4241 A Demon Beast in the Realm of a Supreme God
It was obvious that the veiled woman, who was much stronger than Jiang Yu Wei; Hou Dong; and Qiu Ping, was no match for the ten ape-like monsters.
Jiang Yu Wei, Hou Dong, and Qiu Ping were shocked by the result of the collision between the veiled woman and the ten ape-like monsters. They stopped in their tracks before they hastily retreated. Even a powerful imminent Supreme God was no match for the monsters; they naturally did not have delusions about being able to deal with the monsters.
“The tenth level is clearly much harder than the previous level!” Hou Dong exclaimed. At this time, he managed to stay calm knowing that there was another imminent Supreme God in their group who had yet to make a move.
Qiu Ping looked at Jiang Yu Wei with a helpless expression as he said through Voice Transmission, “Junior sister, the four of us are no match for the monsters. Why don’t we let Duan Ling Tian try to kill the monsters on his own now?”
Jiang Yu Wei did not respond to Jiang Yu Wei, and she also did not say anything to Duan Ling Tian and Hou Lian Yu. Instead, she looked at the veiled woman, whose injuries were healing swiftly after she consumed a healing divine pill. Based on the speed of healing, she knew that the veiled woman only suffered minor injuries.
The veiled woman did not seem to be discouraged. After recovering, she instantly launched another wave of attacks. The void shook as she mobilized her bloodline power.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed slightly. The veiled woman had used her bloodline power previously, but this one was clearly different and stronger.
Energy surged from the veiled woman for a moment before her first bloodline power appeared and merged with her second bloodline power, boosting her strength to another level.
‘She was still hiding her strength?’ Duan Ling Tian was rather surprised that the veiled woman had still been hiding her strength when she was dealing with the two imminent Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land. If she had used this bloodline power earlier, those two imminent Supreme Gods would not have been a match for her. In fact, it was likely that the duo would not even be able to withstand ten moves from her even if they joined forces.
‘Her strength is very close to that of an ordinary rudimentary Supreme God. If she comprehended just one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to the rudimentary form, she’d be able to rival the weakest rudimentary Supreme God,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh, ‘With such strength, she might be able to kill all ten apes if she deals with them one by one.’
Following that, Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention back to the ten apes. ‘Something doesn’t feel right… The tenth level shouldn’t be so easy…’
In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, the ten apes were only slightly stronger than the seven people from the Sanction Land they faced in the ninth level.
Meanwhile, the veiled woman did not seem to have the same thoughts as Duan Ling Tian. A hint of excitement flashed in her crystal-clear eyes as she rushed toward the ten apes again with explosive strength. She was confident she would be able to take down the ten apes with her strength that was almost comparable to the rudimentary Supreme God. To be precise, according to her mother, she was very close to being on par with the weakest rudimentary Supreme God.
The veiled woman thought to herself confidently, ‘I thought I’ll need the strength of a rudimentary Supreme God to pass the final level on my own. I didn’t expect it to be easier than I expected. I can pass this level on my own!’
At the same time, Hou Lian Yu, Hou Dong, and Qiu Ping could also sense the veiled woman’s aura that had gotten stronger.
“She was still hiding her strength?”
“It’s a different bloodline power? She possesses double bloodline powers?”
“It’s extremely rare for someone to have two bloodline powers. I’ve only heard of it in the past. I didn’t expect to meet someone like that…”
As long as their innate talents were not too low, natives of the Realms of Gods would inherit their respective family’s bloodline powers. Although it was rare, there were also some people who inherited bloodline powers from both parents. It was even rarer to be able to use two bloodline powers at the same time. Those who were capable of such a rare feat could boost their strength tremendously when they fused both bloodline powers.
The veiled woman clearly belonged to this incredibly rare group of people.
“She’s so strong!” Hou Dong exclaimed.
The veiled woman charged at one of the apes in the realm of an imminent Supreme God and attacked fiercely. She knocked the long staff out of the ape’s hand and severed its hand, nearly killing it.
The other four apes with the strength of an imminent Supreme God rushed over in a timely manner and managed to save their companion.
The injured ape let out a thunderous roar that shook the void.
Suddenly, the bright sky darkened.
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian and the others saw a huge phantom that resembled an ape in the sky. It was rather similar to the Supreme God Phenomenon.
The ten apes glared at the veiled woman before they flew toward the huge phantom in unison.
Although the huge phantom showed no signs of life, the veiled woman felt an ominous feeling rising in her heart. Nonetheless, she still charged forward, trying to stop one of the apes with the strength of an imminent Supreme God.
At the same time, the huge phantom suddenly came to life. It thumped its chest with both hands and growled. The sound was not loud, but ten streaks of golden light suddenly shot out at terrifying speed and enveloped the ten apes.
In the next moment, the ten apes glowed brightly before they turned into streaks of light and shot back into the body of the huge phantom. After a beat, the huge phantom seemed to solidify and shrink at the same time. In the end, it turned into an ape demon that was barely 1.6 meters tall, it was much shorter than the average man. Similar to the apes before, it held a long staff in its hand. However, unlike the staves from before, this staff was 2 meters long and a clear translucent figure could be seen looming above it.
“A prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul!” Hou Dong exclaimed.
Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian and the others could also tell that the long staff in the ape demon’s hand was a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.
The ape demon was small in size, but it was dressed in a set of armor that made it look even more formidable than the ten bigger apes from before.
The ape demon’s red eyes shone with murderous intent as it looked at the veiled woman and said, “Human, how dare you injure my doppelgangers! You must die!”
As the ape demon spoke, its Divine Energy surged out of its body.
The veiled woman trembled as soon as she sensed the opponent’s Divine Energy.
At the same time, Jiang Yu Wei, who was standing nearby, exclaimed in horror, “A demon beast in the realm of a Supreme God!”
Indeed, the small ape demon was in the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God. Its Divine Energy soared into the sky and turned into flames. Obviously, it comprehended the law of fire.
The veiled woman’s eyes brimmed with fear when she discovered that the ape demon’s comprehension of the law of fire could manifest a phenomenon that shone for 100,000 miles. There was no doubt the ape demon’s comprehension of the law surpassed her comprehension of the law. Perhaps, she could stand her ground with the combination of her double bloodline powers, law, and her prominent divine artifact soul, but just the ape demon’s Divine Energy alone took away her advantages. Although she could sense from its Divine Energy that its cultivation base had yet to stabilize, there was no doubt that it was in the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God.
‘I’m no match for it…’
With this thought in mind, the veiled woman flashed and hastily retreated. After that, she looked at Duan Ling Tian and said expressionlessly, “If you’re confident, then you can make your move now. Otherwise, you might as well conserve your energy and join forces with me. I’m willing to share the reward with you.”
In fact, the veiled woman was not being generous. She was only worried that Duan Ling Tian’s blind confidence would cause him to face the ape demon directly. If he was seriously injured, it would be impossible for her to deal with the ape demon alone. In the end, none of them would be able to pass the final level. This was something she, along with everyone else, did not want to see.
‘I don’t think he’ll fight the ape demon if he’s not confident… If he’s capable of killing the ape demon on his own, then I’ll admit defeat and concede the final reward to him,’ the veiled woman thought to herself. Her eyes did not leave Duan Ling Tian at all as she waited anxiously for his response.
Meanwhile, the ape demon growled and charged over furiously like a blazing flame.
The scorching heat caused the expressions of Hou Lian Yu and the others who were not imminent Supreme Gods to change and retreat.
