The 990,000-Year Battle Saint Ape Sets Out to Lure Away the Emperor Auspicious Beast?

Phoenix God Continent, atop the Divine Mountain.

Xuan Zi's words appeared before everyone present, clear as day.

The entire Divine Mountain fell deathly silent.

Then—

"Those who dare insult the Phoenix God must be struck down, however far away they are!"

"Your Majesty, please order the army to destroy Shrek Academy and flatten the Douluo Continent!"

"The Phoenix God's majesty will not be defiled by the ants of the Douluo Continent!"

"Your Majesty, send forth your heavenly soldiers and slaughter these madmen!"

Below the altar stood the ministers of the Spirit Hall Empire, the leaders of its great sects, and the mighty figures of its Soul Master clans.

Every one of them had bloodshot eyes and was seething with outrage!

Their cries rose wave upon wave until the whole Divine Mountain roared!

The Great Enshrined, Golden Crocodile Douluo, stepped forward and dropped to one knee, his hair and beard bristling.

"Your Majesty, this old servant asks to fight!"

"I will lead the elite Soul Masters of Spirit Hall to the Douluo Continent and avenge our forebears for the wrong done ten thousand years ago!"

"Ten thousand years ago, Tang San destroyed Spirit Hall's legacy and hunted our people to the last!"

"Now Shrek Academy is our mortal enemy. We cannot live beneath the same sky! We must tear it out by the roots!"

Feng Ji ge stood atop the altar, her phoenix eyes sweeping coldly over Xuan Zi's messages on the Sky Screen.

At last, she nodded slowly.

"Granted!"

"Pass down my decree. The large Flying Soul Tools developed by the Royal Academy of Sciences shall carry the heavenly soldiers of the Spirit Hall Empire..."

"Flatten Shrek!"

"Flatten the Douluo Continent!"

"Your Majesty is wise!!!"

Around the Divine Mountain, cheers surged like mountains and seas, shaking the clouds.

Just then—

A soldier in golden armor hurried up the Divine Mountain, dropped to one knee, and reported loudly.

"Your Majesty!"

"A monkey has appeared outside the gates of Spirit City!"

"It... it says it wants to see you!"

His words set off an uproar.

A monkey?

A mere monkey dared come uninvited to Spirit City and demand an audience with Her Majesty the Empress?

Where had this crazed monkey come from? Did it have a death wish?

But Feng Ji ge paused when she heard the report.

Then a radiant smile curved her lips.

"Oh, has that honored guest arrived?"

"Invite her in at once!"

A moment later—

A monkey with loose golden fur and a lazy air appeared before Feng Ji ge.

No strange phenomena surrounded her, nor did she radiate any earth-shaking pressure.

She wore only a plain blue Daoist robe, with her paws clasped behind her back.

Swaying along like an old scholar, she made her way to the summit of the Divine Mountain.

She looked around as she walked.

She even snatched a piece of fruit from an offering tray, rubbed it against her robe, and crunched into it.

Yet faced with this ill-mannered monkey—

Not one of the Titled Douluo, Super Douluo, or even Demigod- and Quasi-God-level experts present—

Dared utter a single word of objection!

Nor did anyone dare show the slightest disrespect!

For they all recognized who this seemingly carefree monkey was.

Or rather, she was no ordinary monkey at all!

She was the sovereign of the Soul Beasts of the Phoenix God Continent, revered by ten thousand beasts, with 990,000 years of cultivation!

The Battle Saint Ape!

Legend held that when the Phoenix God Continent first took shape, the Phoenix God's power of creation formed a divine stone in the far east.

For ten thousand years it endured the wind, and for ten thousand more the rain, absorbing boundless energy from heaven and earth and the essence of sun and moon.

At last, the Battle Saint Ape burst from the stone.

The moment she emerged, she shook the entire continent!

She had cultivated ever since, attaining 990,000 years of power.

One step remained before she reached the legendary million-year realm!

Legend said that when that day came, the Phoenix God would personally send down a divine light to guide her into the Divine Realm, where she would become an immortal God!

So in terms of seniority, even the Empress's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather—

Would have to respectfully call her Senior!

On the Phoenix God Continent, she was a living fossil, a walking legend!

The Battle Saint Ape ambled up to the altar and tossed aside her fruit core.

She grinned at Feng Ji ge, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Little girl, long time no see. Looking well, aren't you?"

Little girl?

Across the entire Phoenix God Continent, she alone dared address Empress Feng Ji ge that way.

Feng Ji ge was not the least bit angry. Instead, she inclined her head slightly and smiled.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Saint Ape."

"What brings you out of seclusion this time?"

"Heh-heh..."

The Battle Saint Ape scratched her ears and cheeks, then pointed at the sky-screen.

"I'd barely come out of seclusion when I saw this thing had popped up in the sky. Looked mighty lively."

"Just now, I saw a Three-Eyed Golden Lion send a message from that Douluo Continent you lot keep talking about!"

"She's an Emperor Auspicious Beast!"

A sharp gleam flashed in the Battle Saint Ape's golden eyes.

"An Emperor Auspicious Beast is favored by the fortune of heaven and earth, a blessing to all beasts!"

"If she came to our Phoenix God Continent and simply stood there..."

"Every Soul Beast on the continent would cultivate thirty percent faster, just like that!"

The Battle Saint Ape rummaged around, found a jug of fine wine, and took two long gulps.

"I might not need the Emperor Auspicious Beast's fortune myself, but the little ones still have growing to do."

"So I figured I'd take a trip to that Star Dou Great Forest and lure the Auspicious Beast away... Ahem, invite her over!"

At those words, everyone understood her reason.

Besides, with the Battle Saint Ape's cultivation, crossing between the two continents would be as easy as turning over her paw. She had no need for any Soul Tool.

A glint appeared in Feng Ji ge's phoenix eyes.

She smiled and said,

"If Lord Saint Ape wishes to visit the Star Dou Great Forest, I naturally have no objection."

"However, an old wretch named Xuan Zi publicly blasphemed against our ancestor the Phoenix God's divine majesty on the Sky Screen just now. His arrogance knows no bounds!"

"I am preparing to send an army to flatten Shrek Academy, where he resides."

"The Star Dou Great Forest lies along your route, Lord Saint Ape."

Feng Ji ge smiled.

"I have one favor to ask."

"Sorry for the trouble, but when you pass Shrek Academy, could you give that Xuan Zi a few blows of your staff for me?"

"Beat him until he never again dares question the Phoenix God's divine majesty for as long as he lives!"

"When the imperial army arrives, it will flatten all of Shrek Academy!"

At that, the Battle Saint Ape's golden eyes darted about.

Then she grinned, flexing her paws until her knuckles cracked.

"What's so hard about that?"

"Teaching scoundrels a lesson is what I do best!"

"Once I find that scoundrel Xuan Zi, I'll make sure to loosen up his bones!"

"From then on, every time he hears Lord Phoenix God's name, he'll drop to his knees and kowtow!"

The next instant, the Battle Saint Ape turned into a single golden hair and vanished.

Meanwhile—

High in the sky—

At the edge of the Phoenix God Continent, an ordinary-looking white cloud drifted down.

It headed straight for the Douluo Continent.
