Great Demon Sun Wukong

The situation has come to a point where, whether it's Xi Zhao, Ling Weiyang or Sun Wukong, Dao Zhun, all are out of options. Of course, Ling Weiyang could actually undergo another evolution of his true body, but because of the tremendous risk, he has been hesitating. This might be the last variable on their side. As both sides had laid all their cards on the table, the final victory seemed even more difficult to achieve.

Actually, on the side of the Spirit Controllers, there were still two hidden cards yet to be played. The first one involved Wu Ming and Hei Kui, two of the four ferocious beasts from the Patrolling Celestial World from long ago, who had been subordinates of the Spirit Controllers. It could be said that the Spirit Controllers had provided considerable covert support for their cultivation and achievements. Initially, they were intended to be a force of surprise, but after meeting Sun Wukong and spending some time with him, both Hei Kui and Wu Ming's hearts had experienced subtle changes—particularly Wu Ming, who, despite seeming unreliable, held his own strong convictions.

These convictions exploded instantaneously after Hidden Mountain was killed by the controlled Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon of Xi Zhao. After weighing his options between the Spirit Controllers and Sun Wukong, Hei Kui decisively chose Sun Wukong. Although their interaction with Sun Wukong was brief, they saw potential and miracles in him. Moreover, Hei Kui did not wish to abandon his brother, Wu Ming. As such, they both directly abandoned the mission assigned by the Spirit Controllers. After Wu Ming had left, Hei Kui struggled to his feet and flew away in a different direction.

Therefore, the Spirit Controller's first hidden card was rendered useless. However, his second hidden card began to play its role—Ming Tiekuang. Originally a member of the Underworld God Army, Ming Tiekuang had submitted to the Spirit Controllers after the ancient war and had become his most loyal subordinate. Previously, Ming Tiekuang's task was to monitor Sun Wukong and covertly help the Spirit Controllers with some minor tasks. Now that the Spirit Controllers had blatantly revealed their identity, Ming Tiekuang no longer needed to hide.

So, as Rogue Heart Sword Hero and others fearlessly took on the terrifying blast of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon for Dao Zhun, Ming Tiekuang quietly concealed his presence, and with his unmatched speed, he left everyone's sight. And now, Ming Tiekuang reappeared at the location where Xi Zhao had previously summoned the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent and, more precisely, where Xi Zhao had controlled the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon to attack.

Ming Tiekuang's target, indeed, was the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon. His own strength was formidable, yet to turn the tide of the battle with his strength alone seemed beyond his reach, making the cannon his best choice. Ming Tiekuang was well aware of the cannon's power; a full force strike would definitely injure even those in the Heavenly Venerate Realm. And for those below Heavenly Venerate, it would be a certain kill.

"Hey, little guy, weren't you unsatisfied? Come on, today I'll let you have your fill as long as you let me choose the target. You can fire as powerful as you want, as many times as you decide," said Ming Tiekuang, standing behind the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, his face suddenly showing a manic expression. The little Thunder Cannon, which had gone silent after Xi Zhao's shot, trembled upon hearing Ming Tiekuang's words. The temptation was significant for it, despite Xi Zhao's warning that firing at full power would draw the attention of the Law Enforcers, and that would mean its destruction.

But just now, Xi Zhao had fired it without any consequences, and Ming Tiekuang told it that the Patrolling Celestial World was now completely sealed off by a Great Formation, ensuring that no matter how many shots it fired, the outside world would remain oblivious. Persuaded by these assurances, the little Thunder Cannon readily agreed, its eyes revealing an even crazier look. Placing his hands on the back of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, Ming Tiekuang suddenly asked, "Thunder Cannon, what's the most powerful attack you can launch right now?"

The little Thunder Cannon humanely hesitated before replying, "With sufficient Spiritual Power and charging time, I can deliver a strike three times more powerful than one at full capacity. Such an attack would certainly spell death for a Heavenly Venerate without any defenses. However, after firing this shot, I would need a thousand years to recover." After the little Thunder Cannon finished speaking, Ming Tiekuang became excited.

He could not believe that the Thunder Cannon was so powerful; it was beyond his expectations. He had thought that a Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, not yet in its complete form, would at best be able to injure someone at the Heavenly Venerate Realm. But to his astonishment, the little Thunder Cannon presented him with such a surprise. Suppressing the excitement within, Spiritual Power surged wildly from within him into the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon.

"Come on, unleash your greatest strength. I'll provide you with ample Spiritual Power. I hope you won't disappoint me and will take down a Heavenly Venerate in one hit," said Ming Tiekuang. The little Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon did not respond, for at that moment it was equally thrilled. Though it required a millennium to recover from a single strike, the opportunity to bring down a Heavenly Venerate was worth it. Its predecessors, since their creation and awakening of Spiritual Wisdom, had never had a chance to go wild like this. Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, like the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent, was born for destruction.

Meanwhile, the second battle between Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao had also begun. This time, their battle was much more intense, though their main goal was still to defeat the other. It was indeed a strange fight; neither could kill the other because of the connection through the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit—if one died, the other would follow. Yet they couldn't refrain from battling, so the eventual aim was to defeat the opponent, rendering them unable to fight but without killing them.

Xi Zhao and Sun Wukong can definitely be said to be the worst of opponents.

After once again taking a kick from Sun Wukong and retreating, Xi Zhao suddenly spoke, "Sun Wukong, that's all you're capable of. With such strength, you cannot change anything, nor can you stop anything. In the end, you know? Your fate will be the same as those others, turned into a handful of yellow sand." As he spoke, the Formless Vanishing in Xi Zhao's hand, originally azure, had now turned pitch black. The rolling Demonic Qi combined with extreme Ice Frost Power filled the entire underground space with bitter cold.

Flipping in mid-air, Wukong landed on his feet, and at the same time, an ice spike suddenly protruded from under his feet. Sun Wukong's Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes had always been wide open, and he sensed the appearance of the ice spike the moment it emerged, promptly somersaulting to dodge it. However, before Sun Wukong's somersault was complete, Xi Zhao suddenly appeared on top of the ice spike, his black Twin Rings swinging towards Sun Wukong's waist.

But Xi Zhao's attack missed its mark. With the powerful time-space Spell of resetting, Sun Wukong was almost in an unbeatable position. Feeling the murderous intent behind Xi Zhao's last strike, Wukong finally made up his mind. If they continue to fight tepidly like this, not to mention a Chinese Hour, even three days and three nights would not yield a victor, and Wukong could not afford to waste any more time. Therefore, with a hardened heart, Sun Wukong made his decision.

"Xi Zhao, there's no point in us continuing to fight like this. Let's decide the outcome with one move, life or death, all by fate," Sun Wukong said, and without waiting for Xi Zhao to agree, his body slowly levitated. Using the Fourth Layer Realm of the Seal Heavenly Stamp, he locked heaven and earth with his Divine Sense. The Fifth Form of Chaos Five Decisions, Heaven and Earth be mine. At this moment, Sun Wukong finally decided to use this move. Perhaps he is the only person in the current universe who could wield this technique.

Even Xiao He, the Domain Lord of the Genesis Divine Nation, couldn't use this technique, although he does possess the potential to do so. As previously mentioned, it has always been a taboo in the Genesis Divine Nation that no one, no matter who they are, should cultivate both the Seal Heavenly Stamp and the Chaos Five Decisions simultaneously. And indeed, for the past million years, there hasn't been a report of anyone mastering these two Spells at the same time. Nevertheless, Xiao He is an exception.

As the Domain Lord patrolling the Celestial World, Xiao He must practice the Seal Heavenly Stamp, and he is quite gifted in it, having reached not only the Third Layer Realm but also the verge of the Fourth Layer Realm. However, Xiao He also practices the Chaos Five Decisions. This fact, though, is top secret, known only to a few at the top echelons of the Genesis Divine Nation, and Xiao He has never revealed that he can use the Chaos Five Decisions.

However, Xiao He merely possesses both Spells; unlike Sun Wukong, he has never attempted nor considered fusing the two into one.

Feeling the intense pressure emanating from Sun Wukong, Xi Zhao's face underwent several changes. To be honest, he did not wish to clash head-to-head with Sun Wukong, because his task was to hold Sun Wukong off and maintain his maximum Combat Power. Xi Zhao was not foolish; in his cooperation with the Spirit Controller, Xi Zhao had deep suspicions. The purpose of the Spirit Controller was clear to him—to eliminate those seven Law Enforcers so that he alone could be the ruler. Under such circumstances, the existence of Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang might very well become his stumbling blocks.

Both Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang knew this very well, which is why Ling Weiyang was reluctant to use his strongest state. If he were to fight Sha Wujing and evolve into a Purple Gold Kirin, his own losses would not be light after defeating Sha Wujing. If the Spirit Controller took advantage of this situation to attack him, then his chances of survival would be slim. Xi Zhao was in a similar situation; should he suffer too much loss in the fight with Sun Wukong, once everything was over, he would lose the qualifications to stand on the same level as the Spirit Controller, and that would be the time he was disposed of.

Yet, Sun Wukong was truly throwing caution to the wind, preparing a strike that invoked terror in him. Had this monkey gone mad? Did he not realize that killing him would also lead to his own death?

But regardless, Xi Zhao could not possibly brace for this attack. Thus, gritting his teeth, Xi Zhao also initiated his most powerful strike. (To be continued.
