Chapter 135: The Might of the Vajra Ape King, Cultivators Wiped Out
Rumble, rumble~~
In an instant, that Vajra Ape King, comparable to a Golden Core Real Person, wore a cold expression and, without a word, immediately struck.
A massive hand condensed from Dharma Power slapped down, covering an area of several miles.
A Golden Core Dharma Domain even erupted from its body, shrouding the surroundings.
It bound this group of Cultivators, leaving them unable to move.
This is why Golden Core Cultivators are so formidable, worthy of being called regional overlords.
If a force possesses one Golden Core Real Person, it can basically flourish for five hundred years.
It is because Golden Core Cultivators possess overwhelming combat power and condense a Golden Core Dharma Domain, which acts like a domain to suppress all directions.
Cultivators with low cultivation levels basically have almost no power to resist when facing a Golden Core Dharma Domain.
Even if any number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators were added together, they would not be a match for a Golden Core Real Person.
Therefore, when facing the fury of a Golden Core Real Person, ordinary Cultivators can only close their eyes and wait for death; they simply cannot resist.
Thud!
The next second, under the desperate gazes of Elder Shen Sheng of the Shen Family and the others, they watched helplessly as this Dharma Power hand crushed down, erupting with terrifying might.
Instantly, the area for several miles was flattened by the giant hand, leaving behind a clear, massive ape king handprint, with the terrifying aura of a Monster Beast permeating the surroundings.
Elder Shen Sheng of the Shen Family and the other Cultivators were slapped to death in an instant, their entire bodies turning into a mist of blood.
They could not even hold on for a single second before their bodies died and their paths vanished.
Before dying, Shen Sheng and the other Cultivators regretted it to the extreme; if they had known this Golden Core Cave Abode was so dangerous and guarded by a Third-tier Monster Beast, they would never have gone to explore it, even if it killed them.
Unfortunately, no matter what is said now, it is already too late.
This is the end result of being too greedy.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
After slapping the numerous Cultivators to death with one palm, that Vajra Ape King sensed the surrounding aura and, finding no other Human Cultivators present, felt very satisfied.
Thus, it let out a howl.
Immediately following, a large number of Monster Beasts followed the Vajra Ape King and quickly returned to the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
After all, for them, the living environment in these places was still too harsh.
If it were the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, there would still be Third-tier Spirit Veins, or even Fourth-tier Spirit Veins.
These places were still a bit barren.
…………
At this very moment, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, Xia Jingyan, Leng Yuexi, and the others, who were staying hundreds of meters underground, naturally sensed this terrifying tremor.
Although the power of the Vajra Ape King could not be transmitted to a place hundreds of meters underground, it still caused them to feel a violent shaking, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Fortunately, the Underground Shelter had been reinforced by the Gold-Eating Insect, so ordinary power could not cause the Underground Shelter to collapse.
Otherwise, it would still have caused a certain degree of trouble.
"Husband, what happened?"
Ji Bingyu and the others looked at Zhou Sui curiously.
Because they knew their husband had left his Clone Gu on the surface to facilitate monitoring every move on the ground, he should also know what had just happened.
"A Third-tier Monster Beast just came to the valley, seemingly chasing that group of family Cultivators." Zhou Sui stroked his chin; his Clone Gu was hidden deep within a large tree and only dared to release a faint trace of divine sense.
Therefore, he could only see a general picture and was not clear about the inside story.
"No way, a Third-tier Monster Beast actually came out? What exactly did that group of family Cultivators do to enrage a Third-tier Monster Beast? Are they crazy?"
Leng Yuexi was very surprised.
She knew just how terrifying a Third-tier Monster Beast was, with combat power comparable to a Golden Core Real Person.
Being in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, it also occupied the advantage of home ground.
This also resulted in Golden Core sects like the Qingmu Sect, Xianxia Sect, and Youmo Sect not daring to venture deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
If they were not careful, they could also fall within it.
Yet now, that group of Foundation Establishment family Cultivators was actually bold enough to provoke a Third-tier Monster Beast.
If this isn't seeking their own death, what is?
"Don't worry, I'll go perform a Soul Search to see."
With a movement of his mind, Zhou Sui immediately let the Dream Soul Gu leave him, quickly passing through the underground tunnel to reach the surface.
At this time, the Shen Family Cultivators and the others had just died, and their souls had not yet completely dissipated.
By using the power of the Dream Soul Gu, he should still be able to obtain some soul memories.
Whoosh, whoosh~~~
In an instant, the Dream Soul Gu arrived on the surface, opened its mouth wide, and instantly swallowed all the souls scattered on the ground, making them its own, while a large amount of soul memory fragments flooded in.
Half an hour later, he organized the soul memories and finally understood the ins and outs of this matter.
"So that's how it is."
Zhou Sui took a deep breath and recounted the actions of the Shen Family and the other family Cultivators one by one, telling Ji Bingyu and the others the full story.
"I didn't expect that Golden Core Cave Abode to be so dangerous; even after breaking the Forbidden Array inside, there was still a Third-tier Monster Beast, the Vajra Ape King, guarding it. They really had the worst luck in eight lifetimes."
Leng Yuexi was very moved.
Although she knew that exploring a Golden Core Cave Abode was very dangerous, with a mortality rate of over ninety percent, she did not expect it to be dangerous to this extent, with a Third-tier Monster Beast protecting it.
Isn't this just setting people up?!
However, who could have imagined that Wanliu Zhenren had been dead for over five hundred years and still left behind his Spirit Beast.
The Spirit Beast even cherished old feelings and had been guarding the Cave Abode all along.
Those who attempted to break into the Cave Abode of Wanliu Zhenren basically had no chance of survival.
She was also glad that her husband had been very cautious before and had not been blinded by greed.
Otherwise, if he had really joined the exploration of the Golden Core Cave Abode, he would likely have been in grave danger this time.
"But why did that Golden Core Ape King not strike earlier, and only chose to strike when the final Forbidden Array was being broken? Could it be that it did not notice what that group of Cultivators was doing before?"
Mu Ziyan asked curiously.
"It is unclear. Perhaps it is because that Vajra Ape King was in closed-door cultivation, and only when the final Forbidden Array was broken was it completely disturbed, which is why it struck so fiercely."
"Or perhaps that Vajra Ape King deliberately allowed that group of Cultivators to use them to break the Array Formation, and only chose to strike at the very end to reap the rewards of the fisherman."
"It could also be an order left behind by Wanliu Zhenren after death, that the Vajra Ape King could only strike once the final array was broken."
"But regardless, that Golden Core Cave Abode had long since been in the pocket of the Vajra Ape King, and others could not lay a finger on it."
Zhou Sui shook his head.
No one knew what that Vajra Ape King was actually thinking.
But what could be known is that with the Vajra Ape King guarding the Cave Abode of Wanliu Zhenren, unless a Golden Core Cultivator takes action.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for anyone else to lay a finger on it.
He also did not want to know what the reason behind it was.
As long as he knew that the Cave Abode was very dangerous and that he could not go in to explore, that was completely enough.
In this world, not everything needs to be figured out; it is rare to be muddled.
