224: Chapter 178 What a Treasure_6 224: Chapter 178 What a Treasure_6 It was evident that their mana had been severely depleted, with the Roc Demon King on the verge of collapse. After being blown apart once more, it was with great difficulty that he managed to recover. Soon after, he was again obliterated by Sun Wukong. As for Sun Wukong, he wasn’t having an easy time either. Operating at less than fifty percent of his peak strength, he was almost at his limit, fighting solely on conviction. He had lost count of how many times he had slain the Roc Demon King, yet his opponent still managed to come back to life. This was significantly more than the tentative ten times that Wukong had anticipated. The Roc Demon King knew that he was at his last straw. If he were to be blasted apart again, he definitely wouldn’t survive. With this thought, he finally became afraid. “Nihou, I was wrong, please spare me,” the Roc Demon King suddenly begged, after being sent flying by one of Wukong’s strikes. Sun Wukong was momentarily taken aback; the Roc Demon King was actually pleading for mercy. He didn’t respond, or rather, his staff did, without the slightest hesitation. The Roc Demon King’s will to fight had crumbled, and he stood no chance against Wukong. In an instant, he was blown to bits. This time, the Roc Demon King did not recover. Everything within his body—mana, vital essence, and even his soul—had been completely drained, leaving him with no chance of revival. A faint glow floated in the void, flickering with sinister runes. This was the Primordial Demonic Qi, the main reason behind the madness of both Kunpeng and the Roc Demon King. The Root of Immortality, huh? Sun Wukong did not immediately seize the Primordial Demonic Qi. Instead, he began to replenish his mana and recover from the exhaustion of battle. Boom. The various energies from heaven and earth madly surged into his body, where they were transformed into pure mana upon entry. Such was the might of his physique, and the reason he had been able to restore his original strength after thousands of years in hell. The yin energy in hell was something Wukong could also absorb for cultivation. Tathagata didn’t know this, thinking he could use the Netherworld to refine Wukong, but ultimately failed. Half a day later, Sun Wukong stood up, his spirit vibrant, his mana full, and his physical injuries completely healed. He was a natural Victorious Fighting Sage with a shockingly strong recovery ability. Sun Wukong reached out and grabbed the Primordial Demonic Qi. The Primordial Demonic Qi meekly rested in his hand without any resistance. Even the Demonic Qi within had no effect on Wukong. Sun Wukong smiled faintly, murmuring to himself, “Looks like Kunpeng and the rest really weren’t much, to be controlled by something like this. I overestimated them.” Just then, the Primordial Demonic Qi suddenly turned into a beam of light, directly entering Wukong’s mouth. Violent, sinister emotions—rage, darkness, bloodlust, and greed—began to insanely emerge in Wukong’s Dao Heart. The Primordial Demonic Qi even released terrifying Demonic Qi, fueling these emotions and intent on demonizing Wukong. Sun Wukong had an odd expression, feeling those emotions, and actually showed a face of enjoyment. It took quite a while before Wukong finally said, “That’s it?” He was actually unaffected. Innate Beings possess pure Dao Hearts, and Sun Wukong, being born from a stone, has a will as firm as rock. Trying to demonize him is like a blind man wasting candles by lighting them. In addition, he was pressed beneath the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, and was suppressed in the Netherworld for several thousand years. Naturally, inner demons arose within him, but he overcame them one by one, and his true heart never changed. One must know that the most terrifying devils actually originate from the hearts of Living Beings. Since Sun Wukong had already overcome the demons within his heart, let alone the emotions engendered by this extrinsic Demonic Qi. To Sun Wukong, it was of no use. Seeing this, the Primordial Demonic Qi hurriedly released a potent surge of Demonic Qi, seeking to demonize Sun Wukong’s body. Since it couldn’t instill a demonic heart within Sun Wukong, it then tried to demonize his flesh, so that in the future, the Primordial Demonic Qi might still have a chance to control him. Feeling the Primordial Demonic Qi’s frenzied rush of qi, Sun Wukong almost let out a groan of comfort. He sat down, began to practice Dharma, and actually started cultivating. The Primordial Demonic Qi was baffled, pausing for a moment, then started to pump out even more Demonic Qi with greater force. Sun Wukong’s mana was growing at an extremely fast pace. The Demonic Qi he absorbed was transformed into pure mana, having no effect on him whatsoever. No matter how much Demonic Qi the Primordial Demonic Qi exhaled, Sun Wukong took it all in without exception. Eventually, the Primordial Demonic Qi could no longer tolerate it and ceased releasing Demonic Qi. But a formidable will enveloped the Primordial Demonic Qi, coercively manipulating it and spewing out Demonic Qi. That was Sun Wukong’s will. He was enjoying his practice session so much that when the flow of qi abruptly stopped, he could not endure it. He immediately imposed his will dominantly and seized control of the Primordial Demonic Qi, directing it to pump Demonic Qi into himself. This way of cultivating was simply too exhilarating—it was as though a day of cultivation equated to ten years of the past. The Demonic Qi released by the Primordial Demonic Qi was exceptionally pure, and once converted into mana, it was equally untainted, sparing him the trouble of sorting the wheat from the chaff. After one day, Sun Wukong finally opened his eyes. His mana growth had reached the limit and could not continue further. What he needed to do next was to solidify his Dao Foundation and elevate his Taoist Realm. Only by doing so could he increase his mana further, preparing for his eventual ascension to the Realm of the Great Heavenly Venerate. At this moment, the Primordial Demonic Qi had somewhat dimmed, tucked away in a corner of Sun Wukong’s body, wallowing in sorrow. Having existed for so many years, the Primordial Demonic Qi had never encountered such a peculiar creature before. Not only was it not afraid, it was actually plucking Demonic Qi from it. It was truly infuriating. It wanted to burst out of Sun Wukong’s body, but it knew full well that it was impossible to escape. The Primordial Demonic Qi could lodge within someone’s body, but to leave, it required that person to be completely annihilated. Otherwise, the Primordial Demonic Qi couldn’t leave the host’s body. With the acquisition of the Primordial Demonic Qi, Sun Wukong now possessed a dual Undying Body. Additionally, with his current combat strength, there were, perhaps, not many in the Three Realms capable of killing him. Sensing the Primordial Demonic Qi inside his body, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but exclaim, “Truly a splendid treasure. Having this thing has saved Old Sun an unimaginable amount of time in cultivation; now I don’t have to worry about mana and can focus on improving my Realm.” The Primordial Demonic Qi quivered. It felt like this time, it might have trapped itself. This host was unlike any of the others before.
