Tainted will

Chapter 48 Golden-Moon Devil Ape.



Demon Beasts at the 4th tier in this forest were everywhere, but those in the 5th tier were rare. During the last month, He only met demon beasts at the spirit realm (tier 4) and below.

But now Bai Ming had finally met a low grade tier 5 demon beast, Golden-Moon devil ape.

The threat of a tier 5 was multiple times higher than a tier 4.

Bai Ming intensely stared at the 53 feet high golden moon devil ape, whose whole body seemed to have been bathed in dazzling golden drip.

In all honesty Bai Ming had no interest in engaging against this beast, even though he was able to fight head on against tier 4 beasts and even slay them, but against a tier 5 demon beast he would just walk the other way.

Usually that would be the case, but not today.

It was mainly due to that dark yellow beehive. It wasn't just some ordinary beehive, It was a rare material which could birth the element of gold in one's spirit base or make the gold elemental essence much more pure and smoother.

Generally speaking, once a person awakens his spirit root he would be blessed with the five most basic elements in their spirit base Fire, water, wind, wood and earth. Every cultivator would be able to manifest these elements and cultivate elemental arts regarding these five particular elements. But if one wanted to awaken other unique elements like thunder, ice, metal etc. They would either have to be born with a special physique or use precious treasures which can mystically birth these Unique elements in their spirit base.

Bai Ming watched the beehive like a rogue watching a beauty. A treasure this precious was naturally something Bai Ming desired, but these desires were not so easy to fullfill.

But making the impossible possible was something Bai Ming excelled at.

Bai Ming took out few beast cores from his bag of holding and placed them in his robes. All the beast cores he owned already contained his divine sense mark within them, he could destroy them whenever he wanted. But the explosions of these beast cores wouldn't send out qi waves, but had a different effect.

Primeval sword art - 3rd layer!

Three sword Phantoms materialized behind him, Bai Ming skillfully maneuvered them to be hidden in three different sides of the devil ape.

The first layer of the primeval sword art was a piercing type attack, which could utilize both his internal and body cultivation.

The second layer was also a low grade, mid range sword ray attack.

The third layer was a medium grade technique, with the ability to create three sword Phantoms with half-meter length each. This technique had the most flexibility, but its power was lacking compared to the fourth layer, which could send out a ten meter long sword Phantom. But what this technique lacked was flexibility, it could only move in a straight line unlike the 3rd layer.

As for the final layer, it was a high grade technique. This particular technique excelled in both large scale attacks and had greater strength, but this technique also lacked flexibility, it was simply too rigid.

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!

Bai Ming was still hiding in the shadows, as a dazzling rain of sword shadows suddenly darted towards the devil ape with heaven piercing might.

The devil ape screeched loudly, before standing right in front of the beehive with a defensive stance while facing the dazzling sword shower.

The devil ape inhaled a deep before letting out a terrifying shock wave.

The shockwave and the sword rain clashed, the sword Phantoms immediately turned into gold as their fearsome momentum came to a stop.

Bai Ming looked on with a cold expression.

"This berserk beehive is also quite attractive for this ape, fortunately its mobility is currently restricted while gaurding the beehive."

Bai Ming quickly placed a qi gathering formation and began recovering his spiritual essence, while he sent another terrifying sword shower towards the ape, the previous situation repeated once again as the sword Phantoms turned into gold again.

Bai Ming didn't stop, he persistently continued to send attacks after every single wave.

The 3rd wave, 4th wave, 6th wave, 11th wave.... it continued till the 27th wave.

Normally Bai Ming would run out of spiritual essence after the 21st wave, but because of the formation he was able to recover his spiritual essence rapidly.

After the 26th wave the devil ape didn't send out shockwave any longer, it had reached its limits. Anymore and it would injure itself from the side effects.

Bai Ming's eyes lit, as he watched the sword Phantoms hitting the devil ape's tough body. But there were only able to put slight scratches on its golden body.

After sending out seven more waves, the devil ape had numerous light wounds all over its bodies as ape blood seeped out from them.

The devil ape was after all a wild beast, after falling into a tough situation it began to panic.

It looked towards the beehive, there was slight amount of hesitation within its monkey eyes.

A dim light flickered within Bai Ming's eyes, He performed the 4th layer of the sword art, as a ten meter giant sword shadow imposingly plunged towards the devil ape.

"Its having thoughts of eating the beehive right away, it wanted to wait till the hive was more nutritious but now because of my strategic method of fighting it fell into difficulty, It is definitely unwilling to give up on the hive, I'll have to enter now."

The devil ape turned grim on the sight of the ferocious sword shadow, it fiercely struck out with its sharp claws.

Bam!

Blood tickled down from its claw as the ape shrieked from the pain, then it turned towards the beehive ready to devour it.

Bai Ming quickly laughed loudly capturing the ape's attention as he quickly entered the battlefield with an extremely evil killing intent.

The ape showed joy at Bai Ming's arrival as it stopped its actions, now that enemy was visible it could fight with much less restrictions. But after feeling Bai Ming's killing intent it became more serious.

Bai Ming's kill count may be low, but the killing intent he oozed made others feel the overwhelmingly evil aura within it.

In a split second, Bai Ming's pupils constricted. Without thinking twice, he directly used the the 1st layer of the sword art. Despite Bai Ming having a calm character, he couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat at this moment.

In the next instant, the Devil ape – who was atleast ten times bigger than him – suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ming and fiercely struck out with its sharp claws at Bai Ming's treasure head.

Bang.

The ape's attack was blocked by the sword art but Bai Ming spat blood as he was still sent flying, fortunately he was able to act quickly or else he might have really died.

Bai Ming crashed against myriad number of trees before finally coming to a stop forcefully, Both of his hands were completely mangled.

Bai Ming ignored the pain, he took one last look at the devil ape which was about to reach him. At the next instant Bai Ming crouched into a half-squat and leapt high into the air.

The devil ape followed soon after, jumping at him.

But due to being occupied with Bai Ming the devil ape didn't notice the three sword Phantoms which were previously hidden in the forest were rapidly moving the beehive away.

Woosh!

Hundred and eight sword Phantoms once again rained at the ape, but the devil ape seemed to have regained its lost ability as it sent a shockwave turning the swords into shining yellow gold.

But this small window of time was all that Bai Ming needed, as a ten meter long sword Phantom manifested itself. Bai Ming promptly grabbed it and took off in a straight line while quickly grabbing the beehive and disappearing.

The Devil ape couldn't maneuver itself in mid air, only when it landed on the ground did it turn back and take look at Bai Ming who had already flown quite far away, it looked a bit dissatisfied as it could not eat that annoying little fly. But then it's gaze landed on the previous location of the beehive.

Soon an extremely enraged cries continuously resounded throughout the dense forest.

Bai Ming had gotten on top of the sword Phantom, as he sat cross legged healing his wounds while inspecting the beehive. The beehive fragments were dark yellow in color, this beehive didn't have any honey but the hive it self was a treasure, Bai Ming smiled as he quickly stored it.

Moving on the air was much quicker and the obstacles which one would constantly face in forest could be ignored. His current speed could actually even slightly surpass his top movement speed.

Bai Ming from time to time would use this method to fly. But because he wanted some battle experience and also natural treasures he would travel by foot.

After flying for another twenty minutes, Bai Ming encountered a humongous tree in front of him, he had no choice but to get down as he could only make the sword move in single direction.

Bai Ming quickly jumped down, while the sword Phantom crashed against the tree destroying both itself and the tree.

"I am already quite far away, this distance should be more than enough. I'll find a safe place and quickly recover completely from the injuries before using the treasure to birth the gold element." Bai Ming thought as he began to carefully move around in the forest.

Buzzbuzzbuzz… The sound of bees buzzing and flying suddenly entered his attentive ears.

Bai Ming looked at his back immediately, only to see a thick cloud formed by numerous berserk needle bees, attacking towards him.

Needle bee group's house was destroyed while they were out, and because they had low intelligence, they started attacking the devil ape, but after not finding it's hive it stopped, but with help of its extremely strong smelling sense it chased after Bai Ming madly.

Berserk needle bee's needle were tough as steel, extremely sturdy. Together with their high speed flying, it was no inferior to a needle rain attack.

Even though they only possessed tier 3 individual strength but large numbers cause a qualitative change. With enough numbers they could even take down tier-5 beasts.

Bai Ming took one glance before turning indifferent, berserk needle bee's had piercing ability, so even Bai Ming's treasure body would eventually fail him against it.

At once, numerous berserk needle bees flapped their wings and furiously pounced at Bai Ming!

Bai Ming turned around, just when the closest bee was about to pierce him an extremely horrific flame covered Bai Ming's entire body.

This was Bai Ming's nine hundred years old flame essence!

The first wave of nearly hundred berserk needle bee's were turned into ashes without any form of resistance.

Swish swish swish!

Berserk needle bees were hell bent on getting their revenge along with their lack of intelligence, the remaining three thousand bee's immediately swooped towards Bai Ming.

Bai Ming sneered, the flame blazed with even more intensity. Within a minute every single bee had become a member of the dead.

Bai Ming shook his head as he continued his search.
