The Great Wild God - Chapter 447

Chapter 447 Unfathomable Emperor’s Heart

Chen Xun stood on a large piece of protruding lava and kicked the broken halberd into the boiling magma. The broken halberd made of profound iron was melted into a golden red color in the blink of an eye and gradually sank into the ground.

Chen Xun turned his head to look at Jiang Yunxian and asked, “How long can Imperial Daughter last if she is unfortunately knocked down by the magma?”

Jiang Yunxian remained silent as she stretched out her delicate hand that was as tender as white jade, wrapped in a ball of azure profound light and stretched into the blazing magma.

Although the azure profound light protected her hand from the slightest damage from the magma, the magic power in her body surged out like a torrent. After the dark feeling entered the depths of the crypt, if she was really unlucky enough to be knocked down by the magma, with her cultivation, she would be able to last for more than ten breaths of time.

Although she would not be suppressed in the magma for a long time and would not be able to escape, in the extremely narrow cavern, they had no chance of winning a fierce battle with the Flamewing Monster Ape.

“Are you sure that Lord Crimson Brow and Jiang Bin’s methods are not feasible?” Daoist Wu Yi, who was squatting beside the Heavenly Fire River, asked. He had rushed to the underground cave after Jiang Yunxian to meet Chen Xun.

“Perhaps Lord Crimson Brow didn’t tell me their methods, but based on my understanding of their temperament, it’s unlikely that they would sneak into the depths of the cave with their bodies. It’s more likely that they would find a way to force the demonic apes out of the ground and surround them,” Chen Xun said. “But if they want to force the demonic apes out of the ground, there shouldn’t be too many methods, right?”

“Judging from the materials they have gathered during this period of time, Lord Crimson Brow may be refining a large number of Earth-shaking Talismans.” Daoist Wu Yi said.

“It’s no different from what I guessed.” Chen Xun sighed emotionally.

The Earth Shaking Technique was a technique that could be cultivated by a Heavenly Yuan Realm cultivator. It was extremely powerful and consumed a tremendous amount of mana.

With Chen Xun and Adept Wu Yi’s cultivation, they didn’t need to use Earth-shaking Techniques many times in a row. They would usually prepare or exchange a few Earth-shaking Talismans for them in case of an emergency.

As a Celestial Realm expert, the Earth-shaking Talisman that Lord Crimson Brow had created was definitely not something that ordinary street goods could compare to. Daoist Wu Yi said that he had reached the Dao Talisman’s standard, so it was not an exaggeration at all.

Only Earth-shaking Talismans that met the standards of Dao Talismans, to destroy the entire Heavenly Volcano, Only then would it be possible to charge into the Heavenly Fire River, which was nearly 10,000 feet deep underground, and force the Fire Winged Demonic Ape out of the ground. However, what kind of chain reaction would it induce was not something Chen Xun and the others could predict at this moment. Whether or not there would be a stronger demon lurking in the depths of the Heavenly Volcano was not something Chen Xun and the others could predict at this moment.

Chen Xun had thought that Jiang Yunxian was the only one who wanted to capture this Fire Winged Demonic Ape, but seeing Adept Wu Yi rushing over, he knew that True Monarch Pinecrane and Su Junchen had the same intentions.

The deeper factor behind this was the imperial inheritance.

Chen Xun pondered for a while before feeling the need to speak clearly. He asked Daoist Wu Yi, “True Monarch Pinecrane wants to stay in the castle to guard it. When will Marquis Su arrive?”

Jiang Yunxian’s mansion was not as deep as Daoist Wu Yi’s. He asked in surprise, “How did you guess that Su Junchen would also enter the cave with us?”

Chen Xun smiled and said, “Brother Wu Yi won’t let Imperial Daughter risk your life so easily. As for King of Qing, if he can subdue this Fire Winged Demon Wing, it would be too helpful …”

Seeing that Chen Xun’s thoughts were really clear, Daoist Wu Yi signaled for Princess Yanling to take a break. There were some things that he could talk about with Chen Xun alone, so it would be more appropriate.

Jiang Yunxian curled her lips and flew deeper into the crypt.

“Emperor Xi, are you going to decide on your successor soon?” Chen Xun asked.

“Emperor’s heart is hard to predict. It’s not something we can guess who Emperor Xi Wu wants to rule Cloud Continent,” Daoist Wu Yi said. “Logically speaking, there is a possibility that all the Prefecture Monarchs, Kings, and many other Marquises will be chosen by Emperor Xi Wu …”

Chen Xun smiled faintly and cut off Adept Wu Yi’s words, saying, “After all, Emperor Xi will only hand over Cloud Continent to those who have the ability to do so.” “Of the five Manor Lords, Chun Ling Prefecture and Jiang Manor Master are from Jiang. However, Jiang Manor Master is already old. He might be able to comprehend the Grand Dao and ascend to Nirvana, so he should have no intention of competing for the throne. As for Chun Ling Jun, he is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is directly in charge of the Spirit Heaven Army elite in the Ce Manor. If he doesn’t have such thoughts, no one will believe him.”

“True Master Chen’s thoughts are really thorough.” Daoist Wu Yi sighed emotionally.

“The Spring Mausoleum Prefecture called me into Xuanjing, and there was hidden killing intent everywhere. I didn’t dare to accidentally deal with it,” Chen Xun said. “In the early years, the Yuanwu Marquis Manor tried its best to rope in Lord Crimson Brow. Perhaps there was a hint of delusion, but after the battle at the Old Dragon Lake, they should be more intent on tu Mountain, the Southern Mountain Ridge, fixing Mountain Ridge. King of Qing is close to me, so he will definitely call me Lord Crimson Brow. The Marquis of Yuanwu Manor is unhappy in his heart. From the looks of it, Lord Crimson Brow and the Marquis of Yuanwu Manor must have long been in love with each other and cannot be used by King of Qing anymore … ”

Daoist Wu Yi nodded his head. He thought that Chen Xun had thought through many things thoroughly. He took the initiative to make his words clear to this extent, so there was no need to hide anything further. He said, “At this moment, there are indeed more voices supporting Chun Lingjun. I believe Daoist Chen also understands that if Chun Lingjun really wants to inherit the throne, it will definitely not be beneficial to Mountain Parasol.”

“Not only is it disadvantageous, it’s simply harmful,” Chen Xun said with a naked smile. “If True Monarch Pinecrane was the only Celestial on King of Qing’s side, it would probably be difficult to determine the situation in Cloud Continent, right?”

“That Fire Winged Monster Ape can’t be captured by Lord Crimson Brow!” Daoist Wu Yi said.

Spring Mausoleum Monarch had a mid Celestial Realm cultivation base, and the 36 Divine Generals who supported him behind him were definitely not a small number of descendants of the aristocratic clans.

Spring Mausoleum Monarch Yu Long Shan’s defeat was originally a good opportunity for King of Qing to reverse its disadvantage. However, both the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty and Lord Crimson Brow were lured over by Spring Mausoleum Monarch, and the situation was even more unfavorable for King of Qing.

True Monarch Pinecrane and Su Junchen probably didn’t want to see this Flamewing Monster Ape subdued by Lord Crimson Brow, right?

Chen Xun smiled in his heart. Let alone True Monarch Pinecrane, Su Junchen was unwilling, and he was also unwilling.

********************

At present, everyone was eating in the same pot. Even if Su Junchen and True Monarch Pinecrane didn’t want the Fire-Winged Demonic Ape captured by Lord Crimson Brow, they still couldn’t openly destroy it. Even True Monarch Pinecrane had to stay in the castle ten thousand kilometers away to guard it. They couldn’t personally rush over and interfere.

The best way was for them to capture and kill that demonic ape first. Naturally, it would make Lord Crimson Brow’s extravagant dreams come to naught.

Chen Xun was in charge of sealing the underground cave that the fire ape had entered and exited, which provided Su Junchen and the others with tremendous convenience.

After Chen Xun and Adept Wu Yi had agreed, Su Junchen quickly brought twelve Adepts of Origin Core and quietly entered the underground cave to meet them.

The space in the crypt was small, and the Profound Spill Formation was greatly limited.

Beneath the crypt was boiling magma. Once the Profound Evolution Grand Formation was torn apart and the low-level Armored Soldiers landed in the Heavenly Fire River, there was no chance of surviving.

Chen Xun had Su Wuyang lead his soldiers to defend the underground cave. The Golden Wolf and Shewuxin also stayed behind. Only Beixuan Jia, Chi Hai, and Black Tea followed Su Junchen and Adept Wu Yi into the depths of the cave to search for the hiding place of the Fire Winged Demonic Ape and the group of fire apes.

The crypt was located in the depths of the Heavenly Volcano. The terrain was extremely complicated, and it was filled with boiling magma. The divine sense could not extend too far, and there was hidden killing intent everywhere. It was not conducive to split up the search.

Fortunately, they had killed nearly two hundred Crimson Scaled Fire Apes earlier. Chen Xun chose over thirty complete corpses of the Fire Ape and refined them into puppets. He then drove these Fire Ape puppets to search through the cobweb-dense caverns on both sides.

Two days later, Chen Xun discovered traces of a large group of fire apes moving through the fire ape puppets.

The boiling magma and the dense Heavenly Flame Dipper Fiend were not good for Chen Xun and the others to extend their divine sense to search for the underground caves, but they were also good for them to conceal their aura at the same time.

After being tracked by Chen Xun to his hiding place, the Fire Winged Monster Ape didn’t notice in advance.

Perhaps this demonic ape had never expected that a human cultivator would dare to go deep into the crypt to search for its hiding place.

It was an extremely wide underground cave. There were caves that stretched out in all directions. The stone walls were filled with grottoes dug out. It should be the nest where many fire apes lived.

In the center of the underground cave, there was a huge altar that had been piled up with a huge crimson-brown cliff. Like a human cultivator, the Fire-Winged Monster Ape sat cross-legged on the stone altar and cultivated, its entire body shining with golden light.

This was an abnormality that only demons with golden bodies would have.

This demonic ape’s cultivation was even higher than the previous fierce battle.

Chen Xun thought that this demonic ape had suffered heavy injuries. It had only been so peaceful during this period of time. He didn’t expect that the last fierce battle had actually caused this demonic ape to break through a bottleneck.

Endless Heavenly Flame Essence rose from the boiling magma beneath the stone altar. It was like a fiery red mist that enveloped the Flamewing Monster Ape’s entire body.

Chen Xun, Su Junchen, and Adept Wu Yi entered the underground cave. The demonic ape opened its demonic pupils, and its eyes emitted golden flames. It reached out and grabbed the stone rod that was inserted into the giant altar. With an extremely strange voice, it shouted, “The humans are truly hateful. Did they run over to their deaths?”

When he saw Jiang Yunxian and the other 12 Origin Pill Taoist enter the underground cave, the demonic ape’s expression changed.

Su Junchen had already reached the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm and formed a Mountain River Battle Formation with twelve Origin Pill Taoist. His strength was close to the middle Heavenly Human Realm. How could he not make the demonic ape’s heart skip a beat?

Without allowing the demonic ape to make any movements, Su Junyuan immediately tossed out eight spirit banners, transforming into eight flowing shadows and inserting them into the stone wall.

At this moment, Chen Xun had an illusion that space was frozen.

“The Spatial Locking Array can only last for one incense stick of time. I’ll deal with this demonic ape. You guys block the other fire apes, don’t let them charge over!”

The formation set up by the eight spirit banners was actually able to temporarily lock down space. It was truly a sharp weapon for pursuing and killing.

Otherwise, if the Fire Winged Monster Ape saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, it would probably have to pay an extremely heavy price if it wanted to block its path of retreat with just these few people.

Although the Spatial Lock Formation could only last for one incense stick of time, looking at the Mountain River Battle Formation formed by Su Junchen and the Twelve Origin Pill Taoist, its aura was ten times stronger than Jiang Bin, Yunhe, and the others. Chen Xun felt that Su Junyuan, as the strongest expert in Su of Yuzhou State, had two brushes in his hand. It was not something he could surpass for the time being.

The Fire-Winged Demonic Ape also realized that the escape space was locked. Its expression became serious. The golden light from its demonic pupils was like two golden pillars falling on a scarlet flint rod in the hands of the Scaled Palm. It waved its finger at Su Junyuan and slashed at him angrily.

“Roar!” Behind Su Junyuan, a giant flood dragon struggled out. The golden flood dragon scales flickered with golden light, making people suspect that it was really a divine flood dragon that appeared in the underground cave. It opened its teeth and danced its claws, ferociously pouncing towards the demonic ape.
