“I don’t like looking up at others, so you’d better lie down now!”
Ye Chen smirked in disdain when he saw the monkey stepping on his head after its body expanded. He stretched out his fist and grabbed the air lightly. His aura suddenly changed.
“33-Days Divine Punch!
The sixth style: Shock Hammer!”
With that, a terrifying force spread out with him as the center. It extended for 1,000 meters, as if the s.p.a.ce had been shaken by his hand.
Bang!
The surrounding buildings froze for a few seconds before turning into dust. This completely exposed the monkey and him.
Countless people who were shocked by the earlier commotion were stunned when they saw this.
“Oh my G.o.d, what is that?”
“A big gorilla!”
“That’s not a gorilla. It looks like a monkey. G.o.d, how could it be such a big monkey? Could it be the Monkey King from China’s mythology?”
“It’s the Monkey King. Quick, kneel and kowtow to the Monkey King!”
“That young man is going to be trampled to death by that monkey!”
“…”
At that moment, countless people looked at Ye Chen and the monkey in a daze. All sorts of cries came out of their mouths. Those who were timid knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the monkey.
Some bold people took out their phones to take pictures.
Ye Chen turned a blind eye to everything. Instead, he threw an extremely simple punch without any fancy moves. All the hair on the monkey that was stepping on him stood up.
“Oh, no!”
The monkey’s body stiffened. A look of fear flashed across its eyes, and it instinctively wanted to retreat.
Although it was in a berserk state, it still retained some rationality. A strong sense of danger emerged inside of it after Ye Chen’s punch.
“Like I said, you became a toothless tiger since your innate divine power lost its effect on me!
Ye Chen scoffed coldly. He was like an arrow that was shot from its bow at full speed. Subsequently, he suddenly shot into the sky while turning into an after shadow as he charged at the monkey.
Everyone on the ground was shocked, and their jaws dropped.
“That young man can fly?”
“Are you sure they’re not filming a sci-fi movie?”
“Are they filming the Rise of the Planet of the Apes or Tarzan of the Apes…”
Roar!
With an extremely shrill scream, countless people felt their eardrums ache. They subconsciously covered their ears with their hands, but even so, the buzzing continued.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Ye Chen punched the monkey’s sole hard.
Following the monkey’s scream, one of its legs exploded on the spot, triggering a series of reactions. The other leg, thigh, stomach, chest, and head exploded one after another.
Flames instantly erupted in the sky, causing many people to immediately close their eyes while Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko was filled with shock, “Master… blasted Lord Soul Eater into pieces with a single punch? He’s t-too strong!”
If one took a closer look, they would notice that there was a green stream of air rus.h.i.+ng towards the sky from the flame. However, its speed was getting slower and slower, with blood dripping down from time to time.
“He’s still alive?”
Naturally, Ye Chen witnessed that. Surprise flashed across his face. Subsequently, he turned into an after shadow and chased after it without hesitation.
His plan was simple. An existence like the Weeping Soul Beast was too overbearing on earth. If he could not subdue it, he would destroy it.
The reason why he was not afraid of the Weeping Soul Beast’s soul-devouring force was mainly because after he broke through to Foundation Building, his Divine Consciousness had been elevated by several folds. The Weeping Soul Beast’s soul-devouring force could not affect him much.
However, it would be a disaster if this happened to someone else!
…
One man chased after the beast while the other fled. They arrived at Kagos.h.i.+ma from Miyama. After crossing hundreds of kilometers, Ye Chen finally found the monkey’s footprints at the entrance of a cave in Kagos.h.i.+ma.
Ye Chen stood at the entrance of the cave. After his Divine Consciousness covered the cave, he realized that the monkey was in the cave less than ten meters away from him.
However, he was still lying on the ground, panting heavily. There were blood stains on the soles of his feet, and his body had grown to forty to fifty centimeters tall.
“I know you’re in there!”
He was in no hurry to enter. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and shook his head, “I’ll give you one last a chance. Submit or die!”
Squeak, squeak, squeak…
When the monkey inside the cave heard what he said, its eyes turned red again. It subconsciously wanted to get up, but its body fell to the ground again.
Its breathing became weaker and weaker, and its eyes started to dim. Obviously, it had reached the end of its life. It would rather die than getting out of the cave.
Its consciousness began to fade.
It recalled something that happened more than a hundred years ago, waking up one night in a natural park in j.a.pan. It was ostracized because of its size and appearance. The monkey leader chased it, and the other monkeys threw stones at it.
It could only leave the park and wander to the human settlement, but it realized that humans were worse than the monkeys before. It could only hide in the trash, and it only dared to sneak out at night to pick up rotten vegetables and moldy fruits to eat.
Even so, he was still chased by wild dogs.
Winter had come, and it was freezing and hungry. It was s.h.i.+vering in a pile of cotton wool that was stuck in the trash. A scavenger found it when he went through the trash.
The old man was not the first human it saw, but he was the first human it did not feel any hostility toward. The old man brought it home.
In a dirty and smelly shantytown, the old man fed it some rice paste and placed it next to the fire. Only then did it survive. After coming back to life, it gained a new understanding of humans.
After that, an image appeared on the streets of j.a.pan. An old scavenger was carrying a bamboo basket, holding a metal hook in his hand as he wandered around various rubbish bins.
In the bamboo basket was a green monkey, it was very smart. After following the old man, it learned how to cla.s.sify trash within a few days, which were useful to the old man and which were not.
Therefore, every time the old man fell sick and rested at home without food, the monkey would sneak out at night to pick up the trash or go to the kitchen of a big family to steal some food or even go to the clinic to steal medicine.
The old man raised the monkey like a son.
The monkey did not know what the old man was to him. A savior? Its same kind? Father? It had no idea. It only knew that the old man treated it well.
One day, the old man suffered from a serious illness, and he started to lose weight. The monkey heard from the doctor that he needed an extremely precious herb that could only be found in the county.
Therefore, the monkey sneaked into the county in the middle of the night. Based on its memory, it managed to reach the county to steal the herb, but when it returned to the old man’s home, it realized that the old man was gone.
According to the neighbor, it turned out that the old man’s son, who had not seen him for a long time, had heard that his father was falling ill, so he had returned home early. The local rumors said that he wanted to demolish the place, but the old man refused.
The old man’s son had carried his sick father up the mountain to abandon the old man for the sake of the demolition money. In reality, this was not uncommon in j.a.pan.
That was the first time the monkey was angered. The monkey ran into the mountain, and when it found the old man, he was already dead.
It turned out the old man’s son ran into a wild beast when he carried the old man into the mountain. He was so scared that he abandoned the old man and ran off the mountain.
The monkey had never felt so angry before. It felt like something had happened to its body, but it did not care. It went off the mountain to find the old man’s son.
In its fury, the monkey felt that its nostrils were extremely itchy, congested, and its breathing was somewhat uneven. After it sneezed, the old man’s son’s soul was swallowed by it.
That was the first time the monkey had consumed a soul. Since then, it was like opening the door to a new world. No matter it was humans, ghosts, or monsters, they had no power to resist.
The old man’s death had completely buried the monkey’s innocence, and it had planted a seed of hatred in its heart.
After that, it relied on its ignorant consciousness to become the G.o.d of the Hidemoto clan and was revered by every generation of the clan’s master. Every year, the Hidemoto clan would offer many virgins for it to devour.
Humans were not even considered enemies in its eyes!
They were food at most!
…
The more it thought about it, the weaker the monkey’s consciousness became, and the color in its eyes dimmed. Finally, an expression of relief appeared on its face, and it slowly closed its eyes.
After sensing that, Ye Chen entered the cave in a flash. He shook his head and sighed softly when he sensed the vitality that was getting weaker and weaker, “You’d rather die from serious injuries than submitting to me?”
In the next moment, three medicine pills appeared in his hand. He penetrated the medicine pills into the monkey’s stomach, then transferred a large amount of spiritual energy into its body.
The monkey’s vitality that was slowly dissipating started to slow down. In the end, its vitality slowly grew, and the vital signs returned to normal.
However, a strange thing happened. The monkey shrank again, from 50 centimeters to 40 centimeters, then to 30 centimeters…
Eventually, it shrank to about ten centimeters at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. It looked like the size of an adult’s palm, as if it could be gripped with one hand.
The monkey opened its eyes.
Ye Chen was prepared for it to attack him.
However, a hint of confusion flashed through the monkey’s eyes the moment it saw him. Subsequently, it leaped onto his palm and kept rubbing its furry head against Ye Chen’s sleeve.
It was intimate. It was not how one would treat his enemy…
