Chapter 1980: Chapter 1978: This Demon Ape’s Physical Body Is Extremely Strong

The real Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!

All the way here, Ye Tianchen and the Little Demon Bat Beast had felt something was off about this Medicine King Valley. It didn’t match the rumors at all—this was supposed to be a place where you could enter but never leave, incomparably dangerous—but it hadn’t lived up to that at all. Just as they were thinking that, they suddenly saw a true Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!

That peak was entirely piled up from bones—there were corpses of Demon Beasts, corpses of Human Clan Martial Artists, and even some corpses of unknown creatures. The bones were heaped together, fresh blood slowly seeping out, blood pooling everywhere. The thick stench of blood and the pungent, rancid smell made one feel like vomiting. This kind of scene felt even more terrifying and hair-raising than the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Pit!

Right at this moment, a Demon Ape as large as a mountain charged out, wielding a Black Battle Axe in its hand, rushing to slaughter Ye Tianchen, as if it wanted to turn Ye Tianchen into just another pile of bones in this heap.

Boom thud!

The Demon Ape kept swinging the Battle Axe in its hand, hacking at Ye Tianchen. Its strength was immense, its speed extremely fast. Even Ye Tianchen didn’t dare to take it lightly and kept retreating, for the moment not knowing how to subdue this Demon Ape.

Boom!

All of a sudden, the Demon Ape seemed to realize that Ye Tianchen’s speed was too fast. Even if it struck quickly, it might not be able to injure Ye Tianchen. So in that instant, it hurled the Black Battle Axe in its hand straight at Ye Tianchen. Just as Ye Tianchen was about to dodge, the Axe flew over his head—and suddenly enlarged, becoming as huge as a mountain. Ye Tianchen was startled for a moment; it was simply impossible to dodge!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen swung out a fist light, punching at the descending Black Battle Axe!

Bang!

But just then, the Demon Ape also charged right up to Ye Tianchen. A huge, furry palm slapped heavily toward Ye Tianchen. He had just blocked the power of that Black Battle Axe, and now could only slam out a palm with his left hand to meet the Demon Ape head-on!

Thump!

A figure was sent flying backward—it was Ye Tianchen. After his left palm collided head-on with the Demon Ape’s palm, he immediately felt how terrifyingly strong the Ape’s power was. His entire body was blasted back, smashing into a towering ancient tree, shattering that massive tree to pieces. Even the whole area trembled for a moment, which showed how powerful this Demon Ape really was!

Roar!

With a single strike, the Demon Ape had blasted Ye Tianchen away, and it threw its head back and roared at the sky. The Black Battle Axe flew back into its hand. The Demon Ape then turned its head to look at the Little Demon Bat Beast flying not far away. The killing intent in its eyes was so intense it scared the Little Demon Bat Beast out of its wits.

”Oh crap, this has nothing to do with me, alright? I don’t even know that guy—I’m just passing by, just passing by!” the Little Demon Bat Beast hurriedly said to the Demon Ape.

Bang!

Before the Little Demon Bat Beast had even finished talking, the Black Battle Axe in the Demon Ape’s hand came smashing down at it. The Little Demon Bat Beast was frightened into dodging frantically, barely managing to avoid the blow. Its face twisted. With its level of strength, how could it possibly be a match for the Demon Ape? If it didn’t run for its life, it could only sit and wait for death.

”D-don’t, come on, we’re both from the Demon Clan, the same Species, right? Can’t you give me some face and just let me pass?” the Little Demon Bat Beast said with a dry, fawning laugh.

Bang!

The Black Battle Axe came slashing over again, this time much faster and with even greater power. The Little Demon Bat Beast turned to flee, but was blocked by a surge of force. The Demon Ape had already anticipated that it would try to run and had sealed off its escape route beforehand. Looking at it now, the Little Demon Bat Beast really seemed doomed!

”No way, I, the Little Demon Bat Beast, haven’t even set foot on the path of Cultivation and I’m gonna die like this? Heaven, I’m too miserable! The Demon Bat Ancestor awakened my Spiritual Sense, let me understand human speech, and this is still the end I get—dead anyway. I don’t even consider myself a member of the Demon Bat Clan anymore. I thought by following this Human Clan Martial Artist I’d see my day in the sun. Who knew... I’m still gonna die!” the Little Demon Bat Beast wailed loudly, its face scrunched up in grief.

Clang!

All of a sudden, a punch force blasted in from not far away, slamming heavily into the Demon Ape’s Black Battle Axe. The impact shook the Axe away, sending it flying back into the Demon Ape’s hand.

”Boss, you’re still alive...” The Little Demon Bat Beast spun around, looking at Ye Tianchen in surprise and delight.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the Little Demon Bat Beast, feeling genuinely a bit depressed. How had he run into so many useless troublemakers? Was he also a troublemaker like this in his previous life? Thinking of that, he really was a bit speechless. He could only nod and say, ”Don’t worry. If you follow me and earn some merit, I’ll definitely protect you.”

”But of course, Boss. I’ll do my absolute best!” the Little Demon Bat Beast replied with a sly grin.

Roar!

A roar made Ye Tianchen frown. He couldn’t help but look in the direction of the Demon Ape, only to see the Demon Ape’s entire body ignite with a layer of Black Flames. That Fire was very strong; Ye Tianchen could clearly feel it was pure Physical Body Power. He frowned and said, ”A Demon Ape with not-so-strong Cultivation Realm, yet its Physical Body Power has reached the Late Stage Martial Saint Realm. Truly extraordinary. I really don’t know how it cultivated to such a level!”

Rumble!

The Demon Ape saw that one strike had failed to Shock Kill Ye Tianchen, and it seemed somewhat enraged. Immediately, it gripped its Black Battle Axe, its whole body blazing with Black Flames, and charged at Ye Tianchen.

”You pride yourself on your powerful physical body, then I’ll compete with you in Physical Body Power, lest you say I’m bullying you!” Ye Tianchen stared coldly at the Demon Ape and said.

Buzz!

Flames erupted; Ye Tianchen’s body was also wrapped in a layer of Golden Light. This Golden Light was the manifestation of Ye Tianchen’s Physical Body Power exploding. He did not dodge, turning into a beam of light and ramming straight toward the Demon Ape.

Bang!

The Demon Ape was startled; it hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to dare charge back at it. However, it did not underestimate Ye Tianchen. This Demon Ape had already gained intelligence; being able to cultivate its Physical Body Power to the Late Stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm meant it was no ordinary existence. The Demon Ape felt the force on Ye Tianchen’s body; when Ye Tianchen rushed up to its face, it heavily swung down its Black Battle Axe!

Whoosh!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen flickered aside, dodging the Demon Ape’s smashing Black Battle Axe, and at the same time used his own body to slam heavily into the Demon Ape.

Bang-dong!

The Demon Ape was burning Physical Body Power in the form of Black Flames, while Ye Tianchen was burning Physical Body Power in the form of Golden Flames. The two mighty forces collided, actually ending up dead even. Ye Tianchen was shocked and frowned; the Demon Ape also glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen and sent a palm slapping toward his head.

Bang!

Their palms collided, and Ye Tianchen and the Demon Ape separated once again. Their clash of Physical Body Power ended in a draw!

Ye Tianchen frowned; he was truly a bit shocked. The Yijin Jing spell focused precisely on tempering the body, and Ye Tianchen put utmost emphasis on this. Ever since becoming a Martial Artist, Ye Tianchen’s Physical Body Power had always surpassed his Martial Arts Cultivation. In almost every great battle, even life-and-death fights, he had never lost in a contest of Physical Body Power. He had never even met a truly evenly matched opponent. Yet this Demon Ape smashed into him head-on with its body and actually fought him to a draw. That really shook him!

However, what Ye Tianchen did not know was that this Demon Ape was even more shocked. It had absolutely never imagined that a Martial Artist of the Human Clan could actually clash with it head-on in terms of physical body. One must know that from ancient times till now, among the three great Species born in the Martial Arts World—the Ancient Alien Race, the Demon Clan, and the Human Clan—the Human Clan’s physique was innately the weakest and the least powerful. The Ancient Alien Race and the Demon Clan were born with extremely tough physical bodies, and with later Cultivation, they became even more terrifying. What’s more, this Demon Ape had once received guidance from a mighty living being deep within Medicine King Valley, guarding there a Divine Herb of vital importance to the Demon Clan. Its Physical Body Power was even more unfathomable. For Ye Tianchen to collide head-on with its body like that truly left this Demon Ape utterly astonished!

Roar!

With an enraged roar, the Demon Ape seemed to have been provoked. It had not expected a mere little Human Clan Martial Artist to actually be able to clash with it in pure physical body. It let out a great bellow, and the Black Flames over its body burned even more violently, as if it intended to use absolute Physical Body Power to Shock Kill Ye Tianchen!

”Come!”

Ye Tianchen also spoke in a deep voice. At the same time, the Golden Flames on his body burned even more fiercely, roaring up in an instant. At this moment, Ye Tianchen also ignited all of his Physical Body Power, fully unleashing strength at the Late Stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm in terms of body. He, too, had a surge of anger. This Demon Ape was too overbearing; thinking its Physical Body Power was unmatched, it wanted to crush him with absolute force. Unfortunately, Ye Tianchen would never back down!

Boom!

Boom!

The Demon Ape charged rapidly at Ye Tianchen, and Ye Tianchen also charged rapidly at the Demon Ape. This time, neither of them used weapons; they only used the Power of their physical bodies, with the Flames of Physical Body Power burning on them as they rammed into each other. Both of them had a bit of fire in their hearts, each wanting to see whose Physical Body Power was truly the strongest!

Bang-dong!

A heaven-shaking boom rang out, making this stretch of heaven and earth tremble uncontrollably. The nearby Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea kept collapsing. Piles of Demon Beast corpses, corpses of Human Clan Martial Artists, and corpses of countless unknown creatures all tumbled down from that Corpse Mountain. Such a scene would definitely scare an ordinary person to death!

And Ye Tianchen and the Demon Ape, using their strongest Physical Body Power, crashed into each other. Both stood where they were, glaring fiercely at the other, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, eyes filled with killing intent. Neither had been knocked flying by the other. However, the ground under their feet had caved in, forming a bottomless-looking pit... (To be continued.
