The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1836

Under the joint attack of four masters of the Heavenly Grotto Realm and the ultimate magical treasure, the Grand Killing Array didn't stand a chance. Moments later, it began disintegrating before their eyes.

They held their ground and continued to pummel it. Eventually, it exploded with a loud bang.

"It's gone. Make them go inside,"

one of the masters of the Heavenly Grotto Realm ordered, sneering at the prisoners.

A middle-aged man nodded and turned to face the prisoners. Then, the four cultivators of the Heavenly Grotto Realm floated back to the entrance of the valley and sat in mid-air.

"Okay; well done. The Grand Killing Array is gone.

Now that we are safe, let's continue to move forward,"

one of the middle-aged men shouted, pointing at the purple glow on the horizon.

The remaining cultivators glanced tiredly at the depths of the valley. All they wanted was to run back to their safe homes and sleep. The men looked menacingly at them and they turned around.

The men weren't the most threatening to them but the eight cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm were watching them, so they had no chance to escape alive.

Sighing, they began marching towards the depths once again.

A moment later, all their eyes lifted to the sky.

Howl!

On top of a rock, an evil ape, covered in white hair, was crouched. It leaped and flew several thousand feet into the air. As it rose, it appeared smaller and smaller before it started to plummet upon them.

They cowered and some of them scattered as the ape landed on the ground. It chased after six of them, stomping on their heads and making them burst like watermelons.

Howl! Howl!

As the prisoners scattered, the ape ran after them and stretched out its millstone-sized palms. It gripped one prisoner at a time and smashed them into small pieces.

Surprisingly, the prisoners were dying without putting up a fight. A majority of the warriors that had been caught by the Crimson Palace were at the Minor-perfection Realm, and the rest were at the Major-perfection Realm. This ape was gigantic and fast but they shouldn't be acting like cowards.

After it had killed a few more prisoners, the mystery was answered: the ape was at the Heavenly Grotto Realm!

The warriors couldn't even put up a fight against the ape. It crushed them before they could resort to their vital energy.

"There is a beast at the Heavenly Grotto Realm!"

one of the men from the Crimson Palace shouted. He turned to ask help of the real masters at the exit of the valley. His counterpart was also pale with fright as he stood next to him.

Even though both men were at the premium stage of Major-perfection Realm, they weren't powerful enough to take on the ape.

Whoosh!

At the entrance to the valley, two of the strong cultivators of the Heavenly Grotto Realm instantly flew to the ape.

It turned to them and screamed viciously, pounding its chest. They didn't even flinch. One of them pulled out the black iron ruler and used it to attack the evil ape. The other stayed behind a few feet and used small amounts of vital energy to cover him.

After a few minutes, the ape fell heavily onto the ground, shaking it. The masters nodded and returned to their perch.

Exhausted and half-dead, the cultivators were pushed forward once again. The valley looked as large as it first had, as if they hadn't made any progress.

Before long, another cultivator stepped into a hidden Grand Killing Array. As more of them dropped dead, the rest became more hesitant to move forward. Still, the Crimson Palace men forced them on. Beasts at the Heavenly Grotto Realm feasted on them and their numbers lessened.

Whenever there was a Grand Killing Array or beast appearing, the eight cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm who were guarding at the entrance to the valley would go into the valley and eliminate them.

Half an hour later, all the cultivators who had been forced to scout the road had been killed.

Thankfully, the valley had been half-explored at that point. They were closer to the purple light and the large dome, meaning there would be more dangerous guards. However, they had a back-up plan.

The two men looked behind them and smiled.

Feeling disgusted, Austin watched as hundreds of more warriors were marched into the valley.

It appeared that the Crimson Palace had sent a large group of people to the nearby region to catch cultivators and escort them to this valley. They truly were cowards.

"Ha-ha! We're close to the innermost part of the valley.

Okay. Send in the fresh meat now.

This time, we will be more careful and not be killed!"

a cultivator at the Heavenly Grotto Realm said, laughing. Despite the death surrounding them, he was happy.

"Oh my God! We're all going to die!"

Having witnessed what had happened in the valley, the new cultivators trembled with fear. Some of them had tears streaming down their faces.

"Get over there, all of you!"

an old man in grey robe shouted, stepping forward from the group.

None of them moved so he whipped up the sleeve of his robe and a tidal wave of vital energy force rolled towards the entrance of the valley. Before any of the prisoners could run, it rolled them up and threw them into the valley.

Among them, Austin stood from the ground, bleary-eyed and confused.

Looking back at the elder, Austin's jaw dropped. He looked like a god as he stood in the valley.

He was also at the Heavenly Grotto Realm but he

looked more powerful than the other seven cultivators of the Heavenly Grotto Realm.

Austin guessed that he was the strongest man in the Crimson Palace. If he weren't, Austin never wanted to meet the one who was.

'Back in the East Mainland, perhaps only Elder Sharp could overpower him, '
