Chapter 127 - 127 127 The Ox Demon King Has an Accident

127: Chapter 127: The Ox Demon King Has an Accident 127: Chapter 127: The Ox Demon King Has an Accident Sun Wukong’s divine thought scoured the Eastern Continent; he found that Ksitigarbha and others were also fighting. There were formidable demons dueling with them, overwhelmingly powerful. Even, he saw the figure of Kunpeng. Ksitigarbha was being suppressed by Kunpeng, having sustained no light injuries. As for the other six of the Eight Immortals, they too had their own opponents. Without the time to ask so many questions, Sun Wukong instructed Bai Yu and the others to keep watch over several demon beasts and he charged out. When he arrived, he happened to see Kunpeng strike Ksitigarbha from the heavens down to the ground. Even with Ksitigarbha’s formidable strength, being in the Heavenly Venerate realm, he was not a match for a Great Heavenly Venerate like Kunpeng. Kunpeng cackled, ready to finish off Ksitigarbha. But then, Sun Wukong arrived, His eyes turned cold as he pulled the Jingu Bang from his ear and with a shake in the wind, it turned into a rod as thick as a bowl’s mouth and two Zhang in length, before he struck at Kunpeng with it. Kunpeng’s expression changed slightly as demonic light surged around him, blocking Sun Wukong’s strike. But he himself was also trembling, retreating a great distance. Kunpeng squinted his eyes at Sun Wukong, a flash of shock passing through his gaze. “Heavenly Venerate.” He hadn’t expected that Sun Wukong would have become a Heavenly Venerate. With Sun Wukong’s strength, he dared to clash with him even as a Celestial Immortal, and though not his match, Kunpeng found it difficult to defeat him. Now that Sun Wukong had become a Heavenly Venerate, for Kunpeng to defeat Sun Wukong or to kill him would come at an extremely grave cost, potentially resulting in mutual destruction. Kunpeng’s expression darkened. He had originally intended to seize the opportunity to destroy the Great Sage Sect, while also slaughtering the experts beside Sun Wukong. Now it seemed his wishes were thwarted. Sun Wukong had hurried back, and moreover, his strength had rapidly advanced, stepping into the realm of a Heavenly Venerate. Kunpeng’s expression sank slightly, his eyes flickering, actually contemplating retreat. “Leave.” Kunpeng said gravely, his voice spreading through the heavens. The battling great demons all left at the first opportunity. Kunpeng also retreated, staring at Sun Wukong before turning and disappearing. Sun Wukong did not pursue to stop him, for killing Kunpeng would be no easy feat. If the other party was determined to leave, he could not stop him. Indeed, there was no one in the world who could stop him. Unless an opportunity was found in advance to encircle Kunpeng, only then might there be a chance to annihilate him. Ksitigarbha flew up from below, the corners of his mouth oozing blood, his Golden Body somewhat shattered. But Ksitigarbha paid this no mind, his gaze fixed on Sun Wukong, sensing his cultivation level, he immediately showed joy. “Congratulations, Great Saint, on becoming a Heavenly Venerate.” Ksitigarbha expressed his felicitations. Once Sun Wukong became a Heavenly Venerate, his strength naturally surged. In the current Three Realms, those who dare to say they could surely defeat Sun Wukong could be counted on one hand. Sun Wukong asked gravely, “What’s going on? Why are there so many demons following Kunpeng?” Ksitigarbha shook his head and said, “I don’t know either; some of these demon beasts are ancient great demons, who according to legends had been slain or suppressed, yet here they are reemerging today.” Sun Wukong’s heart was shocked; he understood it was Kunpeng’s doing. These great demons, like Xingtian, had all been resurrected or freed by Kunpeng. He nodded and said, “Bodhisattva, you handle things here; I will make a trip to the Western Continent.” “Sure, no problem.” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded. Now that Kunpeng and the demon beasts had retreated, Sun Wukong naturally didn’t need to stay here. Sun Wukong directly mounted the Somersault Cloud, heading to the Western Continent. Inside the Sky Scraping Cave, it was a scene of devastation. It was completely different from the last time he came. Neither the Ox Demon King nor the Iron Fan Immortal were anywhere to be found. Sun Wukong’s face turned ashen; other than the traces of battle, nothing was left. Something had happened to the Ox Demon King and Princess Iron Fan, and Sun Wukong’s heart sank. Just then, two figures appeared in the void, one of them unmistakably the Roc Demon King. The other, a woman of unrivaled enchanting beauty capable of bewitching all beings, with nine tails swaying behind her, was the legendary Nine-tailed Fox. Her seductive eyes like silk, those soul-stealing orbs gazing at Sun Wukong, her look full of salacious desire. The Roc Demon King cackled with delight, saying, “Sun Wukong, you never imagined that we have taken this place.” “You shameless wretch, where is Big Brother?” Sun Wukong’s expression darkened, as he asked coldly. The Roc Demon King burst into laughter, his sinister smile betraying his schadenfreude, “Since we have taken this place, what else could happen to your big brother? Or don’t you have a clue in your heart?” Sun Wukong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then reopened them. Endless fury burned within his eyes. With the terrifying intent to kill released, Sun Wukong was enraged. Hum. The void trembled slightly, and three more figures emerged, all of them formidable demons of the highest order. Sun Wukong’s gaze fixed upon them and he immediately recognized their true forms. One with the body of a jackal and the head of a dragon was indeed one of the descendants of the Ancestral Dragon, Yazi. The second, a powerful Gray Wolf with a sinister and ruthless gaze. The last demon, its body like a turtle, with a bird’s head and serpent’s tail, was the Mysterious Turtle. Together with the Nine-tailed Fox and the Roc Demon King, that made five peerless great demons. This lineup could definitely be called luxurious. The Flood Dragon Demon King wasn’t present; he once said he would not turn on his brethren. Now it seemed he really did just that, never harboring thoughts of turning against Sun Wukong. “Just you few good-for-nothings?” Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow. Without Kunpeng coming, did these few worthless snacks really think they could take him down? “How brazen, you insignificant rascal monkey, you’re far too arrogant. Let me be the one to slay you.” Gray Wolf said proudly, transforming into a human figure, that of a robust man, holding a steel spear as he charged over. Sun Wukong sneered, not even bothering to use his Jingu Bang. When the spear stabbed over, he grabbed it with one hand. In Gray Wolf’s shocked gaze, Sun Wukong yanked it hard. Gray Wolf’s steel spear was directly ripped from his grasp, and Sun Wukong, holding it in reverse, smashed it down. Clang. The shaft of the spear crashed into Gray Wolf’s body, and Gray Wolf’s half body was directly blasted apart; he let out a pitiful scream as the remaining half of his body flew sideways. Gray Wolf immediately circulated his mana, trying to rapidly heal his injury. But Sun Wukong didn’t give him a chance; he hurled the long spear in his hand, nailing it straight through Gray Wolf’s brow. Gray Wolf’s head exploded, and his Primordial Spirit was nailed to death as well. A major demon was killed just like that. The hearts of Roc Demon King and the others trembled with shock, with a look of astonishment on their faces. When had this monkey become so strong? “You’ve become a Heavenly Venerate.” Roc Demon King suddenly realized something. All seven Great Saints were at the peak of Celestial Immortal, just a step away from becoming Heavenly Venerates. But until now, none of them had made that breakthrough. Roc Demon King hadn’t expected Sun Wukong to actually have become a Heavenly Venerate. He looked at Sun Wukong, filled with jealousy and envy. “Kunpeng already knew, didn’t he tell you?” Sun Wukong’s mouth curved up slightly, revealing a cold smile. The crowd all glared fiercely at Roc Demon King; the person here closest to Kunpeng should be the Roc Demon King. If Kunpeng purposely kept it from them, not letting them know that Sun Wukong had become a Heavenly Venerate, their anger naturally fell on Roc Demon King. Roc Demon King quickly calmed down and immediately explained, “Everyone, things are definitely not as you imagine. Our lord wouldn’t deliberately hide it from us; you mustn’t believe this monkey’s provocation.” “Hmph, after we capture this monkey, we’ll settle scores with Kunpeng.” The Nine-tailed Fox’s smile faded. She walked elegantly toward Sun Wukong. The aura of a Heavenly Venerate was unmistakably displayed. Sun Wukong’s eyebrows raised slightly; this Nine-tailed Fox turned out to be a Heavenly Venerate too. Yazi looked on coldly at everything before him, being a child of the Ancestral Dragon, he didn’t even regard Sun Wukong, a Heavenly Venerate, as a challenge, confident he could defeat Sun Wukong. As for the defeated Gray Wolf, he was merely at the Celestial Immortal realm; although a major demon, he was very far from the old demon Heavenly Venerates. Roc Demon King let out a breath of relief and then said to Yazi and Mysterious Turtle, “I ask the two seniors to also take action.” Yazi and Mysterious Turtle stepped forward simultaneously, both unleashing auras of the Heavenly Venerate realm. These ancient demons were terrifyingly powerful, astonishingly so. Three Heavenly Venerates, plus Roc Demon King who wasn’t a Heavenly Venerate but had strength comparable to one, Sun Wukong naturally wouldn’t take them lightly. None of the four old demons before him were easy to deal with. Sun Wukong’s expression grew solemn; he stepped forward, Jingu Bang already in hand. A great battle was about to erupt. Boom. Just then, from the direction of the North Sea, an immensely large white bull appeared between heaven and earth, its body exuding a mighty aura. It battled a Mythical Beast, a Qiong Qi, whose wings spread out, covering the sky. Multiple claw marks were left on the white bull by the Qiong Qi’s claws, and its wings sliced down like two Heavenly Swords, striking the white bull and forcing it to keep retreating. But, the white bull was frenzied, its aura erupting, soaring into the Heavenly Venerate realm. A pair of horns thick as mountains, radiating a chill, left scar after scar on the Qiong Qi’s body. It was a battle of evenly matched adversaries, both sides driven to madness. Sun Wukong’s eyes brightened, the Ox Demon King had surged into the Heavenly Venerate realm. However, his current condition wasn’t good, being suppressed by that powerful Qiong Qi; clearly, he was not yet a match for the Qiong Qi, The Qiong Qi was very strong, almost reaching the realm of a Great Heavenly Venerate, and it was extremely ferocious, with fighting tactics and awareness that were astonishing, not something ordinary Heavenly Venerates could compare to. Otherwise, the Ox Demon King’s surge into the Heavenly Venerate realm would have meant that even when facing any of the outstanding figures among Heavenly Venerates, he shouldn’t be in such a sorry state. Sun Wukong’s figure flashed as he rushed toward the Ox Demon King. But then, nine tails stabbed over, like nine war spears, blocking Sun Wukong’s path. Sun Wukong didn’t dare to be careless, his Jingu Bang whirled, blocking the Nine-tailed Fox’s nine tails. At that moment, Yazi attacked; he towered arrogantly, looking down at Sun Wukong, with a steel saber in his hand chopping down directly at Sun Wukong. The Mysterious Turtle also arrived, wielding a pair of Purple Gold Hammers, carrying thunder and infused with tremendous mana, crashing down towards Sun Wukong. The three demon beasts of the Heavenly Venerate level, all acting simultaneously, blocked Sun Wukong from going to rescue the Ox Demon King. Roc Demon King seized the opportunity to strike, a black longsword in his hand that held an evil aura, stabbing directly at Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong’s expression was unchanging; he manifested three heads and six arms to block the attacks of the four great demons. With a surge of his mana, all four great demons were shaken and sent flying back. The crowd was astonished, their faces filled with disbelief. How could a mere Heavenly Venerate be this strong? Jointly, they four could fight a Great Heavenly Venerate. Sun Wukong sneered, not paying any attention to these great demons, instead, he charged toward the Qiong Qi. The Somersault Cloud was exceedingly fast, reaching its destination in an instant. By now, the Ox Demon King had completely fallen at a disadvantage, with the Qiong Qi having grasped hold of him, ready to tear him apart. “How dare you.” Sun Wukong’s icy voice reached the ears of the Qiong Qi.
