4240 The Ten Ape-Like Monsters

The Sky Ascension Fruit was a divine fruit similar to the Heavenly Dao Fruit. Both of them could help an advanced Emperor of Gods break through the realm of a Supreme God. It was a life-changer for imminent Supreme Gods with low innate talent who were unable to become Supreme Gods.

"It's the Sky Ascension Fruit!"

Hou Dong and Qiu Ping's widened eyes shone with greed at this moment. However, after a beat, they sighed inwardly as they glanced at Duan Ling Tian and the veiled woman from the corners of their eyes.

'I hope they'll fight over the divine fruit and die,' Hou Dong thought to himself. He knew it was just wishful thinking, but he still could help but imagine the duo fighting to their deaths.

Jiang Yu Wei's eyes shone brightly as well.

The veiled woman was also moved, but she did not dare to act recklessly with Duan Ling Tian standing so close. After a moment, she sent a Voice Transmission to Jiang Yu Wei.

After listening to the Voice Transmission, Jiang Yu Wei turned to Hou Lian Yu and asked, "Hou Lian Yu, are you sure you want us to take this Sky Ascension Fruit? If that's what you want, you can't go back on your words later."

A hint of excitement flashed in Jiang Yu Wei's eyes after she finished speaking.

Hou Lian Yu frowned slightly upon hearing Jiang Yu Wei's words. Before the Sky Ascension Fruit appeared, he had told Jiang Yu Wei that she could have this level's reward because he was afraid that she was taking advantage of him and Duan Ling Tian. However, he did not expect the reward to be a Sky Ascension Fruit, which was very helpful to an advanced Emperor of Gods. If he had known better, he would not have made such a hasty decision on Duan Ling Tian's behalf earlier.

While Hou Lian Yu was caught in a dilemma, he heard Duan Ling Tian's Voice Transmission. His eyes widened, and a fearful expression appeared briefly on his face. He instinctively looked at Duan Ling Tian before he turned to Jiang Yu Wei and said, "Jiang Yu Wei, we want this level's reward."

Jiang Yu Wei and the veiled woman's eyes widened slightly upon hearing these words.

Hou Lian Yu continued to say, "You can have the final level's reward if you agree to our conditions."

The faint smile on Jiang Yu Wei's vanished immediately and was replaced by an indignant expression. "Hou Lian Yu, what do you mean by that? You want the Sky Ascension Fruit, and you also want us to agree to your conditions to obtain the final level's reward?"

Although the veiled woman did not speak, her gaze turned icy immediately. She turned slightly to look at Duan Ling Tian following that. She knew that Hou Lian Yu's words were Duan Ling Tian's intention.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian raised his hand and claimed the Sky Ascension Fruit before putting it away in his spatial ring. He did not have any use for the Sky Ascension Fruit, but it was useful to his family. The divine fruit was rare so he did not hesitate to claim it. After putting the divine fruit away, he only glanced at the veiled woman briefly before looking away. Clearly, he did not feel worried at all.

Meanwhile, Hou Lian Yu said to Jiang Yu Wei, "Jiang Yu Wei, why are you so impatient? Listen before you come to a conclusion. The Sky Ascension Fruit is indeed very valuable. However, the final level's reward will definitely be better. Perhaps, the reward is another two or more Sky Ascension Fruit…"

Jiang Yu Wei scoffed before she asked coldly, "What are your conditions?"

Hou Dong and Qiu Ping looked at Hou Lian Yu curiously, wondering what the conditions were.

Hou Lian Yu slowly said, "The reward for the final level will belong to both of you if both of you can pass it on your own. Big Brother Duan and I won't be helping both of you."

Jiang Yu Wei's expression changed immediately, and the veiled woman's gaze turned even icier. Let alone the final level that would be even more difficult, they knew it would be very difficult for them to pass the ninth level without Duan Ling Tian's help earlier.

Jiang Yu Wei said angrily with an unsightly expression on her face, "Hou Lian Yu, you're too shameless! Didn't we help you with the ninth level? You want us to face the final level on our own?"

Although the veiled woman did not speak again, her anger was palpable.

Meanwhile, Hou Dong and Qiu Ping also thought that Hou Lian Yu had crossed the line. However, they did not dare to speak up. Who knew if provoking Duan Ling Tian would cause them to die?

Hou Lian Yu shook his head and said, "Let me finish speaking… If you can't pass the final level, Big Brother Duan will step in. If he manages to pass the level without your help, it goes without saying that the reward belongs to him. However, if he can't do it alone, we'll all join forces, and the reward will go to you. The point is that Big Brother Duan wants to use the final level to test his strength."

Jiang Yu Wei and the others turned to look at Duan Ling Tian in unison after Hou Lian Yu finished speaking. They wondered why Duan Ling Tian was confident about passing the final level on his own.

A hint of shock could be seen in the veiled woman's eyes as well when she looked at Duan Ling Tian. After a moment, she said to Jiang Yu Wei through Voice Transmission, "Based on how difficult the ninth level was, it's impossible for him to pass the final level on his own unless he has the strength of a rudimentary Supreme God. If he really possesses such strength, there's nothing we can do even if he decides to go back on his word and claim the reward. In short, we have no choice but to agree to their conditions. We can only hope that he's blindly confident and is not strong enough to pass the final level on his own."

Jiang Yu Wei felt that the veiled woman's words made sense. Hence, she said to Hou Lian Yu, "I agree to your conditions. I hope the both of you will keep your promise."

Hou Lian Yu smiled. "Rest assured. We will definitely keep our promise."

Inwardly, Hou Lian Yu was rather shocked as well. When Duan Ling Tian told him about the conditions earlier, he was very certain that Duan Ling Tian could pass the final level on his own. However, he could not understand why he would trust Duan Ling Tian, someone whom he had met not long ago, so much. He did not doubt Duan Ling Tian at all.

Meanwhile, after recovering from his shock, Hou Dong asked Qiu Ping through Voice Transmission, "Qiu Ping, do you think he's strong enough to pull it off?"

"I have no idea," Qiu Ping said as he glared at Hou Dong. He found it difficult to believe that Hou Dong had the gall to strike up a conversation with him after their argument earlier. Did Hou Dong forget about their argument?

…

The tenth level was the final test in the natural secret realm.

After waiting for a while, the opponents for the tenth level finally showed up. This time, the opponents were no longer people from the Sanction Land. Instead, they were ten medium-sized humanoid monsters with terrifying auras. They were about three to six meters tall, and they resembled apes. All of them held a long staff, which was at least ten meters long, in their hands. A faint translucent figure could be seen looming above each of the staves.

"The staves are prominent divine artifacts with incomplete artifact souls!" Hou Dong exclaimed.

Before flying out, Jiang Yu Wei glanced at Hou Dong and Qiu Ping and said, "Let's test their strength."

Hou Dong and Qiu Ping felt extremely reluctant, but in the end, they flew out as well.

Unlike before, the veiled woman did not wait. Instead, she flew past Jiang Yu Wei, Hou Dong, and Qiu Ping and charged toward the ten ape-like monsters.

Roar!

The ten monsters roared when they saw the veiled woman charging toward them. They raised the staves in their hands simultaneously and pointed them at her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Five staves easily crushed the veiled woman's attack and sent her flying in the sky.

The other five staves were weaker so they failed to land on the veiled woman when she was sent flying back.

Based on this, it could be seen that the five strongest monsters were in the realm of imminent Supreme Gods while the other five were slightly weaker. Unlike the monsters from before, all of them wielded prominent divine artifacts with incomplete artifact souls.
