Chapter 2316: The Demon Ape Carries Mountains

Random recommendation:

The south is a place of absolute isolation, untouched by human habitation since ancient times. Now, a massive city has taken root, and mechanical roads pave the way. High bridges are built over majestic mountain ridges, and the heavenly moat has been transformed into a flat path. Consequently, human spirit surges here.

I see and hear that an immortal boat has arrived from the north, suspended high in the air, attracting countless gazes. When the most famous True Person in the world today arrives, even in this renowned center of learning, many people still admire his name and watch, vying to witness a legend.

On the pure white immortal boat, Jiang Wang stands with his hands behind his back at the bow, quietly waiting for Shu Wei Jun. He has no desire to descend into this giant city.

Ye Qing Yu asks, "When we passed by Yun Guo just now, did my father say something to you?" The See-Hear Immortal Boat is too fast, and the vast Qichang mountain range was just a blur. Confined by her cultivation, Ye Qing Yu only noticed a movement of clouds above Bao Xue Peak, possibly her old father giving some instruction, but she couldn't investigate the details.

On New Year's Eve of the 3928th year of the Dao Calendar, she was with Jiang Wang and Jiang An An at Shantai Xiguan, only sending her old father a letter of blessing. Earlier, when she went out with Jiang An An, she said they were going to explore and play in the Wumeng Du mountain range, a quick trip back and forth. But she's been gone for so many days, and now early in the year, she's still following Jiang Wang as he challenges people everywhere. Now, passing by her home but not entering, her heart is filled with guilt.

Jiang Wang says, "Oh," and replies, "Cabinet Master Ye enthusiastically invited me down for a drink. I was busy traveling, so I just told him next time. Don't worry, our relationship is very good."

Ye Qing Yu gives him a side-eye. "Whether your relationship is good or not, what does that have to do with me?"

"The East Manor is too insensible!" Bai Yu Xia shouts. "What kind of person is Cabinet Master Ye? It's the New Year, and he asks you down for a drink. Just go have a drink. What can it affect? Your duel with Shu Wei Jun, can one or two cups of wine influence it?"

On the See-Hear Immortal Boat, everyone has their own cultivation. Chu Yao is always obedient. When told to review Dao scriptures, he ponders them word by word. Although Jiang An An loves to play, she won't skip her homework. Even Yu Juan has just advanced to the Divine Realm and has much to consolidate. Only this Shopkeeper Bai is scattered and lacks focus. He's truly been led astray by Xiang Qian.

Jiang Wang looks at him faintly. "I do indeed have matters that prevent me from being free. How about this, Shopkeeper Bai, you are a reasonable person. Now, I'll use the See-Hear Immortal Boat to send you. You can go to Bao Xue Peak on my behalf and have a drink."

Bai Yu Xia says, "Hey," and doesn't respond.

The See-Hear Immortal Boat stays for a while, and then Shu Wei Jun hurries to catch up, stepping directly in front of the boat.

"I've kept you waiting, True Person Jiang!" Although he is very old, he doesn't act his age and actively bows. "Some trivial matters held me up. Shall we begin now?" He naturally wouldn't mention that he had just overturned a table in a Mo family internal meeting, and simply gets straight to the point.

Jiang Wang looks left and right. "Right here?"

Shu Wei Jun laughs heartily. "Let's open the eyes of the world! Let them see how I lose this battle, and what harm there is in that!"

Jiang Wang doesn't say anything about victory or defeat being uncertain. He came with the confidence to defeat all martial grandmasters, and to be defeated by all martial grandmasters. What is there to be polite about? He simply walks down the immortal boat and confronts Shu Wei Jun in the sea of clouds. "Grandmaster is someone I deeply respect. I will go all out in pursuit of this victory."

Chu Yao recites a passage from the Dao scriptures with his mouth, but his eyes involuntarily look outside the boat. Master is too imposing! When will Little Chu be like this!

Shu Wei Jun laughs boldly. "No True Person under heaven can hold back in front of you, Jiang Wang, and the old man is the same! Please have the determination to beat the old man to death, so that the old man can feel respect!"

He clenches his fists, and his upper clothes burst open on the spot, revealing the profound muscle lines. Yuan Force flows through the ravines, emitting the sound of wind passing through a long gorge. His muscle lines are like naturally formed arrays! Once exposed to the air, they naturally trigger rule reactions. Compared to flesh and blood living beings, this is another kind of top martial artist's body, currently uniquely possessed by Shu Wei Jun, considered divine work of the axe.

The Mo family has many cultivators who use mechanisms to transform their physical bodies, carve array patterns on their bodies, and replace flesh and blood with steel, thereby surpassing the limitations of their will and breaking the shackles of the flesh. Shu Wei Jun claims to also walk this path, but he tempers himself with the way of cultivation. Every detail of his physical body is naturally generated after cultivating to a certain level. How can axe and chisel compare to the work of nature? The highest pursuit of mechanical art is to blend with nature, creating divine work of the axe. He also pursues the embodiment of natural Dao marks in his body. After more than a thousand years of refinement, it is already approaching perfection. Only the realm limits it.

Such a physical body, merely standing there, can make people feel a terrifying pressure like an abyss or a sea. It is like being under a volcano, where lava surges in the dark, and a world-ending disaster could occur at any moment. Jiang Wang's pupils rotate, using his gaze to carve into this martial body, exploring or destroying those perfect Dao marks. No kind of rock or steel can block his gaze. Moreover, there is Samadhi True Fire, which rises with his gaze and burns wherever he looks.

Shu Wei Jun doesn't take any action. Only wisps of black flames burn up from under his feet, instantly covering his martial body. They suddenly stop outside the Samadhi True Fire. Jiang Wang's immortal eyes can only see a circle of black flames outlining a human shape.

Facing such an opponent, any probing move is useless. Only a true killer move can force out the waves beneath the deep sea abyss. Jiang Wang leaps up, holding his sword in front, simple and direct, advancing to the central palace!

*Pa da, pa da, pa da.*

Shu Wei Jun approaches with large strides, each step stepping open a large expanse of cloud ripples, as if walking on an angry sea. The two meet head-on above the sea of clouds like this, sword tip and fist peak colliding without yielding ground!

*Hong long long!*

People see the sky dome like a broken mirror, filled with cracks after this collision. The ten thousand li sea of clouds clears instantly. Only the area directly impacting Jiang Wang and Shu Wei Jun is still flat and calm, showing no waves.

Shu Wei Jun's fist head is still moving forward. Long Xiang Si is pressed down by half an inch, like drooping rice ears. Purely in terms of physical body, Jiang Wang, who has been refined countless times, is still inferior to the martial artist. This is not because he is not doing enough, but because the paths are fundamentally different.

"Body, mind, intent, spirit—" Jiang Wang's thin lips part slightly, one word at a time, and he says softly, "Open!"

As if ancient shackles are broken, eternal fetters are already cleared. The evil beast hiding in the shadows of space and time bares its fangs at this moment. Such resonance occurs between heaven and earth. After releasing the law of Three Treasures and Four Awareness, Jiang Wang's physical body can also naturally summon heaven and earth. Long Xiang Si suddenly straightens! Shu Wei Jun is immediately bounced back. Jiang Wang resists the fist with his sword, pushing him back. Shu Wei Jun surprisingly retracts his fist!

At this moment, his middle door is wide open, as if completely defenseless, quite like luring the enemy in. Jiang Wang doesn't hesitate, even if it's a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, he will go. Long Xiang Si drives straight in! The sword tip collides with Shu Wei Jun's chest, actually emitting the sound of metal and iron. Looking at the world, even tracing back to ancient times, theoretically no True Person could physically resist Jiang Wang's sword. But at this moment, Shu Wei Jun's situation is very different.

The cracks in the sky dome always exist, always restoring and cracking open again. Around Shu Wei Jun's body, space cracks also float, like black ribbons. They are not disordered, but instead are tamed by Shu Wei Jun's physical body, floating neatly and orderly, seeming to become his cloak, even a part of his body.

*Hong! Hong! Hong!* His heart emits a shocking roar.

The Dao marks formed by his muscle ravines seem to connect with the space cracks. His physical body is a natural array, echoing with the outside time and space, becoming the core of another great array of heaven and earth. This is the "Small Qian Kun Wan Fang Ding Yu Array."

The Mo family's achievements in array art are among the best in the world. Those who can compare with them are only the now-perished Old Xia Tai Clan, the Jing Country She Sheng Cao Clan, and the Li Country after Hong Jun Yan's return. In the Dao of runes and arrays, the Mo family is a unique existence. It can even be said that the Mo family opened up this direction of array Dao. If the array Dao had not already declined, the Mo family could have relied on this to return to the peak.

Shu Wei Jun's heavenly work refining his body – using the body as an array – cannot be said to have opened up an unprecedented path, but it has indeed pushed the imagination of the Mo family's predecessors to the extreme. He often says he is stupid and can only do one thing well. But after long effort, he is so strong that he has no opponent in this area.

Jiang Wang's sword collided with such a great array. It was truly like an old tree hitting a mountain, and the next moment it was deeply stuck in the mud. The space around Shu Wei Jun's body is completely controlled by his will, all for the "Small Qian Kun." All the rules of the present world are changed by him. In an instant, he twists and pulls his opponent thousands of times. If it were an idle cultivator, they would be torn apart by now. Even a top Divine Realm expert couldn't withstand a single thought.

Jiang Wang, however, grips his sword without moving. His sword seems cast in his hand, and his arm is like carved stone or molded iron. In this chaotic realm where all rules are plundered by his opponent, he fixes his body like a mountain, "True Self Unmoving." From the void behind him, a virtual shadow stands up and instantly condenses into reality. It is another fierce god, evil demon, towering magic ape.

*Om! Ma! Hong!*

This magic ape bares its teeth and closes its eyes, extending four arms, wearing a chain of fierce flames bearing skulls around its neck. There are nine skulls in total, each like a small sun, connected by thin fire lines in the middle. These skulls are a "gift" he received from Ghost Dragon Demon Monarch during his time in the demon realm. Not to mention how precious they are, they are just a small plaything. It is an ancient Dragon Clan fierce art that can suppress demonic nature. He refined them with Samadhi True Fire and turned them into this, which is displayed on the magic ape's body. He also sent Ao Kui a gift – several Demon Slaying Seals deduced from the Taixu Illusion Realm's Dao Platform.

No matter what kind of being Ao Kui is, one thing is absolutely certain – he is definitely not loyal. Not to the Demon Ancestor, not to the demon clan, not to anything. He betrayed the Sea Clan during his time in the sea, he betrayed Jiang Wang while by his side, he can betray ghosts if he is a ghost, and he can betray dragons if he is a dragon. What's a demon? How can he, Ao Kui, not betray? After several years of getting along and countless schemes and fights, Jiang Wang understands Ao Kui too well! The only reason Ao Kui is loyal is that loyalty can bring him greater interest than betrayal.

So after contacting Seven Hate Demon Monarch, he immediately tried to contact this fellow again. He truly is someone who can't be idle. Just say that if you have to contact an internal traitor on the demon clan side, at least Ao Kui has more experience as an internal traitor. In the matter of "betrayal," Ghost Dragon Demon Monarch is much more reliable than Seven Hate Demon Monarch.

This time, the magic ape has four arms. Two palms are joined in front of its body, baring teeth and closing eyes, half compassionate, half ferocious. The other two arms are extended, muscles like hills, pushing horizontally with upright palms against the two peaks.

*Hong long long—* The ten thousand zhang high peak couldn't get close. The magic ape carries the mountain, and the mountain does not move forward!

Shu Wei Jun no longer cares about that martial arts true form that supports the sky and mountain. He throws off the mountain shadow with both hands, joins his palms together, clamps Long Xiang Si, and lifts it high, making it pass over his shoulder. While maintaining the posture of clamping the sword, he simply and neatly lifts his knee for a collision!

"Wu Xin Collision"!

Reaching Shu Wei Jun's realm, he has already returned to simplicity, and great skill appears clumsy. His attacks are extremely simple, yet with one opening and one closing, they exhaust infinite power. This knee collision seems to break the sky dome of the present world, causing a group of black hole-like dark shadows to appear in the sky.

*Bang bang!* Every bystander of this battle feels their heart suddenly stop for an instant!

If Shu Wei Jun had accidentally released his attack, just after this knee lift, so many observers at the scene, below the Divine Realm, would have suffered cracked hearts and died. Even in the Divine Realm, they would be crippled if not dead.

In the moment when almost everyone's heart stopped beating, Jiang Wang's heart blossomed with immortal red and gold light. Within this Wu Xin Collision, he remained firm and unmoving. Jiang Wang's sword is clamped by Shu Wei Jun's hands, framed on Shu Wei Jun's shoulder. Shu Wei Jun's knee lifts up, colliding with his heart, producing an echo like an old monk striking a bell. The cast iron-like knee obstructs the red and gold heart light and is bounced back without getting through.

Without waiting for Shu Wei Jun to make another move, Jiang Wang suddenly lowers his head. A headbutt, head-to-head collision! Perhaps it was the reason for summoning the magic ape, but at this moment he also appears somewhat barbaric. His physical body is not enough to compare with Shu Wei Jun's, even with the addition of the law of Three Treasures and Four Awareness, his physical strength is still insufficient. This is "damaging the enemy eight hundred, self-damaging one thousand." Shu Wei Jun's forehead is dented, but Jiang Wang's skull also emits a cracking sound.

The difference in physical strength is already very obvious, but he bares his teeth and delivers another headbutt! How could Shu Wei Jun shrink back? He responds with a headbutt without hesitation. The two top True Persons in the world fight like it's a street brawl.

Just as the heads of the two True Persons collide again, Jiang Wang's forehead suddenly emits a great golden light – it seems to become a head cast in red and gold, like a golden body statue! The immortal glory of the red heart is like the sun rising between two mountains. The extremely condensed "heart power" makes this head indestructible— Shu Wei Jun's skull, which was already densely covered with runes at some point, actually cracks open directly! Instant fresh blood flows all over his face. White mixed with red.

This feeling... is like two people agreeing to a head-to-head collision, but one side wears an iron helmet and the other side takes out a stone. In the end, the immortal red heart forehead wins by a narrow margin compared to the rune skull. Jiang Wang says nothing and slams down another headbutt! His actions are so barbaric, yet his expression is so calm, truly having the momentum to beat Shu Wei Jun to death here.

Shu Wei Jun's entire skull is dented by half. The space cracks around his body also release open at this moment, actually forming a small teleportation array. With an instant flash of light, he leaves the clamp and disappears. Jiang Wang lowers his head in the air, the crack on his forehead visible, the fresh blood of a True Person dripping, and just like this he looks down—

Shu Wei Jun stands swaying. He bares his teeth and grins, not hiding his pain, but his body's momentum is rising. He can impact and derive the Dao, but he insists on fighting within the realm of the 26th Heaven of Martial Dao. This is an absolutely fair slaughter within the Cave True Realm. He only seeks the absolutely true result, no matter what that result is.

"Grandmaster Shu, shall we continue?" Jiang Wang asks.

"Why not?" Shu Wei Jun says with a grin. "The Mo family has lost more than once or twice these years. Losing is not fearful, what is fearful is not having the courage to stand up again. I want them to see – an old and decaying person like me, a Mo disciple like me, one thousand and thirty-seven years old, I can still climb up, I can still fight!"
