Great Demon Sun Wukong

A roar of anger erupted from Long Lie’s mouth, and immediately after, a golden light exploded from his body, transforming the entire bottom of Dragon Valley into the most dazzling golden color. However, the three souls attacking the Dragon Emperor did not take this opportunity to strike, whether due to the influence of the golden light or an order from the Spirit Controller. Instead, they assumed a defensive posture, with the two bull demons taking the lead and the Fire Phoenix following from behind.

While the golden light obscured everyone’s vision, another beam of golden light shot toward the Spirit Controller. It was none other than the Golden Dragon Spear in Long Lie’s hand. Though the spear was propelled with immense force and its shaft cloaked in golden light, it was no match for the formidable strength of the Spirit Controller. As the spear, now just a streak of golden light, approached him, he appeared completely unbothered, as if he hadn’t even seen it coming.

In the next moment, an excessively large arm materialized out of nowhere in front of the Spirit Controller, seizing the speeding Dragon Spear. The owner of the arm revealed himself as a giant ape over five meters tall. At that moment, the tip of the spear was a mere handspan away from the Spirit Controller’s forehead. "Here, play with this— the Dragon Spear is yours now!" Giving the ape a glance, the Spirit Controller waved his hand dismissively and then added, "Oh yes, go take care of those three rats!"

Despite receiving the Spirit Controller’s order, the ape did not take immediate action. Instead, with a look that said, "Do I look stupid to you?" he gazed at the Spirit Controller, held up three fingers on his left hand to point up the valley, and then raised one finger on his right hand to point at himself. After tapping his left hand against the right, the right hand slackened and dropped. His meaning was clear: They have three against my one—if I go up there, wouldn’t I be finished off immediately?

The Spirit Controller was so frustrated that he laughed, but he did not dwell on it. With a wave of his right hand, five more Soul Bodies appeared—three of Supreme Peak level and two of Domain Lord level. Along with the ape, that made six in total, three Domain Lords and three of Supreme Peak level. This lineup suggested that the Spirit Controller greatly enjoyed battles where the forces were evenly matched. The ape, now brimming with pride, puffed up his chest, slapping it audibly.

He then turned around, aiming the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand directly at Sun Wukong and his companions. Sun Wukong, having suspected based on Ye Zi’s guess that the Spirit Controller had discovered them, was hesitating whether to flee at once when he spoke with a hint of resignation, "It’s too late now, prepare for battle." As he spoke, a beam of golden light shot toward them—the ape, having learned from Long Lie, had thrown the Golden Dragon Spear.

The Jingu Bang appeared in his hands, and with a flick, the incoming Golden Dragon Spear was sent flying back. At that moment, the little monkey and Ye Zi also stood up, exchanging a look of helpless frustration. What was this all about? They had only planned to join forces to give the Dragon Emperor a good thrashing and then drag him into the fray, but now, the Dragon Emperor had instigated a grand escape.

Instead of fleeing, they had attracted the attention of the Law Enforcers. Now they were implicated as well, and there was a chance they would end up as casualties to accompany the Dragon Emperor in death. Nonetheless, they couldn’t just sit by and await their doom. And judging by current observations, the Spirit Controller did not seem to be one who killed without cause. Moreover, the little monkey was aware of certain secrets within the Patrolling Celestial World; powerful beings of their caliber were not to be killed off easily. Besides, other than the sensitive nature of Ye Zi’s identity, none of them had committed any crimes.

Of course, the reason the Spirit Controller had ordered the ape to deal with the trio was most likely because he was peeved at being spied on. He also sensed a very familiar aura from the three, and he had known the identity of at least one of them from the start. So, although he verbally ordered their elimination, the six Soul Bodies he dispatched were not overwhelmingly powerful to the point where Sun Wukong and his companions could not contend with them.

"Ling Ming, do not use the Divine Festive Stele under any circumstances, and Ye Zi, do not employ the power of your Primordial Pearl. Then, let’s fight as if our lives depended on it—I certainly do not wish to stay here and become dragon dung," the little monkey said, meanwhile transforming into the formidable figure of a Through-back Ape, standing over three meters tall, with arms reaching four meters in length. Sun Wukong wasted no time in talking; despite not feeling an intense murderous intent from the Spirit Controller, he wasn’t about to underestimate his opponent.

The aura of Chaos within him erupted explosively, immediately entering the state of Chaos Giant Transformation. His hair turned silver-white, and he stood bare-chested, muscles bulging all over his body as he tightly gripped the Jingu Bang. He then roared, "Chaos Five Decisions, Heavensplitting Strike!" Chaos Qi surged wildly around him, creating a vortex of Chaos Energy with Sun Wukong at the center. Even the little monkey and Ye Zi were forced to retreat to avoid being swept into the storm.

Subsequently, the wildly surging Chaos aura and power all converged on Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang. Then, Sun Wukong leapt up, hoisting the Jingu Bang high above his head before bringing his arms down fiercely. At this moment, the image of a massive axe some three to four hundred meters in length had appeared above the Jingu Bang. As Sun Wukong brought down the Jingu Bang, the giant axe also brought with it an unstoppable and terrifying momentum that cleaved straight towards the Through-back Ape that had lunged into midair and the five Soul Bodies behind it.

Sun Wukong’s strike was incredibly powerful, so much so that even the Spirit Controller, who had been all smiles, furrowed his brows and turned his head to look at Sun Wukong and the giant axe shadow in the sky. Perhaps influenced by the aura of Sun Wukong’s strike, the Dragon Emperor, who had been shrouded in blinding golden light, suddenly let out a heaven-shaking dragon’s roar, and two golden dragon wings unfurled within the sphere of golden light. As the wings unfolded, an immensely powerful aura erupted forth as well.

"Interesting, very interesting. One is a Golden Holy Dragon evolved to its ultimate form, and the other is a demon that can fully utilize the Chaos Decree, hehe, it’s really not in vain that I came. However, I still don’t know what kind of combat power these two guys can wield," said the Spirit Controller, who then casually sat down. And as his body just touched the ground, a throne carved from jade and emitting a green light suddenly appeared behind him, and he sat down upon it.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong’s Heavensplitting Strike had already reached the six Soul Bodies, five of which swiftly fled in all directions. Only the Through-back Ape, with a grin, rapidly solidified its soul aura. Instead of dodging, it flickered and charged towards the descending shadow of the giant axe. Seeing the Ape’s reaction, Sun Wukong’s lips curved slightly upward as he said softly, "Since you choose destruction, I shall grant it to you!"

Just as the Through-back Ape flickered to the side of the giant axe shadow and was about to strike it with its power-laden right fist, the axe shadow from the Heavensplitting Strike suddenly vanished into thin air. A crack in space opened directly above the Ape’s head, then the giant axe shadow fiercely chopped down. Caught in shock, the Ape was split in two and, next to the cloven soul, a space crack appeared out of nowhere. The two halves were instantly sucked into the fine fissure.

Having slain a Soul Body of Domain Lord Level with a single strike, Sun Wukong showed no sign of stopping; instead, with a flash of his figure, he shouted again, "Chaos Five Decisions second form—Primordial Yin and Yang Division." As he roared, Sun Wukong had already appeared in front of another Soul Body which had escaped from the initial Heavensplitting Strike.

This Soul Body looked almost like a ferocious tiger, but it had a sharp horn on its head. It had witnessed Sun Wukong slay the Through-back Ape with one strike, and now, seeing Sun Wukong suddenly appear before it, the creature panicked and turned to flee without hesitation. Sun Wukong did not immediately give chase but instead took something out from his bosom and sprinkled it around.

Following this, countless specks of light filled the entire space like a myriad of stars in the night sky. Whether intentionally or not, no specks of light appeared within a ten-meter radius of the Spirit Controller. What Sun Wukong had scattered was not something ordinary but the Spatial Sand he obtained from Yue Huangquan, previously known as Stars Sand.

Just as the tiger Soul Body had leapt a hundred meters away from Sun Wukong, a speck of Spatial Sand beside the tiger suddenly flashed, and then Sun Wukong appeared abruptly. Moreover, as he emerged, he smacked his palm on the back of the fleeing tiger.

Soon after, the tiger didn’t even have the chance to howl before it turned into two smokes, one clear and one turbid, and drifted away with the wind.
