First Battle After Leaving the Mountain – Overpowering the Titan Giant Ape

The Titan Giant Ape's enormous eyes were locked onto Nangong Lingyun.

Its body appeared motionless, but soul power was silently gathering within.

The massive, gnarled muscles—like ancient tree roots—seemed still on the surface, but underneath, they were tightly wound.

Just the slightest provocation, and it would launch an attack.

As a hundred-thousand-year quasi-divine beast, being in such close contact, and with Nangong Lingyun not concealing his aura, Er Ming already sensed a subtle threat.

Xiao Wu noticed something wrong and hurriedly shouted:

"Er Ming, don't be rash! He's my friend. He came back this time to ask for your help!"

However, rather than dispel the Titan Giant Ape's killing intent, her words seemed to ignite a fuse.

The moment she finished speaking, that pillar-like massive arm suddenly swung down, slamming fiercely at the spot where Nangong Lingyun stood.

With a loud "BOOM!", dirt and stone flew. A deep pit had appeared where he was.

Over a dozen large trees collapsed instantly, and the ground around them shook violently. Two thick cracks extended from the edge of the pit outward.

Even an ordinary Titan Giant Ape is born with an extraordinary bloodline, ranking among the super class, and even among super beasts, it's top-tier.

It possesses nearly perfect six-dimensional attributes: attack, defense, speed, strength, physical body, and spirit—flawless across the board.

In addition, it has two rare attribute abilities: earth and gravity.

And Er Ming, having cultivated for a hundred thousand years, had his bloodline purified and evolved many times, and he guarded the outer gate of the Lake of Life.

Over time, the benefits he gained there were substantial.

In actual combat, his strength probably rivaled or exceeded that of most fierce beasts.

Nangong Lingyun didn't get angry. In fact, he smiled with excitement and said:

"Xiao Wu, let me spar with this elder."

As he spoke, a dazzling golden light exploded from his dantian and rapidly spread over his body,

causing his entire body to swell. In a blink, he transformed into a ten-meter-tall giant.

Around his waist, six thick black rings of light, clearly different from ordinary soul rings, shimmered.

Then, a spear and a sword leaped out from the outermost two rings and automatically landed in the giant's hands.

After six years of grueling training, Nangong Lingyun was eager to test how far his strength had come.

The simulated opponents in the virtual combat space never quite matched the satisfaction of a real, bone-crunching fight.

As for the danger…

Angel Yan never left his side—it's just that ordinary people wouldn't notice her presence.

"Elder Er Ming, please enlighten me!"

Nangong Lingyun slightly bowed,

then swung the giant Violet Lightning Prison Sword, now enlarged to match his size. A streak of violet-gold divine lightning shot from the sword's tip.

This was only a probing strike.

Whether the opponent dodged or blocked, he had follow-up moves ready.

Unexpectedly, the Titan Giant Ape didn't flinch. He charged straight through the divine lightning and landed a fierce punch on the golden giant's shoulder.

A burn mark over a meter in diameter appeared on Er Ming's chest, while Nangong Lingyun staggered back three steps.

"Oh? You wanna play like that, huh?"

"First Soul Skill – Heaven and Earth Manifestation!"

An excited voice roared out.

The golden giant's surface burst into brilliant golden flames, which surged upward wildly, quickly forming an even taller illusionary figure.

Although it was described as "illusionary", aside from fine facial details, everything else looked extremely solid.

Clad in heavy armor, golden helmet on head, a cloak fluttering behind like a battle flag—

It was a majestic Martial God.

The golden flame giant reached fifty meters in height, more than twice as tall as the Titan Giant Ape.

Nangong Lingyun grabbed Er Ming by the neck with his left hand, while his right hand balled into a fist and swung from behind, smashing toward his face.

No techniques, just raw brute force.

One punch,

Two punches,

Three punches.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Moments later, the Titan Giant Ape was sent flying, flattening a row of trees and carving a deep trench more than ten meters wide into the earth.

From afar, Xiao Wu panicked and shouted:

"Brother Yun! Er Ming is my younger brother—he doesn't mean harm. Please don't hurt him!"

But this time, it was the Titan Giant Ape who spoke:

"Stay out of it."

The voice was deep and resonant, like it came with built-in loudspeakers.

Er Ming stood up from the ground.

His knees bent slightly, and his massive body seemed weightless as he shot into the air, crashing down toward Nangong like a mountain falling from the sky.

Just before landing, a deep and overwhelming aura of soul power rippled out in all directions.

With it, the already terrifying descent speed of the Titan Giant Ape doubled.

At the same time, Nangong Lingyun felt his body suddenly become incredibly heavy, and his once-fluid movements turned sluggish.

"A domain?I've got one too.Universal Harmony!"

Nangong Lingyun roared back.

The energy of heaven and earth in the surrounding space was rapidly drawn in, and the size of his Martial God Form grew again, with all details becoming sharper. He crossed his arms above his head to block.

He had plenty of ways to avoid the blow—teleportation, spatial barriers, even the Blue Silver Emperor's control skills could stall.

But he didn't even consider those, choosing instead the dumbest method:

Take it head-on.

The two giants collided with a thunderous crash. The air at the center rippled violently, like a massive bomb had gone off.

The giant's legs sank deep into the ground.

His arms—bearing the brunt—each shattered halfway, though the raging golden flames immediately began repairing them.

The Titan Giant Ape didn't fare much better—toppling over, one of his legs visibly twitched.

Nangong Lingyun, not letting up, lowered the Martial God Form's head and rammed straight into Er Ming's chest.

Another loud BANG shook the earth, leaving only the ape's two furry legs sticking out of the ground.

From afar, Xiao Wu's face flushed red:

"Stop it! Both of you! If anyone keeps fighting, I'm ignoring you!"

Before she even finished,

The Martial God Form's arms had already regenerated. One hand propped itself up, trying to pull out the buried legs,

while the other turned into a fist and hammered down again with no delay.

The Titan Giant Ape's body suddenly expanded. In an instant, it grew even larger than the Martial God Form—likely using some explosive secret art.

Then, lying in the crater, he kicked both legs toward the giant's chest.

A golden man and a giant ape—

Neither retained the poise of a genius soul master or a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. There were few flashy techniques—just elbowing, kicking, hammer swinging, suplexes, even slapping...

But the destruction was very real—the ground collapsed rapidly, and the tremors could be heard ten kilometers away.
