Ye Haochuan, invisible, infiltrated a prison courtyard but couldn't find Long Keyue. He headed to a larger estate where cultivators were held, but his presence was detected by Demon Beasts. His use of a treasure order to suppress them inadvertently revealed his location to stronger demons, forcing him to abandon invisibility and fight. Despite being outnumbered, Ye Haochuan's battle intent surged, and with his Halberd of Heaven and Earth, he decimated several powerful beasts. He then attempted to escape but sensed a new, immense danger approaching.

"Immortal Transformation Peak?" Ye Haochuan’s heart was struck with terror as he hastily turned to look.

Before his eyes, a colossal ape, mountains in stature, materialized. Niu Kui was but a mere speck in comparison.

A Blood Pupil Demon Ape at Immortal Transformation Peak? What abysmal luck must I have?

The instant Ye Haochuan identified the species of this monstrous beast, the flicker of hope that had just ignited within him was completely extinguished.

Having recently familiarized himself with demon beast lore in preparation for his imminent journey into Mushan County, a region teeming with these creatures, Ye Haochuan was acutely aware of the formidable power possessed by the Blood Pupil Demon Ape.

This particular breed of ape-like demon beast consistently ranked among the most potent of its cultivation level, attributed to their extraordinary innate strength.

The Blood Pupil Demon Ape, standing as an exemplar among its kind, was undoubtedly the apex predator of same-level demon beasts and had even proven victorious in battles against stronger opponents.

For Ye Haochuan, who had only just ascended to the Immortal Transformation stage, confronting such a gargantuan creature was an impossibility.

Consequently, upon the appearance of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, Ye Haochuan's immediate instinct was to flee.

However, the Rainbow Thunder Mink, seemingly anticipating Ye Haochuan’s intent, surged forward the moment the Blood Pupil Demon Ape revealed itself, swiftly blocking Ye Haochuan's only path of escape with its incredible speed.

It was undeniably a dire predicament.

Furthermore, Ye Haochuan recognized that any delay would only exacerbate his perilous situation.

Beyond the possibility of other demon beasts being drawn by the commotion, any beings below the Early Stage of Immortal Transformation would soon regain their full strength once the spiritual energy bestowed by the Communicating with God Treasure Order depleted.

At that point, completely surrounded by demon beasts, his chances of escape would dwindle to nothing.

Damn it all! Even if I am to perish, it shall be in a desperate, fighting retreat!

The more dire the circumstances, the more Ye Haochuan seemed to gain a profound sense of calm.

Upon choosing to venture into the Immortal Realm, he had fully contemplated the likelihood of meeting a tragic end.

But so what? He had embarked on this path with an unshakeable will.

Having chosen this course, there would be no regrets, even if it led to his demise!

With such thoughts fueling his resolve, a magnificent sense of grandeur inexplicably bloomed in Ye Haochuan's heart.

"Bring it on!"

Ye Haochuan leveled his Halberd of Heaven and Earth with fierce determination at the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, his voice ringing out with unyielding vigor!

Bang bang~ roar~

As if provoked, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape struck its chest twice in succession and unleashed a furious roar directly at Ye Haochuan.

Abruptly, a wave of chilling, bloody Gang Wind surged forward, emanating a bone-piercing coldness.

Ye Haochuan displayed no trace of fear, gripping his halberd firmly in one hand and advancing swiftly with his Wind Step technique, leaving a mere afterimage in his wake.

Woo~

The Blood Pupil Demon Ape’s fist, akin to a falling meteor, hurtled downwards with a powerful gust of wind.

Having foreseen the demon ape’s assault, Ye Haochuan executed a rapid two-step retreat just as its fist swung down, narrowly evading the devastating blow.

The sheer force behind the Blood Pupil Demon Ape’s punch slammed into the ground, creating a powerful tremor.

Seizing this opportune moment, Ye Haochuan deftly maneuvered his Halberd of Heaven and Earth, hooking the Crescent Blade Edge onto the Blood Pupil Demon Ape’s knuckles.

Utilizing the leverage point, Ye Haochuan propelled himself forward, rapidly ascending the Blood Pupil Demon Ape’s massive arm.

Against the demon ape’s immense physique, Ye Haochuan, positioned on its arm, was as insignificant as an ant attempting to scale a sapling.

Just as Ye Haochuan reached the demon ape’s wrist, it angrily retaliated by attempting to seize him with its other hand.

Ye Haochuan reacted with incredible speed, accelerating to dodge the colossal hand hurtling towards him, miraculously eluding its grasp.

"Ha!"

With a surge of power, Ye Haochuan launched himself upwards, thrusting his Halberd of Heaven and Earth forward with swift precision.

"Roar~"

An agile Azure Dragon erupted from the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, hurtling directly towards one of the demon ape’s Blood Pupils.

The demon ape, caught completely unaware, instinctively shut its eyes and tilted its head.

Bam~

The Azure Dragon struck true, connecting with the demon ape’s left cheek and tearing away a significant portion of flesh, leaving a horrifyingly gruesome and bloody wound.

"Roar~"

Whether due to the excruciating pain or the disfigurement of its visage, the demon ape bellowed in rage, clutching its wounded face with one hand while futilely reaching for Ye Haochuan with the other.

Damn it, such resilient skin! This is the first time I’ve ever encountered anything like it!

Ye Haochuan cursed silently.

The Azure Dragon conjured by the Halberd of Heaven and Earth was, without question, one of his most potent abilities.

To have such a powerful strike, aimed at the face’s most vulnerable point, merely tear away flesh without inflicting significant injury was incredibly disheartening.

Whish whish~

The demon ape’s enormous hand lunged aggressively towards Ye Haochuan, who, suspended in mid-air, found himself with no stable footing.

"Nine-Tailed Sword Qi!"

In a moment of dire need, Ye Haochuan brought forth the Nine-Tailed Phantom.

Swish swish swish~

Instantly, nine Tail Swords erupted, three deviating to parry the demon ape’s palm strike, while the remaining six aimed for the creature’s vulnerable points.

The demon ape, with no defense against the aerial assault, used one hand to shield its face and the other to lunge for Ye Haochuan.

Swoosh swoosh~

Six Tail Swords plunged unimpeded into the demon ape’s flesh.

To Ye Haochuan's profound disappointment, the ordinarily razor-sharp Tail Swords only penetrated two inches deep into the massive beast.

While two inches might signify a grievous wound on a human, for a creature of the demon ape’s colossal size, this depth barely scratched the surface, equivalent to a mere needle prick.

Concurrently, the three Tail Swords intended to block the demon ape’s palm met its hand.

However, these blades failed to halt the ape’s offensive, shattering instantly upon contact with its palm.

The demon ape’s relentless palm then captured the Nine-Tailed Phantom.

"Roar~"

The Nine-Tailed Phantom let out a piercing shriek, clearly suffering a devastating blow.

Within moments, amidst its mournful cries, the Nine-Tailed Phantom disintegrated into nothingness.

Pfft~

Ye Haochuan experienced a violent backlash, spewing a mouthful of blood, his aura destabilizing.

Before he could recover, the demon ape's enormous hand descended, snatching him up as if he were a mere plaything.

"Roar~"

The Blood Pupil Demon Ape brought its gargantuan face close to Ye Haochuan’s, roaring with palpable fury.

Amidst the overwhelming reek, a turbulent wave of Flower Energy also washed over him.

Hit by this potent Flower Energy, Ye Haochuan's injuries worsened; his internal organs felt displaced, and his mind reeled in disorientation.

Ye Haochuan fought to maintain consciousness, his mind racing frantically to devise an escape.

Even in this dire state, he refused to surrender.

He had no desire to meet his end; too many crucial tasks remained incomplete!

Yet, despite his most strenuous mental efforts, no viable method to counter the Blood Pupil Demon Ape emerged.

The chasm in power between the Early and Peak stages of Immortal Transformation was simply too vast; his earlier feat of barely wounding the ape’s cheek was already a miracle. Escaping this monstrous foe now seemed an impossible fantasy.

Having vented its rage in a roar, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape grew impatient, unwilling to grant Ye Haochuan another second of life, and intensified the crushing force of its massive hand...
