Ye Zhongming's eyes held a color that was usually absent.
If one stood directly in front of him and looked closely, they would find his eyes deep and captivating, as if they contained infinite and profound secrets.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a shadow of a mountain peak appeared above the heads of the many mature warriors swimming near Isabella, descending towards them.
Many who were familiar with Ye Zhongming understood what this was; he had used it more than once before.
Overpowering mountain shadow.
Such commotion naturally drew everyone's attention, causing the battle to momentarily slow down. Ji Rui Guang and Husky looked up at the sky and felt that this move was somewhat different; it seemed… smaller, but the phantom shadow had become more solid.
Isabella turned her head curiously to observe Ye Zhongming, unsure why this guy would choose to unleash his first attack since awakening against her.
Indeed, the attackers on her side had already reached a certain level of proficiency, and Isabella could easily turn her head whenever she wished.
After using this ability, Ye Zhongming didn’t pay much attention to it, instead looking into the distance.
Many who were watching Ye Zhongming were confused about what was happening; why was he zoning out during such an intense battle?
The King of Cloud Summit could not afford to zone out at this moment; he was merely searching for a target.
His gaze landed on a mountain peak several kilometers away from him.
Then, he raised his hand again, directing it towards that mountain, which was not particularly tall, only a few hundred meters high.
In the next second, the entire peak suddenly emitted a rumbling sound before starting to collapse.
The noise was loud enough to draw the attention of many who were still on the periphery.
Changes in geological phenomena typically wouldn’t arouse curiosity among these powerful beings, but their keen eyesight allowed them to notice that within the dust cloud of the collapse, a massive figure was slowly revealing itself.
At the same time, a violent wave of energy transmitted over, sending chills down their spines.
Before those present could comprehend the situation, a tremendous and ferocious roar erupted from the dust, shaking the air and the ground.
The black shadow burst forth from the dust, revealing its true form.
It was an enormous and fierce-looking giant ape, made entirely of rock, yet incredibly lifelike; even the muscle twitching during its movement was distinctly visible.
Its eyes were pitch black, with sharp, white, rock-like teeth, and even its fur was made up of bare branches, the tips extraordinarily sharp.
As soon as the giant ape appeared, it charged rapidly toward the battlefield, the distance of several kilometers reduced to mere meters with each of its strides.
Its dark eyes had already turned blood-red as it reached the edge of the attacker’s camp, showing no signs of slowing down; instead, it propelled itself forward with both feet, its massive body taking off from the ground.
The mountain shadow, which had been descending, was now under attack, and some beings below had begun to strike in an attempt to break it apart before it pressed down completely.
These mature warriors and novices were quite powerful, and in such a short time, the previously fast-falling mountain shadow had started to dim, clearly indicating significant energy consumption.
"Retreat."
Isabella glanced around and immediately led her two clansmen back. As they moved, the leaping giant ape pounced on the mountain giant shadow, its tremendous weight forcing the mountain shadow downward.
Those still beneath it were in trouble, having no time to escape before being crushed underneath.
This was not just the mountain shadow's own power; there was also the giant ape's strength. When the mountain shadow vanished, a scene of bloodshed lay beneath the giant ape's body.
"Kill it!"
A highly-ranked mature warrior nearby roared, seeing the giant ape swinging its arms to attack the surrounding attackers.
