Chapter 1041: 755 Chaos Netherworld Ape_2

But now, he had no choice. To resolve the hidden danger in his body, he had no reason to refuse Jiang Chen, nor could he refuse Jiang Chen.

Immediately, Wu Zhiqi completely opened his heart and mind, defenseless as he looked at Jiang Chen. At that moment, Jiang Chen could have easily seriously wounded him if he had made a move.

"Fellow Taoist, you are generous!"

With praise, Jiang Chen released a strand of Divine Thought, which entered Wu Zhiqi’s forehead and entered his Sea of Consciousness.

"Such dense Sha Qi!"

As soon as he entered Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness, Jiang Chen was startled. The Sea of Consciousness of others was usually filled with grey fog. However, Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness was different; everything he could see was filled with gray-black Chaos Sha Qi.

Clearly, Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness had already been eroded by the Chaos Demigod.

"Fellow Taoist, the lingering thought of the Chaos Demigod is right ahead." Suddenly, Wu Zhiqi’s spirit appeared in front of Jiang Chen, leading the way.

In fact, there was no need for Wu Zhiqi to lead the way; Jiang Chen had already found the location of the lingering thought of the Chaos Demigod.

Such a large Mount Buzhou, suppressing the center of Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness, firmly pressed down the lingering thought of the Chaos Demigod below it, Jiang Chen was not blind; how could he not see it.

Let alone, this Mount Buzhou was transformed by Jiang Chen’s Divine Ability.

...

"Is this the lingering thought of the Chaos Netherworld Ape?"

Under Mount Buzhou, Jiang Chen saw the motionless Demon God’s lingering thought being suppressed there.

It was a monkey, somewhat resembling Wu Zhiqi, yet also somewhat resembling Sun Wukong. However, it was more ferocious than both of them, its body enveloped in Sha Qi, and its eyes blood-red, radiating endless ferocity.

Especially its two exposed fangs, though its body was clearly ethereal, those fangs still flashed with a cold light, chilling to the beholder.

"Yes, this is the Chaos Netherworld Ape, mastering the Tao of battle, a Chaos Demigod who is simply the embodiment of combat, every part of its body is a weapon, and every part of its body can unleash powerful Divine Abilities."

"In the Ancient Era, I also once saw Great Ancestor Kunpeng make a move, considered a top existence in the realm of Divine Abilities, yet compared to the Chaos Netherworld Ape, that was nothing, not even comparable."

Glancing at the motionless lingering thought of the Chaos Netherworld Ape, Wu Zhiqi spoke with evident wariness.

The two parties had been in a standoff for one million years, and Wu Zhiqi was truly frightened by the Chaos Netherworld Ape.

His Divine Abilities, in front of the Chaos Netherworld Ape, were like child’s play, easily broken apart. Had it not been for the last bit of his strength, he feared he would have been killed by the Divine Abilities of the Chaos Netherworld Ape long ago.

"Divine Abilities entering the Tao? Truly formidable!"

Jiang Chen also followed the path of Divine Abilities, and he was more than familiar with Wu Zhiqi’s description.

That was the realm of Divine Abilities entering the Tao, turning Divine Abilities into instinct, merging them into one’s entire body, hence every movement carried the power to destroy Heaven and Earth.

Just like Divine Ability becoming sentient, this was a realm Jiang Chen had yet to reach.

And the Chaos Netherworld Ape, being the embodiment of battle and born for combat, his understanding of Divine Abilities naturally reached an unimaginable level. Let alone Great Ancestor Kunpeng, even Donghuang Taiyi who achieved Tao through Divine Abilities, couldn’t surpass him.

"The Chaos Demigod is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, he is already dead. Fellow Taoist, do not belittle yourself so; if we can’t deal with a live Chaos Demigod, can’t we deal with one that has already fallen?"

Seeing Wu Zhiqi looking terrified, Jiang Chen knew he was psychologically shadowed by the Chaos Demigod and couldn’t help but speak out to comfort him.

It’s not shameful for the beings of the Primordial Era to be defeated by a Chaos Demigod. After all, the Chaos Demigod had better aptitude, received more resources, and lived longer, so it’s quite normal for him to be stronger than the beings of the Primordial Era, isn’t it?

But while it’s acceptable to acknowledge the strength of the Chaos Demigod, one should not develop fear towards him. In the journey of practice, the most feared thing is to harbor fear.

Once fear is entertained, this life is as good as over, with no possibility of further progress.

"Think about it, the Chaos Netherworld Ape was so strong, but wasn’t he still suppressed by you?"

Jiang Chen spoke of old times to bolster Wu Zhiqi’s confidence. Initially, when the Chaos Netherworld Ape possessed Wu Zhiqi, he truly was no match for him and was suppressed.

It could be said that this was the proudest period in Wu Zhiqi’s life.

"The Human King said, ’Having been suppressed by the Chaos Netherworld Ape for many years, my courage has increasingly diminished, and I’ve even developed a fear of him. It really shouldn’t be so.’"

Wu Zhiqi was originally a great master, with an exceedingly strong heart of the Tao. His current timidity was merely due to the influence of the Chaos Demigod. Now, reminded repeatedly by Jiang Chen, he immediately realized something was amiss, and with a start, he shook off the influence of the Chaos Demigod and recovered his former state.

Physically noticeable, Wu Zhiqi’s vigor was significantly replenished, and looking at his appearance, he seemed much younger.

The appearance of a cultivator is unrelated to age but linked to mindset; an older mindset ages the outward appearance, and vice versa. Influenced by the Chaos Demigod, Wu Zhiqi’s spirit had long since dispersed, which made him look older. Now that he had regained his motivation, his appearance naturally returned to a more youthful state.

"Pangu... "

As Jiang Chen and Wu Zhiqi were speaking, that sealed remnant spirit of the Demon God suddenly let out an extremely unwilling cry.

Immediately afterward, they saw Mount Buzhou, which was suppressing him, start to shake violently, and strands of Chaos Sha Qi began leaking out, attacking both of them.

"How could this be!"

Jiang Chen appeared very shocked. Although he knew the Chaos Demigod was powerful, he had not expected that the Demigod’s power could even erode Mount Buzhou.

This discovery made Jiang Chen’s mind feel strange; faintly, he seemed to understand something yet also understood nothing at all, as if a secret lay right before his eyes. Regrettably, it was as if obscured by a thin veil, preventing him from seeing through it.

"Human King, be careful!"

Seeing Jiang Chen distracted at a critical moment, Wu Zhiqi was utterly speechless to the extreme but still felt compelled to warn Jiang Chen.

"No matter, it’s just a residual thought, and it can’t turn the heavens!"

Snapping back to reality, he glanced at the Sha Qi surging towards him. Jiang Chen didn’t take it to heart at all, not even bothering to defend, merely frowning at the still trembling Mount Buzhou.

"It does have some ability!"

"Suppress!"

After thinking it over, Jiang Chen raised his hand and inscribed a mysterious rune resembling a dragon and a snake in the void, branding it onto Mount Buzhou.

Instantly, Mount Buzhou returned to calm, no matter how much the remnant spirit of the Demon God resisted, it couldn’t shake it in the slightest.

The Dragon and Snake imprint was the mark of the Pangu Axe.

With Mount Buzhou and the Pangu Axe together, suppressing a remnant spirit of a Demon God was indeed an easily accomplished task.

"Pity, the matter of reconstructing the Chaos World is of great importance and cannot be revealed; otherwise, by merely using the power of the Chaos Divine Territory, I could easily obliterate this Demon God remnant spirit."

Looking at the suppressed but not destroyed Demon God remnant spirit, Jiang Chen felt noticeably regretful.

Actually, beyond the Cycle Divine Palace, he also held another significant ace up his sleeve — the Chaos Divine Territory, within which there was a Mount Buzhou. If he used its power, even the Great Divine Transcendents could be easily suppressed.

It’s just a pity that, once the Chaos Divine Territory is used for reconstructing the Chaos World, it can’t be used lightly. Otherwise, with the keenness of those Great Divine Transcendents, once they saw the Chaos Divine Territory, they would immediately guess Jiang Chen’s intentions.

Thus, even if Jiang Chen used the Cycle Divine Palace, he would not use the Chaos Divine Territory.

He was still too weak in power, and all his plans, even those beneficial to Heaven and Earth, had to be concealed and protected.

After all, not everyone in this world hopes for Heaven and Earth to improve.

"Ah, although the Human King’s Divine Ability is formidable, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause," Wu Zhiqi said, watching the suppressed Chaos Demigod remnant spirit.

The remnant spirit inside him had also been suppressed before, King Yu once suppressed it with the power of the Nine States, and the First Emperor once suppressed it with the power of twelve golden figures. But what was the result? Not only did it fail to obliterate the Demon God remnant spirit, but it also made it stronger.

Therefore, even seeing the Demon God remnant spirit being suppressed, Wu Zhiqi found it hard to feel happy.
