Chapter 767: Unexpected Development

No matter how strong the Mutated Giant Ape was, it was still a beast. It couldn’t possibly be stronger than Yua Shan.

Regardless of whether he would be successful or not, he had to give it a try.

Su Ze immediately took action, charging toward the Mutated Giant Ape alongside the Dark Blood Giant Beast.

Yua Shan, naturally, wouldn’t just stand by and watch. He flew over to intercept them.

Su Ze charged at Yua Shan, activated his “Sponge Body” skill, and entangled him.

Yua Shan once again manifested a long staff and smashed it against Su Ze again and again, but the blows were all absorbed by Su Ze’s “Sponge Body.”

At this moment, Su Ze’s entire body was covered in a metallic sheen, making him almost indestructible, but he was still beaten out of shape by one of Yua Shan’s strikes.

However, he didn’t switch to his liquid form to resist the physical attacks. Instead, he simply endured them.

He was accumulating energy!

“Sponge Body” could also convert the physical attacks he withstood into stored energy.

Meanwhile, the Dark Blood Giant Beast and the Mutated Giant Ape were trading blows, but overall, the Dark Blood Giant Beast was at a disadvantage.

The Mutated Giant Ape’s strengths and weaknesses were obvious at a glance. Its physical body was peerlessly strong, indestructible, and its strength was unmatched, but it didn’t seem to have any powerful skills.

It was like a weaker version of the Dou Race. One could say that this Mutated Giant Ape had already surpassed the Dou Race in terms of physical strength, but the Dou Race could also master various powerful skills, which the ape could not.

But just by relying on this unparalleled physical body, it could suppress the Dark Blood Giant Beast. If it could also master other powerful skills, it would be truly heaven-defying. It would probably even break the rules and, as a mere beast, defeat Intelligent Races of the same rank.

Su Ze glanced at the state of that battle and relaxed, knowing the Dark Blood Giant Beast could hold on for a while longer and wouldn’t be defeated too quickly.

After taking a beating from Yua Shan, he had finally accumulated a full charge of energy for his “Sponge Body.”

Su Ze directly activated his “Forbidden Demon Domain,” but he restricted its range to envelop only himself and Yua Shan.

As soon as the “Forbidden Demon Domain” activated, the long staff in Yua Shan’s hands suddenly shattered. It was a weapon manifested from energy and could not be used within the domain.

With this, Su Ze was also freed from Yua Shan’s stormy onslaught of attacks.

Yua Shan frowned, and the Long Sword suddenly manifested in his hand once more.

It too was a weapon manifested from energy, yet this Long Sword actually broke through the Forbidden Demon Domain’s suppression and successfully took form.

Then, Yua Shan swung the Long Sword through the empty air, and Su Ze’s Forbidden Demon Domain directly shattered.

Su Ze’s pupils contracted. Feeling his domain collapse, he finally understood the effect of Yua Shan’s Long Sword.

‘That Long Sword doesn’t just break domains; it severs the very rules!’

‘A sword that can slice through rules!’

After shattering the Forbidden Demon Domain, Yua Shan put away the Long Sword, and two large sabers appeared in his hands.

He wielded these two sabers with ferocious power, shattering everything they touched, whether matter or energy.

Su Ze was accidentally grazed by one, and even his metallized body cracked.

He had no choice but to switch to his liquid form to prevent Yua Shan’s twin blades from inflicting more damage.

Su Ze had originally planned to shake off Yua Shan and unleash all his accumulated energy on the Mutated Giant Ape at once, but Yua Shan stuck to him like a festering sore, pressing him relentlessly and giving no ground.

So, he stopped trying to run. He expanded his body, completely filling the space that had been sealed off by Mr. Chang!

In his liquid form, he filled the entire area, as if flooding it with water.

The Mutated Giant Ape, the Dark Blood Giant Beast, and Yua Shan were all enveloped within his body.

Only the two spaceships, protected by their Energy Shields, remained isolated at a distance from him.

Su Ze immediately used a spatial item to store away the Dark Blood Giant Beast, then began his indiscriminate attack!

He chose not to release all his internal energy at once, instead using other offensive methods to expend it.

Electric currents filled the entire space. The trampling effect from “Rhino Charge” was also activated, Sleep Poison was released, and the “Disintegrate” and “Amnesia” effects from his “Self-Control” skill were constantly taking effect.

None of these attacks alone could truly threaten the ape or Yua Shan, but their strength lay in being constant and unceasing!

It was like death by a thousand cuts; even if each scrape was minor, the constant grating was agonizing.

With all these effects active at once, Su Ze’s own energy consumption was naturally not small.

But of course, Yua Shan and the giant ape wouldn’t just take the hits without fighting back. They desperately attacked Su Ze’s liquid body, but this was tantamount to recharging him, perfectly replenishing his own energy consumption.

It was as if every attack they launched was being turned right back around and used against them.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be hard to counter; they would just need to break out of Su Ze’s body.

But as luck would have it, they were the ones who had sealed this space, and Su Ze’s body now filled it completely, leaving them with nowhere to run.

They had spun a cocoon only to trap themselves.

Even if they managed to inflict some damage on Su Ze, it would be repaired instantly.

After all, the energy accumulated by “Sponge Body” could be used for all his own expenditures, including healing.

The two of them were like weights drowning in water, struggling within Su Ze’s body, yet too tough and thick-skinned to die.

They couldn’t get out, and Su Ze couldn’t do anything to them for the time being. He couldn’t kill them.

And so, the two sides had unexpectedly fallen into a stalemate.

To be honest, Su Ze hadn’t expected the situation to develop this way either; it had exceeded his predictions.

When he filled the entire space with his body, he hadn’t thought it would have such an effect. Initially, he had only intended to detonate his internal energy to see if he could injure Yua Shan and the giant ape.

But after actually trying it, he realized that wearing them down like this seemed to be the better choice.

‘If I had unleashed a single wave of energy, my “Sponge Body” skill would have gone on cooldown, and there’s no way I could have lasted so long under the constant attacks of a Sun God and a ninth-order beast. Besides, I don’t think a single energy blast would have been enough to eliminate either Yua Shan or the giant ape. These two are tough as nails and hard to kill.’

Yua Shan also hadn’t expected this situation to arise. ‘How long is this stalemate going to last?’

‘I refuse to believe this kid can hold out for long!’

Yua Shan gritted his teeth. ‘I’m a Sun God! Don’t tell me I’ll lose a battle of attrition to a mere Moon God!’

But he didn’t know that Su Ze could convert their attacks into energy to replenish his own.
