"Who's there!"
The moment the green-robed man approached the Blood Ape World, two True Spirit experts of the Blood Ape World appeared and blocked his path, hollering.
The green-robed man smiled and cupped his fists. "I'm Su Zimo and I'm here to visit an old friend."
Su Zimo did not intend to continue hiding after leaving Sword World and relinquishing his position as the peak master of Ninth Sword Peak. Instead, he wanted to revert to his true name.
On one hand, it was because his cultivation was growing and he had the strength to protect himself.
On the other hand, it was also because of the strength of Wu Dao's True Body!
"Old friend?"
The two Blood Ape True Spirits frowned and sized up Su Zimo with a scrutinizing gaze.
The green-robed man looked travel-worn and should have come from afar.
True Spirit experts would encounter many unexpected dangers if they traveled long distances through the cosmos – it could be said that they would most likely die!
This human True Spirit looked frail – to think that he would have such guts and methods.
"What's the name of your old friend?"
The Blood Ape True Spirit on the left asked.
"I don't know,"
Su Zimo shook his head gently.
The expressions of the two Blood Ape True Spirits darkened. They thought that Su Zimo was toying with them and were about to fly into a rage.
Su Zimo spoke once more, "That old friend came from Tianhuang Mainland in the lower world. When he was in the lower world, he did not have a name. Therefore, I'm not sure if he has a name after ascending."
"Tianhuang Mainland?"
The Blood Ape True Spirit on the right frowned slightly and whispered, "Could it be Senior Brother Yuan Huang?"
"That's possible,"
The one on the left replied, "Master asked Senior Brother Yuan Huang and he seemed to have mentioned that he came from some Tianhuang Mainland. That's why he used that name."
When the two Blood Ape True Spirits saw that Su Zimo had a friendly expression and sounded sincere without any pretense, they let down their guard.
"Follow me,"
The Blood Ape True Spirit on the left turned and led the way towards the blood-colored mountain peak while saying, "The True Spirit Battle is being held in our race recently and Senior Brother Yuan Huang is also a popular candidate for the number one True Spirit."
"Oh?"
Su Zimo's eyes lit up.
It seemed that not only was the monkey living a good life in the Blood Ape Realm, but he was also successful in his cultivation. He actually had a chance of contending for the title of the number one true spirit in the clan!
"May I know your name, fellow daoist?"
Su Zimo asked.
"My name is Yuan An."
The True Spirit of the Blood Ape Clan replied.
The two of them sped along, and it didn't take long for them to arrive near the blood-colored mountain peak.
As soon as he approached, Su Zimo heard the cries of Sanguine Apes reverberating between the numerous mountains and ancient trees. It was extremely lively.
Su Zimo looked over and saw numerous Blood Apes gathered near the blood colored mountain, and numerous figures stood on the ancient trees. They were densely packed and innumerable, causing it to be an unprecedentedly grand scene.
From the looks of it, this True Spirit Battle was a rare event for the Blood Ape Realm!
At the foot of the mountain, there were ten huge stone platforms. On each platform, there were two Blood Apes fighting each other.
There was even a gigantic empty ranking board pasted on the blood-colored mountain peak.
Yuan An explained, "Those ten stone platforms are the battle platforms of our race and that ranking board is the Combat Ranking. In every True Spirit Battle, only the top ten clansmen will be able to leave their names on the Combat Ranking."
Su Zimo nodded and scanned his surroundings, searching for traces of monkey.
"Senior Brother Yuan Huang is over there. “
Yuan An pointed into the distance.
Su Zimo looked over and could not help but chuckle.
The Blood Ape in the distance was seated in a lotus position with his eyes closed. Although his side profile was facing them, Su Zimo recognized him immediately!
That Blood Ape named Yuan Huang was none other than monkey!
After so many years, monkey's body had changed tremendously. His body was clearly much taller and more muscular while his arms were longer and abnormally thick.
"Senior Brother Yuan Huang just fought a huge battle and is recuperating. Don't disturb him for now."
Yuan An did not continue to lead Su Zimo forward. Instead, he descended on the periphery and said in a low voice, "The top ten of the True Spirit Battle have been decided. There's still the final ranking battle. It won't be too late for you to visit him after the ranking battle."
"Alright."
Seeing that monkey was fine, Su Zimo was not in a hurry to meet him. He could observe monkey's abilities from the side.
Su Zimo took a quick look. In this True Spirit Battle of the Blood Apes, apart from the many spectators and participating True Spirits, there were also six Kings presiding over the True Spirit Battle.
Not long after, the battle for the top ten began.
Su Zimo noticed that two of the top ten Blood Apes were only at the Kongming stage. Monkey was one of them.
The remaining eight were all at the Dongxu stage.
Monkey was able to enter the Combat Ranking at the Kongming stage and even had the chance to compete for the title of number one True Spirit. It seemed that he was indeed capable.
"Who's that?"
Su Zimo's gaze landed on one of the top ten Blood Apes as he asked softly.
That Blood Ape had a dark face and an unusually ferocious gaze. He was covered in thick fur and his blood qi was extremely vigorous.
Even from afar, Su Zimo could sense the strength of his bloodline!
The bloodline of that Blood Ape was clearly superior to the other nine and was definitely monkey's greatest opponent.
When Yuan An heard Su Zimo asking about that person, he frowned instinctively and dodged his gaze. His expression was a little strange, as though he was fearful and disgusted at the same time …
"He's Ma Xuan."
Yuan An replied.
Su Zimo asked again, "Why is his surname Ma?"
He could understand why the Blood Apes chose the surname Yuan. But where did the surname Ma come from?
Yuan An pursed his lips slightly. "His background is different. His status and bloodline are much nobler than ours. Naturally, we can't compare."
Su Zimo could tell that there was a hidden meaning in Yuan An's words.
Indeed, there were some Blood Apes gathered together in the surroundings and they looked different from monkey, Yuan An and the other Blood Apes.
The most obvious difference was that those Blood Apes had dark faces and were taller and stronger.
Before he could continue asking, the battle on the fighting platform had already broken out.
The ten Blood Apes fought in pairs.
Monkey was up against a Paradise Void Realm True Spirit. Both parties clashed the moment the battle started and the melee combat was exceptionally intense!
Although monkey's cultivation realm was lower, he was not weak in melee combat.
Furthermore, monkey's battle intent was clearly suppressing the other party and he fought even more valiantly!
Su Zimo nodded to himself.
If nothing unexpected happened, monkey should be the victor of this battle.
Right at this moment, an unexpected event occurred abruptly on another combat arena!
A Blood Ape was severely injured and defeated. It turned to flee from the fighting platform.
However, the tall, dark-faced Blood Ape caught up to him and smashed down with its cudgel, shattering the top of his head. His soul was scattered, and his body and Dao vanished!
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he narrowed his gaze.
That was way too ruthless!
This time, it was completely aiming to kill!
He had long heard that the Blood Apes were ferocious and belligerent. Could they be that ruthless against their own race as well?
The victor was clearly decided earlier on and there was truly no need for them to be so ruthless.
Or could there be other reasons behind this?
Before Su Zimo could figure it out, the victor was decided on the other battlefield as well.
To be precise, it was a life and death battle!
Ma Xuan pounded his chest and howled in excitement. Gripping his spear tightly with his other hand, he pierced the head of the Blood Ape opposite him and smashed it into pieces!
The Headless Blood Ape's corpse fell into a pool of blood and twitched unconsciously in a tragic manner.
