Chapter 864: Chapter 863: Competing in Strength With This Lord Mosquito? Even the True God Realm Must Kneel!
Chu Sheng’s own strength was enough to kill True God Realm cultivators and Sea Demons. However, if he couldn’t find the location of the enemy’s divine seal, there was no way to truly kill them. Naturally, there would be no way to retrieve their corpses to increase his various attributes.
Unless the enemy actively used their divine seal to strengthen their power. Only under such circumstances could Chu Sheng track it back to the source, find the divine seal’s exact location, sever it, and completely slay the enemy.
Apart from the enemy actively using the power of their divine seal, there were other special methods to directly locate it. For example, the refiner of the Jiang Family Grand Elder’s Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake—that notorious evil cultivator from back then—possessed a special method to accurately locate the divine seals of experts in the True God Realm and Celestial God Realm, and forcefully sever them. This was the main reason that evil cultivator had nearly slaughtered an entire city and killed multiple Celestial God Realm experts, as well as one of the reasons he was branded an evil cultivator.
Furthermore, a hundred thousand years ago, when the Frost Giant Dragon fought the former Luoping City Lord, it also could use special means to quickly lock onto the divine seal’s location and sever it in one fell swoop. However, after the Frost Giant Dragon’s death, its strength plummeted, leaving behind only a skeleton. Thus, this ability could not be used for the time being.
Chu Sheng currently lacked a similar method to actively search for the divine seal of a True God Realm Sea Demon. Unless the opponent actively used the power of their divine seal to draw upon the Heaven and Earth Laws to strengthen themselves, he wouldn’t be able to follow the fluctuations of the Law to find their divine seal and sever it. However, the possibility of a True God Realm Sea Demon actually needing to use the power of its divine seal against a Void Refinement Realm mosquito was simply too low. It would be too humiliating to even mention.
Therefore, Chu Sheng only had a fifty percent certainty of completely killing this True God Realm Sea Demon.
While these thoughts swirled in his mind, Chu Sheng had already flown in front of the black mist. The black mist clearly sensed his presence and churned even more madly.
In the next second, the Storm Giant Ape King slowly emerged from the black mist, revealing its entire form. On its towering thirty-foot-tall burly body, its muscles bulged and coiled like the gnarled roots of an ancient pine tree. Each block of muscle was sharply defined, exuding an explosive sense of power. Its entire body was covered in dark cyan short fur. Under every inch of that fur, cyan Wind Element flowed, causing the surrounding air to constantly spiral. It raised a hand and clenched its fist. The sky-blotting black mist gathered and compressed in its palm, condensing into a heavy, ten-foot-long Wind Pattern Iron Rod that looked exceptionally formidable.
"A mosquito?!" The Storm Giant Ape King paused slightly when it got a clear look at Chu Sheng opposite it, its bell-sized eyes filled with astonishment.
Although it had long known that Gu Yuexi had a mosquito beast pet, seeing a fingernail-sized White-striped Aedes Mosquito flying all alone in front of it with its own eyes—and looking so utterly fearless on top of that—still felt inexplicably bizarre!
With a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation, she had simultaneously slain three Integration Realm Peak experts and massacred a hundred thousand-strong Sea Demon Army. Anyone who witnessed such a scene would have to praise her as a Child of Destiny. Yet, despite being so powerful, Gu Yuexi had actually contracted a mosquito as her beast pet... No matter how one looked at it, it felt incredibly weird. It was a complete mismatch!
After standing dazed for a moment, the Storm Giant Ape King recovered its wits and spoke in a deep voice that rumbled like muffled thunder, "Mosquito, call your master out. Otherwise, this venerable one will use you as a snack for..."
Before it could finish its sentence, the Storm Giant Ape King abruptly shut its mouth. It looked down at its massive thirty-foot-tall body, and then across at the mosquito that was so small it was barely visible. Using a mosquito as a snack... Would it even be enough to fill the gaps between its teeth?
The Storm Giant Ape King coughed dryly and hastily changed its threat. "Mosquito, if you don’t call your master out right now, this venerable one will slice you into a thousand pieces!"
After speaking, it deliberately shook the Wind Pattern Iron Rod in its hand, striking a ferocious and terrifying pose. But after sizing up Chu Sheng’s tiny body, even the ape felt something was wrong. Slicing a White-striped Aedes Mosquito into a thousand pieces... That seemed impossible to do, didn’t it? A single strike would turn it into meat paste; there was absolutely no need for a thousand cuts!
In its not-so-bright brain, the Storm Giant Ape King suddenly realized a very serious problem. Every threat it could think of seemed to be completely useless against this tiny White-striped Aedes Mosquito in front of it. If it threatened to kill the bug, it would look like a giant bullying the weak, making any victory utterly inglorious. If it threatened to torture the bug, there really wasn’t any room to inflict torture on such a small target.
In the end, it could only swing the Wind Pattern Iron Rod in its hand irritably and repeat in a booming voice, "Call your master out. This venerable one disdains exchanging blows with a measly White-striped Aedes Mosquito!"
In the face of the Storm Giant Ape King’s blatant disdain, Chu Sheng’s response was extremely simple. He raised his right front leg and stuck it straight up in the direction of the Storm Giant Ape King.
It was the most standard universal hand gesture imaginable.
The Storm Giant Ape King had dealt with the Human Race plenty of times and naturally understood what this gesture meant.
"Damned mosquito, you’re courting death!"
It flew into an instant rage. Its furious roar made the surrounding air vibrate and hum. The Storm Giant Ape King no longer cared about whether it was bullying the weak or acting beneath its dignity. The Wind Pattern Iron Rod in its hand smashed ruthlessly toward Chu Sheng, carrying a howling gale. Before the iron rod even landed, the fierce wind pressure had already crushed a shallow crater into the ground below. The surrounding gravel and dirt were blown away in all directions by the violent winds.
An enraged strike from a True God Realm Sea Demon smashing a tiny White-striped Aedes Mosquito to death... No matter how one looked at it, there was no suspense at all! Let alone a tiny Void Refinement Realm mosquito, even an Integration Realm Peak demon cultivator would be mashed into meat paste if they took this rod head-on!
However, facing the howling iron rod, Chu Sheng did not dodge or evade. He merely bent the front leg he had just stuck up slightly, adjusted the angle, and swung it right up to meet the Wind Pattern Iron Rod.
CLANG!!!
A crisp sound of clashing metal suddenly rang out. Sparks flew in all directions, and shockwaves rippled outward. A massive rebound force traveled up the iron rod, tearing open the webbing between the Storm Giant Ape King’s thumb and index finger. Immediately after, it felt a burst of numbness in its arm, and its body involuntarily stumbled backward. THUD. THUD. THUD. It only managed to steady itself after retreating over a dozen steps.
Meanwhile, Chu Sheng remained hovering in his original position, having not moved a single inch. Even the frequency of his flapping wings hadn’t changed at all. The front leg he had aimed at the Storm Giant Ape King slowly returned to its original state—pointing straight up, completely motionless.
It was still that familiar gesture.
This time, the Storm Giant Ape King did not fly into a rage. It widened its bell-like eyes and stared fixedly at the tiny mosquito in front of it, its face plastered with disbelief.
A White-striped Aedes Mosquito had blocked its full-powered strike?!!
Although that had just been a casual strike born of anger—having used no Divine Power, Laws, or divine seal—there was no way any random Integration Realm cultivator could have blocked it! Let alone a Void Refinement Realm White-striped Aedes Mosquito. Even those Integration Realm Peak demon cultivators renowned for their robust physical bodies would be smashed into meat paste and have their Divine Bodies shattered by that blow.
Yet Chu Sheng was not only completely unharmed, but he had also forcefully driven the ape back over a dozen steps! It was a True God Realm Sea Demon renowned for its formidable Divine Body! To think it had actually lost in a contest of pure physical strength to a tiny mosquito whose realm was far beneath its own?
If word of this got out...
Who the fuck would believe it!!!
