Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Absolute Immortal Sword Light Shadowless Slash!"

The middle-aged Daoist held the Absolute Immortal Sword aloft, suddenly releasing beams of sword light that were invisible and formless.

Ying Long, Ying Tian's expression changed drastically, the power of the middle-aged Daoist's attack was so strong that he couldn't help but change color, and what was key was that he could not see this sword at all!

He had no choice but to withstand it!

Wielding his silver spear with all his might, Ying Long, Ying Tian, tried to block the invisible sword light, but suddenly felt a sharp pain. A streak of blood appeared, and the sword light had somehow breached the defenses of the silver spear, striking Ying Long, Ying Tian's body.

Several more beams of sword light followed in quick succession, leaving Ying Long Ying Tian's body covered with sword marks in an instant. Golden dragon blood flowed from the wounds, and Ying Tian couldn't help but let out a muffled grunt, fury boiling in his eyes.

"Bastard! You dare to harm me? Today, I shall devour you alive!"

"Ao~!"

A resounding dragon chant filled the air, and Ying Long Ying Tian could no longer hold back, transforming into his true form of Ying Long that spanned tens of thousands of feet, his mountainous dragon head staring intently at the middle-aged Daoist. His dragon might, now more than ten times stronger than before, exploded in all directions.

The entire Dragon Island trembled, and even the Dragon Nest shook. The power unleashed by Ying Long Ying Tian's rage was too immense. The barrier above the Dragon Nest lit up, protecting it within, but if the fight continued in this manner, the Dragon Nest could still end up destroyed.

If the Dragon Nest was destroyed, what would become of the Chaos Dragon Divine Armor and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl inside it?

Sun Wukong grew anxious and transmitted his voice to Ying Long Ying Tian, "Ying Tian, lure that guy out of Dragon Island before you fight. You're going to bring down the Dragon Nest like this!"

With a sudden clarity returning to his infuriated mind, Ying Long Ying Tian glanced at the glowing barrier over the Dragon Nest, took a deep breath, and with a phrase flew out of Dragon Island, "If you dare, follow me!"

"Hmph! I'm not afraid of you!"

The middle-aged Daoist scoffed and followed with the Absolute Immortal Sword in hand.

"This Daoist must be the Cultivation Heavenly Venerate!"

A gleam flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes. He had been using the Void-Breaking Divine Eye to observe the middle-aged Daoist. The Daoist was not a Sword Immortal; he was just force-wielding the Absolute Immortal Sword using his powerful cultivation and mana so that he could fully harness its strength.

Sun Wukong estimated that, at the very least, the Absolute Immortal Sword had been in close contact with the middle-aged Daoist for nearly a thousand years, or else such compatibility would not be possible.

Of course, the middle-aged Daoist had not completely controlled the Absolute Immortal Sword; after all, he was not a Sword Immortal, unable to completely unite with the sword. Moreover, Sun Wukong had noticed that there was a conflict between the Slaughter Sword Qi of the Absolute Immortal Sword and the middle-aged Daoist's original Immortal Spirit Qi, only being suppressed by force by the Daoist.

It was exactly because of this that he had been unable to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Sun Wukong remembered that ancient records in Three-Star Cave Heaven regarding the secrets of the Three Realms stated that during the Divine Enthronement War, it was the Cultivation Heavenly Venerate who took the Absolute Immortal Sword, slaying many of the Jie Sect Immortals within the Great Formation of Myriad Immortals.

After the war, the Cultivation Heavenly Venerate vanished without a trace and was not heard from again. If Sun Wukong's guess was correct, this old fellow had been captivated by the immense power of the Absolute Immortal Sword, so much so that he set his heart on subduing it. For this goal, he deviated from his original cultivation path and forcibly merged himself with the Absolute Immortal Sword.

Although his strength considerably increased, his cultivation was stuck just shy of the Quasi-Saint Realm, hence his scheme to target the Heavenly Dragon Clan and the Chaos Dragon Divine Armor and Ancestral Dragon Pearl within the Dragon Nest.

"Who is Cultivation Heavenly Venerable?"

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan did not recognize Cultivation Heavenly Venerable and had never even heard of him. Since leaving the Primeval land and starting his life in the Demonic Realm, the people he was most familiar with in the Three Realms were the Great Master Xuan Du and Guang Chengzi. Right, Guang Chengzi also possessed an Immortal Sword, which was purple and semi-transparent.

It bore an extremely close resemblance in aura to this dark green semi-transparent Immortal Sword. Could it be that this Cultivation Heavenly Venerable was an old acquaintance of Guang Chengzi's?

Upon hearing the skeptical words of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, Sun Wukong laughed, "Cultivation Heavenly Venerable is Guang Chengzi's senior brother. They are both disciples of Primordial Heavenly Venerable, known as one of the Kunlun Twelve Golden Immortals. Tell me, Brother Mu, haven't you suffered a loss under Guang Chengzi's Immortal-Slaying Sword?

Otherwise, why remember it so vividly?"

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he coughed twice, saying, "These are all matters of the past. Let's not bring them up again!"

Seeing Mu Chenxuan's evasive manner, Sun Wukong knew he had guessed correctly, but he laughed inwardly and did not expose him. He soared into the sky following Ying Long Ying Tian and Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, and Mu Chenxuan hurriedly followed. Although cloud soaring consumed a considerable amount of strength, such battles between experts were rare, and Mu Chenxuan did not want to miss out.

The middle-aged man was indeed Cultivation Heavenly Venerable. The reason he was lingering in Heavenly Dragon Valley was much the same as Sun Wukong guessed.

However, Sun Wukong was unaware of one detail: Cultivation Heavenly Venerable forcefully fused with the Sword of Annihilation—not just out of greed for the sword's immense power but also because he had obtained a Puppet Dao Decree, a strange technique passed down from the Ancient Primeval period that could change the order of heaven and earth, allowing Cultivation Heavenly Venerable to use his body as a scabbard, store the Sword of Annihilation within, and eventually merge with the sword to achieve unity between man and sword, reaching new heights.

However, what the Puppet Dao Decree failed to mention in its records was a critical reminder that one must discard all previous cultivation before practicing the decree. Then, one can fuse with the Sword of Annihilation using their body as a scabbard. Cultivation Heavenly Venerable began his practice without this knowledge, and by the time he realized, it was too late.

The Chan Sect Method that originally belonged to him conflicted with the Puppet Dao Decree; his body could not transform entirely into a sword box, so naturally, he couldn't perfectly merge with the Sword of Annihilation. Additionally, he suffered from the erosion of the sword's Slaughter Sword Qi.

Over the years, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable has been transferring the damage caused to his body by the Sword of Annihilation into the exotic beasts of Beast Spirit Mountain Range. This caused the beasts to mutate into undead, as for the Golden Dragon Puppet, it was created during his practice of the Puppet Dao Decree. Discover stories with empire

Because of this refining process, he had gained a trace of memory left in the dragon's body and learned about the existence of the Chaos Dragon Divine Armor and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl in the Dragon Nest.

In his current state, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable had completely taken the wrong path and could not turn back. However, if he could refine the Chaos Dragon Divine Armor and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, he could not only fully merge with the Sword of Annihilation but also control the Chaotic Power, eliminating all risks and reaching an even higher level.

Therefore, he absolutely could not allow anyone to compete with him for the Chaos Dragon Divine Armor and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl. This was not merely a fight over treasures but a struggle for his own cultivation destiny.

Restored to his true Ying Long form, Ying Long Ying Tian's power had increased exponentially compared to his human form. Although the Sword of Annihilation could still injure him, the damage to a few dragon scales was negligible on his tens of thousands of feet long dragon body.

Ying Long Ying Tian charged through the Sword Qi slashes and spat out torrents of weak water, slamming them towards Cultivation Heavenly Venerable. Now, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable was in the same predicament that Sun Wukong had faced when combating Ying Long Ying Tian earlier.

Massive waves of weak water surrounded him from all sides, forcing Cultivation Heavenly Venerable to constantly wield the Sword of Annihilation to slice through the crashing waves. The Sword Qi from the Sword of Annihilation cut through all the incoming weak water waves and vanished without a trace, not allowing any to touch Cultivation Heavenly Venerable.

He did not dare let the weak water touch his body as it was Innate Kwai Water, which even a Heavenly Dao Saint could not bear too much of and not suffer the consequences. Unlike Sun Wukong who possessed Chaos Primordial Force that could assimilate everything, if the weak water touched him, it would be calamitous, if not fatal!

"Damn it, that evil dragon can actually manipulate weak water!"

Cultivation Heavenly Venerable was getting anxious. Although Ying Long Ying Tian in human form was powerful, his Sword of Annihilation could defeat him. But now, having transformed into his Ying Long true form, the formidable power of the Ancient Dragon Race fully erupted.

Even holding a Heavenly Dao Killing Sword like the Sword of Annihilation, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable felt overwhelmed, trapped amidst the stormy waves, unable to break free. If things continued like this, defeat was inevitable!

"It looks like Cultivation Heavenly Venerable can't hold on much longer! Ying Long, one of the three great Divine Dragons of the Ancient Dragon Clan, is truly powerful, with even the Sword of Annihilation unable to withstand these relentless attacks of the weak water waves,"

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan clicked his tongue in admiration.

However, Sun Wukong did not show much joy. Given Cultivation Heavenly Venerable's abilities and his forced integration with the Sword of Annihilation over the years, it's unlikely he would be trapped and perish in the weak water waves.

Sun Wukong had previously broken through the weak water waves himself, and Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, being one step away from the Quasi-Saint Realm and wielding the Sword of Annihilation, should be able to break through as well. That old fellow must still be hiding some ultimate move he wasn't willing to use yet!

As expected, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable seemed unable to hold back any longer. Under the observation of the Void-Breaking Divine Eye, Sun Wukong saw a strange power spewing from the third eye of Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, a type of black Qi that controlled puppets and undead, violently spreading out.

The weak water waves did not hinder the black Qi in any way, allowing it to extend in all directions.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

With the spreading of the black Qi, a chorus of beast roars began to sound in the distance, growing denser and louder, filled with a brutal and murderous aura. Sun Wukong, sensing something, turned his gaze towards Beast Spirit Mountain Range and sharply narrowed his eyes. He saw a long dark line emerging on the horizon, advancing towards them.

Sun Wukong could clearly see that it wasn't just a dark line but a tide of undead mixed-blood beasts!

Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, that fellow, is trying to use the Beast Tide to break apart the weak water waves!
