Dust cloud rose up.
The sky devouring ape retreated two steps, half of it face already burnt beyond recognition.
" Is this the way the Xuanhuang empire plan to repay me?!!" The sky devouring ape asked in pain, the white flames which clung to his skin like a parasite slowly burning away it fur, skin and bones!.
Wenbo didn't answered the ape, instead his brow furrowed deeper.
' Alas....I really can't kill with that' Wenbo thought with a sigh.
His initial plan was to instantly kill the ape with a punch, but being a cultivator who specialises in spells it was impossible.
' Forget it, let's focus first ' Wenbo thought as his aura burst forth like water from a broken dam causing the expression of the sky devouring ape to become ugly.
" Mid-stage of the mystical ascension realm?!!" The sky devouring ape screamed in shock.
It had known it opponent was strong but he didn't expect him to be a mid-stage mystical ascension cultivator.
' No I have to retreat!!' The sky devouring ape thought as it eyes sharpened, as he frantically absorbed the surrounding demonic qi.
" Sky lock!!" The sky devouring ape screamed instantly activating it demonic skill.
Unlike cultivators, demonic beast possess the ability to learn a new skill as they advanced in every realm, and the sky devouring ape 'sky lock', could be considered among the highest in mortal realm as the skill allow the sky devouring ape to utilise the power of the sky, locking those who had a lower realm than it and slowing than those who possess the same realm or surpass his realm by a small margin.
*Boom!*
With a thunderous explosion, the sky devouring ape soared to the sky fleeing desperately.
Wenbo, intending to pursue frowned slightly, noticing his actions being slowed.
" Do you think you can run?" Wenbo said as he watched the receding figure of the sky devouring ape, his figure slowly became blurry like a mirage and he vanished.
" Run, Run..." The sky devouring ape muttered incoherently as it flew through the sky towards the XuanHuang empire.
" If I can enter the XuanHuang kingdom, I will surely be safe!" The sky devouring ape thought, though the pursuing cultivator is a mid-stage mystic ascension realm cultivator the sky devouring ape didn't believe that he could survive against the two ancestors of the Xuanhuang empire.
" Where do you think you're going to?"
Wenbo calm voice sounded causing the pupils of the sky devouring ape to constrict as it stares fearfully at the cultivator in it front.
" You're time is up why run?" Wenbo said and before the sky devouring ape could react he had already appeared before it his hand shooting forward with more power this time, white flames coiled around it like a glove instantly incinerating the fur of the ape.
" Roar!!!" The sky devouring ape screamed painfully but it couldn't delay it inevitable death.
*Boom!*
A thunderous sound resounded through the heavens as the now headless sky devouring ape slowly fell, but Wenbo quickly waved his sleeve sending the corpse inside his space ring and with a glance towards the East he vanished.
....
Few minutes later.
Above the desolate forest, the void rippled as two old men appeared.
One is an old short man, his white hair cascaded to his waist, and he wore a royal purple robe with the logo of a humane figure at his chest.
The other had a more taller stature but with a bent back and his hand behind his back, his short white hair reached his shoulder just like his companion he wore a royal purple robe with a humane figure at his chest.
This two are well known figures in the Xuanghuan empire, the two guarding immortals!.
" It seems he ran " The short old man said with a frown his gaze sharpen as his divine sense rapidly spread through the entire forest and his frown deepen, he continued, his voice shimmering with unrestrained anger, " And it seems he killed the ape "
The sky devouring ape a beast that would normally be exterminated by the Xuanhuang empire has been left for hundred of years, it was not that the Sky devouring ape was stronger than the two immortal, but it was the beastly essence in the sky devouring ape that had kept it alive as one couldn't extract it when the beast is alive.
" There's no need to get angry the culprit has already ran " The tall old man said calmly as he vanished.
The short old man frowned taking a glance at the now destroyed desolate forest before he too vanished.
Unlike the tall old man the short one was actually the one who anticipated the extraction of the beastly essence, but now the beast had actually been killed!.
' Pray I don't catch you!'
........
Fourth peak.
Above the fourth peak, the void rippled as Wenbo appeared his aura spread through the entire peak instantly catching the attention of all the cultivators below.
" I-Isn't that the immortal?!"
" Hiss, he really is the one!!"
" So handsome!!"
The cultivators chatted excitedly.
The immortal of the cloud blossom sect is now the most high rising immortal in the entire Xuanhuang empire and the disciples of the sect naturally enjoyed the privileges.
*Swoosh!*
Eder Hao flew from the main cave and soon stood on the air together with Wenbo.
" Junior brother do you need anything?" Elder Hao asked with a smile.
Wenbo smiled as he took his spatial ring and gave it to Elder Hao, " Senior brother Hao I found a good material for a pill and weapon I wonder if you could help refine them before the opening of the secret realm "
Elder Hao raised an eyebrow as he sent his divine sense into the spatial ring instantly he stood stricken, cold sweat trailed down his back.
" J-Junior brother t-this....!" Elder Hao stared at Wenbo in shock.
Just the probing of his divine sense had almost wiped out his soul and this was just a corpse, if the real deal were to appear before him Elder Hao was sure he wouldn't even survive a glance, ' This beast must at least been a half step-immortal or maybe an immortal!"
Wenbo smiled calmly as he said, " That's the corpse of the sky devouring ape "
