Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Roar!"

"Ao!"

"Ang!"

The Beast Tide rolled in from the horizon, accompanied by the roars of beasts, slamming viciously into the waves besieging the Cultivation Heavenly Venerable. Waves after waves of the water wall were shattered, numerous undead mixed-blood beasts were corroded by the weak water into nothingness, yet more undead mixed-blood beasts fearlessly charged into the waves of weak water.

"Bastards! You inferior creatures, how dare you?"

Furious, Ying Long Ying Tian unleashed his overwhelming dragon might onto the horde of beasts, pressing down on those wildly colliding with the weak water waives.

Suddenly, a brief pause occurred among the beasts, and just as a sense of triumph flashed in Ying Long Ying Tian's eyes, Sun Wukong noticed the black aura emanating from the Cultivation Heavenly Venerable's brow's mud pill becoming thicker, as if stimulated by excitement.

The innate fear of the beasts toward the dragon might was instantaneously diluted by the black aura, and with ferocious roars, they once more crashed into the waves of weak water with renewed violence.

"Damn it!"

Ying Long Ying Tian grew anxious, his weak water wave prison was formidable, but it couldn't withstand the relentless onslaught of so many undead mixed-blood beasts. Each dead-set charge of an undead mixed-blood beast opened up the water wall a little more, and with so many undead mixed-blood beasts continuously and unceasingly colliding, they might indeed completely shatter the water wall!

Unlike when he was battling Sun Wukong, Ying Long Ying Tian, in a rage, had already used his full strength. He could indeed control the weak water well, but if the water wall was really broken through, it would be nearly impossible to launch it again in a short time.

Without the suppression of the water wall, the Sword of Annihilation wielded by the Cultivation Heavenly Venerable would be able to unleash its power unrestrained. A half-step Quasi-Saint holding a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure like the Heavenly Dao Killing Sword could wreak havoc not the least bit inferior to a peak Quasi-Saint like himself.

At that point, the outcome of the battle would be hard to predict!

"Ying Long, you deal with these undead corpse beasts, and leave this Cultivation Heavenly Venerable to Old Sun!"

Sun Wukong had also observed Ying Long Ying Tian's predicament and without hesitation, his figure flashed as he rode the clouds upwards towards Ying Long Ying Tian. Having observed from the side for so long, he could hardly contain himself.

The Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, an outstanding figure among the Kunlun Twelve Golden Immortals, now wielding the Sword of Annihilation—Sun Wukong truly wanted to have a contest of strength with him!

"Leave it to you? Are you up for it?"

Ying Long Ying Tian hesitated somewhat. Sun Wukong's strength was indeed formidable, having previously broken through his Ying Long's Cry and injured him, but Sun Wukong's cultivation seemed too weak! A peak Taiyi Golden Immortal facing a half-step Quasi-Saint wielding the Sword of Annihilation—no matter how one looked at it, there didn't seem to be much chance of victory!

"Whether I'm up for it or not, that's something we'll only know after fighting!"

Sun Wukong pulled out his Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod, his dark golden eyes boiling with battle intent. His cultivation might be a bit lower, and it was not that he couldn't condense the "Three Flowers Above the Head" or the "Five Qi in the Chest" to break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, but rather he wanted to make his foundation even more solid at the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage.

Unlike others, the solidity of his foundation was related to the number and intensity of battles he engaged in. The more battles he fought, the more intense they were, the deeper his control over his own realm power became, and even his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao Laws would deepen.

After his previous great battle with Ying Long and Ying Tian, Sun Wukong felt he had reached the limit of his current realm, and it was time to break through. He would use this Cultivation Heavenly Venerate as his last battle before his breakthrough!

"Fine, this is your own choice, don't blame this dragon if you die!"

Ying Long, Ying Tian snorted, and the direction of the water wall waves suddenly turned, abandoning Cultivation Heavenly Venerate, and smashed fiercely onto the relentless surge of undead mixed-blood exotic beasts, "You ungrateful creatures, today this dragon will completely erase you low-lifes from this world!"

These mixed-blood exotic beasts were the descendants of the Heavenly Dragon Clan interbreeding with other inferior races, with extremely diluted blood of the Heavenly Dragon Clan in their veins, and they weren't very strong. Precisely because of this, they were despised by the Heavenly Dragon Clan, who had banished them to the Beast Spirit Mountain Range.

Now, these mixed-blood exotic beasts had become neither dead nor alive undead creatures, yet they dared to attack him. Ying Long, Ying Tian's disgust towards them deepened, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Without Cultivation Heavenly Venerate's restraint, the full force of the Weak Water Waves poured out onto the undead mixed-blood beasts, suddenly halting the entire beast tide and being swallowed by the waves bit by bit.

Cultivation Heavenly Venerate escaped from his predicament, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Watching Ying Long, Ying Tian turn to deal with the undead mixed-blood exotic beasts, he snorted coldly and was about to launch a sneak attack from behind when a sword strike was blocked by a golden, shining Silver-Hooped Iron Rod.

"Heh, Cultivation Heavenly Venerate, is it? Your opponent is yours truly!"

Sun Wukong stood in front of Cultivation Heavenly Venerate with a playful smile on his face, True Solar Fire burning fiercely on his body, quickly condensing into a suit of Fire Armor. The Sword Qi of the Sword of Annihilation could exterminate everything under the Heavenly Dao, and Sun Wukong dared not be careless.

Having a suit of Fire Armor forged by True Solar Fire for defense was far better than having nothing at all.

"It's you, demon monkey!"

Surprise flitted across the eyes of Cultivation Heavenly Venerate. He certainly knew Sun Wukong; ever since Sun Wukong had entered the Heavenly Dragon Valley, he had been paying attention to him. Along the way, he had set up various traps to stop Sun Wukong, all of which Sun Wukong had managed to get through.

The demon monkey's cultivation might appear to be only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, but his strength was abnormally terrifying. He couldn't be judged by common sense.

Yet, in the end, it was merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Holding the Sword of Annihilation in his hands, even Ying Long, Ying Tian had to temporarily avoid its edge, so why would he fear such a demon monkey?

"How do you know who I am?"

Cultivation Heavenly Venerate did not immediately launch an attack. He felt somewhat perplexed. Since the Divine Enthronement War, he had been living in seclusion, rarely showing his face in the Three Realms.

Later, he had been waiting in the Heavenly Dragon Valley for a thousand years, just for the moment when the barrier around the Dragon Nest weakened once every two thousand years, so that he could break the barrier and enter the Dragon Nest to seize the Chaos Dragon Divine Armor and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.

Logically, other than the immortals and gods who had survived the Divine Enthronement War, no one should know his identity, yet Sun Wukong had called it out with ease.

Judging by Sun Wukong's age, he shouldn't be over a thousand years old. How could such a junior demon monkey know of him?

"Is that important?"

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow, "Enough chit-chat, hurry up and start fighting. I'm on a tight schedule!"

"Scoundrel!"

A chill flashed in the eyes of Cultivation Heavenly Venerable. How dare this arrogant demon monkey think so little of his Sword of Annihilation? Did he really believe it was merely for show?

"I'd like to see what you're relying on to be so insolent! Take this!"

With an upward flick of his Sword of Annihilation, several streaks of sword qi burst out, shooting straight towards Sun Wukong. The fierce sword qi hadn't even reached him when Sun Wukong already sensed a piercing pain; the Sword of Annihilation was truly extraordinary!

Clang clang clang clang!

Swinging his Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod, Sun Wukong deflected all the sword qi, the sound of metal clashing reverberating through the air. Despite blocking them, the destructive power carried by the sword qi still caused his arms to go numb, and his figure was forced back dozens of feet.

"Brother Wukong, I'll help you!"

Mu Chenxuan saw Sun Wukong get blasted back after only one exchange with Cultivation Heavenly Venerable and immediately felt tense. He rushed forward on a cloud, only to be stopped by Sun Wukong's hand from afar.

"No need! Just stand by and watch the battle, Brother Mu. I can handle it!"

Chaos Primordial Force circulated, dissolving the sword qi that had invaded his body through the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod. Sun Wukong shook his slightly numb arm, his fighting spirit bubbling up even more. With a loud shout, he lunged towards Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, aggressively initiating the attack.

"Overestimating your abilities!"

Cultivation Heavenly Venerable was secretly startled to see Sun Wukong take all the sword qi without any visible trouble. It wasn't so easy to handle the Sword of Annihilation's sword qi, which carried killing intent that could invade the enemy's body through their weapon, annihilating their life essence and shattering their divine soul.

Yet Sun Wukong simply shook his arm and charged again like nothing had happened. This monkey was quite strange!

Despite his inward surprise, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable showed no sign of backing down, scoffing disdainfully before once again swinging his Sword of Annihilation. Summoning more Immortal Force, he released an even larger and denser swarm of sword qi towards Sun Wukong.

"Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations, White Cloud Smoke!" Your next chapter is on empire

Having learned his lesson from the previous onslaught, Sun Wukong didn't try to withstand the Sword of Annihilation's sword qi this time. With a single thought, he activated the Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations, White Cloud Smoke skill. His entire body instantly turned into a cloud of mist. As the sword qi sliced through his misty form, it failed to hit any solid mass, missing entirely.

Sun Wukong's figure reformed after the sword qi passed, and using the Shrinking Earth into Inches technique, he flashed in front of Cultivation Heavenly Venerable and slammed his rod down onto his head with ferocity.

"What?"

Cultivation Heavenly Venerable was startled. What was that bizarre ability the monkey had just used to dodge all of the Sword of Annihilation's sword qi?

The oppressive wind from the powerful staff force was already upon him. Feeling the heavy pressure and pain on his face, he had no time to think and quickly raised his Sword of Annihilation to block Sun Wukong's incoming Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod.

Boom!

A loud explosion ensued, and this time, it was Cultivation Heavenly Venerable who was sent tumbling from the sky, dropping dozens of feet before stabilizing his figure. His hands gripping the Sword of Annihilation were numbed, and his eyes were filled with a look of shock.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This monkey, what tremendous brute force!

"Hehe, how does it feel, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable?" Sun Wukong smirked, amused. This Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations technique was a divine skill indeed, easily dodging even the sword qi of the Sword of Annihilation. If it weren't for the fact that the skill could only be activated once every ten breaths, he would truly be invincible!

"Damn it, demon monkey, don't get too cocky!"

A fury flashed across Cultivation Heavenly Venerable's face. His empty left hand swiftly formed a Dharma Decree, pointing at Sun Wukong from a distance:

"Air Burst, Collapse!"
