Great Demon Sun Wukong

Soon, the myriad dots of light and the swirling black dragons were all brushed away by the Zhen Yuan Bodhi Treasure Tree. Even though Kunpeng, who was dodging at the side, found it tricky to avoid them, he didn’t suffer any significant harm. Seeing the extraordinary nature of Sun Wukong’s treasure tree, his spirit soared.

They locked eyes for a moment and gave a slight nod before once again leaping into the attack.

Watching his own attacks being completely deflected, Guiding Daoist’s complexion was far from good. However, he didn’t flee but instead sat cross-legged where he was, with his mana surging throughout his body, pouring it all into the ancient lamp. In an instant, the ancient lamp shone brilliantly.

Beside him, Jiang Ziya also clenched his teeth and then gripped the God-Beating Whip tightly, beginning to infuse it with mana.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong and Kunpeng, who had initially charged forward, also stopped. It was clear to both of them that Guiding Daoist was channeling all his mana into the ancient lamp for defense, while Jiang Ziya was preparing for a full-power attack. Since Guiding Daoist was confident in the lamp’s defense against both their assaults, it meant the ancient lamp indeed possessed that capability.

So what Sun Wukong and Kunpeng needed to do at this time was not to consider how to breach Guiding Daoist’s defense, but rather to prepare a stronger attack to directly overwhelm Jiang Ziya.

Neither of them were men of many words; they exchanged a glance and then each retreated. Kunpeng, upon flying back, immediately transformed into his true form, a gigantic bird. However, he didn’t block out the sun and sky, which was clearly a deliberate control of his size. Otherwise, if Kunpeng fully displayed his true form, he would probably be too large for the entirety of Beyond the Heavens.

As his true form took shape, Kunpeng’s claws started to randomly tear through the void, causing cracks to appear even in what was originally empty space!

Seeing Kunpeng take action, Sun Wukong fell into hesitation. His situation was somewhat awkward. Although the Jingu Bang in his hand was a pseudo-Supreme Divine Artifact, aside from being hard, it had no other divine skills. Relying on the Jingu Bang was clearly not enough to withstand Jiang Ziya’s final strike.

As for other methods, Sun Wukong had many, but either the power was too weak or he didn’t dare take the risk.

Take, for example, the seven kinds of Strange Fire within his body. Sun Wukong could fuse the seven Strange Fires together and detonate them, but in the Void of Beyond the Heavens, he wasn’t sure if the Strange Fire would be affected. Excluding Strange Fire, there was the Five-Colored Divine Stone within his body.

But aside from teaching Sun Wukong a set of Chaos Five Decisions, the Divine Stone didn’t exhibit much else. Oh, it also helped him complete the Five Elements Chaotic Body.

However, the power of the Chaos Five Decisions was too strong, and Sun Wukong was still not able to control them well. If he really used them, he might end up cutting down Kunpeng as well. But aside from the Chaos Five Decisions and the seven kinds of Strange Fire, the only formidable attack left was the World Suppressing Stele.

But towards the World Suppressing Stele, Sun Wukong still held some caution. This mysterious item that suddenly appeared, considered the most mysterious in the entire Pangu Realm, was something Sun Wukong knew too little about. Although he could still command it like he did with the Golden Hoop, he remained quite wary of this stele.

But then he thought about it. He and Guiding Daoist or Jiang Ziya had no real relationship. If the World Suppressing Stele became uncontrollable again and directly killed them, it wouldn’t affect him much. Otherwise, he really didn’t have any other strong attacks at his disposal.

Having made up his mind, Sun Wukong hesitated no further. With a flick of the Jingu Bang, the World Suppressing Stele appeared from the void. He poured his mana into it, and the Stele, sensing Sun Wukong’s power, suddenly emitted a dim glow.

At that moment, Jiang Ziya, who was within Guiding Daoist’s Light Barrier, gave a gentle nod to him. Knowing Jiang Ziya was ready to attack, Guiding Daoist waved both hands, and the Light Barrier slowly dissipated. Once the Light Barrier vanished, Guiding Daoist sat cross-legged in the void; the sweat on his face indicated how great his depletion had been in just that brief time.

This also revealed just how incredible the Light Barrier’s defensive power was.

Jiang Ziya, seeing the Light Barrier disappear, gave a furious shout and then threw the God-Beating Whip forth. In his hands, the ordinary-looking God-Beating Whip began to dance through the void immediately upon being released, and with its dance, countless pitch-black thunders quickly surrounded the area.

Moreover, these thunders gradually formed a continuously spinning thunderstorm as the whip moved.

The attack from Kunpeng was also ready. Suddenly, Kunpeng was seen grasping a pitch-black sphere in his claws, which he hurled forward. At the same time, Sun Wukong, mustering Divine Power in both arms, forcefully threw the World Suppressing Stele towards Jiang Ziya and Guiding Daoist behind the raging thunderstorm.

This had been coordinated from the beginning with Kunpeng, who would obstruct Jiang Ziya’s attack, allowing Sun Wukong to finish off both Jiang Ziya and Guiding Daoist with his strongest blow.

Just as Sun Wukong hurled the World Suppressing Stele, Kunpeng’s pitch-black sphere collided with Jiang Ziya’s thunderstorm. Sun Wukong had wondered why Kunpeng would create such an inconspicuous sphere, but the moment the sphere touched the lightning, it exploded violently. Moreover, the explosion instantly tore a huge hole in the void! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

```

One should know that this place, Beyond the Heavens, situated in the Void, has spatial barriers far stronger than those of the Pangu Realm. Yet, the pitch-black sphere still blasted a huge hole into it. As soon as the hole appeared, an unstoppable and powerful suction force emerged, gradually pulling the Thunderstorm into it.

As it turned out, Kunpeng had noticed Jiang Ziya’s preparations for the attack and realized that the final blow was still the Heavenly Dao Tempestuous Thunder. Although shocked, Kunpeng quickly devised a countermeasure: creating a black hole in the Void to absorb the Heavenly Dao Tempestuous Thunder.

This meant that even though Jiang Ziya knew Sun Wukong’s treasure tree could dissipate the Heavenly Dao Tempestuous Thunder, he still used this tactic, implying it wouldn’t be easily neutralized this time.

Despite Kunpeng’s serious attention to Jiang Ziya’s strike, when the Thunderstorm appeared, Kunpeng knew he had underestimated it. While the black hole was absorbing the Heavenly Dao Tempestuous Thunder, a significant portion was still hurtling towards him and Sun Wukong.

With no other option, Kunpeng once again summoned his full strength, hoping to create another black hole. Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, upon seeing the incoming Thunderstorm and knowing it shouldn’t be touched, took a deep breath, shrunk the Zhen Yuan Bodhi Treasure Tree to ten meters, and started sweeping incessantly.

With each sweep of the twelve-colored radiance, the storm of the Heavenly Dao Tempestuous Thunder diminished a bit. But at this rate, the storm would still engulf them both eventually.

Realizing the danger, Sun Wukong suddenly shouted to Kunpeng, "Senior, give me all your mana, I’ll stop it." Hearing this, Kunpeng took a brief moment to think, then flashed behind Sun Wukong and poured all his remaining mana into Sun Wukong’s body.

Sun Wukong’s previously largely depleted spiritual power began to recover rapidly with Kunpeng’s mana infusion. The Five-Colored Divine Stone within Sun Wukong also operated wildly, causing vast flows of spiritual power to circulate through his body and limbs, reducing his physical exhaustion. Fortified by this support, Sun Wukong swung the Zhen Yuan Bodhi Treasure Tree twenty-eight more times.

Then he completely collapsed in mid-air, unable to move even a finger.

Though Kunpeng was in better shape than Sun Wukong, with mana mostly depleted and drenched in sweat, the terrifying storm of Heavenly Dao Tempestuous Thunder had dissipated.

Wukong shuddered when he thought about how close they had come—if not for Kunpeng and the Five-Colored Divine Stone pouring spiritual power into him without reservation, he might now be having his will erased by the Heavenly Dao.

While Wukong was recovering from the shock, Kunpeng had already leaned down to help Sun Wukong up, saying, "The Guiding Daoist and Jiang Ziya must have fled. You didn’t notice just now, but your stele was blocked by the Guiding Daoist. However, both of them have been seriously injured; even if they’re not dead, they’ve definitely lost their combat power.

Stay tuned to empire

Although I don’t know where they ran off to, they shouldn’t pose a threat anymore. Let’s rest and recover our strength before checking on the others."

After speaking, Kunpeng sat cross-legged on the spot to recover his strength and spiritual power, while Sun Wukong looked around, feeling a bit puzzled. The fact that the Guiding Daoist and Jiang Ziya managed to escape even after taking a hit from the World Suppressing Stele proved they were no ordinary figures.

Shaking his head, despite his Fiery Eyes having advanced to a level where they could discern the tiniest of details, Sun Wukong still found no trace or clue.

Sighing in resignation, Sun Wukong also sat down cross-legged. The Five-Colored Divine Stone floated out from Sun Wukong’s forehead and began to orbit both him and Kunpeng, accelerating their recovery of strength and spiritual power.

Time passed slowly. Since the various parties had entered Beyond the Heavens up until now, a whole day had elapsed. Night had already fallen upon the Pangu Realm. Suddenly, space at the entrance of the Hidden Wood Forest fluctuated, and two extremely disheveled figures tumbled out from the air, seemingly lacking the strength even to stand and collapsing to the ground immediately.

Despite their dishevelment, the young man in a white robe holding an Eight Trigrams Map couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile. However, when he surveyed the surrounding devastation, he was caught off guard.
