"That's right, you better go back and take a look now, or if you return too late, your Crystal Palace might just disappear," Lu Chen said smugly, directly threatening the Water Demon.
Before coming to Goat Path Peak, he had sent four Dragonbone Chariots to sneak across from the seabed. After the Water Demon left, he began to destroy his Crystal Palace, striking at his foundation. Now that the news was out, it was directly disrupting the Water Demon's plans.
The Water Demon was furious. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a column of water from the ground and infused it with Yin Yuan, transforming it into a water whip made of condensed water. Before Lu Chen could react in time, the Water Demon had already lashed down with the whip.
Lu Chen hurriedly jumped aside and turned back to look, immediately feeling a chill run down his spine. Although the whip was made of water, its power was immense. A light swing struck the ground where Lu Chen had just stood, creating a five-inch deep groove.
The floor of this Demon Thirteen Tomb Underground Palace was at least made of marble, yet it could not withstand the Water Demon's whip strike.
The water whip in his hand had power far exceeding that of a steel whip; if a person were hit by it, their flesh would likely be torn in two instantly.
The Water Demon retracted the whip and, seeing his attack miss, let out a cold snort while silently chanting an incantation.
"Water Emperor Technique."
Immediately, countless waves surged toward Lu Chen from all directions, towering higher than houses, overwhelming everything in their path.
This divine ability of the Water Demon was called the Water Emperor Technique, meaning the emperor of water; wherever there was water, no one could be his opponent.
Seeing this, Lu Chen quickly summoned the Five Elements, Five Symbols Great Disk and pressed forward.
However, Lu Chen's Five Elements, Five Symbols Great Disk seemed ineffective against the Water Demon's Water Emperor Technique. His large disk appeared like a small boat navigating through a vast ocean—insignificant and powerless.
Lu Chen knew that although this Water Demon’s cultivation level was only around Void Immortal First Layer, within this Underground Palace filled with water stains, it was as if the Water Demon had entered a paradise.
Here, the Water Demon's cultivation level was significantly enhanced—roughly equivalent to Void Immortal Second Layer.
Seeing this, Lu Chen took out a piece of Ancient Golem Essence from the cracked Jun Bell and began to decompose it using the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture.
This piece of Ancient Golem Essence was a descendant of Yuanmo Laozu, the ancestor of the Demon Ape Black Tower, and had once been a general under the Demon Emperor Mao.
After decomposing the Essence, Lu Chen gained battle experience contained within it, including the countless battles fought by the ancestor of the Black Tower and the recorded experiences of killing by the Commander.
Lu Chen injected Yin Yuan into the decomposed Essence, which suddenly surged violently, emitting a blinding light.
Lu Chen's actions shocked everyone present; no one knew what he was about to do.
As Lu Chen decomposed the Essence of the Black Tower ancestor, his true form immediately soared into the air, merging with the Essence. As the light surged, he grew larger and taller until he resembled Yuanmo Laozu, possessing a fierce appearance and terrifying aura.
This was Lu Chen utilizing the Essence of the Demon Ape to project the Demon Ape Avatar, akin to a war god reborn. However, it was indeed an illusion and not real.
The Demon Ape Avatar itself was shrouded in blood shadows, with layers of Demonic Energy swirling around it. This Demonic Energy would rise and fall with the movements of the Demon Ape, rolling and flowing without dissipating.
Once Lu Chen merged with the Demon Ape Avatar, they became one; he was the Demon Ape Avatar, and the Demon Ape Avatar was him.
At first, Lu Chen found it somewhat awkward to control the distant Dharmakaya. When facing the Water Demon's Water Emperor Technique, it felt like an ape swimming in water—clumsy and laborious.
However, after just a short while, Lu Chen became familiar with controlling the distant Dharmakaya, mastering it as if it were truly himself.
Then an astonishing scene unfolded. Lu Chen manipulated the Demon Ape Avatar, swinging its massive body and wielding a gigantic stone club to break through the Water Demon's Water Emperor Technique and charge forward.
The Demon Ape Avatar let out a loud roar as it raised its huge stone club and smashed it down. The Water Demon quickly dodged, transforming into countless water droplets that scattered and fell to the ground.
Lu Chen was familiar with a technique from the Moon King Sword Technique called Giant Throwing Stick, which involved an ancient Giant Ape throwing its massive stone club. The club could automatically return without relying on anything else for rebound; it used clever force.
Lu Chen had practiced the Moon King's Blade and had long memorized this technique, becoming extremely familiar with it.
He saw the Water Demon trying to escape and immediately controlled the Demon Ape Avatar to pursue. With a blink of his eye, the Demon Ape Avatar swung the massive stone club in its hand and hurled it forward.
The Water Demon realized it was in grave danger. Turning around, it saw the stone club flying directly at it. If hit, it would either die or be severely injured.
Especially since the Demon Ape Avatar's original form was a general under the first Demon Emperor Mao of the Demon Kingdom, known for countless killings and immense sins. The Essence left behind by its death was naturally extremely ferocious.
The Water Demon did not dare to be careless. Fortunately, it had a sudden inspiration and noticed that there was a Dark River beneath the Underground Palace, right at the edge of it.
The Water Demon quickly swam over and jumped into the Dark River just in time, disappearing from sight.
Lu Chen retrieved the returning stone club and ran to the side of the Dark River. He saw that the water flow was turbulent and fierce, murky beyond measure. The Water Demon excelled at controlling water; once it jumped down there, he feared no one would be able to pursue it.
Feeling somewhat disappointed that this fellow, the Water Demon, had managed to escape, Lu Chen picked up the stone club and returned to the battlefield of the Golden Ancient One and the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent.
The Golden Ancient One moved with a calm yet slightly slow grace, wielding its Golden Staff as it trembled against the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent, both sides locked in a fierce struggle.
In contrast, the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent appeared much more ferocious, having entered a frenzied state. It moved rapidly, its massive flesh rising and falling violently, occasionally spewing out toxic venom from its mouth. Wherever it splattered, even marble would turn to dust.
Faced with such a situation, Lu Chen was unsure how to intervene in the battle. Any moment of carelessness could disrupt the balance.
On another front, Yuanmo Laozu was surrounded by the Minotaur and others, creating an extremely intense scene reminiscent of wolves fighting a fierce tiger—bloodthirsty and brutal.
Yuanmo Laozu leaped high into the air, bringing down his enormous stone club with tremendous force. Wherever it struck, nothing could withstand its might; no one could block his advance.
The massive stone club crashed into the ground as if shaking the entire Underground Palace.
Several Beast Clan Leaders seized the opportunity, bending their legs before suddenly leaping out like arrows, attaching themselves to Yuanmo Laozu's back.
Yuanmo Laozu rolled over and reached back to grab the Beast Clan Leaders, lifting them as if they were chickens and smashing them down fiercely, then easily tossing them away.
Yuanmo Laozu was fierce and powerful, but the Minotaurs were numerous and surrounded him for a group attack.
Yuanmo Laozu could not hold out for long, and Lu Chen was very clear about this. Therefore, he needed to think of a way to alleviate the predicament as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the Water Demon had already left because his Crystal Palace was being destroyed by the Dragonbone Chariot; he needed to return to manage the situation.
The Water Demon was extremely cunning, working with the Minotaurs and Demon Sculptors to implement schemes with great ease.
Now that the Water Demon had left, the Minotaurs were brave but lacked strategy; they might not be able to stir up much trouble, especially given the current predicament.
Lu Chen blinked as he observed the battle between the Golden Ancient One and the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent. The Golden Ancient One was fully focused on fighting and showed no signs of stopping. He wondered about this creature's character.
However, the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent was absolutely untrustworthy; it was notorious for trying to monopolize treasures whenever they appeared.
Moreover, the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent acted alone and never cooperated or communicated with anyone. It seemed to be an ancient relic species, a savage beast that did not understand communication.
Given this, it seemed that the Golden Ancient One was more trustworthy. Lu Chen made up his mind to try sending a message to the Golden Ancient One.
"Golden Ancient One, would you be willing to cooperate?"
After transmitting the message, Lu Chen hoped for a response from the Golden Ancient One, but it remained focused on its battle and showed no intention of acknowledging him.
Just as Lu Chen felt slightly disappointed and was about to give up and seek other methods, the Golden Ancient One paused for a moment before sending a response back to Lu Chen.
"Cooperation? Although your cultivation is low, you still have some capital, right? I wonder what kind of cooperation you are proposing?"
After relaying the message, the Golden Ancient One continued to focus on the battle, not even glancing at Lu Chen.
Seeing this, Lu Chen felt a surge of joy and quickly sent another message.
"My friend, the Ape Demon, is suffering from a hidden illness and needs the Divine Treasure Elixir for treatment. Therefore, we must obtain the Divine Treasure Elixir. As for the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent, I can help you eliminate it."
The Golden Ancient One quickly replied, "Help me eliminate the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent? I have no enmity with it; we are only competing for the Divine Treasure Elixir. And your tone is so arrogant, wanting to monopolize the Divine Medicine. Do you think I would agree to that?"
Lu Chen licked his lips, pondered for a moment, and then sent another message.
"We can share the Divine Treasure Elixir with you; we can split it evenly. Of course, I want the Divine Medicine not to increase my own cultivation but for my friend; this is our only hope. In return, I will help you deal with the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent. You should understand the current situation; once Ox and his group free up their hands, the Divine Treasure Elixir will likely fall into their hands."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the Golden Ancient One fell into deep thought as he considered the current situation.
Over there, the Minotaurs may not be very strong individually, but their numbers were overwhelming—dozens of them. Once the Golden Ancient One and the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent fought to the end, they would inevitably face ambushes from them.
