Chapter 790: Chapter 610: Burning Sun Stone Monkey

Deep in the You Man Forest, a gray Stone Monkey sat cross-legged on a cloud with its eyes closed. Behind it, a massive orange-red sun wheel slowly rotated, continuously shrinking until it completely merged into the Star Core in its chest.

The Stone Monkey suddenly opened its eyes. Within its copper bell-like eyes, golden fire intertwined and surged. In an instant, two beams of golden fire lasers shot out and struck the towering mountain ahead.

”Boom!”

The dual-colored golden fire exploded violently. Spirit Light Burst and falling stones occurred as the upper half of the peak was blown apart on the spot!

”Jijiji!”

The Stone Monkey, feeling the seemingly endless and boundless power within its body, grinned and laughed excitedly, charging wildly to release its energy.

With one step, the earth split open.

With one punch, the mountains shattered.

Before long, its gaze fell upon a scene of complete devastation.

”Jijijiji!”

After hundreds of years, the Stone Monkey finally broke through to the Burning Sun Realm. After a while, it managed to slightly calm the excitement in its heart.

”Zhi!”

The Stone Monkey let out a sharp howl towards the sky. Soon, surrounding mountains and forests were shrouded in smoke and dust, and the cacophony of beasts sounded incessantly as numerous Star Beasts gathered from all directions!

”Roar, roar, roar!”

”Howl!”

”Quack, quack!”

”...”

The choir of hundreds of beasts continued to converge, with even seven or eight Radiant Moon level Star Beasts among them!

The reason Huang Lion Tiger and others noticed that the number of Radiant Moon Star Beasts in the You Man Forest had decreased was because not only had Ruan Ruan and Antonios killed a few, but many had silently stayed deep in the forest, waiting for the Stone Monkey to break through.

Now that the Stone Monkey had broken through to the Burning Sun level, it naturally became the king of the You Man Forest.

The Stone Monkey swept its gaze over its numerous subordinates, thoroughly enjoying the worship and awe in their eyes.

Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, the Stone Monkey looked up toward a certain spot outside of the You Man Forest. Golden fire surged in its eyes with a rise of viciousness!

Previously during the breakthrough, it could feel something influencing the Earth Qi of Tiger Vein, pulling it towards a specific location.

At this moment, the Stone Monkey could clearly see that something was indeed drawing the Earth Qi away!

”Jiji!!”

”Roar, roar, roar, roar!”

With an angry roar from the Stone Monkey, the surrounding Star Beasts responded angrily in unison.

The Stone Monkey then leapt up and, leading the beasts, charged out, aiming to stop humans from occupying the Tiger Vein!

But before it flew far, the Stone Monkey suddenly halted, looking toward a specific spot ahead.

Silver light surged within the void, quickly transforming into a silver Space Gate that opened to both sides.

Then, figures clad in black robes emerged one after another.

”Ha, it’s an Intelligent Stone Monkey. I’ve killed two or three of these before,” Huang Lion Tiger said with a grin, battle intent rising in his eyes.

Shen Tu Yuan placed his right hand on the hilt of his saber and said coldly, ”Be careful. An Intelligent Stone Monkey at the Burning Sun level might have more formidable methods.”

Su Yuan unfolded the All-Knowing Vision, silver light floating in his eyes as he examined the Stone Monkey ahead.

Judging by the overwhelming and suffocating aura it exuded, it was undoubtedly at the Burning Sun level!

The Intelligent Stone Monkey also looked at the crowd, focusing especially on Shen Tu Yuan. Golden fire surged within its Eyes of Golden Flame, quickly deducing that the few people before it were likely the humans intending to occupy this Tiger Vein!

”Ji!”

The Stone Monkey’s face turned fierce, and with an angry roar, its eyes flashed with golden-red light!

”Scatter!” Huang Lion Tiger shouted.

The Stone Monkey’s eyes widened, and two beams of golden fire lasers shot out immediately!

”Boom!”

With a tremendous roar, the ground shattered, and huge trees were instantly torn to pieces. The terrifying golden fire spirit light blasted a pit 20 to 30 meters deep into the ground behind the group!

Bits of residual energy remained in the pit. The horrifying fluctuations made Su Yuan and the others realize that being hit would lead to certain death or serious injury!

”So this is the Burning Sun level!”

The pupils of the group contracted sharply, their scalps tingling!

The Intelligent Stone Monkey, as one of the Four Great Demons, was rare, though not extinct like the Ink Qilin. Most had seen at least one before.

Even Su Yuan had seen one before. Previously, a disciple of the True Yang Sect, Yan Zhen, had an Intelligent Stone Monkey as his beast.

But a Burning Sun level Intelligent Stone Monkey was completely different from a Shining Star or Radiant Moon level Intelligent Stone Monkey.

For the same type of Star Beast, talents and skills were mostly fixed. However, with each upgrade, these skills would have the potential to advance.

The Burning Sun level Intelligent Stone Monkey’s skills should have all advanced to the purple level, and its levels might almost all have reached perfection!

But that wasn’t all. The most important factor was the Burning Sun level’s terrifying Star Power, which was several times greater than that of the Radiant Moon level, forming a chasm-like disparity!

”Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The golden light in the eyes of the Intelligent Stone Monkey flickered multiple times, and beams of golden fire lasers continued to shoot out, causing mountains to collapse and the ground to crack!

Although Su Yuan and the others distanced themselves and dodged with all their might, it wasn’t long before the shockwave from an explosion flung Liu Qi from the Firehawk Guard into the air!

Seeing this, the Intelligent Stone Monkey immediately turned its gaze towards Liu Qi, its eyes flashing with ferocity as another beam of golden fire laser shot out!

”Damn it!”

Liu Qi had barely steadied the turbulent Qi and blood within his body when he saw the golden fire laser shooting towards him.

At this moment, a Fierce Flame Fire Leopard dashed over, entangling him and dragging him aside at the critical moment.

”Boom!”

The golden fire laser narrowly missed Liu Qi, pulverizing three small mountains behind him instantly!

Liu Qi gasped, feeling relieved yet worried as he looked at the Fierce Flame Fire Leopard beside him. ”Major General!”

The Fire Leopard was Huang Lion Tiger’s transformed state.

Despite his name ”Huang Lion Tiger,” Huang Lion Tiger was capable of transforming into forms other than ”lion” and ”tiger.”

Known as the ”Fiery Flame Beast” of Wusa, Huang Lion Tiger’s Power of Soul allowed him to master five different transformations. Each form had its strengths, enhancing his physical body and Star Power Talent in transformed states!

”You step back. Just hold off the other Star Beasts!” Huang Lion Tiger tossed Liu Qi aside and shouted to Shen Tu Yuan and Su Yuan ahead, ”We need to attack!”

Shen Tu Yuan and Su Yuan shared the same thought.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, being too fearful of its powerful attacks would only ensure failure. If struck by its attacks, they would either die or become gravely injured.

Effective combined attacks were necessary to restrict its unrestrained assault!

Su Yuan’s eyes opened and closed, golden wind surged around his body, and a golden mark appeared on his forehead.

Shen Tu Yuan slashed his long saber in his palm, allowing blood to flow out, and an abundance of dark curses surged over his body.

Huang Lion Tiger roared, left side lion, right side tiger, initiating a dual-form transformation.

The Oath of Returning Ruins, Evil God Curse, and Lion and Tiger Dual Forms!

Facing the Intelligent Stone Monkey, whose casual moves were deadly, Su Yuan and the others had no room for probing and no chance for it.

From the start, they were at full force!

”Void Sword Qi!”

”White Tiger Saber Draw!”

”Lion and Tiger Continuous Cannon!”

Su Yuan, Shen Tu Yuan, and Huang Lion Tiger simultaneously attacked, unleashing their long-ranged abilities towards the Stone Monkey.

”Ji!”

The Stone Monkey didn’t dodge, raising its fists and punching towards the incoming attacks!

”Boom, boom, boom!”

Various hues of spirit light exploded, and Su Yuan’s trio’s attacks were punched apart like bubbles!

The hardened skin on the Stone Monkey’s fists remained unscathed!

”Such strong defense!” Su Yuan and his companions were all shocked.

The Intelligent Stone Monkey, primarily of rock and earth with supplementary golden fire, had innate petrified skin with strong resistance to energy attacks, similar to that of Hellfire.

At this moment, other Star Beasts under the Stone Monkey’s command also charged.

Several Radiant Moon and dozens of Shining Star level Star Beasts, such a force was formidable.

”Leave them to us!”

Fu Shan, Fang Li, and Liu Qi leaped out immediately, fully bursting with power to block the numerous Star Beasts.

After breaking through Su Yuan’s group’s attacks, the Intelligent Stone Monkey didn’t stop. Its fists continuously moved, and horrifying fist power poured down like a storm towards Su Yuan’s group.

The overwhelming fist power left no room to avoid, causing the entire sky to quake and roar!

Su Yuan’s face turned grim. He accelerated to dodge as much as possible while swinging his longsword and releasing the Heavenly Lock towards the incoming fist power.

Despite this, the explosive fists made his Qi and blood surge turbulently, his throat tasting sweet.

At this moment, the Stone Monkey landed on the ground, right hand forming seals, spreading its five fingers, and slamming the ground.

The ground trembled, and a towering rock pillar rose.

The Intelligent Stone Monkey grabbed the rock pillar. Rock layers peeled off, revealing a metal staff, which it then grabbed as it shrunk in size.

The Stone Monkey stomped, shattering the ground, and shot forward to suddenly appear before Shen Tu Yuan!

Shen Tu Yuan’s pupils shrunk as he drew his saber and slashed out. ”Jingzhe!”

Saber light burst, but with a ”thud,” Shen Tu Yuan was directly slapped away by the Stone Monkey’s staff.

In terms of strength, Shen Tu Yuan was no match for the Burning Sun level Stone Monkey.

At this moment, the Stone Monkey’s side flashed with fire, as Huang Lion Tiger transformed into a fireball, rushing close and punching!

The Stone Monkey raised its left hand, forming a fist to meet the attack.

”Bang!”

The collision caused an explosion of airwaves.

Huang Lion Tiger grunted slightly, but his dual forms gave him strength surpassing Shen Tu Yuan, preventing him from being knocked away.

The Stone Monkey’s eyes glinted with fierce light, grinning as golden firelight surged in its eyes.

”Not good!”

Huang Lion Tiger’s heart trembled, knowing the Stone Monkey was about to release the golden fire laser.

At this moment, silver light flashed, and terrifying sword intent surged. Su Yuan wielded the Third Gear Void Sword Qi, slashing from behind the Stone Monkey!

The Stone Monkey sensed a threat, immediately pushing away Huang Lion Tiger and swinging its staff backward!

Su Yuan’s body flashed with silver light, instantly using Flashback to retreat.

”Ji?”

The Stone Monkey missed its target, grinding its teeth in anger, becoming more agitated.

At this critical moment, a swift, white light flashed past the Stone Monkey’s side.

”Jingzhe.”

Saber light flickered. Blood splattered, and the Stone Monkey had a fresh wound!

”Ji?!”

The Stone Monkey turned furiously, seeing the previously thrown-away person injuring it.

Shen Tu Yuan sheathed his saber, eyes coldly gleaming as he looked at the Stone Monkey. ”Seems you can be hurt after all.”

On the other side, Huang Lion Tiger rubbed his right hand, smiling. ”Envoy Su was right. It hasn’t fully controlled its surging power.”

Behind the Stone Monkey, Su Yuan stood with his sword, stating, ”Though it’s powerful, its physical defense is notably weaker than its energy defense...”

The three men formed a triangle around the Stone Monkey. With a glance at each other, they launched another attack!
