Chapter 1418: Chapter 29: Netherworld Third Young Master

Sandstorms reversed, and the fierce wind howled.

Xie Xuanyi threw punch after punch, each one resonating with the Great Dao, and heaven’s will.

Despite the vast difference in their Divine Bodies.

But the scene was clearly in Xie Xuanyi’s favor, as he firmly suppressed the Primordial Saint, leaving him unable to counterattack, only able to defend.

"This kid’s moves..."

"Why do they feel so familiar?"

The more the Primordial Saint fought, the more alarmed he became.

In the intelligence mastered by Great Ape Mountain, there had been mentions that Xie Xuanyi was not only skilled in the Flying Sword Skill, but his physical body was also quite remarkable. Yet, such a level of physicality was no different from that of purely Martial Artists... After the fight started, the Primordial Saint felt that every move and style of the opponent hit his "Achilles’ heel."

No matter how he defended, it was extremely uncomfortable!

Most importantly, Xie Xuanyi’s fist technique bore a strong resemblance to the essence of Great Ape Mountain!

Could it be that the Saint Prince secretly passed on his teachings to him?

Because this battle was too difficult, the Primordial Saint even entertained the absurd notion that Xie Xuanyi had somehow stolen the Cultivation Technique from Great Ape Mountain.

"This [Primordial Holy Map], although I’ve only comprehended the first layer, it still offers significant benefits to close combat."

Xie Xuanyi continued to punch amidst the sandstorm.

His eyes grew increasingly golden, his entire aura more majestic, and his war intent rose like a swelling tide.

Five strands of Divine Thought, as hoped, captured a fleeting inspiration from the [Primordial Holy Map].

But it was merely a fleeting inspiration.

The Fighting Secret Technique left by the Holy Emperor requires a lot of time to slowly comprehend.

"The Primordial Saint’s strength is decent, but compared to the Saint Prince, it’s still lacking."

Xie Xuanyi observed the massive figure before him, a slight hint of disappointment flickering across his Heart Lake.

In Falcon Wind Gorge.

The battle he had with the Saint Prince was truly exhilarating.

If not for the pressure from the [Heavenly Phoenix Palace], Xie Xuanyi would’ve loved to keep fighting with the Saint Prince... He vaguely comprehended something in that battle, but in the battle against the Primordial Saint, he gained almost no special insights. The progress in Martial Arts insights entirely came from the [Primordial Holy Map].

"Sorcery, Great Ape Golden Body!"

In the sandstorm.

The multiple layers of suppression finally became unbearable for the Primordial Saint.

He spoke in a low voice filled with anger, bit into his palm, and a torrent of golden blood poured down from the Heavenly Peak, enveloping several miles of surrounding area.

Crackling!

The golden rain fell on Xie Xuanyi’s robe, producing a dense, crisp sound, like iron needles piercing the ears!

"Using sorcery now?"

Xie Xuanyi squinted, unmoved.

He wanted to see what unique aspects the Primordial Saint’s sorcery and Divine Skills had.

Just then.

In the pouring golden rain, the snow-white Great Ape "demon body" shrank rapidly... Because of his Life Oath, the Primordial Saint lost the opportunity to transform into a human form, but under the blessing of this [Great Ape Golden Body] Divine Skill, his hulking demon body swiftly condensed into a towering figure just over ten feet tall.

Compared to ordinary people.

This figure was still very tall and large.

But compared to his original demon body, this shell was indeed much smaller. The Primordial Fire burning in his Great Acupoint converged at this moment, bursting forth a more vigorous aura than before! At this moment, he was like the sun, exuding a blazing air current, and his aura rose significantly more than before!

It was still an ape body, but it already had a human shape.

"This Divine Skill..."

Xie Xuanyi stared at this golden demon body. Although he hadn’t yet practiced the [Primordial Holy Map] to a deeper level, he vaguely visualized some images. The golden body of the Primordial Saint at this moment seemed to have a close connection with the Observation Skill in the [Primordial Holy Map].

The Fighting Secret Technique created by the Holy Emperor should not have been lost entirely.

If I guess correctly.

The Little Ape King should have passed it down, but it was a fragmentary version. From an outsider’s perspective, the Primordial Saint exhibiting the [Great Ape Golden Body] might seem extremely powerful, with almost no flaws, but in Xie Xuanyi’s eyes, this Primordial Saint had several Great Acupoints unperfected.

If I continue to comprehend the [Primordial Holy Map], I should be able to perform this [Great Ape Golden Body] Divine Skill.

"Come! Again!"

After his demon body shrunk, the Primordial Saint’s war intent soared, clashing his fists together, emitting golden sparks.

He stared intently at Xie Xuanyi, having suffered losses due to his oversized demon body earlier, but now that his shell was smaller, he had become much more agile, no longer needing to worry about Xie Xuanyi’s nimble and unpredictable assault. With a loud shout, he charged at Xie Xuanyi once more.

Amidst the thick sandstorm, golden light splattered.

The two figures, one large and one small, tangled together once again.

"The Primordial Saint was pushed back..."

"The Primordial Saint is going again!"

"The Primordial Saint used ’Divine Skills’!"

Not far away.

The demon cultivators of Great Ape Mountain, all focused intently, anxiously awaiting the outcome of this battle.

At the beginning, the Divine Thought of Venerable Black Mountain could vaguely glimpse the general situation, but after the Primordial Saint used Divine Skills, the entire battlefield was engulfed in rolling airwaves. As soon as his Divine Thought skimmed the battlefield’s surroundings, it was shredded. The intensity of this battle far exceeded Venerable Black Mountain’s imagination. Even as a proud Yin God, he didn’t even have the qualification to watch from afar!

"Retreat."

At that moment.

The young noble surrounded by a group of Great Demons spoke with a gloomy expression and issued an order.

"Retreat?"

The Great Demons looked at each other.

"Young Master Ming."

A Qi-controlling Realm Great Demon spoke in a low voice, cautiously, "We’ve traveled miles to the [Ruins], and we’re just going to retreat like this? The Primordial Saint and that Great Divine Ability User haven’t decided the winner yet..."

As soon as he finished speaking.

With a slap!

The young noble delivered a slap coldly, "What... are you questioning me?"

The Qi-controlling Great Demon was sent flying by that slap, crashing heavily and sliding tens of feet across the desert, his eyes full of fear, not daring to show any anger.

"..."

The demon tide buzzed with noise.

The Great Demons who could come to the [Ruins] all had remarkable Realms. Reaching the Qi-controlling Realm already turned them into significant figures in the vast Demon Country.

However, at this moment.

Exchanging glances, their expressions were odd, but no one dared to voice any objections.

"Ming San."

At that moment, a deep voice rose from among the demon tide.

It was a Yin God Realm Venerable draped in a green robe, his presence like a mountain, always silent.

At this moment, he finally spoke.

"This trip to the [Ruins] consumed a favor from your father... Are you sure you want to turn back now?"

"Venerable Zhu Yan."

The young noble of Great Ape Mountain known as Ming San took a deep breath.

In the presence of this Venerable, Ming San’s demeanor was noticeably less arrogant than when dealing with other Great Demons.

His attitude was much more restrained, his tone significantly gentler.

"I’ve made up my mind, the trip to the [Ruins] ends here... I appreciate everyone for enduring the long journey with me, and the promised benefits will not diminish. As for the Primordial Saint, I will explain to him personally."
