At this moment, Zhao Letian could only count on the Corpse Ape.
Fortunately, despite the several gargantuan ghasts possessing the cultivation of a high-level Sect Martial Realm, they seemed to be only around the level of seventh or eight Realm. Given the Corpse Ape's formidable strength, it should still be capable of a fight.
However, while the Corpse Ape dealt with these ghasts, it also had to protect Zhao Letian.
Because Zhao Letian, with his True Martial Eighth Realm cultivation, could hardly contend against so many ghasts of the Martial Realm. If these ghasts were to attack him, he would have no choice but to escape using the Blood Style Technique.
In the blink of an eye, from the moment the Yin Yang Demons extracted the Ghost King Stele to the release of the ghasts within, the entire process lasted only the duration of a few breaths.
The next moment, over a hundred ghasts with Sect Martial Realm cultivations had already rushed in front of the Corpse Ape.
Some of the ghasts went straight for the Corpse Ape with bared fangs and claws.
Others intended to bypass the Corpse Ape to attack Zhao Letian.
But just then, the Corpse Ape let out a fearless roar, and suddenly, streaks of purple thunder and lightning appeared over its body, as if the Thunder God had descended.
Following that, the Corpse Ape casually waved its hand, and arcs of electricity, like a spider's web, shot out in all directions, instantly obliterating the ghasts that tried to bypass it and attack Zhao Letian into dust.
Among them were not just several ghasts from the Initial Stage of the Sect Martial Realm, but even two or three from the Middle Stage of the Sect Martial Realm.
Seeing this, Zhao Letian was slightly startled at first, then his eyes could not help revealing a look of surprise and relief.
It appeared that the Corpse Ape was dealing with those ghasts with unexpected ease; a casual strike was enough to easily annihilate those from the Middle Stage of the Sect Martial Realm. It seemed even those from the High-level Sect Martial Realm would be no match for it.
"This is impossible! It has been refined into a zombie; how can it still perform its abilities from when it was alive?"
"Damn it, the Power of thunder and lightning of the Purple Lightning Thunder Ape is specially designed to overcome all kinds of sinister ghostly creatures; ordinary ghasts are simply no match for it!"
The two were incredulous and exclaimed in disbelief upon witnessing this scene.
Normally, once a demon beast is refined into a zombie, it would lose its abilities from when it was alive. Zombies that could inherit skills from their previous life are extremely rare, and they can be considered extraordinary and exceptionally unusual.
The two of them happened to encounter one today; it was incredibly unlucky.
If not for this specific method that counteracts sinister ghostly creatures, with the ghasts from the Ghost King Stele, the two would be almost invincible among those in the Sect Martial Realm.
At this moment, the Corpse Ape, after annihilating twenty or so ghasts, ignoring the ones biting and tearing at it, suddenly opened its wide maw and inhaled strongly, absorbing all the remaining ghastly energy of those twenty or so ghasts into its body.
After consuming the energy of those ghasts, the Corpse Ape seemed bolstered as if it had taken a powerful tonic, beating its chest and letting out an excited roar. Its aura became even more potent, drawing one step closer to the High-level Sect Martial Realm.
Seeing this, the ghasts that were originally biting at the Corpse Ape suddenly scattered, looking terrified, quickly avoiding the Corpse Ape as if seeing something extremely venomous.
"I almost forgot, the Corpse Ape grows by absorbing Evil Power; these ghasts are like a sumptuous feast for it."
Zhao Letian said with a faint smile.
The ghasts encountered their nemesis in the Corpse Ape, and it seemed that today's calamity should be easily surmounted.
"Darn it, send the high-level Sect Martial Realm ghosts to deal with it!"
Seeing those ordinary ghosts were actually afraid to approach the Corpse Ape, the short man couldn't help but frown and coldly said.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! ..."
As soon as his words fell, those several dozens of feet tall giant ghosts took huge strides, quickly closing in on the Corpse Ape.
Moreover, these giant ghosts were holding Yin Soldier Evil Instruments such as knives and forks in their hands.
With these giant ghosts taking the lead, the ordinary ghosts that were hesitant also mustered their courage, following behind, and pounced again.
Faced with these giant ghosts, the Corpse Ape showed no fear, letting out an angry roar to the sky, and its body suddenly swelled with the wind, shooting up feet by feet.
In just a moment, the Corpse Ape which was originally just over ten feet tall, had grown to a height of several tens of feet. Although not as colossal as those giant ghosts, it couldn't be called tiny anymore.
After enlarging, the Corpse Ape, still entwined with purple lightning, swung its huge hand, and thick arcs of electricity blasted out, ruthlessly hitting the closest giant ghost.
That giant ghost, although it didn't explode and die like the ordinary ghosts, but its body was charred by the lightning released by the Corpse Ape, couldn't help but let out a miserable scream, and then violently swung the black iron fork in its hand, stabbing fiercely at the Corpse Ape.
Relying on its indestructible body, the Corpse Ape fearlessly raised its fist wrapped in lightning and smashed it at the incoming black iron fork, breaking it into several pieces.
Immediately after, the Corpse Ape suddenly leaped up, extremely agilely mounting the neck of this giant ghost, then opened its huge maw, biting towards the ghost's neck, and directly tore off a chunk of black flesh, swallowing it into its belly. Enjoying the story? Discover more on *.
"Darn it, attack together, kill it!"
The tall man turned ashen with anger, shouting furiously.
He didn't expect that even the high-level Sect Martial Realm ghosts were no match for this Corpse Ape.
Moreover, it seemed that the Corpse Ape intended to devour all these high-level Sect Martial Realm ghosts.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ..."
As soon as the words of the tall man fell, the other giant ghosts as well as those ordinary ghosts all launched attacks at the Corpse Ape.
The Corpse Ape roared angrily, ignoring the attacks from behind, suddenly a terrifying suction erupted from its mouth, and actually sucked up the entire huge body of the giant ghost below into its body.
The next moment, a vast aura surged on the Corpse Ape's body, instantly sweeping away the attacks of those ghosts.
"He actually advanced, Sect Martial Seventh Realm!"
Letian's eyes immediately showed a look of surprise.
As the master of the Corpse Ape, he could clearly sense the exact cultivation level of the Corpse Ape, and after absorbing that giant ghost, the Corpse Ape's cultivation had indeed broken through to the Sect Martial Seventh Realm.
