Chapter 2858: Sending Out the White Ape
Shi Yuan originally was not a match for the white ape, but thanks to the weapon he had just obtained, he managed to block the white ape's attacks several times, even smashing the white ape so that it kept retreating and dodging.
The white ape, upon first engaging, immediately sensed its Bloodline Power rapidly draining.
At this moment, Chi Lian was also sending a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun: "The white ape's Bloodline Power is also very strong!"
"Then you should try to help Shi Yuan absorb more of it!" Ye Liuyun at this moment could no longer attend to Li Xinran and could only tend to Shi Yuan first.
As Shi Yuan fought the white ape, he grew stronger. His Bloodline Power kept increasing, and his whole‑body petrify defense grew ever stronger; now he can hard‑stand the white ape's attacks.
The white ape, however, saw its Bloodline Power weaken with each strike, and its True Essence diminish as well. Consequently it grew increasingly restless, and Shi Yuan seized the chance to thrust a sword at it, then slashed it with a hatchet.
The wounded white ape's Bloodline Power kept draining; if the fight continued, even its realm would regress, so it cried out in panic.
Suddenly, it noticed the rate of Bloodline loss slow down, eventually stopping.
That was because Shi Yuan had already absorbed a great amount of Bloodline Power, and could no longer take in more. Biquku
Chi Lian could only helplessly tell Ye Liuyun, and even asked Ye Liuyun whether she should absorb some to help Shi Yuan win the battle.
"Then don't absorb any. This is Shi Yuan's own fight; let him fight on his own!"
Ye Liuyun saw that although Shi Yuan's realm was low, his weapon was good, he had three heads and six arms, and could petrify, so he wouldn't be at a loss in the end; therefore he wanted to accommodate Li Xinran's request.
Meanwhile, Shi Yuan and the white ape were now fighting purely on their own strength. In fact, Shi Yuan had another advantage: he could draw upon the power of the Space World. However, that power was too great, and he chose not to use it.
In this Secret Realm, Ye Liuyun had already discovered that the Monster Beasts there had no Space World power to draw upon. He guessed they could not find enough Primordial Power or Xingqiu to expand their own Space World.
Therefore, unless someone beside him was ambushed, they would basically not be killed by these Monster Beasts. As long as they borrowed Space World power, the Monster Beasts could not harm them.
And Shi Yuan kept continuously
fight, until both exhausted their True Essence and resorted to their Physical Bodies. In the end, the white ape was struck several times by Shi Yuan's long staff, finally collapsed, and was trampled under Shi Yuan's foot, powerless.
"Roar!"
Shi Yuan raised his weapon and let out a loud roar.
All the great apes opposite bowed their heads, hunched their backs, and withdrew to both sides, clearing a passage into the valley for him. Clearly they had already recognized his new ape‑king status.
During Shi Yuan's earlier battle, Qiong Qi had already broken all the Formations here, and Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil now saw every situation inside the valley.
The valley indeed was an herb field. There were still many apes left inside, at least a few thousand. However, their realms were all below the Dominant Realm, so they had little combat power and stayed hidden.
Shi Yuan lifted his foot, allowing the white ape to stand. The white ape, helpless, could only bow and submit to Shi Yuan.
Only then did Shi Yuan swagger toward the herb field, circling before all the apes to receive their acknowledgment.
Seizing the chance, Ye Liuyun launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, placing a Slave Seal on the white ape and summoning it.
"From now on, follow her and recognize her as master. She will lead you out of this Secret Realm, let you understand the outside world, grant you Primordial Power to expand your Space World, and give you a Transformation Pill so you can take human form."
Ye Liuyun laid out the conditions to him.
The white ape pondered, then glanced again at the distant herb field. It was no longer the ape king. If it remained, it would likely not live as comfortably as before and would be ridiculed by the other apes, so it was better to follow Li Xinran outside to explore. Consequently, it finally consented.
Ye Liuyun helped Li Xinran sign a Master-Servant Contract with it, allowing Li Xinran to bring it into the Space World, and gave Li Xinran a Transformation Pill to give to the white ape so it could transform. He also instructed Li Xinran to supply the white ape with some pills that boost Bloodline Power and Primordial Power for cultivation.
"Thank you so much!" Li Xinran kept replying, repeatedly thanking Ye Liuyun.
So, Ye Liuyun directly handed the white ape over to Li Xinran.
With a new ape king in the herb field, no one cared where the old ape king had gone.
Ye Liuyun entered the herb field and looked around,
He discovered there were indeed many fine herbal materials, each quite large, some resembling small trees. Biquku
If these herbs left this environment, they probably wouldn't grow so large. Thus Ye Liuyun discussed with Qiong Qi, having Qiong Qi help set up additional Formations here to guard the herb field.
They continued deeper into the Secret Realm. If they could claim this Secret Realm, the herbs could continue to be cultivated here, entrusted to the apes for care.
If they failed to claim the Secret Realm, they would return to uproot all the herbs and let Shi Yuan bring all the apes here into the Space World.
Thus, Qiong Qi hurried to rearrange the Formations here again.
Ye Liuyun led everyone, but they did not enter the herb field valley, instead waiting outside for Shi Yuan.
After Shi Yuan entered, a giant ape presented a petrify herb to him as a tribute. Shi Yuan gladly accepted it; this item could definitely elevate his petrify power to the next level.
After strolling around, Shi Yuan made the apes here acquainted with him, then briefly bid them farewell and left the herb field valley.
After Ye Liuyun and the others departed, they immediately sent Shi Yuan back to his duplicate's Space World to refine the newly acquired Bloodline Power and the petrify herb.
Chi Lian then again wrapped around Bai Hu's neck; in future battles, she will specifically boost Bai Hu's Bloodline Power.
Ye Liuyun thought that handling them one by one was more effective than having the Monster Beasts take turns to boost. He let the other Monster Beasts not rush, each having a share. Chi Lian could also condense her own Bloodline in this process, and she was willing to help.
Thus in subsequent battles, Bai Hu always charged at the front line; regardless of realm, it would act, with absorbing Bloodline Power as its main task.
Long Nv, Zhu Que, Xiao Lan Bing, and Hunting Falcon were still fighting outside, all assisting Bai Hu in encircling Monster Beasts. The other Monster Beasts were temporarily cultivating inside the Space World.
Those who had reached the Unity Realm, Ye Liuyun also temporarily gathered them, only allowing Liao Tianyang, Black Tiger, and Black Mountain to protect the group; others would only be released when faced with foes that these could not stop.
Li Xinran felt that with the white ape, her harvest was already enormous and she was very content. Moreover, since her own strength was not great, she rarely acted in subsequent battles, merely following along to gain experience.
