The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 616 - 264: Dreadclaw Ape Demon King (Extra Update!) _3

"Don’t worry. Since I’ve made the choice, I will bear the corresponding price."

Ye Hanjun shook his head, his thoughts returning completely calm.

If he had only one authority and no pressure to advance, the Fly Moon would undeniably be the best choice.

But in this world, there’s never been an "if"...

Immersed in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter:

"What a bustling scene, what winds have roused our ’Liangzai’?"

With a thud, an unusually burly man descended from the sky.

As his feet hit the ground, the earth shook and both he and the fox nearly fell.

"Ape King!"

The Changing Demon Fox kneeled on one knee, looking extremely respectful.

Ye Hanjun had not yet grasped the situation, but this person was definitely not human, and this body was certainly not his own.

"Talent Identification!"

——

[Race Name]: Dreadclaw Ape Demon King

[Chaos Seal]: ’Prison’

[Main Study]: ???

[Level]: Shining World Fetus·Perfection

[Chaos Spirit Pattern]: ???

[Core Personality]: ???

[Current State]: ???

[Contractual Relationship]: Stable

——

"Dreadclaw Ape Demon King? Shining World Perfection?"

Ye Hanjun felt a chill down his spine.

He could not feel the intimidating power that a perfected Shining World should have. Could this Demon King of Great Completion entirely conceal his demonic aura?

"Your Highness, this is the manager I mentioned earlier."

The Changing Demon Fox maintained its kneeling position and took the initiative to introduce.

"Nice to meet you."

Ye Hanjun made a respectful salute without slack.

"Hmph! Just seeing you gets on my nerves!"

Fly Moon buzzed and flapped its wings, immediately increasing their distance, not wanting to get close to the Dreadclaw Ape Demon King at all.

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King glanced at it and just laughed, choosing to ignore it for now.

Instead, Ape King turned to Ye Hanjun, looking at him with interest and kindly smiled:

"This young friend, you must be the most special one among the newborns of the Ye Clan in the last twenty or so years, right?"

"Although I have been living in the Demon Cave and often need to sleep, it’s hard not to hear about your story."

"The Ape King is amused."

Ye Hanjun responded politely, unsure of what this person was intending.

"My master doesn’t have much time left, if it were two or three thousand years earlier, he would have wished to meet you."

"Now... let me do it for him."

"I already know about your situation. Even the Fly Moon is attracted to you, which is enough to reflect your uniqueness."

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King smiled, and magically produced ten fruits and a small verdant tree:

"Fruits of Despair, Youth Tree, a fair trade, honesty to all."

"Thank you, Ape King."

Ye Hanjun blinked, hesitated slightly, and reached out to take the two items.

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King laughed loudly, his laughter gradually turning into a sigh:

"Such a promising Son of Heaven has to bear the consequences of changing his fate, I’m worried for you."

"Foxie, what do you think about giving him a chance to play ’Ancient Call’?"

"Ape King?"

The Changing Demon Fox raised her head, her expression changing slightly:

"Are you joking, or are you really asking me?"

"Do I look like I’m joking?"

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King shrugged, his lazy movements contract with the sharp light in his eyes:

"This game is extremely dangerous. Once it starts, outsiders cannot offer protection."

"After two young kings of the Ye Clan perished here, that palace has been sealed and deserted for several thousand years."

"Ye Hanjun, since you can cause a rampage among the demons, even the Fly Moon willingly recognizes you, and you are so eager for the rare Thunder Demons, this might be the most suitable game for you. Would you like to risk your life and give it a try?"

"Can the Ape King elaborate?"

Ye Hanjun didn’t rush to take a stance, their eyes met in mid-air.

"This is a secret of the Demon Cave. Don’t talk about it with your clanmates when you leave here."

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King scratched his thick chin hair, revealing a wicked smile on his face:

"Ever since my master ascended to the 9th level, some elders of the Ye Clan gifted him inheritance before their downfall."

"Strictly speaking, these are all part of the Ye Clan’s heritage."

"The most precious batch are called ’Amber Secret Crystals’, there are sixteen of them."

"You may have heard of this peculiar non-metallic metal-like material... that’s right, with numerous ritualistic methods, every single Amber Secret Crystal seals a demon."

"These demons are not of the New Era, but from the Near Ancient Era, from powerful demon clans, otherwise such precious sealing stones wouldn’t be used on them."

"Because of the long passage of time, plus the peculiarity of the Amber Secret Crystals, it’s hard for us to determine what kind of demon is sealed inside."

"But a rough estimate suggests that at least five of the sixteen crystals seal an Extinction Degree Fetus."

"One of them is definitely of the Thunder Attribute, the overly violent Thunder Element has corroded the seal, even without external interference, it will emerge into the world in a hundred or two hundred years."

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King dropped his gentle demeanor, showing the demonic grin, both tempting and teasing:

"Young Lord, how do you feel about this?"

"If you can awaken it early and suppress it with your own power, you can get the Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits you desire."

"Old thing, why have I never heard you mention that the Demon Cave has such secrets?"

The greatly shocked Fly Moon flew over buzzing, buzzing and shouting at the Dreadclaw Ape Demon King:

"I’ve always thought that I was the strongest of the Extinction Rank in the Demon Cave!"

"So you guys have been keeping something from me? No... no no no, are there still many things that you’re hiding? Speak truthfully! Don’t lie to me!"

"Fly Moon, you’re worrying too much."

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King yawned and waved his hand, ignoring the Plague Fog flying in his face:

"Although they’re demons left over from the Near Ancient Era, they might not necessarily be stronger than you."

"But-Thunder Attribute really counters you."

"This sealed Thunder Demon, if it once carved a bloody path out of the Corpse Mountain, might be able to beat you even now."
