Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Ah!

Suddenly, a scream came from the side.

Zhao Shuo caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, the eldest, Zhao Wenxi, had already fallen to the ground, a big hole in his chest, clearly not going to survive.

Zhao Shuo had no time to grieve.

At this moment, he only felt the sword in his hand getting heavier, and his robust Innate True Qi was being consumed at an alarming rate.

But he could neither call for help nor dare to run away, as the condition of his clan's cultivators was hardly any better than his.

If he cowardly fled, he would certainly die in the end.

If not by the hands of the White Ape, then by those of his own clan members.

Since either way was death, why not die for the clan.

"Hang in there!" Zhao Shuo encouraged himself internally, and with a hardened heart, he swallowed the Bursting Qi Pill hidden under his tongue.

An hour later, he felt as if a volcano had suddenly erupted in his stomach, an infinite heat instantly spreading throughout his body, and in an instant, his limbs and bones were refilled with strength,

At the same time, a vast amount of Innate True Qi continuously generated from his muscles, bones, and organs, quickly filling his nearly depleted Dantian with Innate True Qi.

Instantly, Zhao Shuo's spirit reached an unprecedented peak,

It slowed down!

The previously fast-moving White Ape that left afterimages suddenly seemed much slower, and Zhao Shuo could now clearly see its movements.

Kill!

Zhao Shuo roared, his eyes suffused with blood, the Wandering Dragon Sword as fast as lightning, its tip emitting a three-inch sword radiance, instantly piercing the forehead of the White Ape opposite him.

With the aid of the Bursting Qi Pill, Zhao Shuo, facing life and death, had broken through and officially entered the Innate Great Success Realm.

Bang!

Zhao Shuo swung his sword to deflect a whistling stone, and suddenly leaped into another battle, joining hands with Cultivation Clan members to confront a White Ape.

The human-ape war quickly intensified, with the Zhao family side soon having six or seven members fall, while the White Apes, having fought continuously and lacking energy, lost even more.

Zhao Sheng, Zhao Jijian, and Zhao Keru, all braced tightly, stared at the stone cave.

As soon as the battle began, the White Ape King rushed out of the cave like a gust of stench, soaring.

No sooner had it shown itself than a Red Rainbow Sword came slashing head-on.

Bang!

A swath of stick shadows swept across the sky, easily knocking the Red Rainbow Sword flying with a bang.

Just then, an expanse of thick fog suddenly emerged, enshrouding much of the White Ape King's body out of nowhere.

In the blink of an eye, countless water droplets laden with sharp Sword Intent within the fog vibrated intensely, instantly triggering the Godslaying Sword Intent.

At that moment, deep within the ferocious eyes of the White Ape King, a sword light was seen growing bigger and bigger, eventually filling its heart.

The next instant, it felt an excruciating pain in its head, as if it were split into two by a sword.

The White Ape King's ferocious eyes suddenly became vacant, and its body instantly stiffened on the spot.

Great opportunity!

Just then, the ground under its feet flashed with yellow light, and a golden ring python suddenly rushed up from below, not only tightly wrapping around the White Ape King's thick legs but also pulling down fiercely.

Splash!

The White Ape King was violently dragged below the waist into the ground.

At that moment, the White Ape King's spirit reconverged, and it timely supported itself with its arms against the ground. This barely prevented itself from being tragically dragged underground.

It was a mere miscalculation, yet it lost the whole game!

The White Ape King, who had roamed the mountains for hundreds of years, could never have imagined how many times humans had rehearsed to deal with it.

Just as it managed to stabilize its sinking body, a spiritual cauldron as large as a vat suddenly dropped from the sky and heavily smashed onto its head.

Humming!

The White Ape King was stunned, immediately seeing a chaos of golden light and feeling the world spinning around it.

Plunk!

In an instant, a blur of the Red Rainbow Sword whizzed past its eyes, and then it felt a sharp pain in its neck followed by severe pain in its eyes, losing sight.

In the moment before plunging into darkness, the White Ape King heard a tremendous bang from the stone cave, followed by an angry roar in its ears.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Watching the White Ape King's head soar high, Zhao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately flew to the side of the stone cave, standing next to Zhao Xuanjing.

By then, the stone cave had already collapsed, but the rubble blocking the entrance continued to tremble; moreover, faint roaring sounds of the Mother Ape King could still be heard from behind the cave.

Zhao Xuanjing spoke with a grave expression, "Uncle Seven, it looks like it won't hold much longer."

Zhao Sheng, looking relaxed, replied, "No matter, the overall situation is already set."

As they spoke, Zhao Keru and Zhao Jijian had already charged into the ape troop and started a massacre.

An hour later, as the sun rose over the mountain, Lush Peach Mountain had returned to its usual tranquility.

However, the bloodstains, corpses, and severed limbs scattered across the mountain, and the dense scent of blood lingering in the air, signaled that a fierce battle had just taken place.

In an open area near the stone cave, seventeen or eighteen dispirited White Apes were tightly bound by loops of Iron Wire Vine around their limbs and thrown aside.

In front of them, not only lay the grinning White Ape King's head, but also the Mother Ape King, barely alive.

Seeing both their Clan King and clan queen about to die, the apes showed sad expressions on their faces, their eyes flickering with obvious fear.

Zhao Sheng stood by, closely observing the Mother Ape King, and when he saw a pleading look in its eyes.

A spark of light flickered in Zhao Sheng's eyes, and with a flip of his right hand, a three-inch-long flying sword suddenly appeared.

He approached and aimed carefully at the mother Ape King's heavily swollen belly, cautiously making an incision.

Shortly after, as the longing gaze of the Mother Ape King dimmed, Zhao Sheng held up a baby-sized Little White Ape in his hand.

Moments later, as the Little White Ape opened its eyes amid crying, the first sight it saw was that man.

At that moment, Zhao Jijian approached Zhao Sheng with a solemn face, speaking in a low tone, "Nineteen are dead; twelve from Innate, one from Qi Refinement Middle Stage, and six from early stages. Additionally, six are severely injured, and also, Zhao Keqing has suffered severe chest and lung injuries, and his meridians are broken; he'll be stuck at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer for life."

After hearing this, Zhao Sheng's expression was very sad, and he couldn't help but lament, "A Pyrrhic victory indeed!"

Zhao Jijian, however, consoled him, "The will of heaven is hard to defy! Heaven had destined our Zhao family to face this catastrophe. Fortunately, we ultimately won. Lush Peach Mountain is now ours."

Zhao Sheng handed Little White Ape to Zhao Jijian, simultaneously saying, "This little creature as well. Our family will no longer lack a guardian beast for the mountain."

After the great battle, there were many trivial matters to handle, such as cleaning up the battlefield, burying the clan members, collecting the spoils of war, and so on.

It took two solid days for the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Zhao family to get a break and start dealing with the collected treasures.

Zhao Jijian, Zhao Keru, and Zhao Sheng stood beside a pile of treasures, each picking through them.

The first treasure Zhao Sheng picked up was not the Storage Bag of the red-robed elder but the White Ape King's big stick.

When he grabbed it, Zhao Sheng felt his hand suddenly weigh down.

Goodness, it must weigh at least a thousand pounds!

Thankfully, the White Ape King didn't get a chance to use its stick technique, or else no one could have withstood its strike.

Hey,

Zhao Sheng suddenly exclaimed in surprise, his eyes focused on a sword mark on the big stick, where he saw flickering blue light within the indentation.
