Chapter 285: Stage Ten! The Ultimate Battlefield!

Without any hesitation, he and the five divine generals turned into several long rainbows, rushing straight toward the source of the energy burst.

A moment later, the shattered wasteland above was filled with a grim battlefield scene.

Only to see the young hero Dou Tianxiong leading Dou Tianshu, the War Prince, and five or six other Ape Clan Heavenly Prides, being surrounded on all sides by three squads whose numbers far exceeded theirs, launching a frenzied assault!

Those three squads exuded fierce and powerful auras.

One squad was wrapped in dazzling golden light, its wings spread to block the sun, and it was the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan!

At its head stood a youth with a cold, sharp face and eyes like a heavenly blade, his aura ancient and mighty, an Ancient Freak of a certain era of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, named Hun Wang!

Another squad's bodies twisted like dragons and snakes, emanating a devouring force, the Sun‑devouring Teng Snake Clan!

Its leader, Teng Wuxin, wore a cold expression; as his serpentine tongue flickered, even the Void twisted.

The final squad was ferocious, its scorpion tail hooked and flashing a ghostly blue poison light, the notorious Shi Tian Mingxie Clan!

Its leader, Ming Jiuyue, let out a blood‑thirsty cackle, his gaze at the ape tribe as if eyeing a delicious blood feast.

These three clans had clearly colluded long ago; now they joined forces to completely trap the Holy War Heavenly Ape Clan's squad here!

"Dou Tianxiong! Today is your death day! This place shall be your burial ground!"

Hun Wang's voice was icy, full of confidence.

They were fully prepared, superior in strength, believing victory was theirs.

"Heh, mere apes dare to clash with us? Die!" Teng Wuxin sneered repeatedly.

"Hey… the flesh of the ape tribe, brimming with power, must… be delicious…" Ming Jiuyue's scorpion tail twitched, poison mist spreading.

At the battlefield's center, the young hero went full‑power, completely berserk!

His body swelled, transforming into a towering silver giant ape—the unrivaled Ape God True Form!

Battle fervor surged to the heavens, killing intent shook the firmament!

A ruyi‑shaped divine bamboo in his hand swept all directions, reverberating through the Zhutian Huanyu!

His bravery was unmatched; with his own might he forced the suppression of Hun Wang and the other two terrifying masters.

He even, in a single strike, ripped the Sun‑devouring Teng Snake's scales apart, and with a kick sent the Shi Tian Mingxie's poisonous blood spewing wildly!

However, his personal valor could not make up for the overall strength gap.

Hun Wang, Teng Wuxin, and Ming Jiuyue—each a formidable power; though one‑on‑one they might be slightly weaker than the young hero, the three together, coordinated seamlessly, ensnared him tightly.

On the other side, the War Prince, Dou Tianshu and others fell into a hard fight.

Each faced enemies several times their number: the Golden-Winged Great Peng's terrifying might, the Sun‑devouring Teng Snake's bizarre devouring power, and the Shi Tian Mingxie's lethal poison.

Two Ape Clan Heavenly Prides had already been gravely wounded, their blood staining their fur, and were eliminated, teleporting away.

The remaining few were also clearly suppressed; the situation was dire, with death looming at any moment.

"Ah…" the young hero's eyes widened, trying to break through and rescue, but Hun Wang's three blocked him completely.

"Dou Tianxiong, you can't even protect yourself, yet still want to save others?" Hun Wang sneered, golden feathers slicing out countless blades.

At this critical moment—

"Hmph!"

A cold snort, like thunder from the Nine Heavens, suddenly cracked across the battlefield!

Immediately, a vast, domineering terrifying aura erupted, like billions of volcanoes erupting simultaneously, booming down!

Boom—!

A Six Paths figure descended like a meteor, landing directly in the battlefield's core!

At its head, a black‑robed hunter stood tall, eyes indifferent—Ye Wuque!

Behind him, the five great followers—Wolf God, Barbarian God, Sparrow God, Horse God, and Tiger God—burst forth like five revived Primordial Overlord Tiger demons, instantly locking onto the three‑clan alliance!

This sudden turn of events silenced the raging battlefield.

"Lord Ye! It's Lord Ye! He's finally here!!" Dou Tianshu was the first to recognize Ye Wuque, shouting with ecstatic joy, nearly to tears!

"Hahaha! Big brother's here!!" The young hero's spirit surged, laughing wildly, his ruyi bamboo swinging even more ferociously, instantly pushing back the three attackers by several steps.

The other ape clan Heavenly Prides on the brink also instantly showed a glimmer of hope born from desperation!

The arrival of Ye Wuque and his companions was like a ladle of cold water poured into a scorching oil pot, instantly upsetting the battlefield's balance!

"Five divine generals, cleanse the field, leave none." Ye Wuque said calmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"As you command!"

Wolf God let out a long howl, turning into silver lightning that struck the Golden-Winged Great Peng flock!

Barbarian God roared, his flesh swelling, charging straight into the Teng Snake formation; wherever his fists and palms passed, flesh flew everywhere!

Sparrow God spread wings, turning southern bright fire into a towering sea of flame, engulfing the Shi Tian Mingxie!

Horse God whinnied, sacred light rained down, healing the ape tribe's wounded, while his wings flapped, each beam of holy light slicing like swords!

Tiger God roared, the ferocity of the Primordial Overlord Tiger exploding, slashing at the three outer clan beings!

The five great warriors unleashed full power, storming into the battlefield's center, instantly turning the three‑clan alliance upside down!

Ye Wuque's gaze fell directly on the three main leaders—Hun Wang, Teng Wuxin, and Ming Jiuyue.

Hun Wang, startled and angry, first fixed his eyes on Hu Xiaozhou, shouting fiercely, "Hu Xiaozhou! As the Young Master of the Primordial Overlord Tiger, your noble bloodline, how could you submit to a mere human ant? Become a mount? You have utterly disgraced the face of the Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan!"

Hu Xiaozhou's expression remained unchanged, a low growl replying, "Hun Wang, you damned fool, what do you know?! The master's greatness is beyond your comprehension!"

By now, Hu Xiaozhou truly followed Ye Wuque with his heart, captivated by his strength and charisma, with no second thoughts.

He had even quietly resolved to lead the entire Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan to befriend Ye Wuque.

Hun Wang then glared at Ye Wuque, murderous intent surging, "You are the human scum of Huntian who killed our clan's supreme forbidden monster, the mixed‑heaven one, at the Great Beast Summit! Very well, today old grudges and new, all shall be settled! Die for me!"

He no longer paid attention to Hu Xiaozhou; his golden wings flared, turning into a sky‑rending golden light, moving at ultimate speed, claws extending, containing the terrifying power to shred the Ten Thousand Realms, aiming straight for Ye Wuque's head!

It was the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan's ultimate technique—Heavenly Swan Claw!

With this strike, he gave his all, confident that even a peer Ancient Freak must be treated with caution.

However, faced with this strike that was as swift as a racing thunderbolt and unmatched in ferocity, Ye Wuque didn't even move a foot.

He simply lifted his right hand slowly, his five fingers loosely curled, and then, casually… gave a light forward slap!

It was just that simple, plain and unadorned palm strike that flew out.

But at the instant that palm was released, the Mixed King's sneering grin froze instantly, replaced by an extreme shock and disbelief!

He felt he was not confronting a palm, but an endless ancient starry sky, vast and boundless, surging down in a massive wave! Unstoppable! Crushing the withered and the rotten!

All speed, all strength, all divine abilities lost their meaning before this palm!

"This is impossible!!"

The Mixed King, horrified, let out a startled cry!

Boom—!!!

The Golden Great Hand Seal collided brazenly with the Heavenly Peng Claw!

The Mixed King's twin claws, capable of tearing ancient stars apart, erupted with a thunderous blast the instant they touched the Golden Great Hand!

His protective divine light shattered around him like paper, and his whole body was struck head‑on by an ancient great star, spewing blood wildly, flung backward at a speed faster than before, crashing hard into a distant mountain, which roared and collapsed, burying him!

One palm! Just a casual palm!

The Mixed King, an Ancient Freak of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan, was gravely wounded and defeated!

Crushed forcefully by Ye Wuque's casual palm!
