Chapter 2386: Great Battle

"So it's the Body Substitution Technique, truly profound enough. However, I'm a bit curious: given your current situation, how much of your original divine abilities can you still retain?" The giant ape's pupils suddenly shone with blue light as it looked Ancestor Wugou up and down, a strange look appearing on its face.

"You... what do you mean by that?" Ancestor Wugou opposite narrowed his eyes for the first time, and spoke for the first time. His voice was extremely cryptic, as if he hadn't spoken for I don't know how many years, but the expression on his face remained wooden.

"Fellow Daoist, you don't know, but my pair of spirit eyes, if used with full power, can see everything clearly within ten thousand miles. Although you used secret treasures to cover up the corpse aura on your body and can act as freely as a normal person, the necrotic muscles on your body can never escape my eyes. I'm just curious how you became like this—was it voluntary, or were you planted with a restriction by someone?" The giant ape's rumbling voice came, causing Ancestor Wugou's pupils to shrink again, and the pair of hands he had hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly without knowing when.

The giant ape's voice was so loud that all the other Great Ascension cultivators nearby heard it clearly. Everyone was shocked, and only Fairy Huaxi, upon hearing this, had her expression change greatly, and she suddenly shouted sharply.

"Wugou, what are you doing? Why listen to his nonsense? Kill him quickly!"

Then, this woman used some kind of divine ability, and the giant ring that was trapping the mountain shone brightly, transforming into dense crystal sand, and then surged up, actually wrapping the extreme mountain tightly, transforming into a giant crystal ball that floated quietly in mid-air without moving.

Then, Fairy Huaxi twisted her waist and transformed into a shocking rainbow, shooting over. After just a flash, she appeared beside Wugou and reappeared, staring fiercely at the giant ape with her willow eyebrows raised.

"Rest assured, his little provocation can't really interfere with my state of mind. Hehe, let you down. The reason I became this half-human, half-corpse appearance is not because I was harmed by anyone, but because of a mistake in cultivation. To save my life, I had to become like this. No need for nonsense, do it!" Ancestor Wugou glanced at Fairy Huaxi beside him, a hint of sarcasm appearing in his eyes, but his mouth still said expressionlessly.

And the moment his last sentence fell, he suddenly took a big step, his body blurred, actually transforming from one into two, from two into four... In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen identical phantoms appeared around the giant ape, and after another flash, more phantoms transformed, pouncing toward the center.

In an instant, it was as if more than a hundred people were rushing toward the giant ape simultaneously.

Fairy Huaxi beside him saw this, her eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, she grabbed into the void with one hand. Suddenly, countless points of crystal light flew out from her body, gathered in her hand, and a simple-looking sand blade more than a zhang long appeared. After a coquettish shout, she slashed toward the void where Han Li was.

In an instant, the giant ape transformed by Han Li felt the surrounding void tighten, and an incredibly strange weight acted on its body. Even with its transformed body, it felt its movements sluggish and its escape techniques ineffective for a time.

At this time, the numerous grey shadow clones transformed by Ancestor Wugou also arrived near the giant ape in a flash. Their arms swayed, and "chi-chi" sounds arose. Countless green claw glows appeared, grabbing straight toward the giant ape's vital points.

The giant ape saw this, but didn't show any panic. Instead, with a low roar, purple-gold light flourished on its body, and countless silver runes surged out from its body. After spinning, they transformed into dense silver pattern arrays, and after a buzzing sound, they transformed into a silver rune armor, covering its entire body.

Those green glows struck it, and "ding-dang" sounds came, all rebounding away.

At the same time, the giant ape's body swelled several times, its face turned fierce, and pieces of purple-gold scales appeared on its body. At the same time, black light appeared on its head, and a golden short horn appeared out of thin air. Its two arms, wrapped in golden scales, struggled fiercely toward both sides.

Immediately, a roar rang out in the surroundings, and the void vaguely twisted and distorted, as if something had been forcibly broken by the giant ape after its transformation. At the same time, the giant sand blade in Fairy Huaxi's hand in the distance also "bang-ed" and collapsed into sand grains.

This woman was startled, revealing a look of horror.

The giant ape pinched magic with one hand, and thunderous sounds arose on its body. Bowls-thick golden electric arcs swirled out, shooting crazily in all directions.

In an instant, the space of a mu centered on the giant ape was full of flashing thunder light and swirling golden arcs.

The nearly a hundred grey shadows that had approached the giant ape were all dispersed amidst the thunderbolts.

Only a dozen or so lucky ones escaped, and they hurriedly gathered in one place, fusing back into Ancestor Wugou's true body.

The giant ape saw this scene and let out a fierce laugh. It pinched magic with one hand and spat out a silver fire ball with a diameter of about a zhang.

This fire ball rolled away, and a clear cry came from within. In an instant, it transformed into a silver fire bird more than ten zhang long.

This giant fire bird spread its wings, and faint golden light flashed within them, pouncing toward Fairy Huaxi in the distance.

As for Ancestor Wugou, after the giant ape grabbed into the void with one giant hand, the void nearby suddenly tightened, and an invisible giant force shrouded it.

Ancestor Wugou felt a chill in his heart and shook his sleeves. Suddenly, a round bead wrapped in green gas flew out.

This round bead shot toward the high sky, its volume swelled, transforming into the size of a cart wheel in the blink of an eye, smashing fiercely into the giant force pressing down from above.

An earth-shattering roar.

A green sun suddenly rose above Ancestor Wugou, and at the same time, a hurricane-like shockwave rolled out in all directions.

This green round bead didn't know what kind of strange treasure it was, but at this moment, it was emanating dazzling light, and countless golden characters appeared on its surface, actually forcibly breaking the giant ape's grabbing force in one strike.

Han Li was also a bit surprised, but immediately his other furry giant hand grabbed out like lightning.

This time, fluctuations arose above Ancestor Wugou, and countless golden electric arcs swirled out. After condensing, they directly transformed into a purple-gold giant hand, striking down with a roar, hitting the bead in the sun below exactly.

The bead was instantly wrapped in countless golden electric arcs, and runes appeared on its surface, but they shattered and vanished amidst the wild flashing of the electric arcs.

The bead itself trembled unceasingly and began to fall slowly.

Ancestor Wugou below let out a cold snort and pointed into the void toward the high sky with one hand.

The originally shrinking bead let out a clear cry, its light changed suddenly, actually transforming into a pale golden color, and at the same time, a layer of light screen condensed on its surface.

Despite the wild strikes of the golden electric arcs, the golden bead still floated steadily in the air without moving.

At this time, the giant ape transformed by Han Li took a big step, teleporting across a distance of a hundred zhang, appearing directly in front of Ancestor Wugou, and its arm moved, striking down fiercely with a giant fist covered in countless silver patterns.

Explosions rang out wildly above Ancestor Wugou, and an invisible giant force more than double as strong as before surged down. The bead blocking below immediately flickered wildly and was pressed down slowly again.

Ancestor Wugou saw this, and essence light flashed in his eyes. His arm moved, seemingly about to perform some divine ability to resist.

But just then, a cry for help from Fairy Huaxi came from afar.

"Wugou, come quickly, I can't hold on!"

This woman's voice was sharp and urgent, as if filled with incomparable panic.

Ancestor Wugou's heart moved, and he hurriedly turned his head to look over.

He saw that Fairy Huaxi over there was wrapped in a sea of silver fire, and a fire bird was dancing up and down near her.

Fairy Huaxi was hiding behind an extremely thick crystal sand cover.

But under the rolling burning of the silver flames, this sand cover was quickly melting into points of crystal juice.

The power of these silver flames was far beyond this woman's expectations.

Not only could her innate defensive divine ability not resist its high-temperature erosion, but even the seven or eight treasures she released in one breath only bought a moment of time before they were dissolved and burned.

What was even stranger was that as the silver fire bird danced up and down nearby, bursts of restriction fluctuations came from the surroundings, as if the nearby void had been sealed, making her not dare to cast magic to leave, and she could only guard the spot without moving.

Now seeing that the sand cover couldn't hold on for long, she could only call for help from Wugou in her anxiety.

Ancestor Wugou saw the situation here, his hand movement paused slightly, a twitching look seemed to flash in his eyes, but he immediately made a decision.

He saw him let out a loud shout, and his body suddenly burst, transforming into more than a hundred phantoms and fleeing in all directions.

Although the giant ape's face changed, its other arm blurred, and a giant claw phantom grabbed down like lightning, but it only grabbed a small portion into powder.

Most of the phantoms still appeared near the silver fire sea after several flashes, and after gathering in one place, they transformed back into Ancestor Wugou's true body.

He pinched magic quickly with one hand, and golden flames soared on his body, and he plunged into the fire sea without any hesitation.

Only in the silver fire sea, a cluster of golden flames drifted like a ghost, and after a "pop-chi" sound, it appeared strangely beside Fairy Huaxi.

Fairy Huaxi was overjoyed, pointed at the sand screen with one hand, and a gap appeared.

Ancestor Wugou flashed again, entered it, and appeared beside this woman.

"Take action quickly. My Star Sand can't support for long. Only your innate true flame can resist the opponent's spirit flame." Fairy Huaxi stared at the giant fire bird that was pouncing on the sand screen, speaking urgently.

At this time, the giant ape transformed by Han Li was also "rumbling" and stepping toward this side, making this woman feel even more anxious.

"Good, you put away the Star Sand, I will release the innate true flame."

Ancestor Wugou replied expressionlessly, flipped his hand, and with a "pop-chi" sound, a cluster of golden flames shot out, wrapping his entire arm, but after a flash, it suddenly stabbed toward Fairy Huaxi, who was close at hand, at an indescribable speed. (To be continued) ===== CHAPTER 2387 =====
