"Hiss, this demonic ape is too strong!" Upon seeing this, Jiang Wang gasped.

"It seems this Lava Fruit will belong to it!" Jiang Yunhe said with a look of regret. "But it doesn't matter. As long as it perishes here, are we afraid we won't be able to take the Lava Fruit?"

Jiang Wang also revealed a ferocious smile.

This Lava Fruit was the treasure he had always dreamed of!

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Jiang Yunhe frowned and said, "It seems to be injured."

In front of him, the demonic ape was staring at him with a sinister gaze, exuding an aura of overwhelming ferocity.

"This demonic ape is indeed injured!" Jiang Wang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

During their fight, he sensed that the demonic ape's aura was weakening and that it was clearly injured.

"Then, kill it now!" Jiang Yunhe's eyes were icy cold. He moved and rushed towards the demonic ape, intending to take advantage of the demonic ape's weakness, which even shattered its bones.

All of this was completely beyond his comprehension.

You must know, he's a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Even if his cultivation level is suppressed here, it's still not much different.

How could this giant wolf be so powerful?

"Father!" Jiang Wang exclaimed, his face full of worry, wanting to help.

"Shut up!" Jiang Yunhe shouted.

"Die!" He unleashed his magic weapon and blasted it at the demonic ape.

boom!

Unfortunately, the demonic ape pointed a finger and sent him flying.

Bang!

Jiang Yunhe landed on the ground, blood streaming from his mouth, his face deathly pale.

His body was covered in cracks, and his bones were shattered; he looked utterly miserable.

If he hadn't circulated his true energy in time to protect his soul and consciousness, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

This made his heart pound, and he finally understood how terrifying this demonic ape was.

At the same time, he was filled with sorrow that he and his son were going to die at the hands of this demonic ape.

"Alas, so be it. My Jiang family has no one left to use. What's the point of keeping this Lava Fruit?" Jiang Yunhe sighed.

The Jiang family suffered the greatest losses during this search for medicine at these ruins.

Besides them, other races also lost powerful figures, including five kings from the Jiang family.

Over the years, the Jiang family has declined and has now become a collateral branch. Under these circumstances, Jiang Yunhe is unwilling to continue taking risks.

"The Lava Fruit is good, but life is more valuable." With a thought, Jiang Yunhe's Lava Fruit disappeared from his hand.

He took out a pill and swallowed it to recuperate and recover from his injuries.

At the same time, he also observed the demonic ape.

"Father, is the Lava Fruit still on this demonic ape?" Jiang Wang asked.

"It should be on this demonic ape," Jiang Yunhe said. "The demonic ape is injured, so we can kill it."

"Hehe, this demonic ape is strong, but it is still a beast after all, with a relatively low intelligence. As long as we are careful, we may still have a chance," Jiang Wang said, his eyes gleaming with fervor.

The Lava Fruit is a rare spiritual essence, something that can only be encountered by chance; who would miss it?

"I hope so!" Jiang Yunhe murmured.

He knew very well that if the demonic ape hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have been able to do anything to it with his strength. In fact, the demonic ape could have easily killed him with a single blow.

After all, he wasn't good at fighting.

...

The demonic ape stood tall in the void, its blood-red eyes surveying the surroundings, looking down at the group of cultivators below who were eager to make their move.

Beside the demonic ape, eight crystal-clear fruits floated.

This was formed from the molten lava tree by the demonic ape.

After consuming eight fruits, its physique became increasingly stronger.

"Humans, die!" the demonic ape roared, its eyes turning crimson as it lunged at the crowd in front of it, its claws and teeth flailing.

call!

The demonic ape was like a black mountain, its sharp claws reaching out and tearing through the void.

That power was so strong that it was utterly despair-inducing.

"You beast, prepare to die!" Jiang Yunhe's eyes were icy as he activated the Lava Fruit.

Instantly, the Lava Fruit's light patterns bloomed, transforming into a blazing crimson flame that swept outwards, engulfing all directions and threatening to engulf them.

At the same time, the runes of the Molten Fruit intertwined, sealing off this area.

Jiang Wang, wielding his knife, charged towards the demonic ape.

Bang!

Suddenly, a vast wave surged forth, and the lava erupted, engulfing the demonic ape, while Jiang Wang was also knocked back by the aftershocks.

Pfft!

The demonic ape's abdomen was ripped open, and blood splattered everywhere.

However, the blood disappeared instantly upon falling into the lava.

"Haha, the Lava Fruit is indeed domineering, capable of burning everything." Jiang Yunhe was extremely excited as he watched this scene.

In his eyes, the demonic ape was doomed.

However, just as he was about to collect the Lava Fruit, a strange phenomenon occurred.

A giant wave rolled out, creating towering ripples that sent the lava flying.

Then, a giant hand emerged from the water and slapped at the demonic ape.

This is a fighting technique evolved by alligator snapping turtles.

This giant hand blotted out the sky and had the force of several thousand kilograms. When it struck, the demonic ape simply couldn't withstand it.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the massive body of the demonic ape was sent flying and crashed into the cliff face.

"this……"

"The Lava Fruit has been destroyed?" Jiang Wang was dumbfounded upon seeing this.

"That Lava Fruit..." Jiang Yunhe was even more bewildered.

Buzz!

Just then, a terrifying flame swept in from outside the Lava Valley.

This is flames rising.

The temperature in this area suddenly increased, causing the bodies of many martial arts emperors to catch fire and emit screams of agony.

It's true, that lava sword pierced through their brows.

In an instant, powerful figures from various races perished; in just a few snaps of the fingers, nearly a hundred people fell.

"Get out of here!" the emperors roared hysterically, trembling with fear.

Because it's too bizarre.

"The Lava Valley, the Lava Fruit has been destroyed!"

"The Lava Valley is destroyed, so what's the point of us staying here any longer?"

"Let's go!" Immediately, the emperors withdrew from the area one by one.

Jiang Yunhe stood there stunned for a long time before he suddenly realized, "The Lava Fruit is gone!"

"Then I'm going to be trapped here and die!" Jiang Yunhe gritted his teeth.

“This Lava Fruit could have kept our clan at peace for an entire era, but now it’s been destroyed by my own hands. This will shatter our Jiang clan’s hopes for a rise!” Jiang Yunhe said bitterly. “It seems that the last words left by our ancestors were indeed true.”

"The Lava Fruit... is it really gone?"

Jiang Wang felt heartbroken and extremely regretful.

"Is this Lava Fruit really that precious?" Jiang Wang took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Yunhe with suspicion.

"This Lava Fruit is made by fusing the essence of heaven and earth. If it is fused into a divine weapon, it can purify the materials, improve the quality of the divine metal, and cause the price of the divine metal to skyrocket. It is a treasure that everyone desires!"

Jiang Yunhe sighed.

He had heard about this from the elders of his clan.

At that time, three exceptionally talented individuals from the Jiang clan obtained the Lava Fruit within the Lava Forest.

Each of these three possesses the cultivation level of the Heavenly Realm.
