Chapter 931 - 414: Ape God! (Part 2)
"This monkey is quite the influential figure in the Origin Realm!"
"An influential figure?"
Xu Ran was surprised when he heard the bald-headed man’s voice.
The monkey in front of him, aside from its peculiar appearance, didn’t have anything else that seemed indicative of being an influential figure.
Moreover, what could such a monkey possibly accomplish?
Xu Ran was perplexed.
After all, he was unfamiliar with the matters of the Origin Realm. He knew next to nothing, let alone about figures of importance like this.
"Hehe!"
Upon hearing Xu Ran’s confusion, the bald-headed man didn’t immediately explain to him.
Seeing that the bald-headed man wasn’t intending to reveal the truth, Xu Ran wanted to continue asking.
Before him.
The ground suddenly began to vibrate, and in front of Xu Ran’s body, a round hole appeared, completely pitch black.
As Xu Ran was still unclear about what was happening,
"Whoosh!!"
A crisp sound rose from that hole.
Upon hearing this sound, the monkey that was waving its wooden stick halted its movements and stared fiercely at Xu Ran’s direction.
The sharp gaze instantly locked onto Xu Ran.
Immediately.
Xu Ran felt a stinging sensation appear in his eyes.
But soon he adapted to it and focused his gaze on the round hole.
The sound that just occurred came from that round hole, something was bound to emerge from it.
Sure enough.
The next moment.
A wooden stick emerged from the round hole.
Seeing this, Xu Ran reached out and grasped it securely.
The monkey, seeing this, completely stopped its movements and glared at Xu Ran, its eyes filled with murderous intent, as if regarding Xu Ran as prey.
The monkey’s murderous intent pierced straight through Xu Ran, and even the three disciples seated at the watching stands felt a shiver of chill.
"This monkey’s murderous intent is intense!"
The youngest sister watched the monkey with trembling eyes, but then quickly looked elsewhere.
Mainly because the monkey’s murderous intent was too strong.
Though the youngest sister was extraordinarily gifted and her cultivation progressed swiftly.
She had grown up adored by many, without ever encountering setbacks or facing a monkey with such intense murderous intent.
For a moment, having never experienced it, her body trembled somewhat.
But in the next moment.
The body that had begun trembling slowly regained calm.
On the youngest sister’s body, black flames burned, though they did her no harm, only provided immense warmth.
It was the power of the Black Flame from the second senior brother.
"It’s okay!" The second senior brother reassured the youngest sister and then looked at the eldest brother.
"Eldest brother, is this monkey the one recorded in ancient texts?"
The second senior brother spoke with a serious expression, staring at the monkey overflowing with murderous intent on the dueling arena.
The eldest brother nodded.
"Precisely!"
Now, with the help of the Black Flame power, the youngest sister returned to normal and curiously asked.
"Ancient texts? Which ancient text?"
The youngest sister felt immensely curious.
After all, her knowledge about matters in ancient texts was very limited.
Hence, she didn’t know who the monkey was.
The eldest brother paused for a moment before explaining.
"At the birth of heaven and earth, countless great powers explored the path of cultivation, throughout millennia, the Origin Realm finally saw its first Great Power!
This Great Power created an unprecedented cultivation system and willingly organized the cultivation method he perfected to those he deemed talented.
Furthermore, he established an organization named ’Celestial Court’ in the Origin Realm."
As the eldest brother’s narrative unfolded, a scene the youngest sister had never witnessed began to unfurl before her eyes.
"With the first Great Power’s cultivation method, the emergence of great powers in the entire Origin Realm erupted like mushrooms after rain, wildly sprouting.
And those who became great powers were all from the Celestial Court, and for a time, the Celestial Court became the largest organization in the Origin Realm!"
As he spoke, the eldest brother turned his gaze toward the monkey in the dueling arena.
Instantly both their gazes met, sending a chilling coldness from the eldest brother.
Simultaneously, a tangible Evil Qi arose from the monkey as well.
The next moment, the two auras collided violently and then disappeared.
Yet it caused no harm to the elder brother.
After nothing happened, the eldest brother continued to speak.
"As the Celestial Court gradually expanded, there were also heaven’s favored ones between heaven and earth, who came into being just from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi without anyone’s creation, the Spiritual Objects.
This monkey, is among them!"
"This monkey, under the guidance of those from the Celestial Court, its cultivation advanced rapidly, becoming a Great Power within just ten years, becoming an existence dominating a region!
The existence of the Celestial Court at that time was known to all, the monkey with Great Power cultivation naturally wanted to join it.
Unfortunately, its innately strong wild nature resisted following the rules as a mere official!
Shortly after joining the Celestial Court, due to various matters, it was dismissed.
In a fit of anger, it rebelled against the Celestial Court."
As the eldest brother recounted this, the monkey already emanating murderous intent suddenly turned red, as if all its killing power pooled into its body, turning it crimson.
Clearly, it disagreed with the eldest brother’s words.
Even so, the eldest brother continued his recount uninterrupted, unaffected.
"The outcome was predictable, even if it summoned five Great Powers, the Celestial Court had tens of Great Powers, ultimately it was defeated!"
"The light gold rune on its forehead was left behind from that time; it’s used to restrain its existence!"
The monkey in the dueling arena listened as the eldest brother revealed its deeds entirely.
Instantly, red Evil Qi erupted from its body, pouring toward the only human in the arena, Xu Ran, without restraint.
The next moment.
It suddenly kicked its legs, and its entire body shot forward like a golden lightning bolt at an astonishing speed towards Xu Ran.
With the wooden stick raised high in its hands, it carried the force akin to a thousand-pound boulder, with whistling wind, fiercely striking down on Xu Ran.
Seeing this, Xu Ran was startled, instinctively raising the wooden stick in his hands to block in a panic.
"Bang!"
A thunderous crash deafened the ears as if a great bell rang nearby, the massive impact instantly numbing Xu Ran’s arms, splitting the skin at the tiger mouth, his whole body recoiling like a kite with a broken string, retreating several steps, nearly losing his balance.
With just one strike, Xu Ran was already wounded.
He couldn’t comprehend.
Clearly, it was the soul body outside speaking, why was he the one attacked?
Xu Ran’s face was full of helplessness.
At this moment, the bald-headed man appeared above, with a mischievous gaze on Xu Ran.
"Your sole objective is to defeat this monkey in front of you, and you will pass the trial!"
Xu Ran glanced at the mischievous expression on the bald-headed man, equally helpless.
The inconvenience caused by his spear technique earlier seemed to have rebounded all onto Xu Ran at this moment, even if it wasn’t his doing, the bald-headed man was equally delighted seeing Xu Ran in trouble.
Xu Ran had indeed heard the eldest brother’s words, and understood that the monkey in front of him wasn’t simple.
Although he didn’t know what kind of existence the Great Power spoken of by the eldest brother was like.
But to be able to challenge the organization ruling the Origin Realm, the required cultivation was undoubtedly not low, at least among the pinnacle existences of the Origin Realm.
Not to mention anything else, just that stick earlier sent his body flying.
"Boom--"
The next moment.
Xu Ran, who was sent flying, crashed heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
At this moment.
Xu Ran’s whole body was embedded into the ground, revealing just how much force the monkey used in that stick!
But fortunately.
Xu Ran’s physical strength was strong enough, his recovery ability was also exceptional, as soon as wounds appeared on his body, they healed immediately.
