Red Reef Mountains.

Thousands of peaks connected, mountains surrounding, towering ancient trees growing lushly.

Stone Qilin, covered in blood, carried Li Guanqi on his back, cautiously walking through the mountains.

At this moment, Stone Qilin's face was pale, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings, concealing his aura as he flew through the air.

He sensed many exceptionally powerful demon beast auras within this mountain range!!

As dusk approached, the low roars of demon beasts occasionally echoed through the forest.

Suddenly!!

Stone Qilin, carrying Li Guanqi, abruptly darted under a boulder, followed by a rustling hiss in his ear.

Immediately afterward, a giant snake, over thirty zhang in length with entirely emerald green scales, appeared not far away.

The snake's head was triangular, its snake eyes were narrow vertical pupils, and its dark green pupils emitted a fluorescent glow.

Its massive body coiled around an ancient tree, slowly crushing the thick trunk.

The snake's body slowly extended, its tongue flicking, its eyes revealing a fierce light.

A terrifying miasma swirled around it, causing the trees to wither and melt wherever it passed.

Stone Qilin held his breath, his body pressed tightly against the stone wall.

His heart pounded wildly, because this giant snake was a Rank 1 Great Demon!!

Its strength was even greater than Zhao He's cultivation realm!!

The scales on its body gleamed with a metallic luster in the dim moonlight.

Hiss hiss hiss!!

Hiss hiss!!

The great snake flicked its tongue, and a strange spatial fluctuation slowly emanated.

Suddenly!!!

The great snake's eyes flashed fiercely, and its body stood up high.

Stone Qilin's heart sank, he knew that the bloody scent on their bodies had ultimately not escaped the other party's perception.

Boom!!!

Transforming into its true form, the Fire Qilin, three zhang in size, suddenly spat out a mouthful of scorching flames and turned to flee!!

Boom!!

A terrifying pillar of fire burst forth.

The great snake's eyes lit up, the dense True Dragon bloodline making it extremely excited.

As it twisted its body, the ancient tree it was coiled around exploded, and its body shot out like an arrow from a bow.

Opening its mouth, it spat out a cloud of poisonous mist that collided with the flames.

Boom!!!

The earth trembled, a violent roar resounded, and bursts of fire illuminated the night like daylight.

The Fire Qilin glanced back at the approaching great snake and thought to himself that things were not good.

The poisonous miasma turned hundreds of zhang of ancient trees beside it into ashes.

The terrifying poisonous gas spread, leaving nothing but barren land in its wake.

The great snake flew over, relentlessly pursuing.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles above the Red Reef Mountains.

A line of black-armored soldiers suddenly turned their heads, exchanged glances, and said in a deep voice.

"It's over there!"

On the chest of several people's black armor were engraved two inconspicuous words, 'Tian Shu'!

Rumble!!!

Within the Red Reef Mountains, both high and low-level demon beasts were scattering and fleeing.

Great demons that had entered the ranks were all overlords of the mountains.

And the place where Stone Qilin and the others were was precisely the territory of this Emerald Shadow Black Snake!

The great snake was enormous, its wriggling speed was extremely fast, like a wild bull ramming into a mountain, creating tremendous movements!

Beneath the smoke and dust, Stone Qilin moved swiftly, transforming into a streak of fire rushing away.

But at this moment, Stone Qilin was already nearing his limit.

"Could it be that I'm going to die here today!!"

Stone Qilin clenched his teeth, he never expected that ascension would be like this.

The imagined image of the Immortal Realm no longer existed...

What replaced it was more like the Beast Spirit Realm, a world of the survival of the fittest.

In the distance, more than a dozen extremely terrifying auras gradually approached, clearly the experts sent from the Ascension Platform.

Gradually, Stone Qilin felt his consciousness becoming somewhat blurred.

The remaining Yuan Power within his body was dwindling, and he was unable to replenish it.

However, at this moment, Stone Qilin noticed that the surrounding environment was gradually changing.

The surrounding ancient trees were covered with tough vines, and the ground was littered with the withered bones of great demons.

Pairs of bright eyes were hidden in the dark, with the auras of many Rank 6 and 7 demon beasts.

Moreover, in his perception, there was also a very obscure aura that seemed to be dormant.

Stone Qilin seemed to have thought of something, and looked back at the seriously injured Li Guanqi.

He violently tore open his chest with his claws, and light golden blood spurted out.

Stone Qilin roared to the sky, scattering his essence blood into the darkness!!

Ooooo! Aoooo! Aoooo!!

Oooo! Oooo!!

One by one, giant apes with entirely black fur darted out from the darkness, their scarlet eyes fixed on Stone Qilin.

They rushed towards the essence blood that was scattered in mid-air.

However, just as they were about to grab the essence blood, a cloud of poisonous miasma swept across the air!!

More than a dozen giant apes instantly died violently.

"Aowoo!! Ooooo aooo!!"

A shrill scream rang out, and the Emerald Shadow Black Snake opened its mouth wide, sucking all the essence blood into its mouth.

Its eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a very enjoyable expression.

But immediately afterward, the great snake's eyes and vertical pupils suddenly constricted!!

Suddenly!

A terrifying roar that shook the mountains echoed through the clouds!!

From a high mountain in the distance, a towering figure as majestic as a mountain passed through the clouds and jumped down!

Under the moonlight, the black shadow was finally visible.

It was a giant ape with entirely black fur, its back hair silvery-white.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, it emitted a faint silvery-white glow.

The giant ape had scarlet eyes, its towering muscles were like a small mountain, and its upright height was over seventy zhang!

Stone Qilin's pupils shrank sharply, and he murmured.

"The legendary Silverback Demon Ape!!"

Boom!!!

The giant ape landed, and hundreds of zhang of land around it were instantly leveled.

The terrifying shockwave destroyed everything around it like a sea wave!!

Boom!!!

The giant ape turned into a black shadow, completely ignoring the Fire Qilin that Stone Qilin had transformed into.

Passing Stone Qilin, the giant ape's large hand grabbed the Emerald Shadow Black Snake's neck and flung it out!!!!

Bang!!! Dong! Rumble!!!

The Emerald Shadow Black Snake's body shattered several mountain peaks before barely stopping!!

The two great demons that had entered the ranks faced each other hundreds of zhang apart.

The Silverback Giant Ape's eyes flashed fiercely, and it reached out and picked up the body of the giant ape that had been killed earlier from the ground.

Its scarlet eyes flashed with cold killing intent, and it actually spoke human words, its deep voice slowly rising.

"Emerald Shadow! You're courting death!!"

"Killing my clansmen, trespassing on my territory, do you think I really wouldn't dare to kill you!!"

As soon as the words fell, the Silverback Giant Ape jumped up without saying a word!

Seeing this, the Emerald Shadow Black Snake felt something was wrong and quickly transformed into human form.

A tall, fair-skinned man appeared on the mountain peak.

The man wore an emerald green shirt, his long hair fluttered, he had single eyelids, high cheekbones, and his pupils were emerald green vertical pupils.

The Emerald Shadow Black Snake transformed into human form and shouted.

"Silverback!! I didn't intentionally trespass on your territory, it was that Fire Qilin!!"

At this time, the Silverback Giant Ape did not listen to the Emerald Shadow Black Snake's explanation at all, and its fist like a small mountain slammed down!

Rumble!!

A mountain peak was instantly shattered by the powerful force.

Boom!!!

The giant ape's voice came out again.

"Enough nonsense, you've coveted the spirit grass I guard for over a thousand years, I know what you're thinking!"

"Just a mere Ascension Realm Fire Qilin, not worth you risking stepping into my territory!"
