Chapter 359: Chapter 358: The Rampaging One-Horned Ape King

"Found it, look."

The Princess excitedly pointed to a distant cliff.

On the opposite cliff, there was a small green tree with three golden fruits hanging from it, emanating the fragrance Zhong Lin had just smelled.

The Princess, brimming with excitement, rushed forward, flying towards the fruit on the cliffside halfway up the mountain.

"Roar!"

A storm-like roar suddenly came from the distance, followed by a small mountain peak whistling through the air, carrying terrifying power as it smashed towards the airborne Princess.

The Princess was startled but showed no sign of panic on her face. Her body moved slightly as she struck down the peak with her palm.

Bang!

Accompanied by a loud boom, the entire small mountain peak shattered instantly, with countless fragments falling from the sky.

At this moment, a giant red-haired ape burst out from the mountain’s foot, running like the wind, covering nearly a hundred meters with each step, and even grabbing massive stones from the side to hurl at them. The stones hurtled through the air with a terrifying whistling sound.

This giant ape was nearly a hundred meters tall, with a large golden horn on its head. An aura of terror emanated from its body.

Upon seeing Zhong Lin and the Princess approach, it let out a thunderous roar and frantically hurled giant stones at the two.

"You continue picking the medicine, I’ll handle this monkey."

Zhong Lin snorted coldly, soaring into the air as he smashed the giant flying stone in front of him with a single punch.

"This is the King of the One-horned Violent Apes, be careful."

The Princess knew of Zhong Lin’s formidable strength, as martial artists capable of comprehending Fist Intent had exceptional combat power. After warning him, she continued to fly up, focusing on picking the medicine.

"Take this punch."

Zhong Lin roared, his body suddenly emanating a faint glazed radiance. The sound of dragon roars and elephant trumpets filled the air as a golden sea of Qi-Blood surged upward. With a heavy stomp, the ground within ten meters shattered and sank instantly without hindrance.

On the ruins, Zhong Lin shattered one stone after another, from fist-sized to even larger. The tremors sent them flying.

Then, his body, accompanied by booming thunder, suddenly broke through the sound barrier, rushing straight toward the King of the One-horned Violent Apes.

The fierce gale instantly swept away the surrounding dust clouds, forming a gray wind dragon.

In that instant, the powerful aura from Zhong Lin overwhelmed the ape, blocking its path. Enraged, it leaped towards him like an illusion.

The ape’s body rose like a dragon, raising its thick arms to strike down from several hundred meters away.

The air beneath the punch was instantly compressed by pure power, exploding with a crushing force.

Rumble!

At that moment, both punches clashed, and the air within a hundred-meter radius exploded with a deafening noise, instantly blown apart, forming a vacuum-like veil.

"Ha ha, good monkey, come again."

Zhong Lin shouted to the sky. His voice pierced the air like a sharp sword, and the surging Qi-Blood and boundless Spiritual Origin roared endlessly. Behind him, the massive phantom of a dragon and an elephant appeared, merging into an enormous terrifying dragon-elephant.

"Dragon Elephant Prison, overwhelming all."

Amidst the trembling of muscle and bone, Zhong Lin raised his arm, forming a Fist Seal with five fingers.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Fist Seal rose, causing the air to quiver as if the entire void slightly fluctuated beneath it.

Ripples emerged, resembling those on a water surface.

"Roar!"

The King of the One-horned Violent Apes, provoked by Zhong Lin’s terrifying Fist Intent, pounded its chest twice with its fists. With a furious roar, it swung its arms toward Zhong Lin again.

The next moment, two punches collided.

Boom!

The world lost its color in an instant. A violent shockwave akin to a tornado swept outwards, turning everything it touched into dust.

The ground trembled fiercely, and towering clouds of smoke and dust surged skyward.

Within a few hundred meters’ radius of their battle, a violent explosion occurred, with countless fragments of earth and stone piercing through the sky like the most powerful crossbow bolts.

Whoa!

Zhong Lin leaned back a bit, retreating dozens of meters, carving a deep trench in the ground, while the King of the One-horned Violent Apes flew backward, heavily crashing into the mountain behind.

Zhong Lin shook his arm, feeling a numbness and pain. He could sense fine cracks appearing on his bones; this punch hadn’t yielded much advantage.

Crash!

The mountain stones crumbled, and the King of the One-horned Violent Apes rose from the debris. At that time, Zhong Lin suddenly noticed the ape’s horn was gone, and in its place was an even more massive form with fur as red as blood.

Zhong Lin was momentarily stunned. He assumed the horn was meant for attacking, but it was, in fact, storing power, allowing it to absorb and unleash even greater strength in times of danger.

"Roar..."

The King of the One-horned Violent Apes let out a skyward roar, its eyes burning with tangible fury.

Zhong Lin slowly stood up, gazing gravely at the now enraged King of the One-horned Violent Apes. The monkey’s power had multiplied several times, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Suddenly, Zhong Lin’s lips curled into a smile, and he provocatively beckoned the King of the One-horned Violent Apes with a finger.

"Come on! Little monkey, come hit me!"

"Roar!"

The King of the One-horned Violent Apes’ eyes turned crimson, and with a stomp, its body lunged forward, swinging its arms with the force of Taishan to smash down on Zhong Lin.

Rumble!

The earth trembled, and the mountains and rivers shattered, but there was no sign of Zhong Lin, only a colossal monkey roaring to the sky, angrily shouting.

High above in the void, Zhong Lin was fleeing at full speed, enveloped in sword light.

"A beast is a beast, even if it transforms into a demon, it’s not very wise. Such a shame about my Mirage Pearl."

Just now, he heard the Princess’s voice transmission that the Golden Origin Fruit was already in hand. Naturally, he wouldn’t continue clashing head-on with the King of the One-horned Violent Apes. He used the Mirage Pearl to create an illusion in place while he had long since escaped.

In the past, the King of the One-horned Violent Apes, with power rivaling a Xuandan Realm martial artist, would certainly be able to detect the flaw. After all, the Mirage Pearl can create illusions, but they are too fake and easily seen through.

But now, in its raging state, it had a singular thought in its mind: to tear Zhong Lin apart.

Its intelligence dropped, and its fury consumed its heart.

"Over here, over here."

In the distance, the Princess was eagerly beckoning Zhong Lin, who quickly flew over. The two of them didn’t linger, suppressing their Qi and swiftly disappearing from the scene.

"Did you get it?"

Zhong Lin also felt somewhat exhilarated, hurriedly inquiring.

The Princess chuckled, "With the Princess’s action, it’s naturally an effortless success. Just a mere Golden Origin Fruit, easily obtained."
