Chen Fan understood that he needed to plan carefully if he hoped to take the Blood Primeval Fruit.

Let alone the two terrifying ancient beasts, just the Black Wind Dual Fiends could threaten Chen Fans life.

His eyes flickered with countless brilliant lights as strategies bloomed and vanished in rapid succession: simulating, calculating, refining.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree helped calm his mind as he simulated all his plans, removing the ones that failed.

Gradually, his path became clear. Confidence lit his eyes, and certainty hardened his gaze toward the valleys heart, where the Blood Primeval Fruit would soon emerge.

Meanwhile, the valley itself was shifting. The countless ancient beasts stirred restlessly, the air thick with tension and with the metallic tang of blood.

As the moment of the Blood Primeval Fruits emergence drew close, the scent of blood saturated the atmosphere: the unmistakable fragrance of the fruit itself.

Picking up on this scent, the two leaders rose from their entrenched positions. Their former laziness vanished, replaced with razor-sharp vigilance.

Roar!

The colossal mammoth trumpeted, trunk whipping upward with devastating force, air detonated, space itself quivered, and chaos erupted.

Poof, poof, poof!

Several ancient beasts on the ancient apes side bled from their seven orifices and died on the spot from the impact.

Ordinarily, an elephants trunk was their most fragile part, this mammoth, however, turned its trunk into a weapon of sheer destruction. A single strike could pulverize even Chen Fan, bones shattered, organs ruptured, and physique destroyed on the spot.

This attack alone was enough to show the terrifying strength of this peak eighth-stage half-immortal realm mammoth.

Roar!

Seemingly roused, the ancient ape also roared ferociously. The ancient beasts under its command also began to stir restlessly, unleashing roars that shook the sky. Then, as if receiving an unspoken command, they surged forward in unison.

Across the battlefield, the mammoths forces answered in kind, its bellowing order sent its army thundering ahead.

In an instant, two colossal tides of ancient beasts collided head-on, the impact earth-shattering. Even from afar, Chen Fan felt his blood surge with excitement, his chest pounding with the primal rhythm of war.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ground split open under the weight of their trampling hooves, trembling as if the world itself were collapsing.

The ancient beasts at the forefront were smashed apart instantly, bursting like foamy waves against a cliff. Flesh and blood sprayed in every direction, turning the soil into a crimson mire.

The stench of blood drove the survivors into greater frenzy, making them charge with greater ferocity. It was as though two desolate continents were colliding, resulting in an apocalyptic clash that made even the Black Wind Dual Fiends cringe.

If caught between those raging tides, they would be reduced to nothing more than pulp beneath the merciless hooves.

In mere moments, hundreds of beasts had fallen, their corpses littering the valley, painting the land red.

And then, the true battle began. The two ancient beast leaders finally clashed. The storm of their clash could annihilate even a third- or fourth-stage half-immortal expert, shredding them to dust.

Snap!

The mammoth swung its trunk like an iron whip, detonating the air with a thunderous boom as it struck toward the ape. In answer, the ancient ape hurled a punch so devastating that it could shatter a mountain peak into fragments.

Spectating from afar, Chen Fan felt his soul tremble.

Bang!

The trunk and the apes fist collided in the air, the impact reverberating with a deep, thunderous crack.

Despite its tremendous strength, the ancient ape was forced backward. Against the mammoths sheer might, there was still a gulf in power.

Even so, the ancient ape was more agile. Every punch and kick carried the essence of martial arts. Though the ape appeared to be driven back, Chen Fan quickly realized that the two were evenly matched.

The mammoth pushed forward with great momentum, its massive steps shaking the earth. Any beast unfortunate enough to stand in its path was crushed into pulp, flesh and blood spraying across the battlefield.

Immediately after being pushed back, the ape rushed forth and unleashed a flurry of punches, shaking the space.

Although it seemed to be a flurry of random punches, it contained the hidden principles of having no strategy beating a master. Under the flurry of chaotic punches, one would not be able to withstand it even if they were well-versed in various martial arts.

The mammoth swung its trunk, unleashing countless whip silhouettes with tremendous power. It moved so fast that one could not see the movements clearly.

Chen Fan watched their clash with rapt attention. There was nothing illusory about their battle. Every strike landed heavy and true, raw strength unleashed without restraint. The sight stirred his soul, filling him with inspiration.

The killing continued. Ancient beasts fell one after another, dying the earth crimson with their blood. A metallic stench filled the entire valley. Instead of dispersing, the overwhelming blood qi converged at a single spot.

Chen Fan opened the Eyes of Breaking Deception and quickly found the location of the Blood Primeval Fruit. There, the ground trembled with a buzz, from the soil emerged a fruit the color of blood, its surface gleaming as though carved from crimson crystal, its size no larger than a babys fist.

When the fruit appeared, the scent of blood in the air grew thicker, further stimulating the ancient beasts into charging recklessly without a thought for their lives.

Demon beasts, ancient beasts, ferocious beastsregardless of type, their blood qi was unmatched, and the fruit, born from the essence of countless slain creatures, was the ultimate tonic. To them, it was irresistible.

Naturally, the Black Wind Dual Fiends also saw the fruit, and their eyes immediately lit up.

Big Brother, the Blood Primeval Fruit has appeared, but those two ancient beasts are too powerful. Snatching it wont be easy, said the Wind Fiend.

Although the twins could contend against a sixth-stage half-immortal together, they were far from comparable to the two ancient beast leaders. Let alone the leaders, they couldnt even deal with the other seventh-stage half-immortal ancient beasts in the valley.

No need to panic. Ill use a quasi-immortal talisman to hold them back later. Youll seize the fruit in the chaos. Once we escape their pursuit, well find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion. At that point, breaking through to the sixth or even the seventh stage wont be a problem, said the older brother, Black Fiend, confidently.
