roar!

Die!

The Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King swung its giant paw, stirring up a gust of wind, and grabbed at Chen Tianwen.

They wanted to crush Chen Tianwen in one fell swoop!

Let this ant-like thing know what a demon king is.

Rumble.

A fierce wind swept through, and the giant hand, as if the sky were collapsing, smashed down on Chen Tianwen's head.

At that moment, everyone's heart clenched.

If Chen Tianwen were truly captured by this Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to escape.

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

"Since you've chosen to die, then I'll grant your wish!" A fierce glint flashed in Chen Tianwen's eyes.

At this moment, the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Heart-Piercing Sword shone brightly, unleashing a chilling aura.

In an instant, a crystal-clear gray sword intent condensed.

This sword intent is like the first sword energy condensed by a beginner in swordsmanship.

Pure and simple, unadorned, it forms a stark contrast with the dazzling Heavenly Punishment Sword Intent...

A look of doubt flashed in Shu Yi's eyes.

This simple gray sword intent couldn't even compare to her Crimson Peak Sword Intent, let alone the formidable Heavenly Punishment Sword Intent.

Filled with doubt.

She kept a close eye on the battlefield.

But then, the sword intent met the giant palm head-on and slashed forward resolutely.

A radiance without any flashy or frivolous elements.

The giant paw of the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King was severed in two mid-air!

Boom!

The giant hand landed on the ground with a loud thud.

Blood gushed out, staining the earth red; the scene was incredibly bloody.

Roar~~~!

The Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King, in pain, instantly transformed its ferocity into horror.

His physical body is already considered extremely strong in this world.

Even if you let the sharpest Howling Moon Silver Wolf bite him, it wouldn't be able to break through his skin.

But this human in front of him actually severed his arm with a single blow!

The excruciating pain constantly reminded the Purple-winged Scaled Ape King.

escape!

Run!

However, after the Samsara Sword Intent spun in the air, it landed on its neck.

"I'll say it one last time: open your mind, or die!"

Chen Tianwen sent another message to the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King.

This demon king at the Nascent Soul stage is the overlord of the ruins and must know information about this great formation and even this palace.

It would be such a waste to kill them like this.

The Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King trembled slightly.

If one opens their sea of ​​consciousness and allows this person to leave their methods there, then their life and death will be completely in this person's hands.

It possesses the noble bloodline of the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape, and in ancient times, it was the guardian of the divine beast Qilin, the overlord of this land!

In that instant, the glory of his ancestors flowed through the eyes of the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape.

Is he really going to surrender to a lowly and insignificant human being in such a humiliating way?

"It seems you're unwilling."

Chen Tianwen saw the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King hesitate and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

The sword intent of reincarnation drew near.

If this demon king truly refuses to submit.

He wouldn't mind giving it a quick death.

Just then, a special memory flowed through the bloodline of the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King.

What demon has to bow its head under the eaves of the cave? As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of going hungry. Taking a step back opens up a vast expanse. Being able to bend and stretch is the mark of a great demon.

The Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King's eyes immediately cleared.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to submit!"

It emitted a clear will.

All of this happened in a very short moment.

Under Shu Yiyao's shocked gaze.

The Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King slowly opened his sea of ​​consciousness, and suddenly, a dazzling array of colors flashed in the gray sky.

"The Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King, has it... has it been subdued?"

He is the vice-leader of the Chifeng Mercenary Group.

Shu Yiyao naturally knew what opening her sea of ​​consciousness meant.

Submit!

Chen Tianwen originally thought that killing a Nascent Soul cultivator with a single sword strike was his limit.

But after that gray sword intent emerged...

They actually forced the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King to surrender.

This is a demon king with noble blood.

If placed in the outside world, it would be a dominant force that reigns supreme over a radius of at least 100,000 li.

The shock that Chen Tianwen brought to Shu Yiyao

This is more than she has experienced in her entire previous life combined.

Upon seeing the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King obediently open its sea of ​​consciousness.

A smile appeared on Chen Tianwen's lips.

He used a secret technique to wrap a wisp of the Reincarnation Sword Intent and placed it into the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King's sea of ​​consciousness.

Now, with just a thought from him, the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King would be annihilated, with almost no chance of reincarnation.

"Your Majesty! Please allow me to apologize for my previous disrespect."

The Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King sent a divine thought, his tone very respectful.

Chen Tianwen naturally didn't care about such things. He pointed to the immortal palace enveloped by the golden array and asked, "What is that place?"

The Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King looked at the magnificent hall, a glint of light flashing in its eyes: "That is... the Qilin Palace, the residence of the Demon Emperor!"

Demon Emperor!

A glint of light flashed in Chen Tianwen's eyes.

If a human were to use the term "Demon Emperor," it would most likely refer to a demon beast at the Integration Realm.

However, when this word comes from the mouth of a demon beast with ancient blood, its meaning is quite different.

Legend has it that in ancient times, this continent was ruled by various demon kingdoms.

The "Demon Emperor" mentioned by the demon race refers to the ruler of these demon kingdoms!

Each of these rulers was an unparalleled being, and they were revered as demon emperors.

Back then, humans were just one of countless monsters and beasts, and they didn't have the transcendent status they have today.

Those who truly transcend demonic beasts are only those with noble bloodlines.

Such as dragons, phoenixes, Qiongqi, and Bai Ze.

"The Qilin Palace, this demon kingdom was once founded by a Qilin?!"

Chen Tianwen was surprised.

The Qilin, a top-tier mythical beast, was revered as the king of beasts in ancient times, and was no weaker than the dragon or the wind.

“That’s right,” the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King nodded, “Our Demon Emperor of the Purple Cloud Demon Kingdom is a true Purple Qilin!”

The Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King's voice carried a hint of pride.

The demon race reveres bloodlines, and its ancestors served as guards for the Qilin, a top-tier divine beast—a supreme honor.

It received the approval of the Purple-winged Scaled Ape King.

A glint of light flashed in Chen Tianwen's eyes.

The Qilin disappeared in ancient times, and countless cultivators have searched for its traces, but all their efforts have been in vain.

"Do you know how to get into the Qilin Palace?" Chen Tian asked expectantly.

This Qilin Palace has existed since at least the ancient times, and the value it contains is immeasurable!

However, the Purple-Winged Scaled Ape King shook his head: "To enter the great formation, one must pass the bloodline verification of the outer formation. None of us have the Qilin bloodline, so we cannot enter."

Bloodline Verification Array?

This was the first time Chen Tianwen had ever heard of such a grand formation, and his curiosity as a formation cultivator was piqued.

So, he leaped into the air and landed in front of the golden array.
