Chapter 1729: Chapter 1729: The Huge White Ape

With the enchanted barrier was removed, nothing could stop Master Evil and Big Mouth anymore. Danger still lurked in the Swirl Forest. However, as long as they did not seek their own deaths, it would not be too dangerous for them.

“What else do you want?” Master Evil asked with a smile. Despite his current situation, arrogance was still in his tone.

“You should remember that you promised to help me accomplish one task,” said Zen with suspicious eyes.

Zen forced them to make the inner demon oath at that time because he wanted them to fight against the True Gods of the Murphy Universe. They were stronger than Blayd but weaker than the blue-clothed woman. In the end, they did not fight. However, the oath still applied.

“Of course I remember.” Master Evil let out a loud laugh. “If we meet in the divine land one day and you have any needs, I won't hesitate to help you. Tell me any desires you might have at that time.”

“Yeah. Don't worry about that. We won't forget.” Wayne hurriedly nodded his head as well. It seemed that they would both honor their oaths.

However, it wasn't their exact thought. At that moment, they could already leave the fairy palace. The divine land was so vast that it was very likely that they would never have the chance to see Zen again for the rest of their lives. They believed that they wouldn't have to keep their promises as long as Zen couldn't find them.

Zen shrugged his shoulders and laughed. With a callous look he said, “Since you are so reasonable, I can be relieved.”

Master Evil and Wayne didn't hesitate any longer. They strode forth and headed straight for the entrance of the fairy palace. At last, they were finally able to leave the place where they were imprisoned for countless years.

As he saw them leave, Zen's eyes widened. Bewilderment enveloped Zen as he stared at their backs. “Why don't they fly?”

Saul seemed to have already expected such a situation. He smiled slightly and answered diligently, “They can't fly here. If you don't believe me, why don't you try it?”

Flight was a fairly easy thing to do in the universe. Most creatures with sufficient cultivation could hover through the air.

After the warriors in the Lower World cultivated to the Illuminating Soul Realm, they would activate their life vitality to fuse with the wind and soar into the sky. Once they cultivated to higher levels, they would become even more powerful. They could travel through space, display the Grand Teleportation technique and take one step across millions of miles. Their mobility increased as their cultivation improved.

However, they couldn't do such things easily in the divine land.

After he heard Saul's words, Zen began to condense his chaotic energy. Intense focus accompanied his face as he willed himself to fly into the sky.

However, the moment he condensed the Wind Law, the Law Power instantly collapsed. It was as if an invisible force had confined him to the spot.

He had originally thought that he would float with the wind. Yet, he remained unmoved on the ground.

“Why?”

A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He extended his hand and waved it, intending to travel through space.

However, just like last time, both the Wind Law and the Space Law were extinguished in a flash. It was as if there was some mysterious power that had extinguished the Law Power that Zen cultivated. The expression on Zen's face was full of confusion.

“It's useless,” Saul said faintly with a regretful look. “The space in the divine land is very different from the space you know. In fact, the universes inhabited by secondary creatures, like yours, are just unreal spaces created by the Holy Beings. It's just like when people sleep, they tend to be omnipotent. As such, the universes are just products of the wills of Holy Beings. Only the divine land is the real world.” ʀ₳𝐍Ȫ𝖇Èᶊ

When the Holy Beings built the universes, their imaginations fueled the creation. They did not impose any restrictions on any of the laws and made everyone able to control the laws.

The universes that secondary creatures lived on were equivalent to the oceans, where all sorts of life forms could freely swim around. Each of them had the liberty to do whatever they wanted as long as they had power. Even a newly born fish could float in the water while asleep. However, at his current location, Zen was like a living being on land for the first time. When he tried to jump up, he found that he couldn't float as he did in the sea. Everything suddenly felt very restrictive.

Zen still had an unconvinced expression on his face. Additionally, he was still puzzled and his eyes reflected his perplexity. “But I've inherited the laws from the Holy Beings. Why don't they work here?”

Both of the Supreme Lords and the world lords in the Evolutionary Universe had a deep comprehension of the laws. They were powerful enough to will the laws with a simple thought.

Their comprehension came directly from the master of the Evolutionary Universe, Mike's comprehension of the laws. Since Mike could use the Law Power in the divine land, why couldn't the secondary creatures that obtained his inheritance use it?

“They don't all lose their effectiveness,” Saul said flatly. His face was calm with a hint of pity. “If you don't believe me, you can try condensing a flame.”

As he heard Saul's remark, Zen flicked his finger. Suddenly, a fireball shot out from his fingertip. It continuously rolled forward until it exploded about dozens of feet away.

Boom!

After the flame exploded, the intense fire turned Zen's face bright red. He stared dumbfoundedly at the fire and muttered, “Does that mean that only the Wind Law and the Space Law are suppressed?”

Normally, when martial artists flew through the air, they would use the Wind Law. Similarly, when they traveled through space, they would use the Space Law. Although these two kinds of Law Power weren't particularly mighty when used against an enemy, they were still indispensable to martial artists. Such mobility was necessary inside and outside of combat.

“And the Time Law. These three laws have been suppressed in the divine land. The use of them is limited by the rules stated on that stone slab,” Saul reminded with a callous look.

“Does this mean even the Holy Beings can't fly?” Zen raised another question. Curiosity began to invade his mind.

Saul shrugged his shoulders. “Not really. In reality, the top-rank True Gods can resist the suppressive power and fly. Master Evil and Wayne are both only at the peak of mid-rank True Gods' level, so they are unable to resist the suppressive power. Therefore, they can only run on the ground. However, as warriors grow stronger, their resistance to the limits of the stone slab also improves.”

“I see.” Zen nodded as he digested his newfound knowledge.

Just as he finished his words, a sharp, high-pitched sound could be heard from outside the fairy palace.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

As the high-pitched sound reverberated, the ground under Zen's feet also began to tremble.

Everything in the Swirl Forest was unfathomable. Moreover, the divine land was extremely stable. The thing that could cause such a commotion must be an extremely powerful existence. It could shake the earth beneath. Such power would be extremely mighty.

Soon, Zen's gaze pierced through the eaves of the fairy palace. Suddenly, a huge white ape entered his field of vision.

The ape, which was about two thousand feet tall, stood at the edge of the fairy palace's outer wall. As its slender and powerful arms dropped to the ground, it sized up Zen with its bright yellow eyes. It opened its bloody mouth slightly and howled ferociously.

As he was stared at by the ape, Zen felt as if his entire body was suddenly pressured by the weight of trillions of tons of power. The intense pressure made it even more difficult for him to move.

“Be careful. All the beasts in the Swirl Forest are very powerful. Normal True Gods are not even matches for them. Their raw power is extremely destructive. The ape is calling upon its own kind. It may attack at any time,” Saul said to Zen with a voice full of caution. “You can release Blackie now.”

The bubble enchanted barrier of the fairy palace covered quite a large area. The huge white ape had already reached the borders of the fairy palace. Within seconds, the ape would already be inside the territory of the fairy palace. Zen was left with no time to activate the enchanted barrier to keep it out.

The first time he stepped into the fairy palace in the Eastern Region, he encountered a huge white tiger at the edge of the barrier. Luckily, the bubble enchanted barrier was able to divide the space of the divine land into two worlds, the inside and the outside of the fairy palace. Otherwise, with Zen's strength at that time, he would have been already killed by the tiger's glare. Such was the power of the beasts in the Swirl Forest.

At his current predicament, Zen had already grown much stronger. However, he still felt an intense pressure when he faced the giant white ape.

His expression remained calm, but a single thought had already flashed through his mind. Since he had been in complete control of the fairy palace, a single thought of his could affect the fairy palace. All of its property and amenities were easily at his disposal.

Clang!

In the backyard of the fairy palace, the Fairy Chain that was tied to Blackie was quietly broken. Suddenly Blackie was freed!

The lion-sized Soul-shaking Mastiff charged out of its house. It then immediately turned into a black stream of light and rapidly shot onto the wall of the fairy palace. With great haste, it rushed over via the fairy palace's roof.

“Awoo!”

The huge white ape directed its ferocious eyes straight at Zen. However, as it sensed the arrival of the Soul-shaking Mastiff, the huge white ape suddenly waved its hands which were thousands of feet long. As its enormous hands penetrated through the wall of the fairy palace, the huge white ape tried to grab Zen.

“Back off!” Saul warned with a low voice.

Although Zen felt a great pressure, he naturally knew that it was better to retreat first when he saw the giant hairy hands that approached him. With extensive battle experience, his instincts had grown quite sharp.

Unable to fly in the air, he had no choice but to leap backward. His body rose up from the ground and drew an arc in the air as he jumped.

Just as he was about to fall into the pond in the fairy palace, the huge white ape acted quickly. The moment Zen jumped up, it changed the direction of its two giant hands and grabbed him in midair. An enormous fist tightly gripped Zen's body. Then, it tried to drag him out of the fairy palace.

The Swirl Forest was one of the forbidden lands for True Gods. In addition to huge white apes, there were also some other unimaginable and dangerous monsters. If Zen was taken to the forest, he would not be able to protect himself with his current strength.

However, before the huge white ape could retract its hand, a black shadow jumped up from the roof of the weapon refining workshop. The Soul-shaking Mastiff named Blackie let out a series of roars. Intense pressure accompanied each of his barks.

Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

The power contained in the roars could make many creatures feel fear, and the huge white ape was no exception. Its giant hand that held Zen trembled involuntarily. Terror seemed to devour the huge white ape's feral mind.

Immediately, the Soul-shaking Mastiff had already bit onto the arm of the giant white ape.
