Chapter 225: The Siege

The Shadow Death Warriors all had purple-level Physique Strength. Each of them, at full power, could collapse a wall. Their tendons and muscles were so tough that probably not even an ox could pull them apart. If measured by physical ability alone, each of them would absolutely be an Olympic champion or a special forces king.

But at this moment, their bodies were simultaneously struck by the swift blows of the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape. The terrifying force slammed into them, actually tearing their bodies into pieces. With the gruesome tearing of their flesh, their bodies, tendons, and bones made a series of sounds like ripping sheet metal.

Even with such incredible toughness in their tendons and muscles, they were still shattered by the brute force of the Yama Holy Son. It was horrifying.

Just as the Yama Holy Son, using the supreme Martial Arts recorded in the Hell Soul Cleansing Scripture, transformed from the divine ape into a placenta—shifting from life to death—to block the Shadow Death Warriors’ blade net, then emerged again from the golden placenta, shifting from death back to life, and finally, carrying supremely fierce strength and Power of Mind and Spirit, killed all the Shadow Death Warriors on the scene.

Both Zuo Zhicheng and He Zizai’s pupils kept contracting. At this moment, the wildly destructive power of the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape was deeply imprinted in their minds.

No one had expected that when a Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape could practice Martial Arts, it could become so ferocious.

Yet, facing this extremely fierce Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape, neither Zuo Zhicheng nor He Zizai considered retreating. As Human Aspect Martial Artists, their minds and spirits were resolute to the extreme.

Besides, on their side, there was also a combatant whose physical power was no less than the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape’s.

A roaring sound tore through the air!

Seeing that the Shadow Death Warriors were all wiped out, Zuo Zhicheng sent a heat signal. The Underworld King Snake immediately shot forward like a rocket. With no allies left near the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape, he could now fight without holding back.

The moment this immensely large, thousand-year-old guardian divine beast of Amariken made its move, it displayed strength and ferocity comparable to the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape.

Although its Physique Strength was inferior, its size was dozens of times greater. Its charge was like a reversing river and upturned mountains. The gale force even pressed nearby trees to the ground.

Confronted with the Underworld King Snake’s all-out charge, the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape naturally did not want to take it head-on. It lightly tapped its toes, its extremely fierce demeanor suddenly turning soft and gentle, like a swallow skimming over water, swiftly dodging to one side.

But just as it tried to evade the Underworld King Snake’s attack, two immense hostile pressures, heavy as mountains and rivers, appeared from its left and right, bearing down on the Yama Holy Son.

‘Huh?’

Without looking, the Yama Holy Son knew those projecting hostility were surely Zuo Zhicheng and He Zizai.

On the right, He Zizai stretched both hands forward as if embracing a giant bell. As his arms extended, one pair, two pairs, three pairs! Three additional pairs—six arms in total—emerged from his shoulders and back, giving He Zizai a total of eight arms now.

This was one of the ultimate secrets of the Heartscape he created himself, the Zizai Hall: Eight-Armed Demon. Only upon seeing this move would one understand that He Zizai’s expertise lay not in leg techniques, but in rarely used fist and palm skills.

Earlier, when He Zizai and Zuo Zhicheng simultaneously struck the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape from a distance and found their Mind Attacks ineffective, they recalled a description of the Dharma Aspect from numerous ancient texts.

That is, Martial Artists who reach the Dharma Aspect possess extremely strong immunity to Mind Attacks. If the attack isn’t powerful enough, the target can directly nullify it with their Power of Mind and Spirit and ignore it.

Clearly, though this External Incarnation of the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape was only at the Human Aspect level, due to the Yama Holy Son’s refinement, it had gained some Dharma Aspect abilities, enabling it to resist Mind Attacks.

Thus, this time, neither He Zizai nor Zuo Zhicheng held back, giving their all.

As his eight fists opened simultaneously and clenched toward the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape from afar, countless air explosion sounds erupted beside the ape’s ears. It was as if hundreds of air bombs detonated inside the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape’s head, causing waves of dizziness.

It was a Mind Attack that mimicked atmospheric vibrations and explosions.

Meanwhile, on the left, Zuo Zhicheng showed no restraint either—no, he exerted himself even more fully than He Zizai.

He now held the Green Frost Sword in hand, but he did not stab or slash. Instead, his muscles bulged, and the skin on his hands turned red like a burn, as vast amounts of blood flowed into them. Then, his hands flickered, and the Green Frost Sword vanished completely.

As if teleporting, the moment the Green Frost Sword disappeared, it was already embedded in the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape’s back. Only after it pierced through did the sound of wind and thunder finally erupt in the air, and the mud and snow beneath Zuo Zhicheng’s feet sank dozens of centimeters.

Zuo Zhicheng’s full-power throw had made the Green Frost Sword travel faster than sound.

Yet such a powerful strike, after penetrating half a meter into the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape’s body, was clamped tight by its muscles, entangled by its fur, and could advance no further.

But a bone-piercing cold had already entered the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape’s body through the wound. Seizing the chance from piercing its outer defense, Zuo Zhicheng also unleashed a move of Extreme Freezing Ice into it.

Visible around the Great Strength Diamond Divine Ape’s wound, large amounts of muscle stiffened under the cold invasion, and even its blood flow began to slow and stop.

Meanwhile, its head was assaulted by He Zizai’s attack, causing dizziness.

During this brief interceptive moment, the Underworld King Snake’s massive body arrived. The air crackled with continuous explosive noises, as if the entire area had turned into a pot of hot oil about to blow.

With a thunderous boom!

The Yama Holy Son only had time to press one hand against the Underworld King Snake’s head before he was sent flying along with the snake. Under the crushing force, countless grass, stones, and trees were smashed aside. Trees fell one after another; a large patch of forest soil churned up, and numerous century-old trees, thick enough for several people to embrace, were uprooted into the sky.

Dust and swirling snow soared, blotting out half the sky, and causing Zuo Zhicheng and He Zizai to lose sight of the Yama Holy Son.
