Great Demon Sun Wukong

Glancing at Ye Zi with some strangeness, Sun Wukong did not say much more. After convincing Ye Zi, the three of them took a short rest and then continued on their way. The great battle was imminent, and there wasn’t much time left for Sun Wukong and the little monkey. From the day they set out from the Netherworld Palace, Xi Zhao had given them only ten days, because the final battle was scheduled for twelve days from their departure. As for why it was set for twelve days, firstly, it was because the time needed for Sun Wukong and his group to seek help wouldn’t be short, and secondly, the last battle was a matter of life and death for everyone, so naturally, they needed more time to prepare.

Now two and a half days had already passed since Sun Wukong and the little monkey left the Netherworld Palace. If nothing unexpected occurred, the three of them would reach the territory of the Dragon Emperor by this evening. After a short rest, they would start troubling the Dragon Emperor. This time, Sun Wukong had no intention of holding back. According to Ye Zi’s plan, Ye Zi would first use the Doppelganger Tree Demon to restrain the Dragon Emperor’s subordinates, then the little monkey would limit the Dragon Emperor’s movements, and finally, Sun Wukong would launch a direct attack.

Concerning Ye Zi’s battle plan, the little monkey just gave him the middle finger and said, "If you’re scared, just say it outright. You almost had me believing your polite way of saying it." With Ye Zi showing an expression of shamelessness that seemed to say he wouldn’t do it if he said he wouldn’t, the three of them finally arrived at the edge of a basin by evening. In fact, they had felt the dense dragon aura from afar, and when they looked down into the basin, even the little monkey couldn’t help but be surprised.

"When I came last time, there weren’t this many dragons here. At most, there were only three Supreme Peak dragons, and there was only one Domain Lord Level, which was the Dragon Emperor. But how much time has passed? How could there suddenly be so many?" The little monkey exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the myriad of dragons densely packed in the basin below. Ye Zi too rubbed his eyes hard and then slowly put his right hand into the ground below. After four or five breaths, Ye Zi exclaimed with surprise, "I just felt it; those dragons below are definitely genuine, but this is too astonishing, isn’t it?"

Sun Wukong was also a bit taken aback at the moment because in the not-so-vast basin below, there were tens of thousands of various dragons. But, without exception, they were all prostrated on the ground. Even those dragons that were good at flying were not flying in the air, which allowed Sun Wukong and the others to sneak up to the edge of the basin easily. It should be noted that under normal circumstances, there were many dragons patrolling and defending around the Dragon Valley.

What shocked the three of them was not the quantity of the dragons below, but their peak combat power. There were three Domain Lord Level dragons, each one of them entirely golden as if they were cast from gold—Golden Dragons. These three Golden Dragons were the only ones among the dragons below who were not prostrated on the ground. In addition, there were nearly a thousand Supreme Peak dragons positioned in a semi-kneeling stance below the Golden Dragons, and behind them were around thirty to forty thousand more dragons.

There were Divine Dragons like the Azure Dragon of Pangu Realm, dragons with double wings on their backs akin to large lizards, and of course, many dinosaurs-like dragons with thick hind limbs and short front limbs. Almost any dragon you could think of could be seen here. What caught the attention of Sun Wukong and his companions was the middle-aged man sitting on a tall golden chair right in the center of those three massive Golden Dragons.

This middle-aged man was, naturally, the Dragon Emperor, the target of their venture this time. "Tong Bei, this is your surefire plan? The three of us going to fight thirty thousand? And then subdue their boss? I’m really starting to doubt whether you brought us here to die." The little monkey was not pleased after hearing Sun Wukong’s words, jumping up and slapping Sun Wukong on the back of his head, saying, "If I wanted you dead, would I need to risk my own life? Don’t be impatient. The Dragon Emperor is very domineering and arrogant; he wouldn’t create such a big spectacle for no reason. It looks like he didn’t show all his strength when I last visited. Let’s wait and see what tricks the Dragon Emperor wants to play. If necessary, I’ll use some Realm Spirit power, and we will definitely take him down." Experience more on novelbuddy

Seeing the determination in the little monkey’s eyes, Sun Wukong had no more to say. They steadied their minds, found a large tree at the edge of the basin, and hid themselves in the dense canopy. Ye Zi then applied a faint green Light Barrier over the three of them, completely assimilating their presence with the big tree. Having done all this, the three curiously watched the center of the basin.

Soon, Sun Wukong and his companions saw the middle-aged man who had been sitting in the golden throne stand up slowly, looking around at the prostrated Central Dragon Clan with an emperor’s bearing, nodded in satisfaction, and announced in a resounding voice, "You are the descendants of the Dragon Race of the Patrolling Celestial World, and you represent all the strength of our Dragon Race. Today, I, Dragon Emperor Long Lie, will announce an event that will change the fate of our Dragon Race. We can finally leave this place, leave this spot that has trapped us for countless aeons. From now on, the entire universe will be our backyard, with endless treasures waiting for us to conquer and collect!"

The Dragon Emperor’s speech completely stunned all the dragons in the Dragon Valley, of course, excluding the three Domain Lord Level Golden Dragons. The little monkey and Ye Zi were also shocked, but Sun Wukong was not. "This is impossible. Even if the Dragon Emperor’s power is tremendous, he can’t possibly defeat that person and earn the right to leave all by himself, not to mention by his own. Not even if he exhausted the whole Dragon Race’s strength would it likely be enough, and judging by the Dragon Emperor’s look, he does not appear to have gone through any severely brutal battle."

At this moment, Ye Zi was completely shocked, and his words also met with strong approval from the little monkey, who confirmed emphatically, "That’s absolutely impossible. I understand that person’s strength too well. The Dragon Emperor definitely didn’t earn the qualifications to leave by defeating that person. He must have some other method. This is bad, if the Dragon Emperor has already found a way to leave here, then our plan is utterly ruined."

Sun Wukong was very puzzled by their conversation, and quickly asked, "What are you two talking about? Who is that person? And what’s the deal with this Dragon Emperor?" The little monkey did not explain anything to Sun Wukong, instead, his brows were tightly furrowed in thought. But Ye Zi suddenly had a bright look in his eyes and said to the little monkey with some excitement, "Monkey, think about it, think about us two, couldn’t we talk to the Dragon Emperor? Since he has a way to leave here smoothly, it wouldn’t be a problem to take the two of us with him. This could be a godsend for both of us."

Upon hearing Ye Zi’s words, the little monkey’s previously knotted brows immediately relaxed, and a bright light shone in his eyes. However, he did not lose his calm, and after thinking it over carefully, he said to Ye Zi, who was excited about his own idea, "No, there’s definitely a problem here. We shouldn’t act blindly; the most important thing right now is to stay calm. The rules set by that person could never be broken, and it definitely won’t be easy for the Dragon Emperor to leave here. Besides, as a Realm Spirit, I know that the Patrolling Celestial World is always under surveillance, even though certain methods can temporarily shield a region. But for a move as big as the Dragon Emperor preparing to leave the Patrolling Celestial World, no matter what method he uses, there would be a tremendous spatial fluctuation. That person would definitely feel it."

This cool-headed analysis by the little monkey immediately diminished the excitement in Ye Zi’s eyes a little. Still, he did not give up completely because of the little monkey’s words, and said somewhat reluctantly, "How about this, let’s just watch from here for now. If the Dragon Emperor really has a way to deceive everyone and successfully lead the Dragon Race out of here, we can always join them later. I believe that with such a large number of the Dragon Race wanting to leave, it will take some time. No matter what method the Dragon Emperor has, he definitely wouldn’t dare to let everyone leave at once."

The little monkey nodded, signaling his agreement with Ye Zi, and then fell silent. Just as Sun Wukong was about to ask a question, he suddenly heard the little monkey’s voice in his mind, filled with bitterness, "Ling Ming, sorry, but if this really is an opportunity, I won’t miss it. So if the Dragon Emperor really does have a way to leave here, Ye Zi and I will definitely follow the Dragon Emperor and leave together. If I really do leave, then I can no longer assist you in the fight to come. However, I will leave my army of Ferocious Beasts under your control. Even without me, as long as you’re a bit more cautious with those beasts, you shouldn’t have any problems."

Sun Wukong wanted to say something, but things were happening so quickly that his brain couldn’t quite catch up. After organizing the information he had just received, he managed to ask the little monkey with some difficulty, "You, you’re leaving? To where?" Of course, Sun Wukong’s question was also asked in his mind.

"I don’t know where I’ll end up after I leave, but as long as I can get out of here, anywhere is good." "But didn’t you say before that you simply couldn’t leave here? That your flesh had merged with the Patrolling Celestial World!"

"Heh, that’s true, but as long as I pay a certain price and give up my flesh, it’s not impossible to leave. Actually, the biggest difficulty I mentioned about being unable to leave wasn’t my flesh, but the fact that I simply couldn’t defeat that person."

"Who exactly is that person?"
