C343 Illusion God Awakened
The next day, after Mingsi finished regulating his breathing, he sat at the edge of the cave and squinted his eyes at the Diamond Ape that was also staring at him. The body of the big ape had already recovered to its original state. Since its strength had reached its current realm, its recovery speed was naturally not slow.
However, what made Mingsi feel different was that the giant ape's eyes were still blood-red. The luster that radiated from it made Mingsi feel scorching hot just by looking at it.
"Roar!"
When it saw Mingsi appear once again, the Diamond Ape glared at him angrily. It took a long time before it let out a deep roar. It was no longer as violent as before, but it sounded even more terrifying.
"I'm not afraid of you!" Mingsi was not a timid person. When he saw the Diamond Ape's appearance, he felt indignant. He had already spent half a day resting, and his condition was not bad. He summoned his shadow clone and slashed down.
On this day, Mingsi once again fought with the Diamond Ape. This battle lasted for four hours. Finally, Mingsi was exhausted and defeated. He had just dragged his bloody body back to the cave when he lost his balance and almost fell to the ground.
"Damn it!" Mingsi struggled to get up. He raised his head and looked at Illusion God, who was sitting cross-legged in the depths of the cave. He did not want to disturb Illusion God. Instead, he took out a large number of medicinal pills and swallowed them. After that, he started to circulate his energy and regulate his breathing.
On the third day, Mingsi, who had fully recovered, once again brandished his shadow and jumped down the mountain forest, fighting with the Diamond Ape that had been waiting there for a long time. When the two met, they did not even need to make any sounds of provocation, nor did they need to warm up. The first thing they did was to use a ruthless move. They were like mortal enemies that wouldn't rest until one of them died.
However, on this day, Mingsi's defeat still ended. This battle continued for a longer time, but at the same time, Mingsi's condition was worse when he returned to the cave. However, he didn't feel disheartened because of this. He lowered the unwillingness in his eyes and rested for another night. Fortunately, Mingsi had a lot of pills, so he didn't care about the consumption.
This battle continued for nine days. In this short period of time, Mingsi had to fight to the death with the Great Strength Diamond Ape every day, but there was no exception. Every time, Mingsi would be defeated. As a high grade Spirit Beast, the Diamond Ape's spirit energy was comparable to a human's one source spirit energy. In addition to the powerful physical strength, Mingsi also used his own profound spiritual energy. This was the only way he could fight against it.
During this period of time, Mingsi had used all of his techniques, including his most powerful Void True Spirit Arm. However, he had only severely injured the Diamond Ape, and hadn't been able to kill it. Mingsi had also paid the price of being struck by the Diamond Ape. Both of them had lost their combat strength. The battle seemed to have no result, and continued until the ninth day.
That night, Mingsi had almost finished resting, but he still needed spiritual energy to nourish his meridians. He sat beside the cave and felt the changes in his body. His thoughts were moving up and down.
He had fought nine times with the Herculean Diamond Ape, but he had failed all nine times. However, this was not Mingsi's only gain.
From the second battle onwards, Mingsi could clearly feel that his endurance had increased. Although he had left behind injuries all over his body, those were not hidden dangers. This was because he could slowly recover through medicinal pills. On the contrary, Mingsi felt that his ability to resist blows had also improved rapidly in the past few days.
Every time he fought, he would not spare any strength, fighting with the Diamond Ape whose strength was close to a 2-Essences cultivator. From the beginning when he was crushed to now when they were evenly matched, Mingsi had gained more than a little.
The night was very quiet. In the mountain forest below, One could see a black shadow with a golden glow lying on the ground among the trees. It seemed to be sleeping soundly. Mingsi would not be foolish enough to sneak attack at this time. The Diamond Ape had already developed intelligence. Unless his strength was enough to crush it, he might fall into a trap if he tried to sneak attack.
"Something's not right!" Mingsi suddenly thought of something. He looked into the distance and found that within a hundred meters of his cave, there were no other large Spirit Beast. For the past nine days, Mingsi had been fighting with the Herculean Diamond Ape tirelessly and had forgotten about the surrounding environment.
"Why aren't there any other Spirit Beast attracted here?" Mingsi felt that it was somewhat unbelievable when he thought of this. But soon, he heard a light footstep behind him. The footstep was very soft. However, Mingsi's senses were sharp, and he immediately noticed it. He suddenly turned around and saw the moonlight. A clear and ethereal figure was slowly walking towards him with gentle steps.
It was a somewhat thin and weak figure with a blurry face. The figure was not large, and overall, it looked somewhat blurry. Because of this, the figure looked somewhat otherworldly under the moonlight.
Mingsi was obsessed with it, as if the person in front of him at this moment was the incarnation of a moon, ethereal and gentle, cleansing the hearts of people.
"Silly kid, you don't recognize me anymore?" A familiar voice was heard, instantly waking Mingsi up from his trance.
Looking at the source of the voice, Mingsi frowned, "Illusion God?" Illusion God's figure was different from before. Although it was still an illusion, it had become more solid, and the Qi emitted from his body was even stronger.
"You have recovered your strength?" Mingsi asked. He knew that Illusion God had finished his seclusion.
"It's slightly weaker than expected, but it has also recovered by nearly 30%. " Illusion God waved his hand. His face was still blurry, and no one could see his facial features. It was as if he was trying to hide his true face. "But it doesn't matter. With your current strength, it's more than enough to protect you. "
Mingsi nodded his head and revealed a joyful expression. He asked, "Since you have already recovered, when will you start helping me cultivate my origin?"
Illusion God smiled lightly and did not answer Mingsi directly. Instead, he walked past Mingsi and walked towards the cave entrance, "Follow me. "
Mingsi did not understand, but he still followed obediently.
The two of them stood at the entrance of the cave. Illusion God pointed at the giant golden shadow below and said, "When you finish it off, I will help you. "
"Ah?" Mingsi was stunned. His mouth was wide open. He did not expect Illusion God to make such a request after he finished his seclusion. "Why is that?"
"Just do as I say. I won't harm you. " Illusion God didn't seem to want to explain.
Mingsi was not afraid, but he was still in a dilemma. He frowned and said, "But this Diamond Ape is very powerful. Right now, I can only fight it, but I can't kill it. "
"Can't do it?" Illusion God asked back, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule, "Its Spiritual Qi strength is at an ordinary one source, and it only has the strength of its physical body, so it's only close to two sources. You can't defeat it with this kind of strength? "
"Can I defeat it with this kind of strength?" Mingsi asked back. His best result in battle was to kill Gu Yan, who was at the One-Yuan level. He also thought that this was his limit. Challenging someone at a higher level was not an easy task.
Seeing this, Illusion God shook his head, as if he was a little disappointed. He said, "You only know how to use brute force in a battle. A simple exchange of moves. How powerful can such a battle be?"
Mingsi frowned, "Then what should I do?"
