"The warriors of my Giant Ape clan are all fighting against the demon warriors. How can we send a member of our clan back?"

Okay, I'll go back myself.

"You stay here for now and wave the battle flag for me. I will return in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

After thinking for a moment, the Giant Ape Demon King slammed his arms onto the ground.

Then, like a cannonball, it shot into the sky with a boom and rushed towards the giants' lair.

...

"The concentration of spiritual energy and demonic energy around here is getting stronger and stronger. The lair of the giant ape clan must be not far ahead, right?"

At this moment, Lin Xiaofei stood at the foot of a large mountain. His gaze swept across the mountain and he sensed a strong demonic aura emanating from it.

Moreover, there were clearly quite a few third-tier giant ape demonic beasts in the mountains and forests ahead, standing ready as if they were on guard against him.

Lin Xiaofei guessed that this mountain was the lair of the giant ape clan.

Since he began cultivating a first-grade immortal technique, he discovered that his perception had greatly improved, and he could easily sense the concentration of spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius.

Especially at the top of the mountain, he sensed a powerful fluctuation, which was clearly the spiritual energy fluctuation emitted by the formation.

In other words, at the core of this mountain, there is a large formation, which he estimates to be the defensive formation of the giant ape clan.

However, he came here for only one purpose: to find a large number of second-grade spiritual herbs.

Without hesitation, he took a step forward and rushed into the forest from the foot of the mountain, picking several second-grade spiritual herbs along the way.

Before long, he arrived near the mountaintop and saw a huge stone cave in the distance, which was the lair of the giant ape clan.

Around the cave stood a group of majestic and tall giant apes.

"This is indeed the lair of the giant ape clan."

However, these giant ape monsters probably already discovered me.

The reason they didn't rush up and stayed inside the formation seems to be that they were afraid of me.

Since that's the case, they shouldn't bother me. I'll continue searching for second-grade spiritual herbs in the nearby mountains and forests.

After looking around, Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself, then turned around and began exploring the vicinity of the giant ape clan's lair.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. Behind the giant ape clan's lair, there was a huge valley, from which the scent of spiritual herbs wafted.

"Um?"

A delicate fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted past Lin Xiaofei's nostrils, making his eyes light up.

With a slight smile, he strode off towards the valley.

"Prince Giant Ape, that human cultivator seems to have discovered our spirit herb garden. He's heading towards it. What should we do?"

A third-tier demonic beast approached the giant ape prince and hurriedly spoke.

"My father has not yet sent back a fourth-tier demon king. It seems he can't wait any longer."

Since that's the case, I can only rely on the power of the great formation to try and stop it, and it would be best to prevent that cultivator from entering the valley.

Otherwise, the vast quantity of precious medicinal herbs in the herb garden would suffer severe losses.

As the giant ape prince spoke, his body grew larger, transforming into a giant ape ten zhang tall, revealing his true form.

It spread its arms, and a large amount of demonic energy emanated from its body.

With a hum, a dense demonic aura shot into the sky and surged into the great formation inside the stone cave.

Demonic energy surged into the great formation, its mystical light swirling.

In an instant, a terrifying energy shot out from the great formation, transforming into a huge rock that floated into the air like a falling meteorite.

The boulder descended rapidly and appeared directly above Lin Xiaofei's head.

"Um?"

As Lin Xiaofei was leaping, he suddenly sensed a strong energy fluctuation coming from above. He looked up and his eyes flashed.

Without hesitation, the spiritual energy within him surged forth, and he waved his hand.

The most powerful spell of the Nascent Soul stage, a single sword strike that can shatter all laws, shot out with incredible speed.

With a whoosh.

A silvery-white sword aura flashed with dazzling light.

This sword energy, like lightning, flew silently towards the boulder overhead.

Rumble!

The sword energy collided with the huge rock.

A burst of inspiration, a dazzling light.

That boulder seemed incredibly hard, actually managing to withstand Lin Xiaofei's sword strike that could shatter all laws.

A snap.

The sword energy shattered, and the boulder crashed into it, then hurtled towards Lin Xiaofei.

"Um?

"The power of this giant rock could actually withstand a single sword strike from a cultivator at the Lesser Completion Realm who could shatter all laws?"

Lin Xiaofei muttered something to himself, then quickly turned to the side and dodged.

With a loud bang.

The boulder crashed directly into the spot where Lin Xiaofei had just disappeared, causing the ground to crack and tremble.

"Excellent! The Giant Ape Prince's attack has intercepted that human cultivator."

Now, that human cultivator should no longer dare to rush into that valley.

"I never expected that our giant ape clan's great formation could actually unleash such powerful attack capabilities."

What's wrong with that?

If our king were here, and he were to control the great formation, it could unleash the full power of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, and might even instantly kill that human cultivator.

However, for the Giant Ape Prince to activate the offensive capabilities of this defensive and offensive formation, he needs to use the clan's treasure, which is a jade treasure.

Using this jade treasure, it can activate the great formation to gather powerful demonic magic, comparable to the full-force attack of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

As you all saw, that demonic technique just now shattered the human cultivator's sword energy and almost killed him.

...

Inside the giant ape clan's lair, countless demonic beasts watched in stunned silence as the giant ape prince used the clan's treasure to activate the great formation's attack.

The giant ape prince conjured a massive stone demonic technique, which, like a falling meteorite, was incredibly powerful and nearly struck the human cultivator.

The power of this giant rock was terrifying, making them tremble with fear yet also showing joy, and they discussed it amongst themselves.

Lin Xiaofei arbitrarily stole second-grade spiritual herbs and other rare and precious materials from their territory, which caused great resentment among the giant ape clan and its affiliated demon clans.

Now, seeing that their opponent was almost killed by the giant ape prince, they felt very pleased.

Since the Giant Ape Prince can unleash such a powerful attack from the formation, if he manipulates it a few more times, wouldn't he be able to kill this human cultivator?

This will also prevent the other party from stealing the precious herbs from the herb garden.

"The Crown Prince is mighty!"

"The Crown Prince is so domineering!"

"Your Highness, kill that human cultivator immediately!"

The demonic beasts standing in the great formation cheered and shouted, encouraging the giant ape prince.

"Alright, I will continue to activate the attack methods of the great formation."

The giant ape prince was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that his attack, which activated the great formation, would actually stop the human cultivator.

However, activating the powerful attack methods of the great formation is a very energy-consuming thing. The attack just now had already consumed 30% of the demonic energy.

With that thought in mind, he activated the clan's treasure once again.

In an instant, the jade treasure emitted a spiritual light, which entered the great formation and shone brightly.

The light rapidly converged, and in the void, the wind and clouds shifted, emanating an astonishing demonic power that transformed into a white tiger.

The white tiger leaped forward, roaring loudly, like a ferocious tiger devouring the sky, and quickly pounced on Lin Xiaofei.

At the same time, the white tiger opened its mouth wide and spat out a white flame that enveloped Lin Xiaofei.

"Are you trying to force me to take action?"

Lin Xiaofei raised his eyes and looked at the white tiger formed by demonic power in the void, which was rapidly pouncing towards him. He couldn't help but mutter a word.

He didn't want to pay attention to the group of giant ape demons staying in the formation; he only wanted to go to the valley to pick second-grade spiritual herbs.

However, these monsters were not behaving themselves and actually activated the formation's attack methods to attack him.

So, naturally, he would retaliate.
