The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

After the Black Chimpanzee's account, Ling Feng finally understood that many years ago, the Holy Emperor carved a Sealing Array on the Atlantis Continent, with nine Formation Eyes that each had extra formations for protection, and only specific Keys could open them.

The Exotic Beasts led by the Black Chimpanzee have been guarding the Key under the Holy Emperor's order, but as time passed, the power of the Sealing Array has gradually weakened. To ensure the array's operation, the Exotic Beasts had to use the Keys to reinforce the Formation Eyes, and each reinforcement cost a great deal of mental energy and strength.

Those Keys are indeed the keys to locating the Formation Eyes, which is why the figures in black found the Black Chimpanzee and took the Key from its hand.

"Do you know the other eight Key Guardians?" Ling Feng asked.

The Black Chimpanzee shook its head, "I don't know, our identities as Guardians are very secretive, and even among ourselves, we're unaware of each other's identities. I don't even know how they managed to find me here, especially when my strength was at its weakest."

Ling Feng sighed. The Mad Doctor's knowledge is extraordinarily vast, and even his assistant Catherine doesn't know how many secrets he holds. From the words of the black-clad figures, Ling Feng could deduce that the Mad Doctor might not be on Earth right now, but in another dimension. If that's the case, it would be no surprise he found the Black Chimpanzee!

After all, the alternate dimension's research on Atlantis Continent is much deeper than Earth's.

"If they locate the Formation Eye through the Keys, they can easily destroy the Sealing Array, and then... the consequences are unimaginable!" The Black Chimpanzee said anxiously, "Little Princess, we must reclaim the Key!"

Xuanyuan Xia looked at Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, what do you think?"

"Me?" Ling Feng was stunned.

Xuanyuan Xia nodded and said, "Of course, you are the heir of my father, the Holy Emperor. It is natural for us to follow your lead."

Ling Feng couldn't help but clench his fist; he felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders.

"The Key must surely be retrieved!" Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "If we let them destroy the Formation Eye, the Sealing Array will soon lose its effect. It might not even last ten years at this rate!"

Ling Feng then looked at the Black Chimpanzee and said, "I suppose, as the Guardian of the Key, you should know which Formation Eye corresponds to it, right?"

The Black Chimpanzee nodded, "I do know that, and I've remembered the aura of all five of them. As long as they're within tens of kilometers, I can sense their aura."

Ling Feng was overjoyed, "That's great! Join us, but about your injuries..."

The Black Chimpanzee patted its chest, "Don't worry, these injuries are nothing to me!"

When Ling Feng appeared with the Black Chimpanzee before the Bright Saintess and others, everyone was stunned. How did Ling Feng, after going away for a little while, come back with a ten-meter-tall giant chimpanzee? Moreover, the powerful aura emanating from this giant chimpanzee was no weaker than that of an expert in the Demi-God Domain!

Tama's eyes sparkled with light; indeed, her choice was right. Brother Ling Feng easily subdued the overlord of this area. Indeed, as expected from the man she chose, Tama couldn't help but feel smug about her keen judgment.

"This is Little Black, our new partner!" Ling Feng said lightly, "Don't look at it that way; although it looks ugly, it's very kind-hearted!"

Little Black! The Black Chimpanzee was internally reluctant, thinking how such a ridiculously common name could reflect its mighty and fierce nature. Consider its ancestor, the Vajra War God—how imposing! And what about itself? Little Black War God... the Black Chimpanzee felt a sense of being wronged!

However, because Ling Feng was the Holy Emperor's successor and was recognized by the Little Princess, the Black Chimpanzee had no choice but to reluctantly accept the new name Little Black.

"Little Black, we need to quickly cross the Dark Forest; do you have any shortcuts?" Ling Feng asked.

The Black Chimpanzee scratched its head, "Shortcut? Just rush straight through, right? I heard my father say that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line! The Holy Emperor was the one who told my ancestor this."

Upon saying this, the Black Chimpanzee had a smug look as if it had revealed some profound truth.

Ling Feng mentally rolled his eyes, "I know rushing straight through is fastest, but could it disturb others like you?"

The Black Chimpanzee patted its chest, "Young Master, rest assured, with me—Little Black—here, they won't hassle us!"

Ling Feng suddenly remembered that Little Black was originally the overlord of the Dark Forest, indeed, having connections made things easier. In Atlantis Continent, such connections were equally useful.

"Young Master, your speed is too slow; hop onto my back. I am much faster!" Little Black said.

Ling Feng nodded, then everyone gradually climbed onto Little Black's back.

Little Black's back was wide, and its fur was thick; sitting on it was even more comfortable than sitting on a sofa.

"Hold on, everyone! Here we go!" Little Black shouted, then its body shot like a bullet toward the depths of the Dark Forest.

Rugged mountain paths, brambles everywhere, daunting rocky terrain—as far as Little Black was concerned, they posed no challenge.

"By the way, Little Black, there's something I've never understood!" Ling Feng said as he sat on Little Black's shoulders, "Does the Beast Tide have anything to do with you?"

"Those beasts went mad due to the Key's influence!" Little Black explained, "The Sealing Array's nine Formation Eyes correspond to the nine attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, and Darkness. The power I hold is the Power of Darkness, which naturally affects the surrounding creatures!"

Nine attribute powers! Ling Feng couldn't help but marvel at the extent of the Holy Emperor's handiwork!

"By the way, do you know about the Red Canyon? I heard a phoenix once fell there!" Ling Feng asked softly.

His initial wish upon entering Atlantis Continent was to locate the Red Canyon and find Phoenix Essence Blood.

"Red Canyon? Indeed, back then, a phoenix elder fell there, but it's too dangerous now. If it's not necessary, we should probably take a detour!" Little Black suggested.

"Why?" Ling Feng was puzzled.

Little Black explained, "The Red Canyon has now been occupied by a swarm of Red Scorpions. Those Red Scorpions are strong, always moving in packs. To pass through the Red Canyon, you would inevitably have friction with the Red Scorpions—they are a band of Executioners!"
