Great Demon Sun Wukong

Actually, Sun Wukong was about to take action just now, as the saying goes, strike first to gain the upper hand; hesitate and suffer the consequences—especially since this could very well be considered a battle for life or death. It was just as he was about to make his move that an idea suddenly arose in Sun Wukong’s mind, which was the reason behind the probing question he had just asked. The Spirit Controller, after hearing Sun Wukong’s question, did not respond. Instead, he laughed and said, "Don’t you know that those who know too much often don’t end up with a good fate?"

Sun Wukong’s initially tense mood immediately relaxed because he realized his conjecture and the thoughts in his mind were correct. Shrugging his shoulders, Wukong said with a touch of helplessness, "That’s still better than dying without knowing anything. Besides, I don’t know that much, and maybe I’ll even forget it all when I turn around!" This time, the Spirit Controller did not pick up Wukong’s words but simply waved his hand with a clear intention—fight if you must, show all the power you have.

This confirmation finally set Sun Wukong’s mind at ease. Although he still didn’t know if he could defeat the man in green armor, many questions in his heart now had answers, and he no longer needed to restrain himself. The sudden idea that had crossed Sun Wukong’s mind was that since he had already learned the Spirit Controller had Ming Tiekuang follow him to make use of his strength in executing the Underworld God Army, could it be that the Spirit Controller also had his own difficulties?

Perhaps that sounds vague. To put it another way, could it be understood that the Spirit Controller needing to monitor the Patrolling Celestial World and admonishing the little monkey not to harm the Underworld God Army were not his true intentions? And that everything the little monkey did in the Patrolling Celestial World was actually permitted by him? Otherwise, after discovering the Dragon Emperor trying to escape and the little monkey’s insubordination in sparing Ye Zi, the Spirit Controller would not have seemed so nonchalant, right? He didn’t even glance at Ye Zi from beginning to end.

Therefore, Sun Wukong’s thought was that although the Spirit Controller was a member of the Universal Law Enforcers, he was not entirely in agreement with the creators of the Patrolling Celestial World. On the surface, he warned the little monkey not to harm the Underworld God Army, yet he took this opportunity to have Wukong, who was still an outsider, execute them. Following this clue further, the little monkey had mentioned that the chains and locks on the Underworld God Army were for the purpose of absorbing and accumulating Spiritual Energy, which would then be transferred somewhere.

Hence, a bold assumption could be made that the Heavenly Patrollers had a plan requiring a tremendous amount of extremely pure Spiritual Power that had vitality. What is Spiritual Power with vitality? The usual Spiritual Energy and Power between heaven and earth are pure elemental forces, such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and other varieties. These energies are naturally produced by the world and are very pure, but they also have a certain wildness.

All cultivators increase their cultivation by absorbing and refining this Spiritual Power into their own. The reason it’s absorption and refinement rather than direct use is that there’s a need for a process to remove the wildness from the Spiritual Energy. Therefore, it can be inferred that the Heavenly Patrollers’ plan required an incredibly vast amount of tame Spiritual Power that could be directly absorbed and used without anyone noticing. Otherwise, they could’ve easily used their status to force all the worlds and planets in the universe to provide them with vital Spiritual Power.

In light of these conditions, the Patrolling Celestial World was created, managed in turn by eight Universal Law Enforcers specifically for collecting vital Spiritual Power. However, regarding this plan, the Spirit Controller must be in opposition, but helplessly lacking in power, thus unable to take any effective measures to stop it. It’s possible that, in the million years before Wukong, others like him were tasked with executing the Underworld God Army during the Spirit Controller’s governance of the Patrolling Celestial World.

Although he didn’t know what became of those people, their fate surely wasn’t good, which is why the numbers of the Underworld God Army had been decreasing over these million years. Assuming all these ideas were correct, Sun Wukong speculated that the Spirit Controller was likely at odds with the Heavenly Patrollers. If that were the case, wouldn’t his World Suppressing Stele from the Three Thousand Barren Soil no. 3, an item forbidden by the Patrolling Celestial World, no longer be taboo in front of the Spirit Controller?

So many guesses and ideas flashed through Sun Wukong’s mind in an instant, and after receiving permission from the Spirit Controller, Wukong finally prepared to act. The gains from this encounter far exceeded his expectations, and although he was now caught in an unknown vortex, it was still better than knowing nothing at all.

Giving Ye Zi a look, he signaled him not to make a move. Gradually turning around, Sun Wukong’s desire for battle surged like never before. It was well known that Sun Wukong was warlike, but ever since he had entered the Patrolling Celestial World, all the opponents he had encountered were either too weak or too strong to contend with. Even when facing evenly matched foes, he couldn’t unleash his full strength due to various constraints. Even against Bai Yi from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm and Luo Chen from the Genesis Divine Nation, Sun Wukong hadn’t used all his might.

Thinking of Luo Chen, Sun Wukong’s mind stirred. Last time, Jue Luan from the Genesis Divine Nation said that Luo Chen had disappeared, and it seems now that it must be tied to the Underworld God Army. If the little monkey can recover later and after he has rested well, I must ask him about it; otherwise, if we accidentally kill Luo Chen in a future battle against the Underworld God Army, that would not be good. Watching the green-armored figure the little monkey had transformed into, his hands flashed with a green light, and a green long spear appeared in his grasp. Feeling the threat emanating from the green long spear, Sun Wukong took a deep breath, also gradually calming his mind.

In fact, Sun Wukong had a significant issue now, which was that he had too many techniques at his disposal. Moreover, he had never really had time to retreat and contemplate how to use and combine these techniques to unleash their greatest potential. Even after returning from the Fangcun Palace last time, Sun Wukong’s retreat was more about getting his body to adapt to the changes after achieving the Five Elements Balance. The Seal Heavenly Stamp, the Nine Decisions, the Chaos Five Decisions, the Five Elements Balance, the Spatial Divine Power Reset, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Great Flood Banner received from Yue Huangquan, the Spatial Sand re-refined by himself, the abilities realized from the Divine Bead that had absorbed the Saint Armor Turtle, the Three Thousand Wasteland Soil and Desolate Sand within the World Suppressing Stele, the Thunder Pond in the Golden Hoop Rod that could refine everything, and even the Great Formation of the Circumpolar Stars carried by the Wasteland Soil Stele. Even with the Wasteland Soil Stele, Sun Wukong’s usage was only preliminary at best, with the World Suppressing Stele, he hadn’t even tapped into its world-suppressing power.

Additionally, there was the use of the Primordial Earth within the Wasteland Soil Stele, the application of the Mountain of World Suppression and Desolate Sand Sea, the Five-Colored Divine Stone within his body, and the Wonderful Bodhi Tree. It could be said that Sun Wukong had no problem using each of these abilities, techniques, or magic treasures individually, of course, excluding the World Suppressing Stele, which was not so easily used.

Although using them individually posed no issue, such usage was completely wasteful. These abilities that could be deemed Divine Skills, and those magic treasures that could be considered Supreme Treasures, could tremendously boost their power if combined. For instance, if Sun Wukong could enhance his control over the Twelve Ancestral Witches and then summon the Nine Decisions Vajra Ape to form the Great Formation of the Circumpolar Stars together, the combat power they could exert would far exceed the simple sum of their parts. Moreover, if he could combine the Seal Heavenly Stamp with the Mountain of World Suppression, then the moment the Mountain of World Suppression was deployed, wouldn’t it mean destruction for whoever he desired? That would eliminate the problem of the Mountain of World Suppression being too slow to hit its target.

Knowing this principle, but not having the time to contemplate and comprehend it, left Sun Wukong feeling as if something were stuck in his throat during every battle. Many times, he had his next move planned, but due to his lack of proficiency in transitioning between techniques or the inability to switch quickly, he missed opportunities. And now, facing the green-armored figure, Sun Wukong felt a threat he had never experienced before.

Clasping the Golden Hoop tightly in both hands, the first thing Sun Wukong did was not to enter the Chaos Giant Transformation State but to immediately employ the sixth principle among the Nine Decisions—Six Principles for perception, i.e., the Heaven and Earth Dao Eye. He merged the Heaven and Earth Dao Eye directly into his fiery eyes. The perfect fusion of the Heaven and Earth Dao Eye and his fiery eyes caused some change in Sun Wukong’s eyes, which he then referred to as the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes.

Next, he sacrificed the Wonderful Bodhi Tree, which he then merged back into his body. Previously, the Wonderful Bodhi Tree had been immersed in Sun Wukong’s Dantian, but this time, after being sacrificed and merged, it integrated into his flesh. Subsequently, he stimulated the Five-Colored Divine Stone and started to swirl all the spiritual power that balanced the Five Elements in his body wildly around the Five-Colored Divine Stone. With his increased cultivation strength, Sun Wukong realized that the Five-Colored Divine Stone was not as simple as the legends described.

Only after all this did Sun Wukong enter the Chaos Giant Transformation State. This time, a faint green glow surrounded his body, likely the halo from the merger with the Wonderful Bodhi Tree. His right hand made a lifting motion in the void, and the third Wasteland Soil of the World Suppressing Stele appeared. The Three Thousand Wasteland Soil quickly formed a set of ancient yellow armor on Sun Wukong’s body, and the Desolate Sand twined around the Golden Hoop Staff. Finally, with a retraction and a flick of his left hand, one hundred and eight li of Spatial Sand reappeared surrounding the green-armored figure. Stay tuned to novelbuddy

Finally ready, but as soon as Sun Wukong lifted his head, he felt a blur before his eyes. Then a formidable force hit his abdomen, and looking again, Sun Wukong was already being kicked flying by the green-armored figure!
