Someone beat me to it?
This was something unexpected. After all, this mission was not like the earlier assassination mission, which was not shared with the other palaces.
Given this, it could only be that someone else wanted to obtain this Blazing Sun Berserk Ape's Beast Core.
The Blazing Sun Berserk Ape possessed a berserk bloodline. Its Beast Core was very valuable and could be refined into a Medicinal Pill with a berserk effect.
If one could reduce or eliminate the side effects, then the refined Medicinal Pill would tempt even Xiao Chen.
Just think about it. It could instantly raise one's cultivation by several times. That was simply horrifying.
Even if there were some side effects, it could be used as a trump card to turn the tide at a critical moment. It was still very attractive.
After withdrawing his aura, Xiao Chen silently appeared on a mountain peak. Then, he opened his Heavenly Eye.
The Heavenly Eye soared into the sky and hid in the clouds. Immediately, Xiao Chen saw the scene of that person fighting the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape.
That person fought two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes alone on the lava-covered land without being at a disadvantage.
That person wore golden dragon robes and a purple-gold crown on his head. He also wore several rings with gems embedded on his fingers.
That person exuded a noble aura. Strands of golden Dragon Qi circled his body.
That person's cultivation was not high, only early-stage Holy Venerate. However, his aura and the air that he gave off were stronger than several late-stage Holy Venerates that Xiao Chen had seen before.
"The Six Colored Divine Dragons, the Golden Dragon Race!"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself. The Golden Dragon Race was the strongest of the Six Colored Divine Dragons. The current Dragon Emperor, who was also the Dragon's Gate's Master, was the current Dragon Emperor.
The Golden Dragon Emperor held supreme authority in the Divine Dragon Empire, and his strength was incredibly horrifying.
Naturally, the overall strength of the Golden Dragon Race was higher than that of the other five races. Without the corresponding strength, one could not take the position of Dragon Emperor. The other five races were not people to be trifled with.
When the two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes worked together, their strength equaled that of a late-stage Holy Venerate. Furthermore, they did not go berserk.
If they went berserk, their overall strength would be even higher.
This person dared to fight one against two. He was truly confident in his strength.
Xiao Chen squinted and discovered that the five rings on the other party's hand were all inherited Dao Tools. Looking at the golden dragon robe, it was also an inherited dao treasure. In other words, this person could use the power of six great daos.
This …
Xiao Chen felt somewhat speechless. In reality, inherited Dao Tools were even more useful than Soul Tools from a certain point of view.
Xiao Chen could not bring out a Soul Tool at full power. He could only use it slightly and could not control it freely.
As for inherited Dao Tools, he could use them casually. As a Holy Venerate, he could easily bring out the full might of inherited Dao Tools.
With so many inherited Dao Tools, it was no wonder this person was so confident, daring to barge into Blazing Sun Valley alone and fight two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes alone.
The Blazing Sun Berserk Ape was covered in long, fiery-red fur. When it stood upright, its fur looked like it was on fire when it fought.
Its body was as large as a small mountain, and it let out angry roars from time to time, causing the surrounding lava to explode.
Terrifying waves of fire burst out and soared into the sky before turning into burning flames.
When they fell, they were like blazing meteors, dazzling and resplendent. They crashed into the ground with a huge impact.
This resulted in an even bigger explosion, and the surrounding waves of fire never stopped.
That Golden Dragon Race cultivator fought steadily, occasionally using his Great Dao Energy to easily resolve the various dangers, dealing with them calmly.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, thinking of countermeasures.
The reward for the Blazing Sun Valley mission was slightly less, only eight thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills.
However, to Xiao Chen, this was a huge sum. He absolutely could not give up on it.
However, someone had already beaten him to his target, and the battle had gone on for a long time. Xiao Chen did not want to attract unnecessary trouble.
Xiao Chen could only search for other targets. There were many ferocious beasts in Blazing Sun Valley. It would not be easy to find other Blazing Sun Berserk Apes.
For example, Xiao Chen had searched for the target before him for several days before finding it after much difficulty.
If he was unlucky, he would have spent even more time.
"How unfortunate."
Xiao Chen shook his head and left decisively to search for other Blazing Sun Berserk Apes.
Four hours after Xiao Chen left, the two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes finally lost their patience and went berserk.
"Boom!"
The ground instantly cracked, turning into a sea of lava. Only a few places could stand.
A strong and berserk aura spread out from the two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes. Their heavy breathing sounded ear-splitting like thunder.
At this moment, the most suitable countermeasure was to put some distance between them.
Xiao Chen could not clash head-on with the two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes. After this period, it would be time to reap the harvest.
However, this young Golden Dragon Race cultivator revealed a smile on his face. He did not show any signs of pulling away.
Anticipation flashed in this young Golden Dragon Race cultivator's eyes as he muttered, "They finally went berserk. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time already!"
This young Golden Dragon Race cultivator did not move at all as he stood on the sea of flames. The two berserk Blazing Sun Berserk Apes charged at him without even thinking. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
With every step the Blazing Sun Berserk Apes took, they kicked up tsunami-like fiery splashes, shaking the surrounding five thousand kilometers. Terrifying roars spread out, causing many ferocious beasts to flee in fear. "Boom!
Boom! "
The attacks of the two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes landed on the Golden Dragon Race cultivator at nearly the same time. His golden dragon robes glowed.
The golden dragon motifs on his robes seemed to come to life, forming a golden dragon shield around him. "Ka ca!"
The dragon shield immediately shattered. The huge rebound knocked the two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes into the air.
The two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes crashed into the sea of flames, kicking up large waves. When the waves fell, it looked like fire rained down from the sky.
The two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes were severely injured. The earlier dragon shield seemed to have some trick to it. The stronger the attack, the more severe the injury.
The auras of the severely injured Blazing Sun Berserk Apes instantly plummeted from their peak. They were even weaker than before they went berserk.
"Die, then!"
The yellow-robed cultivator snorted coldly. Under his control, the shattered golden light in the air shattered. Under his control, the shattered golden light in the air carried the Golden Dragon's Might as it flew out. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" Thousands upon thousands of incredibly sharp golden shards stabbed into the bodies of the two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes.
The lifeforce of the two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes immediately drained rapidly. It only took a moment for them to go from peak to end.
The Blazing Sun Berserk Apes lost their patience, but so did the yellow-robed cultivator. He had never thought of dodging these berserk Blazing Sun Berserk Apes.
The five gemstone rings on the yellow-robed cultivator's hands flashed at the same time. Then, five Dao disks appeared behind the yellow-robed cultivator.
Layers of Dao Might layered over each other, and his aura reached an incredible level. Then, he punched.
A five-colored fist wind kicked up boundless waves, finishing off this dying Blazing Sun Berserk Ape.
The yellow-robed cultivator revealed a smile after successfully retrieving the Beast Core. "With two Beast Cores, it is time to search for the remaining Blazing Sun Berserk Apes." ---
Two days later:
Xiao Chen's luck was pretty good. He found a pair of Blazing Sun Berserk Apes at the foot of a desolate mountain. He did not rush to make a move, patiently observing them.
As he observed this pair of Blazing Sun Berserk Apes from afar, he kept his guard up against the other ferocious beasts in the valley.
Xiao Chen had a hard time. For the past three days, he had been observing the two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes' every move in great detail.
Xiao Chen was not like the Golden Dragon Race cultivator, who was covered in inherited Dao Tools. He could only be cautious and create the most suitable opportunity to attack.
If only the Demon Blood Vulture were here. With its speed and strength, it could easily lure one away for Xiao Chen.
However, that did not matter. After observing for three days, Xiao Chen finally found an opportunity.
The two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes did not always forage together. They also took turns to forage, but there was no pattern.
On this day, the opportunity that Xiao Chen had found came.
One of the Blazing Sun Berserk Apes came out alone again. However, it did not stray too far from its companion. As long as it roared, it would quickly receive a response.
If Xiao Chen attacked head-on, the other Blazing Sun Berserk Ape would definitely sense it.
"Whoosh!"
Standing on the mound, Xiao Chen took out the Soul Slayer Bow. Then, he drew back the bowstring and fired an arrow, striking the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape that went out to forage.
That Blazing Sun Berserk Ape immediately became enraged and charged in the direction of the arrow.
The other Blazing Sun Berserk Ape found this slightly strange. However, it did not sense any danger. Since its companion did not call out to it, it did not pay it any mind.
Just like that, Xiao Chen leaped around the mountain, luring this Blazing Sun Berserk Ape further away. However, he still did not show himself.
This drove this Blazing Sun Berserk Ape crazy.
"It's almost time."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and put away the Soul Slayer Bow. Then, he turned into a bolt of lightning and shot into the clouds.
In the next moment, Xiao Chen arrived before the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape that had been left behind. This Blazing Sun Berserk Ape already felt that something was wrong.
Just as he was about to give chase, Xiao Chen suddenly appeared and launched an attack at him.
Just like that, the distance between the two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes widened.
As Xiao Chen dealt with the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape's pursuit, he carefully avoided the territories of some overlord-class ferocious beasts. He lured the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape to a remote area.
For the past three days, Xiao Chen had been observing the actions of these two Blazing Sun Berserk Apes. However, his Heavenly Eye did not stop.
He had already grasped the terrain and the ferocious beasts within a million miles.
Only by making ample preparations did this operation go smoothly.
Four hours later, Xiao Chen stopped on a vast piece of black land.
He silently turned around and instantly executed Firmament's Rage.
"Boom!"
The colossal palm carried the rage of a Great Desolate Eon Ancestor Dragon as it descended from the sky. Its fingers were like sabers, flickering with electric light as it smashed at the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape chasing after him.
That Blazing Sun Berserk Ape had never expected its prey, which had been fleeing, to suddenly attack.
Caught off guard, the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape got struck by Firmament's Rage.
The Blazing Sun Berserk Ape's colossal body was smashed down in midair. The Blazing Sun Berserk Ape's coarse skin and thick flesh immediately became riddled with wounds.
Electric light flickered endlessly as the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape lay on the ground, howling in pain.
His anguished wails contained a shocking rage.
"Boom!"
The instant the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape got up, it suddenly entered a berserk state. A blood-like flame burned on its body.
The Blazing Sun Berserk Ape stared straight at Xiao Chen, and a terrifying ferocious might pressed down on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and the mountain behind him instantly shattered under this ferocious might, vanishing without a trace.
"It went berserk in advance."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. The situation before him somewhat surpassed his expectations.
The main reason was that Firmament's Rage was too mighty. The moment Xiao Chen attacked, it injured the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape, making it feel threatened.
If the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape did not go berserk, its injuries would worsen, and it would have no chance of defeating Xiao Chen.
"However, that's fine. It will be fine after this period."
After the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape went berserk, Xiao Chen was not willing to clash head-on with it. He would suffer greatly with every exchange.
Using Light of Freedom's Movement Technique, Xiao Chen turned into lightning and continuously clashed with the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape.
The Blazing Sun Berserk Ape swatted at Xiao Chen like it was swatting a fly. However, it could not land a hit on Xiao Chen.
The horrifying attacks completely changed the landscape, turning it into a scene of desolation, riddled with thousands of holes. The ground cracked, covering five thousand kilometers. Shattered rocks filled the air, covering the sun and sky.
"Boom!"
Just at a certain moment, Xiao Chen felt the Blazing Sun Berserk Ape's aura drop.
The electric light turned into a lightning dragon, charging over with a boundless Dragon Might of thunder.
The Blazing Sun Berserk Ape got knocked into the air. When it landed, it blasted out a huge pit. No matter how hard it tried, it could not stand up.
"Whoosh!" The lightning dragon circled around, and Xiao Chen landed at the edge of the huge pit. Then, he looked coldly at this Blazing Sun Berserk Ape.
After all, ferocious beasts were ferocious beasts. Their intelligence could not compare to that of cultivators. Of course, cultivators like Murong Yan did not count.
In hindsight, Murong Yan was actually very similar to this Blazing Sun Berserk Ape.
Just as Xiao Chen prepared to deliver the final strike with the Tyrant Saber, a disharmonious voice rang out behind him.
"Haha! Not bad. This young master feels gratified that there is a talent like you among the mixed-blood dragons. Step back, then. I want this Blazing Sun Berserk Ape's Beast Core. I, Qin Aotian, owe you a favor. In the future, you can come to the Golden Dragon Palace to repay me. "
