Chapter 7: The Long-Armed Savage Ape

In an instant, a ape-like beast suddenly appeared before Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui.
This beast stood three meters tall, covered in black fur, with arms so long they nearly touched the ground. Its fierce black eyes sent chills down anyone’s spine.
“Qu Yi, this is the Long-Armed Savage Ape. Its strength is on par with that of a Divine Being, but it’s extremely fast. Be careful,” came the voice of the Divine Artifact God just in time.
As soon as the Long-Armed Savage Ape appeared, it gave Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui no time to react. It leaped up with a powerful push from its legs and charged straight at Qu Yi.
“Damn you! You beast want to hurt me?” Qu Yi was furious as the ape attacked him immediately.
Qu Yi grabbed his divine artifact, the Sharp Silk Tree, and charged forward. Driven by chaotic energy, thousands of sharp threads shot out from the tree, flying toward the Long-Armed Savage Ape.
The Sharp Silk Tree was a well-known tree species in the Divine Realm, capable of producing threads by nature. Each thread was extremely sharp, capable of piercing even a divine body. Naturally, if all these threads could penetrate the Long-Armed Savage Ape’s body, it would die instantly.
But before Qu Yi could smile, the ape suddenly twisted its body, dodging the threads, and quickly flew toward Qu Yi from the side. Its long arms, heavy as mountains, were poised to strike him.
“Ugh, don’t get too arrogant.”
“Slash! Kill it!”
At that moment, Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui also reacted. They shouted angrily and drew their divine artifacts, the Glowing Seal and the Golden Patterned Sword.
The Glowing Seal suddenly enlarged, breaking free from Wu Yuan’s hands and slamming toward the Long-Armed Savage Ape.
Qing Wu Gui flew into the air as the Five Elements Essence energy around him was drawn by the Heart of the Five Elements, lifting him toward the ape. Along with the Glowing Seal, Qing Wu Gui thrust his Golden Patterned Sword from the other side—slow at first but swift—reaching the ape’s shoulder in an instant.
The Long-Armed Savage Ape roared and darted away, evading both attacks.
Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui lined up together, while the ape stood on the ground, continuing to grunt and prepare its next attack.
“That Long-Armed Savage Ape is indeed very fast,” Qu Yi said calmly.
“Ugh, its body isn’t hard enough. Our divine artifacts can hurt it,” Wu Yuan said disdainfully, looking at the ape with mockery.

“It’s just right for me; I need to cultivate the art of killing,” Qing Wu Gui said calmly.
Other cultivators, upon seeing this Long-Armed Savage Ape, would have long tried to escape. But Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui still had the leisure to observe it, even commenting on it, and some even wanted to fight it.
Only Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui had such courage. With divine weapons in their hands and their unique souls, they dared to confront the Long-Armed Savage Ape head-on.
The Long-Armed Savage Ape roared for a while. Seeing that Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui weren’t frightened, it stopped roaring. In these Savage Beast Mountains, the Long-Armed Savage Ape was among the weakest and could only live on the periphery. When faced with stronger beasts, it used its roars to intimidate them. But this time, it found that its roars not only failed to scare them but also made them look down on it even more.
Roar!
Suddenly, the Long-Armed Savage Ape soared upward swiftly, its two arm-length arms clenched into fists at its waist, carrying the force to shatter mountains, and charged at Qu Yi again. Undoubtedly, if that punch landed, even Qu Yi’s strong body would suffer severe damage.
Qu Yi remained calm, holding his divine weapon, Rui Si Wood, and pointing it at the Long-Armed Savage Ape. He then sent out a thousand strands of green silk, which wrapped around it from all sides, trapping it and preventing it from escaping.
Wu Yuan shouted angrily. How infuriating that the Long-Armed Savage Ape was acting aggressively again! In an instant, he threw out the Glowing Seal, which emitted a burst of golden light and quickly grew as large as a mountain, pressing down on the beast.
A cold glint flashed in Qing Wu Gui’s eyes as he soared upward, diving straight at the Long-Armed Savage Ape. The blade of his divine weapon, the Golden Patterned Sword, already shone with golden light, its murderous intent enveloping the beast.
Feeling the strength of Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui once again, the Long-Armed Savage Ape retreated in panic, landing far away and resuming its eerie roars. It was truly enraged by their actions.
The strength of these three was incredibly formidable!
Even its proud speed couldn’t be utilized under the simultaneous defense of Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui. After all, attacking one of them meant facing attacks from the other two. Even if it killed one, it would suffer severe injuries and likely die itself.
Though savage, beasts are also highly sensitive to the feeling of death.

After taking in the Long-Armed Gorilla, Qu Yi’s eyes shifted, and a smile appeared on his lips as he came up with a plan to deal with it. Suddenly, a Soul Compass appeared in his hand. The Soul Compass fell to the ground, and Qu Yi quickly ran forward, dropping another one every ten meters. Meanwhile, he kept moving toward the Long-Armed Gorilla, holding the divine weapon Rui Si Mu, ready to swing it at it. The Long-Armed Gorilla was still somewhat lacking in intelligence; it only saw Qu Yi charging at it angrily and didn’t notice his intention to drop the Soul Compasses. At that moment, the Long-Armed Gorilla leaped up, moving like a rabbit, and rushed at Qu Yi, already swinging its arms high, aiming to smash him to pieces. Qu Yi didn’t use Rui Si Mu either. The moment the gorilla’s arms swung toward him, he disappeared, reappearing ten meters away—right where he had dropped the Soul Compasses. Indeed, Qu Yi had secretly taken out the Boundless Starry Sky, using it to teleport out of the gorilla’s attack range the moment it struck. The Long-Armed Gorilla was stunned for a moment, then saw Qu Yi retreat ten meters away and assumed his speed had suddenly increased, so he didn’t delve deeper into it. Unrelenting, it continued to chase after him, arriving beside him in the blink of an eye and swinging its arms again. Qu Yi vanished once more, appearing where the gorilla had stood before. The gorilla grew furious, spun around quickly, and rushed at Qu Yi again with fierce momentum, arriving right beside him. But Qu Yi disappeared just in time. With the divine weapon Boundless Starry Sky, Qu Yi possessed teleportation abilities, and thanks to his chaotic energy traits, he never had to worry about running out of divine energy, allowing him to use Boundless Starry Sky countless times. The Long-Armed Gorilla, mocked by Qu Yi in this way, became utterly enraged. It roared loudly and chased after Qu Yi like a storm. Qu Yi laughed heartily, constantly changing locations, ensuring the gorilla could never strike him. Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui watched from the side. They knew Qu Yi was using Boundless Starry Sky, so they didn’t need to intervene to help him fight the Long-Armed Gorilla. Instead, they smiled as they watched the chase. “Ugh, Qu Yi is really despicable, using a divine weapon against the Long-Armed Gorilla. I think he’s going to drive it to death with exhaustion,” Wu Yuan couldn’t help but say.

Now, after those frantic leaps, the Long-Armed Savage Ape was no longer as agile as before, its stamina greatly depleted.
“Qu Yi is truly clever. By exhausting the Long-Armed Savage Ape’s stamina, its speed is now almost on par with ours,” Qing Wu Gui said calmly.
Indeed, Qu Yi used the Boundless Stars to reduce the Long-Armed Savage Ape’s speed, so he could then attack it. Otherwise, if the three of them attacked it, the ape could use its speed advantage to escape, leaving them helpless.
Without that speed advantage, the Long-Armed Savage Ape would truly become prey for the three of them.
After a while, Qu Yi suddenly shouted, “You two, still standing there watching? Come here quickly! Let’s work together to kill this Long-Armed Savage Ape.”
Qu Yi had been taunting the ape for a long time, not only angering it but also successfully depleting its stamina, thus greatly reducing its speed.
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui laughed heartily and immediately rushed over with their divine weapons.
Because of the extreme volatility of the Five Elements primordial energy, Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui could not use spells like spatial jumping and had to rely on their own speed, which required some effort.
Wu Yuan carried the divine weapon, the Glowing Seal, while Qing Wu Gui wielded the Golden Patterned Sword. They quickly reached the Long-Armed Savage Ape and launched an attack.
“Long-Armed Savage Ape, you can’t escape now. Hand over your life,” Qu Yi said happily as he saw the two approaching and stopped in his tracks.
Due to its limited intelligence, once enraged, the ape would not calm down unless it killed its target. Seeing Qu Yi stop, it leaped again and swung its arms down fiercely.
Qu Yi suddenly took out the Star Luo Ding and raised it high above his head. With a loud bang, it successfully blocked the ape’s attack.
Given the quality of the Star Luo Ding, it was far beyond the ape’s ability to break. Moreover, the ape’s hands swelled up painfully, causing it to roar in agony.
At that moment, Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui also struck the ape from the left and right.
Wu Yuan threw the Glowing Seal, which suddenly enlarged before crashing down on the ape’s head, pressing its body down with great force.
Qing Wu Gui’s Golden Patterned Sword, though seemingly ordinary, pierced deep into the ape’s body with brutal efficiency.

With its head and body damaged, the Long-Armed Savage Ape had forgotten the pain in its arms and immediately glared angrily at Qing Wu Gui, ready to swing both hands at him. But Qu Yi was prepared; his divine weapon, Rui Si Wood, was also aimed at the Long-Armed Savage Ape. Suddenly, he unleashed a thousand strands of green hair, all of which pierced into the ape’s back and emerged through its chest. The Long-Armed Savage Ape could no longer move, as thousands of blood holes kept oozing blood, quickly covering its body. Moreover, it was horrified to discover that an indescribable energy had entered its body, blocking the flow of its divine essence, preventing it from stopping the loss of blood. After using those thousand strands of green hair to pierce the ape’s body, Qu Yi immediately injected chaotic energy into it, rendering it powerless. Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui also didn’t hold back—Wu Yuan used his Glowing Seal to launch fierce attacks again, while Qing Wu Gui wielded his Golden Patterned Sword, delivering dozens of swift slashes in moments. The Long-Armed Savage Ape’s body was instantly riddled with wounds, bleeding profusely. It roared loudly before its massive body collapsed. Under the combined attacks of Qu Yi, Wu Yuan, and Qing Wu Gui, the Long-Armed Savage Ape finally died. “Haha, we’ve entered the Divine Realm, and we killed a beast in our first battle—what a joy!” Qu Yi put away his divine weapon and cheered happily as he looked at the fallen ape. “Ugh, you did all the fighting by yourself. I had a terrible time,” Wu Yuan complained. “Next time we encounter a beast, leave it to me,” Qing Wu Gui declared simply. Qu Yi chuckled, then stared at the Long-Armed Savage Ape, shook his head, and said, “This ape was just too unlucky to run into us. Well, since it’s dead, we’ve also obtained a hundred Divine Crystal Trees—consider it a great gain. Let’s continue into the Beast Mountain Range. We won’t return until we gather thirty thousand Divine Crystal Trees.” Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui nodded. Just as Qu Yi was about to leave, the voice of the Divine Weapon sounded: “Qu Yi, you’re really generous. There’s a Beast Core inside this Long-Armed Savage Ape—will you just give it up like that?”
