The Battle Word Manual once again appeared between Lu Ming's eyebrows. It shone brightly and attracted everyone's attention.
"The Ancient Origin 'Battle' Symbol! It really is the Ancient Origin 'Battle' Symbol!"
The chief of the Dark Ape Battle Clan murmured to himself. Then, his body trembled slightly. He seemed to be very excited.
"Greetings, Patriarch of the Dark Ape Tribe, Yuan Huan!"
Then, the leader of the Nether Ape Battle Clan bowed respectfully to Lu Ming.
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
Following that, the other powerful figures of the Nether Ape Fighting Tribe also bowed respectfully to Lu Ming.
However, not everyone bowed to Lu Ming. A small number of them stood still and the Grand Elder was one of them.
"Patriarch, please get up. Why are you calling me Patriarch?"
Lu Ming quickly helped Yuan Huan, the leader of the Nether Ape Battle Clan, up and asked curiously.
"In the past, we of the Dark Ape Tribe swore to be loyal to Patriarch Startled Feather. Now that Patriarch Startled Feather has fallen and you are his successor, you are naturally our new Patriarch!"
The clan leader of the Dark Ape Battle Clan bowed respectfully. It was not an act.
"I see!"
Lu Ming nodded, thinking in his heart that this was what Lan Shang had described. Previously, when the Grand Elder wanted to kill him the moment he saw him, he was dumbstruck.
"Yuan Cong, the new Patriarch is here. Come and greet him!"
The patriarch of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe scolded the Great Elder of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe.
"New Patriarch? Hehe, you may recognize him, but I don't! "
Yuan Cong sneered.
"Why not?"
Yuan Huan asked.
"Back then, Battle Ancestor Jingyu was extremely powerful. His divine might was peerless and his battle prowess was unparalleled. Our Dark Ape Fighting Tribe was naturally convinced by him. However, this brat is only a Heavenly God. What future does our tribe have if we follow him?
Yuan Cong sneered.
"Cultivation can be improved. He is still young, so he will be able to improve his cultivation in the future!"
Yuan Huan said.
"Hehe, do you think it's easy to improve one's cultivation? How could it be that easy? Without exceptional talent, one's achievements will be limited in the end! "
Yuan Cong smiled disdainfully, "As for him, he could only rely on the assistance of a metallic lifeform when he fought earlier. Otherwise, probably any Godking would be able to kill him on his own!"
Yuan Huan frowned and asked, "Then what do you want?"
"If he wants to become the new Warlord of the Nether Ape Battle Clan, that's fine. He'll have to pass our test and enter the eighteen levels of hell. As long as he passes the nine levels of hell, I'll acknowledge him as the new Warlord, and I'll be loyal to him.
Yuan Cong shouted, his voice spreading throughout the entire area.
His words caused the eyes of some of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe members who had originally approved of Lu Ming to light up.
That was right, the matter of the Battle Progenitor was no small matter.
The Dark Ape Battle Tribe had to submit to the new War Ancestor unconditionally. This was a matter of life and death for the tribe.
If the new Battle Progenitor's talent was average, and his future cultivation was average as well, what could he achieve by following this person?
It might even lead the Dark Ape Battle Clan down a path of no return.
"I think the Great Elder is right. This person must pass the test before he can become the new War Ancestor!"
"That's right. As long as he can pass the Nine Levels of Hell, he'll pass!"
Some of the experts who were on the Great Elder's side spoke out.
"We're not looking down on the War Ancestor, but the Great Elder is right. We'll have to trouble the War Ancestor to take the test. If the War Ancestor doesn't agree to take the test, we'll send the War Ancestor safely out of the Ghost Region!"
At that moment, an old Dark Ape Battle Tribe member who had approved of Lu Ming spoke out.
"You …"
The Patriarch of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe, Yuan Huan, was in a difficult position.
"Alright, I agree to take the test!"
Lu Ming spoke out, his voice spreading throughout the area.
He had experienced a lot along the way, and he naturally understood that if he wanted to convince others, he had to show them something worthy of their trust.
Strength was a capital, and so was talent.
Therefore, if he wanted to subdue the Dark Ape Battle Tribe, he had to show them something worthy of their trust. Only then would he be able to use the Dark Ape Battle Tribe.
When Jing Yu had subdued the Dark Ape Battle Tribe, he had not only relied on the Battle Character Art, but also his strength.
Since he wasn't strong enough, he could only rely on his talent.
"Alright, Great Elder. You've heard him. He has also agreed to take the test!"
The Great Elder looked at the Great Elder.
"Alright, then let's take the test. In three months, we'll open the Eighteen Levels of Hell!"
The Great Elder of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe, Yuan Huan, finally made his decision.
Seeing that Yuan Huan had given the order, the Great Elder smiled.
The Eighteen Levels of Hell weren't easy to pass. Every level was difficult, and passing the Nine Levels was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
If Lu Ming couldn't pass the Nine Levels, it would be a good reason to send Lu Ming away. If Lu Ming really passed the Nine Levels, it meant that his talent was really amazing. Then why not acknowledge Lu Ming as the War Ancestor?
"Let's go back to the tribe!"
Yuan Huan ordered. Immediately, Lu Ming followed Yuan Huan and the others and flew forward.
After flying for a while, huge ancient trees appeared in front of them.
These ancient trees were really too big. Many of them were more than a hundred meters in diameter, and many of them were more than a thousand meters in diameter. The canopy of the trees reached into the clouds. At a glance, these ancient trees were everywhere. It was a magnificent sight.
At a glance, there were figures leaping back and forth between the ancient trees. They were all members of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe.
Lu Ming was surprised that the Dark Ape Battle Tribe lived in these ancient trees.
When they returned, the experts left one after another.
After that, someone arranged for Lu Ming's residence. Soon, Lu Ming arrived at an ancient tree that was a few hundred meters in diameter.
A courtyard was built between the branches of the ancient tree. It was rather elegant.
This was Lu Ming's residence. Lu Ming would stay here for the time being.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, a Dark Ape came and said that the Great Elder of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe had invited him.
Lu Ming followed the Dark Ape Battle Tribe and came to a huge tree that was more than five thousand meters in diameter. He entered a palace among the branches.
"Greetings, Great Elder of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe!"
Lu Ming cupped his fists slightly.
"Greetings, Great Elder of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe!"
Yuan Huan quickly bowed to Lu Ming.
"Great Elder of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe, why did you call me here?"
Lu Ming asked.
"It's about the test. Great Elder of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe, I guess you don't know the details of the Eighteen Levels of Hell."
Yuan Huan said.
"I don't know. Please tell me!"
Lu Ming said politely.
"The Eighteen Levels of Hell is a special place in the Ghost Region. It's not worth mentioning to us. However, it's difficult for young people like you to pass through it!"
"The Eighteen Levels of Hell are the training grounds for the younger generation of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe. There are eighteen levels in total and each level is more difficult than the previous one. Even a First Layer Divine King Realm genius would find it difficult to pass through nine levels. Great Elder of the Dark Ape Battle Tribe is only at the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly God Realm!"
Yuan Huan explained.
