The Taikoo Demonic Ape is an extremely powerful ancient demon race within the Taikoo Divine Mountain. They are considered a top-tier race there. Furthermore, those revered as ancestors by supreme cultivators are highly likely to be top-tier great demons at the Quasi-Emperor level. The Quasi-Emperor realm represents the pinnacle powerhouses of the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Jiang Li's current location, the Ancient Demon Mausoleum, is undoubtedly extremely perilous, especially with the Taikoo Demonic Ape bloodline imprint on him. He is essentially a target here.
It appears a change of plans is necessary. He must first go to the Fire Cloud Valley to obtain the Emperor Spirit Nectar. This bloodline imprint is too dangerous to keep. Anyway, Chu Feng cannot possibly take away the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique yet. According to Chu Feng's life script, he will only arrive in more than two months. Jiang Li can first obtain the Emperor Spirit Nectar and return after the current commotion dies down.
Jiang Li made his decision instantly.
Following that, Jiang Li swiftly flew towards the Fire Cloud Valley in the Taikoo Divine Mountain.
The Ancient Demon Mausoleum was still experiencing immense tremors. The massive golden pillar of light in the sky released a powerful aura, as if intending to suppress everything. As the aura spread, the formations surrounding the Ancient Demon Mausoleum began to shatter. Many Taikoo demons were easily torn apart by this overwhelming aura. Those Taikoo demons at the Supreme realm desperately resisted the encroaching forces.
"Rumble!!!"
A quarter of an hour later, a powerful fluctuation occurred in space, and a wizened old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks appeared outside the Ancient Demon Mausoleum. The old man lightly pressed his dry right hand, and the violent aura surrounding the Ancient Demon Mausoleum slowly subsided and became calm.
"What happened!" The old man's calm gaze fixed on the scene within the Ancient Demon Mausoleum. He sensed a faint fluctuation of a bloodline imprint nearby, but it seemed to have vanished. Was it a hallucination? the old man mused, but he paid it no mind, focusing his attention on the events unfolding in the Ancient Demon Mausoleum.
The golden pillar of light in the sky continued to release an incredibly violent aura, forming a massive vortex.
"Reporting to Ancestor, it seems a human cultivator has intruded into the Ancient Demon Mausoleum and entered the Emperor's Tomb of the Black Dragon Great Emperor!" a trembling supreme expert said beside him. It turned out this old man was an ancestor of the Taikoo Demonic Ape clan.
"Oh, someone actually managed to break in there. Interesting!" the old man said indifferently, appearing unconcerned.
The surroundings were already in disarray. With the suppression of the Demonic Ape Ancestor, the surrounding Taikoo demon warriors slowly began to clean up the chaos.
"Ancestor, with such a change happening inside now, could it be that *that thing* is about to appear..." the supreme expert beside him said, seemingly recalling something.
A flicker of eagerness flashed in the Demonic Ape Ancestor's eyes. Such a grand display suggested that the Emperor Weapon of the Black Dragon Great Emperor might be emerging.
"Hmph, that is the Emperor Weapon of my Taikoo Demonic Dragon clan. What do you want..." At this moment, a heavy and domineering voice sounded from not far away.
...
Taikoo Divine Mountain.
Fire Cloud Valley.
After two hours, Jiang Li finally arrived at the Fire Cloud Valley. The Fire Cloud Valley was located in the eastern outer region of the Taikoo Divine Mountain. Due to vast lava flows deep within the Fire Cloud Valley, the clouds above it were dyed blood-red by the scorching heat of the lava.
Following the guidance of the Nightmare Beast, Jiang Li quickly sped towards the location of the Emperor Spirit Nectar. He encountered many powerful demonic beasts and various formidable exotic creatures along the way, all of whom were easily killed by Jiang Li's incredibly strong physical power. Although the Taikoo Divine Mountain imposed significant suppression on spiritual and mental energy, it was not entirely impossible to use them; their effectiveness and power were merely greatly diminished.
"Master, the Emperor Spirit Nectar is just ahead!" the Nightmare Beast, having transformed into a crow, said, looking at the mountain valley deep within Fire Cloud Mountain.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up, staring intently ahead. A scorching aura permeated the surroundings. Deep within the valley lay a vast amount of lava, almost completely blocking all access. The extreme temperature made the entire space feel as if it were about to melt. Jiang Li, protected by his primordial flame and possessing immense physical strength, feared no inferno.
"Gurgle, gurgle!!!"
Just as Jiang Li was about to proceed further, the lava suddenly began to boil. Something terrifying seemed to be stirring within the lava, causing it to churn. Lava, carrying extreme temperatures, splattered everywhere, and wherever it landed, it brought a searing heat that seemed capable of melting anything. The nearby rocks smoked white as they were affected by the lava.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo!!!"
Jiang Li willed it, and the Nether Sun Divine Flame appeared beside him, forming a powerful protective layer of primordial flame around his body. The Void Heaven Divine Armor also exuded a terrifying aura, shielding him from the rampaging lava.
"Master, it might be a Molten Giant Demon. When Mo Yun and I came here before, we also encountered one. But don't worry, it's just a Molten Giant Demon at the Great Sage realm. With your strength, Master, you can definitely kill it with ease!" the Nightmare Beast continued.
A Molten Giant Demon? Jiang Li's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed his powerful mental energy. However, due to the restrictions of the Taikoo Divine Mountain's rules, his originally formidable mental energy was severely weakened, only able to sense energy fluctuations within a few hundred meters.
"Roar, roar, roar!!!"
Soon, a colossal roar emerged from beneath the lava. Following that, two Molten Giant Demons, immense in size and terrifying in appearance, slowly crawled out of the lava, their gazes fixed directly on Jiang Li, as if intending to tear him to shreds.
"My goodness, they are indeed at the Great Sage realm, but their aura has already reached the Supreme realm."
"Cough, cough, when Mo Yun and I came here, they were only at the Great Sage realm. But with your strength, Master, you can easily kill even Supreme beings!" the Nightmare Beast slowly added. Having said that, it immediately burrowed into Jiang Li's body. This level of battle was not something it could participate in.
Jiang Li ignored the Nightmare Beast, took a deep breath, and focused all his attention on the two Molten Giant Demons. Here, both spiritual and mental energy were severely suppressed. Jiang Li could only rely on his physical strength to kill these two Molten Giant Demons.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
Jiang Li activated the surging blood energy within his body, and the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison technique was pushed to its extreme. It was as if countless divine elephants were roaring within Jiang Li's body, and a formidable aura emanated from him. The surging blood energy of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body and the Heaven Dominating Body seemed capable of suppressing all.
