Chapter 1291

Standing on a cliff, Gu Ding looked down. The sacrifice he wanted to capture, the Hundred Transformation Divine Ape, was just below the cliff.

It was an exotic beast of Perfect Lord-Level. Even Gu Ding had to be careful when dealing with it.

Gu Ding jumped off the cliff and glided toward the Divine Ape's coordinates.

The Divine Ape soon noticed his presence and roared at him from afar.

It was a giant ape about three meters tall. Its fur was silvery-white. Even though it was covered in fur, Gu Ding could still see its bulging muscles.

"Looks like it's a monkey that likes to exercise," Gu Ding could not help but complain.

At that moment, Gu Ding saw the giant ape climb up the cliff wall in a few steps. Then, it kicked the cliff wall with both feet and pounced toward him.

"I think I know where this monkey got its muscles from now."

Although Gu Ding said that, he did not dare to be careless in the face of his opponent's attack. His right hand turned into a giant arm and slapped toward the Divine Ape.

The Divine Ape was not afraid of Gu Ding's big hand at all. Instead, it swung its heavy fist and collided with the big hand.

"Boom!"

The collision this time caused the entire cliff to shake, giving off the feeling that it would collapse at any time.

Gu Ding was knocked back a few steps, and the Divine Ape also somersaulted a few times in the air.

"This guy is already very strong without transforming …" Gu Ding gave such an evaluation after just one fight.

"The Hundred Transformation Divine Ape is an Archean Mutant. In the entire Archean Era, the average combat power of this species can be ranked in the top twenty among the Lord-Levels, "Neptune said.

After one fight, the white Divine Ape seemed to realize Gu Ding's strength. There was a flash of surprise in its eyes. It seemed a little strange as to why Gu Ding, an Intermediate Lord-Level, could be strong enough to compete with it.

However, it seemed to realize something very quickly, and a golden light flashed in its eyes.

Gu Ding instantly felt a strange feeling of being watched, but the strange feeling disappeared in a flash.

He also noticed the abnormality in the Hundred Transformation Divine Ape's eyes, but it only took a moment for the eyes to return to normal. However, the changes that followed shocked Gu Ding.

The white Divine Ape's aura changed dramatically, and its appearance changed as well. In just a moment, he looked exactly like Gu Ding.

"Get rid of it as soon as possible. Don't wait for it to familiarize itself with your magic power. Otherwise, with its cultivation level higher than yours by two realms, coupled with its magic power that is exactly the same as yours, it will definitely be able to beat you up!" The Sea Emperor quickly reminded.

"There's no hurry. I'll see to what extent it can unleash my divine powers first." Gu Ding also wanted to know to what extent the other party's replication could reach.

His arms turned into two giant arms and slapped toward the Divine Ape.

Surprisingly, the Divine Ape used the same divine power. Its arms turned into giant arms and collided with Gu Ding's giant arms.

In an instant, Gu Ding's giant arm was destroyed by the impact. After all, there was too much of a difference in their cultivations.

When Gu Ding saw this, he could not help but feel a little surprised. "It doesn't need any practice at all to directly use my divine powers!"

"It can completely duplicate your memories, including your cultivation memories, so it can naturally be used. Right now, it's only at the stage of adapting to its new body. Once it has completely adapted to all of your divine powers and moves, it will be able to use them at will. Apart from forbidden supernatural powers and some moves that require a special bloodline, "the Sea Emperor explained.

"Understood!" Gu Ding did not plan to give the other party a chance.

His figure quickly pounced toward the other party, but the Divine Ape did not care. Its two giant arms grabbed at Gu Ding again and again as if it was having fun. Moreover, every time it attacked, its movements became more and more proficient.

However, how could Gu Ding let it do as it wished? His figure flickered a few times in a row, causing the Divine Ape to grab thin air and appear in front of it.

The next moment, Gu Ding turned into three people.

The Divine Ape was stunned when it saw this. It was ready to retreat and put some distance between them, but Gu Jin and Gu Kong held its shoulders.

Almost at the same time, Gu Ding clamped his claws on its head and activated the Absolute Seal.

The Divine Ape's powerful aura instantly weakened, and it returned to its original ape appearance.

"Fortunately, it hasn't fully familiarized itself with my divine powers and moves. Otherwise, even with the Absolute Seal, I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort." Gu Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After recalling the two clones, Gu Ding carried the Divine Ape to a secluded cave and began the sacrifice.

While Gu Ding was busy capturing the sacrifices, the rest of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew were not idle either. Lilliath, Biggie, and the others had also begun capturing the sacrifices.

Both Faust and Dockett had completed the sacrifice not long after they entered the battlefield. They were now middle Lords and had entered the consolidation stage.

Sonya had also just consolidated her cultivation as a lower Lord and was preparing for the sacrifice.

After entering the battlefield, the trio of Y'lisabet, Neptune, and Mikko caught up with Biggie and Lilliath's progress and began preparing for the second sacrifice.

After a day, Gu Ding finally successfully completed the third sacrifice and advanced to a higher Lord's cultivation level. With his current battle prowess, he was able to kill a One-Star Lord. He would be able to put up a fight against an ordinary Two-Star Lord.

After coming out of seclusion, Gu Ding immediately found the area where 1-star lord exotic beasts gathered on the map given by Neptune and began hunting.

He had fallen behind the others by a month, and he knew he had to make up for it as soon as possible.

Lord-level Battlefield Holy Spirits were considered Commander-level, and their merit points were calculated at ten times the normal rate.

Gu Ding was a higher Lord who was two ranks above him, and killing a 1-star lord was worth a thousand merit points each. His merit points were increasing rapidly.

His ranking began to climb rapidly from the bottom.

On the leaderboard, Gu Ding could see the top ten thousand people with accumulated points. The person in first place already had more than eight million merit points, and it was obvious that he was a powerhouse from another dimension.

Gu Ding also saw that Kohld Blood's ranking was very high, and he was already in 21st place.

Biggie, Lilliath, Hark, Elsa, Phaser, and Becca were all ranked around one hundred, and each had more than two million merit points.

The rest of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew, except for Gu Ding, were in the top two hundred.

In fact, this was not the result of everyone going all out. It was the result of Neptune telling everyone to hold back in order to avoid trouble.

That was because many of the Trial Takers in this space had already appeared, and even 2-star lords had appeared. It was not a good thing to encounter these fellows at this time, and everyone did not even have the ability to protect themselves. At the very least, they would have to wait until everyone's cultivation level had risen to perfected lord-level, and they would have the power to fight.
