Chapter 897

Almost instantly, he discovered this problem.

The Moon God Elf Cornelia, though powerful,

displayed her abilities in a more comprehensive manner; in terms of pure combat strength—

she was no match for the Purple Crystal Battle Ape.

Even with five Medusas cooperating, it would likely still be insufficient.

The Medusas' abilities were indeed heaven-defying.

But the Purple Crystal Battle Ape's resistances were terrifying as well!

'Ignoring defense' is not the same as 'ignoring resistance'!

What is resistance?

A stone has full resistance to petrification.

A wisp of flame has full resistance to fire-type damage.

Even the Medusas could not petrify a stone further, because it was already equivalent to a petrified product.

No matter how strong the flame, it could not burn a wisp of flame into nothingness.

These are all the same principle.

And the Purple Crystal Battle Ape—

was exactly like this.

This creature was naturally immune to magic.

It possessed peerless combat power and was known as the King of the Earth.

Relying not only on its terrifyingly lethal damage output—

but also on its unparalleled resistances!

The dragon breath of giant dragons spraying upon them was like tickling, having no effect whatsoever.

Various other magical attacks—

were much the same.

And petrification—

was also a variant magic of the Earth element!

Even with the 'Ignoring Defense' effect added, it still belonged to the Earth element!

Of course—

the effect of 'Ignoring Defense' was still extremely terrifying.

Even with the Purple Crystal Battle Ape's heaven-defying resistances,

it would absolutely still suffer considerable damage.

But that was all.

For the Purple Crystal Battle Ape, whose life energy surged like a tide—

considerable damage would not have much impact.

"At the very least—"

"we must wait until the Moon God Elf Sheryl and the Phoenix Fenix grow stronger."

"Then deploy them as well."

"Only with a terrifying lineup comprising two Moon God Elves, one Phoenix, and one Six-Winged Dragon King, plus Medusa support—"

"can we guarantee one hundred percent the slaying of this Purple Crystal Battle Ape!"

He took a deep breath.

And directly issued a divine oracle:

"Be careful to track this Purple Crystal Battle Ape; await my divine oracle."

"Hand the detection gem to Ming Ya and have him responsible for detection."

After giving the orders—

he directly left the Eternal Island.

……

Within the Divine Kingdom.

Li Yue's gaze was calm.

To let the Moon God Elf Sheryl and the Phoenix Fenix grow stronger,

naturally—

required time.

And time—

required vast amounts of divine power!

"Mythical creatures have foundations that are too substantial."

"Although their talents are unparalleled, the accumulation they require far exceeds that of higher beings; in fact—"

"they must advance to the Ninth-Transmutation Golden Demigod Realm."

"The time consumed will not be less than that of higher beings."

"Last time—"

"the Moon God Elf Cornelia advanced to the Ninth-Transmutation Golden Demigod."

"It consumed a full fourteen hundred and some years."

"The Moon God Elf Sheryl and the Phoenix Fenix, I imagine, will not differ much..."

He murmured softly to himself, a thoughtful expression crossing his face.

Accelerating by one thousand four hundred and some years—

would require nearly three hundred thousand drops of divine power.

Yet he currently—

held only one hundred twenty thousand and some drops of divine power in hand.

Far from enough.

Among them—

more than thirty thousand drops of divine power were obtained from annihilating those three mid-tier True Gods of the Demon lineage in the previous sweep.

Within their divine cores—

lay vast amounts of divine power.

Hoo—

He waved his hand lightly.

Immediately—

beams of light shimmered in the void.

Among them—

were three empty mid-tier divine cores of the Demon lineage and thirty-eight empty lower-tier divine cores of the Demon lineage.

Twelve supreme lower-tier divine artifacts and thirty-two ordinary lower-tier divine artifacts.

All belonged to the Demon lineage.

"These—"

"are probably worth around thirty thousand drops of divine power."

Li Yue pondered.

Thirty thousand drops of divine power—

a drop in the bucket, far from enough.

Afterwards—

his gaze settled on the Immortal Continent.

The region where the Di Alliance members provided coordinates—

still had more than two hundred and seventy demigods alive.

However—

although they were alive.

But—
