This giant ape possesses astonishing strength, and its entire body is composed of metal, making it sturdy and indestructible. Both its defense and power are extremely terrifying, surpassing other beings of the same level.
This giant ape possessed the cultivation level of the second stage of the Void God Realm, but its strength surpassed that of any other second-stage Void God Realm cultivator Lu Ming had encountered before.
roar!
The giant ape retreated, letting out a furious roar, and charged at Lu Ming again.
"kill!"
Lu Ming took out the divine weapon sword and charged towards the giant ape.
Clang! Clang!
Lu Ming's sword clashed repeatedly with the silver giant ape, exchanging more than a dozen blows in the blink of an eye, sparks flying everywhere where they collided.
The silver giant ape was no match for Lu Ming. Even without triggering the double combat power of the Battle Word Technique, Lu Ming still suppressed the silver giant ape with the combat power bonus of the Battle Word Technique, his cultivation as a three-star Heavenly Emperor, his physical strength, and so on.
The silver giant ape retreated repeatedly!
Xie Nianqing, Xie Nianjun, and Tong Xier did not make a move. They formed a circle around each other, standing guard against any potential attacks from other powerful individuals or wild beasts.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Lu Ming and the silver giant ape exchanged dozens of blows before Lu Ming finally seized an opportunity and severed its head with a single sword strike.
call...
Lu Ming let out a long breath; this silver giant ape was truly difficult to kill.
"Luckily, this silver giant ape doesn't have much intelligence, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with!"
Lu Ming sighed.
"It is said that intelligent metallic life forms exist in the primordial universe. They are an extremely powerful race, ranking very high among the countless races in the entire primordial universe!"
Tong Xier said.
"There really are intelligent metallic life forms!"
Lu Ming was also secretly amazed.
Then,
Lu Ming broke open the silver giant ape's chest and took out a round piece of metal.
This is the core of the silver giant ape.
A metal beast core at the second level of the Void God Realm can be bought for ten divine crystals.
A metal beast core at the first level of the Void God Realm is worth five divine crystals, one at the second level is worth ten divine crystals, and one at the third level is worth twenty divine crystals...
As the level of the beast core increases, its value also doubles.
As long as you can hunt down one hundred beasts at the second level of the Void God Realm, you can recoup the rental fee for the starship; the rest is profit.
"Let's collect the beast cores together first, and then divide them equally!"
Lu Ming suggested.
"good!"
Tong Xier nodded.
Then the group continued on their way.
Not long after they left, two figures flashed and two middle-aged men appeared in the air.
"It's Tong Xi'er, the pride of the Zhengtian Army, Tong Xi'er!"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Tong Xier to dare to come here, and there are two other girls too, you're really something!"
"Let's go back and report to our superior, and ask him to send out some experts to capture these people. We'll play with them for a bit before killing them!"
"Walk!"
With a flash, the two middle-aged men disappeared from the spot.
......
Lu Ming and his group continued on their way, and after a while, they encountered a metal beast at the first level of the Void God Realm, which was easily killed by Tong Xi'er.
Lu Ming could tell that Tong Xi'er's cultivation had reached the peak of the first level of the Void God Realm, and she was not far from the second level of the Void God Realm.
Moreover, her combat strength is astonishing, far surpassing that of other experts of the same level.
Back then, when Lu Ming was a two-star Heavenly Emperor, he triggered the Battle Word Technique to double his combat power, and he could only fight Tong Xi'er to a draw. Now Lu Ming knows that the divine power controlled by Tong Xi'er is a King-grade divine power, and she is a genius.
Roar! Roar!...
As they ventured deeper into the forest, they encountered more and more metallic beasts, most of which were at the first or second level of the Void God Realm.
As long as the quantity wasn't too large, they easily dealt with it.
Soon after, they had killed fifteen Void God Realm Level 1 wild beasts and five Void God Realm Level 2 metal wild beasts.
Thump! Thump!...
Suddenly, the ground shook, and several giant wolves, their bodies as black as ink, rushed out from a canyon ahead.
These giant wolves are as if cast from black iron, reaching heights of ten meters and lengths of twenty meters, and exuding a terrifying aura.
"This is bad! There are two beings at the third level of the Void God Realm!"
Tong Xi'er's expression changed drastically.
There were four giant wolves in total, two of which were at the third level of the Void God Realm and two at the second level of the Void God Realm.
"Retreat quickly, charge out!"
Tong Xi'er drank sweetly.
If there were only one being at the third level of the Void God Realm, they could fight together, but with two at the third level of the Void God Realm and two at the second level, they would be in danger.
"No need, let's fight!"
A hint of fighting spirit appeared in Lu Ming's eyes.
He hadn't even gone all out yet, and he knew Xie Nianqing's combat strength very well; dealing with a Void God Realm Level 3 beast was a piece of cake.
Furthermore, Xie Nianjun's strength is definitely not weaker than Xie Nianqing's.
"A battle? Lu Ming, have you broken through?!"
Tong Xi'er was taken aback.
"good!"
Lu Ming nodded.
"Alright, then let's have a battle!"
Tong Xier gritted her teeth and said.
Even before Lu Ming broke through, his combat strength was no weaker than hers. Now that he has broken through, dealing with a giant wolf at the third level of the Void God Realm should not be a problem.
She did her best to entangle the giant wolf, and she might be able to fight it.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Xie Nianjun rushed out and charged towards a giant wolf at the third level of the Void God Realm.
"not good..."
Tong Xi'er's expression changed. She felt that Xie Nianjun was too impulsive. Xie Nianjun's cultivation was only at the first level of the Void God Realm. Even if she was stronger, she would be at most about the same level as her. It would be too dangerous for her to rush out like this.
However, before she could stop her, Xie Nianjun had already made her move.
A holy radiance emanated from her body. She clenched her fist in the air, and a holy light sword formed, which she then slashed down.
roar!
A giant wolf at the third level of the Void God Realm roared and pounced on Xie Nianjun, its giant claws slamming down, creating a terrifying hurricane.
However, when Xie Nianjun's sword light collided with the giant wave's claws, the result was unexpected.
bump!
The giant wolf howled and staggered backward. A deep sword mark appeared on its metal claw, almost severing the entire claw.
"That strong?"
Tong Xier was speechless.
Whoosh!
Xie Nianjun gained the upper hand in one move, her figure gliding as she once again attacked the giant wolf. Her sword flashed, and in an instant, she unleashed more than a dozen sword strikes, each one faster and stronger than the last, forcing the giant wolf to retreat repeatedly. Deep sword marks appeared on its metallic body.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The other three giant wolves roared and lunged at Xie Nianjun.
Xie Nianqing moved swiftly, attacking another giant wolf at the third level of the Void God Realm. With a single palm strike, she repelled the giant wolf.
"Make your move!"
Lu Ming let out a soft shout, his figure flashed, and he charged out, heading towards the two giant wolves at the second level of the Void God Realm.
Tong Xi'er then seemed to wake from a dream and charged out as well.
Xie Nianjun and Xie Nianqing's combat power completely suppressed the giant wolves at the third level of the Void God Realm. They killed the two giant wolves in just a few moves.
