[Ding, the system has searched for a suitable disciple candidate… One has been found.]
[Ding, the disciple candidate identified by the system is named Chen Yi.]
Lu Changsheng tore through space, appearing in Yun Cang Country, and the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator unexpectedly indicated that there was a disciple candidate, which took Lu Changsheng by surprise.
Lu Changsheng had merely come to see what the predicted calamity was; could it be there was also an opportunity to take on a disciple?
Lu Changsheng’s gaze fell upon the mentally broken Chen Yi, who seemed to be the disciple candidate recognized by the simulator.
The Divine Ape King dominated the cultivators of Yun Cang Country, but he was not really a match for Lu Changsheng.
Even the King of Chaos, ranked first among the seven great Demon Kings, had been slain by Lu Changsheng, let alone the Divine Ape King.
Now, it was the Divine Ape King who should be afraid.
“Are you, Lu?”
Monk Wu Le, recognizing the newly arrived’s face, exclaimed in surprise.
He ascended to the Immortal Realm around the same time as Lu Changsheng and had not expected to encounter Lu Changsheng here.
“Monk Wu Le?”
Lu Changsheng was equally astonished.
This was Monk Wu Le from the Immeasurable Temple, who had attended the Zhong Zhou Convention with Lu Changsheng and practiced the Six-syllable Mantra and the Decay and Prosperity Divine Skill, attaining no small measure of understanding in the Buddha’s teachings.
“This demon’s cultivation is profound; you might not be its match.”
Monk Wu Le, not having seen Lu Changsheng for tens of thousands of years, did not believe that Lu Changsheng could contend with the Divine Ape King.
“That remains to be seen.”
Lu Changsheng cast several talismans, which burst into bright golden light, producing five Daluo Golden Immortal puppets, each carrying an Immortal Sword on their back.
Under Lu Changsheng’s control, the five Daluo Golden Immortals wielding the Chixiao Immortal Sword, Qingxiao Immortal Sword, Bixiao Celestial Sword, Xuanxiao Immortal Sword, and Lianxiao Immortal Sword, charged into the demonic clouds.
Sword Qi crisscrossed, slashing numerous demon monkeys, their shrieks echoing everywhere.
Lu Changsheng, holding the Zixiao Immortal Sword in his hand, casually swung it, and purple light Sword Qi slashed towards the Divine Ape King.
The Divine Ape King bared its teeth in a grimace, raising its treasured iron rod to shatter the Sword Qi.
But the Divine Ape King was pushed back hundreds of steps by the Sword Qi, collapsing houses along its path.
“I will deal with this demon. You disperse the civilians.”
Lu Changsheng was confident in dealing with the Divine Ape King, he simply did not want too many living beings to be affected, as that would diminish his merit.
Shangguan Zhao’er scattered her jade hands, and twelve Banner of Laws were thrown out, landing on the ground, forming a formation.
All civilians within the formation were teleported thousands of miles away.
Lu Changsheng focused on contending with the Divine Ape King, the sound of their combat shaking heaven and earth, with houses collapsing in swathes and the earth fracturing.
Monk Wu Le and several other disciples from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple watched, dumbfounded, “I never expected Lu to have reached such heights in just a few tens of thousands of years, truly astonishing.”
Lu Changsheng, having practiced the True Solar Fire Yuan Skills and the Sword Scripture of the Divine King under the tutelage of Saint Lord Tai Hua Lin Xuantong, had become much stronger than when he fought the King of Chaos, dominating the fight against the Divine Ape King, and even appearing at ease, using the Divine Ape King as a test for his recent learnings.
The True Solar Fire Yuan Skills caused the Sword Qi to bear Pure Yang Fire Yuan Energy, singeing the monkey hairs of the Divine Ape King.
The Divine Ape King howled pitifully, knowing it was no match for Lu Changsheng, and thus sought mercy, “Spare me, and I will give you all the treasures of Mount Dong’ao!”
“The weak do not even have the right to plead.”
Lu Changsheng ignored the Divine Ape King’s plea for mercy.
Yun Cang Country was within Mount Shu’s sphere of influence, and with the Divine Ape King having destroyed the capital of Yun Cang Country, Lu Changsheng, as the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, naturally could not let the Divine Ape King off, or how would he lead his followers?
The Divine Ape King gritted its teeth in hatred; weren’t these the same words it had mockingly said to Chen Yi before?
Now, the tables had turned, and it was being looked down upon by Lu Changsheng.
However, the Divine Ape King truly was no match for Lu Changsheng and could only swallow those words along with its broken pride.
The Divine Ape King plucked out several monkey hairs, which transformed into the likeness of the Divine Ape King and fought against Lu Changsheng.
“External incarnation?”
Lu Changsheng recognized this divine skill, as Qingyue Fairy had used it in front of him once.
But Qingyue Fairy had also explained to him the weakness of the external incarnation, that it dispersed the true qi of the main body.
The Divine Ape King likely used the external incarnation divine skill to escape.

With a thought, Lu Changsheng summoned the World-Ending Black Lotus!
A black lotus appeared, its Demonic Qi blotting out the sun and shaking the mountains within a thousand miles.
When this treasured artifact appeared, the Divine Ape King’s hairs stood on end, its terror extreme, “A… a top-tier Holy Artifact!”
The World-Ending Black Lotus devoured the Divine Ape King’s qi destiny and True Qi, causing the Divine Ape King to fear exceedingly.
It had never seen such a frightening treasure before.
The World-Ending Black Lotus subdued the Divine Ape King, while the Zixiao Immortal Sword pierced through the sky, impaling the Demon King’s Golden Core!
Thus the Divine Ape King, one of the seven great Demon Kings, perished.
The World-Ending Black Lotus continued to devour the Divine Ape King’s demonic qi and qi destiny.
Lu Changsheng secretly marveled; could this top-tier Holy Artifact, the World-Ending Black Lotus, still have room to grow?
The Nirvana Flames Red Lotus, Merit Golden Lotus, and the World-Ending Black Lotus—all three artifacts seemed to have extraordinarily unusual origins.
Lu Changsheng reached out and caught the Demon Cultivator’s Golden Core from the Divine Ape King in his hand.
As a talented individual among the Demon Cultivators, the Golden Core of the Divine Ape King was imbued with potent demon power. Although it had been damaged by the Zixiao Immortal Sword, it still contained ownerless demonic power.
“Qianqian, eat this.”
Lu Changsheng casually tossed the Monster Race Golden Core to his disciple Ning Qianqian.
Ning Qianqian caught the Monster Race Golden Core and ate it in one bite.
“Hmph, Master is biased.”
