Hearing Little White's pitiful, aggrieved complaints, Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh.
From the tone alone, it was clear that the two of them hadn't suffered anything too serious.
"Alright, alright, don't be mad. I'll summon you over right now."
Just as Jiang Yan was about to reach out to summon Little White and Apep, Apep suddenly spoke.
"Boss, there's no need to summon us."
Jiang Yan froze. Deep within the Chasm, even Little White turned to look at Apep.
"Are you crazy?!"
Little White asked in disbelief.
"You've been stuck here for so long—don't tell me you've actually grown fond of this place?!"
Apep shook his head, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.
"Boss, help me remove the restriction on my body."
Hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately understood.
"You're sure?"
"Mm. I just hope you won't mind, Boss."
Hearing Apep's tone, Jiang Yan suddenly laughed.
This guy had clearly been holding things in for five hundred years.
If his companion had been wronged and wanted revenge, why would Jiang Yan mind?
"If that's the case—then let's make a real mess of things, Apep!"
"Just be careful not to involve the people outside."
Jiang Yan spoke softly as the Monkey Talisman in his mind suddenly lit up.
"Understood, Boss."
Apep nodded, then used his emerald-green tail to tap Little White lightly.
"Come on. I'll take you to get revenge."
Little White set Apep down.
As Jiang Yan lifted the restriction on Apep, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth from Apep's body.
Naturally, this disturbance immediately drew the attention of the constantly surging monsters nearby.
They roared as they charged toward the source of the light.
"You insignificant insects—I've endured you for five hundred years!!!"
A thunderous roar erupted as the light dissipated. In that instant, the entire underground space of the Chasm began to violently tremble.
On the surface of the Chasm.
The Five Yakshas were locked in a bloody battle when the earth suddenly began to shake violently.
At Qingxu Pool, after a surge of green wind pierced through a group of monsters, a green-haired youth planted his spear into the ground to steady himself.
"Xiao!!"
As the ground shook even more violently, Minu nearly lost his footing and staggered a few steps.
Xiao gripped his spear tightly, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Chasm.
At this moment, all the soldiers and Yakshas fighting around the Chasm stared in stunned silence toward that direction.
On the distant horizon, a colossal figure suddenly appeared. A massive green dragon raised its head to the sky and let out an earth-shaking roar.
"ROAR!!!"
The roar alone was enough to cause the surrounding monsters to instantly shatter.
At this moment, the Dendro Dragon King Apep—carrying five hundred years of pent-up fury—formally appeared on the battlefield of the Chasm.
"Holy… shit…"
"No way…"
"What the hell… is that thing…?"
In that instant, despairing murmurs spread among the crowd.
They didn't know of Apep's existence, nor did they know he was an ally.
If such a gigantic being were to attack them—even if the Rabbit (Mao) Sky Fortress rammed into it and detonated its internal god-killing bomb, it probably wouldn't scratch it.
Little White stood proudly atop Apep's head, his two slender paws crossed over his chest.
His snow-white head tilted toward the sky, wearing an utterly smug expression.
A perfect example of riding someone else's coattails—no, a ferret riding a dragon's might.
"Apep! Kill them all for me!"
Little White shouted loudly, pointing downward.
"Oh!"
Apep responded. He had been holding back his fury for far too long.
Apep opened his massive jaws, and a breath attack blasted straight into the depths of the Chasm.
BOOM!!!!
The overwhelming breath instantly annihilated all the monsters deep within the Chasm. The shockwave from the blast swept outward, obliterating the newly surging monsters as well.
"Hahaha! That feels amazing!"
Little White laughed wildly. It was unbelievably satisfying.
This single breath released five hundred years of pent-up frustration for Little White—and allowed Apep to vent his rage as well.
The monsters had no chance to resist.
Even though they were tainted by the dark Abyssal energy, it was utterly useless.
Apep was an Elemental Dragon King!
And one restored to peak condition by Jiang Yan himself!
Even gods—no, even top-tier gods—would have to lie prostrate respectfully before Apep.
After the breath attack ended, all monsters in the Chasm were completely eradicated. The few scattered remnants that tried to escape were crushed instantly beneath Apep's massive body.
At that moment, Apep looked into the distance, where the Five Yakshas were leading the Liyue Lisha Army toward him.
Because Apep's breath attack had cut off the monsters' reinforcements, the invaders at Qingxu Pool, Lingju Pass, and Dunyu Mausoleum were quickly wiped out by the Lisha Army and Rabbit Fortress's flying craft.
After eliminating the monsters, the Five Yakshas regrouped and led their forces toward the Chasm.
Even though Apep had wiped out the monsters in a single strike, the Yakshas and soldiers remained extremely tense.
After all, this colossal being had appeared out of nowhere—it was still unclear whether he was friend or foe.
But the closer they drew to Apep, the more terrified they became.
He was too big.
So massive that even the Rabbit Sky Fortress looked like an ant in comparison.
"Many thanks, honored one, for helping us eliminate the monsters in the Chasm!"
Fushe gathered his courage. Despite the fear in his heart, he did not retreat.
He had to determine whether this colossal being was an enemy or an ally.
"Hey, Apep, lower your head a bit."
"They're talking to you."
Hearing Fushe's shout, Little White patted Apep on the head.
"Hmm?"
Apep lowered his head, looking down at the tiny humans below.
The Lisha Army soldiers immediately tightened their grips on their spears, their bodies tense.
The pressure radiating from Apep was overwhelming.
"Humans."
Apep spoke softly.
Even so, to Fushe and the others, his voice exploded like thunder.
"Hey, Apep, let me handle this."
"Look at them—they're all scared half to death by you."
Seeing this, Apep realized that even speaking in his current form was too much for humans to bear.
So he lowered his head further and gently set Little White down.
