Rumble—
In an instant, the Diamond Ape King, whose strength equalled a Golden Core Master, had a cold demeanor, and without uttering a second word, it took immediate action.
A massive hand condensed from Mana struck down, covering an area of several miles.
A Golden Core Law Domain even burst forth from its body, enveloping all directions.
It bound these cultivators so tightly they had no chance of escaping.
This is why Golden Core cultivators are so domineering, as they are virtually called the Lords of their region.
A force with a Golden Core Master can practically prosper for five hundred years.
Because Golden Core cultivators have overwhelming combat power, they can congeal a Golden Core Law Domain, similar to a territorial domain, and suppress all sides.
Lower-level cultivators generally face the Golden Core Law Domain with virtually no resistance.
Even if many Foundation Establishment cultivators are added together, they are not the match for a Golden Core Master.
So, facing the ire of a Golden Core Master, ordinary cultivators can only wait to die, absolutely unable to resist.
Thud!
The next second, under the despairing gaze of Shen Sheng, the Elder of the Shen family, they helplessly watched as this Mana hand crushed down mercilessly, exuding a terrifying might.
Suddenly, the area of several miles was instantly flattened by the giant hand, leaving a visible, huge palm imprint of the Ape King. The surrounding area was suffused with a horrifying aura of mystical beasts.
Shen Sheng and other cultivators were crushed to death in a blink of an eye, their bodies turning into a mist of blood.
They basically couldn’t hang on for even a second, their lives instantly extinguished.
Just before their death, Shen Sheng and other cultivators felt profound regret. If they had known in advance about the dangers of this Golden Core cave and the protection from a third-stage mystical beast, they would never have dared to explore this Golden Core cave, not even if their lives depended on it.
Unfortunately, no matter what they say now, it is already too late.
This is the consequence of extreme greed.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!
After one palm strike killed numerous cultivators, the Diamond Ape King sensed the surrounding atmosphere and felt satisfied when it didn’t detect the presence of any human cultivators.
Hence, it let out a roar.
Right after, numerous mystical beasts followed the Diamond Ape King and quickly retreated back into the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
After all, these places were still harsh living environments for them.
If it were deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, there would be third-stage, and even fourth-stage, Spirit Veins.
This place was slightly barren, comparatively.
At this moment, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, Xia Jingyan, and Leng Yuexi, who were remaining several hundred meters underground, naturally felt this terrifying shake.
Although the power of the Diamond Ape King could not reach the place several hundred meters underground, it still made them feel violent shaking, as if there had been an earthquake.
Luckily, the underground shelter was reinforced by the Gold Eating Bugs, ordinary forces couldn’t cause the shelter to collapse.
Otherwise, it would still cause some degree of trouble.
“Husband, what has happened?”
Ji Bingyu and the others looked at Zhou Sui curiously.
Because they knew that their husband had left his clone on the surface to monitor all the movements above, he should know what had just happened.
“Just now, a third-stage mystical beast came into the valley. It seemed to be hunting down the cultivators belonging to these clans.” Zhou Sui stroked his chin, his Clone Gu was hidden deep inside a big tree and only dared to release a faint Divine Sense.
So, he could only provide a rough idea, and he was not clear about the actual situation.
“Really? A third-stage mystical beast actually took action? What on earth did those clan cultivators do to provoke a third-stage mystical beast? Have they gone mad?”
Leng Yuexi was deeply shocked.
She was well aware of how terrifying a third-stage monster could be, with combat power on par with a Golden Core Master.
Living in the midst of the Cloudy-Mist Mountains, it also had the advantage of home field.
As a result, even the Golden Core Sects like Qingmu Sect, Immortal Mist Sect, and Ghost Demon Sect did not dare to venture too deep into the Cloudy-Mist Mountains.
One careless mistake could lead to their demise.
Yet, these incredibly audacious Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Sect families dared to provoke a third-stage monster.
If this wasn’t a death sentence, what was?
“Don’t worry, let me Soul Search.”
Zhou Sui’s thoughts moved, immediately directing the Dream Soul Gu to leave him and swiftly travel through the underground tunnel to the surface.
At this time, the souls of the Shen family Cultivators had barely been exterminated and had not yet completely disappeared.
Using the power of the Dream Soul Gu, he should still be able to acquire some soul memories.
Swoosh-—
In an instant, the Dream Soul Gu surfaced, opening wide, and instantly devoured all the scattered souls on the ground, claiming them as its own, while a vast amount of soul memory fragments flooded in.
An hour later, after organizing the soul memories, he finally understood the ins and outs of the issue.
“So that’s how it is.”
Zhou Sui took a deep breath and relayed the actions of the Shen family Cultivators verbatim, informing Ji Bingyu and the others about what transpired.
“I didn’t expect that Golden Core cave dwelling to be so dangerous. Even after breaking through the Prohibition Array within, they had to face a third-stage monster, the Ape King. They have really run out of luck.”
Leng Yuexi exclaimed.
Although she knew that exploring the Golden Core cave dwelling was highly dangerous with a death rate over 90%, she didn’t expect it to be this dangerous with a third-stage monster guarding it.
Isn’t this a total trap?!
But who could have expected that Wanliu Master’s Spirit Beast would still be guarding the place even after his death over five hundred years ago?
That Spirit Beast took its old loyalties into account and continued to guard the cave dwelling.
Those trying to enter Wanliu Master’s cave dwelling essentially faced certain death.
She was relieved that her husband had been cautious, not letting the potential benefits cloud his judgement.
Otherwise, if he actually joined the exploration of the Golden Core cave dwelling, chances are he’d be in grave danger.
“But why did the Golden Core Ape King not attack earlier? Why did it only attack when the final Prohibition Array was about to be dismantled? Could it be that it hadn’t detected the meddling Cultivators before?”
Mu Ziyi asked out of curiosity.
“I’m not sure. Perhaps the Ape King was in a closed-door cultivation and was only fully alarmed when the final Prohibition Array was disrupted, prompting it to retaliate brutally.”
“Or, the Ape King deliberately let the Cultivators be, using them to dismantle the Prohibition Array, choosing to strike in the end when it could reap all the benefits.”
“There could also be a command from Wanliu Master after his death, that only when the final prohibition is broken can the Ape King intervene.”
“But no matter what, the Golden Core cave dwelling has long been in possession of the Ape King, and no one else could get a hand on it.”
Zhou Sui shook his head.
No one knew what the Ape King was thinking.
But what was certain was that, with the Ape King guarding Wanliu Master’s cave dwelling, only a Golden Core Cultivator could do something about it.
Otherwise, no one else stood a chance.
He didn’t even want to know what the underlying reasons were.
All he needed to know was that the cave dwelling was highly dangerous, and that he couldn’t explore it. That was more than enough.
Not everything in this world needed to be accounted for. It’s better to be in the dark sometimes..
