There is a beast in the bright morning.

After learning from Di Ting that the fire-breathing dragon's destination was the Rainbow Cloud Mountains, or even the Deer Man Shop, Hao Chen decided to wait and see.

What Hao Chen couldn't understand was how this fire-breathing dragon came to the world of beasts, and how it became a ferocious beast suppressed by the underworld.

In Hao Chen's understanding, Charizard's strength might be considered decent in the Pokémon world, but his side has a whole bunch of legendary Pokémon and gods, so how could Charizard possibly be feared?

Although some mythical beasts are not very powerful, they have good symbolic meanings, such as Dang Kang and Chu Gou.

However, most of the mythical beasts are quite powerful in combat. Beasts like Zhanhu, Tianlu, and Taotie have earned their strength through battle.

"Perhaps only by actually seeing Charizard can we figure out the reason," Hao Chen thought to himself.

At the same time, because he had used a small portion of the power of the royal weapon, the Holy Ape King was worried that his people would notice, so he did not choose to engage the Fire Dragon in a prolonged battle, but instead made a strategic retreat.

However, once the Holy Ape King had run far away, he came to his senses and immediately realized that he had made a mountain out of a molehill. Putting aside the fact that this was no longer the Dark Universe, although the aura of the Imperial Weapon was terrifying, the Holy Ape King did not think it would spread to the Dark Universe.

Besides, even if his people knew he was here with the imperial soldiers, they might not be able to catch up. He himself had relied on the power of the imperial soldiers to forcibly open the passage between the two worlds and sneak over.

Now, without imperial soldiers to open the passage between the two worlds, the clan cannot even cross over.

Secondly, even if they borrowed royal weapons from other royal families to open the passage between the two worlds, the Holy Ape Clan did not have any suitable members to come here. The Holy Ape Clan was already small in number, and there were not many who were stronger than the Holy Ape King, not to mention that the Holy Ape King was currently in possession of royal weapons.

After figuring this out, the Holy Ape King became somewhat annoyed: "Damn it, how could I, the Holy Ape King, be frightened by a mere reptile? No, I must get my revenge."

So the Holy Ape King turned around and flew angrily back the way he came, determined to find that fire-breathing dragon and devour it alive.

However, before the Holy Ape King even encountered the Fire-Breathing Dragon, he first saw Hao Chen lying in wait. When the Holy Ape King first saw Hao Chen's appearance, his heart almost stopped in fright.

Saint Ape King thought he had run into Hao Ri, the guy who had slapped him away before: "Damn, how come that guy who seems to be at the Emperor Realm is here too? No, I have to leave before he finds me."

However, after he looked at it carefully, he found that the beast in front of him was not Hao Ri, who had injured him before. Although it looked very similar, the color of the beast did not match. The one before was golden, while the one in front of him was blackish.

"Even if they're not the same one, they look so alike, they must be related. I'll capture them and interrogate them myself," the Holy Ape King thought to himself.

When the Holy Ape King arrived, Hao Chen also sensed its aura, but he didn't know that the newcomer was the Holy Ape King and thought it was a fire-breathing dragon.

After sensing the aura of the Holy Ape King, Hao Chen frowned and wondered to himself, "Is this aura really emitted by a fire-breathing dragon? Although the aura is immense, it gives me a dark and cold feeling."

Shaking his head, Hao Chen felt that he must have made a mistake; this could not possibly be the aura of a Charizard!

Sure enough, the next moment, a black monkey appeared above Hao Chen and, without saying a word, punched him.

Fortunately, Hao Chen was alert. The moment the Holy Ape King made his move, his figure shifted and then, as if by teleportation, he instantly moved to the side, directly avoiding the Holy Ape King's fist.

The Holy Ape King's fist, having lost its target, struck the spot where Hao Chen had been standing, instantly creating a crater in the ground.

Looking at Hao Chen in the distance, the Holy Ape King coldly said, "Pretty fast, huh? You actually managed to evade my attack."

Hao Chen stared intently at the Holy Ape King, scrutinizing him from head to toe. Seeing the Holy Ape King's all-black appearance, Hao Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

Thinking of what Walnut and Fuzai had gone through, he sternly asked, "Monkey, I'm asking you, did you catch a kitten with two tails and a white fox with squinty eyes a while ago?"

Hearing Hao Chen's words, the Holy Ape King curled his lip in disdain and said, "What an impolite fellow. I am the Holy Ape King of the Holy Ape Clan, a powerful expert at the Third Heaven Saint Realm. And shouldn't you state your name before asking someone?"

However, the Holy Ape King immediately added, "So what if I caught it? It was just that the kitten was lucky to be rescued; otherwise, it would have been my meal long ago."

When Hao Chen heard the Holy Ape King admit that he was the one who did it, he was also furious. You know, Walnut had nightmares for several days after that. As Walnut's older brother, how could he not avenge his little brother!

Hao Chen soared into the air, but instead of directly engaging the Holy Ape King, he flew towards the distance. Although he wanted to avenge Walnut, this place was too close to the Deer Man Shop, and he did not want the Deer Man Shop to be ravaged because of his battle with the Holy Ape King.

"You damned monkey, come and try if you dare, I'll kill you today."

Hearing Hao Chen's words about killing him, the Holy Ape King was furious and laughed, "Who do you think you are? You're just a third-level cultivator like me, and judging from your aura, you haven't even reached the peak of the third level!"

"You try and you'll see if I can kill you!" Hao Chen replied, his expression completely calm.

The Holy Ape King fell silent, and took a step forward, following Hao Chen's footsteps towards Nanshan.

The Holy Ape King was unaware that Hao Chen had chosen this place as the battlefield because it was special, containing many extradimensional caves, and possibly even the remains of beings at the Great Emperor level.

If things become unmanageable, Hao Chen will choose to use the unique features of Nanshan Mountain to trap and kill the Holy Ape King.

The Holy Ape King was incredibly fast, catching up in the blink of an eye. He raised his hand and threw a punch at Hao Chen. In order to kill him with one blow, the Holy Ape King even drew upon a trace of the ultimate aura from the imperial weapon to enhance his fist.

The terrifying fist intent surged forth, carrying unimaginable overwhelming power, aiming to forcefully suppress and kill Hao Chen.

"Humph."

Hao Chen snorted coldly, and a black brick flew out from between his eyebrows, instantly transforming into a majestic black divine mountain.

As soon as the sacred mountain appeared, it exuded a terrifying pressure, which surprised the Holy Ape King.

Although Hao Chen's weapon was a brick, which seemed quite strange, it must have been something extraordinary since it could exude such an aura. However, even with his knowledge as the Holy Ape King, he couldn't recognize the material used to forge Hao Chen's weapon.

However, the Holy Ape King did not hesitate and raised his fist to strike the sacred mountain. As a member of the Holy Ape clan, although he had transformed into darkness, he still had the warlike bloodline of the Holy Ape clan flowing in his veins.

"boom!"

The mere collision caused swathes of void to shatter, and Hao Chen's divine mountain was covered in cracks, with a deep fist imprint on it, almost causing the divine mountain to collapse.

Hao Chen reluctantly put away his weapon, and the divine mountain turned back into a brick, but it was covered with cracks and had a dent in the middle.

At this moment, the Holy Ape King also withdrew his fist and put his trembling hand behind his back.

What the Holy Ape King didn't notice was that he had previously channeled the ultimate aura from the imperial weapon into his fist. However, when it collided with the black brick, although he managed to crack the brick with the ultimate aura, the ultimate aura was quietly absorbed by the black brick.

Although the Holy Ape King could not know the exact material of Hao Chen's weapon, its ability to withstand the trace of extreme aura he had summoned meant that its hardness was comparable to the immortal or divine materials used to forge extreme weapons.

Having confirmed this, the Holy Ape King became greedy. He looked intently at the black brick in Hao Chen's hand and said, "Boy, hand over your weapon to me, and I will spare your life."

Hao Chen was also shocked. He never expected that his seemingly invincible brick would almost be broken.

However, Hao Chen hadn't expected that the other party would take a liking to his weapon.

In fact, Hao Chen himself didn't know how the black brick appeared. After Hao Chen used the brick to knock out Taotie, he found the brick quite handy. The next day, a black brick inexplicably appeared inside his body.

What Hao Chen didn't know was that his brick was forged from Chaos Stone, which could nurture Chaos Immortal Material, and was personally crafted for him by Dark Night and placed inside his body.

Just then, seeing that Hao Chen had no intention of handing over his weapon, the Holy Ape King was about to make a move when a thick, crimson-gold flame suddenly shot over.

"You damn monkey, how dare you bully my big brother! Watch out for my flamethrower, it'll burn you to death!"

An orange dragon flew over from afar; it was Hao Chen's target, the fire-breathing dragon, and it opened its mouth to spew a flame at the Holy Ape King.

Hao Chen was still a little confused as to why the Charizard would call him "big brother" when he saw something even more surprising.

A golden light appeared on Charizard's right claw, and as Hao Chen was extremely surprised, it transformed into a sword that was sheathed on Charizard's right claw.

This wouldn't be a big deal; it's just a Pokémon using a weapon. Zacian and Zamazenta both use weapons, but Charizard's sword has the shape of WarGreymon's head on its hilt.

This was nothing compared to what Hao Chen noticed after the sword appeared. He discovered that the sword held by the fire-breathing dragon's claws even had the code "All Delete" engraved on its blade in the Digital World's system language.

As for why Hao Chen could understand it, Hao Chen said he didn't know either, but he had a gut feeling that this change in the fire-breathing was related to him.

To this, Hao Chen could only say: "Is this even Pokémon anymore? Shouldn't it be called Digital Pokémon?"
