Great Demon Sun Wukong

After White Dragon had appeared, he did not immediately take action. Instead, he looked at the several areas in fierce battle and scratched his head, saying, "Big brother, let's just forget it. I can't even see these people's movements clearly, let alone hit them!" White Dragon was merely at the peak of Dao Transformation, not yet having broken through the Dao Patterns. Whether it was the Nine Kirin or the Sword Heroes, they were all super-powerhouses. The gap between them was indeed too big. Wukong had momentarily forgotten about this. With an embarrassed smile, Wukong sent White Dragon back.

Nevertheless, it was fine. Since White Dragon could not make a move, Wukong would take matters into his own hands. He simply couldn't believe that with sufficient time, his many methods would not be able to take care of a few Kirin. At this time, the situation in the battle had once again undergone a significant change. After Hei Kui had donned a set of Supreme Divine Artifacts, his combat power surged. While facing three opponents, he was still fighting with the wind at his back, and all three of his enemies had sustained injuries. On the other hand, things were quite miserable for Flame God, who had been initially wrapped in the Exploding Phoenix fire, but now only a bit remained on his arms after being devoured by the flame-addicted. Yet, Flame God didn't retreat in the slightest. Instead, his eyes were blood-red, filled with an obsession for madness.

At the beginning of the battle, Flame God had planned to use the Burst Phoenix Clan's unique ability, which was to produce violent explosions through the use of fire. However, before he could use this ability, he found that his own flames were being devoured by someone else. To Flame God, this was a great insult, even more humiliating than having someone step on his head. Moreover, the fire-devouring ability turned out to be stronger than Flame God's own, making it seem effortless to consume the Phoenix Burst Flame, which was a fusion of three tyrannical flames. This was something that Flame God could not accept by any means. Thus, enraged, Flame God abandoned some of his moves and fought solely with the Phoenix Burst Flame, which resulted in the current severe depletion of his fire.

"A plucked wild chicken, haha, Flame God, keep fighting and you're definitely on a path to death. I'll give you a chance now, return to Myriad Demons Country. How about it? The ones who persecuted your Burst Phoenix Clan have all died, not a single one is left. Your great vengeance is avenged. After all, you are one of us from Myriad Demons Country. How about it, come back. Following Lord Ling Weiyang, let us create a new world together!" Flame God could guess some of the changes within Myriad Demons Country. That's because he and Hei Kui were the ones who had eliminated Hidden Realm, and with the death of Hidden Realm, Ling Weiyang would have surely launched a coup. By now, Myriad Demons Country was probably completely under the rule of Ling Weiyang. So, as it turned out, the words of the flame-addicted were not wrong!

Indeed, it was Hidden Realm that had ordered the eradication of the Burst Phoenix Clan. At that time, Ling Weiyang didn't participate much. However, Flame God also didn't have a good impression of Ling Weiyang. Even if he wasn't in cahoots with Hidden Realm, they were of the same ilk, with little difference. Glancing at Wukong, Flame God's heart hardened. "I'm willing to return, but let Ling Weiyang personally come to beg me. As long as he kneels and kowtows three times, I will go back!"

"Stubborn and ungrateful, I, Shenyi, must capture Wukong alive today, but you are not necessary. Since you're so unappreciative, there's no use keeping you around!" Flame God suddenly asked, "Wait, why does the monkey have to be caught alive? Why can't we?" Flame God asked this question purely to buy time. Unexpectedly, the flame-addicted actually answered, probably because in his eyes, Flame God was as good as dead. "Wukong and Xi Zhao are connected by life, if he dies, so does Xi Zhao. That's why he must be captured alive!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Flame God's face revealed a very strange expression, saying, "Don't you know that Wukong, Xi Zhao, and I are the same? If I die, your Xi Zhao will be no better off!" Flame God's words were, of course, true; the three of them had consumed the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit together. However, Shenyi did not know this because Xi Zhao had only mentioned Wukong and did not bring up Flame God, so naturally, Shenyi would not easily believe Flame God. If anyone who claimed such a thing were believed in the future, there'd be no need to fight at all.

"Enough with your nonsense, Flame God. I have limited patience. Now, you may go die!" Flame God saw the fury on Shenyi's face, but only chuckled, "Your grandpa Flame God has a big life. I didn't die before, and today will be no different. On the contrary, it's you who will die. Dare to devour my flame, you're truly seeking death!" With that said, Flame God pointed at Shenyi, who was charging at him again, and whispered softly, "Explode now, ignorant fool!" Following Flame God's words, a look of utter terror appeared on Shenyi's face, and then his body suddenly began to inflate. With a disbelieving cry from Shenyi, his body exploded with a bang!

"No, impossible, how could there be a fire that I cannot digest..." Unfortunately, he would never get an answer to this question. What was the Flame God's greatest ability? If it had been before, it would definitely have been his powerful flame ability and that Strange Saber, the Exploding Phoenix. But now, the Flame God's greatest ability was the original power of their Burst Phoenix Clan, explosion, everything can burst! And he had Dao Zhun to thank for it—if it hadn't been for Dao Zhun letting the Flame God observe and comprehend the combat of Bao Tianfeng, the Burst Phoenix Clan's progenitor, the Flame God would still be at the same stage as he used to be!

The moment the Flame God exploded the Devouring Flame, the battle involving the Rogue Heart Sword Hero was also nearing its end. The Rogue Heart Sword Hero felt an overwhelming pressure after the Nether Mirror and Ling Weiyang elevated themselves to Half-step Heavenly Venerate. Although he too could make his movements unpredictable with the Power of the Stars, all of his attacks were evaded by the Nether Mirror and Ling Weiyang, who had also begun to counterattack. The Nether Mirror's power of the Kirin resides entirely in the character 'mirror'. Earlier, in the cave, when the Nether Mirror transformed into Sun Wukong's appearance, even Sun Wukong's Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes couldn't see through it. This was because the Nether Mirror, being a Kirin, was effectively a mirror. Sun Wukong saw only himself in the mirror, which he naturally couldn't see through.

At this point, after overpowering the Sword Hero in cultivation, the Kirin of the mirror started to fully display his potent abilities. As soon as the Sword Hero laid eyes on the Nether Mirror, he would see himself, not as he was now but as he was in the past. He saw himself as he was when studying under the Supreme Sword Sovereign. This greatly affected the Sword Hero because those memories were the most beautiful yet also the most cruel of his life. Thus, the Sword Hero dared not look at the Nether Mirror, and without looking, his attacks were almost bound to miss, because the Nether Mirror's ability could even reflect Divine Sense.

Just the Nether Mirror had the Sword Hero at a severe disadvantage, and then there was Ling Weiyang, who wasn't particularly skilled in combat. But when the Sword Hero was entangled and preoccupied by the Nether Mirror, Ling Weiyang took full advantage of his strengths. Ling Weiyang, the Meteor Kirin, derived his power from meteors, the celestial bodies, just as his name suggested. The power of meteors gave Ling Weiyang an explosive force and speed in an instant. Normally, Ling Weiyang showed no particular distinguishing features with mediocre attack and defense. But once he entered his combat state, he became an absolute nightmare. Ling Weiyang had been praised by Ling Weiyang as a peak assassin surpassing even the Evil Monarch because of his instantaneous burst and speed. And during the first moment the Sword Hero was distracted and disoriented by the Nether Mirror's illusion, he received Ling Weiyang's attack. Instantly, the Sword Hero moved subconsciously, only to feel a sharp pain in his left chest.

Had it not been for years of battle and the transformation his body underwent by absorbing the Power of the Stars, he probably would have been killed by that attack. Yet, even so, a massive wound was slashed across the left side of his chest, significantly affecting his combat power. Now, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero was at a severe disadvantage, and after that one strike, Ling Weiyang disappeared again, with even the Nether Mirror unaware of his whereabouts.

In such a situation, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero had no choice but to swallow an Elixir that he had been keeping in his mouth! (To be continued.
