Chapter 180: Holy War Heavenly Ape!

A golden stream of light was seen frantically fleeing through the starry sky, extremely fast, dragging a long tail of flame.

Within that light, a nimble ape‑being with golden fur could be vaguely seen, his face showing unhidden panic and distress, occasionally looking back, as if pursued by some terrifying Dark Being.

Behind him was a mighty, imposing pursuit squad!

Numbering in the dozens, each exuded a fierce aura, varied in form, but most retained partial beast traits, clearly all ferocious beast races.

They spread out in a fan, like a hunt, leisurely chasing, uttering various mocking jeers and howls, as if a cat toying with a mouse, relishing the Dark Hunter's death‑struggle.

The leader was a dog‑headed humanoid being.

He was tall, covered in dark cyan scale armor, his dog head ferocious, fangs bared, his dog eyes blood‑red, exuding an extreme bloodthirsty, mad aura, the most domineering in the squad.

"Hey! Little monkey ahead! Stop running! Hand over that treasure you stole from the Meteor Ancient Cave! We're in a good mood—maybe we'll leave you a whole corpse! Hahaha!"

One being shouted arrogantly, eliciting a chorus of laughter.

The War Prince's gaze narrowed, looking at the dog‑headed leader, he spoke solemnly:

"My lord, the leader should be a being of the Mad Dog Clan."

"This clan is the strongest branch of the dog‑bloodline, violent and murderous; once they see blood or fall into desperation they easily go totally mad, their combat power soars, they grow braver with each fight—true battle maniacs—and their fearsome reputation is not small in the Wasteland Heaven."

Ye Wuque nodded, but his gaze fell more on the panicked ape‑being fleeing ahead, his eyes holding a hint of profundity and an almost imperceptible strange hue.

He faintly felt that the ape‑being's aura was not as simple as it seemed; beneath the panic lay a hint of… composure?

Just as the pursuit squad was about to close in, the dog‑headed leader grinningly extended his claws, ready to seize the exhausted ape‑being in one move——

An abrupt change occurred!

The golden ape‑being that had been desperately fleeing suddenly halted without warning, hovering silently in the starry sky.

He slowly turned around; the panic and distress on his face vanished instantly!

In its place appeared a mocking, icy arc at the corner of his mouth.

In those once lively eyes burst forth a fervor as hot as molten lava and as sharp as a Divine Weapon!

"Huh?"

The Mad Dog Clan chieftain's claws hung in midair; a flicker of doubt crossed his dog eyes before turning into greater cruelty.

"What? You've given up struggling, preparing to die?"

But what answered him was a surge like a volcano slumbering for myriad ages suddenly erupting with the aura of fighting heaven and earth, invincible divine might, majestic supreme, the ultimate bloodline!

Boom——!!!

The golden fur on the ape‑being's body had vanished at some point, replaced by a fierce silver radiance that spans heaven and earth, illuminating past and present, mingled with ancient and overbearing battle intent, like a cosmic storm, centered on the ape‑being, it swept forth violently!

The starry sky trembled, and distant stellar fragments shattered under this pressure!

An aura supreme over all beings, as if born for war and existing for battle, enveloped a radius of tens of millions of li of starry sky!

Thud!

Thud!

Among the pursuit squad, the weaker malevolent spirits, facing this sudden terrifying aura, had no strength to resist; instantly their faces turned ashen as paper, legs went weak, they collapsed to their knees, bodies uncontrollably shuddering violently, teeth chattering!

A being with somewhat broader experience, exerting all his strength, let out a desperate and terrified scream!

"You... you are not... an ordinary being of the Blazing Fire Golden Ape Clan!"

"This... this bloodline aura... you... you are... Holy War Heavenly Ape!!"
