Chapter 2274: The Eight Experts

Jian Chen’s face changed drastically . Without any hesitation, he retreated rapidly, but the vital energy was just too fast . In the end, it still struck Jian Chen with great force .

Spurt! Blood sprayed out from Jian Chen’s mouth as he was knocked away . The vital energy was just too terrifying . Even with the protection of the Chaotic Body, he still became quite injured .

The eruption of energy from the ape’s body immediately caused the sea of blood there to toss and turn . At the same time, ancient, lingering consciousnesses within the cavern awakened from their slumber as if they had been startled .

Through his unique soul, Jian Chen immediately sensed the consciousnesses awaken in the cavern . It made him become uneasy .

“Do not get within a hundred kilometres of the Ancient Great Ape…”

“How many years has it been? Finally, a living being has come…”

“It’s a pity that he’s too weak…”

……

…

The consciousnesses all awakened and emitted mental pulses that echoed through the cavern .

Eight blurry, illusionary figures appeared around Jian Chen .

Two of them were extremely familiar to Jian Chen . The first one was a beautiful woman . She possessed a pair of golden wings on her back and seemed exactly the same as the seventh corpse he had discovered .

The only difference was that the seventh corpse stood several hundred metres tall, while the figure before him was the size of a human .

The second familiar figure was the human expert he saw that gave off a sense of righteousness .

Jian Chen glanced past the six other figures . They varied in age and gender, but they were all like apparitions as well .

It was impossible for Jian Chen not to realise that the six remaining figures were the six colossal beasts he saw at the very start .

However, they had not presented themselves in their original forms but as humans .

“Junior Jian Chen greets the eight seniors,” Jian Chen immediately clasped his fist towards the eight illusionary figures as he showed respect from the bottom of his heart .

This was respect towards power because he knew the eight figures possessed extremely terrifying power when they were still alive . They could easily unleash devastating might, where they could disperse a galaxy with the flip of a hand .

The eight experts all looked at Jian Chen . As they studied Jian Chen, they could not help but shake their heads . Undisguised disappointment filled their faces .

“Indeed, he’s too weak…”

“We’ve waited for so many years, yet only a junior as weak as this has come…”

“Sigh, he has already awakened our lingering consciousnesses . We don’t have much time left…”

“It’s impossible for our lingering consciousnesses to keep existing since then . Once we’re awakened, we’ll disperse before long…”

“It’s just a pity that he cannot fulfil our request…”

“We are out of options, so let’s still try it…”

The eight experts discussed with one another as they showed much helplessness .

Jian Chen seemed to make out something from their conversation . He clasped his hands at the eight experts and said, “Seniors, may I ask what you want me to do? If there’s anywhere I am of use, and it is within my abilities, I will definitely assist you with all that I have . ”

The illusionary figures of the eight experts hovered in the air . After hearing Jian Chen’s words, they entered a short moment of thought .

Afterwards, the human expert said, “You’ve already seen Gusta’s body, so you must also understand that our existence is only to provide abundant vital energy to nourish Gusta’s body . ”

“Gusta? That headless ape?” Jian Chen asked .

“That’s right . The name of the ape is Gusta . He’s the most powerful king of the Ancient Great Apes . He died many years ago, having been beheaded . Although he seemed like he’s dead, he’s not completely dead . A sliver of life still remains . ”

“The experts of the Ancient Great Apes wholeheartedly want to revive Gusta, so the eight of us were trapped here by the two other kings of the Ancient Great Apes . They used an ancient secret technique to drain our vital energy so that they could revive Gusta,” said the human expert .

Jian Chen came to a realisation from that . Originally, he thought that the eight experts had died in battle elsewhere before having their corpses being collected by someone and gathered here .

He had never thought that the eight of them had been trapped here while they were still alive .

Every single one of the eight experts was extremely powerful . Even after dying many years ago, they were still enough to make Jian Chen shivered . He struggled to imagine just how powerful the people who were able to trap such terrifying experts here would be .

At this moment, the winged woman said, “The Ancient Great Apes want to use the eight of us to revive their most powerful king . Naturally, we won’t let them get what they wish . Not only will we prevent them from succeeding, but we’ll completely destroy Gusta’s body as well . However, the eight of us are dead after all . All that remains is a sliver of consciousness that bears regret from our lives . We can’t complete what needs to be done . ”

The woman looked at Jian Chen deeply, “As a result, we can only leave the matter of destroying Gusta’s corpse to you . ”

Jian Chen’s heart sank when he heard that . He said bitterly, “Seniors, I may have to disappoint you . My strength is puny . I can’t even approach Gusta’s corpse, let alone destroy it . ”

Jian Chen felt troubled . Even if he possessed the strength to destroy Gusta’s body, he would not be willing to do so .

This was because once he did that, he would have completely offended the Ancient Great Apes .

“You don’t need to worry . We’ve already set up everything when we were still alive . We just don’t have the power to carry it out ourselves . ” The human expert said, “We’ve already engraved many layers of forbidden formations within our bodies . Once it’s activated, it’ll connect all of our bodies, and the remaining vital energy will fuse together . Even though our vital energy has been constantly drained away during all these years and only a bare minimum remains, there’s still more vital energy when you pour it all together compared to any one of us at our peak conditions . We’ll use the terrifying vital energy to deal a powerful attack through the formations, which would be enough to destroy Gusta’s body . ”

“My bloodline contains the power of corpses . Hmph, the Ancient Great Apes dares to murder me, so I will never let them have things easy . Not only will I destroy Gusta’s body, but my power of curses will also use Gusta’s bloodline as a medium to curse all the clansmen of the Ancient Great Apes across space . It’ll make all of them pay a heavy price,” an old man with a hooked nose fumed among the eight experts .

“The Ancient Great Apes should become extinct…” The figures from the other ancient beasts all said together . They were filled with hatred .

“If I really do something like that, I probably won’t be able to avoid being hunted down by the Ancient Great Apes . That’ll be both an arduous and fruitless matter for me to complete,” said Jian Chen .
