The demonic beasts on the eastern slope began to charge up with all their might.
Soon, they were only a hundred feet away from the top of the mountain. This was the range of the Gold Fiend Soul Severing Formation.
The thirty-five Demon Extermination Crossbows fired at the same time.
Unfortunately, the demonic beasts were too scattered. This round of firing only killed a dozen or so demonic beasts and injured twenty or so.
However, the casualties were all second-grade demonic beasts. The overall strength of the demonic beasts was not affected much.
When it was testing the waters, the second-grade ape had already figured out the characteristics of the Demon Extermination Crossbows. After one attack, the next attack would take three breaths of time.
After this round of firing, it would not be able to attack again for three breaths of time.
With the speed of a second-grade upper-grade demonic beast, three breaths of time was enough for it to reach the top of the mountain and finish off the Demon Extermination Crossbows.
The ape roared and took the lead to rush forward.
When the rest of the demonic beasts saw that their leader had charged up, they followed suit.
This time, Wang Daoyuan and the rest were dumbfounded. The demonic beasts were charging over recklessly. Relying on the flying swords to kill the enemies was completely useless.
Even if some cultivators cultivated powerful and powerful ultimate moves, they would not be able to use them in such a short time.
The ape was not simply charging over. It seemed to be accumulating strength to release a powerful ultimate move.
After a breath of time, a blue single-horned phantom appeared on the ape's forehead.
The single-horned phantom was more than a foot long and flashed with streaks of lightning.
This ape was more than thirty feet tall and covered in black fur. If not for the blue single-horned phantom, it would look no different from an ordinary black ape.
In the space, the doppelganger flipped through the Myriad Spirit Atlas to find out the species of this ape.
However, in the Myriad Spirit Atlas, it did not find the exact same species as this ape.
However, there were indeed ape-type demonic beasts with a blue single-horned phantom on their heads.
This kind of ape-type demonic beast was called the Horned Lightning Ape.
Its biggest characteristic was the blue single-horned phantom on its forehead that flashed with lightning.
The description of its horn in the book was exactly the same as the phantom on the black ape's head.
The Horned Lightning Ape was one of the strongest among the ape-type demonic beasts.
It was said that an adult pure-blooded Horned Lightning Ape's cultivation could reach the sixth-grade.
The Horned Lightning Ape that was discovered and recorded by human cultivators was at most a mid-grade Rank Five Demonic Beast.
The Single-horned Lightning Ape had great potential. In a battle between demonic beasts of the same level, it was second only to demonic beasts with a high concentration of Divine Beast bloodline.
The Horned Lightning Ape wasn't afraid of other Demonic Beasts of the same level.
Of course, the ape in front of him was definitely not a pure Horned Lightning Ape.
A real Horned Lightning Ape's fur wasn't black.
A young Horned Lightning Ape was covered in white fur, which gradually turned golden, and finally purple gold.
The horn on the Horned Lightning Ape's forehead was a real horn.
It wasn't like the ape in front of him, which only appeared when it cast a spell.
However, the Horned Thunder Ape bloodline in this black ape was not especially thin.
Otherwise, the blue horn would not have appeared when he cast the spell.
Wang Daoyuan was secretly delighted. With this fellow with the bloodline of the Horned Lightning Ape, this trip was not in vain.
If he could capture this black ape, whether it was to recognize him as its master or to refine it into an avatar, it would be a great help.
He made up his mind to think of a way to capture this black ape.
The most important thing right now was to break this black ape's attack.
Even the true form of its ancestor was revealed. This attack of the black ape was definitely not a joke.
Wang Daoyuan didn't hold back anymore. He gathered the Five Elemental Spiritual Energy on the Five Dragon Soul Chasing Whip and lashed it towards the black ape's position.
The Five Dragon Soul Chasing Whip was not long enough to hit the black ape, but the force of the Five Elemental Spiritual Energy was very destructive within a hundred feet.
The speed of this force was even faster than a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator's flying sword.
The black ape couldn't dodge the force of the force in time.
It would either be killed by this whip, or use the spell that it had been accumulating for a long time to block this force.
Without a doubt, the black ape chose to use its innate spell to block this attack.
The horn on the black ape's forehead condensed into a ball of lightning the size of an adult's fist. It collided with the force of Wang Daoyuan's whip.
This ball of lightning was indeed the bloodline inheritance of the Horned Lightning Ape. Even though the black ape had not fully condensed the ball of lightning, the power of this attack was still slightly stronger than Wang Daoyuan's Five Elemental Attack.
The two attacks collided and exploded with a strong shockwave that swept across a radius of twenty feet.
Wang Daoyuan didn't know the black ape's strength. He really didn't know if the Five Elemental Attack could resist the black ape's innate spell.
Therefore, after this whip was lashed out, he immediately used the Smoke Escape and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators also reacted quickly. They immediately used their escape techniques and scattered in all directions, successfully dodging the shockwave of the explosion.
However, the Qi Refinement cultivators nearby weren't so lucky. They didn't have time to dodge at all and were directly engulfed by the shockwave.
A total of five Demon Exterminating Crossbows and five Qi Refinement cultivators were torn apart by the shockwave.
There were also two Qi Refinement cultivators nearby who were severely injured by the shockwave. However, there was still hope of survival.
The beast horde didn't have it easy either. Although the beast horde was more scattered than when they were probing, there were still many demon beasts within a radius of twenty feet.
The second-tier inferior-grade demon beasts were severely injured and even killed.
The second-tier middle-tier demon beasts were also severely injured.
Although the second-tier superior-grade demon beasts weren't seriously injured, they were still thrown to the ground by the shockwave.
Although the impact on the combat strength of the entire beast horde wasn't to the extent that they were seriously injured, the momentum of the entire beast horde's charge was restrained.
This bought some time for the cultivators controlling the Demon Exterminating Crossbows.
They successfully fired another volley of arrows before the demon beasts could charge up.
The demon beasts were stunned by the explosion. Just as they reacted, they suffered another volley of arrows. The losses were much greater than the previous time.
More than thirty demon beasts died and close to fifty were injured.
At this moment, within a hundred feet of the mountain peak, a strong murderous aura suddenly exploded.
Wang Daoyuan could only feel the murderous aura everywhere. It was as though hundreds of demon beasts were lying in ambush around him, ready to attack him at any moment.
He only wanted to use all his strength to attack his surroundings. He knew that this was the activation of the Gold Malevolent Soul Severing Formation.
Even the minds of human cultivators were affected to this extent, let alone demon beasts with low intelligence.
The timing was rather good. After being attacked twice in a row, the demon beasts were in a chaotic state and their minds were the easiest to be affected.
Indeed, many demon beasts' eyes started to turn red as they attacked everything around them without restraint, including their companions.
The entire beast horde was in a mess.
The few demon beasts that were able to remain conscious were also captured by those that were not.
The worst thing was that a second-tier metal-attribute Dharmic art would appear in the beast horde from time to time. This was the attack method of the Gold Malevolent Soul Severing Formation.
The location of the Dharmic art was even more arbitrary. Usually, it would appear near a demon beast's vitals and was impossible to guard against. It was very easy to kill a demon beast.
Even if one could avoid the fatal attack of the Dharmic art, as long as one was injured, the wound would slowly corrode and the demon beast would become extremely violent.
If not for the low frequency of the Dharmic art, these Dharmic arts would have been able to destroy the entire beast horde.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators were not idle either. They flew in the air on their swords and threw all sorts of Dharmic arts at the beast horde.
At this rate, the entire beast horde would be wiped out in less than an hour.
The black ape was not affected by the formation at all. It let out a thunderous ape roar and all the living demon beasts in the beast horde woke up.
After that, the black ape turned around and ran down the mountain. The living demon beasts also fled down the mountain.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators chased them all the way to the foot of the mountain.
The beast horde did not stop at the foot of the mountain and continued to flee towards Yellow Stone Peak.
More than a hundred demon beast corpses were left on the mountain slope and at the foot of the mountain.
More than half of the demon beasts that attacked Crouching Tiger Mountain were killed.
