Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape

"Boom!"

With just a single step, the entire earth shook and cracked open.

The surrounding trees snapped and collapsed with a loud crash.

The massive palm was truly terrifying.

Kolan felt no fear, only excitement.

Wielding his heavy sword, he engaged the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape in battle.

He discovered that the strength of this Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape was actually greater than his own, its body was incredibly tough, and because it was a lightning-attribute Magic Beast, it excelled in speed and possessed extreme agility.

"Human, your name is Kolan, right? Why is your body so strong!" the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape roared in a low voice.

"Heru, you talk too much. Let's talk after you beat me!" Kolan shouted.

"If you lose to me, you have only one path—death!" the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape roared in fury.

A bolt of lightning erupted from its mouth, striking toward Kolan.

The speed of the lightning was simply too fast; Kolan had no time to dodge and could only take the strike head-on.

As the lightning entered his body, a tingling numbness spread through him.

Kolan was secretly shocked; it was only because his body was strong enough that he could withstand this bolt of lightning. If it were any other Saint-level expert, they would likely face certain death when confronted with such an attack.

After all, other Saint-level experts could not withstand the destructive power of this lightning with their bodies; they would be torn apart by it.

What was even more exaggerated was that this lightning actually contained traces of mental attacks.

No wonder the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape was so powerful and possessed such a fearsome reputation.

"Die!" Kolan brandished his sword and clashed with the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape.

Fighting the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape was completely different from Kolan's previous battle against the Saint-level Undead Lifeform.

The Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape was far more powerful, with thick skin and flesh, and an astonishing defensive capability, whereas the Saint-level Bone Dragon had only its skeleton to rely on.

Pressure!

Yes, Kolan felt the pressure!

The strength of this Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape was in no way inferior to the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor that had stirred up the beast tide in the North Sea previously!

But Kolan felt no fear, did not retreat, and felt only excitement!

Being at a disadvantage was not terrifying; retreating and feeling fear was what was truly terrifying.

The Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape roared repeatedly in anger. It was clearly holding the upper hand, yet this human named 'Kolan' had a tough body, astonishing regenerative powers, and terrifying stamina, fighting it for an entire day and night without showing any signs of fatigue.

Even when it landed a hit, the human's wounds would heal quickly.

Was he really a human? Or was he a Magic Beast that had taken human form early!?

This battle lasted for three days and three nights until the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape collapsed to the ground, roaring in unwilling frustration: "Kolan, your strength is inferior to mine; you won by relying on strange methods. I, Heru, am not satisfied!"

After the three-day-and-three-night battle, the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape had exhausted its strength and lost to Kolan.

Looking at Kolan on the other side, although his clothes were tattered and his eyes showed some fatigue, it was clear he could still continue fighting.

This was where Kolan's advantage lay; he could continuously draw life force from vegetation and trees to recover himself, and the restorative power of his Life Magic was nothing short of terrifying.

It could also be seen that the current Kolan was much stronger than when he had fought the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor.

"Heru, since you aren't convinced, I'll come back to spar with you again in a few days!" Kolan did not kill the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape, but said this instead.

This was a rare and worthy opponent; he had also given his all in this battle, relying on his own advantages to wear down the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape.

It was a victory that felt somewhat dishonorable!

However, he couldn't bring himself to kill the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape.

Kolan flew off into the sky and departed.

The Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape roared in a low voice: "Next time, I, Heru, will definitely tear your body apart and use your corpse as my food!"

Anger flickered in the eyes of the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape; it had actually lost to a human whose strength was inferior to its own, which was the greatest humiliation imaginable.

The furious Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape killed a Level 7 Leopard and swallowed it whole.

After a hearty meal, it began to recover.

It had also suffered significant injuries during the three-day-and-three-night battle.

However, the regenerative power of Saint-level Magic Beasts was astonishing; as long as the wounds were not fatal, it would only take a few days to fully recover.

Twenty miles away, at a lake, Kolan flew through the air and descended toward the water.

There was a Level 9 Great Water Python here, which fled the moment it saw Kolan flying through the air.

The intelligence of a Level 9 Magic Beast was no less than that of a human; it knew that a human capable of flight must be a Saint-level expert. If it didn't flee immediately, would it just wait to be killed by this human Saint-level expert?

Kolan glanced at the Great Water Python and smiled faintly, making no move to kill it.

Saint-level experts had their own pride; unless these Magic Beasts attacked him or provoked him, he would not slaughter them at will.

Of course, during a beast tide, that was a different matter entirely.

When it came to grilling, steaming, braising, or simply enjoying a good meal, things were different.

Kolan tore off his tattered clothes and used a piece of the fabric to wipe his body clean.

During the three days and three nights of intense battle, his body had been slashed in many places by the sharp claws of the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape, yet not a single scar remained on his skin now.

He took a proper bath and went for a swim.

Afterward, Kolan floated on the surface of the lake, completely relaxing.

Just drifting like that.

Kolan kept his eyes slightly closed, the events of the past three days and nights of battle flashing through his mind.

Combat was not just about fighting; it also required reflection and summary.

"Death, huh!" Kolan murmured to himself.

There were a few moments where he had even felt the breath of death, as if in that instant, he would be torn to shreds by the Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape.

Summoning two Saint-level Bone Dragons out of thin air, Kolan entered a state of cultivation.

The Four Rules, unlike the Seven Elemental Laws, had no clear boundaries that could be divided into specific profound mysteries.

To cultivate the Four Rules, one had to rely entirely on oneself to comprehend the laws of the world.

If you grasp it, you grasp it; if you don't, you don't!

Far fewer people cultivated the Four Rules compared to the Seven Elemental Laws.

This could be seen from the distribution of Saint-level experts across the continent.

The number of Saint-level experts cultivating the Life Rules could be counted on one hand; aside from Kolan, the other three were all direct disciples of the High Priest.

As for Saint-level experts cultivating the Death Rules, as far as Kolan knew, he was the only one!

Yes, he was the only Saint-level Necromancer in the entire Yulan Continent!

And now, he had finally touched upon the Death Rules and gained his own insights into them.

It had to be said that battle was indeed the fastest path to cultivation.

Between life and death lay great terror, and great opportunity!

Kolan's powerful soul strength also aided in his comprehension of the Death Rules.

As Kolan delved into the Death Rules, the aura of death in the area intensified significantly, causing many magical beasts to steer clear from a great distance.

Some high-level flying magical beasts, sensing the aura of the Saint-level Bone Dragons from afar, fled for their lives.

For a Saint-level expert, the Magical Beast Mountain Range was still quite safe.

As long as one wasn't reckless, ensuring safety was simple: just avoid the auras of Saint-level magical beasts. As for other high-level magical beasts, to a Saint-level expert, even the most powerful level-nine magical beast could be killed with ease.

This was the gap in strength brought about by the difference in rank.
