CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139 PURPLE-EYED DIVINE LIGHT (SEEKING SUBSCRIPTION)

The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword and the Golden Qian Mother and Child Blade, even though they couldn’t kill the Demon Ape,

could at least cause it some trouble to defend against.

With Foundation Establishment Cultivation, the Demon Ape didn’t have much difficulty blocking these two attacks.

Brandishing its spear furiously downward, it first blocked the Golden Qian Mother and Child Blade, then evaded the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword’s attack. A murderous intent surged in its purple eyes as it fiercely swung its spear toward the nearby Lu Zhiwei.

A spear thrust straight ahead!

Zhiwei’s expression turned to surprise. She hurriedly recalled the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword to fend off the attack.

The spear shot forward at incredible speed, so fast that to the naked eye, it turned into a mere shadow and then clashed firmly with the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.

In terms of tier, both were Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, and upon contact, neither could overpower the other.

Having blocked the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword’s attack, the Purple-eyed Demon Ape then deftly maneuvered its spear to counter the incoming Golden Qian Mother and Child Blade, repelling it with a few loud bangs.

Not only that, the Demon Ape’s purple eyes suddenly opened and closed abruptly at this moment.

From the pair of purple eyes, two icy, bone-piercing divine lights suddenly shot forth, heading straight for the closest target, Lu Zhiwei.

"Little sister, don’t resist it head-on!"

Lu Yuanshan shouted loudly, seeing the situation was unfavorable. Realizing the Purple-eyed Demon Ape was using the Purple Eye Technique, he hurriedly stepped on the Purple Extreme Escape Light, flashing in front of Lu Zhiwei.

He once again channeled his Foundation Establishment Stage Magical Power to activate the Water Element Shield, setting up a Water Element Shield to block the attacks of the two purple-eyed divine lights.

This purple-eyed divine light was the Purple-eyed Demon Ape’s innate divine technique, a form of attack magic.

When shot directly, it can penetrate a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s body and poses a threat to a cultivator’s divine soul.

If one were struck by the purple-eyed divine light, even if the body had no lethal damage, the mere spiritual damage would leave the cultivator in great distress and gravely injured.

That’s true for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and a Qi Cultivator’s divine soul is even more fragile, often resulting in certain death if hit.

Fortunately, Lu Yuanshan reacted swiftly and, with the aid of the Purple Extreme Escape Light, managed to protect Lu Zhiwei from the attack.

"Zhiwei, Changfeng, you two move farther away. The innate divine techniques of this Demon Ape contain great danger and are beyond your capabilities; don’t be reckless."

"As planned, Yuanshan, try the Vermilion Bird Ring to see if you can entrap the Demon Ape."

With the change in the battle situation, considering the Purple-eyed Demon Ape’s innate divine techniques meant certain death for a Qi Cultivator, the safety of Lu Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng became a priority.

Speaking of a Qi Cultivator’s agility without the assistance of the Purple Extreme Escape Light, it was virtually impossible to evade the attack of the purple-eyed divine light.

Lu Ping decisively instructed Lu Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng to move farther away, allowing Lu Yuanshan to handle the fight ahead.

Before setting off, Lu Zhiwei had already unbound the Vermilion Bird Ring and temporarily handed it to Lu Yuanshan.

Hearing Lu Ping’s instruction, neither Lu Zhiwei nor Lu Changfeng acted recklessly.

Especially Lu Changfeng, though his nature was a bit rash and he is prone to impulsive actions.

But he was also well aware that this battle was no child’s play, so after hearing Lu Ping’s instructions, he exchanged glances with Lu Zhiwei and together they retreated to the distance.

The magical artifacts were timely recalled into their hands.

Seeing the two retreating far away, the Purple-eyed Demon Ape did not choose to pursue but turned its attack on Lu Yuanshan.

In its view, the human of the Foundation Establishment Stage before it posed the greatest threat.

As the purple eyes opened and closed, two beams of purple-eyed divine light once again shot out, launching an attack on Lu Yuanshan.

This time, not needing to protect Lu Zhiwei, Lu Yuanshan did not use the Water Element Shield but instead used the Purple Extreme Escape Light to swiftly dodge.

With an instant as if teleporting, the purple light surged and flickered like a dream, evading the shot of the two purple-eyed divine lights.

Two sizzling sounds.

The purple-eyed divine light struck the ground, penetrating over a zhang deep, emitting a thick, dark black fog spreading outward.

Seeing its attack miss, the Purple-eyed Demon Ape’s purple light surged in its eyes, preparing to once again use its innate divine technique.

"Vajra Ring"

At this moment, Lu Yuanshan acted first, hurling out the Vajra Ring.

The Vajra Ring, like a small mountain, carried immense force, tearing through the void and smashing toward the Demon Ape.

After all, as a Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beast, the Purple-eyed Demon Ape sensed the imposing might carried by the Vajra Ring and had no intention of meeting it head-on.

With agility, it leapt lightly to the right, evading the Vajra Ring’s attack.

Taking this opportunity to interrupt the Purple-eyed Demon Ape’s attempt to use its innate divine technique, Lu Yuanshan pressed forward with sword in hand, rapidly channeling magical power into the Qingyin Flying Sword, commanding it to slash toward the Demon Ape.

Thus, a melee of more than ten moves ensued, with spears and flying swords constantly engaging in magical combat and countering each other in the air.

Before the massive stature of the Purple-eyed Demon Ape, Lu Yuanshan’s figure was not even the size of one of its legs.

In terms of strength, the two sides seemed to be somewhat evenly matched, and after more than ten moves, neither could gain the upper hand.

Thus, after another thirty-odd rounds of intense battle, the Purple-eyed Demon Ape’s behavior became increasingly restless, showing signs of agitation.

Lu Yuanshan attempted to use the Vermilion Bird Ring.

The Vermilion Bird Ring flew from his hand, rapidly enlarging upon receiving magical power, its diameter exceeding the size of the Purple-eyed Demon Ape, enveloping its head from above.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Demon Ape could roughly discern the artifact’s purpose and evaded by leaping aside.

With the first attempt failing to trap it, Lu Yuanshan learned from the experience that the distance between him and the Purple-eyed Demon Ape was still too far.

Once the Vermilion Bird Ring was deployed, the opponent, with its speed advantage, could evade the Ring’s attack.

To ensnare the Demon Ape, he needed to close the distance with the Purple-eyed Demon Ape, thus increasing his chances of success.

Having made up his mind, Lu Yuanshan decided to take the risk and try.

With the Purple Extreme Escape Light at hand, his agility already surpassed that of the Demon Ape.

Lu Yuanshan wasted no time, blocking the spear attack of the Demon Ape with his sword, then utilized the Purple Extreme Escape Light to soar upward in an instant.

When he reappeared, stabilizing his position, he was already on the right side of the Demon Ape, merely a zhang away from its head.

One man and one ape locked eyes, neither giving the other a pleasant expression.

Yet, seeing Lu Yuanshan suddenly approach so closely, the Demon Ape bared its teeth in bewilderment.

But Lu Yuanshan knew well what he was doing and was unwilling to waste a moment of time.

He once again activated the Vermilion Bird Ring, expanding it into a massive ring-shaped outline, aiming to enclose the nearby Purple-eyed Demon Ape from above.

Facing such a close-range assault, the Purple-eyed Demon Ape hesitated, and by the time it reacted, the Vermilion Bird Ring had hit right on target. A quick contraction ensued, and it was securely trapped.

With both arms and upper body restrained and unable to break free, the Purple-eyed Demon Ape looked furious, roaring and trying to rely on its arm muscle strength to forcibly break the hold of the Vermilion Bird Ring.

However, Lu Yuanshan had no intention of giving it that chance.

"Now."

Lu Ping’s voice, at this moment, echoed clearly in Lu Yuanshan’s mind.
