In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

coming.

This is the first overlord to arrive, but not the last.

Shi Geng could clearly sense that behind the demon ape, a terrifying aura was approaching, and a faint aura was reviving in the collapsed cave.

The demon ape roared, tearing apart several ferocious beasts that were still digging frantically. Then, it stomped its feet, causing the hard ground to explode. Amidst the flying dust, the gilded, still majestic body of the Suanni was finally fully revealed.

The demon ape pounded its chest, letting out a deafening roar, its fierce eyes fixed on the Suanni's corpse, its greed undisguised.

As overlords deep within the mountains, if they could devour the remains of this Suanni, their cultivation would surely reach new heights and their strength would skyrocket!

However, before it could even open its mouth, a deafening roar resounded, like thunder from the heavens.

"Moo—"

A wild bull roared and swept across the sky, and the distant mountains and forests were suddenly torn apart by a terrifying flame!

It was a giant, fiery bull, its entire body a deep crimson red, standing over ten meters tall and nearly thirty meters long. Its four hooves trod on fire, and wherever it passed, the air was distorted and boiled by the heat.

Its body was surrounded by raging flames, and its fur was like blood-red silk, gleaming with a terrifying crimson light. With each step it took, it seemed as if a volcano was awakening in the dark.

Upon seeing this, the demon ape's fur stood on end, and it roared furiously!

The fat meat that was about to be eaten was suddenly blocked. How could it tolerate this? It suddenly swung its arm and slammed it hard into the ground. Stone fragments flew everywhere. Its ferocious power was overwhelming. It actually wanted to stop the Fire Demon Bull directly.

"Moo—!"

Undeterred, the Fiery Bull charged forward, its four hooves scorching the earth black. Its thick, curved horns glowed with intense fire, making it resemble a moving volcano as it relentlessly crashed into the earth.

Boom—!

The ape's arm and the bull's horn collided with a deafening roar, sending up a cloud of dust, and flames and ferocity intertwined and exploded.

The two ferocious beasts went completely berserk, and they fought fiercely around the Suanni's corpse, tearing with their claws, goring with their horns, smashing with their fists, and trampling with their hooves, causing the entire mountain forest to tremble violently.

The two overlord-level ferocious beasts were locked in a fierce battle, and no one noticed that the golden body of the Suanni, which should have been lifeless, suddenly opened its eyes!

"Old Suanni, it's having a final burst of energy before it dies."

A glint of light flashed in Shi Geng's eyes.

Through telepathy, he clearly sensed that the almost vanished life force within the Suanni was rapidly and frantically reviving at an eerie speed!

As soon as Shi Geng finished speaking, a burst of golden light shone brightly, and the entire mountain forest was dyed into a dazzling golden hue, with the grass, trees, and rocks all covered in a layer of sacred golden radiance.

But the Suanni, which should have been lifeless, suddenly leaped up, its ferocious power sweeping across all directions!

"roar--!!"

A roar, like a thunderclap from the heavens, shook the mountains, made all beasts grovel, and distorted the very air.

The demon ape and the blazing bull, who had been locked in fierce combat, froze in place, their fur standing on end.

The Suanni moved with the speed of a golden lightning bolt, directly attacking the two dominant beast kings.

"puff--"

Too fast, too sudden, there was no way to defend against it.

A flash of golden light passed by, and even though the demon ape reacted with lightning speed, one of its thick arms was still torn off, and blood shot into the sky, splashing dozens of feet high!

"Snap!"

On the other side, the Fiery Bull Demon, whose body was engulfed in flames, had its massive horn, several meters long, along with a large chunk of flesh, snapped off by a single claw from the Suanni. It crashed heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

"The Suanni is alive?"

The little one's eyes widened, and he finally understood why Shi Geng hadn't let the Azure Scaled Eagle take the opportunity to swoop down and snatch the corpse.

No one expected that this old Suanni, which had been feigning death from beginning to end, would suddenly erupt and tear off the arm of the Demon Ape and smash the horn of the Fire Demon Bull with a single move. Its ferocious power was overwhelming, clearly indicating that it intended to bury these two overlord-level ancient species together here!

The three overlord-level ancient remnants fought fiercely, and the violent aftershocks swept across the surrounding area, instantly engulfing the ferocious beasts and human groups that had come to covet the Suanni's remains.

In just a moment, eight or nine out of ten living beings were killed or injured, leaving no trace of their bodies, and their blood stained the entire mountain forest!

The only place in the entire battlefield that remained unscathed and unaffected by the aftershocks was the mountain where Shi Geng and his group were located.

"We're really lucky, Shih Heng, you really know how to pick a place."

The little one spoke with a look of relief.

The battles between the three ancient species were so fierce that they could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split open; it was simply beyond their ability to get involved.

Even the Azure Scaled Eagle, known as a regional overlord in the outer regions, is still far inferior to these three true ancient species.

Shi Geng smiled slightly and did not offer any further explanation.

They weren't just lucky; this safe place was an excellent location that he had foreseen through his utmost sincerity.

As long as they don't rashly get involved in the battle, this place will be the safest haven in the vicinity.

Shi Geng's eyes were sharp as he watched the battle quietly. His eyes shone with divine light as he took in every rune trajectory and every precious technique used in the fight between the three ancient species.

What was a devastating battle to others was, in his eyes, a most direct and complete demonstration of primal magical arts.

The golden body of the Suanni shone brightly, and each of its attacks was accompanied by golden lightning, tearing through the air and suppressing all living beings;

The demon ape swung its arm in a rage, its dark and malevolent aura swirling around it, the runes ferocious and domineering.

The Fiery Bull Demon trod on fire with its four hooves, and crimson runes erupted like magma, burning mountains and boiling seas.

Each collision of the three causes countless ancient runes to explode and then recombine in an instant, representing the most fundamental and ancient secrets of the ancient techniques.

Shi Geng remained calm and composed, but his mind had already sunk into the "True Spirit Space," transmitting what he saw and heard to the Heavenly Dao Shi Geng.

He's trying to steal the signature techniques of the three overlords.

Little Dot felt that Shi Geng's aura was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

It is unknown how much time has passed, but the Demon Ape and the Blazing Bull were utterly terrified. Dragging their battered and bruised bodies, they dared not linger any longer and fled in panic.

In a matter of moments, they vanished without a trace.

Only the Suanni remained standing proudly on the battlefield, its massive golden body still radiating divine light, majestic like an ancient divine mountain, overlooking this ravaged, blood-red land.

Although it severely damaged two overlords in this battle, its own newly recovered vitality was also weakened again due to the intense consumption.

Its massive body trembled slightly, and the golden light around it gradually receded. The Suanni slowly turned its body, and its golden beast eyes looked directly at the mountain peak where Shi Gen was located.

The little one's heart tightened suddenly: "It...it found us?"

The blue-scaled eagle's feathers stood on end, its wings taut, ready to take off and flee at any moment.

Shi Geng remained calm and said indifferently, "Don't be afraid, it's already dead."

He could clearly sense that the last trace of life within the Suanni had been completely extinguished.

All the power that it had unleashed in its final burst of energy was used to severely injure the two overlord-level ancient remnants. Now it was completely exhausted and had lost all its ferocity.

"Is he really dead?"

The little one scratched his head, still somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, completely dead. Let's go down."

Shi Geng nodded slightly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he leaped onto the back of the Azure Scaled Eagle.

After patiently observing and waiting until now, it's finally time to reap the benefits and come down from the mountain to pick up the bargains!

With a flap of its wings, the Azure-Scaled Eagle carried the two of them, transforming them into a streak of light as it swooped down toward the golden, gleaming remains of the Suanni.
