"So, it's the Horses' Fortune."

The surroundings were originally silent, like the deep sea, but now it seemed to metaphorically burn with the fury of a certain monkey, causing the air to boil violently and the winds and clouds in the sky to shift with a howling sound.

The monkey's face turned livid immediately, and the golden fur on its cheeks bristled slightly.

Upon seeing the monkey's expression, Jiang Li finally confirmed the identity of the other party.

'It really is Sun Wukong...' Jiang Li whispered in his heart.

No other monkey could possibly react like this to those three words. There are many powerful monkeys, but only one monkey ever held the position of Horses' Fortune.

In the mythical era, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven has awakened within Wuzhiqi's body. Jiang Li's heart fluctuated with some surprise but mostly inevitability.

He had long noticed that Wuzhiqi's body continually transformed with the fusion of Dao Fruit, most typically the fur gradually turning golden yellow. Even its nature had changed, sometimes even referring to itself as "I, myself".

These changes were extremely subtle, like silent rain nourishing things, unnoticed even by Wuzhiqi himself. However, for Jiang Li, any slight change would trigger his contemplation, much more so when he observed Wuzhiqi on several occasions, seeing more than just one change.

The Awakened's acquiescence also deepened Jiang Li's suspicions.

The Awakened, knowing Jiang Li shows no mercy to enemies, yet let Wuzhiqi confront Jiang Li, was clearly prepared. He had long planned to abandon Wuzhiqi, even using Jiang Li to awaken Sun Wukong.

However, all the above were mere speculations. Only through one last question could Jiang Li ascertain if the opposite party was truly the reincarnation of Sun Wukong and not Wuzhiqi feigning death.

This Water Monkey had already faked death once, with no guarantee it wouldn't do so a second time. If not for the Awakened intercepting last time, Wuzhiqi would have escaped scot-free.

That's right, Jiang Li wanted to verify the other party's identity.

He didn't just want to shout "Horses' Fortune" on purpose.

Jiang Li confirmed the other party's identity, while on the other side, Sun Wukong's complexion slightly softened, saying: "Young people are often ignorant of vast domains, unaware of my Old Sun's might. Now that I've tempered myself, unlike my domineering past, else I'd teach you a hard lesson."

"Hear me well, I am the first renowned demon through the ages, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun—"

"So, it's the Horses' Fortune," Jiang Li reiterated concisely.

As he finished speaking, Sun Wukong's face turned iron gray again, then darkened like the bottom of a pot.

"Ha!"

He shouted loudly: "You junior! I can tell you're not a good person at a glance, eat my staff!"

All talk of temperance and lack of domineering of the past was completely thrown away by this monkey. He jumped up, gripping the Jingu Bang with both hands, swinging a blow down from the sky.

Jingu Bang expanded rapidly, like a bending mountain peak crashing down, causing the entire sky to twist as if pulled down by this blow.

Compared to Wuzhiqi, Sun Wukong at this moment had no qualitative leap in strength, for after all, the body was still the same and wouldn't breakthrough just because the consciousness changed. However, the power Sun Wukong wielded showed an ascending level.

The Jingu Bang was unimaginably heavy, generating gravity like a celestial body by its mass. As the iron staff crashed down, it directly pulled space, causing it to distort. Before the rod even fell on Jiang Li, he already felt a heavy pressure, as though bearing a great burden.

Wuzhiqi could not threaten Jiang Li, but Sun Wukong certainly could.

Feeling the crisis alerted by his Spiritual Sense, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a glimmer of excitement.

This is exactly it, exactly how it should be.

He could sense the Dao Fruit pulsating, the fusion deepening, more active than at any prior time.

Question: How can a Dao Fruit dramatically advance after killing Wuzhiqi, who has Sun Wukong's Dao Fruit?

Answer: Replace with the real Sun Wukong.

The real Sun Wukong was far more powerful than Wuzhiqi, who contained the Dao Fruit. Even a third-grade Drought Demon wouldn't compare to the benefits of facing Sun Wukong. The reason Jiang Li was certain his Dao Fruit would see great advancement was possibly meeting the real Sun Wukong.

He grasped the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword, kicked the end of the long handle with his right foot, swinging the blade upward, slicing through a bright arc.

The entire Innate Eight Sceneries surged into the weapon transformed from Ochre Whip, the blade's edge precisely slicing the Jingu Bang, issuing an earth-shattering explosion.

"Boom!"

Winds and clouds raged inciting thunder, surrounding peaks simultaneously erupted. Just the clash of blades formed a sound wave that shattered mountain tops. Violent Primordial Qi and Strength swept like a storm, cutting across the sky from the convergence of two weapons, sweeping away the dust raised by the mountain collapse.

The twisted space got forcibly flattened, rendering the whole sky clear and bright, without a trace of dust or shadows, clean as if it were the dawn of time.

Jiang Li's body trembled; the unified Three Elements rippled, starting to surge.

He exerted power to suppress the residual strength, unleashing once more an overwhelming Qi Mechanism.

"Emperor's Ultimate World, Yiyuan Jinghui."

Spiritual mechanism arose, boundless Primordial Qi formed, suffusing every inch of space, crushing towards the opponent with Jiang Li's intent.

But the monkey merely flickered, slipping away from the domain.

Its figure dashed and flickered, like light as shadow, like dew as electricity, evanescent as an illusion, freely with clarity, directly vanishing from the domain, even the Jingu Bang disappeared.
