Chapter 640: Battle Royale (No More Today) _1

In the Qingli Mountain Range, hundreds of cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle, with constant exploding sounds, a myriad of spiritual lights clashing intensely, and incessant cries of ghosts and howls of wolves.

Yang Tianshan was fighting with a hundred-zhang-tall green Giant Ape that emitted a thick stench of corpse decay and had ferocious light in its eyes, clearly indicating that it was a Corpse Refinement.

The green Giant Ape opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of green Corpse Fire that headed straight for Yang Tianshan.

Before the green Corpse Fire could touch Yang Tianshan, an odorous stench hit him in the face.

Yang Tianshan held a Banana Palm Fan that shone with a continuous flow of red light; with a gentle wave of his fan, a great expanse of red flames swept out.

The red flames surged and transformed into a colossal red Fire Phoenix, which, flapping its wings, crashed into the green Giant Ape’s body.

A thunderous boom resounded as the flames engulfed the body of the green Giant Ape.

Huge yellow boulders, each a hundred zhang in size, came crashing down, looking as though they would bury the green Giant Ape.

The green Giant Ape let out a strange roar as its body radiated a bright green light, causing the red flames on its body to dissipate quickly as if meeting its bane.

The green Giant Ape emitted a green sonic blast, which collided with the incoming yellow boulders.

The yellow boulders shattered into dust upon impact with the green sonic blast.

A flash of yellow light, and a ten thousand-zhang-tall yellow peak appeared above the head of the green Giant Ape, smashing down towards it.

With its arms thrust above its head, the green Giant Ape managed to support the falling yellow peak.

Its legs sunk into the ground as it opened its mouth to release a stream of green Corpse Fire onto the peak above it.

Suddenly, the yellow peak began to emit green smoke, and its spiritual light dimmed.

A black giant hand flashed into existence, slamming onto the yellow peak, which was then sent flying with new, fine cracks on its surface, demonstrating the strength of the Corpse Fire’s corrosive power.

Yang Tianshan frowned, about to utilize another method, when a ripple swept through the void above him. A pitch-black Ghost Claw emerged and slammed down towards him.

At the same moment, a chilling wail of ghosts echoed, causing Yang Tianshan to feel dizzy and slow in his response.

The black Ghost Claw struck his Protective Spirit Light, causing it to dim considerably.

A beam of black firelight appeared as a colossal black firebird manifested, slamming its wings into Yang Tianshan’s Protective Spirit Light, engulfing his figure in a wave of black flames.

His Protective Spirit Light shattered instantaneously, and he was overwhelmed by the black flames, emitting a terribly agonized scream.

A long blade, swirling with black light, flew towards him and cleaved Yang Tianshan in two. His body emitted a yellow light, revealing a glowing Tribulation-Substituting Bead, which then shattered into pieces.

A hundred li away in the void, a yellow light appeared, revealing the figure of Yang Tianshan, his eyes filled with terror.

No sooner had he reappeared when the black long blade flew toward him, accompanied by the ghastly wails of ghosts.

Yang Tianshan felt disoriented and nearly fell from mid-air.

Just then, the ground tore open, revealing a hundred-zhang-wide chasm, and a yellow Giant Ape emerged from beneath the earth, positioning itself in front of Yang Tianshan.

The yellow Giant Ape punched out, colliding with the black long blade.

A "clang" resounded as the black long blade was repelled.

"Taoist Friend Yang, are you alright?"

The voice of Shen Long came from the yellow Giant Ape.

They had just arrived at the Qingli Mountain Range and found the cultivators from Qianling Sect clashing with those from Yinluo Sect.

"I am fine, be careful. Taoist Friend Shen, he has a Corpse Refinement at the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation with immense strength, and he possesses a fifth-tier Spirit Flame," Yang Tianshan cautioned.

"Leave this place to me; go help the others!" the yellow Giant Ape said.

"To leave it to you, you do speak grandly," a tall, thin old man in black robes sneered, his face full of disdain.

"I don’t need so many people to deal with you," the yellow Giant Ape said calmly.

It took large strides toward the Green Giant Ape, moving swiftly.

With each step the Yellow Giant Ape took, the ground bore a clear footprint, accompanied by a long crack.

The Green Giant Ape’s eyes shone brightly with green light, shooting out thick beams of green light straight toward the Yellow Giant Ape.

The Yellow Giant Ape opened its mouth to emit a yellow sonic wave, shattering the two green lights.

Behind the Yellow Giant Ape, a black light brightened, and a black fire sparrow appeared, colliding with the Yellow Giant Ape and submerging its body in black flames.

The man in black robes revealed a mocking expression, certain that not even a fifth-order Monster Beast would dare to withstand the Black Flame Ghost Fire.

The Yellow Giant Ape opened its mouth and spat out a cyan flame, which landed on its body and overwhelmed the black flames.

The cyan and black flames intertwined, with the black flames clearly at a disadvantage.

"Fifth-order Spirit Flame? Very good, very good, after I kill you, my Black Flame Ghost Fire, having devoured this fifth-order Spirit Flame, will grow even more powerful,"

he exclaimed, his eyes brightening as his right hand reached into the void.

Above the Yellow Giant Ape’s head, the void fluctuated, and an inky black Ghost Claw emerged, racing straight for the Yellow Giant Ape.

The Yellow Giant Ape reacted quickly, its body glowing brightly with yellow light as it burrowed into the ground, causing the Ghost Claw to miss.

The Green Giant Ape sensed danger and tried to avoid it, only to be shocked to find it could not move a step, as if it were stuck to the ground.

The ground behind it tore open, and the Yellow Giant Ape burst forth from beneath, appearing behind it.

The Green Giant Ape turned around and swung its fists, smashing toward the Yellow Giant Ape.

It was a Corpse Refinement and did not know pain.

The Yellow Giant Ape was not afraid in the slightest, moving its arms to meet the oncoming assault.

As the four fists collided, a deafening roar was emitted, unleashing a powerful blast of air that broke the Green Giant Ape’s arms.

"How is this possible!"

The man in black robes exclaimed, his face filled with disbelief.

This Green-Eyed Poison Ape possessed immense strength; even after being turned into a Corpse Refinement, it could easily withstand Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, yet its arms were effortlessly broken by Shen Long?

The Yellow Giant Ape’s body shone with a bright yellow light as its right fist fiercely smashed down on the Green Giant Ape.

The man in black robes turned pale with shock, about to command the Corpse Refinement to dodge when a piercing, ear-splitting screech sounded, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

The Yellow Giant Ape’s fist smashed into the Green Giant Ape’s head, causing it to burst open instantly.

The Yellow Giant Ape’s arms hammered down fiercely on the Green Giant Ape’s chest, causing it to cave in on the spot.

A flash of blood light appeared, and a palm-sized bloody mountain materialized above the Yellow Giant Ape’s head.

The man in black robes pinched his spell, and the blood mountain instantly emitted a ghastly wailing sound, with countless ferocious ghostly faces rushing down toward their target.

With a thunderous roar, the blood-colored mountain hit the ground, creating numerous large cracks.

The man in black robes furrowed his eyebrows, feeling an ominous premonition.

A deafening thunderclap came from the sky as a thick silver lightning bolt descended from the heavens, striking the blood mountain and causing the ghostly faces to emit pitiful screams.

The blood-colored mountain soared into the sky, as if hurled by someone, leaving behind a vast pit in the ground that was completely empty.

A golden lightning shone behind the man in black robes as Shen Long appeared, with a pair of wings covered in golden electrical arcs on his back, wielding the Zyphyxial Blade.

He opened his mouth and breathed out a thick golden lightning bolt, which struck the man’s Protective Spirit Light. As the Spirit Light dimmed, the Zyphyxial Blade descended from the sky and cleaved through his Protective Spirit Light.

The Protective Spirit Light shattered instantly, and the man in black robes was split in two by Shen Long, his Nascent Soul separating from his body and fleeing toward the distance.

"Senior Brother Xu, save me..."

Before he could finish speaking, a thick bolt of golden lightning shot forth, striking the Nascent Soul, which then disintegrated into ash.

"Thunder Method! Art of Transformation!"

A brawny young man in a blood-red garment furrowed his brows, his expression turning solemn.
