Great Demon Sun Wukong

Dao Zhun, although having gestured for the other two to be silent, couldn't stop himself from speaking out when Soul Devouring Monk burst into the scene and laid eyes on him first. Dao Zhun had previously almost annihilated every person from the Ancient Primordial World. Though Dao Zhun did not directly kill the people of the Ancient Primordial World, by dissipating their cultivation and banishing them to a minor world, the result was barely distinguishable from death. Therefore, the Soul Devouring Monk harbored deep-seated hatred for Dao Zhun. In an instant, a black vortex appeared in the palm of his right hand, and with a swift motion, his right palm moved towards Dao Zhun's chest.

After Dao Zhun had slain so many of his fellow disciples and then confined him within a peculiar space, the anger and hatred in Soul Devourer's heart had driven him to forget the terror that Dao Zhun represented. When Dao Zhun saw the wrathful palm strike from the Soul Devouring Monk, he didn't show the slightest intention to dodge; instead, he stared at the monk and in a low voice said, "If you wish for the Ancient Primordial World to become a Divine Kingdom, you had best stop your hand." Though Dao Zhun deliberately lowered his voice, the Soul Devouring Monk could hear him very clearly.

However, consumed by hatred at that moment, even though he was surprised by Dao Zhun's words, the attack of his hand did not cease. But in the next moment, his movement abruptly stopped, and the palm with the black vortex was only a palm's distance away from Dao Zhun's chest. The reason the Soul Devouring Monk suddenly ceased his attack wasn't that he was persuaded by Dao Zhun's words, rather it was due to the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's sudden appearance at his side, with a milky-white, light-transmitting long-sword already placed across the Soul Devouring Monk's neck. Moreover, the sharp edge of the blade had already cut through the monk's skin, leaving a visible trail of blood.

If Soul Devourer had moved even a fraction more, Rogue Heart Sword Hero's Demon-breaking Slash, which had been transformed into the Light Attribute, would have unquestionably severed the monk's head. Thus, although the Soul Devouring Monk still longed to kill Dao Zhun, he dared not gamble with his life. As long as he was alive, there was always hope for revenge. Dead, he would have nothing. Dao Zhun gave Rogue Heart Sword Hero a glance and said, "Truly the most prized disciple of the Supreme Sword Sovereign, marvelous in assessing the situation and seizing the moment to perfection."

Then, turning to the Soul Devouring Monk, he continued, "I have no intent to kill you or others, both previously and now. Had it not been for my taking you into my world, by now you would have perished. Given the urgent situation, I will get straight to the point. Soul Devouring Monk, you must now be aware of your predicament. Your ally, Myriad Demons Country, has completely betrayed you, and I can also tell you that the Annihilation Demon Nation is finished; those lunatics detonated the World Suppressing Stele within the Annihilation Palace, so Annihilation has been eliminated. As for the Ancient Primordial World, only a few of you survive, meaning it exists in name only!"

Seeing uncertainty flicker in the eyes of the Soul Devouring Monk, Dao Zhun pressed on, "Given my status, naturally, I have no need to deceive you. The Ancient Primordial, including those who stayed behind, likely numbers fewer than ten. The only option for survival now is to join with us. There are no eternal enemies. On our side, we have only five forces; together with your Ancient Primordial, that makes six. If our six forces unite and defeat Myriad Demons, the new Six Great Divine Nations will be established. So, if you combine with us, your Ancient Primordial can become a new Divine Kingdom; otherwise, you face complete annihilation!"

Dao Zhun had made his point abundantly clear. The alliance of Myriad Demons, Annihilation, and the Ancient Primordial, in addition to the Underworld God Army, indeed possessed the capital to contend with the Netherworld Alliance Army. However, now that Myriad Demons Country had chosen to ally solely with the Underworld God Army and aimed to wipe out the other seven forces, and with Annihilation already out of the picture and the Ancient Primordial World teetering on the brink, the attempt to negotiate with the tiger would lead to annihilation if not enough strength was present, with Annihilation Demon Nation serving as the perfect example.

At this time, Mo Wu, Mo Weasel, and Wan Jun were still inside Dao Zhun's Mystic Space. The moment Dao Zhun released them, they would immediately be sent back to the Annihilation Demon Nation. The reason he hadn't released them yet was that they were still of use; Dao Zhun needed to employ Mo Wu and Mo Weasel to confirm whether the sleeper agent in the Netherworld was indeed the person he suspected. Otherwise, Dao Zhun would prefer to keep everyone inside. Even at the risk of falling out with Yue Huangquan, Dao Zhun wouldn't leave such a dangerous individual at Sun Wukong's side.

And for Wan Jun, Dao Zhun had his own plans. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

After several deep breaths, the Soul Devouring Monk finally spoke, "We can ally with you, but you must ensure that our Ancient Primordial World becomes a new Divine Kingdom, even if it is the last-ranked!" Dao Zhun nodded. Being naturally aware of Dao Zhun's status, the Soul Devouring Monk knew that someone of his standing would not deign to deceive him. Dao Zhun's promise was more reliable than anyone else's.

"Good, since it is so, Rogue Heart, put down your sword. By the way, once the affairs here are settled, I will talk to you about your fellow disciple, Wan Jun. He is also in my space right now." To avoid conflict among those within, Dao Zhun had separated the individuals, placing each power in its own location, which meant that no one inside knew who else might be present in the space.
