You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 381 Trap

There was only a city and a defensive array, but there was no one inside.

"This ape demon is quite interesting. I didn't expect him to possess the bloodline of an ancient divine ape. No wonder he was able to become the most powerful demon king in the inner layer of the Fengyuan Mountains..."

Meng Tian watched this scene with a hint of interest in his eyes and spoke.

The ancient divine apes were a race that dominated the ancient times. At their peak, they could even rival the dragon race. However, the ancient divine apes have now become extinct, and their former glory is gone. Only some descendants with the bloodline of the divine apes still live on the continent.

This ape king is clearly a possessor of divine ape bloodline, and at a considerable concentration.

"Although his divine ape bloodline is powerful, his strength is insufficient to unleash its full potential. He merely relies on instinct to activate his bloodline power, using it crudely and posing no threat whatsoever..."

Han Xin also spoke up.

The other two nodded in agreement. If this ape demon could fully activate the divine ape bloodline within it, it might pose a threat to them.

However, at present, the other party is clearly unable to fully unleash its potential, and is only applying it superficially.

"Roar~~"

The phantom of the divine ape behind the Ape King slammed its fist into the defensive array, causing ripples to spread across the array.

The power of this attack has reached the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

If it were an ordinary defensive formation, it would probably have been breached by now. However, the defensive formation set up here is clearly not ordinary; it is a watered-down version of the Xuanwu Protector Formation.

Seeing that its first attack had failed to break through the great formation, the Ape King launched another attack.

This time, the defensive array developed some cracks, as if it were about to break apart.

Seeing this, the Ape King was overjoyed. It was finally about to shatter; if it didn't, he would lose all face.

He then intensified his attacks, and finally, through his relentless assault, the defensive formation broke.

The defensive array shattered like glass, turning into starlight that dissipated into the world.

"My men, the defensive formation has been breached! Kill them all! Leave no human alive in the city..."

The Ape King shouted loudly, then his body returned to its original size. His eyes were full of exhaustion, clearly indicating that the previous exertion had taken a toll on him; activating the bloodline did not come without a price.

"Roar~~"

Upon hearing his words, countless demonic beasts immediately rushed forward, only to be dumbfounded when they entered the city.

Because this is a completely deserted city!

The anticipated carnage did not occur; apart from these newly arrived demonic beasts, there were no other living beings in the entire city.

Upon learning this news, the Ape King and the other demon kings were all furious.

This means they went to great lengths to capture a city that was completely undefended.

At that moment, the Ape King felt like a fool, being completely played.

"Damn it! That cowardly human actually ran away, making me waste so much effort..."

The Ape King was furiously destroying everything in the city. An empty city had held them off for so long; what would happen if they encountered a large human army?

"Send the order: the army will proceed at full speed to the human settlements, ignoring any cities it passes through..."

The Ape King gave the order in a cold voice.

In his view, the human race must have retreated their defenses and were preparing for a major battle, which is why they abandoned the city.

Then I can just lead my army directly to the human race's main camp. In that case, the human race will have no choice but to fight me. With their strength, how could they possibly stop the countless demon beast armies led by these demon kings?

Buzz~~

Just as these demonic beasts were about to carry out the Ape King's order and head out of the city to Fengyuan Fortress, the city suddenly trembled.

"what happened?"

A bad feeling arose in the ape king's heart, and he looked up.

Suddenly, another large formation appeared where the original defensive formation had been.

Moreover, he felt a strong sense of threat from this great formation.

"Another formation?"

The Ape King was certain that the bad feeling he had just had came from this great formation.

However, he had no understanding of formations at all, so he couldn't tell the difference between this great formation and the previous defensive formation.

"All troops, listen to my command! Charge out immediately..."

The Ape King gave the order directly.

The demon kings immediately led their respective forces and rushed out of the city.

However, when they reached the edge of the formation, they discovered that they couldn't get out at all.

In other words, they are trapped inside this formation.

In an instant, the demons panicked.

"King Ape, please take action and break this great formation..."

"Yes! Ape King, only you can break this great formation now..."

All the demon kings came to the ape king's side, hoping that the ape king would break the formation.

The Ape King's expression darkened as he overheard their conversation.

He wanted to make a move too!

However, having just activated the power of my bloodline, I cannot activate it again now.

If it were forcibly activated, it would likely shake his foundation, causing serious injury at best and death at worst.

But this was his secret, and obviously he couldn't tell these demon kings.

"If we attack together, I refuse to believe that this formation can withstand the combined attack of so many of us..."

Finally, the Ape King spoke in a deep voice.

Although the demon kings were puzzled, they still obediently did as instructed.

Countless demons attacked together, unleashing countless strikes upon the formation.

Countless ripples appeared on the array, but they were of no use at all.

Panic permeated the demon race, a fear born of facing the unknown.

Anyone trapped inside such a formation would find it difficult to remain calm.

Snap～～

Just then, a bolt of lightning appeared above the formation and struck the group of demonic beasts.

"Ah~~"

"Roar~~"

Instantly, all the monsters in that area died.

"This is bad, this formation has offensive capabilities..."

The Ape King's expression changed, and he immediately spoke up.

However, he realized it too late.

Because at this moment, the formation was completely covered by a dense barrage of attacks, including lightning, heavenly fire, and gales, dozens of different kinds of attacks falling downwards in a massive wave.

The ape king and other demon kings hurriedly erected defenses, attempting to block the descending attack, but to no avail.

Although they all possessed cultivation levels above the Mahayana stage, the attacks falling from the sky were simply too numerous. The areas they could defend against were ultimately limited to a small region, leaving most of the demon race exposed.

Instantly, the city was filled with the painful roars of the demon race.

"Where did the Tiger King go?"

Just then, the Ape King suddenly realized that the Tiger King, who had been following him all along, had disappeared without a trace, and even his entire clan had vanished without his noticing.

"Your Majesty, our children have suffered heavy casualties! Please think of a solution!"

A monkey demon approached the Ape King and spoke anxiously.

Upon hearing the monkey demon's words, the Ape King immediately forgot about the Tiger King's matter and hurriedly said, "Quickly gather your children to my side, and I will provide you with protection..."

"Here!"

The monkey demon was overjoyed and hurriedly went to gather the monkeys.
