Perfect World

Chapter 700: Chapter 700 Magic Immunity
 

Nine-headed Ape Demon, physically robust, now emitting a dark light, their bodies becoming translucent as they pursued the ultimate art of corporeal refinement, exuding a terrifying aura.

Whoosh!

In a blink of an eye, they pounced forward, displaying astonishing Physical Techniques, aiming to Suppression Kill Shi Hao.

The next moment, Shi Hao acted, stowing Yun Xi into a radiant purple bone cauldron to eliminate worries from behind, then fully engaged these opponents with all his might.

Bang!

A loud clash resounded as his fist collided with the palm of an Ape Demon, the Astral winds howled, sweeping the airwaves sky-high, shaking the entire Ancient Battlefield.

This was a Divine Fire Realm Ape Demon, specializing in Physical Techniques, with a physical strength beyond imagination!

Yet, Shi Hao endured this strike, unfazed, hair fluttering, eyes gleaming, as surges of blood energy roared within him.

“So strong!” The Ape Demon roared, finding this unimaginable.

The next moment, demonic energy surged to the heavens, the other eight Ape Demons arrived, exerting every effort to Suppression Kill; a bloody battle ensued.

As formidable as Shi Hao was, he was trapped in a perilous situation, not a battle of Mana, but even so, it was a fight to the death.

His body was truly fearsome, having reached The Extreme Hundred Thousand Jin Boundary, such that even facing Divine Fire Level powerhouses, he showed no fear, yet these nine-headed Ape Demons were extraordinarily along the same ultimate corporeal path.

Nine bodies, terrifying and in the Divine Fire Realm, would represent a nightmare for anyone else, impossible to defeat.

Shi Hao, too, found himself in a dangerous predicament.

With just one exchange, his blood energy surged tumultuously, because all nine Ape Demons struck at once, and despite his speed, he couldn’t block everything, taking a punch!

This wasn’t like a battle of Mana where characters fill the sky, blocking swathes of attacks; this was a carnal combat.

His realm was too low, managing to block like this was already a miracle!

“Kill!”

Shi Hao’s speed increased, showcasing the Ground Shrinking Technique, although characters were ineffective on the opponents and were immunized, he could still enhance his own speed, etc.

In this life or death struggle, he held nothing back, his blood energy robust, bringing him to a boiling point.

Dong!

After hundreds of rounds, a sparkle erupted in Shi Hao’s eyes, he punched out with speed brought to its limits, targeting one elderly Ape Demon to Suppression Kill.

In earlier confrontations against fierce creatures like Archaic Golden Crow and Red Cloud Bird, this elder Ape Demon was the most injured, its combat ability greatly reduced, now becoming Shi Hao’s target.

Bang!

Despite enduring a palm, two punches, and three claws from other Ape Demons, blood splattering everywhere, Shi Hao continued relentlessly, reaching right before this elderly Ape Demon.

His fist glowed, transparent and tinged with pale gold, strength pushed to the limits, striking out thunderously.

Crack!

When the elder Ape tried blocking, its arm bone broke, blasted away by that punch.

Shi Hao leaped, launching a killing blow, tensing his muscles, his right arm slicing down like a sword, decapitating the elder Ape, black blood spewing high.

“Ooh…”

The other eight fiendish apes screamed, the battle becoming more ferocious than before.

“Kill!”

At one hundred and fifty rounds, Shi Hao shouted lightly, punching through another Ape Demon’s chest, bringing forth a massive spray of blood, killing it on the spot. However, he also suffered two claws’ wounds, his blood drenched, a blur.

…

By the three hundredth round, Shi Hao kicked, as if a whip, hitting an Ape Demon’s head, exploding it like a watermelon, utterly ruined.

It was a fierce battle, Shi Hao was bloodied all over, every enemy he killed brought him injuries as well.

Comparatively, the first Ape Demon he encountered upon entering this ancient battlefield was definitely the weakest; the other eight were much more powerful.

Clearly, that one had already been killed earlier in the fierce battle.

In the end, Shi Hao was covered in blood, although severely injured, he never fell, making the remaining Ape Demons tremble.

…

Not knowing how long had passed, Yun Xi felt a jolt in her body, breaking free from the radiant purple bone cauldron, released.

Seeing the scene before her, she was greatly shocked, at least six Ape Demons were corpses on the ground, black blood flowing, killed by someone, while the whereabouts of the other three were unknown.

Not far away, a youth lay there, covered in blood, seriously injured.

“What happened to you?” She quickly rushed over, helping Shi Hao up, shocked by the outcome, was this all his doing?

“I’m alright, I just need to rest for a bit.” Shi Hao was drained, not expecting to encounter such powerful Ape Demons on this ancient battlefield, it was beyond his expectations.

Just in terms of physicality, the nine-headed Ape Demons were in a rare class of formidable adversaries.

“Did you kill six Ape Demons by yourself?” Yun Xi was truly stunned; if such an achievement were to spread, it would surely cause a sensation, a Venerable Realm figure killing six Divine Level creatures who pursued the ultimate physical arts, it was like a fairy tale, a myth!

“Barely managed to kill them, unfortunately three escaped, I ran out of strength.” Shi Hao shook his head as she supported him.

“This… it’s astonishing. Even if a Primordial were here, it’s uncertain if they would’ve achieved such a feat, most likely they would have perished.” Yun Xi didn’t know what else to say, it was too ferocious.

Her eyelashes fluttered, her wide eyes filled with disbelief, her fair face shocked by the achievement, the result was simply glorious.

“As someone who follows the path of corporeal refinement, I naturally have some methods. Although they were strong, they couldn’t handle me.” Shi Hao said casually.

He didn’t delay, quickly sitting cross-legged, his body glowing as he began healing, wrapped in Sacred characters for a while.

Two hours later, Shi Hao reopened his eyes, his vitality vigorous and robust, although his injuries couldn’t heal immediately, his combat capabilities were mostly restored.

Yun Xi also took the time to heal and swallowed a precious pill, feeling significantly better.

“Let’s go, hurry to raid the Ape Demon’s lair while they are startled and away, see what we can find,” Shi Hao was very hopeful.

The ancient and boundless battlefield was vast, enveloped in mist, and they stopped in front of a rocky cliff. This place was the lair of the Ape Demons, with several stone caves on the cliff.

And below the cliff, there were some red herbaceous plants, resembling red coral, translucent and bright, emitting a rich fragrance.

“Blood Spirit Grass!” Yun Xi exclaimed, finding dozens of them at once; this precious grass was extremely valuable, capable of enhancing the power of the human soul, a rare specialty of the Scarlet Plains.

“How is this herb used?” Shi Hao asked, as he was here looking for the secret of the Ape Demons’ Mana Immunity.

“It needs to be decocted with many other types of Spiritual Medicine to extract its essence for consumption, which can nourish the divine soul,” Yun Xi explained.

Shi Hao nodded, soared up, and entered the cave in the cliff to search carefully. He found some relics, but not what he was looking for.

“Do you know why the Ape Demons can achieve Mana Immunity?” Shi Hao asked, as this was his primary concern.

“It’s related to their long-term consumption of Blood Spirit Grass and Golden Bodhi Fruit,” Yun Xi revealed.

“Is it this grass?” Shi Hao’s eyes lit up and he walked under the stony cliff to take a closer look.

There were about fifty plants in total, each one about one foot tall, flashing with scarlet luster, translucent like jade stone carvings.

Yun Xi further explained, “For other races, this substance doesn’t have as great an effect as you might imagine, because the Ape Demons consume it directly. We can only decoct it with other herbs to extract some essence, and 80% of its properties are unsuitable for other races.”

“That’s an interesting point,” Shi Hao exclaimed.

The Ape Demons had a unique constitution that allowed them to consume Blood Spirit Grass directly, yet other races couldn’t draw from its properties and could only absorb some beneficial essences.

Yun Xi said, “The so-called dross, which is the other 80% of its properties, is fatal to us but a great supplement for the Ape Demons.”

The higher realms are vast, with numerous races in the Three Thousand States, some are particularly unique and strange, making them stand out from others.

Apart from the fiendish apes born in lethal environments, there are only three to five races that truly have Mana Immunity.

“Limited by physique, can the human race not consume it? I don’t believe it, I’ll give it a try,” Shi Hao muttered to himself. In the past, to enhance his strength, he had swallowed several kilograms of Taiyi Real Water, which was also said to be unfit for direct consumption.

“You shouldn’t do it recklessly. Others have also wanted the Ape Demons’ ability of Mana Immunity. They consumed Blood Spirit Grass directly and died, their bodies shattered,” Yun Xi warned.

“No worries, I’ll give it a try,” Shi Hao was unconvinced.

Yun Xi anxiously said, “You shouldn’t; many geniuses like you who refused to give up and wanted that ability tried forcefully and ended up dead; no one has ever succeeded.”

“Did all those people die?” Shi Hao’s expression grew serious.

“Almost all died, some even among the Primordial beings, who after consuming hundreds of plants, ultimately met their demise,” Yun Xi solemnly cautioned, stressing her concerns.

“Then there’s no problem,” Shi Hao laughed, there were only dozens here, far from the legendary limit; he had nothing to worry about.

These herbs were fragrant and enticingly red, Shi Hao sat down here, picked one directly, and popped it into his mouth, swallowing it in a few bites.

“You can’t do this!” Yun Xi was frantic, trying to stop him; the boy was too stubborn.

“I urgently need strength, and having this ability would be greatly beneficial to me,” Shi Hao said, and then smiled, adding, “The taste is not bad, sour and sweet, like berries.”

Yun Xi almost collapsed upon hearing this; he was just casually eating it while pondering the taste, how big must his nerves be.

Soon, a red light emitted from Shi Hao’s body, circulating on the surface of his skin, as if it were going to ignite him. He carefully introspected and found a strange mysterious power flowing within him.

Then, he consumed the second, the third…

“Stop, quick! Even those few Primordials, although they ate hundreds, it was over many days, you’re going too fast,” Yun Xi was terrified.

She found it difficult to understand; this young man was too bold, and doing this was really akin to committing suicide.

Shi Hao took twenty Blood Spirit Grass pills in one breath and indeed felt abnormalities. A bizarre mysterious power formed on his body surface, tearing him apart as it seemed.

Moreover, this mysterious power infiltrated from the body surface into the flesh and bones, making him feel like he was about to explode.

“Constrain!”

Shi Hao sat down cross-legged, spread open the Unique Cave Heaven to cover himself, restraining his body to prevent his physical body from disintegrating, and once again began to consume Blood Spirit Grass.

“My god, what are you doing, you can’t eat that much!” Yun Xi panicked, after all, this young man was her lifesaver, how could she stand by and watch him court death.

“Don’t worry, I think it’s working,” Shi Hao said softly, swallowing another dozen or so.

“You…” Yun Xi was shocked. She tried to rush over to stop him, but as soon as she touched the boundary of the Unique Cave Heaven, she was immediately bound, unable to break through.

What is this, could it really be a cave heaven?

She was shocked, closely observed, and touched it several times, suspecting it really could be a cave heaven!

But why was it so special?

It seemed like all the cave heavens exploded and then merged into one giant cave heaven, terrifying in aura, astonishing in divine might.

Yun Xi thought of Shi Hao from the Lower Realm; she remembered his cave heaven was also very special, exceptionally large, and ten cave heavens could connect together, transforming into a Divine Disc.

And, the person before her was even more special, he had actually cultivated the horrifying and mysterious Unique Cave Heaven, which seemed almost dream-like.

She wanted to test if it was truly real, by using different methods such as employing treasures, and opening her own cave heaven to verify, resulting in tremors.

“Is this really…a cave heaven!?”

Several times she entered the range of this cave heaven, she was bound and confined, “reverted to her original form,” revealing her true appearance.

In that moment, her purple hair glowed, flowing down smoothly, leaving Yun Xi inadvertently showing her unparalleled immortal beauty, her forehead plump and luminous, eyelashes trembling, her large eyes full of spirituality, like a peerless beauty stepping out from a painting.

Shi Hao opened his eyes, withdrew the cave heaven, and the binding force disappeared.

Yun Xi rushed over immediately, saying, “Stop consuming Blood Spirit Grass.” She grabbed Shi Hao’s shoulder, shaking him vigorously, really concerned he might suddenly perish.

Her silky purple hair was smoothly scattered down, draping on Shi Hao, carrying a refreshing fragrance.

Shi Hao looked at the woman close at hand, her skin white and translucent, recalling the past events at Hundred Shattered Mountains. Back then, both had been wrestling on the ground, and even bit each other’s ear.

He raised his hand, signaling he was fine, and his palm touched the silky purple hair, inadvertently touching her translucent earlobe.

“You!” Yun Xi was startled, she quickly retreated, staring at Shi Hao. Her beautiful and sensitive earlobe being touched gave her a shock, bringing back many memories of the past.(To be continued.
