Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Lin Fan, Jin Buke, Zhong Ling'er and Jiang Shuiling stood in the center of the battlefield, with complicated expressions, their eyes all fell on Ouyang Hu. The scene just now was simply too weird - the sudden appearance of the giant ape, the huge body of three meters tall, and the terrifying power that killed Yan Wuji in an instant shocked everyone present.

Ouyang Hu was also confused at this moment, and he touched his chest unconsciously with both hands, as if he wanted to confirm whether what had just happened was real. He remembered clearly that he had done nothing, but when his life was hanging by a thread, it seemed that some ancient power was awakened in his body, and the image of a giant ape suddenly appeared beside him and killed the arrogant Yan Wuji.

Lin Fan frowned slightly, his mind full of doubts. He thought Ouyang Hu had some secret skills that could burst out powerful power at critical moments, but the breath of the giant ape just now made him feel a familiar fluctuation. It seemed... he had seen a similar existence somewhere before.

"Ouyang Hu, you..." Lin Fan spoke slowly, his eyes filled with inquiry and confusion, "How did you do that just now? What exactly is that giant ape?"

Ouyang Hu scratched his head, looking even more confused: "Brother Lin, I...I really didn't do anything. I thought I was going to die, but at the last moment, a giant ape appeared out of nowhere. It just appeared out of thin air and beat Yan Wuji to death."

"Appeared out of thin air?" Zhong Ling'er asked in confusion, her face full of doubts, "You mean... that giant ape was not summoned by you?"

"Yes, I didn't summon any giant ape at all!" Ouyang Hu shook his head, his mood was complicated. It was not the first time he faced a crisis, but this had never happened before. This time the situation was too strange, even he himself was puzzled.

Jin Buke watched coldly and said slowly: "Since that was not a power you summoned, it could be an external object. Ouyang Hu, do you have any special magic weapon? Or a powerful bloodline inheritance?"

Ouyang Hu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to look at the ape skin armor he was wearing. He had worn this armor for a long time, but he had never found anything special about it. However, during the recent battle, he did feel that this armor seemed to help him absorb spiritual energy.

"Could it be... this armor?" Ouyang Hu said in a low voice, feeling a little shocked in his heart. "When I put it on before, I only felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing through my body, but I didn't expect that the power of the giant ape just now would appear out of thin air."

"Armor?" Lin Fan turned his eyes to the leather armor on Ouyang Hu and thought for a moment. He suddenly remembered a scene, and it seemed that he had encountered an ancient giant ape in the Holy Ruins. The giant ape was so powerful that it almost defeated their entire team. Could it be that... this armor was related to the giant ape?

"Wait!" Lin Fan's face changed, and he said as if he had suddenly realized something, "This armor... I remember it! We once encountered a giant ape in the Holy Ruins. It was extremely powerful and almost killed us all. Its aura is very similar to that of the shadow just now!"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly. The giant ape in the Holy Ruins left a very deep impression on them, and they didn't expect that this ape skin armor in front of them would be related to it.

"Could this armor be taken from that giant ape?" Jiang Shuiling murmured to herself, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

After hearing Lin Fan's description, Ouyang Hu gradually understood something: "I remember that I got this armor by chance during an expedition, and I didn't notice anything special about it at the time. However, since I put it on, my training speed seems to have become much faster, and my strength has gradually increased..."

"This armor is probably not just an ordinary monster skin, it may also contain the spiritual power of the giant ape." Jin Buke analyzed with a serious look, "No wonder this power suddenly appeared to protect you when your life was in danger just now. Perhaps this armor contains some kind of will or power of the ancient giant ape."

"The armor contains the power of the giant ape..." Lin Fan pondered for a moment and suddenly understood something. "Ouyang Hu, can you feel the power in the armor?"

Ouyang Hu lowered his head, felt it carefully, and shook his head: "I can't feel any clear power fluctuations. It is usually just a piece of armor that can make my body a little more flexible, but just now... I didn't actively summon the giant ape at all."

"It seems that this power will only be activated in life-and-death crisis." Lin Fan analyzed calmly, "This may be a self-protection mechanism of the armor. When the wearer is in extreme danger, the giant ape power in the armor will awaken to protect the owner and defend itself."

After listening to Lin Fan's speculation, Ouyang Hu also nodded, and he became more convinced that this armor was definitely not an ordinary item. Not only did it save his life at the most critical moment, it also helped him kill the powerful enemy Yan Wuji. It was truly a rare treasure.

Zhong Ling'er suddenly smiled and said, "I see, Ouyang Hu, this is a great opportunity for you! With this armor protecting you, no one will dare to bully you easily in the future."

Jiang Shuiling also smiled and added: "However, although the armor is strong, we cannot rely on it too much. We still have to rely on our own strength to become stronger in order to gain a foothold in this world of immortal cultivation."

Ouyang Hu was grateful when he heard their words, but he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for your concern. Although the armor is magical, I also know that the real strong man relies on himself. I will work harder to practice and not hold you back."

"Well said." Lin Fan nodded, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes, "As long as you have a direction in your heart, the road ahead will definitely become wider and wider."

As they were talking, there was a sudden noise in the distant Yunzhou City. Everyone looked back and saw that the guards who had been guarding the city walls were now running away, as if they had lost all their morale and fighting spirit.

"It seems that after Yan Wuji's death, the guards of Yunzhou City also collapsed." Jin Buke said coldly, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "These people from the Seven Star Sect are just relying on the might of the formation and Yun Li. When a real fight breaks out, they won't even have the slightest bit of backbone."

"They are panicking now. Yun Li is dead and the Seven Star Linked Formation is broken. They have no support and can only run for their lives." Zhong Ling'er added with a smile.

Lin Fan's eyes swept across the distance. Seeing this scene, he understood in his heart: "It seems that we have finally won this tough battle."

Jiang Shuiling let out a long sigh and said softly, "Finally, I can take a break for a while."

Lin Fan turned around and glanced at Jin Buke, Zhong Ling'er, Jiang Shuiling and Ouyang Hu in turn, feeling a little relieved. After experiencing this life-and-death battle, each of them had become more resilient and mature.

"Okay, next we have to recover well and be ready to face the next challenge at any time." Lin Fan said in a deep voice, with a determined look in his eyes.
