Chapter 348

: The Two-Headed Ferocious Ape!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
A third level fierce ape eyed the human who’d just charged into its territory. The Demonic Beasts in the Ancient Secret realm were not unfamiliar with humans.
Every hundred years, there would be large numbers of these snacks delivering themselves to their doorsteps. Most of these humans would die in here, while a small portion missed the timing to get out of the secret realm before it closed and was branded with the mark of the secret realm, condemned to a life within the secret realm.
The fierce ape was not in a hurry to attack this puny figure. A third level Demonic Beast had already unlocked its intelligence, and could sense danger from this human!
That was fear towards death, which it felt to be extremely inconceivable given its strength. Among the third level Demonic Beasts, it was definitely among one of the strongest. Even if it could not compare with the few ancient fellows here who could fight and kill fourth level creatures, it was not too far away from their level!

Roar!

The ape felt angry that it actually feared a puny human. It stood up and bared its three meter tall body of pure muscle. A golden light shone from its body, causing it to look like a fierce warrior!
Tian Mozi was in an extremely wretched state as he ran through the secret realm. Only after escaping for a distance did he manage to relax a little. A lofty peak eighth level cultivator like him was actually chased like a homeless cur through the streets, and the Heavenly Corpse Sect with countless years of legacy had also been razed to the ground!

Just wait, I will have my revenge! I only need half a month’s time. In half a month’s time, I will be able to sweep through Azure Blue World unrivaled!

Tian Mozi’s heart was bleeding with hate. The Heavenly Corpse Sect had been a mega-sect with over ten thousand disciples. However, it was nothing but ruins now.

All this is because of strength! If my Heavenly Corpse Sect had enough strength, what would it have to fear?!

Tian Mozi gritted his teeth and spat. A sickly red hue appeared on his face. Following that, he looked up at the huge ape before him with a dark gray look in his eyes. A slight sneer hung on his lips.

Let’s start with you!

Tian Mozi smiled evilly, sending a wave of panic through the fierce ape’s heart. Somehow, this human seemed more like the Demonic Beast compared to it!

Hou!

The fierce ape’s eyes had turned red as it raised its head to the sky and roared, the voice of its roar traveling for a hundred li!
Countless Demonic Beasts quivered in fright and hid themselves, not daring to move in the slightest. For the past several hundred thousand years, the superiority of the fierce ape tribe had already been ingrained into their minds.

Boom!

The fierce ape occupied a small mountain; when it unleashed its full might, the peak of the hill completely crumbled into pieces with a stomp of its foot! A large and thick crack appeared on the mountainside, extending all the way down!
The ape instantly broke past the speed of sound, creating a vacuum tunnel behind it as it barreled through the sky!

Die!

Tian Mozi was completely unfazed by this display of strength. He made a hand seal and pushed his finger towards the crazed ape!
With that single move, the fierce ape seemed to have eaten an immobility spell while midair, causing it to be unable to move!

Soul Extinguishing Finger!

Tian Mozi did not stop moving. With a fluid motion, he spat out a mouthful of essence blood. The essence blood writhed continuously in midair, forming an extremely archaic and evil finger!
The finger vibrated intensely, causing even the air around it to ripple as though it could not withstand the might of the finger! In an instant, the finger landed on the fierce ape’s forehead, leaving a devilish flower mark.
The ape fell to the ground and did not get up again. On the surface, it looked unharmed. But its soul had already been wiped out!

Cough, cough!

Tian Mozi spat weakly. Those two abilities were normally not something that third level cultivators could comprehend or cultivate. At the very least, one needed a cultivation at the sixth level and above to learn them!
Tian Mozi had forcibly executed the two powerful techniques with his third level cultivation, causing him to be injured further. Even though the resulting attack only contained a strand of the might of the actual technique, it was not something a third level Demonic Beast could withstand!

Damn it, my injuries are worsening. However, I just need to hang on for half a month more and everything will change!

Tian Mozi stretched his fingers out like claws and grabbed the fierce ape’s body before disappearing into the forest.
After a while, he arrived at a spacious cave. His hands were moving nonstop, placing numerous seals on the ape’s body.
At the same time, he was adding all kinds of things to the corpse. With every material he added, the ape’s aura would grow stronger by a large portion. Its body also shrank.
Tian Mozi felt some heartache about the materials. He’d saved the materials for refining a high grade corpse. Every single one was worth several thousand or tens of thousand spirit stones!
However, everything was being poured into a mere third level Demonic Beast’s corpse. It was truly a huge waste of good materials!
But there was no point in mentioning that his plans to refine a ninth level corpse or eight eighth level corpses were ruined. Even if he could refine fourth or fifth level corpses now, he would not dare to do it!
He only had the cultivation of the third level now. It was fine if he could display battle prowess at the fourth or fifth level, but if his cultivation exceeded that level, only death awaited him!
The three meter tall ape was currently not even one meter tall. It looked like the miniature version of the same ape, but it was looking more ferocious now.
Another head now sat on its shoulder, baring its teeth. A pair of black-scaled bat wings was sticking out of its back.
Demonic Corpses were divided into several classifications: Mortal Demonic Corpse, Earth Demonic Corpse, and Heaven Demonic Corpse!
First to third level corpses were Mortal Demonic Corpse, fourth to seventh level corpses were Earth Demonic Corpses, and level eight and nine corpses were Heaven Demonic Corpses!
It was not impossible to change the grade of a Demonic Corpse. However, it required large amounts of food and special materials to do so.
As for the Two-Headed Ferocious Ape before him, it was already strong enough to sweep through anything at or below the third level of cultivation. Its potential was also enormous!
It was originally a top-tier third level Demonic Beast. And its full potential did not stop at the third level. It simply could not break through because it was stuck in the secret realm!
On top of that, Tian Mozi had poured plenty of precious materials into it, enough to create a seventh level corpse by refining it. The potential of this corpse could be said to have reached a terrifying level!
According to legends, the ferocious apes were descended from the powerful ninth level Three-Headed Six-Armed Apes. The Three-Headed Six-Armed Apes were incredibly strong. Their strength was equivalent to the combined strength of nine regular Demonic Beasts at their level!
It was very rare for the Ferocious Apes to have a bloodline pure enough that it contained its ancestors’ blood. However, this Ferocious Ape actually managed to grow an extra head. That means that its bloodline was rather close to its ancestor’s!
An extra head meant that the Ferocious Ape’s strength had multiplied!
It was the equivalent of having two peak third level Demonic Beasts living in one Ferocious Ape’s body. Its current strength was not as simple as adding one and one!
Right now, this Ferocious Ape would not be disadvantaged even if it were fighting a newly advanced fourth level cultivator!

Haha! I hadn’t expected that the bloodline of Ferocious Ape was actually stimulated to such a point! The heavens are helping me! With this Two-Headed Ferocious Ape to help me in this secret realm, I won’t fear any opponent!

Tian Mozi laughed loudly as he recovered from his surprise. As long as he was not surrounded by too many people, he would definitely be able to carve a way out!
Even if a seventh level expert suppressed their cultivation to the third level and entered the secret realm to pursue him, the battle prowess they would be able to display would still only be at the level of the previous Ferocious Ape.
There were a few of the top ten Heaven’s Chosen that could kill fourth level cultivators with the strength of a third level cultivator.
But only eighth level cultivators could unleash unleash battle prowess at the fourth level with a cultivation at the third level.
The reason for this was that the boundary between the seventh level and the eighth level was a clear level of demarcation where one’s abilities would change drastically. Several hundred or a thousand seventh level experts would not even be able to stop an eighth level cultivator from slaughtering them at all!
At this time, the world outside the secret realm was boiling over with commotion. Numerous experts listed on the Heaven’s Chosen Roll were rushing over.
The Heaven’s Chosen Roll listed the top 1,000 third level geniuses in the entire Azure Blue World. Now that the secret realm had opened, a large portion of these geniuses had decided to enter it!
