books and paying attention to various rankings of beasts in the Immortal Alliance, it would have been difficult to discover his identity so quickly.

[Name]: Fighting Demon Ape
[Attributes]: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth (All Five Elements are present)
[Bloodline]: Fifth-tier Supreme Grade (Creation Beast)

[Mysterious Connections]: Battle Demon Body, Power of the Four Symbols, Chaotic Heavenly Eye

Battle Demon Body: A fifth-tier supreme Yuan technique, a demon body forged by fusing a wisp of 'Battle Intent' with the innate source energy of 'earth, water, fire, and wind'.

Unrivaled in battle, impervious to all attacks, capable of bearing the weight of calamity, connecting with the opponent's energy, and sharing the damage suffered.

The power of the four elements: a fifth-tier supreme elemental technique, naturally wielding the power of "earth, water, fire, and wind," possessing the earth's solidity (standing on the earth, with boundless magical power), the fire's ferocity (igniting anger, causing a surge in power), the water's endurance (life is endless, immortal and indestructible), and the wind's extreme speed (tearing through gales, moving at will).

Chaotic Heavenly Eye: A fifth-tier supreme Yuan technique. The eyes can see through illusions, suppress calamity, and foresee the future. It can also be called the future vision.

[Introduction]: The Fighting Demon Ape is born from nature and is formed from innate primordial energy. It wields the power of 'Fighting Destruction'.

Its bloodline rank is second only to the Four Chaotic Apes, thus placing it third on the Immortal Alliance's list of Creation Beasts.

The cultivators of the Immortal Alliance who form a contract with it as a fellow beast can prove their status as True Venerables and have the potential to become Void Refining Dao Venerables.

[Note]: The Fighting Demon Ape is born warlike. Fighting is its instinct and the meaning of its existence. The fighting spirit burning deep in its blood will drive it to seek out opponents who can ignite its fighting spirit throughout the endless years.

However, victory was not the goal of the Fighting Demon Ape.

Enjoy the life-or-death struggle between evenly matched opponents, experience the ultimate clash of combat skills and will, and prove that only through fighting can one satisfy the deepest desires in their heart.

When unable to find a strong opponent to fight, the Fighting Demon Ape will even actively cultivate potential rivals to satisfy its fighting desires.

What is a seed of strength?
In the eyes of the Fighting Demon Ape, a true strongman not only needs outstanding talent and profound cultivation, but also a tenacious will and a pure belief in his own path of cultivation.

Those who possess strength but lack the will to fight will not be taken seriously by the Fighting Demon Ape.

It is precisely for this reason that any being who shows fear, retreat, or begging towards the Fighting Demon Ape, regardless of their level of cultivation, will be ruthlessly annihilated by it.

However, the Fighting Demon Ape will maintain a certain degree of tolerance towards peerless geniuses, especially those peerless geniuses who are recognized for their strength.

Recalling this information, Chen Beiwu's eyes remained calm as he quietly watched the Fighting Demon Ape approach.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

The Fighting Demon Ape stood three zhang away from Chen Beiwu, its gaze scrutinizing him.

Perhaps because it hadn't communicated with anyone for too long, the Fighting Demon Ape's voice sounded somewhat hesitant.

"Why should I be afraid? You are strong, and I am no match for you, but one day, I will also be able to reach this level."

Chen Beiwu looked up, his eyes meeting the demonic ape's gaze directly, and said without backing down.

Upon hearing this, the Fighting Demon Ape was slightly taken aback.

Having witnessed too much fear and horror among cultivators, Chen Beiwu's reaction struck him as somewhat novel, but only slightly.

“You are different from other human cultivators. You can see the difference in strength between us, but you are still too weak.”

The Fighting Demon Ape's eyes remained cold as it extended its right hand toward Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu did not activate his magic power, but quietly watched as the Fighting Demon Ape extended its right finger and touched its forehead.

As expected, the Fighting Demon Ape showed no interest in fighting; instead, it was casting an ancient spell.

"Buzz!"

After confirming his qualifications, the Fighting Demon Ape looked at Chen Beiwu with a hint of appreciation in its eyes.

The test results of the inheritance stele were correct; this human cultivator was qualified to inherit the legacy of True Monarch Tianyan, and was also a worthy opponent to be waited for.

More than six thousand years have passed, and perhaps this human being can make it fulfill its promise and leave this secret realm.

"Once you have formed your Golden Core, you may challenge me."

"If you can withstand one of my attacks, you can obtain a fourth-tier mystic herb."
If you survive three moves, you can obtain a fourth-tier mystical treasure;
Surviving ten moves will grant you a fourth-tier Mystic Pill.

"If you can achieve a draw with me, you can obtain the inheritance of Elder Tianyan and inherit the resources of the entire secret realm."

After explaining the rules of the secret realm inheritance, the Fighting Demon Ape turned to leave.

"Wait!" Chen Beiwu quickly called out to the Fighting Demon Ape.

The Fighting Demon Ape stopped and turned around, looking at Chen Beiwu without saying a word.

"What if I can defeat you?" Chen Beiwu asked solemnly.

"Defeat me?" The Fighting Demon Ape's pupils contracted, a sense of inexplicable absurdity welling up within him.

"Roar...ho...hohoho...!"

The Fighting Demon Ape's laughter was initially low and muffled, like thunder, but then it quickly rose in pitch, causing the entire hall to tremble.

Interesting, so interesting!
It had been a long time since it had encountered such a bold opponent, one that dared to boast that it could defeat it.

This is something even True Monarch Tianyan couldn't do. The reason it was trapped in the Tianyan True Realm wasn't because True Monarch Tianyan was stronger, but because of the promise it made back then.

"You probably don't know." The Fighting Demon Ape stopped laughing, looked at Chen Beiwu, and said in a rather strange tone, "Even if I actively suppress my strength to the Golden Core level, my own rank is enough to kill a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

"So what?" Chen Beiwu's expression remained unchanged.

What God does not take, is to be blamed.

The Fighting Demon Ape is a rare and powerful beast that the Immortal Alliance encounters only once in ten thousand years.

If he could form a contract with the Fighting Demon Ape and learn from its bloodline power, his future cultivation path would be limitless.

"What's your name?"

Seeing the determination in Chen Beiwu's eyes, the Fighting Demon Ape became interested.

"Chen Beiwu".

“You have ambition.” The Fighting Demon Ape nodded, giving Chen Beiwu a deep look: “If you can really do it, I can grant you one request.”

"Any request is acceptable?" Chen Beiwu's spirits lifted.

"Only if you can defeat me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fighting Demon Ape took a step forward and threw a token at Chen Beiwu before its figure was completely swallowed up by the spatial rift.

"When you're ready, crush the token and challenge me."

Looking at the spatial rift that was slowly closing in the distance, Chen Beiwu withdrew his gaze and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Maintaining composure in the face of the Fighting Demon Ape is no easy task.

Even with the constant cleansing of his mind by the Mirror of Guardian, he almost felt fear under the oppressive power of the Fighting Demon Ape.

It's no wonder that all the cultivators from the five major sects who encountered the demonic ape met their demise.

'Strange, logically speaking, this Nascent Soul True Monarch secret realm shouldn't be able to trap the Fighting Demon Ape,' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

Fighting is the instinct of the Fighting Demon Ape, and it is also the meaning of its existence.

Every time the Battle Demon Ape is born, it causes chaos and upheaval.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Fighting Demon Ape clan either defeats countless strong individuals to reach the top.

They either die on the road of battle, or they are never confined to one place.

The demonic ape that appeared within the Heavenly Evolution Realm undoubtedly broke this ironclad rule.

'Could this Fighting Demon Ape be a rare species, one in ten thousand?' Chen Beiwu's mind raced.

According to ancient records of the Immortal Alliance, the Fighting Demon Ape is not bound by chains, but prefers to wear armor and seek out strong opponents to challenge.

Just then, the spirit beast pouch lit up, and a golden light appeared beside Chen Beiwu.

These are the golden eggs that some people can't let go of.

"Gurgle?" (It's gone?)

Golden Egg scanned left and right, his expression remaining solemn.

'right. ’

Chen Beiwu smiled and looked at the jade-paved medicinal herb patch.

Water dripping on stone wears it away; it takes more than a day to achieve this!
With his current cultivation level, subduing the Fighting Demon Ape and inheriting the secret realm's resources is nothing short of wishful thinking.

It would be better to proceed cautiously and gradually figure out the Fighting Demon Ape's personality before taking any action.

The most important thing now is to break through the protective array of the medicinal field and obtain the precious herbs and mysterious plants inside the jade-paved medicinal garden.

……

Time flew by after the demonic ape left.

After circulating his magical power for five days and five nights, Chen Beiwu finally 'saw' the moment when the great formation would be delayed, as mentioned by Su Miaozhenjun.

"Order it for me!"

Chen Beiwu infused his magic power and used the Star-Fixing Disc to forcibly anchor the space, causing the formation to become disordered and revealing a passageway that was allowed to pass through.

The moment the spatial passage appeared, Chen Beiwu's figure flashed, and he activated his Soaring Waves Stepping into the Jade-like Medicine Garden.

The next moment, the gap in the protective array rippled slightly, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to normal.

'Finally in.'

Chen Beiwu breathed a sigh of relief and activated the Ten Directions Gate to leave a spatial anchor point.

"Gulu."

Jin Dan swallowed hard, his gaze fixed on the crimson-skinned Blood Dragon Ginseng.

"Don't rush, it's better to take the Blood Dragon Ginseng after it's refined into a pill."

Chen Beiwu patted the golden egg's head and took out six spirit-locking boxes from his storage ring.

He then carefully picked the Blood Dragon Ginseng, Moon Soul Fungus, Golden Thunder Bamboo, Soul-Devouring Flower, Bodhi Vine, and Soul-Nourishing Lotus one by one and placed them into the Soul-Locking Box.

Only the last remaining plant, with its emerald-green leaves and a halo of spiritual energy, was left behind—the Myriad Mysterious Grass.

"Gulu?"

Golden Egg tilted its head, its eyes showing confusion.

"The Myriad Manifestations Herb disperses upon contact and vanishes upon being picked; it cannot be preserved and requires direct refinement with magical power," Chen Beiwu explained.

The Heavenly Gang Dharma Image is the hallmark of the Nascent Soul True Lord.

He has not yet achieved the Golden Core stage, let alone comprehended the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form. Directly refining the Myriad Forms Mystic Grass would be no different from wasting a precious resource. He can only continue to leave the Myriad Forms Mystic Grass untouched.

'Alright, we should go back now.'

Unsure whether the Fighting Demon Ape was paying attention to him, Chen Beiwu did not immediately activate the Ten Directions Gate to return to the Immortal Alliance. Instead, he chose to spend two days traveling to the Five-Colored Vortex at the exit of the secret realm.

……

Immortal League.

Two figures suddenly appeared at the foot of the majestic and imposing Yuqing Mountain.

"No wonder it's the number one blessed land of the Immortal Alliance!" Xu Ziqing couldn't help but exclaim.

Compared to the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, the Nine Refinements Upper Sect, which she studied at, ultimately lacked a lot of foundation.

"Entry into this mountain is forbidden; anyone who trespasses will be executed!"

Upon seeing the contents of the jade tablet at the foot of the mountain, Xu Lingling's eyelids twitched. She looked at her best friend, and the two of them immediately exchanged bewildered glances.

"What are you doing standing here?" a deep voice suddenly rang out.

The two women looked down and found a tiny old tortoise suddenly appearing on the ground.

"Greetings, senior. We've come to visit a friend," Xu Ziqing said with a slight bow, explaining her purpose.

The old tortoise scrutinized the two women and said calmly, "You should leave. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Jade Purity Mountains. That's an ironclad rule."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lingling couldn't help but show disappointment in her eyes.

She knew that with Chen Beiwu's talent and wit, he would definitely attract many female cultivators after entering the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Therefore, her goal was not simple: to exchange the Earthly Fiend Treasure Egg with Chen Beiwu, and also to gather intelligence on the enemy to prevent her home from being raided.

"Since we can't get in, let's send a message to Bei Wu and ask him to come out," Xu Ziqing said gently.

Upon hearing the words "Beiwu" from the other party, the old turtle, who had previously disregarded the two women, suddenly paused and raised his head.
