Chapter 1041 - 1040: Are You Qualified for This?

Amidst the splattering of blood across the sky, under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the Fiery Flame Fire Ape killed another person.

In that instant.

Everyone in the valley just felt a chill rise in their hearts.

The Fire Ape ripped the top-level Earth Immortal apart as if it were a mere chick, threw it into its mouth, and chewed it up. As it grinned at the retreating crowd around it, it suddenly sensed a crisis approaching, and turned coldly to see Elder Yun, looking like a bundle of withered sticks, approaching.

In the eyes of others, he was just a withered old man, but to it, he seemed like a fierce beast, enough to make every hair on its body stand on end!

"Roar!"

It casually grabbed a massive tree dozens of feet high beside it, uprooted it with ferocity, and hurled it towards Elder Yun.

"Bang!"

But, unexpectedly, the tree shattered as if hitting an invisible barrier before reaching him, exploding into countless flying wood fragments.

Thud!

At that moment, the Fiery Flame Fire Ape slammed down heavily on all fours. The ground beneath it suddenly burst apart, countless cracks spread wildly. Using this power, it leaped and churned up a fiery wave hundreds of feet long in the valley.

The scattered wood chips were swept away, turned to ash.

Like a mighty flood pouring from a breached fiery sea, its power seemed to want to burn everything in the valley to ashes!

"Not good!"

In an instant, everyone in the valley lost their color in fright.

This overwhelming force, likely no one present could withstand it.

"Is this the true power of the Fiery Flame Fire Ape?"

Those top-level Earth Immortals who had fought it earlier couldn't help but feel a heavy heart seeing this scene. If it had unleashed such ferocity before, escaping alive would have been difficult.

"Can it be blocked?"

Everyone hurriedly looked over.

Elder Yun was standing there unexpectedly, not dodging nor hiding. As the Fiery Flame Fire Ape approached, he slowly extended his right hand, made a fist, and struck toward it.

This punch seemed light and effortless, like the powerless resistance of a decrepit old man.

But then there was a 'crack'.

The Fiery Flame Fire Ape screamed miserably, and when the fists collided, its body shuddered, and it was sent flying back faster than it had come.

Its robust, rock-like right arm was peculiarly bent, clearly broken from that punch!

However.

Elder Yun had not the slightest intention of holding back. Instead, with a flash of his body, he appeared directly above the Fiery Flame Fire Ape.

"Roar!"

The Fiery Flame Fire Ape let out an angry roar, its entire body surged with demonic energy erupting like a volcano, attempting to soar into the sky. But Elder Yun gently landed a kick!

This kick gently stomped down.

The erupting demonic energy and flames exploded and vanished instantly. In the unbelievable eyes of the crowd, this kick was like thunder, directly stepping on the Fiery Flame Fire Ape's chest.

"Boom!"

Truly like a meteor crashing to the ground.

The entire valley violently shuddered, the ground suddenly sunk, revealing a terrifying footprint several hundred feet deep. Countless fissures spread out in all directions.

And the Fiery Flame Fire Ape was completely pulverized under this step.

One punch, one kick.

The Fiery Flame Fire Ape met its demise!

Upon seeing this scene, everyone in the valley couldn't help but feel their scalp tingle. Moreover, given the old man's posture, it was evident he hadn't used his full strength.

"Such strong methods, who is this old man?"

"You don't even recognize him? He is Elder Yun from Cyan Cloud Island! Standing beside him is Zou Tianchen, the eldest son of Cyan Cloud Island."

"So it's him!"

Everyone looked at the old man with a frightful glance, even more fearful than when facing the Fiery Flame Fire Ape.

However.

Elder Yun paid no heed to what others thought, quietly withdrawing to the side. Yet, Zou Tianchen stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the half-person tall sapling in the center of the valley. More precisely, at the flaming red fruit on the sapling.

"Flame Fruit!"

Zou Tianchen revealed a slight smile and nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping from side to side, he coldly asked, "This Flame Fruit is mine, does anyone have any objections?"

No one spoke, but there was a hint of resentment on everyone's face.

A muscular top-level Earth Immortal at the front stepped forward and shouted:

"Why?"

The Third Island Master of Xingyue Island, Gong Hongjun.

In recent years, Star Gathering Scattered Island has rapidly risen as one of the new forces, and Gong Hongjun, as the Third Island Master, holds an extraordinary status.

Before his words fell, Elder Yun raised a hand.

"Boom!"

A vast force swept out without warning, creating a wave of air several meters thick on the ground. Gong Hongjun hadn't reacted yet before his chest was pierced by this palm, and he was sent flying, dead before hitting the ground.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Upon witnessing this, the crowd was silent as if drenched in cold water, all anger and reluctance vanishing in an instant.

Even a top-level Earth Immortal couldn't withstand a palm from a distance, who could stand against him?

"Does anyone else have any objections?"

Zou Tianchen asked with his hands behind his back.

This time, although there were many top-level Earth Immortals present, none spoke up.

Zou Tianchen descended like a shark into a small pond. If he wanted that Red Flame Fruit, who would dare to fight for it? Upon hearing his words, everyone trembled and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

A man standing at the forefront said bitterly:

"We have no objections!"

The Third Island Master of Dark Island, Cai Kun.

Top-level Earth Immortal.

Among those present, after Gong Hongjun fell, he held the highest status.

"Since there are no objections, hurry and leave!"

Zou Tianchen snorted coldly, his gaze like a Divine Dragon contemplating ants on the ground. Everyone witnessing this felt a surge of shame and anger, yet dared not express it.

No matter how much resentment they harbored inside, before the absolute might of Zou Tianchen and Elder Yun, they didn't dare have any differing opinions.

They reluctantly gazed at the Flame Fruit, their hearts full of regret.

Especially Cai Kun.

His heart was full of bitterness; he had cultivated painstakingly for hundreds of years only to be subjugated by a mere youngster. But he knew clearly, the being before him was not someone he could afford to provoke!

As the crowd sighed or filled with regret.

And as Zou Tianchen's smile widened, feeling the Flame Fruit was now within his grasp, suddenly a cold voice came from the side:

"Leave?"

"Do you have the right to make others leave?"

The crowd was stunned and quickly looked over.

They saw.

A young man in a long robe with wide sleeves stood there with his hands behind his back, ignoring the shocked gazes around him, standing still and solemn as a mountain! Su Moran, Luo Lin'an, and Bai Ji stood cold-faced on the side!
