Zi Chen was pleasantly surprised by the effects brought about by the successful fusion of the six wings. It could even be said that he was ecstatic.
With the fusion of the six wings, his battle strength had increased by a level. The Thunder Clan's supreme treasure, the Heavenly Thunder Wings, was naturally worthy of its reputation. Moreover, there was a very obvious black demonic Qi on the wings that had yet to be completely dispelled. Once Zi Chen completely dispelled the demonic Qi, the six wings would probably still have room to grow.
With the fusion of the six wings and the increase in battle strength, there was no point in continuing to stay in the periphery. No matter what was waiting for them in the depths, they had to go in.
Under Zi Chen's signal, the devil ape quickly entered the Sky Stream Mountains.
After seeing the two towering peaks in the distance, the devil ape felt a wave of pressure. At the same time, it transmitted a message to Zi Chen, "There should be many experts hidden here. I feel a very oppressive aura. There must be Emptiness Realm experts, and maybe even Corporeal Realm experts."
"No worries. Find what you want first."
Zi Chen replied. If it was before, he would naturally be somewhat wary of Corporeal Realm experts. However, with the help of the Thunder Wings, he now had the strength of the Emptiness Realm. Although he didn't dare to say that he could kill Corporeal Realm experts, he could at least protect himself.
"He's here, he's here."
The hidden experts of the Demon Clan all exclaimed when they saw the arrival of the devil ape.
"Be careful. Don't let him detect you. Let him pass." Mote transmitted a message.
The devil ape quickly arrived at the foot of the Sky Stream Mountains. The entrance to the Sky Stream Mountains was between the two towering peaks. As for behind the peaks, there was only darkness, as if there was nothingness.
With a flash of light, Zi Chen appeared.
Sure enough, as soon as he appeared, he felt an indescribable pressure. Zi Chen smiled bitterly and said, "This is the invisible pressure created by the gathering of experts. It seems that not only is there a Corporeal Realm expert in the dark, there is more than one. As for Emptiness Realm experts, there are even more."
"Then what should we do?" the devil ape asked.
Zi Chen swept a glance into the distance and said, "They haven't made a move yet. They must be very interested in what you have. The battle should be happening inside. When the time comes, you have to be careful. If possible, I will stop them first and you can find it yourself."
The devilish ape nodded.
As the demonic ape strode forward, the seal of the Sky Stream Mountain Range appeared. Many years ago, many cultivators had tried to break the seal, but they had not been able to do so. Instead, they had almost caused the Sky Stream Mountain Range to disappear.
The demonic ape's hands moved about in the void, using its own blood to draw out an imprint. This was something from its inherited memories.
The imprint moved forward and fused with the seal in front of it.
A short moment later, the seal began to tremble. Then, like a wave of water, it parted to both sides, revealing a massive door.
The devilish ape and Zi Chen looked at each other and entered.
Just as the two of them entered, many black shadows flashed and disappeared.
After breaking the seal and entering the mountain stream, the two of them heard the rumbling sound of water flowing. That was the sound of water flowing down from the mountain peak, forming two waterfalls. The sound of the waterfalls was extremely loud, and the water was also pure black, but it contained extremely pure spiritual energy.
"This is spiritual water." Zi Chen was puzzled.
"This is the Demonic Spring. Back then, the experts of our demonic ape clan spent a lot of effort to build it," the devilish ape explained.
"The effect of this Demonic Spring is equivalent to that of Liquefied Origin Energy, but its effect is better. It consumes a lot of Origin Energy, but as long as you drink some of this Demonic Spring, your Origin Energy will naturally recover."
When Zi Chen heard this, a shocked expression appeared on his face. He asked, "Any realm is fine."
The devilish ape thought for a moment and said, "Any realm below the Heaven Realm should be fine."
Zi Chen's eyes immediately lit up. He said, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take it. Are you waiting for them to take it?"
With that, Zi Chen rushed toward the Demonic Spring.
And these mana sources, which formed waterfalls and rivers, were simply inexhaustible.
Looking at the anxious Zi Chen, the corners of the devilish ape's mouth twitched. He said, "This Demonic Spring is unique to the Demon Race. It's useless to humans."
"Ah." Zi Chen was stunned. Then, his face was full of disappointment.
Seeing that Zi Chen's temperament was similar to that of a monk, the devilish ape couldn't help but laugh.
Then, he quickly went forward and took some of the Demonic Spring.
"Why didn't you take all of it?" Zi Chen asked, puzzled.
"This is something our ancestors created. Outsiders can't take it. As for those people, they can at most take some of it."
After taking the Demonic Spring, the two went deep into the mountain stream.
In the distance, many Demon Race experts looked at the two with an itch in their hearts. They couldn't wait to kick them away because they had been eyeing the Demonic Spring for a long time.
When the two finally went deep, the others breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flashed to the two waterfalls.
Then, one after another, they began to wantonly take the Demonic Spring as much as they could.
In the Demon Race, this kind of thing was definitely a high-grade luxury. Even the Human Race couldn't take it out. Only the Earth Race could use it.
However, the Demonic Spring was very rare. In the entire Dark Continent, the largest Demonic Spring belonged to the Sky Splitting Battle Ape bloodline. It actually formed two waterfalls.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths …
As many people greedily took the Demonic Spring, it was obvious that the Demonic Spring was decreasing.
However, these people didn't have the awareness to stop while they were ahead. They just wanted to take all the Demonic Spring.
"Rumble …" "Rumble …"
Suddenly, the two mountains started to tremble violently as if there was an earthquake. Many Demonic Springs also started to tremble violently because of the tremors, splashing many small drops of water.
"What's going on?"
"Did we trigger something?"
Everyone was puzzled and shocked. The speed of taking the Demonic Spring increased by a lot.
However, while the mountains were trembling, the Demonic Spring had already dried up. Then, the two physical mountains gradually turned into nothingness and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
The mountains and the Demonic Spring disappeared together. Everyone was dumbfounded and stared in disbelief.
An Emptiness Realm expert suddenly cursed, "Damn it. It must be the restriction set by the Sky Splitting Battle Ape bloodline back then."
"It's gone. So many Demonic Springs are gone."
While the mountains were trembling, Zi Chen and the Demonic Ape had already gone deep into a dense forest. The forest was filled with ancient, pitch-black trees that towered into the sky and blotted out the sun. Every ancient tree exuded an extremely dense Demonic Spring. This caused the Demonic Spring here to be much denser than the outside world. If the Demon Race cultivated here, they would definitely be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.
The Demonic Ape pointed at the ancient trees and said, "These are all Demonic Ancient Trees. They can exude an extremely dense Demonic Spring. Every one of them would be a supreme treasure in the outside world. Even Reality Realm experts would fight to the death for them."
These ancient trees were very mystical. However, they weren't the only ones here. Thus, Zi Chen said, "There should be quite a few Reality Realm experts here this time. These things don't seem to have any seals. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to leave them here."
The Demonic Ape smiled and said, "Don't worry. No one can take these things away except for me. Even the Demonic Springs from before have already disappeared. Let's go. This isn't even the most mystical part. I'll take you to see a supreme treasure that even those below the Heaven Realm would go crazy for."
A supreme treasure that even those below the Heaven Realm would go crazy for. Seeing the Demonic Ape so certain, Zi Chen's face immediately lit up with curiosity.
As they went deeper into the forest, Zi Chen saw large patches of medicinal fields. The ancient herbs in these fields were undoubtedly black. It wasn't quite right to call them ancient herbs. They should be called Ancient Herb Kings, Ancient Herb Sovereigns, or Ancient Herb Spirits.
After being nourished by Demonic Spring for more than a hundred thousand years, the age of these ancient herbs had undoubtedly exceeded their original age. They had all lived for hundreds of thousands of years. In addition, Zi Chen also saw many manifested creatures beside some of the ancient herbs. These creatures didn't panic when they saw people and were playing in the fields.
Looking at the medicinal field, the demonic ape said, "These things were planted by the seniors of our Sky Shatterer lineage at great cost. Back then, they should have been multicolored. However, after being affected by demonic power, they mutated. Still, their effects are definitely not weak."
Zi Chen saw that there were at least dozens of stalks in the medicinal fields that were surging with pure Rule Power. He immediately sighed and said, "The things here can be called a land of treasures."
Following the path, they passed through a medicinal field and arrived at an arched bridge. Under the bridge, a black river flowed.
Something that could appear here was naturally not an ordinary river. This was a black Demonic Spring that was second only to the Demonic Springs. It was very useful for cultivators below the Earth Prime Stage. However, it was obvious that these things were only decorations here.
The black river emitted light. Vaguely, one could see pieces of black crystals within it. These were crystals formed from Demonic Spring that were too pure.
The two of them passed through the arched bridge and saw numerous buildings. Those were all black castles that should be where the Heaven Rending Battle Ape bloodline lived. However, there weren't many castles. There were only a dozen or so.
Seeming to have guessed Zi Chen's doubts, the Demonic Ape explained, "Our Heaven Rending Battle Ape bloodline has very few people, and our descendants are pitifully few. According to our inherited memories, when we were at our peak, we didn't even have more than twenty people. These castles are mostly occupied by servants."
As a higher lifeform, it was understandable that the Heaven Rending Battle Apes were so few in number. It was just like the Dragon-Tiger Sovereign and the Flying Divine Tiger. There was no second Heaven Rending Battle Ape in the entire Martial Heaven Continent.
The two of them passed by a large hall. The Demonic Ape pointed at it and said, "There are quite a few Earth Armaments in there. If you need them, you can go and take a few."
"Earth Armaments?" Zi Chen frowned. "Don't Earth Armaments dissipate when their master dies?"
The Demonic Ape said, "Those aren't pure Earth Armaments. They are Earth Armaments used by beasts. Some of them have sealed their beast souls within them. Although they aren't pure, their power is definitely not small."
The Demonic Ape's words confirmed Zi Chen's guess.
Once a beast reached the Earth Prime level, it would become one with its weapon. However, if it was killed and its soul sealed within an Earth Armament, it would become an Earth Armament.
The only difference was that this Earth Armament couldn't continue to evolve. It could only remain an Earth Armament.
Zi Chen shook his head. "Forget it. I have quite a few Earth Armaments, and they aren't weak."
