CRACK! The blood-colored giant ape’s fist and the double-pupil demon ape’s fist collided violently in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, countless arcs of lightning exploded outward in all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! A quake like mountains collapsing and oceans surging descended upon Wangyue Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive shockwave of energy, circular and layered, radiated outward, turning many rocks and trees on the back mountain to ash in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the island, the Wu family hid inside a cave, shaken by this apocalyptic force, utterly terrified, not daring to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jiang wore a bitter expression: “Qin Daoist, please don’t get hurt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the main peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Qin Ming’s blood-colored giant ape clashed fists with the double-pupil demon ape, both colossal forms were flung backward! THUD! Qin Ming’s body slammed hard into the hill behind him, sending rocks and debris flying; his mouth turned sweet, and a trickle of blood seeped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time he had been injured since he perfected the Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opposing double-pupil demon ape was also flung back, crashing onto the lake’s surface and splashing up a massive wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It fared no better—spewing a mouthful of blood, its injuries had widened further from that single blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon ape’s eyes widened in disbelief: how could a human cultivator, relying solely on physical strength, match its own power and come out even?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAR! Before the demon ape could rise, the blackwater crocodile’s body also expanded to over ten zhang, roaring as it opened its jaws to reveal two rows of chilling fangs, then lunged forward to bite the demon ape’s left leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed instantly, staining the nearby lake red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAR! The double-pupil demon ape, in agony and fury, roared and swung its fist, ready to crush the crocodile’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZZZT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, dark golden lightning flickered within the crocodile’s mouth, and a bolt of thunder surged instantly from the demon ape’s left leg to its entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The double-pupil demon ape stiffened completely, its descending fist freezing midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHH! In that opening, the Silver-Winged Frost Bee became a silver streak, appearing mysteriously above the demon ape’s skull and firing a Soul-Annihilating Poison Spike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul-Annihilating Poison Spike was invisible and intangible, slicing through the air, about to strike the demon ape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The double-pupil demon ape sensed the danger and its eyes flared again with twin beams of mysterious light, sweeping upward—the Silver-Winged Frost Bee’s spike vanished instantly, dissolved into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the demon ape’s eyes turned blood-red, and it roared as purple spiritual runes erupted across its entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its fur and skin instantly turned purple, and a powerful force surged forth from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It leapt up from the lake, its massive left hand gripping the crocodile’s neck, then its right fist slammed down with full force onto the crocodile’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD! The blackwater crocodile was dazed by the blow, but its thick hide and heavy armor saved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any other beast would have been reduced to a mist of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The double-pupil demon ape seized the chance, wrenching free from the crocodile’s bite and hurling its massive body over ten zhang away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming stared at the demon ape’s new form—it had activated some bloodline secret technique, its power doubling instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He narrowed his eyes: his blood-colored giant ape form consumed vast amounts of blood qi and true Gang , and he must end this quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rose again, clenched his fist, and smashed it toward the demon ape with all his might!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAM! BAM! BAM! The double-pupil demon ape refused to yield, swinging its fists and clashing again with the blood-colored giant ape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fists blurred, each blow landing on flesh; the two titans fought from lake to island, then back to lake again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming gritted his teeth, his face pale and drawn; his blood qi and true Gang  were dangerously depleted under such intense consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately used a [Blood Qi Crystal] term, instantly restoring part of his loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After activating that secret technique, the double-pupil demon ape also neared exhaustion—its roars grew weak, no longer as ferocious as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s gaze burned as he shoved the demon ape back, his five fingers snapping together, channeling all his remaining blood qi and true Gang  into one final punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! Instantly, the blood-colored fist erupted in dazzling crimson light, solid as tangible substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Qin Ming leapt high, gathering power before slamming his fist down upon the demon ape! THUD! CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flesh and blood flew apart—the double-pupil demon ape let out a shriek as its left arm was shattered clean off by the blood-colored giant ape’s punch, exploding into a mist of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the blackwater crocodile opened its jaws wide, condensing an unprecedentedly massive dark golden lightning bolt, unleashing its ultimate bloodline divine technique upon the demon ape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! The lightning struck instantly, scorching the demon ape inside and out; only its absurdly tough body saved it—no late Foundation Establishment beast could have withstood such an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeated heavy blows and its existing injuries, the demon ape could no longer hold on—it collapsed backward into the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blackwater crocodile, believing it had slain the demon ape, gleamed with triumph and rushed toward the water to pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming immediately extended his spiritual sense—his face turned ashen, and he shouted: “No! Retreat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SPLASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD! The lake’s surface erupted in a wave as a giant ape, wreathed in purple mist, burst forth and smashed its fist into the crocodile’s body, sending it flying dozens of zhang away to crash onto the ground, its aura withered and feeble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming stared at the transformed double-pupil demon ape, his pupils contracting sharply: its left arm, just shattered moments ago, had fully regenerated—what kind of vitality and technique was this? Yet he also noticed something: though the demon ape now seemed ferocious, it was clearly fighting its final breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Qin Ming saw that the demon ape’s once-bright double pupils had turned dull and lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had sacrificed its vision permanently to activate a bloodline-burning technique, regaining its peak power for a fleeting moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Qin Ming broke into a cold sweat—when a beast dies, its final strike is always the deadliest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gritted his teeth, disregarding his two spiritual pets, and ordered the blackwater crocodile to attack again, to stall the demon ape for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blackwater crocodile, receiving Qin Ming’s command, glared fiercely, fearless and relentless, charging straight at the demon ape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming then withdrew from his storage pouch the third-rank talisman treasure—‘Azure Dragon Seal’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, fearing the demon ape’s anti-magic ability, he had dared not reveal it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the demon ape’s double pupils could no longer unleash that mysterious light—so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming poured vast amounts of magic power into the Azure Dragon Seal; within mere breaths, half his liquid magic power lake was drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it still wasn’t enough to fully activate the third-rank talisman—he gritted his teeth and increased output: “Enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As magic power flowed continuously, the talisman acted like an endless void, draining Qin Ming’s reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, the double-pupil demon ape kicked the blackwater crocodile and Silver-Winged Frost Bee aside, one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both beasts lay motionless, nearly dead, unable to rise or fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having disposed of Qin Ming’s two spiritual pets, the demon ape’s face twisted with hatred as it charged toward him—about to strike in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WUM! At this critical moment, the Azure Dragon Seal in Qin Ming’s hand flared with emerald light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That nearly killed me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had poured two-thirds of his magic power before finally activating the talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAR! The Azure Dragon Seal shot forth as a streak of light, transforming midair into the spectral form of a green dragon, wreathed in countless lightning bolts—its cataclysmic magical power descended upon the back of the main peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the dragon appeared, the double-pupil demon ape froze, its eyes filled with unmistakable despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green spectral form expanded in its dull pupils, and the purple mist enveloping its body dissolved like ice in sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! The green dragon struck the demon ape’s body, piercing straight through, extinguishing its last spark of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PLOP! The double-pupil demon ape, once feared throughout the spiritual energy cultivation world, collapsed lifeless at Qin Ming’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1385,"2026-06-20T20:44:51.995Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e5977097ce52d8e27f65adae106130b71a539f9eb649d26ae0d574e57b1d453e","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-197","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-195",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
