Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Be it the gaping hole in his chest or the complete obliteration of a leg, everything began to heal the moment the ancient voice sounded.

Shen Yu looked at the statues in fascination and wondered if he should replicate them. They were impressive and could even work as an army for him.

However, there were more pressing matters at hand, so he quickly shoved the idea aside and turned away. His eyes caught sight of a tall skeleton standing before the throne.

The set of bones was adorned with a golden, intricate armor. Many battle scars marked its history and the might it once held.

In its hand, the king held a golden longsword that seemed to possess its own consciousness, floating around the king happily.

In the king's skull, two bright golden flames burned—brighter than anything he had ever seen. They felt strange to him, as if they carried immense sorrow, rage, guilt, and countless other emotions.

'Due to these emotions, the soul is being suppressed. What a surprise!'

Shen Yu thought as the giants rose from the ground again. His focus remained entirely on the Skeleton King, who was commanding the towering giants.

There was something off about him that Shen Yu couldn't pinpoint.

[Let's finish them and then see what that soul has to say.]

Shen Yu nodded, agreeing with Nancy. He had been thinking the same. However, he still wanted to have some fun, so he asked, "Give a power-up to this body. It can't handle a Peak Tier 9 undead and ten Tier 8 puppets enhanced by an artifact."

[Roger!]

He instantly felt a familiar warmth passing through every passage in his body, giving him an unprecedented power. He had never experienced anything like this before; even his predecessor had only reached the Integration Realm, equivalent to Tier 8 Spiritual Creatures.

The ninth realm was the Tribulation Realm, where one was tested by the heavens and tempered if they passed.

A cultivator in the Tribulation Realm could easily massacre tens of Integration Realm cultivators, as there was a qualitative change in each realm, especially in the Tribulation Realm.

The king in front of him was one such being who had achieved the peak of the Tribulation Realm, just a step away from the final realm of the Mortal World—the Ascension Realm.

He was a powerhouse who could have led one of the top sects if he were alive. And now, such a being was imprisoned here, guarding something horrifying.

Shen Yu glanced at the coffin and narrowed his eyes. He was really curious now and couldn't wait to tear apart the chains to see what lay inside.

But he wanted to have a chat with the king first, so he decided to fight. This battle intrigued him, as he had never faced anything quite like it.

He took a deep breath and said, his voice full of mockery and ridicule, "What a bunch of losers. Come at me!"

His provocation worked as the king raised his sword and let out a deafening roar.

"Aghhhhhhhhh!!"

The golden statues shimmered with ancient runes, strengthening them even more, bringing their prowess close to that of Tier 9.

"Interesting! Very interesting!"

Shen Yu smiled and launched himself toward the saber-wielding statue. The sharp blade of the saber cleaved at him, and he sidestepped to dodge it.

However, a whip landed just beside him, cracking the floor. Shen Yu clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk! These are troublesome!"

Suddenly, he felt a chill and instantly vanished from his spot, kicking against the ground. Even in this dire situation, he was only using Tier 9 power.

With a loud boom, the spot where he had been standing exploded. The entire ground trembled as if something massive had struck it.

Shen Yu reappeared a few hundred meters away and looked up to see the cause of the explosion.

"Oh! I completely forgot he could use his techniques. Well, I guess I'll end this quickly then. Others are also waiting for me."

The Golden King stood in the same spot as before, black lightning crackling around him in a wide radius. Each step he took caused lightning serpents to strike around him.

Shen Yu whistled, impressed by the sight. If the hall weren't completely golden, it would resemble a massive storm cloud approaching, as if nature itself were angry and had sent this being as a force of utter destruction.

'If this monster got out, he could ravage the entire empire just by walking around. Not a single individual could stop him. Not bad!'

He grinned and clasped his hands together, muttering an ancient spell known only to those with the bloodline of the Abyssal Ape.

His body grew in size, with his muscles bulging even more. Fortunately, his clothes were designed for this transformation, so they didn't tear.

"Partial-God Emperor Ape Transformation!"

Shen Yu smiled, feeling the power coursing through him. He looked down at the ground, feeling as if he were standing on a giant building.

He had grown to a towering height of twenty meters. His hands felt like giant buildings moving around, thick and powerful.

Releasing a foul breath, he launched himself forward. His target? The golden statues, which now looked small in comparison. With a single swipe of his hand, he sent two statues hurling away and punched a gaping hole in another's torso.

This was the power of the Abyssal Ape, a forbidden species said to have consumed part of the devil himself. They were nearly extinct, but he had encountered one about ten years ago.

He had been very impressed and taken aback by its sheer physical strength, and that memory was still vivid. This was why he had asked Nancy to grant him this bloodline, as he wanted to experience that power.

It deserved the title of a Forbidden Species, as in just a few seconds, Shen Yu had dispatched all the golden statues, leaving only the Skeleton King.

However, he was also the most troublesome one. Shen Yu wasn't sure he could defeat him in his current form.
