However, his attack did not reach 9.
When the dust dissipated, only a huge pit appeared in front of Mei Changge.
“Is he dead?”
Mei Changge had a puzzled expression, but soon, he heard a sound.
Suddenly, a scream came from the deep pit, but there was no one.
The strange voice sounded again.
“Power of the Mountain God! Suppress!”
Behind Mei Changge, the shadow of a mountain instantly began to gather and gradually condense.
The rate at which the mountain took shape was incredibly swift, reaching nearly 300 feet in height. Furthermore, before Mei Changge could react, the mountain descended from above his head. “Seal! Suppress!”
“Mountain Ghost Devour Array, devour it!”
The mountain crashed down with a resounding impact, leaving Mei Changge no time to respond. Beneath King Mandrill’s skill, intricate true array patterns emerged on the mountain’s surface, emitting a faint white glow.
This array formation was the one inscribed on the Mountain Ghost Pillar that Kui Xing had provided to the Mandrill Guards.
The main material of the pillar might look like it was made of stone, but the real material was the trunk of the Giant War Trees.
That’s right, it was the Giant War Tree that the Forest race had once commanded—the Giant War Trees that could not break through to the Transcendent realm.
Back then, King Mandrill discovered that these Giant War Trees could be controlled by the tree core and could store unique power.
Moreover, he happened to own a formation called the Mountain Ghost Devour Array.
It could devour Destiny and store it in the trunk of the Giant War Trees.
At that moment, although the mountain condensed by King Mandrill could not store Destiny, it suppressed Mei Changge and 9 to the ground with a sealing and suppressive force.
That’s right, 9 was not dead. At that moment, he was in the same situation as Mei Changge. However, when he was struck to the ground by King Mandrill, he felt the feeling of death and directly burrowed underground.
This vessel of his was currently the most satisfactory work.
With the human Transcendent serving as its base and the refined Mandrill race bloodline, not only did it possess 70% of the Mandrill bloodline, but it could also harness the capacities of the human physique to forge a divine power tailored to this vessel.
Divine arts—crushing Mountains!
Mei Changge did not expect King Mandrill, who had been cooperating with him just now, to attack him in an instant.
However, if Mei Changge were in King Mandrill’s shoes, he would also attack immediately.
“But why is the mountain formed by King Mandrill hollow inside?”
Mei Changge looked around, his eyes flickering.
He did not have the entire mountain pressing down on him. He felt that the mountain was like a cave.
“Because it wants to absorb the power of Destiny in our bodies.”
At that moment, a pair of light red and green eyes emerged from the darkness. In the next second, a familiar figure appeared in front of Mei Changge.
“You’re not dead?”
Mei Changge’s eyes were solemn as he stared at 9.
One had to know that 9 had taken King Mandrill’s two divine arts head-on, but from the looks of it, he was fine.
Pfftt!
As soon as Mei Changge finished speaking, 9 spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.
“I won’t die for the time being, but when the destiny of both of us is completely absorbed, it will probably be time for us to die.”
9 smiled and said to Mei Changge.
“Is that so?”
Mei Changge’s gaze remained resolute. He sensed a force attempting to attach to his body, yet he felt that this force was somehow impeded by something and had no effect on him.
“Want to work together? Let’s deal with King Mandrill first. Then, the two of us will decide the victor.”
9 sized up Mei Changge. He suddenly realized that Mei Changge’s appearance was much more handsome than his vessel.
“Not interested.”
Mei Changge held the Myriad Lotus Spear in his hand, his eyes revealing a trace of fighting spirit.
Now that King Mandrill was no longer interfering, Mei Changge recognized that it was the ideal moment to confront the Thousand Heads race before him. What’s more, this mountain had entrapped them, leaving 9 with no means of escape.
As for Mei Changge, he felt that he could easily rush out of the mountain with the White Jade Spirit Body.
On the outside…
Xu Chu’s eyes were solemn when he saw Mei Changge being suppressed by a
huge mountain. However, he did not rush toward King Mandrill. As a soldier, he could sense that Mei Changge was not injured at all.
Apart from that, it was because he saw a familiar figure.
A wolf with snow-white fur appeared in the sky.
“Snow Wolf?”
A look of surprise flashed across Xu Chu’s eyes. He hadn’t noticed when the Snow Wolf had followed them to Mandrill City.
Howl.
With a roar, Snow Wolf nodded at Xu Chu before looking at King Mandrill.
Howl. (Where should I start?)
At that moment, the Snow Wolf seemed to treat King Mandrill as its prey. It even tilted its head as if it was considering where to bite.
Observing the Snow Wolf before him, which had its head cocked to the side and wasn’t even as thick as his thigh, King Mandrill quipped that he could slay it and fashion a scarf from its fur.
The appearance of the Snow Wolf made Xu Chu feel relieved. After all, he felt that the Snow Wolf was stronger than him.
Furthermore, the Snow Wolf jumped out at this moment, clearly asking Xu Chu to hand King Mandrill to him.
“All of you, go and check out that mountain. The lord should be trapped inside.”
Xu Chu waved his hand behind him, indicating for a group of the Golden Crow Guards to head to the mountain that had suddenly formed outside Mandrill
City.
At that moment, the battle on the battlefield had reached its climax.
10,000 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry went up against 5,000 Mandrill Guards.
Both sides sustained losses. Nevertheless, the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry’s battle intensified, particularly with Xu Ding in the vanguard. His saber would periodically unleash streaks of pale white spiritual energy, resembling crescent moons.
Song Yubai and the others were in charge of dealing with the Mandrill race and other foreign races with their soldiers.
However, Lin Zifeng and the others did not notice those foreign races and one of the leaders had retrieved a pale golden incense stick.
A strange fragrance spread in all directions.
Even Li Xin, who had a knack for noticing things that often went unnoticed by others, failed to pick up on it.
After all, the smell of blood was stronger on the battlefield, so no one noticed the strange smell.
In the sky, King Mandrill looked at the Snow Wolf in front of him with curiosity.
Because he sensed a Transcendent aura from it.
Also, it was not an ordinary Transcendent. It was at the same level as him.
Transcendent Level 8.
Howl!
However, before he could speak, the Snow Wolf instantly pounced forward.
Whoosh!
King Mandrill was stunned. A look of disbelief flashed across his eyes.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest.
A cross-claw mark appeared on his chest, and blood dripped down the wound.
This made King Mandrill furious again.
“Does my chest hold a grudge against you? The curse is here. 9 is also fixated on it. And now, even a wolf is assaulting it.”
“Scram!”
An aura erupted from King Mandrill’s body. With a wave of his hand, he formed a black spiritual energy handprint that slapped at Snow Wolf.
However, Snow Wolf easily dodged it, and a hint of intelligence flashed across its eyes.
How! (That’s it?)
It was unclear whether King Mandrill comprehended its reply, but the large black spiritual energy handprint seemed to configure into a vast net, persistently lashing out at the Snow Wolf. At times, the spiritual energy handprints even integrated divine arts as if trying to deceive the Snow Wolf.
Unfortunately, the Snow Wolf was like a top dancer, elegantly dodging the attacks.
The Snow Wolf held back King Mandrill, and in the mountain, the battle had silently ended.
“You are sly!”
9’s eyes were filled with disbelief as he pointed at Mei Changge.
At that moment, his eyes turned white as if it had just experienced something.
When Mei Changge was about to deal with 9, the Thousand Heads Lotus Seed suddenly sent a message into his mind.
“Do you want to continue devouring the Thousand Heads?”
This message conveyed to Mei Changge that the Thousand Heads Lotus Seed could continue consuming the soul power of the Thousand Heads race. As long as it absorbed a certain amount, the lotus seed would consolidate into a most suitable vessel.
Mei Changge knew that once the lotus seed took shape, he would have an additional clone.
Moreover, this clone was akin to an avatar of the foreign race.
This also made some of his thoughts active, but he was quickly attracted by the information in his mind.
This also stirred some of his contemplations, but he was rapidly drawn back into the information contained in his mind.
Mei Changge’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He did not expect the Thousand Heads race’s weakness to be so obvious.
Or rather, the Thousand Heads race did not have any resistance in front of him..
