Jianchen followed behind Zhou Chuyun and searched for the markings Zhou Chuyun had left behind along the way. It had to be mentioned that Zhou Chuyun was very smart. He had left behind over twenty markings that pointed to the locations where the divine water of the world had appeared. The markings were all different, so others would not be able to tell anything from them. Only Zhou Chuyun knew what was hidden within them.
Jianchen's group changed directions from time to time and followed the markings. They killed a few beasts along the way and finally stopped after almost a hundred kilometers. They carefully hid behind a large rock.
Five kilometers in front of them, more than a dozen Ferocious Beasts were standing motionlessly in a circle, as if they had been petrified. A ferocious beast aura emanated from their bodies, causing many of the weaker Ferocious Beasts to not dare to approach them.
The beasts were monstrous in size. The larger ones were ten meters tall and twenty to thirty meters long, while the smaller ones were tiger-like, only two meters long. Although there was a huge difference in size, they were extremely powerful. They had all reached the 15th Star, and one of them had even reached the 16th Star.
In the center of the dozen or so beasts, there was a walnut-sized green liquid floating two meters above the ground. It was confined there by a powerful energy.
"Fantastic. The divine water of the world really is still here. It hasn't been devoured by the beasts. The heavens are really helping us," Zhou Chuyun was overjoyed.
"The divine water of the world is actually the size of a walnut. That's already quite a lot. The divine water of the world that appears in the sea realm is basically only the size of a thumb," Liu Jun sighed in amazement as his breathing became ragged.
"One, two, three, four, five … Heavens, there are actually eighteen ferocious beasts. I remember the last time we came here, there were only thirteen ferocious beasts. Now there are five more." Zhou Lin began to count the number of ferocious beasts from afar.
Jianchen stared at the eighteen beasts that surrounded the divine water. His mind immediately surged because he could see specks of light in the eyes of the beasts, which left him extremely shocked. The beasts had actually developed some faint intelligence. Although they were not very powerful, it was still very difficult for Jianchen to believe.
The beasts were far weaker than the violet serpent dragon at the top of the mountains. The violet serpent dragon had yet to develop its own intelligence, yet the beasts had already developed it. This clearly did not make sense.
"The beasts seem to be in a stalemate. They all want to devour the divine water, but they don't dare to act recklessly," Jianchen said softly.
"That's right. They've already maintained this stalemate for quite some time. They were already in a stalemate when we came last time. I never thought that they would still be in a stalemate after so many days, but there have been five more," Zhou Chuyun said with a heavy voice.
"Why do I get the feeling that these Ferocious Beasts already possess their own intelligence? Could the legends be true? Once the Ferocious Beasts in God's Domain consume the Divine Water of Heaven and Earth, they will develop a faint intelligence. Moreover, these dozen Ferocious Beasts have all consumed the Divine Water of Heaven and Earth before?" Liu Jun asked suspiciously.
"Then it's just too much of a waste. Such precious divine water has actually ended up in the mouths of these beasts," a member of the Blue Sky Adventurers said softly.
Jianchen was already prepared to take action. He pulled out the Emperor Armament from his Space Ring and said to Zhou Chuyun softly, "I'll go take the divine water of the world. Stand back."
"Esteemed warrior Yang Yutian, you must be careful. After all, you'll be facing eighteen powerful beasts that have developed some intelligence this time," Zhou Chuyun said in concern.
Roar! Roar!
Just when Jianchen was about to take action, two great roars suddenly rang out from afar. They were extremely loud, rolling over like thunder, causing the ground of the divine realm to gently tremble.
Muffled footsteps could be heard as a hundred-meter-tall giant ape with a forty-meter-long axe on its shoulder walked over from afar. Every step it took caused the ground to tremble as if an earthquake had occurred.
On the shoulder of the giant ape sat a small divine ape that was only two meters tall. It was obviously its child. Behind its tall and burly body, there was a giant ape that was twenty meters tall. The two giant apes, one in front and one behind, walked in the direction of the divine water of heaven and earth. They did not leave each other's side for even an inch.
Jianchen's face immediately changed. The ape at the front was actually at the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor, while the twenty-meter-tall ape behind it was at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. Such a powerful lineup was basically invincible in the divine realm.
Jianchen's gaze suddenly landed on the huge axe on the ape's shoulder. He was surprised once again. It was actually an Emperor Armament.
"An intelligent ape at the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor with an Emperor Armament …" Jianchen felt his throat dry up. The ape was clearly not something he could deal with. Although he believed that the ape could not unleash the power of the Emperor Armament, it was still shocking enough.
At this moment, the dozen or so beasts surrounding the divine water were already restless. They could feel the strength of the huge ape, and fear appeared in their eyes. Some of the beasts were even slowly retreating, wanting to give up on the divine water.
Roar! The Great Ape in the front strode towards the 18 beasts. It raised its head to the sky and let out a roar. Then it decisively brandished the Great Axe in its hand and chopped towards the nearest beast.
The ferocious beast let out an angry roar. It opened its mouth and spat out a very powerful energy ball that flew out like lightning.
With a loud boom, the ball of energy spat out from the beast's mouth was smashed into smithereens by the giant ape's axe. After that, the axe's momentum didn't decrease in the slightest as it continued towards the beast, splitting its entire body into two halves with its head as the center.
The 15th Star beast was slain by the ape in a single strike before it could even cry out.
A cruel blood-red light appeared in the ape's eyes. Although it possessed a certain level of intelligence, it was still an extremely bloodthirsty beast. It did not plan on letting the other beasts go after killing the 15th Star beast. It continued to swing its axe at the remaining beasts.
The other beasts seemed to sense the ape's killing intent as well. They all roared and immediately lunged at the ape at the same time, unleashing their most powerful attacks.
Facing more than a dozen powerful beasts, not only did the giant ape not have the slightest fear, it even let out a roar of excitement. It handed the child on its shoulder to the giant ape behind it, carried the giant axe, and charged into the group of beasts in large strides. It was incomparably brave.
Although the ape behind it possessed the strength of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor, it did not attack. Instead, it retreated a short distance and watched from afar.
Now that the attention of many beasts had shifted from the divine water of the world to the ape, one of them opened its mouth and attempted to swallow the water. It wanted to take advantage of the chaos to devour the divine water.
However, at this moment, a huge axe fell from the sky with lightning speed, chopping off the beast's head. Blood dyed the sky.
The battle there was extremely intense. The furious roars and deafening booms of many beasts rang out in the distance, alarming all the experts in the divine realm. Immediately, many experts hurried over from all directions. Of course, there were a few more cowardly experts who fled even further away.
The ape fought against the beasts alone with its Emperor Armament. Not only was it at ease, but it even gained the upper hand. It swung the Emperor Armament around wildly, becoming more and more valiant as the battle progressed.
The ape was unable to unleash the full power of the Emperor Armament, but even with that being the case, it was still able to unleash terrifying power with the toughness of the Emperor Armament and its supreme strength. The Emperor Armament seemed to be an indestructible metal rod to the giant ape. It could withstand its power.
Jianchen, Zhou Chuyun, and the others watched from afar. All of them were shocked, stunned by the supreme strength the ape had displayed.
"That giant ape has clearly come for the divine water of the world. He probably wants to give it to his child. This is going to be troublesome. It looks like we'll have to let this divine water go to waste." Zhou Chuyun's face was filled with regret.
"Why don't we retreat? Once the ape deals with the magical beasts, it'll probably come for us. We don't even have the ability to flee before the ape," Liu Jun said with deep worry.
"Senior Yang Yutian, may I ask what you plan on doing?" Zhou Chuyun looked at Jianchen, clearly wanting Jianchen to make up his mind.
Jianchen stared at the two apes closely. He was extremely stern as he said with a deep voice, "I must obtain the divine water of the world." Jianchen had already made up his mind to obtain the divine water of the world. Although he could not deal with such a powerful ape, there was still Ruijin and the other two in the artifact space. Unless he was truly at his wit's end, he did not want to rely on Ruijin and the others too much.
"Senior Yang Yutian, that ape is just too powerful, and there's an equally powerful ape behind it. Can you deal with the two of them by yourself?" Zhou Chuyun asked.
Jianchen thought about it before replying, "I'll try to lure the two apes away. Once they're far away, immediately collect the divine water of the world as quickly as possible and then leave this place."
After discussing with Zhou Chuyun and the others, Jianchen took out the saint artifact and entered the artifact space. Afterward, the saint artifact directly burrowed into the ground and approached the battlefield.
The battle lasted for a while before all the vicious beasts were slain by the huge ape. Blood dyed the ground. The huge ape rested the Emperor Armament on its shoulder and crouched down to stare at the walnut-sized liquid below. It slowly extended its thick hand toward the divine water of the world.
The female ape standing behind it also stared at the divine water of heaven and earth with a happy expression. Only the little ape sitting on its shoulder had a dull expression. It hadn't developed intelligence yet.
At this moment, a golden light appeared. Jianchen silently appeared behind the female ape and grabbed her child with lightning-like speed. Afterward, he kicked the ape's shoulder with both feet and used the force to propel himself away. He shot off into the distance without even looking back, leaving behind a series of faint blurs. He had used the Illusory Flash to the limit.
At the same time, a golden streak of light shot out from the ground and quickly caught up to Jianchen. It shot into Jianchen's forehead and disappeared.
Roar! Roar!
