No More Fighting!

A thunderous roar rang out as the Sky-Propping Staff swung forth like a roaring dragon.

In an instant, countless staff shadows surged out like a tidal wave, densely filling the surrounding space as if enveloping the entire world.

"Heh, this is somewhat interesting!"

Lin Tian watched, the corners of his mouth lifting into a faint, intrigued smile.

With a flash of his mind, a Chaos Light suddenly blazed, and the Chaos Sword materialized in his hand.

Lin Tian closed his eyes briefly, took a deep breath, then channeled his full magical power into the Chaos Sword.

As the power poured in, the blade began to tremble violently, emitting a humming buzz.

Immediately after, countless sharp sword shadows shot forth from the Chaos Sword, like lightning bolts tearing across the sky.

"Go!"

Lin Tian shouted, swinging his arm, and the sky full of Chaos Sword shadows raced toward the Sky-Propping Staff shadows like arrows from a bowstring.

Just as they were about to collide, time seemed to freeze.

The next moment, a deafening boom echoed as the Chaos Sword shadows and Sky-Propping Staff shadows slammed fiercely together.

Instantly, a world-destroying surge of energy erupted from the point of impact, spreading wildly in all directions.

Wherever this energy passed, the void was torn into massive fissures, and the dense Chaos Qi around grew restless, churning like boiling water.

"Again!"

The Chaos Demon Ape's law power surged, wielding his long staff for close combat.

"Then I'll play along a little longer."

Lin Tian teleported, charging at the Chaos Demon Ape.

The ape's massive body bristled with steel-like fur, his eyes blazing with savage light.

Lin Tian stood tall and composed, his face cold, the Chaos Sword radiating endless Chaos Qi.

The two energies clashed with a thunderous roar, Chaos Qi spilling out, the surrounding space trembling.

Lin Tian flickered, dodging the ape's attack, while the Chaos Sword arced toward the ape's abdomen.

The ape turned nimbly, blocking the sword with the Sky-Propping Staff.

Then it struck again, the staff raining down like hail, while Lin Tian dodged and countered.

The battle reached a fever pitch, both unleashing their strongest moves.

Each swing of the Chaos Demon Ape's Sky-Propping Staff carried immense power, while Lin Tian's Chaos Sword brimmed with endless Chaos force.

The fight was fierce, stirring the surrounding Chaos Qi into a frenzy.

Finally, Lin Tian found the ape's weakness and stabbed it in the chest with his sword.

The ape let out a cry of pain and collapsed. Lin Tian sheathed the Chaos Sword.

Looking at the fallen ape, Lin Tian smiled slightly. "Still want more?"

The Chaos Demon Ape glanced at his wounds, twitched the corner of his mouth, and shook his head. "No more, no need for more!"

The Chaos Demon Ape shot Lin Tian a sidelong glance, inwardly astonished.

He could hardly believe that this unknown Demon God before him was so formidable, even several times more fierce than the top ten powerful Demon Gods.

Just look at his own injuries—beaten so miserably, how could he have the face to challenge again?

After all, the Chaos Demon Ape had challenged those top ten Demon Gods before.

At his peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realm, even facing those elite Demon Gods, though he couldn't gain any advantage, he at least didn't lose so disgracefully.

But today, facing Lin Tian, a mysterious opponent from nowhere, the Chaos Demon Ape suffered an unprecedented defeat.

Though unwilling, he was one who accepted loss and took responsibility.

Bearing the pain of his wounds, he cupped his fists at Lin Tian and said, "May I ask, what kind of Demon God are you, sir? Today's battle, I admit defeat wholeheartedly.

When I break through in cultivation another day, I will surely come to seek your guidance again!"

Hearing this, Lin Tian gently shook his head, a smile spreading across his face as he replied slowly, "I am no Chaos Demon God, just an ordinary Chaos living being.

To be honest, you are the first Chaos Demon God I, Lin Tian, have ever fought!"

"The first Chaos Demon God you've fought? I sure am unlucky... cough, lucky?"

The Chaos Demon Ape was mortified—he had run into the very first opponent this man had ever faced.

Suddenly, recalling Lin Tian's name, he exclaimed, "Huh? You said your name is Lin Tian?"

Lin Tian nodded, confirming he remembered.

The Chaos Demon Ape grew excited. "Senior, I truly failed to recognize your true identity! No wonder your voice sounded so familiar.

It was all my fault for offending you, Senior. Here, I apologize to you, Big Brother!"

Thinking back to the familiar voice he'd heard earlier, the Chaos Demon Ape had wondered why it seemed so familiar.

Now it all clicked.

Yet precisely because of this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of shame and embarrassment—he had momentarily failed to recognize this benefactor who had preached the Dao to him.

Lin Tian watched the Chaos Demon Ape's surprised and slightly awkward expression and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He shook his head gently and said warmly, "Haha, no matter, no matter, little monkey. It seems you did take in some of what I said when I preached the Dao to you before, which is why my voice left a faint impression on you."

As he spoke, a faint smile still lingered on his face, as if he didn't mind the matter at all.

The Chaos Demon Ape was deeply moved. Everything he had achieved today was thanks to Lin Tian; otherwise, his strength would never have advanced so much.

Seeing the injuries on the Chaos Demon Ape's body, Lin Tian waved his hand, and a gentle energy enveloped the ape.

In moments, his wounds had fully healed.

"Thank you, Senior!"

The Chaos Demon Ape was overjoyed. Healed in the blink of an eye—Senior's strength was truly unfathomable!

"Don't keep calling me 'Senior'—it makes me feel old. Just call me 'Big Brother.'"

Lin Tian waved his hand. He was still young, and being called "Senior" all the time made him feel aged.

"Yes, Sen—oh, Big Brother!"

Afterward, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Lin Tian originally intended to take his leave and continue his journey through the Chaos.

But to his surprise, the Chaos Demon Ape insisted on following him.

And so, man and ape traveled together, beginning their journey through the Chaos.

Along the way, the Chaos Demon Ape seemed to open a floodgate of words, chattering endlessly about all the experiences he had had since emerging into the world.

He animatedly described one fierce battle after another—how he had fought life-and-death struggles against powerful demon gods.

Each time was fraught with danger, yet he always managed to overcome his opponents through sheer tenacity and extraordinary strength.

Lin Tian, for the most part, just listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a word or two to show he was paying attention or to offer a simple comment.

Still, he couldn't help but mutter inwardly: "This Chaos Demon Ape is such a chatterbox—he never stops talking! He's even more long-winded than Tang Sanzang!"

But seeing the Chaos Demon Ape's excitement, Lin Tian didn't have the heart to interrupt him, so he let him ramble on.

Suddenly, the entire Chaos trembled violently. The Chaos Qi surged, and rays of multicolored light rose into the sky.

"A treasure is emerging!!!"
