Divine Throne of Primordial Blood - Volume 2 - Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Kill

The piercing cry of the Firehawk was met by an infuriated howl from the ape .

When the smoke dissipated, a frighteningly large wound had appeared on the giant ape’s body .

The Giant Adamantine Ape’s Adamantine Body made its body as tough as a rock, but the powerful torrent of energy easily penetrated its body like a hot knife through butter . The massive wound on the ape’s body was deep enough to expose the white bone underneath .

But a moment later, the ape’s wound began to close automatically .

This guy’s recovery ability was abnormally powerful .

Even so, the Giant Adamantine Ape was infuriated .

Before this point, no person had ever given it such a serious injury before .

“AWOO!”

The giant ape’s body seemed to inflate slightly as it let out a primal howl .

It charged towards Su Chen, the ape’s massive body casting a shadow upon Su Chen’s body .

Upon seeing that the ape had increased in size again, Su Chen let out a quiet cry of surprise .

The Giant Adamantine Ape was considered “Giant” because it contained traces of a Giant Beast in its bloodline . As it grew, its strength would continue to increase .

The most obvious indicator of an ape’s strength was its body size .

The larger they were, the more powerful they were .

Twenty feet was one of the weaker existences among all the Giant Adamantine Apes . While it was much larger than humankind, this was quite common amongst Vicious Beasts . It was still quite a distance away from being considered a Giant Beast .

However, their bloodline allowed them to grow constantly .

Giant Adamantine Apes were easily angered, and rage stimulated their bloodlines, allowing them to increasingly awaken their bloodline’s power and become more powerful .

That was exactly what had happened . The Giant Adamantine Ape was enraged because of the pain . This activated the sliver of its ancient bloodline, causing its strength to increase .

“AWOOO!!!”

It let out an enraged howl as it charged forwards, its speed much greater than before .

Su Chen hurriedly retreated . Flames appeared in his hand as he sent forth another Firehawk .

“Go!” Su Chen shouted as the Firehawk flew forward .

But this time, the Firehawk did not transform into a torrent of flames . Rather, it flew towards the ape in hawk form . As if it possessed intelligence, its sharp beak latched onto the ape’s previous wound . That place was not protected by the Adamantine Body, allowing the Firehawk to tear off a large chunk of flesh .

The giant ape swung its arm downwards as it howled in pain, slamming it into the Firehawk . However, the Firehawk was completely formed from Origin Energy flames, so it was not a genuine lifeform .

Su Chen had learned this technique from Smoke .

Although Su Chen’s Firebird was powerful, everyone’s strength had been increasing, resulting in the Firebird slowly being left behind . .

Shi Kaihuang had taught Su Chen with his finger strike what “scope” really meant .

His future prospects would be limited if he continued to rely on the Erupting Firebird’s temporary power .

Thus, Su Chen was always trying to figure out how to strengthen his Erupting Firebird .

During the Red Cloud Slope battle, Smoke’s battle method gave Su Chen some insight as to how to improve his Erupting Firebird .

Smoke’s flames could congeal into a genuine substance . Rather than a one-time attack, the flames could become individual existences and attack repeatedly . Although the skill’s explosive power per attack decreased, the skill lasted for a longer time . In addition to having better harassment abilities, it could also absorb fire .

At that moment, the giant ape’s attention was drawn away by the Firehawk . It temporarily wasn’t paying attention to Su Chen .

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Chen formed another Firehawk .

Another unique characteristic of the Firehawk was that multiple could exist simultaneously .

Firehawk after firehawk flew forth from his hands, their flaming wings flapping as they dived towards the giant ape .

The Giant Adamantine Ape furiously swung its arms through the air . The many Firehawks seemed like meteors that were constantly falling from the sky . The ape almost looked like a dancer on a stage lit by fireworks and lanterns .

As the Firehawks were struck by the ape’s powerful arms, the flames that made up its body would decrease, shrinking the Firehawk itself .

Upon losing its ability to remain cohesive, it would explode .

Every time a Firehawk exploded, it would leave behind a small wound on the Giant Adamantine Ape’s body .

Although these injuries were not severe, they accumulated over time .

Even more annoyingly, these Erupting Firehawks flew forward in a constant stream as if there were a countless number of them .

The giant ape howled in fury .

Its wounds grew more and more severe . As it progressively lost more blood, the strength began to ebb from its body .

At this point, most of the hair on its body had been scorched off, and burn marks covered its skin . No patch of its skin remained untouched .

Even its powerful recovery ability was unable to withstand the torrent of energy . Its life force had been pushed to the absolute limit . The Giant Adamantine Ape began to wobble, and its footsteps also became much heavier .

In reality, Su Chen wasn’t much better off .

The Erupting Firehawk was larger and consumed more Origin Energy than the original version . Because it was an Improved Origin Skill, it also expended physical energy . In a short amount of time, Su Chen was forced to begin squeezing out the remnants of Origin Energy in his body . While he could replenish the Origin Energy he had spent using an Origin Stone, there was no way for his physical energy to recover .

As Su Chen continued to go all out, he felt himself grow tired, and his face became more and more pale .

“Dammit, isn’t this guy too tanky?” Su Chen cursed . Team Bright was nowhere to be seen . He flipped his hand, and a massive firebird appeared .

At that moment, his physical energy had been completely exhausted . He didn’t have the strength to release another Firehawk .

The strengthened Erupting Firebird slammed into the giant ape’s body, mixing with the uninterrupted stream of Firehawks and creating a fiery-red sky .

Immediately upon releasing this attack, Su Chen’s vision began to swim .

If this wasn’t enough to kill the bastard, he could only use that……

Thankfully, the giant ape was no longer able to ignore its injuries .

This strengthened Erupting Firebird was like the straw that broke the camel’s back . The Giant Adamantine Ape collapsed on the ground .

It hadn’t died yet, but it didn’t have the energy to get on its feet . Despair could be seen in its eyes as it let out piteous whimpers .

Giant Adamantine Apes did not fall over .

But once it did, it would fall into an eternal rest .

“Whew!” Su Chen finally let out a sigh of relief .

Su Chen walked over after catching his breath . .

He pulled out a vial from his storage ring and used it to catch the giant ape’s blood as he muttered to himself, “Don’t blame me . You’re about to die anyways, so you might as well help out the human race…… Your rage strengthens the power of your bloodline? That’s definitely something worth looking into . ”

The blood continued to flow from the giant ape’s body into Su Chen’s vial .

Su Chen filled vial after vial and then sealed them using a secret technique .

Blood obtained from a living target still possessed some vitality, so preserving it was extremely important .

After filling five vials, Su Chen pulled out a jade vial and placed it near the giant ape’s heart . He then stabbed the ape’s heart with his finger, filling the jade vial with blood essence that came directly from the ape’s heart .

Heart blood essence was the purest part of a Vicious Beast, and there was only a limited amount of it . Death was imminent if it was lost, so Su Chen had retrieved it last .

As the last drop of blood essence rolled into the jade vial, the giant ape closed its eyes .

Su Chen quickly stored the vial away and then began to absorb the Origin Energy .

Su Chen was not wasteful in the slightest – he drew the beast’s blood and absorbed its Origin Energy .

At that moment, a familiar group of silhouettes appeared a distance away from him .

It was Zheng Xia, Du Qing, and the others .

“Su Chen, Su Chen!”

They had finally arrived .

Su Chen rolled his eyes, but he still replied, “I’m here!”

“Heavens, it’s Su Chen! He’s there! He’s not dead yet, thank goodness!” Du Qing exclaimed excitedly and rushed over .

Her frustration from arriving so late had finally disappeared, and she was finally able to put to rest the fear that Su Chen might have died .

“Su Chen, thank goodness you’re alright…… We’re really sorry . We weren’t intentionally trying to harm you; something unexpected happened . Did you escape from that giant ape? No worries, as long as you’re fine that’s good enough,” Zheng Xia yelled loudly in explanation as he ran over .

But when he got close to Su Chen, he found Su Chen standing before the giant ape’s corpse .

Su Chen was using his unique method to send the giant ape off to the afterlife .

“This…… Heavens……!”

Everyone present was stunned .
