At Sacred Battle Abode…

Qi Zhan closed his eyes and cultivated, understanding the concepts of the Battle Imperial Sutra.

Waves of energy swirled around his body, greatly increasing his aura.

Dazzling golden light radiated from within his body and interweaved with wisps of red divine light. It was spectacular.

Tremendous battle intent surged out like massive waves, shaking the entire land.

Qi Zhan was like the God of War incarnate. His aura was magnificent as if he wanted to battle the entire world.

But then, he frowned and muttered, “This doesn't make sense? Why am I still unable to understand the Battle Imperial Sutra's forbidden chapter?”

Qi Zhan possessed the bloodline of the Sacred Battle Ape. Therefore, he was able to quickly understand the Battle Imperial Sutra.

But no matter what, he was unable to decipher the forbidden chapter.

This was the most powerful part of the Battle Imperial Sutra. It could make him evolve!

But it was like a massive gulf, extremely difficult to cross!

Qi Zhan opened his eyes and scratched his ears and cheeks.

“Ancestor, this sutra is too difficult! I cannot understand it!”

Qi Zhan was extraordinary both in terms of innate talent and the ability to decipher things.

But one could not rely on innate talent and the ability to decipher things to understand the forbidden chapter!

The Sacred Battle Thearch was not surprised. The Battle Imperial Sutra was the most difficult legacy!

It was already amazing that Qi Zhan managed to cultivate this much in such a short time.

He smiled.

“Child, don't be so anxious. The forbidden chapter can only be activated by an invincible battle intent. You have the bloodline of the Sacred Battle Ape, but your battle intent is too weak!”

Realization dawned upon Qi Zhan. He hurriedly asked, “What should I do then?”

The Sacred Battle Thearch smiled. “If you want to master this quickly, you need to embrace the way of battle. Gain understanding through battle. Use battle intent to cleanse yourself!

“You can spar with that kid and use the battle to hone your battle intent.”

Qi Zhan shrank back the moment he heard that he was to spar with Shen Tian.

“No way! I will just be thrashed if I fight with Boss!

“Moreover, Boss is still cultivating. It won't be nice to disturb him…”

Qi Zhan was well aware of how terrifying Shen Tian's power was!

Even though he had learned the Battle Imperial Sutra, he was still not confident of holding himself against him.

Fight with Shen Tian? That's just asking for a beating!

The Sacred Battle Thearch looked annoyed.

“You are so cowardly!

“If you don't even dare to pit yourself against this kid, don't even think about learning the way of the battle!

“Anyway, this kid might not be able to beat you. After all, you possess my ultimate sutra. So even if you haven't understood its core essence, you should still be very powerful!

“And that kid cannot possibly have understood the sutra as much as you did. So you will definitely win!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch was full of confidence. Amongst all the Sacred Battle Apes from past to present, Qi Zhan's power was definitely not considered weak.

He was a peak Demon Venerable but could already display the battle prowess of a True Sage who had undergone five tribulations. He was a rare talent!

Why is this kid so cowardly? He doesn't even dare to spar with a human?

He was a disgrace to the Sacred Battle Ape bloodline.

Shen Tian was a human, and compared to a Sacred Battle Ape, it was a hundred times more difficult for him to decipher the Battle Imperial Sutra!

That was why the Sacred Battle Thearch had asked Qi Zhan to challenge Shen Tian.

The Sacred Battle Apes were rebellious in nature. How could one endure being under a human?

Qi Zhan shook his head. “My ancestor, you want me to fight with Boss? You might as well just kill me now!”

He was grumbling on the inside.

The way of the battle?

Previously, Great Thearch Huang Shi wanted me to embrace the way of the battle too… and I nearly lost my life!

It's not that I don't want to, but to fight Shen Tian…

No way!

The Sacred Battle Thearch sighed before rolling his eyes.

He mocked. “Never mind then if you don't want to fight this kid. I won't force you. I happen to have some free time now anyway. I can get in some practice with you!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch suggested that he sparred with Qi Zhan instead.

The corners of Qi Zhan's mouth twitched.

Ancestor, you must be joking!

You are a Thearch who has lived for goodness-knows how long!

You want to practice with a little junior?

Are you really that bored?

The Sacred Battle Thearch was indeed quite bored. He had been here for so many years, and things had gotten really dull.

He was the Sacred Battle Thearch and was naturally combative. However, he had not been able to fight for many years. He was really itching to do so!

Since someone had finally entered his place, there was no way he would let this opportunity go. He must drag someone over to loosen his limbs a little!

As if he could read Qi Zhan's thoughts, the Sacred Battle Thearch said comfortingly, “Don't worry, I will suppress my cultivation level to the same as yours. It will be a fair fight!”

Qi Zhan looked pained. “My ancestor, can we not fight?”

He did not trust the Sacred Battle Thearch's words at all!

No matter how he suppressed, he was still the divine consciousness of a Thearch!

How am I supposed to fight that?

The Sacred Battle Thearch shook his head resolutely. “No!”

“You must fight. Otherwise, how can you cultivate?

“Either you fight with that kid or with me. You can choose.”

The Sacred Battle Thearch did not allow Qi Zhan to reject him!

If he feared battles, then it was a complete waste of his Sacred Battle Ape bloodline.

Qi Zhan took a deep breath. He understood the Sacred Battle Thearch's intention. He had no choice but to fight this battle!

On one side was the freakish Boss. On the other side was the divine consciousness of a Thearch.

He had to make a smart choice!

Qi Zhan soon made his decision!

He stepped forward and cupped his hands together in respect. “I will have to trouble you then, ancestor!”

Shen Tian's powers were just too terrifying. He could hammer a Seven Tribulation Great Sage to death!

He would be completely defenseless against Shen Tian!

The Sacred Battle Thearch might be the divine consciousness of a Thearch, but he was willing to suppress himself to the same cultivation level.

He might be able to do something there.

On one side, there was clearly no chance at all. But, on the other hand, he would just end up enduring a thrashing.

On the other side, there might be a bit of hope. The choice was clear.

Well now! Between Shen Tian and I, you are willing to fight me instead?'

The Sacred Battle Thearch smirked when Qi Zhan chose him. But he was not angry.

Anyway, he had already achieved his goal. Next, he wanted to hone Qi Zhan's skills.

It didn't matter who the opponent was.

And he could finally enjoy a fight. Just the thought of it made him happy!

I have been so bored for the past 10,000 years. I finally have a chance to loosen my limbs!

“Ancestor, I look forward to your guidance!”

Qi Zhan's desire for battle lit up. He exuded a surging aura as he circulated his power to the maximum.

Beams of golden light radiated from his body. A sharp battle intent swirled endlessly around him. His aura was magnificent as if he was the God of War incarnate.

A dazzling divine light shone out of his eyes as he activated his Penetrating Insight, fixing them on the Sacred Battle Thearch!

Sacred Battle Apes had always been battle-hungry. They were proud and arrogant and had an extremely high thirst for battle.

Battles could ignite the aggression in their blood, enabling them to display very powerful battle prowess!

Moreover, this fellow before him was the Sacred Battle Thearch, a renowned practitioner in the Primordial Age. The chance to fight a Thearch at the same cultivation level was enough to make Qi Zhan's blood surge with excitement.

He also wanted to see just how wide the disparity was between them!

Qi Zhan attacked with full effort. He activated the Battle Imperial Sutra and charged toward the Sacred Battle Thearch!

He waved his fists as a faint reddish glow surrounded his body. It was like a divine ape was attacking. His strength was extremely potent!

“This is what a Sacred Battle Ape should be like!”

Smiling, the Sacred Battle Thearch remained motionless. Finally, he just raised one hand and smacked it toward Qi Zhan.

The ordinary-looking hand was full of fearsome power!

The fabrics of space shattered as the terrifying force surged past, leaving debris behind wherever it made contact!

The two attacks collided, and a boundless divine light erupted, covering the entire sky and blocking out the sun!

Qi Zhan was forced back, his eyes very grave.

His hands were trembling as if he had smashed them on a primordial divine metal. The impact sent painful vibrations down his body!

The Sacred Battle Thearch was like the galaxy beyond him—unreachable!

Even with the suppressed cultivation, the Thearch was still far from your usual ordinary practitioner.

But he held no fear. Instead, he waved his cudgel, which exuded waves of mighty energy!

Staff Subdues the Universe!

Qi Zhan struck out with all his might as his aura rose to the level of a Six Tribulation True Sage. The laws of nature went into disarray as his power shook the world!

The cudgel was a thousand feet high as if it was a sky pillar that could shatter the great earth!

Unfortunately, the Sacred Battle Thearch still destroyed the attack with a single smack.

The Sacred Battle Thearch said mildly, “Your battle intent and powers are too weak. As a result, you completely failed to capture the essence of this peerless technique.

“Child, let me show you the most powerful skill of my race!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch radiated with a golden glow which lit up the skies with a dazzling light.

At the same time, he was exuding a terrifying battle intent. It was like the Milky Way was descending. The aura was tremendous!

The Sacred Battle Thearch calmly reached out a fist, and all the power gathered there.

Space was compressed into a ball as all the power morphed into a massive fist of light, charging straight toward Qi Zhan!

“Ancestor, can you please don't be so aggressive?”

Qi Zhan's eyes widened as he hastily circulated all his power. He even activated his Battle Divine Armor!

However, before this indomitable battle intent, all was shattered!

Bam!

A loud boom sounded while dust and ash flew all over!

Qi Zhan crashed onto the ground, causing a huge puff of dust to swirl up. A huge crater appeared on the floor.

Qi Zhan was all covered in dust as he crawled out of the crater and hurriedly shouted. “Ancestor, stop the fight! Stop!

“I concede defeat!”

Qi Zhan looked very wretched and aggrieved.

I am so pitiful!

Why did I meet such an ancestor!

He is so merciless!

Why can't he show love and concern to his descendants?

The Sacred Battle Thearch's voice was as clear as the breeze.

“This is not up to you! How will you be motivated if I don't give you a bit of pressure?”

In the next instant, a dazzling light lit up the earth, completely sealing off this area. Boundless divine energy swirled endlessly around!

A golden divine light morphed into a colossal hand and dragged him into the space.

Qi Zhan quickly shook his head with a pained expression on his face. “Ancestor, please have mercy on me!

“I can eventually decipher the battle intent if I cultivate on my own!

“No, this way is faster!”

“Ah, no!”

“Don't worry. Your battle prowess will shoot up when you finally gain an invincible battle intent!”

“Ancestor, don't hit my face!”

Bam, bam, bam!

Pitiful shrieks echoed across the sky!

Shen Tian sat cross-legged, as stable as a mountain on a rock. He was not at all affected by any outside influence.

He was putting in all efforts to decipher the Battle Imperial Sutra.

The Sacred Battle Ape's legacy was very profound and complex.

It was very difficult to decipher the essence of the sutra without the Sacred Battle Ape bloodline.

Shen Tian soon realized the path to understanding this imperial sutra. It was battle intent!

Sacred Battle Apes had always held battle in high regard. One must cultivate this with battle intent.

With this key concept unlocked, everything became much easier.

Shen Tian radiated with a divine light, exuding waves and waves of energy and turning the natural arrays of the world soft and pliable.

Divine light swirled around, dazzling and mystical, surging into Shen Tian's body. It caused major vibrations down his entire body!

The formally complicated message had become very smooth and clear.

Shen Tian was completely immersed as his body automatically advanced the Battle Imperial Sutra!

A colossal figure appeared in his mind's eye. It was tens of thousands of feet tall and stood there with its chest proudly puffed out, roaring into the skies!

It was a mighty Sacred Battle Ape with a peerless divine staff in its hand.

The sun and moon dimmed as it roared. Then, with a wave of its hand, the stars in the galaxies all shattered!

The giant ape was shrouded in a dark red flaming aura. Its powerful battle intent was like a tsunami wave, surging and roiling, shaking the entire world!

Rebellious energy shot into the skies, disrupting the entire space as if it wanted to turn the world upside down.

Thumping his chest, he suddenly waved his huge staff. It was a mystical weapon and exuded very formidable energy!

The staff stretched up into the sky into the highest clouds, covering the earth for thousands of miles.

This staff could control the skies and seas, destroy the sun, moon, and stars!

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed!

The fabrics of space were utterly shattered, revealing an endless void. The laws of nature and arrays were completely destroyed!

All living beings in the world were annihilated. Only the giant ape remained standing!

Too fierce!

Shen Tian couldn't help shuddering at the sight!

But an expression of glee soon crossed his face.

Shen Tian realized that he had gained an in-depth understanding of battle intent after watching this magnificent scene.

His aura morphed as a powerful battle intent emerged and covered his entire body. It continued to strengthen.

Supported by this battle intent, Shen Tian's understanding of the Battle Imperial Sutra became deeper.

Three days later…

The golden light finally dissipated, and two figures slowly descended.

It was Qi Zhan and the Sacred Battle Thearch.

In the name of “training”, the two of them had been fighting for three days and three nights before stopping!

Although it was called a battle, it was actually a one-sided thrashing!

Qi Zhan's face was all swollen, and he looked very pathetic.

The good thing was his golden aura was now covered by a dark red divine glow. His battle intent had also gotten more vibrant.

The Sacred Battle Thearch nodded. “Not bad. You were able to gain quite a bit of ground with the Battle Imperial Sutra's forbidden chapter in just three days.”

“It's all thanks to you!”

“Child, no need to thank me. This is what I should do.”

The Sacred Battle Thearch patted Qi Zhan on the shoulder and walked to the side, feeling very satisfied.

Qi Zhan was left alone, looking rather teary-eyed and pathetic.

Over the past three days, he had been totally trampled by the Sacred Battle Thearch.

The good thing was that Qi Zhan's battle intent had been strengthened. He had even managed to make good progress deciphering the Battle Imperial Sutra's forbidden chapter—Battle Blood Burns the Sky!

This was a peerless technique that could greatly enhance one's power by burning the battle blood in one's body!

The more powerful one's battle intent was, the more powerful their battle prowess would be!

If Qi Zhan could successfully activate this technique, he could instantly double his power and subdue a Six Tribulation True Sage!

This increase in his powers was the silver lining in the cloud!

Even though he had to endure a vicious thrashing, Qi Zhan did not harbor any grudge.

He knew that the Sacred Battle Thearch had done that for his own good.

Yeap, it's definitely not because I can't beat him!

“It has been three days. I wonder if Boss has awakened from his seclusion.”

Qi Zhan turned and saw that Shen Tian was still in seclusion.

“Eh, this fellow looks somewhat different!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch looked shocked.

In his eyes, Shen Tian was not a Sacred Battle Ape and would not be able to decipher much. He should not need that much time to cultivate. He should have woken up long ago!

However, Shen Tian had spent three whole days deciphering. It was not normal.

At that moment, Shen Tian finally moved!

He opened his eyes, which emitted a dazzling divine glow.

Those eyes were very profound, as if they encompassed the entire universe, sparkling like the stars in the galaxy.

Shen Tian suddenly radiated with robust battle intent. It surged like the Milky Way, shooting straight into the heavens!

The terrifying battle intent burned and morphed into a dark red flame. It engulfed his body, making his aura formidable beyond imagination.

Suddenly the dark red flame incinerated the fabrics of space as if it was a divine fire. Its power was extremely fearsome!

Qi Zhan was full of awe. “This battle intent… So scary!”

He realized that Shen Tian's battle intent was even more powerful than his!

Qi Zhan was stunned. He was a Sacred Battle Ape and naturally had an extraordinarily powerful battle intent, but he was now inferior to a human?

You must be kidding me!

Who the hell is the Sacred Battle Ape?

And this was just the beginning.

Shen Tian's aura swirled as a divine light radiated from his body, forming a colossal figure behind him.

It was a mighty Sacred Ape. It exuded a ferocious aura, making the earth and universe tremble!

The appearance of the Sacred Battle Ape avatar created boundless divine energy, which turned the world upside down!

A staff appeared in Shen Tian's hands, which complemented his dark red battle intent. It made his aura extremely terrifying!

He exuded a limitless divine aura as he waved the staff, causing the earth to shake and tremble!

In that instant, the fabrics of space shattered into nothing. All was turned to dust!

This aura was like a full-on attack of a Great Sage!

The Sacred Battle Thearch was shocked.

“He managed to increase his battle prowess by six times?

“And he managed to learn the Sky-Lifting SeSteering Technique!

“How is that possible?

“He is just a junior. How did he manage to reach this level in just three days?”

The Sacred Battle Thearch was the second Sacred Battle Ape in this world, and he had a thorough understanding of this sutra.

The Sacred Battle Ape bloodline was a creation of natural forces. They were touted as the descendants of destiny!

This bloodline had always been very powerful. They did not have many weaknesses and revered the way of the battle!

The first Sacred Battle Ape had been born in the Antiquity Age. He had been an ultimate existence.

He was the first ancestor of the Sacred Battle Apes. He was extremely powerful and could even defy the heavens.

Even amongst the many mighty practitioners present in the Antiquity Age, he had been considered one of the top.

He had used the Sky-Lifting SeSteering Technique to dominate over everyone, building a fearsome reputation for his bloodline, which lasted for tens of thousands of years!

And this staff technique could only be executed when one had completely learned the Battle Imperial Sutra's forbidden chapter!

The Sacred Battle Thearch could feel that Shen Tian's staff technique still did not possess any Dharmic energy.

This meant that Shen Tian had yet to undergo tribulation to become a Sage.

He possessed this level of battle prowess even though he was not a Sage yet? He was a freak of nature!

The Sacred Battle Thearch subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

He glanced at Qi Zhan and then at Shen Tian. He finally realized why this kid was so afraid.

He would rather fight me than Shen Tian!

If I was his age, I might have made the same choice!

No choice. This freak is just mind-blowing!

The Sacred Battle Thearch snorted. “Little ape, look at him and then at yourself!

“You both cultivated the Battle Imperial Sutra. Why is the disparity between you two so great?

“Kid, you are a disgrace to our noble Sacred Battle Ape bloodline!

“Your battle prowess is only mediocre. So embarrassing!

“Hurry up, I need to continue training you!”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became!

The Sacred Battle Thearch could not bear it anymore. He picked Qi Zhan up and walked toward the void.

He had to train this descendant properly!

He could not let this kid tarnish the good name of the Sacred Battle Apes!

Qi Zhan was dazed.

“???”

Ancestor, are you sure you are training me/

You just want to give me a beating!

Why must you compare me to Boss?

In front of Boss, I am a useless piece of trash!

Please have mercy!

Qi Zhan struggled wildly, but the Sacred Battle Thearch did not give him any leeway.

Golden light covered the earth, which rippled with every single shriek.

The two apes left. Shen Tian scratched his head.

Brother Qi has not completed his training yet!

He is indeed a Sacred Battle Ape. So hardworking!

Brother Qi, all the best!

I will be here cheering you on!
