"Boom!"
Lei Ling'er wielded the Thunder Sword and fiercely slashed at the black giant ape, producing a deafening explosion. The giant ape was shaken back repeatedly by Lei Ling'er.
The Thunder Sword in Lei Ling'er's hand was formed from the essence runes of all her strength. The Mad Blade from back then could no longer keep up with her needs.
Lei Ling'er's strength was terrifying; even when facing a raging Saint-level beast, she could still fiercely counterattack it.
Unlike the fierce battle with the previous Fatehunter clan, fighting the giant beast was a real showdown of strength, without the awkward situation of being unable to use his strength.
Long Chen hid behind a high mountain, quietly watching Lei Ling'er fiercely battle the black giant ape, studying its strength.
"It's clearly a magical beast—how can it possess such terrifying power?" Long Chen was shocked in his heart.
This was already Lei Ling'er's seventh fierce battle with the black giant ape. She and Huo Ling'er took turns fighting, fighting the giant ape and buying Long Chen a chance to heal.
However, Huo Ling'er's strength was slightly inferior to Lei Ling'er's, but the black giant ape was clearly more countered by the flames, giving Huo Ling'er quite an advantage.
Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er took turns fiercely battling the black giant ape, changing shifts every incense stick's time. The black giant ape also realized Long Chen was up to trouble and tried several times to kill him, but with Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er blocking them, he couldn't harm Long Chen in the slightest.
In the end, it had no choice but to fiercely battle Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er. Now, after four hours, the aura of the black giant ape showed no sign of diminishing, which shocked Long Chen.
That black giant ape was nothing more than a demonized beast, the lowest level of existence in the Immortal Realm, yet here it had grown to such a terrifying level.
Fortunately, it was powerful, but its intelligence was extremely low. This was also the main reason Long Chen didn't retreat but chose to fight fiercely with it.
This was an unknown world, with countless dangers waiting for him outside. If he ran around recklessly, he might provoke even more troublesome giant beasts.
If they could take down this magical beast first, they'd have a place to settle down, which would be temporarily safe.
"Boom boom boom... At
this moment, Huo Ling'er stepped onto the stage. Lei Ling'er withdrew, endless flames surged, and the sacred chanting echoed through heaven and earth. As soon as Huo Ling'er struck, she unleashed her full power, locked in a fierce battle with the black giant ape.
What comforted Long Chen was that both Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er possessed the strength to fight a Saint. Otherwise, he would be in danger today. Facing this black giant ape, he didn't even have the courage to fight.
But what puzzled Long Chen was that although the black giant ape was fiercely battling Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er, its killing intent still locked onto him. Long Chen didn't know how it managed to do it.
Logically, no matter how powerful this magical beast is, due to limited intelligence, it's impossible for it to have a mental or soul lock. But here, Long Chen encountered it.
"Could it be bloodline locking? It sensed the dragon blood inside me? "Long Chen suddenly thought of a possibility.
Thinking of this, Long Chen's heart tightened. If that were true, it would cause great trouble. The dragon is the leader among a hundred scales and the emperor of all beasts. When a dragon is powerful, all beasts submit and dare not defy.
But when dragons are weak, they are regarded as a magical elixir for walking. Especially for those magical beasts and demonic beasts, devouring even a drop of true dragon essence blood can cause mutation, becoming an unknown super-powerful species.
In this world, there are countless species related to the dragon clan, but only half of the species truly emerged from the fusion of the dragon clan.
The other half mutated after devouring the dragon clan's essence blood, forming new species. To mention, the Earthwalking Dragon species alone was basically a species mutated by devouring the dragon clan's essence blood.
If Long Chen's calculation was correct, the reason the black giant ape could lock onto him was because of a longing for its bloodline—it had mutated by devouring dragon blood.
Thinking of this, Long Chen broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he hadn't run around when he was attacked; otherwise, he would have become a firefly in the night, attracting countless terrifying monsters. At that point, he would have truly been finished.
Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er took turns fiercely battling the black giant ape, causing a huge commotion. However, there were no terrifying magical beasts nearby. Clearly, this was its territory, and other magical beasts dared not approach easily.
These Saint-level magical beasts had survived for countless years and were extremely familiar with the surrounding terrain, rarely setting foot on someone else's territory.
If you step into someone else's territory, it means declaring war. Wars are extremely aggressive; once war breaks out, it's a fight to the death, fighting to the end. Very few Warwars are defeated and flee; most will die in battle and won't flee.
This is also why people label Warcraft as low intelligence—because they really aren't smart, and once they believe in something, they won't change.
So, as long as Long Chen didn't leave the territory of the black giant ape, he was safe for the time being. A day and night passed, and as Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er took turns fighting fiercely, the aura of the black giant ape finally began to decline.
Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er took turns resting in the chaotic space. After so much time, they still maintained their formidable combat power.
The black giant ape, whose aura had diminished, showed no fear; instead, it became agitated, roaring repeatedly. This is a trait of magical beasts: when it senses danger, it will fly into a rage and attack even more fiercely.
When it senses its life is threatened, it enters a berserk state, even exhausting its bloodline power and perishing together with the opponent.
When the black giant ape became agitated, Long Chen finally made his move. By now, he had already returned to his peak condition. The moment he appeared, the black ape roared and charged at him, ignoring Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er.
"Boom!"
Long Chen threw a punch, the star sea behind him swirling, divine rings surging. This punch gathered all his power, but the black giant ape's fist slammed fiercely, causing Long Chen to tremble violently and be sent flying, nearly coughing up blood.
This was Long Chen's first time fighting a Saint-level powerhouse head-on, and after the first fight, he immediately felt the gap was huge.
In terms of absolute strength, he was no match for Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er, unable to withstand even a single punch from the black giant ape.
"Roar!"
The black giant ape roared and charged at Long Chen. At this moment, Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er fought with all their might. A web of thunder and flames intertwined before it, while the black ape kept charging forward with all its might. Just as Long Chen had predicted, the moment he appeared, the ape saw only him as its enemy.
This once again confirmed Long Chen's suspicion: magical beasts are beasts driven entirely by instinct. Their instinct is to devour the dragon blood inside Long Chen. After Long Chen stepped forward, his eyes were filled only with Long Chen.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The net of thunder and fire intertwined between Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er was stretched so tightly by the black giant ape that it cracked and showed signs of breaking. Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er's expressions changed. The power of the black giant ape had grown even stronger—it was about to go berserk.
Once the black giant ape goes berserk, its power will surge, and at that point, they probably won't be able to handle it.
"Whoosh."
At that moment, Long Chen flicked his finger, and a golden divine light shot out, shooting straight into the mouth of the black giant ape.
The moment the golden divine light entered the mouth of the black giant ape, its body trembled violently,Immediately, a strange pattern appeared on his forehead, and Long Chen struck the line with his palm.
"Subdue me!"
