Mrs. and Mr. Smith

King-level Demon Ape!

The demon ape fell heavily to the ground, its massive body already transformed to human size.

Yet, for an instant, it stood back up, unaffected by the blow.

It stared intently at Ethan Smith and the others, then suddenly disappeared on all fours in front of the two.

"Damn, the Summoning Talisman is a genuine Level Twelve Pinnacle Force, and it couldn't even defeat this demon ape!"

Even though the opponent was of 'King' strength, Sithur Fatty's face turned ghastly pale at the scene.

"It looks like they're searching for something! Did something provoke them?"

Ethan Smith furrowed his brows deeply; this demon ape just left at first sight.

It wasn't like it wanted a life-or-death battle with them, suggesting they had a more urgent task.

"Boss Ethan, we should probably avoid this kind of disturbance. If we encounter a group of Kings, I doubt I could hold them off."

Fatty's face was somewhat pale.

Before he could finish speaking, a terrifying shockwave erupted beside them.

It swept them both hundreds of meters away, obliterating the massive trees in its path into a spray of wood chips.

The entire forest instantly transformed into a vast clearing visible to the naked eye, where dense figures of the Demon clan appeared.

Surprisingly, they've surrounded nearly hundreds of Hominini within them.

Among these people, six have awakened their Pinnacle Force, while the others are below Path Spirit Ninth Level.

Judging by the numbers, they're not the ones who entered earlier.

Rather, they seem like inhabitants of the Eight Desolate Beast Domain.

The Demon Ape, Bone Dragon, Dragon Elephant, and Blood Lion, the four King races, have completely encircled everyone.

Four powerful Pinnacle Forces joined as one, the terrifying aura even suppressing a team of nearly thirteen Hominini.

"My Pinnacle Force is suppressed! I can only extend it about a meter; these four Kings have terrifying power!"

A man wielding a gigantic ax shouted loudly to uplift everyone.

"I'm suppressed, too!"

A woman spoke out with a deeply grave expression.

"Master Lan Ze, you take command!"

The man's heartbeat quickened, enduring immense pressure at the forefront, and now he felt a choking sensation.

They had lived here all along, and today, after the Heaven's Rite, they sensed the release of a spatial storm.

So they formed a team, trying to leave together, but barely had they started when they encountered this calamity.

Almost everyone now wore expressions of sheer terror.

Apart from these four Kings, there's nearly a hundred Beasts.

"Form into a formation and meet the enemy. We, Giant Mountain, Qinghan, and Shen Yu, each handle one King. Eryndor Flint, Lioren Flint, you two brothers remain behind us, ready to assist at any time. The rest form up and battle those below King-level Demonic Beasts."

An elder master instructed, as the Demon Beasts were already upon them.

Kill!

Giant Mountain's expression twisted, muscles bulging between his arms.

Black lightning crackled around his arms as he swung his ax with mountain-cleaving force directly at the demon ape.

"Courting death."

The demon ape, transformed into a human-sized being covered in white fur, allowed the ax to strike its chest.

Impossible!

The Giant's eyes widened.

Despite putting all his might into the swing, there was only a white mark left on the demon ape's body!

The next moment, the demon ape crushed his head with one hand.

The swift defeat left the brothers Eryndor and Lioren Flint unable to react in time to assist.

"Stop this demon ape! If it gets through, these people are doomed!"

Master Lan Ze was startled by the unexpected turn of events.

The brothers stepped forward together to confront the demon ape, terrifying heat waves churning before them.

For a moment, the air seemed to boil.

As they pushed forth with their combined palms, the sweltering heat wave surged.

The visible Fire Dragon crashed directly into the demon ape's chest!

Roar!

A dark figure swept in, and the sweeping hand of the ape flung the brothers backward.

A large, scorched black patch appeared on its chest, yet the demon ape didn't care.

At the moment of confrontation, the elite Pinnacle Force warriors also fell into disadvantage.

Path Spirit Realm and True Spirit Realm Hominini were decimated instantly in the onslaught of Demon Beasts.

Composed of these four clans, the Demon Beasts overwhelmed them in both numbers and strength.

Suddenly, it sensed something.

The demon ape sniffed toward the Hominini, delight spreading across its face.

Boom!

An enormous iron hoof stomped down, forming a vortex-like shockwave beneath it.

Then it resonated, shaking the entire space violently.

Nearly a thousand vortices slowly formed.

The Dragon Elephant let out a muffled roar, a hint of joy on its face.

With this strike, it jolted Master Lan Ze away.

The resonance of the iron hoof also restrained the other two Hominini Pinnacle Force experts.

Including the demon ape, the four Kings charged madly toward the group of Hominini.

The previously defensive few were caught off guard by the turn of events.

When they tried to intercept, it was already too late.

Not good! Quickly scatter!

"Fat chance!"

The Dragon Elephant grunted.

The massive iron hoof stomped down again, the massive shockwave forming a barrier encircling the Hominini.

Those close to the shockwave were torn to shreds by the violent force.

"Damn it, break it open!"

A silver flash burst forth as a Flying Sword emanated from a young man.

Then it turned into a silver gleam striking the wave, but the Flying Sword was shredded by the terrifying force as it struck.

He spat a mouthful of blood, as his Path Spirit power couldn't shake the Pinnacle Force.

Hahaha, capture them all!

The demon ape's arm returned to its normal form, and it swung its terrifying arm.

The immense force seemed to compress the air, releasing a piercing sonic boom.

Ancestral Chaos Fire!

In the midst of the screams, Ethan Smith finally couldn't hold back.

He lifted the seal of the Heavenly Dew of Earth on the Ancestral Chaos Fire, and the fire transformed into a wall before the four Kings.

Howl!

The demon ape's face twisted, its ape arm again accelerating to smash against the fire wall.

Absolute power slammed in full force, momentarily suppressing the Ancestral Chaos Fire's flames.

Almost simultaneously, an iron hoof was already above Ethan Smith.

As it stomped down, a terrifying shockwave descended on Ethan Smith like a meteor.
