Battling the Divine Monkey King of Flower-Fruit Mountain and Taking Him as a Battle Servant
[Six Paths Reincarnation Divine Ability]
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
All it took was a forward push!
The Precious Techniques he had cultivated earlier all fused together.
Gathered through the Six Paths Reincarnation Divine Ability, they were unleashed simultaneously!
For a moment, runes, golden light, and phantoms of ferocious beasts appeared in midair together.
Yet the seemingly unstoppable Divine Monkey King was utterly outmatched.
Not only was his golden spear repelled,
but his enormous body was also driven back several hundred meters.
He only stopped after crashing into a small hill!
"You... what exactly is this?"
In truth, Shi Xiu had not revealed all his trump cards.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Treasure Technique he had just used did not include the Double Pupils, the Broken Sword, or the Grass Character Sword Art.
Because once he brought those out,
even if he could not kill this monkey outright, he would probably take half his life!
When the old Flood Dragon nearby, Bifang, and the other ferocious beasts saw this,
they immediately scattered in every direction in terror.
"Is that the boy from before? How did he open ten grotto-heavens so quickly?"
"He's practically a god! A young Supreme!"
"Look, even the Little One behind him has opened nine grotto-heavens. What family are they descended from?"
"Can the Human Race really be this powerful?"
"Wait, the Fire Emperor's daughter just said that boy was her husband-to-be. We'd better not be mantises trying to stop a chariot!"
Fear was something difficult to explain.
But it spread. It was contagious.
After seeing the move he had revealed,
everyone on all sides was instantly cowed.
No person, nor any ferocious beast, dared attack again.
They all silently retreated to the side.
They waited for the final outcome of the battle.
They did not dare flee either, because none of them would fare well if that last strike landed on their head.
Even the old green Flood Dragon was secretly speechless.
Apart from this great monkey, who else in the entire Hundred Broken Mountains could withstand that blow?
"Cough, cough... are you... are you really human?"
Struggling to climb out of the half-collapsed hill,
the Divine Monkey King's eyes filled with astonishment.
At the same time, an inexplicable fear arose in his heart.
Far too strong.
And he could sense that the human before him had not used his full strength!
"Heh, what do you think?"
After saying that, Shi Xiu took out the Broken Sword once more.
At the same time, the double-pupiled eye on the Broken Sword's hilt suddenly opened.
Good heavens!
The previously clear sky suddenly filled with dark clouds.
Almost in the blink of an eye,
one enormous eye after another appeared in the sky.
Every gaze brimmed with endless divine radiance.
It was like rosy clouds exploding, their energy blazing for ten thousand fathoms!
This was not power that someone in the Grotto-Heaven Realm could unleash.
Even an Array Formation Realm expert would probably be unable to withstand this blow.
Was the Divine Monkey King about to lose his life?
Every spectator present had the same thought.
Even Baldy, who considered himself a divine beast, could not help praising him from the sidelines.
"Well done, boy! This move already carries the might of the Elder Double-Pupiled One. It's even stronger than Shi Yi's!"
Ironically enough,
Shi Yi, escorted by experts from the Rain Clan and Demon Spirit Lake,
had also reached the outskirts of Flower-Fruit Mountain.
This time, not only had he gained nothing, but he had suffered devastating losses.
What he found most unbearable was
seeing phantoms of double pupils filling the sky at the edge of Flower-Fruit Mountain.
The level Shi Xiu was displaying now was actually one the elder Shi had yet to reach?
Even when his right eye had not been blinded, Shi Yi had been unable to unleash such power.
"Are those the double pupils you lost?"
"Yes, but not entirely. Even if I were uninjured, I would need at least five years of cultivation to possess that kind of power!"
Shi Yi despaired.
He truly sank into profound despair.
He had never imagined that the double pupils stolen from him could unleash such power in someone else's hands.
It was just as Shi Hao had mockingly said back then.
"So your eyes are your true body, Shi Yi. The rest of you is nothing but a box for holding a magic treasure!"
How ridiculous!
Yet it was actually true!
If he had not known whose hands his double pupils had fallen into,
he would have wanted nothing more than to rush over and become his disciple!
Helpless, he could only watch the other boy's display.
The great monkey likewise felt powerless from head to toe.
As the undisputed king of the Hundred Broken Mountains,
the Divine Monkey King's heart was filled with haughty pride!
But today, that pride had been utterly subdued by the human before him.
It made him feel an urge to prostrate himself in worship!
"Heh, what do you think? Consider becoming my Battle Servant. That way, you can leave this place!"
A contract existed between a Battle Servant and his master.
If the Divine Monkey King agreed,
then when his master left the Hundred Broken Mountains,
he could follow him out as his Battle Servant.
There was nothing shameful about serving such a godlike youth as a Battle Servant.
Ordinary people could not get an opportunity like this even if they wanted one!
Still, the glory of his past left the great monkey somewhat conflicted.
Just then,
the Pu Demon Tree that someone had sent flying earlier swayed its way over.
With a worshipful gaze, he knelt before Shi Hao.
"My ancestors once cultivated to godhood in the outside world too, but my cultivation is far too low. Please accept me, Master!"
This fellow was volunteering to become a Battle Servant.
After all, throughout history, few people had possessed ten grotto-heavens.
According to incomplete historical records,
their subsequent achievements had each been greater than the last.
And almost without exception, they had all become gods.
If this Pu Demon Tree remained in the Hundred Broken Mountains, the pinnacle of his cultivation would merely make him the king of a small world.
But if he could grow in the outside world, he might become an unimaginable existence.
Mediocrity or immortality-it was an easy choice!
And when he saw someone trying to snatch his position as the first Battle Servant,
the Divine Monkey King opposite him immediately panicked.
This fellow showed no martial honor, sending the great tree flying with a single swing of his staff.
"Shoo, shoo! You unruly brat, don't you know what first come, first served means?"
"Ow! You!"
"Master, please accept my bow!"
What a monkey. Did it only taste sweet when he snatched it from someone else?
The Divine Monkey King had already become someone else's Battle Servant.
Naturally, those Peach Trees now belonged to his master.
Seeing this, Huo Ling'er and Yun Xi smilingly tucked those precious medicinal plants into their bags.
Meanwhile, the enormous monkey slowly shrank back to his normal size.
"Ow, ow! You monkey, you're completely unreasonable! My branches are almost broken!"
Although the Pu Demon Tree was very weak at the moment,
this fellow would indeed be extraordinary once he matured.
"All right, I'll take both of you as Battle Servants. Here is the contract!"
Once they became Battle Servants, they had to sign a life-and-death contract.
No matter what their master did to them, they absolutely could not resist.
And if their master died, not only would these two fail to gain their freedom, they would also die with him.
Of course, it was still possible for their master to voluntarily dissolve the contract.
After witnessing this,
the experts and ferocious beasts gathered around the perimeter naturally knew that their chance to seize this opportunity in the Hundred Broken Mountains was gone.
To avoid trouble, they could only obediently withdraw to the side.
After all this was done, Shi Hao finally completed his ninth grotto-heaven as well.
Seeing the miraculous scene before him,
Shi Hao burst into delighted laughter!
"The Pu Demon Tree is great! That cotton candy tastes really good. Big Brother, let's take him back to Stone Village!"
Hearing the boy's words,
the Pu Demon Tree was so frightened that he wished he could amend the contract and never leave the Hundred Broken Mountains again.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
"Master, please give me some time. I need to leave instructions for my monkey children and grandchildren!"
Seeing that the great gate was about to open,
a trace of reluctance flashed through the Divine Monkey King's eyes.
"Mm, go ahead!"
Such basic consideration still had to be shown.
After all, this monkey had never left the Hundred Broken Mountains before.
Some reluctance was only natural!
