Chapter 1202 - Goldenmane Skyapes

They weren't just average apes; they had the heads of mighty lions above their agile, humanoid bodies. The heads had thick manes of gold as well as gigantic mouths. Their roars were no different from that of real lions. Apart from that, their golden fangs were their most powerful weapons.

Zhan Yuance wielded his grade-seven divine artifact and fought alongside his beasts, his eight ears on prominent display. That was the reason nobody could match up to him; he was far too overwhelming!

At that moment, all the wargodean beasts, led by the five skyapes, pressed down on the nine-headed dragon. The dragon's heads were covered in blades, and even the slightest movement could cause damage, yet the beasts were using their own bodies to press it down, injuries and death be damned. Such was the ferocity of the wargodeans. Many were willing to sacrifice their lifebound beasts for the Nine-five Prince. If it werent for the chaos around them, they would never have had to resort to such a risky method. As the black dragon roared, the beasts came down on it, followed by the wargodeans as they locked the dragon's joints with their divine artifacts, pinning it firmly to the ground.

"Remove everyone from the dragon's body!" Zhan Yuance ordered as he swung his golden staff toward the heart of the dragon. The others on the dragon were caught up in its struggles, as well as the attacks of the wargodeans. Some of them were struck by lifebound beast abilities or the blades on the dragon. Soon, imperial star formations were shattering one after another. The formations could only protect them to a certain extent, so being hit by a barrage of attacks like that could potentially be fatal.

"Prince, they've mostly been cleared out!"

When Zhan Yuance heard that, he ordered them all to apply pressure together. Though many disciples were still causing trouble, nobody was able to stop Zhan Yuance and his beasts from dealing the fatal blow. The golden staff smashed straight into the heart of the black dragon, followed by the five goldenmane skyapes' bites and scratches, forcefully damaging the golem formation. Even so, the formation held up.

"One more time!" Zhan Yuance furrowed his brow and pressed on. This might be the last chance he got! There were still thousands of other disciples swarming toward them. "I'll remember every single one of you! Even if I can't tell you apart, I'll be able to recognize your voices with my hearing! Even if you leave the Voidsky Realm, I'll make sure the wargodeans make your sects pay the price for what you've done!"

His threats shook quite a few of them, though none of them could have imagined that the black dragon would suddenly roar as the light faded from its body before the second barrage of strikes had even connected. Its gigantic body crumbled, causing the thousands of blades to fall to the ground. The formation had been breached!

Zhan Yuance was puzzled, thinking that perhaps his first wave of strikes had worked and the effect was only delayed. But right after that, he saw something that utterly enraged him. A white-haired youth took a black pill and put it into his spatial ring. It wasn't just him, all the other participants and wargodeans were shocked.

"Its Li Tianming from the Azuresoul Palace!" they all cried. They fumed and raged, having paid a huge price for the sake of that pill, only for Tianming to pop out of nowhere. Even so, they werent the ones who truly destroyed the formation.

As a result of stopping himself from being seen, Tianming noticed that he had suffered quite a few injuries. But fortunately, the black dragon was large enough, allowing him to sneakily undo the formation by disrupting its patterns and take the grandpath fiend pill. This wasnt a time to stay and fool around.

"Let's go." Tianming's Lifesteal Silverdragon flashed and hooked onto the ceiling. Then, it rapidly shrank, pulling him upward before others could react and allowing him to escape the rapidly-forming encirclement. Meow Meow emerged from the lifebound space in its Regal Chaosfiend form; as it had been accelerating in the lifebound space for a while by running in circles, it was already at peak velocity. With a flash of black lightning, it took Tianming with it and disappeared.

"Chase them down! Kill them!" Zhan Yuance was furious. He charged toward Tianming like a madman along with the other wargodeans. There were also countless participants in front of Tianming, who immediately reacted and tried stopping him. Tianming had both Lifesteal Silverdragon and the grandpath fiend pill, but he was only around a second-level constellier in power. He was basically a moving treasure chest.

"Stop him!"

Cries rang out one after another from the desperate participants, though it wasnt out of rage. People were just glad that a chance like this had come to them. In fact, they would probably be happier if the pill ended up with Tianming rather than Zhan Yuance, since at least they would have a chance of stopping him.

The wargodeans' rage simmered to a peak. The reward for their hard-fought efforts had been stolen just like that. Zhan Yuance charged toward Tianming like a rising meteor. Though his five apes were huge, they were really agile thanks to their powerful bodies and astralforce. They easily kept up with their master's speed and widened their distance from the other wargodeans.

Any man or beast that stood in their way would be harshly flung aside, and chaos broke out again. As far as the rest were concerned, Tianming would be a far easier target than the wargodeans.
