Chapter 198 Escape

Chapter 198: Escape

Soon after, the two entered another ancient battlefield, even more vast, tens of thousands of miles in circumference, with white bones everywhere, broken walls, and Death Qi permeating the air.

Moreover, in the Blood-colored Plain, such places were numerous and very common; they were usually guarded by powerful beings, subordinate to various Devil Kings.

“Blood Soul Grass!” Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised, having made another discovery; he saw a large patch of it, shimmering with red light and sparkling like tiny, crystal-clear rubies.

Even Yue Chan was astonished; beneath a towering stone mountain, the Blood Soul Grass was densely packed, dazzling and exceptionally vibrant and brilliant.

“Hehe, what luck! There are at least three or four hundred stalks. After extracting all the mystic power, there might even be some left over, which would be another huge fortune,” Lin Fan said, looking like a money grubber.

“Be careful, there might be powerful beings nearby,” Yue Chan warned, telling him not to get too excited.

In fact, even if she hadn't said anything, Lin Fan had already been closely observing and scrutinizing every movement around them.

As expected, things were not that simple. On the stone mountain, there was an Immortal Cave where two ape demons resided. They were exceptionally tall, and their scales even gleamed with silver light.

“Don’t take the risk. Those two beings are very strong, their power is close to the True One Realm, stronger than all the previous ones combined,” Yue Chan advised, divine light radiating from her beautiful eyes.

“No matter. Later, I’ll use the Glazed Pagoda to trap one of them, and we’ll defeat them one by one!” Lin Fan’s eyes gleamed. With such good things before him, how could he easily let them go?

“Ooh…”

At this moment, the two ape demons also discovered the pair and let out roars, instantly leaping out of the stone cave. Their bodies glowed, and their physiques were crystalline.

Just by stretching their bodies, they emitted terrifying Divine Might, rumbling loudly.

“Boom!”

The next moment, Lin Fan summoned the Glazed Pagoda. It descended from the sky, rapidly expanding, and covered one of the ape demons. No matter how hard it tried to smash its way out, it couldn’t escape.

Afterward, he and the other ape demon engaged in a fierce battle, fist against fist, palm against palm. The fighting was exceptionally intense, causing the earth to tremble and constantly crack.

Clearly, these two ape demons were a step stronger than the previous eight, absolutely terrifying. Their black scales were actually transforming into silver.

They posed a significant threat to Lin Fan. Even with his powerful Physical Body, each collision barely harmed them; their scales were harder than most precious artifacts.

Fortunately, he had trapped one of them beforehand, which reduced the pressure; otherwise, it would have been dangerous.

“Boom!”

Lin Fan’s Blood Qi surged, majestic and vast, as he fought the ape demon, unleashing his strongest combat power, like rivers and mountains pouring forth, surging endlessly.

At this moment, he swung his arm; with just one punch, the Void Realm twisted. His pure physical strength was enough to shatter a mountain into dust.

“Ooh…” The ape demon cried out because it had been injured. Scales flew, black blood dripped, and its arm was almost shattered, revealing a look of shock.

Then, heaven and earth shook. This ape demon was enraged. Its red eyes emitted terrifying light, entering a berserk state and becoming incredibly fierce.

It soared into the sky, its body crystalline. A single stomp caused the nearby ground to collapse. Its aura was world-shaking, and its massive palm struck down, generating a mighty gale.

Lin Fan was not afraid. He exerted all his strength, clashing head-on with it, his fists radiating golden light, like a blazing sun, incomparably bright.

“Bang!”

The area exploded, shattering into pieces, with sand and dust flying. Neither side gained an advantage, both retreating over a dozen steps.

Lin Fan was surprised. This ape demon was not simple; it actually possessed such an ability, burning its own vital essence to temporarily boost its strength.

For a time, the battle was too fierce. They fought for over five hundred moves; this was absolutely the longest battle Lin Fan had ever been in since his debut, quite astonishing.

“Pfft!”

Ultimately, the ape demon couldn’t maintain that state indefinitely, and its strength greatly diminished. Lin Fan seized the opportunity and kicked its head apart.

Blood and brains splattered, and this terrifying being was utterly annihilated.

At this moment, Lin Fan put away the Glazed Pagoda and released the other ape demon, engaging in battle once more. With the experience from the first one, he launched a frantic assault.

He didn't give the opponent a chance to breathe, preventing the re-emergence of that strength-boosting ability, and launched continuous attacks directly at its vital points.

“It’s time to end this!” Lin Fan roared, punching through the ape demon’s chest. With a shake of his arm, he tore apart its body, which was as hard as refined iron.

“How formidable. For a Venerable Realm cultivator to kill a Divine Fire Realm Peak being is rare in ancient times; he can be compared to the strongest ancient prodigies,” Yue Chan praised, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Lin Fan gasped for breath, calming his agitated heart, and looked at the hundreds of Blood Soul Grass stalks in the distance, a hint of joy on his face, feeling that victory was within reach.

These were enough for him to gain that ability; afterward, he would only need to find golden bodhi fruit to stabilize and enhance it, allowing it to grow stronger with his own Realm.

“Roar…”

Suddenly, an anomaly occurred. A distant roar pierced the clouds and shattered rocks, and an extremely powerful aura approached, with Killing Intent that filled one with dread.

“Not good, we’ve alarmed the master of this battlefield! The two ape demons were likely its servants, and our slaying them has incurred its displeasure!”

Yue Chan was surprised, knowing a great deal. No wonder these two ape demons were different and possessed a method for temporarily boosting their strength; it was because someone was nurturing them.

At this moment, Lin Fan opened his Heavenly Eye. He saw a skeleton rushing rapidly through the mist, holding a bone saber, and charging towards their location.

“Run, that’s a True God!”

His heart jolted. Runes formed a large hand, grabbing a handful of Blood Soul Grass from beneath the stone mountain. Without caring if he could collect all of it, he fled frantically with Yue Chan.

However, the snow-white skeleton was unwilling to let the two go easily, pursuing them relentlessly, from one place to another, crossing over ten thousand miles.

Moreover, its strength was formidable, its Divine Might was overwhelming, and its entire body was enveloped in white divine flames, intensely hot, without a trace of Death Qi, as if it wanted to ignite heaven and earth.

“The being behind us is not simple; it’s a top-tier True God. If this continues, we’ll eventually be caught,” Yue Chan said, a rare hint of worry appearing on her face.

“Crack!”

In an instant, Lin Fan summoned a great halberd, splitting open the Void Realm, and rushed in with Yue Chan. Then, he used several teleportation talismans to finally shake off the bone god behind them.

Finally, they arrived at the center of the largest ancient battlefield to rest and recover.

Legend has it that this place was once the meditation ground of a peerless expert. His bones, flesh, and runes were imprinted here, causing the rules to become chaotic, and very few beings would approach.

Looking around, one could visibly see that the Void Realm was filled with broken chains of order, multi-colored, enveloping the area, terrifying and astonishing.

Especially the central Forbidden Land, it was even more terrifying. A slight misstep, touching a divine chain formed by the rules, could result in a severed body at best, or outright explosion at worst.

Therefore, one could only observe from afar and operate within some relatively safe areas.

“Ah… my heart aches so much!”

Suddenly, Lin Fan let out a miserable cry, echoing through the Forbidden Land.

“What’s wrong? Are you injured?” Yue Chan’s eyelids twitched as she asked with concern.

“No, it’s because over a hundred stalks of Blood Soul Grass are missing! I hate it so much!” Lin Fan wailed, looking extremely heartbroken.

Upon hearing this, Yue Chan’s jade-like, fair face twitched. She was utterly speechless, realizing she shouldn't have worried about him, asking such a redundant question.

Indeed, this guy was just a money grubber!
