Chapter 334: Flawless
“Golden Egg, help him!”
Chen Beiwu’s gaze sharpened, and the Three-Headed Flood Dragon necklace around his neck suddenly fell away.
In the next instant, ripples surged through the void, and a colossal beast that seed to link heaven and earth crashed down.
“Roar!”
Golden Egg threw back its three heads and roared to the sky, manifesting its Dharma body, stirring the might of heaven and earth, and unleashing the Heavenly-Gang Profound Ability’s Three-Phase Manifestation. Rampaging flood-dragon pressure began to alter the very sky.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Dark clouds gathered, lightning raged, and a torrential downpour crashed down like it wanted to drown the world. The entire desert instantly beca a kingdom of water.
And within that apocalyptic scene, Golden Egg’s three pairs of vertical pupils locked dead onto the Battle Demon Ape standing in midair in the distance.
The latter’s expression did not change. It allowed Golden Egg to drive its Profound Ability, mobilize the spiritual chanism of heaven and earth, and reshape the endless sea of sand into a vast ocean of surging waves.
Then the Battle Demon Ape tilted its head. Beneath the Buddhist Face Mask Armor, its mouth curved slightly, revealing a ferocious grin.
Golden Egg’s pupils tightened. It thrust forward a dragon claw and slamd down, striking toward the Battle Demon Ape that had flashed into existence right before it.
The Battle Demon Ape neither dodged nor retreated. It clenched its right fist, gathered the vast mana within its body into one point, and t Golden Egg’s dragon claw head-on.
“Boom!”
Claw and fist collided. A formless, intangible shockwave erupted, tearing apart the storm clouds and exposing the dazzling Great Sun.
Golden Egg staggered, its enormous flood-dragon body forced backward in an uncontrolled retreat.
Chen Beiwu did not waste the opening. Using the chance Golden Egg created, he cupped his hands as if cradling a pill cauldron, spread all five fingers, ford seals at his fingertips, and aid at the Battle Demon Ape.
“Jade-Void Crimson Radiance Seal!”
The mont the seal erged, calamity fire refined truth.
Among the Yuanshi Five Calamity Seals, the Jade-Void Crimson Radiance Seal was the most lethal. Its might was extraordinary: it could lock onto a cultivator’s three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, and also burn away karma and lingering sins of past deeds.
Once struck by this seal, even a Divine Transformation True Venerable who had gathered Three Flowers Atop and faced Five Qi to the Origin could not escape a collapse of Dao foundation and the annihilation of soul.
Even though Chen Beiwu’s cultivation was limited, and this sparring match did not have the Five Qi Vine as a “charger” to boost the Jade-Void Crimson Radiance Seal with Five-Elents treasure light, the seal should still have been enough to shatter an early-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch with a single strike.
Yet the Battle Demon Ape remained unhurried, as if it had already foreseen Chen Beiwu’s offense.
It took only one step, and its figure flickered—instantly shifting behind Chen Beiwu with no stiffness at all, as though it had never just traded a direct blow with Golden Egg.
“Roar.”
Golden Egg halted its retreat and drove its Three-Absolute True Gang, shattering space as its three dragon heads snapped down together at the Battle Demon Ape that had appeared out of nowhere.
The Battle Demon Ape’s gaze stayed indifferent. It had already predicted Golden Egg’s ambush.
It spread five fingers and tightened them slightly. The Three-Absolute True Gang collapsed at once. Golden Egg’s three heads froze in place, and then the ape bent a finger and flicked.
Boom!
A strand of dark-gold mana, condensed to the extre, tore through space and struck the Jade-Void Crimson Radiance Seal with perfect precision.
Chen Beiwu’s body shook violently. He grunted, imdiately drove Vast-Abyss Treading the Void to stop his backward flight, and circulated Yuanshi True Qi to suppress the Profound Ability’s backlash.
At the sa ti, the Battle Demon Ape raised its right palm and pressed down toward Golden Egg’s middle head.
Golden Egg’s three pairs of vertical pupils shrank to needlepoints.
The reason was simple: that palm strike was not fast, and its power was controlled to the level of Golden Core Perfection Realm—but Golden Egg could not find even the slightest space to evade.
Other than taking it head-on, there seed to be no other way!
With that thought, Golden Egg’s vigilance spiked. It drove the Three-Phase Indestructible Profound Ability. At once, its scales blossod with gold, green, and blue divine light. The three colors interwove and revolved, forming a faint, almost imperceptible mist-like barrier.
tal calamity could not break it!
Water calamity could not invade it!
Wood calamity could not rot it!
The tri-colored barrier looked thin, yet it radiated an incomparably profound, indestructible Dao rhythm.
Golden Egg believed that within the sa realm, no Beast General could break the Three-Phase Indestructible defense—not even a Fortune-Origin Beast could manage it.
But in the next instant, under Golden Egg’s disbelieving stare, the tri-colored mist around its body suddenly shattered.
A fuzzy palm that looked tiny carried irresistible power as it slamd onto Golden Egg’s head.
Boom!
Golden Egg’s flood-dragon body crashed into the raging seawater like a cannonball, throwing up a wave that soared into the sky.
The Battle Demon Ape did not press the advantage. It remained standing in midair, turned its gaze toward Chen Beiwu, and curled its right fingers in a beckoning motion.
Not enough—again!
This level of strength could not even serve as a warm-up.
Seeing this, Chen Beiwu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath.
So strong!
The exchange had lasted only an instant, yet he had felt the Battle Demon Ape’s terrifying dominance deep in his bones.
There were no wasted movents, not a shred of mana squandered.
Every step the Battle Demon Ape took, every ti it raised a hand to attack, it precisely seized the casting flaws between him and Golden Egg.
Put simply, during the duel, the Battle Demon Ape did not feel like it was engaged in a life-and-death struggle. It felt more like a ticulously prepared play—one it had already rehearsed countless tis.
And Chen Beiwu and Golden Egg were like puppets in that theater, controlled by invisible threads. Every thought and action was transparent before the Battle Demon Ape, easily neutralized—or even exploited.
‘Was this the might of the World-Eye of Chaos?!’ Chen Beiwu’s mind stirred.
Before that heavenly eye that could pierce illusion and foresee the future, every technique and every scrap of combat experience Chen Beiwu had accumulated throughout his cultivation ant nothing.
“As he wished—he would show it Golden Egg’s true power!”
As Chen Beiwu’s voice fell, a tri-colored dragon shadow surged up from the sea beneath his feet.
‘Roar.’
Golden Egg shook its head, watching the Battle Demon Ape with wary eyes.
A Fortune-Origin Beast truly was not simple—especially a terrifying existence ranked in the top three.
It had been a frog in a well!
Before the Battle Demon Ape, its Three-Phase Indestructible Profound Ability had been like decoration, unable to resist that unfathomably mysterious Four Aspects Dao rhythm at all.
“Heaven-reaching Three Realms.”
Inside Chen Beiwu’s dantian sea of qi, the Yuanshi Golden Core trembled slightly, as if it had co alive, erupting with indescribable Yuanshi true intent.
That Yuanshi true intent gathered and condensed madly, forming a vast bestowed middle scene that slowly unfurled, covering heaven and earth.
Behind Chen Beiwu, an ancient five-colored mountain that seed eternal stood lofty between heaven and earth. It flowed with gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—five hues of innate spiritual light—fixing the Four Aspects of earth, water, wind, and fire, and evolving Yuanshi Dao rhythm.
Atop the Five-Elents divine mountain, clouds and mist coiled, and a Three-Phase Mystic Flood Dragon braced heaven and earth. Its dragon body vanished into endless auspicious clouds, winding who knew how many tens of thousands of miles.
The horns on its head divided clear and turbid qi, and it revealed three pairs of dragon eyes like suns, moons, and stars.
Beneath those eyes surged ceaseless Ninth Heaven waterfalls, the heaven-reaching Divine Tree, and the heavy earth that bore all things.
Yet in those three pairs of vertical golden dragon eyes, there was only a single figure.
He wore a moon-white Dao robe. Innate purple qi and Yuanshi Dao rhythm flowed around him, rging into the very world. It was the supre Dao intent Chen Beiwu had condensed after comprehending the Yuqing Nine Revolutions Yuanshi Pill Canon—an unsurpassed will that could anchor the heaven, earth, and human realms.
And this was the bestowed middle scene—
Five Qi Rides Three Phases, Ascending Profundity to the All-Encompassing Yuanshi Heaven-reaching Three Realms Landscape!
‘Not bad.’
The Battle Demon Ape stood in midair, gaze indifferent, and did not move to stop him.
Even if it could see the terrifying might of Heaven-reaching Three Realms in advance through the World-Eye of Chaos, it still did not interfere.
“Roar!”
A dragon’s cry that shook heaven and earth rang out.
The instant the bestowed middle scene rged into its bloodline, Golden Egg could not help throwing back its head in an exhilarated roar. Its entire aura rged with 【Five Qi Rides Three Phases, Ascending Profundity to the All-Encompassing Yuanshi Heaven-reaching Three Realms Landscape】, welcoming an elevation of its life’s very essence.
“Chi chi chi!”
As Golden Egg’s bloodline thundered violently within, the scales across its body shed away, exposing fresh, writhing crimson flesh.
Then five-colored divine light washed over it, and in visible speed, brand-new platinum dragon scales flashed into existence—each one shimring with five-colored radiance.
The two side heads underwent a sudden transformation at their brows, each growing a sharply defined single horn—one blue, one green.
The left horn was sleek and smooth, a deep blue so dark it was almost black.
The right horn was knotted and twisted like ancient wooden branches, a profound erald.
As for the central gold-aspect dragon head, its horn split and elongated with thorn-like growths, like a spear and halberd forged of platinum, or like a stern and majestic platinum crown.
Next ca a thunderous crackling of joints from within Golden Egg’s body.
Its size expanded from one hundred zhang to three hundred zhang in an instant. Beneath its four dragon claws, black flowing clouds spilled out like torn space itself, erupting with pressure comparable to a Fourth-Tier Beast King.
“How was that?”
Chen Beiwu stared straight at the Battle Demon Ape.
The reinforcent of Heaven-reaching Three Realms allowed Golden Egg to manifest the true form of a Three Realms Mystic Flood Dragon, erupting with terrifying battle power that surpassed the Golden Core.
Even if a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch stood before it, Golden Egg might not be unable to fight.
As it looked at the Three Realms Mystic Flood Dragon coiled across the sky, the Battle Demon Ape’s eyes brightened. Battle intent that had slept within it for a long ti boiled over.
“Co!”
This ti, the Battle Demon Ape did not passively dismantle. Its figure flashed as it launched the first attack.
In an instant, one small and one huge “teor” collided, crossing and crashing again and again. Wherever they passed, countless spatial fissures burst into being.
Boom!
A quarter of an hour later, Golden Egg lowered its head, using the horn of its gold head to block the Battle Demon Ape’s heavy punch.
Then its water- and wood-aspect heads struck from left and right, lunging at the ape’s heart and head.
Thud! Thud!
Two muffled impacts sounded. The Battle Demon Ape grinned viciously, did not move its head, and drove its right fist into Golden Egg’s neck.
Golden Egg’s head and heart both jolted with pain. Its movents stiffened; it could not drive the Three-Absolute True Gang to tear space and evade. It could only take the blow head-on, scales bursting as it was smashed backward.
“Could it keep improving?”
The Battle Demon Ape flashed and kicked Golden Egg’s spine.
The Battle Demon Body could link aura and share damage. That ant if an opponent could not break its defense, any Profound Ability or spell they used would only rebound upon themselves.
“Roar.”
Golden Egg steadied itself. It lifted a dragon claw, and the ultimate Three-Absolute True Gang ripped space open, slamming onto the Battle Demon Ape’s chest.
With the World-Eye of Chaos, the Battle Demon Ape could have avoided that claw in advance—but it did not. It stood still and let a ring-shaped shockwave burst from its chest.
Rumble!
The Battle Demon Ape took three steps back, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of its mouth.
As the price, Golden Egg’s chest abruptly caved in, blood gushing out in streams.
‘What a disgusting Fortune-Origin Technique!’ Golden Egg felt utterly stifled.
After using Heaven-reaching Three Realms, its battle power had already entered the sa tier as the Battle Demon Ape.
But the Three-Absolute True Gang Profound Ability—sothing that specialized in suppressing protective True Qi, artifact barriers, indestructible bodies, and all manner of arts and talismans—had beco useless. It could not truly injure the Battle Demon Ape at all, and the strange rebound instead heavily wounded itself.
After this exchange, the Battle Demon Ape’s aura was unchanged and it bore no real injury, while Golden Egg was already covered in wounds.
If not for the Three-Phase Indestructible Profound Ability rapidly healing its injuries, Golden Egg likely would have already withdrawn from its Heaven-reaching Three Realms posture.
“Suppress!”
While Golden Egg kept the Battle Demon Ape occupied, Chen Beiwu seized the timing. Yuanshi True Qi surged within him. He ford his right hand into a sword-finger and thrust it out, driving the Truth-Insight Calamity-Heaven Finger.
There was no such thing as absolute defense.
The Battle Demon Body was strong, but with the ape suppressing its cultivation years and realm, it might not necessarily withstand the Truth-Insight Calamity-Heaven Finger.
Boom!
Yet before Chen Beiwu’s finger could land, the Battle Demon Ape instantly shifted away and vanished.
‘Did it not want to take it, or could it not take it?’ Chen Beiwu’s brows drew together.
The Battle Demon Ape was too fast!
So fast that while it fought Golden Egg fiercely, it still easily avoided every Profound Ability and spell Chen Beiwu cast—including the Truth-Insight Calamity-Heaven Finger.
If this entangling fight continued, defeat was the only end.
‘There was no choice.’ Chen Beiwu thought grimly.
The Battle Demon Ape was heaven-and-earth born, birthed by tribulation. It held the dual authorities of “battle-shattering destruction” and “suppression-sealing tribulation force,” its bloodline surpassed only by the Four Monkeys of Chaos.
In speed, it could tear through gale-force astral winds and shift at will. Even if Chen Beiwu possessed divine sense comparable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he still could not react in ti.
In defense, it could ignore Golden Egg’s Heavenly-Gang Profound Ability and rebound damage. Even Nascent Soul killing moves could be blocked without a scratch.
In divine sense, it could disregard illusions and soul-killing attacks, foresee the enemy, and “see” Profound Ability and spell attacks in advance.
In technique, its seemingly simple, brutal punches contained endless variations. Its use of soul, vital qi and blood, and mana had reached a realm of perfection, allowing it to precisely seize flaws and vital points.
In mana, its mana was unending. The quality of its True Qi was not inferior to Yuanshi True Qi, and during battle it could continuously raise the intensity of its mana through battle intent.
It was no exaggeration to say that this five-sided Fortune-Origin Beast existed for battle—speed, defense, divine sense, technique, and mana all naturally complete and flawless.
“How about deciding victory and defeat in a single move?”
Chen Beiwu chose to use a provocation.
“Fine.”
The Battle Demon Ape also found it tedious.
Cultivation being higher did not an battle power was higher.
At first it had been excited, and had rather approved of the Three Realms Mystic Flood Dragon’s strength.
But as ti passed, the flaws Golden Egg revealed during combat grew more and more frequent.
To be blunt, if the Battle Demon Ape wanted, it could seize a flaw and smash Golden Egg’s Heaven-reaching Three Realms posture apart with one punch.
It had simply been bored for too long. Having finally t an opponent that could barely stir its interest, it was reluctant to end it quickly.
“Be careful. He had not intended to use this move in sparring!”
Chen Beiwu’s eyes narrowed. He brought his hands together, and light surged around Golden Egg as its form began to shed and transform.
“Motion and stillness gave birth to each other; heart and intent connected!”
As Chen Beiwu’s voice fell, Golden Egg’s massive flood-dragon body vanished. In its place floated a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber.
The saber’s handle was coiled like a flood dragon. At the end of the grip, three dragon heads held pearls in their mouths. The central blade was straight and razor-sharp; the two side blades resembled hook-sabers. Five-colored divine light flowed across it, erupting with an incomparably ferocious, incomparably tyrannical aura.
“Humm!”
A divine weapon had spirit.
The instant Chen Beiwu reached out and gripped the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber, a vast pressure comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch erupted, suppressing all of heaven and earth.
“Na!”
“Woof!”
The Five Qi Vine and Iron Egg shifted their gazes away from Chen Beiwu, swallowing hard.
Even watching from afar, they could feel a terrifying sharpness that stabbed the soul itself!
“Good. Very good!”
A grave look finally appeared in the Battle Demon Ape’s eyes. It slowly brought its arms together, crossing them before its body.
“Slash!”
Chen Beiwu opened his eyes and cut out with a single saber strike.
Where the blade light passed, ti itself solidified.
The Battle Demon Ape’s pupils contracted. Its fur stood on end as endless mana within it rapidly condensed into a tangible Four Aspects bulwark.
This strike could have been dodged—but it refused to dodge.
“Chi!”
A faint chi sounded, and ti resud its flow.
The Four Aspects bulwark—collapsed into ruin!
The Battle Demon Ape’s crossed wrists—snapped!
A fine sliver of blade light ran down from the top of the Battle Demon Ape’s head, spreading over its brow, bridge of the nose, and lips, only to be stopped at last by the dark-gold chains wrapped around its body.
anwhile, Chen Beiwu held the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber, his figure silently appearing five zhang behind the Battle Demon Ape.
Clang!
In the next instant, the Battle Demon Ape froze in place. Its entire head—including the shattered Buddhist Face Mask Armor—split perfectly into two along the blade’s path.
Even so, the Battle Demon Ape still stood where it was, its body not retreating in the slightest.
