Chapter 464: Reunion with the Golden-Furred War Ape

The chase, unsettling to all living beings, had turned this land into ruins, filled with terrifying abysses and fissures, and countless creatures had been reduced to blood.

Behind him, the two old men pressed the attack relentlessly, their avatars in the void numbering dozens. Yang Tian could barely hold his ground, but his wounds were increasing.

In a verdant mountain range ahead, one cave emitted a monstrous aura. Two blood-red vertical eyes stared fixedly at the terrifying figures ahead, their mind trembling.

“Roar…” When it noticed the fleeing shadows, the creature inside let out a low whimper. It recognized the approaching figure—the one who had given it precious medicine, now fleeing for his life.

“I can’t help you; those two old monsters are too fierce.” The Stupid Tiger shrank its head, muttered, and curled up deep in the cave, not daring to show itself.

In the void, Yang Tian’s face was pale as snow. He suddenly halted, all his avatars merging back into his body, and his cold, sharp eyes swept ahead.

“Haha, not running anymore?” Seeing this, the two old men showed a flicker of doubt, but it vanished in an instant as they laughed heartily at the figure before them.

Hearing this, just as Yang Tian was about to reply, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, the two old men’s expressions also changed drastically. Their terrified eyes fell upon the void ahead, where a presence like an妖神 (demon god) was seeping out.

“What is this?” The Stupid Tiger instantly poked out its head, its fearful blood-red eyes scanning the void ahead. It sensed a deity gazing down at it.

“Roar!” From the thousands of hills and valleys, a chorus of beastly roars erupted, shaking heaven and earth. All creatures roared in unison, as if welcoming a sovereign, kowtowing one after another.

“Could we have alarmed a figure from the demon race?” The old men’s hearts trembled, their bodies shaking. Having slaughtered so many creatures, they might have attracted a fearsome being.

Rumble! At the moment of everyone’s terror, a dazzling golden light descended from the heavens—a massive iron staff, blindingly bright.

“That staff looks familiar?” Seeing this, Yang Tian’s eyes showed confusion. The artifact seemed very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

“Hmm, you two little brats have quite the nerve, daring to slaughter the creatures of the demon race.” A terrifying voice resounded, slowly vibrating through heaven and earth.

“Roar…” The mountains shook, emitting joyful sounds as if they were pleading for this great demon to slay the two old men.

“Run!” Without a moment’s hesitation, the two old men fled like rabbits, sprinting away. This creature was too terrifying; they were no match.

“Hmm, trying to run before me?” The being in the void stirred. The golden staff standing between heaven and earth moved, its ten-thousand-zhang shadow surging overwhelmingly.

Bang! With no power to resist, one old man’s head was smashed, his body shattered.

“Ah—” The other old man was terrified nearly to death, every hair on his body standing on end, a chill running from his scalp to his soles. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, his head was instantly crushed.

“Gulp…” Yang Tian couldn’t help swallowing, his whole body turning cold. This creature was too powerful, likely an unparalleled demon emperor, perhaps even at the threshold of a demon lord.

“Brother Yang Tian, what should we do?” Yun’er’s head burrowed into Yang Tian’s chest. Though a bit afraid, she felt utterly at peace.

“It’s okay.” Yang Tian held Yun’er’s delicate body tighter and spoke softly. His eyes swept across the void; the aura was very familiar.

Just as Yang Tian tensed up, a terrifying gaze that made one’s heart tremble fell upon him, followed by a soft exclamation from the void.

In that mysterious void, a golden humanoid creature suddenly appeared. When Yang Tian saw its form clearly, he was momentarily stunned.

“Golden-Furred War Ape!” In the cave, the Stupid Tiger roared inwardly, its body trembling. It burst out, staring at the Golden-Furred War Ape in the void, letting out low whimpers.

Glancing at the slowly descending Golden-Furred War Ape, Yun’er clenched her jade hands. She recognized this creature.

In ancient times, it could summon wind and rain, move mountains and seas, possess boundless strength, and easily shake ancient peaks—a being comparable to divine beasts.

“How is it you?” The Golden-Furred War Ape was very surprised, its eyes sweeping over Yang Tian’s face, asking in astonishment.

“Senior, it is indeed I.” Yang Tian’s heart pounded. He hadn’t expected his Heaven-Reversing Earth-Changing Art to be seen through by a single glance from the Golden-Furred War Ape. He instantly reverted to his original form and spoke respectfully.

At the same time, he wondered inwardly. Last time, the Golden-Furred War Ape had been summoned by the Ten-Thousand-Demon Order. Logically, it shouldn’t be here. Could the changes in Chaos City be related to the Ten-Thousand-Demon Order?

Yun’er’s pretty face instantly froze. Her big eyes swept over the Golden-Furred War Ape, puzzled as to how Yang Tian could have dealings with such a terrifying creature.

“My mother, so this guy has such a big background.” The Stupid Tiger trembled inwardly, muttering to itself.

“No need for formalities.” The Golden-Furred War Ape scratched its ears and cheeks, hopping up and down, a hint of embarrassment on its face as it recalled swearing brotherhood with Yang Tian.

At this moment, Yang Tian noticed the Golden-Furred War Ape’s embarrassment, and his mind immediately relaxed. As long as this creature wasn’t interested in his divine objects, it was fine.

He scratched his head and said with a smile, “Senior, why are you here?”

“Oh…” Hearing this, the Golden-Furred War Ape rubbed its nose, its golden eyes rolling: “The Dao God Mountain is about to open, don’t you know?”

“Dao God Mountain?” Yang Tian frowned, pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He remembered Senior Shan He’s instruction to visit Dao God Mountain in the future.

Yun’er also blinked her bright big eyes. She had once heard Yuan Xia speak of the terrors of Dao God Mountain.

“Eh?” At this moment, layers of golden light appeared in the Golden-Furred War Ape’s eyes. It looked at Yang Tian’s body, full of uncertainty. It sensed that the energy within Yang Tian’s flesh seemed somewhat strong.

“Have you broken through to War Emperor? No, not yet!” The Golden-Furred War Ape couldn’t help saying. It had fought with Yang Tian before and knew his cultivation well. Back then, he was only at the Rebirth stage. If he were truly a War Emperor, that would be too terrifying.

“Senior, I haven’t broken through yet.” Scratching his head, Yang Tian chuckled.

“Impressive… impressive…” The Golden-Furred War Ape scratched the back of its hand, deeply shocked. It couldn’t see through Yang Tian’s cultivation; all it saw was a chaotic blur.

At this moment, the Golden-Furred War Ape’s eyes fell on Yun’er’s body. Its expression instantly changed, and its eyelids couldn’t help twitching.

“He sees it!” Seeing that gaze, Yang Tian’s mind tightened, and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.
