A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

"Crack!"

To the astonishment of the Yaksha, Yunhua grabbed his steel fork with one hand, then gave it a powerful shake, breaking it into four pieces. He then raised his hand and pointed with his sword finger, unleashing a terrifying sword light.

"puff!"

The yaksha was cleaved in two, and its body then transformed back into water, merging into the ocean below.

Before he could utter a single last word, the monster was instantly killed by Yunhua.

Yunhua glanced at him briefly, then ignored him and continued forward.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Haha, interesting, very interesting!"

"You lost one of my clones before I could even utter a single word!"

"This person's divine body and swordsmanship are both incredibly strong! Hahaha, this kind of opponent is much more interesting! Kill! Kill!"

Countless shrieks came from all directions, echoing across the entire ocean. In the blink of an eye, more than five hundred yaksha-like monsters surrounded them.

However, due to the language barrier, Yunhua couldn't understand what the monster was saying. He only knew that the first trial of the Moonlit Pool world had arrived!

"Kill!" Yun Hua didn't draw any weapon, but simply pointed with his sword finger, and then the sword energy surged and charged directly into the middle of this group of Yakshas.

"Boom!!"

Like a tiger among sheep, Yunhua killed one yaksha with a single sword strike. No yaksha was a match for Yunhua, and he moved freely among them.

However, these Yakshas were strange. After Yunhua's sword fingers cut through their bodies, they turned into water and reformed. However, it was obvious that after reforming, their strength was much weaker.

"They are somewhat similar to the puppet soldiers I encountered when I first entered the Star-Picking Palace. They must be something more advanced." Yun Hua pondered the origins of these monsters while fighting.

"You deserve to die!!" An angry roar came from the group of yakshas.

In an instant, all the Yakshas retreated, floating in mid-air and glaring angrily at Yunhua. Then they began to merge, and the number of Yakshas in mid-air gradually decreased.

As they merged, the colors of these yakshas changed. They were initially emerald green, then turned dark green, then black, and finally dark gold. When all the yakshas had merged, they transformed into a giant golden yaksha that was ten zhang tall.

This golden yaksha's power rivals that of a true god.

"To be able to send my true self into battle, you are truly exceptional; over the years, more than a thousand gods have died before even seeing me; and the number of gods who have died at my hands is even greater than two thousand!" The golden yaksha flipped his hand, and another steel fork appeared. "To die at my hands is an honor for you."

"You bunch of gods, you all want the treasures left behind by our master? It won't be that easy!"

"Give me your life if you want the treasure!" the golden yaksha roared, his speed exploding as he swung his steel fork and charged forward.

"You're asking for death!" Yun Hua snorted coldly and attacked as well, swinging his fist to meet the steel fork head-on.

"Boom!!"

This attack caused the sky to collapse and the earth to split apart, with giant waves surging into the sky, resulting in an unimaginable catastrophe in the entire sea area.

This was the first time Yunhua had pushed the Star-Picking Hand to such a degree. This punch seemed to contain the extremely terrifying power of the sun, moon, and stars, crashing down like a falling star.

"puff!!"

In the blink of an eye, the golden yaksha was sent flying backward, coughing up blood, by Yunhua's attack; its body then disintegrated in mid-air, transforming back into more than five hundred yakshas.

"Good heavens, you actually severely injured my true form with a single blow. You've passed this test I was guarding! However, I'm just the weakest guardian left behind by my master. The old guys behind me are all stronger than me!" After being injured, the yaksha did not pursue, but left behind these words and quickly departed.

Chapter 1019 Golden Ape

Continuing onward, after flying for about half a day, a beautiful island came into view.

This is an island where snow falls all year round. The power of heaven and earth on this island is controlled by some force, causing snowflakes to constantly drift across the island.

In the heart of this snow-covered island stands a palace a thousand feet tall.

"We've finally arrived at the first island!" A hint of joy appeared on Yunhua's face.

The previous Yaksha was too weak. The next gatekeeper should be much stronger, and should be able to give me a good fight.

Yunhua stepped onto the island and immediately entered the palace within it.

"Whoosh!" Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, followed by a blur of motion that instantly attacked.

Yunhua stood quietly in place, only extending one arm. As he extended his arm, his palm suddenly grew larger, and then he smashed it directly at the afterimage.

With a loud bang, the afterimage shuddered violently, and then a figure was struck as if by lightning, spitting out blood, his body cracking, and flying backward.

"Don't mess with me!" Yun Hua ignored the celestial being and strode forward.

The afterimage circulated its divine power, slightly restoring its body. Its previously crazed expression calmed down a little, and it hesitated: "Why is the Snow Demon so strong this time? It defeated me with a single blow?"

The celestial being looked at Yunhua's retreating figure and realized that he seemed completely indifferent to him, only wanting to traverse the entire island. He immediately understood: "I know, he's a newcomer, someone else has arrived here! And he's so strong, perhaps he's the second Jueming Buddha?"

Only one person in the Three Realms successfully escaped from the Moonlit Pool World, and that was Buddha Jueming.

Although the snow-covered island was very large, the gods moved extremely fast, and Yunhua arrived at the end of the island in an instant.

At the end of the island, there is still a wooden bridge, seemingly connecting to the next island.

Just as Yunhua was about to step onto the wooden bridge, a voice came from behind: "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."

Yunhua turned her head and looked at the celestial being: "What, haven't you suffered enough yet? You still want to fight me?"

"No, no, no, fellow Daoist, you are overthinking it!" The celestial being immediately shook his head, and then he explained his thoughts to Yunhua.

He wanted to enter Yunhua's magical treasure cave and leave this place with him.

Once a celestial being enters Moonlit Pool, they cannot leave unless they complete the game.

Not only can he not leave, but every now and then a guardian will enter the place to fight him, and the opponent's strength is stronger each time. Continuing to stay here is tantamount to a slow death.

But without clearing the level, he couldn't leave the island. His only hope was that someone among the later arrivals would be able to leave the island, and then he could take them into his magical treasure and take them with him.

Yunhua nodded, took the celestial being into his Star-Picking Palace and settled it down, then stepped onto the wooden bridge leading to the second island.

Near Snow Island, the seawater is frozen over.

"Whoosh!!" The moment Yunhua stepped onto the island, the snow falling from the sky and earth suddenly intensified.

In the distance, countless snowflakes gathered and transformed into a white ape, holding a snow-white staff in its hand.

The ape stood in mid-air, its gaze passing through the snowflakes and landing on Yunhua: "Another little guy?"

"Don't disappoint me." The white ape's eerie laughter echoed between heaven and earth. At the same time, he had already broken through the air, holding a snow-white staff in both hands, and directly slashed at Yunhua.

Yun Hua's palm glowed, and the Star-Picking Divine Pattern manifested. He pushed out with his palm, and the terrifying power shook the void, surging like a tidal wave, reaching its extreme.

However, when faced with Yunhua's palm strike, the white ape's staff instantly transformed from being extremely hard to being extremely soft, and with a gentle twist, it dissipated most of the force of the palm strike.

"The power of Tai Chi?" A hint of joy appeared in Yun Hua's eyes. This was the first time he had come into contact with a power other than the power of the knife, sword, arrow, mind, and fire in this world.

As the ape changed its moves, Yunhua's hand techniques also suddenly shifted. His previously imposing palm, as solid as a mountain, instantly revealed its sharp edge, like a divine sword.

At the same time, the force that had been rolling forward like a tidal wave suddenly transformed into a thrust, pushing Yunhua's palm forward.

"puff!"

Yunhua's palm pierced directly through the white ape's body, and then the ape's body instantly dissipated, turning into a sky full of snowflakes.

At the same time, the white ape's voice rang out: "Good! Good! With such strength, you are qualified to fight me. Come on, I'll be waiting for you ahead!"

This white ape was still just a clone testing its opponent.

"This monkey does have a bit of a fighting spirit!" Yunhua chuckled.

Apes in every world share this characteristic: they are warlike!

Continuing onward, he soon saw a golden ape sitting cross-legged on a wooden bridge, blocking the road. Beside it was a long golden staff, radiating a strong aura of power.

"finally come!"

The golden ape suddenly opened its eyes, its fighting spirit soaring, and looked at Yunhua: "Come on, let me see what you've got!!"

"It seems I'll have to use weapons in this battle!" Yunhua said, staring at the golden ape.

At the same time, one of the thirty-six heavens fused with the Star Gold Pearl appeared in his palm, transforming into a divine sword. The tip of the sword emitted a soaring golden light, and Yun Hua instantly swung the sword down.

After the sword power reached the third realm and was fully unleashed, it transformed into a brilliant gold color.

"Clang!" The divine sword rang out, its sword light soaring into the sky. The golden sword power cleaved through eternity. Yunhua's sword was unstoppable, its momentum like a rainbow, exceptionally dazzling.

"Hmm!? The power of the sword at the third realm? Interesting." The golden ape's expression was solemn as it held its long staff in both hands, and with a sudden movement, it shook the air—

"Om!"

The long staff vibrated through the void, and instantly mysterious circles appeared in the void. Black and white air currents moved around the long staff like Tai Chi symbols.

"Boom!"

Then, the golden ape instantly swung its staff and smashed it onto Yunhua's divine sword. Even though the divine sword contained the third layer of sword power, its sword energy was still shattered by this blow.

The aftershocks even caused Yunhua to stagger backwards for over a hundred miles.

The golden ape's Tai Chi power is at least at the fourth level, so it's normal that Yunhua's third-level sword power couldn't block it.

"Haha, is that all you've got? Come on, let's go again!" The golden ape gained the upper hand in one move and immediately charged towards Yunhua.

Its trajectory is also very strange, consisting of all sorts of curves, which is a movement technique evolved from the power of Tai Chi.

Chapter 1020 Victory

"What profound Tai Chi power!" Yun Hua only glanced at it briefly, but immediately understood the mystery of the Golden Ape's movement technique.

However, at this moment, Yunhua is in a "Tai Chi" state of knife, sword and fire, and is very resistant to other laws of the Great Dao. He can only comprehend the Dao of the knife, the Dao of the sword and the Dao of fire. It is difficult for him to comprehend the power of Tai Chi that combines Yin and Yang.

"However, you can't comprehend it? Then use my sword, my blade, and my fire to feel it!"

"war!"

Yun Hua roared and charged directly at the golden ape. He still held the divine sword in his right hand, and at the same time, one of the Star Gold Pearls, one of the Thirty-Six Heavens, flew out and transformed into a knife that landed in Yun Hua's left hand.

He held a knife in his left hand and a sword in his right, shouting wildly, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

His voice was loud and clear, and his battle cries resounded through the heavens. With each shout of the word "war," his fighting spirit surged wildly, and his sword energy swept across the heavens and earth.

"Hahaha, well done!" The golden ape roared, and with a sudden tug, the golden staff in his hand stirred, and the black and white air currents swirled into a vortex, simultaneously swirling Yun Hua's knife and sword into it, before he suddenly raised the staff and chopped down.

"Clang!", "Clang!", "Bang!"...

A series of rapid clanging sounds of swords and clubs clashing rang out, the sounds continuous and forming a continuous chorus, each collision shattering large chunks of ice on the sea surface.

Wielding swords and blades, the Yunhua sword trembled, its sharpness unparalleled. Golden sword light and dark red blade energy roared and tore through the void, everything in its path as thin as a sheet of paper, shattered with a single cut.

Meanwhile, on the other side, black and white energy swirled on the Golden Ape's staff, combining strength and gentleness, even reaching the fourth level of Tai Chi power. This energy clashed with Yun Hua's swords, creating a vast expanse of black and white that instantly overwhelmed Yun Hua's swordplay.

The light of blades, the shadows of swords, the sounds of clashing—Yunhua and the Golden Ape constantly shifted their forms as they engaged in a fierce battle on the frozen sea.

The clash of swords and staffs unleashed devastating forces that surged forth, sweeping across the entire realm.

However, the Golden Ape's Tai Chi power was ultimately only at the fourth level of Tai Chi power; relying solely on the third realm's sword and saber power, it was no match for him. The situation became increasingly critical.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, Yunhua's own fire power was no longer hidden. A violent flame erupted from his body. His left hand was the power of a blade, his right hand was the power of a sword, and Yunhua in the center was flame, a flame that separated the blade and the sword.

In that instant, he seemed to have grasped something he had never grasped before. Inspiration burst forth, and his body transformed into a phoenix soaring through the heavens, wreathed in raging divine flames, and charged directly at the golden ape.

The explosive power and unparalleled sharpness transformed into flames at this moment, soaring into the sky. At this moment, nothing could stop him; his overwhelming power shattered all obstacles in his path.

"Crack!"

The golden ape swung its long staff down, the black and white Tai Chi power spinning, but all of this was instantly shattered by Yunhua's flames in an extremely violent way.

"Pfft!!" Almost instantly, the golden ape's body exploded.

However, a moment later, his body reformed, but much weaker. He stared at Yunhua in shock: "You..."

"I won!" Yunhua's body transformed back into human form, standing before the golden ape.

"Not bad, you won!" The golden ape exclaimed, looking at Yunhua in amazement.

"When you took out your sword, I realized that you might not be practicing the way of the sword, but something else entirely. It turns out it's the way of fire!"

The Golden Ape exclaimed, "Using the Way of Fire to encompass swords and blades is indeed a supreme and righteous path. The power of fire in the fourth realm is truly too fierce."

"Go on, there are a few stronger gatekeepers ahead of me. With your strength, you should be able to clear at least one more island," the Golden Ape warned one last time before disappearing from sight.

Yunhua was also taken aback. Why was this golden ape willing to say so much?

He remembered that when Ji Ning was here in the original story, the Golden Ape left without saying a word.
