Starfire Flowing Light Sword Intent descended, with a thread of sword qi intertwined, as Su Zhan's sword struck the giant ape's fist!
"Boom!"
Su Zhan's expression changed slightly, and he lightly tapped the ground with his foot, retreating more than ten meters to dissipate the force that had struck him.
Indeed, a fifth-level demon beast possessed extraordinary strength to overpower most human cultivators of the same level in close combat!
Furthermore, this giant ape seemed superior in strength and defense!
Su Zhan saw the black light emanating from its body, restraining his sword qi. The giant ape only took two steps back, and a thought crossed Su Zhan's mind.
His cultivation in the Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique was nearing the Minor Achievement level. Coincidentally, this creature possessed remarkable defense but lacked agility. Perhaps he could use it as a whetstone to sharpen his abilities?
With this idea, the restless Great Sun Star Sword between Su Zhan's eyebrows quickly calmed down.
"Human, you may be strong, but under my fist, you'll end up like mush!"
The giant ape was also somewhat surprised that Su Zhan could withstand its strike without injury. The Giant Ape then roared angrily, and black light burst throughout its body as it once again threw a punch towards Su Zhan.
"Boom!"
The air exploded!
The giant ape's fist was the size of a kitchen and contained tremendous power, capable of even shattering the air itself!
As the punch was about to land, Su Zhan moved, executing the Shadow Movement technique. His figure flickered and vanished from its original position, leaving behind a shadow.
The giant ape's punch missed its target, and before it could turn around, a beam of sword light descended upon its back!
"Bang!"
The black light shattered, leaving a bloody wound on its back, with black fur stained by red blood!
Roaring in immense pain, the giant ape became enraged and turned around to launch another strike.
However, Su Zhan had already retreated more than twenty meters. As the giant ape swung its punch, he changed direction and launched another attack!
Although the giant ape possessed tremendous destructive power and tough defense, it was impossible to completely ignore Su Zhan's attacks.
After a series of battles, the giant ape sustained three or four additional wounds.
The wounds were not severe but painful!
The giant ape was now truly furious.
It even nearly destroyed the Star Element Fruit tree with a single punch!
Su Zhan was surprised and quickly seized the opportunity to pluck the Star Element Fruit. It was only then that he continued practicing his sword technique with a calm mind.
Ten minutes passed.
Within a five-mile radius of the battle between Su Zhan and the giant ape, trees toppled, leaving many craters in the ground, and dust filled the air, creating a chaotic scene.
Most of the destruction was caused by the enraged giant ape. Some of it was also due to Su Zhan's sword qi.
Feeling that he was getting closer to the Minor Achievement level in the Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique, Su Zhan smiled as he looked at the furious and helpless giant ape.
Having a training partner is great!
If this continues, I will surely soon break through to the Minor Achievement level in the Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique!
"Phew!"
A gust of wind could be heard behind him. Su Zhan didn't need to look to know that the kitchen-sized fist was coming again. He executed the Shadow Movement technique and also took out a pill to swallow.
Refining Halo activated, and the pill was fully refined within seconds.
Suddenly, his depleted true qi recovered to about one-third.
He then took out two more pills and swallowed them.
His condition had now fully recovered!
This scene further infuriated the giant ape.
"Sly human, even if you have pills to restore your strength, they take a long time to refine. And your endurance is far lower than mine! Let's see how long you can last!"
Another half hour passed.
Observing Su Zhan occasionally taking out pills to restore his condition to full, vibrant, and without any trace of fatigue, the giant ape's mentality began to crumble!
Didn't the tribe chief say that the pills used by human cultivators are good but take a long time to refine?
Didn't the tribe chief say that humans are weak, with weak stamina, and unable to last long in battles?
What is this? Did I encounter a fake human cultivator today???
Seeing his own body covered in wounds while Su Zhan remained unharmed, the giant ape finally started to feel afraid.
Continuing like this... will surely lead to its death!
"Sly human, I will unleash my full potential!"
The giant ape roared, and its body turned pitch black.
Is this giant ape really going to... go all out?
I heard that some demon beasts have innate abilities that are extremely powerful, but their activation requires a great cost. It seems... hmm?
Su Zhan's expression turned serious as he backed away from a distance. He was considering whether to use the Great Sun Star Sword to end the battle when he witnessed the giant ape's roar, followed by the ape falling into a crawling position and fleeing hastily...
What is this?
Did it use its full potential just to escape?
Su Zhan was astonished. He didn't expect such a turn of events.
Seeing the giant ape already running far away, Su Zhan had no intention of chasing it.
Lack of agility doesn't mean slow speed.
Just like a wild boar, it may not be nimble, but it runs fast!
Considering the speed demonstrated by the giant ape, Su Zhan estimated that even if he pursued, he probably wouldn't be able to catch it unless he exerted himself. So he didn't bother.
The most important thing now is to practice the Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique to the Minor Achievement level!
The insights he gained from the battle with the giant ape emerged in Su Zhan's mind, and he began to ponder.
Sometimes, he would swing his sword to test his thoughts.
Two hours later.
A dazzling beam of starlight, as sturdy as possible, shot out with a fiery tail.
"Chi chi chi!"
In an area several kilometers ahead, all the trees were cut in half, and the beam of sword energy struck the top of a small mountain.
The mountaintop crumbled!
Minor Achievement level in the Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique!
Su Zhan smiled. If he met Ye Yunxuan now, he might not even need to use the Sun God Divine Body. Ye Yunxuan wouldn't be able to withstand a single attack from his Starfire sword qi!
"The time for the opening of the Dark Star Forest Secret Realm is limited. I need... hmm? What's that?"
Su Zhan's gaze flickered as he looked in a certain direction.
There, divine light soared into the sky, scattering clouds in the sky!
A precious treasure had appeared!
Without hesitation, Su Zhan flew towards it!
...
Not long after, he arrived at the location of the divine light.
In the middle of the forest stood a ten-meter-tall Star Element Fruit tree!
On the tree, there was only one Star Element Fruit, but the fruit was as big as a watermelon. Divine light radiated from the enormous Star Element Fruit, shooting straight into the sky!
"Brother Su?"
A voice suddenly sounded.
Su Zhan turned around and was surprised to see that it was Prince Xia Qihai!
"Brother Xia."
"Brother Su, are you also interested in the divine light? But we shouldn't even think about this Star God Fruit. There are too many powerful geniuses drawn by the divine light..."
Xia Qiyuan said helplessly, "I won't talk about others, but I just saw Hu Yue, whose strength is only inferior to the top three Core Yuan Realm experts among the geniuses this time! And not to mention those people, did you see that terrifying demon ape? It just tore apart the demon beasts that were originally guarding here! Its strength is estimated to be on par with the mid-stage Core Yuan Realm!"
After hearing Xia Qiyuan's words, Su Zhan felt a little astonishment in his heart.
Star God Fruit. So this is the Star God Fruit!
The divine fruit born after the mutation of the Star Element Fruit tree. Sixty years ago, someone happened to encounter and obtain the Star God Fruit, directly reaching the Starlight Holy Body!
If I could get it... Su Zhan's gaze instantly became filled with excitement.
"Brother Su, let's stay here and observe! With our strength, treasures like this and us..." Xia Qihai stopped mid-sentence when he saw Su Zhan already walking towards the Star God Fruit tree. His face immediately changed.
