Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong’s fate
Chapter 154 - 154 154 Use the Immortal Axe to Chop Up This Demon Monkey

154: Chapter 154: Use the Immortal Axe to Chop Up This Demon Monkey 154: Chapter 154: Use the Immortal Axe to Chop Up This Demon Monkey It is said that during the time of the Ancient Demon Court, this Demon-Slaying Saber had already been positioned here, with countless Great Demons meeting their demise beneath its blade.

This long saber emitted a sky-high chilling aura, while surrounding Immortal Qi kept gathering towards it.

Now, Sun Wukong was bound between two Coiling Dragon Pillars.

Looking up, he saw the long saber; even now, it bore mottled bloodstains, as if it had just slain a Great Demon, radiating an endless sharp aura, and it seemed as if numerous phantoms of the Demon Race circled around it.

Even when one fell beneath this blade, their soul wouldn’t be able to escape.

This made the saber’s edge even more powerful, with almost no member of the Demon Race able to escape from its strike.

Even though the blade was hundreds of feet away from Sun Wukong’s head, he could still feel the endless sharpness descending, pricking his skin.

Seeing this scene, many celestial Soldiers and Generals involuntarily shrank their necks.

The power of this saber was too great; they had seen many powerful and ferocious Great Demons die under this blade, and they believed Sun Wukong would be no exception—he too would fall beneath it.

However, Sun Wukong didn’t seem too worried.

Instead, his mind was occupied with considering why the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way hadn’t exposed him.

Could it be he wanted to counter scheme with a scheme?

Regardless, he had to continue playing his part in this drama.

For now, Sun Wukong could only pretend to be ferocious, and said to some of the orthodox deities of the celestial Court nearby, “So this is the Demon-Slaying Saber?

I’d like to see whether this blade is sharper or Old Sun’s head is harder!”

As soon as these words were spoken, many celestial Soldiers and Generals glared angrily; even at this critical moment, the monkey dared to make such bold claims.

A person radiating an aura of the Underworld slowly approached.

“Audacious demon monkey, you’re on the brink of death and still dare to spout arrogant words.

I am the Great Strength Ghost King, here by command of the Jade Emperor to oversee the execution!”

He was from the Underworld.

However, because overseeing executions was imbued with heavy resentment, even the immortals couldn’t withstand it.

But as a Ghost King, he did not fear the invasion of resentment.

Over the years, he had overseen the execution of who knows how many Great Demons and Monsters.

Even though Sun Wukong seemed a bit stronger than the Great Demons he had executed over the years, the opponent’s Primordial Spirit was now bound, and most likely even if he had the power of heaven, he couldn’t exert it.

Relying solely on the strength of his physical body, how could he withstand the power of this saber?

“Just a mere Ghost King.

Even Yama would have to be polite when he sees Old Sun, so who are you to act so arrogantly!”

Sun Wukong showed a fierce expression, baring his teeth and leering at the Great Strength Ghost King.

The Great Strength Ghost King was also seeing such a Great Demon for the first time.

One that had caused heavy losses to the celestial Soldiers and Generals of the celestial Court, compelling Yang Jian to take action and in the end, even prompting the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way to personally intervene.

Had it not been for this, who knows to what extent this monkey would’ve been wreaking havoc.

So even though this monkey was now sealed and could not wield his full strength, the Great Strength Ghost King still felt a bit hesitant.

“Haha!

celestial Court folk, all such cowards.

If you’re too scared to execute Old Sun, then tell the Emperor Father to send someone braver!”

Sun Wukong, seeing the Great Strength Ghost King backing away, couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he spoke.

“Damned demon monkey!”

The Great Strength Ghost King’s face turned grim and displeased, being ridiculed by the monkey in front of so many celestial Soldiers and Generals, his pride was also at stake.

He raised his hand, and a token appeared in his grasp.

At that moment, he began muttering an incantation, and as a dragon’s roar sounded, Sun Wukong started to slowly levitate beneath the chains, while the hovering celestial Saber above had been waiting for quite some time.

“Strike!”

The Great Strength Ghost King bellowed, continuously forming magical hand signs with his hands, and the Token in his hand emitted streaks of extraordinary divine light.

A buzzing sound resounded, and a beam of light shot out from the Token, heading straight for the celestial Saber floating in the void above.

Buzz!

As the beam of light entered the celestial Saber, it burst forth with a sky-shattering saber glow; an aura of unrivaled sharpness swept out, and then it seemed to tear apart the heavens and earth as it shot straight down towards the figure below.

Such terrifying might; even a Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal would be unable to block the slightest bit of this saber’s radiance.

At this instant, as the saber came crashing down, it seemed as if it would tear open the very fabric of heaven and earth.

As the saber descended, all the celestial Soldiers and Generals involuntarily held their breath, seemingly witnessing the next moment when Sun Wukong would be sliced into nonexistence by this blow.

The Demon-Slaying Saber descended.

It brought with it a swath of sharp luminescence, enveloping Sun Wukong from above.

Clang!

A sound of metal striking metal rang out abruptly from the Execution Platform for Demons, accompanied by sparks flying.

This sound lasted a long time, drifting outward.

It nearly reverberated through the entire celestial Court.

In front of the Execution Platform for Demons, the celestial Court Deities who had come to witness the execution.

At this moment, their gazes were all fixed on the silhouette between the Coiled Dragon Stone Columns.

But the next moment, all the celestial Court Deities saw this sight and were startled, their expressions shocked.

The Demon-Slaying Saber slowly lifted off, and the figure below was miraculously unharmed.

Sun Wukong remained bound between the two Coiling Dragon Pillars; he was grinning from ear to ear at the many celestial Court Deities before him.

Wukong shook his head, finding to his surprise he had not died.

He had thought he was about to reveal his true form this time.

However, he was cultivating one of the strongest physical and Primordial Spirit techniques in the world.

Although he had not yet reached the peak of cultivation, he was still capable of withstanding this blow.

At this moment, he bared his teeth in a grin, looking at the many stunned celestial Court Deities, and loudly said, “It seems that this saber is just as useless as all of you celestial Court Deities.

Old Sun’s head is quite hard; you better go sharpen that saber properly!

Otherwise, Old Sun might end up breaking it!”

The Southern Dipper Star Lord, in charge of punishments, looked towards the Great Strength Ghost King.

The Great Strength Ghost King himself wore a look of disbelief, as he, the celestial executioner, had never before witnessed such a scene.

Immediately, he hurriedly flicked his fingers and cast several magical laws, infusing them into the Token.

The Token shone brightly, and a humming sound emanated from it.

Ripples spread out from the Token, and then a beam of light, far surpassing the previous one, shot out from the Token.

It landed on the Demon-Slaying Saber.

Buzz!

The Demon-Slaying Saber emitted blinding light, and countless patterns emerged upon it.

Overhead, a Daoist Charm had condensed, exerting such a deterrent force that even the Deities of the celestial Court around couldn’t help but feel a trembling in their hearts.

“Chop!”

As the Great Strength Ghost King gave the command, the Demon-Slaying Saber above fiercely descended once again.

This time, the surrounding void began to show anomalies.

It seemed as if countless ghostly shadows of the Demon Race, who had died, were screaming, attempting to drag Sun Wukong down into Hell with them.

The immortals and gods, witnessing this scene, thought to themselves that this monkey should finally perish and his Dao disappear.

However…

“Clang!”

There was another sound of metal clashing, sparks flying.

Yet, Sun Wukong remained completely immobile.

Seeing this, the Great Strength Ghost King furrowed his brows.

Not just him, but even the surrounding Deities of the celestial Court were also taken aback.

Clearly, the Demon-Slaying Saber had been unleashed to its utmost power, and it still could not subdue Sun Wukong.

Could this monkey’s head be excessively tenacious?

The Great Strength Ghost King, looking at Sun Wukong’s still smiling face, was filled with immense anger.

“Chop again!”

The Demon Blade soared and fell once more.

“Clang!”

Still, nothing changed.

“Chop for me!”

“Chop again!”

“Chop!”

“I refuse to believe I can’t kill this monkey, chop!”

“Chop!”

“Chop again!”

Continuously driving the Demon Blade to rise and fall, the Great Strength Ghost King’s expression started to turn ugly.

Yet, even so, Sun Wukong remained completely unharmed.

“I refuse to believe it; others can be slain, but not you!”

The Great Strength Ghost King’s entire body surged with a ghastly aura.

This time, he was channeling his strength to its peak, and the Token in his hand was emitting a ray of light far beyond any previous.

“Buzz!”

The Demon-Slaying Saber, infused with this ray of light, erupted with numerous patterns of the Demon Race on its blade, along with copious amounts of fresh blood.

Even ghostly forms of members of the Demon Race who had met their gruesome end on this blade began to coalesce.

All of these beings were immensely powerful, and now a torrent of resentment enveloped the saber before it descended swiftly.

Feeling such power, the Deities of the celestial Court were all deeply shaken.

Then a terrifying force swept down.

“Clang!”

The demon blade, bursting with blinding, sharp light, chopped down.

At that moment, the blade’s light struck right on top of Sun Wukong’s head.

But this time, there were no sparks flying.

Was the monkey about to die?

Seeing this unfold, all the deities turned their gaze toward the Demon Blade and Sun Wukong.

However, at the very next moment.

“Crack!”

A strange cracking sound echoed, and in an instant, the Demon Blade that had made contact with Sun Wukong’s head astonishingly shattered, developing a fissure, followed by numerous fine cracks that spread quickly in all directions.

These cracks spread outwards.

“Boom!”

A muffled sound was heard.

This execution weapon of the Demon Court, known since ancient times, surprisingly fractured and then collapsed during the attempt to slay the demon monkey.

All the deities couldn’t help but show an incredulous expression, finding it hard to believe that such a powerful Demon Blade could be shattered by Sun Wukong instead.

“Old Sun told you this blade wouldn’t cut it.

I told you to sharpen it properly, and now look, the blade’s broken.

What are you going to use to kill Old Sun?”

Sun Wukong was also stunned, then burst into laughter.

Seeing this, the Great Strength Ghost King was seething with rage.

The Southern Dipper Star Lord, witnessing this, was so furious he trembled, and with a loud shout he ordered, “Use the Immortal Axe to chop this monkey to pieces!”

During executions, it wasn’t uncommon for some to have strong enough powers, so in addition to the Demon Blade, there was an Immortal Axe on standby.

Now that the Demon Blade was ineffective and even shattered by Sun Wukong, the command was given to use this powerful Immortal Axe.

“Yes!”

Upon hearing the order, the celestial Generals stepped forward, each wielding a mighty Immortal Axe brimming with power.

These celestial Generals burst forth mightily, transforming into a beam of white light rushing directly towards Sun Wukong.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Amid the rumbling sounds, the Immortal Axes targeted and descended upon Sun Wukong.
