Chapter 1343: Ape Lord's Submission

After saying this, Xu Yang launched a punch that landed squarely on Ape King Sovereign's left shoulder. He intentionally avoided hitting the head because he didn't want to trigger the guardian instinct of the Beast King's Power source within Ape King Sovereign.

Striking his soul directly would inevitably awaken the Beast Emperor's Power source within him. For this reason, Xu Yang opted for a precise strike, ensuring Ape King Sovereign could be restored from his frozen state without destroying the core of the Beast Emperor's Power within him.

As expected, after unleashing this punch, an incredibly powerful force began to aggressively dismantle the various elemental ape powers surrounding him. Under the crushing might of this force, the freezing power was swiftly eradicated within a short time.

A white vortex halo formed at the center, rapidly radiating across Ape King Sovereign's entire body, restoring his life force, which had begun to freeze, to an unfrozen state.

Ape King Sovereign watched Xu Yang's every move in disbelief. He had never imagined that even his Ice Ape clan's most potent forbidden ancient art could be forcefully shattered by Xu Yang's absolute power.

Having been restored to an unfrozen state, he now had no means left to resist Xu Yang's power.

"You should be very clear that the only reason you're still alive and able to speak with me is due to my benevolence."

Ape King Sovereign knew full well that Xu Yang's words were entirely justified.

He could also profoundly sense the immense power required to break his frozen form.

Even ten of him combined could never hope to resist such power. From the moment his frozen state melted, the outcome of this battle was sealed.

"I have only one request: spare my clansmen."

Xu Yang offered a slight smile. "Making a deal with me isn't impossible, but you'll need to show sufficient sincerity. I'm not one to go back on my word; if your offer is tempting enough, I can grant your request."

Ape King Sovereign, almost without hesitation, extracted the Beast Emperor's Power source from his body. He knew he no longer deserved this power, as he had become a trophy in Xu Yang's eyes. Ape King Sovereign was now an undeniable loser.

Without even glancing at it, Xu Yang directly channeled this ancestral power totem towards Xiao Hua, who was beside him.

After confirming the purity of this power, Xiao Hua immediately absorbed it, signifying that Xu Yang's team had now successfully acquired seven Beast Emperor's Power ancestral sources.

Having achieved his objective, Xu Yang's expression returned to its usual state.

"You've done well. I've seen your sincerity, and I won't trouble you any further. I've achieved my goal, and I'm no longer interested in the fate of your Ice Ape clan. However, I warn you: it's best not to associate with the Beast Emperor clan during this time, or you might find yourselves in serious trouble."

Xu Yang's warning sounded casual, but its deterrent effect on Ape King Sovereign was immense.

Ape King Sovereign was speechless, with no leverage left to negotiate. He could only respectfully state his position.

"Rest assured, Lord Xu Yang, during this period, our Ice Ape clan has abandoned its alignment with the Beast Emperor clan and will naturally no longer associate with them."

Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction and lightly patted the large Ice Ape's shoulder. "I appreciate your attitude. If you had done this sooner, we might have avoided a lot of trouble, and your clansmen wouldn't have had to perish. As for your lost arms, I will restore them for you now."

Ape King Sovereign couldn't believe his ears. But when he regained full awareness, he was stunned to find that his arms, which Xu Yang had personally severed, were instantly restored.

This was because Xu Yang utilized his powerful water-attribute ability granted by his Sea God's Domain, maximizing the regulation of all life factors within Ape King Sovereign's cells, granting him an extremely potent physical regeneration ability in a short amount of time.

"My heavens, your cultivation is truly divine and unfathomable! It's incredible; even the Beast Emperor clan likely doesn't possess such abilities."

Ape King Sovereign was now completely overwhelmed by Xu Yang's power. It wasn't merely a power that could destroy everything; it could also allow destroyed targets to be reborn. These were two entirely different concepts of mastery. From Ape King Sovereign's perspective, Xu Yang's ability to achieve this made him indistinguishable from a true god.

"Alright, I was simply pleased with your attitude, and this was a bonus encounter for you. From today onwards, you will remain the leader of the Ice Ape clan."

Xu Yang had completed his judgment of the Ice Ape clan, and it was finally time for him to lead his team away. They would proceed to the next stop, venturing deeper into the entire Northern Barren Wilderness.

Awaiting Xu Yang's team was the eighth race among the Ten King Sovereigns' guardian leader tribes. After unlocking the corresponding map, Xu Yang and his team saw an exceptionally clear marker: Elephant King Sovereign!

Along with this, a series of descriptions regarding Elephant King Sovereign's attributes also appeared.

"The previous map entries were relatively vague, containing only general data, but the Elephant King Sovereign currently displayed is remarkably clear."

"This is enough to prove that if the author of this map is truly Emperor Yunlong himself, then the force that previously repelled Emperor Yunlong and made him hesitate to venture further into the Northern Barren Wilderness was precisely the Elephant Tribe, led by the current eighth Ten King Sovereign, Elephant King Sovereign."

"Holy cow, is it really that clear? It seems this Giant Elephant tribe is our greatest formidable foe. Boss, what do you think?"

Xu Yang's face remained as calm as ever, but in his view, any race capable of deterring and forcing Emperor Yunlong to retreat was certainly extraordinary.

"Without even seeing them, we can probably guess that the Giant Elephant tribe is a race excellent in both offense and defense. They can utilize their massive bodies to perform actions with destructive power far surpassing the Thousand Oxen Formation of the Berserk Oxen clan."

"Furthermore, in my judgment, the Giant Elephant tribe's combat intelligence should be much higher than any other race we've encountered so far. They are the true guardians of the entire Northern Barren Beast Emperor clan."

"In the upcoming battle, I will need to unleash even greater combat power. You few probably won't be able to rely on yourselves for much. You merely need to stay by my side and observe the fight, absorbing as much useful combat experience from them as possible. This will be greatly beneficial for your future growth."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, the team members beside him all nodded in agreement.
