Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chapter 240 Ambush and Killing



In the depths of the Huanyue Mountains, the thousand-foot peaks that rise from the ground reach the sky. In front of these towering peaks, any living creature seems insignificant.

At the foot of one of the thousand-foot peaks, there is a gentle hilly valley with dense forests and towering ancient trees. Under the mountain breeze, the forest sea is rolling and the green waves are surging.

Chen Yuan, wearing a Luoyan veil, stood on the top of a tree more than ten feet high. He habitually hid his figure between the branches and stared at a valley more than four hundred feet in front of him without blinking.

Twelve days ago, he left the market and entered the depths of the Huanyue Mountains. He climbed over two thousand-foot peaks, put on Luoyan veil, and walked here step by step. He stayed here for nine days.

That inconspicuous valley is where the white ape lives. In the past nine days, Chen Yuan has been monitoring the valley day and night, but he has never seen the figure of the white ape.

He knew that the white ape was still in the valley. The jade in his left hand was emitting a strong red light and turned completely red.

If he hadn't been wearing the thousand-year-old ice silk gloves, he would have definitely felt the hot temperature on the surface of the jade.

The valley was within the coverage of his spiritual sense, but he didn't dare to release his spiritual sense. He could only rely on the jade to determine whether the white ape was still in the valley.

It was early morning, the sun was rising, and the mountains and forests were filled with light mist. The sunlight passed through the mist and turned into colorful rainbow light. The edge of the beam was a little blurred, and there was a hint of illusion in the splendor.

It was quiet all around, and occasionally a small animal passed through the bushes, rubbing its body against the grass leaves, making a slight rustling sound.

Chen Yuan blinked gently, and he finally felt a little tired.

For the past nine days, he had done nothing, but his spirit was always tense, even more nervous than when he was refining the elixir, for fear that the white ape would detect his tracks.

He was no match for the white ape at all. If he was discovered by the white ape, he could only flee far away.

Although he had relied on Luo Yansha to escape from the white ape, Luo Yansha was only a top-grade spiritual weapon after all. However, Chen Yuan, who was cautious by nature, did not dare to pin all his hopes on Luo Yansha.

He could only stay far away here, relying on the sensing power of Yujue, patiently waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity for the white ape to go out.

In a head-on confrontation, he was no match for the white ape at all. He could only wait for the white ape to go out, sneak into the valley, set up a formation, and wait for the white ape to return, and use the power of the formation to kill it. This was the only feasible way.

Monsters are different from cultivators. Cultivators only need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve their cultivation. A retreat often takes several years.

But the speed of monsters simply absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and tempering their monster bodies is too slow. If they want to speed up, they must hunt other monsters, devour their monster pills and blood, and strengthen their monster bodies.

The white ape is so powerful and invincible at the same level that it will definitely not simply absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen its monster body.

But Chen Yuan didn't know how often it hunted monsters. Maybe it would leave the valley in the next moment, or maybe it would leave the valley in two months. The only thing Chen Yuan could do was to wait patiently.

Three more days passed in such a boring day. Chen Yuan still had no annoyance. In the dark night, he stared at the entrance of the valley in the distance.

Suddenly, the jade in Chen Yuan's left hand trembled slightly. He looked down and saw that the red light emitted by the jade was slowly dimming.

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he stepped down from the top of the tree and walked forward step by step.

Wearing Luo Yansha, he could not fly or perform light body skills, and could only walk like an ordinary person.

Chen Yuan had just walked out of more than ten feet, and the red light on the jade faded away, and it returned to its original appearance.

This was a sign that there was no true spirit bloodline within a thousand miles. The white ape left the valley.

Chen Yuan tore off the Luo Yansha, drove the escape light, and flew to the valley.

He didn't know when the white ape would come back, so he had to seize this hard-won opportunity and set up the formation as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan had previously killed all the monkeys and monsters outside the valley. Without monsters guarding, he could enter the valley unimpeded.

Compared with three months ago, the valley has become much more dilapidated, and traces of the battle between Chen Yuan and the white ape can be seen everywhere. The mountain walls have collapsed, the grass and trees are sparse, the ground is charred, and the gravel is everywhere.

The white ape obviously has no intention of clearing the valley, but as long as there is a spiritual vein, it will not leave here, which also gives Chen Yuan the opportunity to ambush it.

Chen Yuan looked serious, stroked the storage bag, took out the 24 meteorite formation flags, waved his sleeves, and the formation flags flew out and stuck in the ground, surrounding the entire valley.

Then he took out the formation plate of the meteorite formation and twelve earth-attributed medium-grade spirit stones, put the spirit stones into the grooves on the formation plate, raised his hand and injected true essence into the formation plate.

The array plate lit up with a light yellow light, and then split into 24 yellow light threads, connecting all 24 array flags.

The 24 array flags glowed slightly, gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared into the air.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The meteorite array had been set up. Even if the white ape rushed back to the valley now, he would have the strength to fight.

But this was not enough. He took out the array flags of the earth fire array and the wood fort array, inserted the array flags around the valley, and embedded the fire attribute and wood attribute medium-grade spirit stones on the array plate respectively, activated the array, and hid the array flags.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly. The three arrays were activated at the same time. Even if the white ape's strength was comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, it would be a dead end.

After setting up the array, he quickly walked into the cave in the deepest part of the valley and found the silver sword and blue flying sword taken away by the white ape.

These two top-grade spiritual tools, like the things Chen Yuan had taken from the cave before, were piled up in the corner of the cave, with dim light.

Although the white ape could use strange white flames to wipe out the consciousness left by Chen Yuan in the spiritual tools, he was still a fourth-level demon beast after all. Before the demon pill transformed, he could not use the spiritual tools. The things he took from the cultivators were all placed in the cave.

The two top-grade spiritual tools that Chen Yuan asked Lin Hao to pass on to Sun Congyao and Shen Danmei were taken from here.

The quality of the two top-grade spiritual tools was average, similar to the blue flying sword, and they were not very useful to Chen Yuan. He simply gave them to the two before leaving Lingyun Sect, which was also a way to repay the care of the two senior brothers and sisters.

Chen Yuan picked up the silver sword and the blue flying sword, injected a trace of true essence, and found that the spiritual imprint he left behind had been completely erased. He had to re-refine and nourish them before he could use them in the battle. This time, he could not count on them to fight the white ape.

He shook his head, put the two top-grade spiritual tools back to their original places, and walked out of the cave.

Chen Yuan looked around, came to a corner, took out Luo Yansha, put it on his body, and slowly hid his figure. The valley became dead silent again.

Time passed slowly, the moon set, the sun rose, the mist in the mountains and forests was dispelled by the bright and warm sunlight, the trees were green and dripping, the breeze blew, the grass leaves rolled with crystal dew, the chirping of birds spread, and the Huanyue Mountains, which had been sleeping for a night, woke up again.

The white ape with scarlet blood on its mouth climbed down from a thousand-foot high peak and ran between the mountains and forests.

After it left the valley last night, it hunted a level 5 monster beast and devoured its monster pill and flesh, and its monster body was strengthened a little bit.

This is a Zhenshan bear, with strong blood, infinite strength, and proficient in two innate magical powers, but in front of the white ape, it has no power to resist.

It didn't even use the strange white flame, and just relied on its huge strength to beat it to death.

In the Huanyue Mountains, no level 5 monster can match the white ape, and only a few level 6 monsters can suppress the white ape, but it can also escape unscathed.

From the birth of spiritual intelligence, the white ape knew that it was different.

Its bloodline is far more powerful than other monsters, and even just a trace of breath can make other monsters tremble with fear.

In just over 20 years, it has hunted hundreds of monsters, growing from a low-level level 1 monster to a level 4 monster, and has never encountered any bottlenecks.

Not only that, those human monks who came from outside the mountain were also slaughtered by it one by one, and no one could leave alive after seeing it.

For some reason, the white ape always has a violent impulse in his heart, wanting to tear apart all the creatures he sees, and killing seems to be his innate desire.

But as the level increases, the white ape slowly becomes more and more rational.

Although the impulse of violence still surges from time to time in its heart, most of the time, it can control this impulse very well, and is much smarter and more shrewd than the monsters of the same level.

It gathered a group of ape monsters to guard the valley, and took the initiative to hunt human monks who entered the Huanyue Mountains, forcing them to open their storage bags before they died and use elixirs and spirit stones to practice, which greatly increased the speed of condensing demonic power.

In a few years, its demon pill will be able to usher in a transformation and become a level 5 demon beast in the mouth of human monks.

But it was also from the mouths of those human monks who begged for mercy that the white ape knew that the outside world was the world of human monks, and there were Yuanying monks comparable to level 8 demon beasts. The demon beasts were just prey for human monks, providing demon pills and demon beast materials for human monks.

The white ape would not be angry about the death of other demon beasts. Few monks killed more demon beasts than it, but it did not want to be killed by high-level monks.

So it couldn't leave the Huanyue Mountains. Only when it was strong enough could it hunt those weak human monks recklessly.

Yes, in the eyes of the white ape, human monks were very weak and couldn't even hurt it, until three months ago, it met that human monk.

This person was the only human monk who escaped alive after seeing it, and he also caused him to suffer serious injuries. It took a full month of recuperation before he recovered.

This person also killed all the ape monsters it had collected. It didn't have time to collect new subordinates. Two months ago, two stupid low-level monsters broke into the valley, and it had to deal with them personally.

All of this made the white ape extremely angry, and he remembered the breath of this human monk deeply in his heart.

It has never been so embarrassed before. One day, it will definitely find this human monk and eat him alive!

With deep hatred, the white ape practiced more diligently, even against the nature of the monster, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth day and night, transforming it into monster power, and tempering the monster pill and monster body.

After it was born with intelligence, it inherited the method of cultivation from its bloodline, as well as the innate magical power of white flame, and its efficiency in transforming spiritual energy into monster power was far better than that of monsters of the same level.

Ordinary level 4 monsters only need to hunt two or three monsters of the same level a year to strengthen their monster bodies.

But the white ape needs to hunt at least twenty monsters of the same level, or four or five level 5 monsters a year, to maintain the speed of practice.

Whenever the body stagnates, it will leave the valley, hunt monsters, devour their monster pills, blood and flesh, and then return to the valley to continue practicing.

This earth-shaking bear is enough to support the white ape's practice for at least two months, and then hunt four level 5 monsters, and its monster pill can complete the transformation and advance to level 5 monsters.

The white ape stuck out its tongue, licked the blood on the side of its mouth, narrowed its eyes, and showed a comfortable expression like a human monk, and rushed back to the valley.

It jumped down from the mountain wall on the left, landed lightly in the valley, and walked towards the cave.

Suddenly, the white ape stopped and sniffed, with a hint of doubt in its eyes.

It seemed to smell a familiar breath, but couldn't remember where it came from.

Suddenly, it opened its eyes wide and finally remembered the source of the breath. It was the breath of that human monk!

At this moment, Chen Yuan's figure suddenly emerged from the corner of the valley, holding the meteorite array disk in his left hand, and pointing his right hand at one point, injecting true energy into the array disk frantically, and shouting: "Get up!"

The array disk shone brightly, and the twenty-four hidden array flags reappeared around the valley, emitting a light yellow light, condensing into a layer of light curtain, and quickly spread upwards, trying to cover the entire valley.

Seeing that Chen Yuan dared to come back, the white ape felt a violent desire from the bottom of his heart. He ignored the meteorite array that was about to take shape, roared, and rushed towards Chen Yuan.

It wanted to tear Chen Yuan into pieces!

Chen Yuan was not afraid at all. He threw the meteorite array disk into the sky. His body suddenly grew to eight feet high, his muscles bulged, and he was bronze-colored. He rushed forward.

The white ape saw that this human monk dared to fight with him in close combat. He felt that he was seriously provoked and became even more angry. He threw a punch with all his strength.

Chen Yuan also punched out. The man and the ape collided with each other. The white ape only took two steps back, but Chen Yuan flew backwards and smashed heavily into the mountain wall. The rubble exploded, and the broken valley added another scar.

Although the white ape was only a fourth-level monster, its monster body was comparable to that of a sixth-level monster, and Chen Yuan was far inferior.

The white ape excitedly beat his chest with both hands, roared, and rushed forward again.

But Chen Yuan quickly flew out of the mountain wall, looking at the white ape with a look of sarcasm, and shouted: "Fall!"

Just as the white ape rushed forward, a yellow boulder about ten feet in size fell from the sky and hit the white ape heavily.

When Chen Yuan blocked the white ape's punch, the meteorite formation had already been fully formed!

The yellow boulder had a long tail flame and was very fast. The white ape had to stop and raise his hands to block it in front of him.

Bang!

The boulder hit the white ape and exploded. The white ape retreated three feet, but just shook its head.

It roared and rushed towards Chen Yuan again, but at this moment, two more yellow boulders about ten feet in size, with long tail flames, fell from the sky!
