Great Demon Sun Wukong

As the changes occurred, the soul body that had been hit by Sun Wukong's Life Baptism from the Chaos Five Decisions' Third Form was also transforming. After being struck by the baptism, Lin Hunti had been enveloped in thick, pure life force, but now as the Dragon Emperor's Golden Holy Dragon fully materialized, the soul body let out a cheer as if reborn. Under the watchful gaze of everyone, the dense life energy was rapidly absorbed, and then a fully naked middle-aged man unexpectedly appeared.

Upon the man's appearance, Sun Wukong was also startled, seemingly not expecting such a transformation. Not just Wukong, but the little monkey, Ye Zi, Dragon Emperor, and even the Spirit Controller, who had always seemed calm, exhibited varying degrees of surprise. For nothing else but the fact that the previous soul body had now turned into a living, breathing person. Yes, into a person, a real flesh and blood person.

The man who had transformed from a soul body was equally astonished by his change. However, as he slowly checked his own body, a surge of indescribable ecstasy spread through his heart. What was even more peculiar was that, while the others knew of his inner joy from the incredulous expression on his face, Sun Wukong instantly felt all of the man's emotions. That, in fact, was the main reason Wukong was taken aback.

After his self-examination, the man managed to suppress his joy and with a single pat on his arm, a set of armor appeared covering his naked body. Then, with a few steps, he flashed in front of Sun Wukong. Seeing the man charging straight at Wukong, the little monkey didn't hesitate to transform into a yellow beam and rushed forward, despite Wukong making no move to react.

But Sun Wukong's voice suddenly rang out, "Back off, it's okay, he won't harm me." As if to prove Wukong's words, the man immediately fell to his knees before him and then kowtowed nine times before saying, "Thank you, benefactor, for your rebirth. I, Ming Tiekuang, may not be a gentleman, but I dare not forget this favor. I ask only for your shelter and a chance to repay this great debt by your side!"

After speaking, the self-proclaimed Ming Tiekuang had his head knocked to the floor, as if he wouldn't raise his head until Wukong agreed. Now, Sun Wukong was utterly dumbfounded. What was this? Was he offering to be his subordinate? But, but, what was really going on? His move hadn't killed the opponent; instead, it had produced a living person who then immediately kowtowed nine times and asked to join him?

Sun Wukong felt his brain swirling in confusion and didn't immediately respond to Ming Tiekuang's words. Instead, he suddenly looked up and called out loudly to the Spirit Controller sitting on the azure throne, "Hey, can we take a break? I have something to deal with here, can we continue the fight later?" No sooner had Wukong's words left his mouth than the little monkey and Ye Zi behind him fell face-first to the ground, both covering their faces in a "don't embarrass me" manner.

Long Lie, now in the form of a Golden Holy Dragon, almost choked on his breath in disbelief. What did this mean? Could a battle really be put on hold? And what almost made Long Lie fall out of the sky was that the Spirit Controller actually nodded nonchalantly as though interested, saying, "Sure, but make it quick, I've got things to do later!" Their demeanor was akin to old friends casually saying, "Wait for me while I use the restroom," as if it were the most normal and simple exchange.

But if anyone thought this was normal, they would seriously be out of their mind. One was a Spirit Controller, one of the most powerful Law Enforcers of the entire cosmos, holding a status definitely above the Domain Lords of the Six Great Divine Nations. The other was an unknown figure with not even Domain Lord Level cultivation. And yet, these two individuals, vastly different in status and strength, were conversing as equals. If people found out, they would surely be shocked to death.

Having received the Spirit Controller's consent, Sun Wukong then looked down at Ming Tiekuang, who still knelt before him, and asked, "Shelter you? For what use?" Ming Tiekuang replied without lifting his head, but very respectfully, "Benefactor, although I am currently only at the Supreme Peak level, give me time, and I'm certain my strength can rapidly increase. I should be able to become your most useful fighter. Moreover, I possess vast knowledge and many ancient secrets, so I should be quite useful to you!"

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Alright then, follow me from now on. But you don't have to take action later; otherwise, you'll die!" The little monkey had just gotten up but now felt unsteady again. Ling Ming was agreeing too easily, right? Did he know who this man was? Just like that, allowing someone of dubious origin to stay by his side? It was obvious this person was the soul released by the Spirit Controller who, after receiving Wukong's immense life force, had undergone some unexpected changes and resurrected. Who knew if this was part of the Spirit Controller's plan? No matter how you looked at it, it couldn't be so simple to let this stranger into the fold.

It seemed that Sun Wukong sensed the little monkey had something to say and quickly gave him a look, signaling him not to speak. Ye Zi did not catch Wukong's glance and was about to ask a question, but the little monkey stopped him. Although the little monkey had not been in touch with Wukong for long since their reunion, he knew Wukong was not one to act without understanding the situation; his actions must have a purpose. Restricted by the little monkey, Ye Zi, full of curiosity, nevertheless did not speak.

With an almost imperceptible nod to the little monkey, Wukong then helped Ming Tiekuang to his feet, patted his shoulder, and gestured for him to stand behind him. Ming Tiekuang had great respect for Wukong and, without any question, moved to stand behind him, deliberately positioning himself half a step behind the little monkey and Ye Zi.

"Alright, let's get started. How are we going to do this? Both of us against you, or should I and he take turns?" Wukong asked, holding the Jingu Bang, his tone neither servile nor overbearing, as he addressed the Spirit Controller who sat smiling on the green throne. The Dragon Emperor, from the beginning to the end, had not spoken or made any movement, floating in midair, neither attacking nor showing any laxity. As the ancestor of the Dragon Race in Patrolling Celestial World, the Dragon Emperor was not of a rash disposition; on the contrary, his schemes were unfathomably deep.

Ever since Wukong had eliminated five soul bodies with his stark and potent combat power and took control of one, the Dragon Emperor stopped his actions and quietly observed the unfolding events. At this moment, he too harbored many uncertainties, but as perceptive as he was, knew it was not the right time to ask questions. He had been keeping an eye on the interactions between Wukong and the Spirit Controller, and it was precisely the shift in the latter's expression that rekindled hope in the Dragon Emperor's heart, which had been prepared for certain death. He realized that these three newly arrived individuals could be the turning point he was looking for.

Because even when Wukong had asked the Spirit Controller to pause for a moment, the Dragon Emperor remained motionless. Up to now, he knew he hadn't misjudged – this individual, although only at Supreme Peak cultivation level but with exceptional combat power, might very well be an ally. Although he did not believe that he and Wukong teaming up would be enough to overcome the Spirit Controller, he couldn't shake the feeling that today he might not have to die.

The Spirit Controller still had a smile on his face as he glanced at the Dragon Emperor above, then back at Wukong, and lightly laughed, "This is too interesting. To think that one could wield the Chaotic Power so adeptly. Although you're not from the Chaotic Giant Clan, you're nearly surpassing them. Even I must commend you. Using pure life force to resurrect a soul that's been dead for who knows how many years into a person is practically touching an endpoint technique. It's just a pity that your own strength is too weak; otherwise, you could have been a considerable opponent."

After finishing, the Spirit Controller's gaze suddenly skipped over Wukong and looked towards the little monkey behind him. However, Wukong subtly shifted a step, rather coincidentally blocking the little monkey from the Spirit Controller's view. Although his figure was obscured by Wukong, the little monkey's body still shuddered, and a trace of struggle appeared in his eyes.

The Spirit Controller, although blocked by Wukong, did not get angry, but the interest in his eyes intensified once more, "You truly surprise me. A mere being from a lower domain possesses several profound divine skills, and you've cultivated them to near Great Perfection. I really wonder how you managed to cultivate. And Loch Ness has a pair of fine eyes, indeed. But with your current strength, you're utterly incapable of withstanding even a flick of my finger. Therefore, to give you a fair fight, I think it's better to choose an opponent whose strength is about equal to yours."

As soon as the words of the Spirit Controller fell, Wukong's brow furrowed tightly, and a bad feeling instantly spread through his heart.

And at that moment, the Spirit Controller's voice rang out again, "As my doppelganger, you have slept long enough. Is it not time to awaken swiftly?"
