The demonic energy on the Golden Steel Demon Ape grew increasingly powerful, eventually triggering a phenomenon in the sky.
Above the nine heavens, the wind and clouds changed color, fierce winds blew, and thunder echoed.
The atmosphere of the entire world became oppressively heavy, as if a demon king were about to descend. Martial artists were suppressed, and unable to breathe, while commoners who lacked cultivation, lay prostrate on the ground, and unable to move a finger.
“Roar!”
The Golden Steel Demon Ape spread its wings, creating a high-pressure cyclone that shattered surrounding buildings. Countless structures and civilians were swept into the air by the hurricane.
“The destructive power from just spreading its wings is terrifying! Its current strength has probably reached the level of an advanced demon!”
At that moment, martial artists were so intimidated by this power that they shrank into corners, trembling in fear. Seeing the terror in everyone’s eyes, the Golden Steel Demon Ape became even more confident.
Proudly, it said to Jiang Yuan, “I possess a trace of weak demon blood, allowing me to temporarily harness the power of the demon race. By using the power of demon blood, my demonic energy transforms, providing me unparalleled strength and speed. My overall strength increases several times over.”
Before the Golden Steel Demon Ape could finish, Jiang Yuan interrupted, “Alright, alright. Get on with it, I’m getting impatient.”
“Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish!” The Golden Steel Demon Ape concentrated a large amount of demonic energy, launching a fist towards Jiang Yuan’s head.
Jiang Yuan stood still, showing no intention to dodge or defend, letting the fist collide with his head.
Bang!
Accompanied by a horrifying roar, the ground where Jiang Yuan stood instantly caved in, forming a crater with a diameter of thirty meters. The shockwave continued to spread, shattering the surrounding ground, as if an earth-shattering earthquake had occurred.
Although the ground beneath his feet had changed dramatically, Jiang Yuan, who was at the forefront, remained unscathed, not a single hair out of place. On the other hand, the Golden Steel Demon Ape’s fist showed signs of swelling and deformation.
Once again, everyone was stunned, wearing expressions of disbelief.
“What! How is this possible?”
“Even the surrounding ground was shattered, yet his head is unharmed!”
“Who is this man? Is he truly human?”
“I must be seeing illusions. Everything I’ve witnessed since a moment ago must be an illusion!”
Not only those present, but even the Golden Steel Demon Ape itself couldn’t believe what was happening.
“Impossible!”
The Golden Steel Demon Ape roared in frustration, then launched a rapid series of punches at Jiang Yuan, creating a storm of blows.
Jiang Yuan still didn’t dodge or counterattack, allowing the ape’s fists to continuously strike him. In just a few seconds, the Golden Steel Demon Ape had unleashed dozens of punches.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Each punch from the ape shattered the sound barrier, delivering a force equivalent to millions of pounds!
The powerful attacks continuously struck Jiang Yuan, yet they couldn’t inflict the slightest damage on him. Even pushing Jiang Yuan backward seemed impossible.
After several seconds of relentless attacks, the Golden Steel Demon Ape was forced to stop. Both its fists were now a bloody mess, and almost in a state of disrepair.
The expressions on everyone’s faces were numb, as they struggled to find a way to express their astonishment.
Even Shen Hanbing’s most powerful strike couldn’t harm the formidable demon, yet in attacking a mere human, it ended up rendering its own fists useless.
This inexplicable scene, if not witnessed with their own eyes would be beyond belief.
“Do you have a stronger attack?” Jiang Yuan looked at the Golden Steel Demon Ape with disinterest as if battling it held no interest for him.
Although Jiang Yuan was merely inquiring, without a hint of mockery, this made the ape instantly overflow with hatred for him.
“Dare you to underestimate me! I’ll make you regret it!”
The Golden Steel Demon Ape’s veins bulged, its face becoming terrifyingly ferocious. It soared into the sky, reaching a hundred meters high, then gathered a large amount of demonic energy in its mouth.
“What… what does it want to do?”
“Could it be… no… it can’t be!”
“Damn it! It really wants to use a demon energy blast… no! It should be called a demonic energy blast!”
Seeing the Golden Steel Demon Ape’s actions, the people on the ground were all filled with despair. They were well aware of the devastating power of a demon energy blast.
Even the energy blast from a mid-level demon could destroy an entire street. The energy blast from a high-level demon could level an entire city block. Moreover, the current attack by the Golden Steel Demon Ape was a demonic energy blast surpassing the usual demon energy blast!
As is known, the power of a demon energy blast depends on the density of demon energy. Demon energy from a high-level demon is more concentrated than that from a mid-level demon, making its energy blast more powerful.
“This place is no longer safe, we must quickly escape the city!”
“If we stay here any longer, even a hundred lives won’t be enough to throw away!”
In a moment, the martial artists at the scene began to climb over the city walls to escape. The helpless civilians are unable to move, and lay on the ground in despair.
In just a few breaths, the demonic energy blast in the ape’s mouth had completely taken shape. It was a two-meter-diameter energy sphere with a black and red surface.
“This is my attack, condensed with all my demonic energy! Even a pile of steel would instantly melt under this attack!”
After uttering these words, the Golden Steel Demon Ape spewed out the demonic energy blast, instantly forming a black and red energy beam that resembled a world-destroying laser, rushing towards Jiang Yuan.
Facing this earth-shattering attack, Jiang Yuan made no unnecessary movements standing still as the black and red energy beam struck him.
Boom!
After the red energy beam hit Jiang Yuan accompanied by a deafening roar, it instantly split apart, flowing madly to both sides, and bypassing Jiang Yuan and pouring towards the rear.
If the red energy beam was compared to an unstoppable torrent, then Jiang Yuan was a boulder blocking the torrent. Regardless of how fierce the torrent was, hitting Jiang Yuan would cause it to split apart and flow around him.
After splitting, the energy torrent went around Jiang Yuan and directly engulfed the city area behind him.
In the area flooded by the energy torrent, everything disappeared in an instant!
