Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 158 Victory

Finally, after only thirty breaths, the enormous golden staff shadow swept away the dark water light that filled the sky. Three explosive sounds echoed in the void as the dark water light shattered. Kunpeng and Mahasthamaprapta fell to the ground, covered in blood and barely breathing.

Above the sky, Qian Shan, his face stained with traces of blood, held the Futian Staff in his right hand and the dying Chi-Bottomed Macaque in his left. Looking down at Kunpeng and Mahasthamaprapta, the smile on Qian Shan's face slowly disappeared, and the raging golden flames emanating from his body turned into countless streams of light and dissipated.

"Out of respect for Taiyi and Shakyamuni, I will spare your lives this time. If you want to settle your karmic debts next time, send someone stronger."

Looking at the starlight falling from above and the distant wisp of Buddhist chanting, Qian Shan revealed an arrogant expression. He swung his Heaven-Subduing Staff, and the Great Strength Bodhisattva and the Kunpeng were swept away by Qian Shan's staff, flying hundreds of millions of miles away.

The Heaven-Subduing Staff stirred the heavens and earth. The golden pillar first crushed the falling starlight, and then pierced through the distant chanting. The sky and the earth trembled. Qianshan held the Heaven-Subduing Staff and looked fearlessly at the two majestic wills separated by billions of miles. His eyes were filled with a burning fighting spirit!

"Want to make a move? I've just finished warming up, let's begin now."

Qian Shan met the gazes of Taiyi and Shakyamuni, two top-tier beings of heaven and earth, without any fear. His aura rose again and again, even though his current cultivation and rank were inferior to those of Taiyi and Shakyamuni.

However, Qian Shan felt no fear whatsoever. The fierce battle with Kunpeng and the other two had already shown him the true bloodline supernatural power of the Four Chaos Monkeys: they grew stronger with each battle!

Unless it is an insurmountable absolute power, the Four Monkeys of Chaos cannot be defeated. During the fierce battle, the purity of their bloodline will continuously rise towards that of the Primordial Sacred Ape, and their power, realm, and cultivation will continuously improve.

If Qian Shan were to engage in a life-or-death battle at this moment, his cultivation might directly reach the mid-stage of the Taiyi realm.

During the fierce battle with the Red-Bottomed Macaque, Qianshan sensed the continuous improvement of the Red-Bottomed Macaque's cultivation and combat power.

Therefore, Qian Shan unleashed his full power, severely injuring the Red-Bottomed Macaque. As a result, the Red-Bottomed Macaque, whose mind was dominated by Rahu, dared not confront Qian Shan head-on again, thus losing the opportunity to comprehend the true bloodline supernatural powers of the Four Chaotic Monkeys.

During his battle with Kunpeng, Qianshan had already sensed the extremely pure divine light within Kunpeng's body. Clearly, Kunpeng was a powerful being in the divine realm, a fact later confirmed by the starlight descending from the Great Luo Heavenly Palace.

Qianshan hoped that Taiyi or Shakyamuni could take action personally, as he wanted to use their help to see the limits of this Long-Armed Ape clone.

However, neither Taiyi nor Shakyamuni chose to attack Qianshan. They simply took Kunpeng and Mahasthamaprapta away and then ignored Qianshan.

Carrying the red-bottomed macaque, Qian Shan looked at the sky on the other side again. He could feel the gloomy gaze of the Demon Ancestor Rahu. With a cold smile, Qian Shan paid no attention to Rahu.

At this moment, Luo Hou was first severely injured by the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Light, and now he is entangled by the four ancient immortals of the Xuanmen who possess a trace of the former Demonic Path Two Ancestors Emperor Ke's fortune. This is when Luo Hou is at his weakest.

Given Rahu's temperament, he would not reveal himself at this time. Otherwise, not to mention Taiwei, the three great celestial beings of Buddhism and Taoism, Shakyamuni and Xuanmen, would not miss the opportunity to kick him while he was down.

Sitting cross-legged in the void, Qian Shan's left hand was engulfed in blazing golden flames. He easily destroyed the demonic origin within the Red-Bottomed Macaque's body and began to peruse the memories of the Macaque's entire life.

Qianshan shook his head, feeling sorry for the Red-Bottomed Macaque. As one of the Four Mischievous Monkeys, the Red-Bottomed Macaque's aptitude and foundation were no less than Qianshan's.

However, the Red-Bottomed Macaque encountered the Demon Ancestor Rahu shortly after its birth. Even though the Red-Bottomed Macaque burned its bloodline and erupted, it was to no avail. Before it could even unleash its full power, Rahu pierced its chest with his Heaven-Slaying Sword. Afterward, Rahu refined it into one of his demonic puppet incarnations.

Luo Hou's original intention was to gather the essence of the four chaotic monkeys and refine them into a avatar of the Primordial Sacred Ape. However, before the four chaotic monkeys were born, all their heavenly secrets and destinies were sealed by the Heavenly Dao, which made it impossible for Luo Hou to find the other three divine monkeys and thus unable to refine the avatar of the Primordial Sacred Ape.

Qianshan's left hand was burning the red-bottomed macaque's body with golden flames. The divine monkey's body, comparable to the divine metal of heaven and earth, easily collapsed under the burning of the golden flames, and streaks of extremely clear blood light appeared in Qianshan's left palm.

With a press of his left hand, Qian Shan absorbed the divine monkey essence of the Red-Bottomed Macaque into his own body. In that instant, a towering holy ape seemed to appear before Qian Shan's eyes, supporting the heavens and earth and standing on the four poles.

A pair of golden eyes, comparable to the sun and moon, looked at Qianshan. The vast and profound true meaning of the Great Dao emerged in his heart. The golden and crimson divine light around Qianshan intertwined and merged, transforming into an even purer spiritual light of the Great Dao.

In the crimson-gold radiance, Qian Shan had completely acquired all the supernatural powers of the Red-Bottomed Macaque, and his own cultivation level also advanced to the late stage of the Taiyi realm the moment he obtained the inheritance of the Primordial Sacred Ape.

The crimson-gold flames pierced the heavenly atmosphere like a pillar, and countless thunderbolts fell like a torrential rain, yet they could not harm a single hair on the mountain.

Qian Shan was immersed in the inheritance of the Primordial Sacred Ape. Although the Primordial Sacred Ape was torn apart by many powerful beings before it was even born, its aptitude and foundation were undoubtedly superior to many of the current top Primordial True Saints.

The inheritance of the Primordial Sacred Ape encompasses all paths and is vast and boundless. Within it, Qianshan saw almost all the true meanings of the Great Dao in the Primordial World. Most of these true meanings were extremely incomplete, but even so, they were a treasure to Qianshan.

Suppressing all distracting thoughts, Qianshan continuously comprehended the inheritance, power, heavenly secrets, mind, and transformation of the Primordial Sacred Ape. Many profound truths of the Great Dao were perfectly fused under an extremely sublime and mighty force.

This power was chaotic and all-encompassing, seemingly the legendary power of the primordial chaos. Whenever Qian Shan tried to comprehend this sublime power, his divine sense seemed to turn into a phantom, making it impossible to touch.

Qianshan knew that this was because his current level of cultivation was not yet sufficient to touch this sublime and mighty power.

Without paying too much attention to this sublime power, Qianshan continued to comprehend the bloodline inheritance belonging to the Primordial Sacred Ape. Among this inheritance, Qianshan felt the inheritance belonging to the Long-Armed Ape and the Red-Bottomed Macaque the most clearly.
