C1064 The Weakened Version of the Sky Splitting Ape
4"Ang..."
There was movement indeed!
Ye Bufan was shocked and quickly retreated because he saw that after he was fifteen meters away from the statue, there was a change in the statue.
Large pieces of stone skin fell from the statue's body, and the entire statue kept shaking, like a chick that was about to come out of its shell.
"It can't really become alive, right?" Ye Bufan felt a wave of fear and trepidation.
After all, the fierce name of the Sky Splitting Ape wasn't just for fun, it was really very fierce.
If the statue in front of him turned into a living Sky Splitting Ape, then he could only choose to run away.
Ye Bufan had already retreated more than fifty meters, but once he was touched, the transformation of the statue would be irreversible. It didn't stop shaking and shaking because he was far away.
Finally, with a bang, a hole was created in the statue. A thick and furry arm stretched out from inside.
Then, there were three other arms. The four arms of the Sky Splitting Ape broke free from the stone skin, and the statue came back to life.
"The Dragon King can't be so cruel, right?!" Ye Bufan sighed, turned around, and ran out.
This statue had really turned into a living Sky Splitting Ape. How could he fight it? He was just a gift to the Dragon King. Even with the Emperor Sword in his hand, he didn't feel like he could win at all.
However, just as he turned around to run away, he stopped after running for a dozen steps.
"That's not right. The Sky Splitting Ape will definitely be affected by the law of the world. It shouldn't have appeared at all! Moreover, the Dragon King is so savage. It completely doesn't conform to common sense. Could it be that there is something strange on the other side of this place? " Thinking of this, Ye Bufan turned around and faced the Sky Splitting Ape again. He began to calculate.
No matter what Ye Bufan was doing, the Sky Splitting Ape had been breaking through the stone skin. Finally, after the time it took to make a cup of tea, a Sky Splitting Ape really appeared in front of Ye Bufan.
"Eh?" Ye Bufan immediately felt that something was wrong. "Why is the aura of this Sky Splitting Ape so weak? Is this still the previous innate monster? Is this still the most powerful species among the monsters?"
Of course, Ye Bufan knew that there was an expert who could hide his aura so that his opponent wouldn't be able to know his level. However, what Ye Bufan was facing right now wasn't a human expert, but a Sky Splitting Ape that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years. Even if this fellow was really intelligent, he had been sleeping for hundreds of thousands of years. Could he still hide his Qi after waking up?
Most importantly, Ye Bufan had not felt any strong aura ever since the Sky Splitting Ape broke through the stone skin.
"If... this is a weakened version of the Sky Splitting Ape..." Ye Bufan's brain discovered this kind of speculation which gave him a huge shock.
But this speculation solved all of his previous doubts.
If this was a weakened version of the Sky Splitting Ape, then it wouldn't be a waste for the Dragon King to leave it here to guard the gate. It wouldn't cause too much trouble for the cultivators who entered the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
Most importantly, if this Sky Splitting Ape statue was placed here, it could also be used to test the mental strength and knowledge of the cultivators.
If a cultivator didn't even know what the Sky Splitting Ape was, it meant that this cultivator's knowledge reserves weren't perfect. It was possible that his current cultivation base was entirely dependent on the accumulation of resources. Without sufficient accumulation, although his cultivation base was high, it was useless.
Such a cultivator was obviously not the helper that the Dragon King wanted.
If a cultivator recognized the Sky Splitting Ape but chose to flee out of fear, then it was obvious that such a cultivator was not what the Dragon King needed.
When the great calamity arrived, the degree of terror would far exceed the level of the Sky Splitting Ape. Since he could not even face a tiny Sky Splitting Ape, how could he still help the East Sea stabilize the Crystal Palace in the great calamity? Perhaps he might have escaped first.
After figuring this out, Ye Bufan felt relieved. Since this was a weakened Sky Splitting Ape, although it was still a famous Sky Splitting Ape, it wouldn't make him feel too afraid anymore.
However, even if he analyzed it and found out that this Sky Splitting Ape was a weakened version... Ye Bufan wouldn't be careless either. He would always maintain a cautious attitude in every battle. It was a basic skill that allowed a cultivator to live longer.
The Sky Splitting Ape finally broke free from the stone skin. It saw Ye Bufan at first glance. It let out a wild roar and rushed towards Ye Bufan.
It waved its four arms and accelerated towards Ye Bufan. There was a long shadow behind it, which showed how fast it was.
Ye Bufan was slightly shocked by the speed of the Sky Splitting Ape, but he quickly prepared himself for it.
With a shake of his wrist, the Emperor Sword gently drew a line in the air. A long half-moon shaped light blade appeared in the air. With a swoosh, it separated from the tip of the sword and shot out.
The blade of light was twenty feet wide, about the width of the entire tunnel. It shot out from Ye Bufan's waist, and covered the entire passageway. It was impossible to dodge the blade of light from both sides. He could only jump up or lie on the ground.
This move was derived from the Scarlet Flame Dragon that he had released earlier. To put it bluntly, it was very simple. It was to separate a part of the sword light. Then, it would give it a push force, allowing the light blade to shoot out. As for how much damage it could cause after it was shot out, it was entirely up to the strength of the light blade itself.
After shooting out the light blade, Ye Bufan didn't stay idle. He waved the Emperor Sword in his hands left and right and shot out another two blades of light. These three blades of light formed a star shape combination. This time, even the space to move up and down was filled. The opponent had no other way to dodge such an attack other than to resist it head on.
Unexpectedly, the Sky Splitting Ape that should possess intelligence that was not inferior to a human's. It actually looked no different from a mutant beast. It had no intention of dodging at all. It howled as if it didn't see the light blade that Ye Bufan shot out, and continued charging forward.
Ye Bufan was very clear about the difference between the decisiveness of an intelligent life and the determination of a wild beast after making a decision. The current Sky Splitting Ape wasn't like a Demonic Beast at all. Instead, it was more or less the same as a mutant beast.
It only had a strong body, but no brain.
Was that the truth?
Ye Bufan saw the truth in the next moment. His three light blades occupied too much space. Did the Sky Splitting Ape have any intention of dodging? Thus, they crashed into each other.
"Rip!" An ear-piercing sound was heard. Ye Bufan fixed his eyes on it, and his eyeballs almost popped out.
The Sky Splitting Ape, which he thought was invincible, no longer had the appearance of a Xiantian monster. It had already shattered into a dozen pieces of bloody flesh and broken corpses. !!!
It had no strength to fight back!
Was this still a Sky Splitting Ape?
Ye Bufan was so shocked that his jaw almost fell down. It was only when his saliva flowed down uncontrollably that he closed his mouth with a 'Ka Cha' sound.
He couldn't believe it. Even if it was a weakened version of the Sky Splitting Ape, it shouldn't have been cut into more than ten pieces by him.
This... was too weak to withstand even a single blow.
After confirming again and again that the broken pieces on the ground really belonged to the Sky Splitting Ape, Ye Bufan had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He didn't feel excited because he had killed the Sky Splitting Ape. Instead, he felt a deep regret.
As a cultivator who wholeheartedly wanted to become stronger, he certainly hoped that one day... He would be able to compete with the real Sky Splitting Ape face to face, and not with the current situation. He didn't even know if this thing that he had killed could still be considered as the Sky Splitting Ape Clan.
Despite feeling emotional, Ye Bufan still wanted to continue advancing, because if he wanted to continue on the path of becoming stronger, he would need more and more resources.
The Dragon King had opened the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. There must be a lot of treasures inside. If possible, he really wanted to move the entire Spirit Treasure Pavilion away.
After all, he knew that there would be a great disaster that would bring about the integration of the three worlds.
Once the great disaster happened, the entire world would fall into an abyss of misery. At that time, not to mention gathering resources to grow herbs and herbs, even hiding in the most solid fortress might not be safe.
It didn't matter if it was to maintain his consumption during the great disaster, or to ensure that the New World would be safe after the great disaster. A large amount of resources had become an inevitable choice. It wasn't easy for him to obtain the opportunity to enter the Dragon King's Treasure Vault. Of course, Ye Bufan wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
He was prepared to take as much as he could.
As for his obligation to the Dragon King, if there was a chance, he would naturally help. If there was no chance, then the most important thing was to ensure his own survival.
Ye Bufan believed that the Dragon King definitely had such expectations as well. That was, the cultivators who might have obtained the treasures in his Spirit Treasure Pavilion would not come to help him defend Water Crystal Palace. Hence, they must have done something about the treasures. Perhaps, they would be able to forcefully send the cultivators who had obtained the treasures into the Water Crystal Palace to help him.
However, Ye Bufan wasn't worried about this at all, because this kind of forced teleportation required a spiritual imprint to be left on the treasure. With the Blue Luan Bird, Ye Bufan was confident that he would be able to remove the spiritual imprint of the Dragon King.
After the Sky Splitting Ape died, the tightly shut door behind it was suddenly opened.
However, although the door was open, there was a layer of white light covering the door, making it impossible to see what was inside.2
Ye Bufan had already gotten used to the mysterious way of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. He wasn't surprised by it and walked straight into the white light.
After walking more than ten steps in the white light, the white light in front of Ye Bufan finally disappeared. What appeared in front of him was a small room.
The room was only about twenty square meters, and it was rectangular in shape. There were three doors in the innermost room. There was a small table in front of each door, and a treasure was placed on the table.
"Choose one out of three?" Ye Bufan smiled and walked to the treasure closest to him and carefully observed it.
This kind of treasure. This kind of multiple-choice question would often appear in the examination. He did not expect to encounter this kind of old test in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion of the Dragon King.
This kind of test. The most classic answer of the test was to choose the most inconspicuous and crude one, because the "Great Dao is the simplest." Only the simplest, the treasure closest to the origin and nature was the most precious natural treasure.
