God's Domain.
Sanctuary Hall.
Seated upon the dazzling, majestic Gold Throne, the God's Eye Great Elder's figure was imposing, his aura astonishing, and his seven eyes flickering with anger.
"Despicable monkey, you are truly seeking death!"
The slender fingers of the God's Eye Great Elder curled sharply as he clenched the armrest of the throne, fracturing a corner of the Gold Throne.
Below, the five Sage Sovereigns of the God Clan gathered.
Sage Sovereign Xu Feng.
Handsome with three eyes, he appeared casual and languid. He always approached battles with a calm, peaceful, and even playful mindset, yet his strength was formidable. He possessed the Divine Power of All Aspects - Aspect of Storm. This power enabled him to control mighty tornadoes and even create vacuums by withdrawing air, making it exceedingly terrifying.
Sage Sovereign Tian Wu.
Clad in armor, his figure was tall and robust, a standard warrior of God's Domain, born to guard the dignity of the God Clan. He wielded the Divine Power of All Aspects - Wrath of the Earth, which caused ground-shattering tremors. The force emanating from the epicenter spread in all directions like the surge of waves, sweeping away anything in its path. Those caught in its wake were fiercely shaken to their core; though not outwardly wounded, their delicate internal organs were critically damaged.
Sage Sovereign Purple Sun boasted a robust physique, magnificent as the radiant sun, and shared a body with his brother, Sage Lan Yue. When their personalities would switch was wholly unpredictable, quite bizarre. Sage Lan Yue could control multiple divine powers simultaneously: the Vajra World Divine Power, Divine Power in the Realm of Emptiness, and Colorless Divine Power. He had a crazed, bloodthirsty, and defiant disposition. For disregarding the laws of the God Clan, he was sealed and imprisoned atop Crystal Mountain by the God's Eye, his sentence to last forever.
Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan.
Known as the "Peak of Perfection - Holiest among Gods," he had not held any Great God positions and was instead directly promoted to Sage Sovereign. He possessed the Divine Power of Longevity. Like an ascetic monk, his form was large and commanding, his presence as steadfast as a mountain. Also, his wise eyes imparted a sense of transcendence, as if "while the world is drunk, I alone am sober."
Last was Sage Sovereign Bai Lian.
At this moment, Sage Sovereign Bai Lian's face was frosty as he furiously said, "This despicable monkey dares to slay a Great God of our God Clan and challenge the Grand Elder! He is truly ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth!"
"I implore the Grand Elder to open the portal and send me there!"
"I want to personally twist off his monkey head!"
Sage Sovereign Bai Lian was narrow-minded and especially looked down upon the Human Race and others. Like Great God Gui Mu, he also possessed the Earth Store World Divine Power, with the ability to manipulate the corruptive power of darkness. His skin was terrifyingly sallow and devoid of blood, and his clothes were adorned with Blood Lotus patterns. He possessed a ghastly charm, as if he hailed from Hell, an Evil Spirit.
"This despicable monkey is capable of killing a Great God with a single blow; he's no weakling. And there are Ming Clan rats all around!"
The God's Eye pressed down his hand; although annoyed, he did not lose his composure. Bai Lian going alone might not be able to handle King Wukong the King of Demons.
"The Grand Elder speaks true." Sage Sovereign Tian Wu nodded, his voice deep and resonant. "The majesty of the God Clan must not be challenged. I am willing to descend to the mortal realm alongside Bai Lian to exterminate all those who dare provoke us and uphold divine authority."
The God's Eye nodded slightly, saying, "What Sage Sovereign Tian Wu said is true. The majesty of the God Clan must not be challenged. This time we must eradicate them completely!"
"Therefore, I want you all to act together, leaving no chance for the provocateurs!"
The God's Eye was well aware that a single spark can start a prairie fire. Faced with a provocateur like King Wukong the King of Demons, a thunderous strike was necessary to deter all. Otherwise, the dignity of the God Clan would be no more, and hidden enemies would all emerge to overthrow the God Clan's reign.
HUM.
As he spoke, the God's Eye's Divine Power in the Realm of Emptiness surged again, constructing a light mirror.
Within the light mirror, King Wukong the King of Demons seemed to sense something. He looked up, his right hand gesturing a middle finger at the God's Eye.
Seeing this, the God's Eye Great Elder, Sage Sovereign Bai Lian, and the other powerhouses were furious. Though they might not understand the meaning behind it, they could guess it was definitely not a friendly gesture. It was an absolute provocation.
"The despicable, vile monkey! I want to scoop out his monkey brains!" Sage Sovereign Bai Lian's face darkened as he said to the God's Eye, "Grand Elder, please open the transfer gate. I can't wait to smash his monkey head!"
"Good!"
The God's Eye waved his hand, and a portal opened.
Sage Sovereign Bai Lian charged through first.
Sage Sovereign Purple Sun and Sage Sovereign Tian Wu followed close behind.
Lastly were Sage Sovereign Xu Feng and Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan. Their faces remained calm, showing no sign of anger, as if it did not concern them at all.
「Above Chaoge City.」
BOOM.
A column of light emerged, and within the blaze of gold, one majestic figure after another stepped out. The five stood side by side in midair, their feet hovering in the void. Their powerful auras intimidated all directions, striking terror into the hearts of countless creatures.
"It's the Sage Sovereigns of the God Clan!"
"Messenger Sun, be careful!" Defying Heavens warned him.
At the same time, he and the mighty warriors of the Ming Clan also reached the side of King Wukong the King of Demons.
"Is this a Sage Sovereign of the God Clan? Such a terrifying aura!" Emperor Yi looked at the five Sage Sovereigns, his face extremely solemn. He had never seen a Sage Sovereign before. The strongest of the God Clan he had encountered was Great God Tian Kui of the Dou Department.
"You lowly monkey, daring to challenge the majesty of my God Clan and kill my Great God! I will erode you bit by bit, let you wail in despair and die in agony!" Sage Sovereign Bai Lian's cold voice sounded as the Underworld Divinity - Spirit of the Dead burst forth. His divine power possessed the ability to corrupt and had extreme corrosive properties. Even the slightest scratch could be lethal. No lifeform could escape its fate of being reduced to nothingness before it.
"Spirit of the Dead Sword Art: Ten Thousand Blades Pierce the Heart!"
WHIRR.
The Spirit of the Dead that filled the surroundings condensed into dark Sword Qi, each strand possessing intense corrosiveness. The overwhelming Sword Qi tore through the air, heading straight for King Wukong the King of Demons.
Sage Sovereign Tian Wu said coldly, "It seems Bai Lian is feeling the pressure, striking with full force from the start. With this move, we should be able to see the monkey's true strength!"
Sage Sovereign Xu Feng nodded. "Who knows where this monkey came from? With such strong strength, and yet there has been no news of it before!"
Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan folded his hands together and declared, "The world is vast and full of wonders; there's always someone better. Existence is justified!"
Suddenly, Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan's complexion changed. "Not good, Bai Lian, retreat quickly!" He sensed an extremely terrifying aura erupting from King Wukong the King of Demons.
"TAKE THIS! Taste my staff!" King Wukong the King of Demons raised his Golden Cudgel and brought it down heavily.
That strike was akin to the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting, an overwhelming and irresistible force.
Facing this strike directly, Sage Sovereign Bai Lian's complexion changed dramatically. It felt as if the entire world were pressing down on him, making it impossible to move. His body seemed on the verge of being torn apart and bursting.
Too terrible! Too horrifying! Only when truly facing King Wukong the King of Demons did Sage Sovereign Bai Lian realize why Great Gods like Tian Kui had been killed in a single strike. It wasn't that they were too weak; it was that King Wukong the King of Demons was too strong. Even he possessed no power to resist.
"Nine Emptinesses Blood Lotus Pond!" Sage Sovereign Bai Lian desperately unleashed his divine power, executing his ultimate move. It was a black-red lotus pond condensed from dense Spirit of the Dead, its branches and leaves formed from virulent poisons. Both its toxicity and corrosiveness were extreme. Any life that stepped into it would be eroded and corrupted, ultimately becoming nourishment for the pond.
However, this was clearly no trouble for King Wukong the King of Demons. Sage Sovereign Bai Lian knew that. Therefore, the Nine Emptinesses Blood Lotus Pond had a second form. If the first form failed to kill the enemy, it would automatically enter the second realm. In this second realm, his true body would be hidden while infinite illusions were generated to attack the opponent.
"Fiery Eyes, Golden Gaze, break!" King Wukong the King of Demons's eyes shot out two beams of golden light, instantly piercing through the illusions of the Nine Emptinesses Blood Lotus Pond. His cudgel then struck towards Sage Sovereign Bai Lian's head.
"Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan, save me!" Sage Sovereign Bai Lian yelled in terror. The strength of Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan was undoubtedly the greatest among the Sage Sovereigns present. If anyone present could save him, it would have to be Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan.
"Mirror Reflecting the Moon!" Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan had already made his move before Sage Sovereign Bai Lian cried for help. "Mirror Reflecting the Moon" could bounce all of an enemy's attacks back onto them. However, in this world, no technique was absolutely unbeatable. As long as one's strength was great enough, all ultimate techniques could be broken.
At this moment, King Wukong the King of Demons was demonstrating the principle of "breaking techniques with overwhelming force" to the fullest.
CRUNCH.
The Golden Cudgel fell, shattering the Nine Emptinesses Blood Lotus Pond, and Sage Sovereign Bai Lian's head burst from the impact.
Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan's face turned pale, and he involuntarily stepped back, his eyes filled with shock. His "Mirror Reflecting the Moon" had been broken.
How is this possible? Sage Sovereign Purple Sun, Sage Sovereign Tian Wu, and the other Sage Sovereigns had stunned expressions.
Sage Sovereign Bai Lian was instantly killed? Even with Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan trying to save him? Not even the God's Eye Great Elder could achieve that!
The God's Eye, watching the battle through his Divine Power in the Realm of Emptiness, looked on, shaken, his voice trembling, "Bai Lian… Bai Lian has been killed instantly!"
