Chapter 942 - Quietly Bidding For One’s Time

Lin Yun wore a hood as he sped through the Ash Mountain Range’s forest. Along the way, he saw geniuses from the higher realms clearing up the demonic beasts.

After they were done hunting the surrounding demonic beasts, spiritualists would place spiritual runes on the ground. When they were done, the spiritual runes started to link together before they fused with the air.

“A spiritual array?” Lin Yun was surprised as he looked from the top of a tree. The spiritualists who set up and controlled the array were at least fourth grade. Spiritual arrays were different from diagrams. Spiritual diagrams were a lot simpler because one person could create and use a high graded spiritual diagram. However, arrays were a lot more complicated.

Furthermore, Lin Yun could tell that the grade of the spiritual array wasn’t low. Clearly, Lin Yun had recruited a lot of people from the higher realms. Lin Yun was facing an uphill battle if he wanted to get the Gold-furred Demonic Ape’s beast core.

Lin Yun quietly followed behind the spiritualists and bypassed many segments. He was shocked as he did this because he could tell that the attainment of the spiritualists was rather high. Lin Yun could tell that the array was rather ingenious since it relied on the strength of the mountain range.

If the array successfully caught the Gold-furred Demonic Ape by surprise, Mo Yan probably wouldn’t need to worry at all.

Lin Yun continued to follow the group for an hour and eventually ended up in a spacious valley. He had arrived at Ash Valley, the territory of the Gold-furred Demonic Ape. The entire ground was scorched and filled with fire spiritual energy in the atmosphere. At the border of the valley, there were almost 300 geniuses from the higher realms who were at least in the second soul Heavenly Soul Realm.

The scale of this formation left Lin Yun shocked. Holding Lil’ Red tightly, Lin Yun gently leapt off the tree he was standing on and quietly approached the crowd. When he got close, he saw three people leading the party. Although there were many geniuses present, only three people were qualified to lead.

The one in the center wore black clothes with a fire emblem on his back. Naturally, he was the Blazeyang Realm’s leader, Mo Yan. The one on his left wore simple gray clothes as spiritual runes vaguely circled around him. Lin Yun could instantly tell that he was a fourth-grade spiritualist.

This made Lin Yun frown. According to the information from Xian Yunzhen and Chen Qiong, that was Mu Ziyi, the leader of the Profound Spiritual Realm. Fourth-grade spiritualists were comparable to Heavenly Soul Realm experts and the more fourth-grade spiritual runes they grasped, the stronger they would be. Since Mu Ziyi could control the spiritual array, he knew at least ten fourth grade spiritual runes.

The one on Mo Yan’s right had a robust figure with a terrifying height of over two meters. He was so large that he looked like a small mountain. Lin Yun couldn’t sense much origin energy fluctuation coming from the robust person. He seemed like the type of person who purely cultivated his physique. Most likely, it was Wu Mu, the leader of the Demonic Constellation Realm.

“Young Master Mu, can we proceed?” Mo Yan smiled while looking at Mu Ziyi.

Mu Ziyi nodded his head before he gently tapped his interspatial pouch. Retrieving a full set of armor, he handed the armor to Wu Mu. He was truly worthy of being a spiritualist. After all, defensive dao artifacts were rarer than offensive dao artifacts. They weren’t artifacts that could be taken out easily.

Additionally, Mu Ziyi took out a few transcendent cosmic artifacts and gave them to Wu Mu. When he was done, Wu Mu looked like a cyborg. The dao artifact and cosmic artifacts seemed to be connected to spiritual runes that formed a small spiritual array on his body.

“These people are really prepared!” Lin Yun figured out what was going on. They wanted Wu Mu to rely on the dao artifact and cosmic artifacts to hold the Gold-furred Demonic Ape back. Not only would it decrease their losses, but they could use the spiritual array enveloping this mountain to suppress the demonic ape. Then, Mo Yan could kill it.

They would probably kill the Gold-furred Demonic Ape without running into any accidents. Lin Yun was astonished by the foundation of the higher realms. Luckily, he could rely on them to face the Gold-furred Dominic Ape first. Monarch demonic beasts were terrifying, so it was better for Lin Yun to rely on others. Plus, the Gold-furred Demonic Ape was corroded by the Heavenly Path’s demonic aura.

“Let’s start!” Mo Yan sneered coldly as everyone behind him started to split up.

Meanwhile, Wu Mu soared into the sky and revealed his aura. The dao artifact and cosmic artifacts on his body turned crimson as a ferocious aura started pouring out. Mu Ziyi was surprised before he smiled, “The Demonic Constellation Realm’s bloodline is really terrifying. Wu Mu’s aura is no different from a wild beast. No wonder his physique is so strong.”

“Alright. The show is starting now. Young Master Mu, you’re next,” said Mo Yan.

“Haha, don’t worry about it. My Constellation Dragon Locking Array can make perfect use of the mountain range. I won’t have any problems facing the Gold-furred Demonic Ape,” said Mu Ziyi confidently.

Just when Mo Yan was about to speak, the ground started trembling violently as a blazing aura approached from afar.

“The Gold-furred Demonic Ape!” Lin Yun sucked in a cold breath and was deeply shocked. The Gold-furred Demonic Ape shined brightly as its massive body was covered in gold fur. It had a pair of sharp fangs with flames blazing in the depth of its pupils.

When the dazzling flames shot out of its pupils, Wu Mu’s movements became stiff. Instantly, a powerful aura enveloped the entire space. Even if the aura coming from Wu Mu was terrifying, he was still immobilized.

This is the pressure of a monarch demonic beast? From afar, the ape was too strong for the geniuses.

Aside from Mo Yan, who had a high attainment in the flame intent, Wu Mu and Mu Ziyi couldn’t move when facing the ape. Suddenly the massive golden figure grabbed onto Wu Mu, trying to tear him in two.

Suddenly, Wu Mu’s dao artifact and cosmic artifacts started to shine brightly while the spiritual array started to buzz. No matter how the Gold-furred Demonic Ape tried, it wasn’t able to tear Wu Mu in half.

The Gold-furred Demonic Ape unleashed a roar and bared its fangs. Seeing that it couldn’t tear Wu Mu apart, the Gold-furred Demonic Ape threw Wu Mu towards a mountain. After Wu Mu hit the mountain, the entire mountain crumbled.

Wu Mu couldn’t resist the Gold-furred Demonic Ape and was getting completely crushed.

“Mu Ziyi, quick!” Wu Mu yelled after he was thrown against the mountain. Lin Yun was shocked because Wu Mu’s physique was a little too strong. If an ordinary genius were thrown in this manner, they would’ve already been turned into a pile of meat.

“Constellation Dragon Locking Array!” Mu Ziyi finally made his move as he hovered in mid-air with spiritual runes appearing around him. In a split second, he formed seals that tore the clouds apart for starlight to shine through.

Boundless astral energy began to circulate as the massive spiritual array on the ground was activated and formed a massive painting. Lin Yun narrowed his eyes as a poisonous fog enveloped the Ash Mountain Range.

Accompanied by a loud sound, the poisonous fog condensed into a demonic bird, casting a shadow over half the valley when it spread its wings apart. This forced the Gold-furred Demonic Ape’s monarch aura to start to diminish under the demonic bird’s terrifying aura.

Wu Mu took this opportunity to land on the Gold-furred Demonic Ape without facing the restriction of the monarch aura.

“Move out!” Mo Yan turned into a flame and charged forward with boundless origin energy, manifesting into a flaming beast. Then, Mo Yan’s palm descended on the Gold-furred Demonic Ape.

“Blazing Sunbreaking Palm!” Mo Yan released all the power he had been accumulating. When his palm landed on the Gold-furred Demonic Ape, he left a huge hole on its body.

Under this palm, the Gold-furred Demonic Ape was forced to take several steps back. However, it didn’t end there. The higher realms jumped out from their hidden positions and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Gold-furred Demonic Ape.

With an earth-shattering explosion, all sorts of phenomena appeared. Facing the siege of the higher realms, Wu Mu, Mo Yan, and Mu Ziyi, the Gold-furred Demonic Ape no longer had its prestige.

However, the Gold-furred Demonic Ape still swept its gaze around before it clashed with Mo Yan head-on. This made Mo Yan throw up blood as the flames around him dissipated while he went flying.

Taking advantage of this, the Gold-furred Demonic Ape looked into the distance before stopping on Mu Ziyi. Although the Gold-furred Demonic ape was a demonic beast, it had great intelligence and knew who it should target.

But just when it was prepared to head for Mu Ziyi, Mo Yan charged back.

“Hehe. You want to force me back? It won’t be easy! Go back to where you came from!” Mo Yan’s face became sinister as the flame intent around him gathered once more before he threw a punch.

The Gold-furred Demonic Ape tried to block the attack, but it lost its balance from the impact and hit the ground.

“A golden opportunity!” Wu Mu’s eyes lit up as he executed a secret technique. Suddenly, his body started to swell as he prepared to suppress the Gold-furred Demonic Ape.

Mu Ziyi manipulated the spiritual array from afar to suppress the ape’s aura while Wu Mu relied on the artifacts and his physique to hold the ape back. As for Mo Yan, he was naturally responsible for inflicting damage.

As for the rest of the geniuses, they were responsible for exhausting the Gold-furred Demonic Ape’s vitality. If things carried on, the Gold-furred Demonic Ape would be exhausted to death sooner or later.

As for Lin Yun and Lil’ Red, they were watching from their hiding place as they waited for the right time to make a move.
