Song Wen stood behind the group, watching as they surrounded and attacked the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape.
When he saw the surging Blood Sea erupting from Chi Pei, an odd sensation stirred within him.
The Blood Sea summoned by Chi Pei was none other than the manifestation of the Blood Sea Seal.
Chi Pei and he had actually refined the same Natal Magic Treasure.
However, there were significant differences between their Natal Magic Treasures.
Song Wen's Blood Sea Seal contained far more blood essence than Chi Pei's, akin to the difference between a lake and a pond.
Yet Chi Pei's Blood Sea Seal surpassed Song Wen's in quality. Even after Song Wen had upgraded his Blood Sea Seal to the Spirit Treasure level, it still paled in comparison to Chi Pei's.
Considering both factors, it was difficult to immediately determine which Blood Sea Seal was ultimately stronger.
As time passed, the battle between the five warriors and the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape gradually shifted in their favor.
Under the relentless assault, the giant ape began to falter, its movements growing sluggish.
A sudden glint of resolve flashed in its furious eyes.
Two crimson beams of light erupted from its eyes once more.
The beams struck Tang Gui's Corpse Coffin, Sang Bu's Soul Breaking Awl, and the surging Blood Sea.
The Corpse Coffin shuddered violently when struck, its formidable aura diminished. Even when the giant ape allowed it to crash against its body, the coffin only managed to pierce its flesh.
The Soul Breaking Awl fared even worse. Swept by the crimson beam, it instantly dimmed, as if its spiritual essence had been completely extinguished. Reduced to a mere mortal object, it plummeted helplessly to the ground.
As for the Blood Sea Seal's manifestation—the surging Blood Sea—the crimson beam instantly drained its vitality. The crimson waters turned a deep gray, ceasing their ceaseless churning and collapsing into droplets of viscous gray liquid that fell like rain.
However, the Blood Sea stretched across the sky, and only a small portion was struck by the crimson beam.
Chi Pei swiftly recalled the Blood Sea, merging it back into his body to prevent further damage to the Blood Sea Seal.
Tang Gui and Sang Bu wore pained expressions. The connection between their Natal Magic Treasures and themselves had weakened drastically.
Reforging these treasures to regain their former responsiveness would require vast quantities of spiritual materials and countless years of cultivation.
"Don't be distracted! Quickly intercept the giant ape! I will compensate you for your losses after we slay the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape," Chi Pei shouted.
By this time, the giant ape had ceased unleashing the law-breaking divine light and was fleeing toward the lake.
Blood streamed from its eyes, and its aura had weakened significantly. Clearly, using the law-breaking divine light twice in succession had not only strained its eyes but also drained a substantial amount of its demon power.
As Chi Pei spoke, a figure materialized beside him.
The figure was gaunt and skeletal, wreathed in Corpse Qi, with fangs bared in a ferocious grin. It was unmistakably a peak fifth-tier spirit corpse.
Enveloping itself in boundless Corpse Qi, the spirit corpse lunged ferociously at the giant ape.
Tang Gui and Sang Bu reacted swiftly, each switching to a different mystic treasure and attacking the ape.
Qi Luo and Shi Man also renewed their assault.
In an instant, the giant ape found itself besieged by five opponents once more.
The two consecutive uses of the law-breaking divine light had severely depleted the ape's reserves. It could no longer effortlessly repel the group's treasures as it had before.
The mystic treasures and Corpse Puppets left a trail of wounds across its body.
Gradually, the ape's injuries multiplied, and blood gushed forth like a spring, nearly dyeing its entire body crimson. It stood in a tragic, heroic pose, "fighting valiantly in a bloodbath."
Suddenly, a blood-red spear, over thirty meters long, shot forth with lightning speed, aiming directly for the giant ape's vital point at the back of its heart.
This spear was formed from Chi Pei's Blood Sea Seal, moving as swiftly as lightning and with the destructive force of a wildfire.
Amidst the five-person assault, the giant ape's back had already been torn open by the spirit corpse, leaving a horrifying wound.
If this spear pierced that wound, it would undoubtedly pierce the giant ape's chest.
Faced with this fatal strike, the giant ape had no time to react.
The spirit corpse and the four cultivators—Qi Luo and the others—simultaneously attacked its abdomen, throat, and chest with their mystic treasures.
A sinister smile crept across Chi Pei's lips.
In his eyes, the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape was doomed.
Chirp!
A piercing cry suddenly echoed from the heavens.
The miasma fog above churned violently, like boiling water.
Then, a massive black shadow tore through the fog, plummeting toward the giant ape.
It was a colossal bird with a wingspan exceeding six hundred meters.
Its feathers were a deep, metallic black, shimmering with a metallic sheen.
Its head was enormous, its beak as sharp as a sword.
Its talons curved like hooks, radiating a chilling, ghostly light.
With a mighty flap of its wings, the colossal bird unleashed a tempestuous gale.
The gale swept across the land, whipping up sand and stones, and churning the miasma into a surging torrent. The world dissolved into chaos, and even the ground was scoured bare.
"Azure Profound Dove!"
Chi Pei's face instantly darkened.
Like the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape, the Azure Profound Dove possessed the bloodline of a Divine Beast. A Wind Attribute demon beast, it excelled at manipulating wind and stealth.
The Azure Profound Dove before them had reached the peak of the fifth-tier in strength.
The Blood-Eyed Divine Ape had already proven a formidable opponent; the addition of the Azure Profound Dove made the situation even more precarious.
Chi Pei and his companions hurriedly activated their defensive magical artifacts to withstand the raging winds.
The mystic treasures they had launched at the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape were disrupted by the gale, their power drastically diminished, allowing the giant ape to easily neutralize them.
The giant ape itself was also battered by the tempest.
The gale tore at its wounds, flinging crimson droplets of blood into the air, where they were shredded into a Blood Mist that dispersed into the dark green miasma.
The Azure Profound Dove swooped down, its iron claws aimed directly at the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape's eyes.
Between the two, there seemed to exist a deep-seated blood feud.
When the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape saw the Azure Profound Dove appear, a flash of mingled fury and resentment flickered in its eyes. Even though the dove had helped it escape certain death, the hatred in its gaze remained undiminished.
As the Azure Profound Dove's razor-sharp talons drew closer, the giant ape suddenly spoke, its voice halting and strained.
"Stop... killing humans... I'll let you do as you please."
The giant ape's words were stuttered and awkward, yet the Azure Profound Dove surprisingly halted, hovering about thirty meters above the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape's head.
"Do you swear?" the dove's voice rang clear and crisp.
"The Blood-Eyed Divine Ape Clan never stoops to lies," the giant ape declared.
"Very well, I believe you."
With that, the Azure Profound Dove turned its gaze toward Chi Pei and the others.
"Chirp—"
A piercing cry erupted from the dove's beak, and a pale azure gale surged forth from its mouth.
The gale was frigid and sharp, like a million invisible steel blades coalescing into a roaring vortex that swept toward the group.
The cultivators' faces paled in alarm.
