Chapter 455: Chapter 456 Two Monkeys
Seven hundred!
Eight hundred!
Victory was in sight, and Li Xiaobai’s lips curled into a smile, completely disregarding the threats from the various elders.
Facing such mysterious actions, Liuren finally sensed something was amiss.
“Young Master Li, why are you continuously wielding that stick? What on earth are you doing?”
“Hehe, nothing much, just exercising my body,”
Li Xiaobai said indifferently.
At nine hundred, he was almost able to trigger the skill Shatter the Skies!
Even the slow-reacting elders around him could sense that something was not right at this moment. Ever since Li Xiaobai got hold of the fire-starter stick, he hadn’t stopped swinging it, constantly wielding, could it be that there was some deeper meaning in these actions?
Moreover, after pulling out the fire-starter stick, he suddenly changed his attitude, turning unrecognizable from his previous humble appearance to the current indifference.
As if he did not care about anyone else at all.
What exactly gave him such confidence?
Was it the stick that was suspected to be the Sea-Calming Divine Needle?
“Brat, stop that, don’t wield that stick!”
An elder had a bad feeling rising in his heart and shouted sternly, trying to stop Li Xiaobai’s actions and subdue him once again.
But it was already too late.
The condition of a thousand swings had been met.
In an instant, the previously ordinary fire-starter stick burst into an aura of brilliant light, its dazzling golden glow erupted, and an overwhelming primitive aura swept across the entire scene. The golden stick soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds, and the words Sea-Calming Divine Needle were deeply imprinted in the hearts of all present.
The void trembled, breaking the skies.
A golden monkey materialized, leaped into the clouds, with sharp eyes shooting out splendor, looking down at everyone present from a height.
This time, Li Xiaobai saw it even more clearly; it was indeed a golden monkey, but unlike the one in Liuren’s possession, this monkey was more robust, with less agility but more imposing aura.
Especially its arms, which were incredibly long. In Central Province, it was hard to see clearly from a distance, and its body was enveloped in golden light, but now, standing right underneath it, he could see clearly. Those were two slender arms that almost reached its own ankles when hanging down.
This abnormality might be related to its innate abilities, but unfortunately, for now, he could only unlock the skill Shatter the Skies and was still unable to glimpse the effects of the subsequent skills.
But even so, the erupted power was terrifying.
Compared to last time, the golden giant ape was clearly much steadier and did not exhibit any rampant thunder-like symptoms. Instead, it stood at the cloud’s apex, looking down on the people with contempt, as if it was seeking its favored prey.
“This is…”
“It really is the Sea-Calming Divine Needle!”
“This kid has not deceived us, but this Sea-Calming Divine Needle seems a bit different; the gap between that golden giant ape and the Vice Leader is too big!”
“Could it be that in this world, there truly exists a second Sea-Calming Divine Needle?”
“The aura of this golden giant ape is not weaker than any of us, it too stands at the peak of the Mahayana Realm!”
“Quickly retreat, when deities fight, we could get caught in the crossfire!”
All the ancestor figures were thoroughly shocked and dumbfounded; they couldn’t understand how the fire stick in Li Xiaobai’s hand had turned into the Sea-Calming Divine Needle.
Moreover, the power of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle far exceeded their imaginations. They originally thought that an artifact summoned by a junior, no matter how precious, could certainly not harm them.
But at this moment, they realized they were wrong, and outrageously so; from the body of the golden behemoth, they sensed a fatal threat.
If they were to fight it one-on-one, they feared they would not be its match and would suffer severe injuries.
In fact, they couldn’t be blamed, after all, from beginning to end no one had informed them of Li Xiaobai’s true circumstances. The impression of Li Xiaobai among the leading figures of Central Province still remained that of a young prodigy in possession of an unusual treasure.
It had not aroused much concern.
“Damn it, kid, if you had such a high-level treasure, why didn’t you take it out earlier? Quickly rescue the old beggar, let’s sweep through this battlefield together!”
The old beggar looked at the colossal golden rod standing between heaven and earth in the void, excitedly shouting at the top of his lungs.
This thing’s power was no less than that of the one in the Vice Leader’s hand; if he were to use it, sweeping through these ancestor figures would be a breeze.
“Young Master Li really keeps his cards close to his chest. I’ve known him for so long and never heard him breathe a word of this; truly a man who walks the path of the unbeatable!”
Song Que’s eyes were also filled with shock. With such a treasure, people like Mei Changqing were not a threat at all, and the protectors of Fire Qilin Cave were like ants, easily crushed to death.
“Is this really the Sea-Calming Divine Needle!”
Liuren inhaled sharply, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. Although she had prepared herself mentally, seeing it with her own eyes still shocked her.
She had always believed since the beginning of her cultivator’s journey that the Sea-Calming Divine Needle was the unique treasure of Aolai Country, one of a kind in the world, but today she had seen another, which violently shook her to the core.
“Roar!”
The golden rod in hand uncontrollably shot forth, likewise radiating golden light piercing the sky, and a golden Six-Eared Macaque leaped into the clouds, turning into a little golden sun. It glared with blood-red eyes, baring its teeth fiercely, confronting the Long-Armed Divine Ape from afar.
The clouds dispersed at that moment, waves of scorching breath surged towards the crowd, as if wanting to melt the entirety of the heavens.
“Is this… the Sea-Calming Divine Needle reacting to that ape, the two Artifact Spirits wanting to contest each other?”
The cultivators watching the apes in the sky filled their eyes with surprise; they truly had never seen such a situation before.
Two Sea-Calming Divine Needles, two Divine Ape Artifact Spirits facing each other at a distance—it was a battle to determine the victor!
However, the Long-Armed Divine Ape seemed uninterested in the Six-Eared Macaque. After a brief glance, it ignored the fierce roars of the other, continuing to self-indulgently survey the scene below.
It was looking for a suitable point to execute “Shatter the Skies.”
“Roar!”
Seeing this, the Six-Eared Macaque felt even more irate, sensing a severe challenge to its authority, which filled it with rage.
In the void, the words “Sea-Calming Divine Needle” detached from the golden rod, transforming into several beams of light that entered the Six-Eared Macaque’s forehead. The golden Divine Ape’s form trembled, a supremely strong ancient aura suddenly bursting forth, sweeping through the entire battlefield.
Yet, the Long-Armed Divine Ape still showed no interest in the scene, still gazing downward, not giving the other so much as a second glance.
The numerous cultivators below wore strange expressions; it seemed like the Vice Leader’s Sea-Calming Divine Needle had been ignored by someone else?
So arrogant?
“Roar!”
The Six-Eared Macaque, furious, stretched out its hand to summon the golden rod into its grasp, its form flickered, transforming into a golden fierce sun that charged violently towards the Long-Armed Divine Ape. The rod in hand thrust forward, aiming directly at the opponent’s forehead, intent on a domineering killing blow.
But the next second, its expression changed…
