Chapter 1189: The Overlord's Demeanor

It wasn't just one semi-saint level fierce beast that charged in, but a whole group. For some unknown reason, they had left their original territory and were now attacking the Golden Body battlefield, their roars shaking the heavens.

"Monkey, your kin are here!" Chu Feng shouted.

Leading them was a violent ape, covered in long black fur, with a wide mouth and sharp fangs. It possessed immense power. Standing thirty meters tall, it looked like a small mountain.

Its black fur bristled in the wind, making it appear incredibly fierce. Its eyes were completely white, even the pupils, and they shot out two terrifying beams of light.

At that moment, its body surged with vital energy, like crimson flames enveloping its black form, resembling a demon king escaped from hell!

This violent ape was incredibly powerful. Wherever it passed, chaos ensued. Evolutionaries at the Golden Body level who were struck by it suffered broken bones and torn muscles. If caught, they were ripped in half, blood spraying everywhere—it was truly brutal.

"This is a Heavenly Divine Ape!" the Six-Eared Macaque stated indifferently, explaining that such creatures are guaranteed to become Divine Kings once they reach 800 years old, even without cultivation. They are an extremely formidable species.

However, members of this species are very rare; there are fewer than a hundred in the Yang Realm.

While they can become Divine Kings simply by reaching a certain age, advancing to the Heavenly Venerate level is as difficult for them as it is for other species, with no shortcuts.

Chu Feng nodded, acknowledging their strength. Becoming a Divine King without rigorous cultivation, simply by reaching a certain age, certainly made them a terrifyingly powerful species.

However, he wasn't overly concerned, as his immediate goal was to become a Divine King, and his medium-term goal was to surpass the Heavenly Venerate level!

The Heavenly Divine Ape was incredibly powerful, striding forward dozens of meters with each step. This was pure physical might; every stomp was like a mountain crashing down!

On the ground, many people screamed. Numerous Golden Body evolutionaries were trampled into pulp by its massive feet.

Its entire body glowed, and its vital energy blazed like a raging inferno, impossible to resist.

"Damn it, it crossed the line! It broke into our battlefield, who can stop it?" someone shrieked. In just a short moment, heavy losses had been incurred.

The Heavenly Divine Ape tore dozens of powerful individuals to shreds. Even Golden Body level fierce birds in mid-air were caught and ripped in half, their blood splattering. Its punches caused many creatures to explode, covering the ground in gore.

It was simply a great demon!

Behind it followed a hedgehog, entirely white and over two meters long. Though not enormous, its destructive power was astonishing.

Its long, white quills shot out like arrows, each strike proving fatal, killing dozens of nearby Golden Body creatures.

A white quill flew past Chu Feng's shoulder. It was so powerful that the violent wind it generated stung Chu Feng's face.

With a soft thud, not far behind him, a Golden Body turtle clan cultivator, despite its incredibly hard shell, was pierced through, pinned to the ground, and then exploded.

Further away, a golden mammoth was also struck by a white light. This relatively short hedgehog quill caused the fifteen-meter-tall golden mammoth to explode. Its body disintegrated, leaving a gory and terrifying scene.

The battlefield instantly descended into chaos. Golden Body powerhouses fled in disarray, for these two creatures were too terrifying. Wherever they passed, severed limbs and scattered remains littered the blood-soaked ground.

There were almost no survivors in their wake. In a short period, over a hundred Golden Body creatures had died gruesome deaths.

The havoc wreaked by these two creatures was even worse than what Chu Feng had caused. Moreover, the terror they inspired was more profound, as they were semi-saint level fierce beasts. Once they entered this battlefield, many evolutionaries were psychologically overwhelmed, collapsing without a fight.

Furthermore, these two creatures seemed to be insane, attacking evolutionaries from both sides indiscriminately, without distinguishing between friend and foe.

"They're mentally unstable. They probably suffered heavy losses in another battle, damaging their soul light and leading to mental derangement," Peng Wanli said.

Xiao Yao nodded, agreeing with this assessment.

Behind the two fierce beasts were pursuers: a general in gleaming chainmail, radiating blinding golden light, who was chasing them.

In addition, a shimmering purple divine crane, an evolutionary from the Crane clan who had transformed into a purple-haired man, also spread its wings and joined the pursuit.

These two individuals were powerful, but they found it difficult to subdue the Heavenly Divine Ape and the white hedgehog quickly.

This was because more semi-saint level creatures were charging in from behind them, attacking the two pursuers and igniting a fierce melee.

"They're charging in; we have no choice but to act. This is a good chance to test our cultivation against semi-saints!" Chu Feng declared.

He had already dodged more than one white quill, all fired from the hedgehog. The white quills seemed inexhaustible, constantly shooting out.

In the nearby area, many people screamed, and large numbers fell with each volley.

"Die, ape! Hedgehog! You're courting death, daring to harm my followers!" Chu Feng roared, charging forward.

Near him were the evolutionaries who had followed him and charged into battle alongside him. Now, he had no choice but to intervene, so he rushed forward, wielding his large club.

Boom!

Chu Feng stomped the ground, causing it to crack with every leap forward. The power in his feet was immense; each step carried him over three hundred meters.

At that moment, his body glowed. He used his Lightning Fist to conceal his vital energy, as his Human King's blood had been activated, causing golden and blue light to intertwine within it.

Now, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled around him from head to toe, with various colored electric arcs resonating, completely obscuring his overflowing vital energy.

Chu Feng went all out to confront the semi-saint!

If this were the Lower Realm, he would have fled long ago, because once the word "Saint" was involved, there would be an insurmountable chasm between their power and that of a Golden Body, a massive disparity.

But in the Yang Realm, it was different. With its complete rules and the suppression of the Great Dao, even Saints, let alone semi-saints, struggled to fly off the ground.

In the Yang Realm, only the ability to fly marked a truly insurmountable watershed, where the power disparity became despair-inducing.

"So what if you're a semi-saint?!" Chu Feng arrived.

Swinging his wolf-tooth club, he charged directly at the Heavenly Divine Ape. Leaping dozens of meters high, he then dove down, his body radiating brilliant light as if engulfed in divine flames. With both hands, he brought the club crashing down towards the ape's head.

The very air trembled and roared.

Surprisingly, the violent ape held a short spear, radiating dark light and surging with energy. It roared, its cavernous mouth wide open, revealing gleaming white fangs that looked exceptionally ferocious, as it countered Chu Feng with its spear.

At that instant, the metallic clash echoed across the battlefield, causing many to scream, cover their ears, and fall backward. The clash between these two was too fierce.

Moreover, the impact was overwhelmingly powerful and deafening. Energy ripples also spread outwards, sending many individuals flying.

Nearby, many screamed in agony. Those lightly injured suffered broken bones and torn muscles, while the severely wounded had bodies covered in cracks, bleeding profusely, and many appeared unlikely to survive.

"He's truly formidable! Cao De directly confronted a semi-saint, that's incredibly terrifying. It was pure luck that I survived his earlier rampage. Good thing I ran fast and didn't get too close to him."

At this moment, many creatures from the opposing faction in the distance turned pale. Some uttered these words, secretly relieved and feeling as if they had narrowly escaped death.

Everyone was stunned. No one had imagined that Cao De would be so ferocious, charging straight at the Heavenly Divine Ape with his large club, without a word or even attempting a sneak attack, showing such overwhelming force.

People from both factions were dumbfounded.

In the battlefield, Chu Feng was sent flying backward. In mid-air, he held his wolf-tooth club with one hand, while forcefully shaking the other. The web of skin between his thumb and forefinger had split open, bleeding profusely, and his arm throbbed with pain.

"Is a semi-saint really this hard to fight?" he called out, landing on the ground.

Upon hearing his words, some people were speechless. What defines a freak? This was a prime example. Did he actually think a semi-saint would be easy to defeat?

What a joke! In the Yang Realm, how many Golden Body evolutionaries could fight a semi-saint?

Although constrained by the Great Dao, the difference in rank was not as extreme as in the Lower Realm, but Golden Body level creatures were still no match for a semi-saint.

In the Yang Realm, merely touching upon the word "Saint" signified transcendence!

Anyone capable of fighting a semi-saint to the death was undoubtedly an apex powerhouse in the Golden Body realm, someone who could become renowned among their generation and be considered a prominent figure at the Golden Body level.

Furthermore, people noticed that the violent ape had also stumbled back a few steps, switched hands holding its short spear, and was shaking its hand too.

Peng Wanli sighed, "What a freak. This guy's physical body is incredibly strong. You have to remember, he's not just fighting any semi-saint; he's fighting a thirty-meter-tall Heavenly Divine Ape, creatures known for their boundless strength."

The monkey's mouth twitched, as he had the most authority to speak on this, having experienced it firsthand. He had suffered a great loss back then, getting beaten black and blue in close combat.

"Mitien, your physique is special, and you excel at close-quarters combat. How do you feel about this?" Xiao Yao asked.

The Six-Eared Macaque's face twitched, and his expression eventually turned somewhat blank as he truthfully replied, "His physique is now even tougher than mine. Unless I go to the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace terrain to forge an ultimate body, it will be difficult to surpass him in the short term."

Peng Wanli said, "That's good too. I have great hopes for this plan, and with Cao De, we will most likely make it onto that list!"

Chu Feng and the Heavenly Divine Ape clashed in battle. For a time, it sounded like blacksmithing in the celestial realm, or the forging of mighty souls on the path of reincarnation—a penetrating and deafening sound.

He fiercely contended with the Heavenly Divine Ape, their vital energies surging, truly fighting with desperate fervor.

If he were dealing with people from the Taiwu lineage, Chu Feng would likely choose to ambush and hunt them in secret. But he was on this battlefield to hone and temper himself, so he chose to confront them directly with raw power.

Many onlookers were petrified. This guy was just too outlandish!

Even those from the opposing faction were dumbfounded and alarmed by the wild man's ferocity.

From the Western Hezhou side, the two Buddhist Sons appeared solemn and dignified. One wore a golden kasaya, and the other a black one, like two Buddhas walking among mortals.

Additionally, the White Tiger clan's maiden also arrived, a strange look on her face. Discovering such a formidable individual, she was eager to try her hand at hunting him.

The Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox, with her captivating beauty that could bewitch all beings, was enchanting and alluring. Her bright eyes flickered as she silently observed the battlefield.

Moreover, members of the Immortal Sub-race had also arrived. They supported the overlord of Western Hezhou, and one of their own, a silver-haired maiden whose power far surpassed the Golden Body level, was quietly observing the battle from a distance, choosing not to enter the fray.

"Sister, is that him? It looks difficult to take him down," Lu Dingtian said, watching from afar with a deep frown.

Princess Lu was also surprised. That wild man was so dominant, fighting the Heavenly Divine Ape to the death. Subduing him would be extraordinarily difficult.

"Big ape, you're so powerful, even crazier than your brothers!" Chu Feng shouted.

As he spoke, he glanced at the Six-Eared Macaque not far away, causing Mitian's face to turn green. Mitian desperately wanted to say, "We're not even the same species, please don't randomly assign me relatives!"

"Clang!"

The wolf-tooth club clashed with the short spear, each impact shaking heaven and earth. Waves of energy light spread in all directions, causing many to flee and take cover.

This was a lesson learned through blood; those nearby who hadn't fled earlier were now lying on the ground, covered in cracks, and some had been literally shaken to death.

"I refuse to believe I can't hit you!"

Chu Feng roared, his hair flying wildly. He leapt into the air towards the violent ape, his great club emitting blinding light as if a sun were descending.

This time, they exchanged hundreds of blows. Blood continuously flowed from the web of skin between Chu Feng's thumb and forefinger, but it was instantly vaporized by the lightning on his body's surface, preventing anyone from discovering he was using his Human King's golden blood.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heavenly Divine Ape was retreating. Under such terrifying force, even it, powerful as it was, stumbled backward repeatedly. When it stepped into a rut, it nearly fell to the ground.

"This is the stance of a hegemon!" someone exclaimed. A Golden Body cultivator forcing a semi-saint level violent ape to retreat was truly shocking.

"Grandfather, why isn't my brother acting yet? Cao De must not be allowed to live; he's too strong!" In the rear of Chu Feng's faction on the battlefield, a young man secretly transmitted his voice.

This was Hong Yu, who wished to replace Chu Feng and form an alliance with the monkey, Peng Wanli, and others to get onto the crucial list that determined an evolutionary's lifetime achievements.

Hong Yunhai's expression was cold as he said, "No hurry, it's better to be natural. This Cao De is truly extraordinary, unbelievably powerful. For some reason, I have a faint feeling of dread. Could something have happened to your brother?"
