Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 1296 - Chapter 1296 Chapter 815 The Forerunner

Chapter 1296: Chapter 815: The Forerunner Chapter 1296: Chapter 815: The Forerunner The Thunder Emperor’s expression was cold and aloof, his body stained with blood, yet his eyes were still filled with disdain. Standing upon the circle of the universe, he gazed at the Dark Giant with an unchanging face.

The village had no shortage of helpers, and not just any helpers – many of them were beings of the King’s Domain.

He wasn’t a reckless man; although the strength he displayed was ferocious and unmatched, in reality, his character allowed him to advance or retreat–a survivor at heart, with keen insight.

He was well aware that with his strength, he was truly no match for the Dark Giant, so without any hesitation, upon realizing this, he directly ran back to the village to call for help.

Just then, he saw a Monkey out for a stroll with his horse.

The two normally had a decent relationship, and adding to that the fact they were from the same village, the Monkey, without a second word, summoned an avatar to watch over the herd of Celestial Horses, while his True Body followed the Thunder Emperor in a mighty force to join the fight.

The Iron Rod swung violently, stirring up a thousand ripples.

The Monkey’s entire body shone with a dazzling golden light, each monkey hair sharp as a golden needle. His tiny body was like lightning piercing through the night sky, engaging in close combat from the get-go.

The Iron Rod, as heavy as ten thousand jun, seemed weightless in his hand, light as straw, swirling with an impenetrable defense. Each strike carried the force of howling gales and tsunamis, so exaggerated it seemed he could tear apart heaven and earth with brute strength alone.

The Monkey roared in fury, his Iron Rod whistling through the air as he aimed at the Dark Giant’s chest.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

The unimaginably hefty Rod pounded like it was striking a mountain of iron, emitting a dull thud of steel.

The Dark Giant’s figure was massive, overshadowing the sky, stepping within the universe, enveloped by the dense Dark Force, projecting an unassailable presence as if one man was holding the pass against ten thousand enemies.

But beneath the Stone Monkey’s unstoppable strike, even he had to take several steps back, with a slight caving in of the chest area.

“Kill!”

Pain struck, prompting an infuriated bellow from the Dark Giant.

He was among the first to step into the King’s Domain, and now, blessed by the Dark Force, had reached the stature of a Giant, regarding ordinary Immortal Kings as no more than ants.

Now, however, wounded by these “ants,” he felt as if he had lost all face, wishing nothing more than to swallow the Monkey whole.

Most Dark Beings had extremely chaotic consciousness, but those in the King’s Domain generally retained their own sense of thought, save for the corruption, no different from others.

The battle instantly escalated to its peak.

The Dark Giant’s massive palm came crashing down, rolling black fog surged like the tide, morphing into countless enormous Drake heads, each comparable to a towering mountain, viciously snapping at the Monkey…

“I say, if this is all the skill you’ve got, even Heaven King Laozi himself wouldn’t stand a chance at catching your Monkey lordship…”

The Monkey’s movements were extraordinarily agile, his three-foot-tall body blending seamlessly into the surrounding Clear Wind.

He not only perfectly dodged the Dark Giant’s attacks, but also found the right moment to counter-attack, each collision igniting waves of force, causing the void to tremor as if heaven and earth themselves were discolored with fear.

Moreover, knowing the opponent wasn’t like those ordinary senseless Dark Beings, from beginning to end he launched verbal counterattacks, using both hands and mouth to their fullest.

The Dark Giant, angered into continuous roars, refused to show weakness. Surging forward with a huge arm swing, countless Dark Runes burst forth, erupting with an intensely dark radiance, seeking to swallow everything.

However, that three-foot-tall Stone Monkey was simply too nimble, especially with his unimaginable speed, toppling over and vanishing an unknown distance away.

At the same time, the Monkey, seizing the right moment, swung his Iron Rod once more, carrying the weight of ten thousand jun, ripping through the sky, emitting a deafening swoosh.

This strike was forceful and heavy, using his full power. It was unimaginable, just the residual force from the swing of his Iron Rod could make the azure void tremble.

“Bang!”

“Spurt…”

From an altitude of ten thousand zhang, a curtain-like spray of black blood soared up into the air.

Even the Dark Giant’s robust body seemed incapable of withstanding it, vomiting blood as a gaping wound split open his torso, his dark flesh tumbling and writhing as if possessing its own life.

It wasn’t only because the three-foot stature harbored inconceivable power.

It was also because that Iron Rod was no ordinary object: grandiose and supremely sharp, fashioned from who knows what material, attack after attack, it directly pierced through the flesh.

“Such formidable strength!”

The Thunder Emperor pursed his lips; if the Monkey’s rod had struck him, his fate would have been even more miserable, especially since the physical robustness of that Dark Giant was greater than his own.

“This is what they call unique genius!”

In ordinary days, who had ever seen the Monkey cultivate?

Finding him practicing once was rare.

Every day, if he wasn’t looking after the herd of Celestial Horses, he was out walking them.

Everything could be managed by avatars, yet he chose to personally handle each matter.

Not taking cultivation seriously yet having such strength, what if he did take it seriously – wouldn’t it be even more unimaginable?!

Who knew from which obscure corner Adult had found such Heavenly Pride, absolutely monstrous.

Fortunately, they were on good terms.

The Thunder Emperor’s thoughts raced, though that wasn’t what he truly intended to think about, let alone at such a critical juncture.

He was purely shocked by the Monkey’s rod and his unparalleled speed.

Gathering his mind in an instant, the Thunder Emperor found the right moment and decisively acted.

His palm shimmered with lightning, as if the Thunder God himself had descended, amidst dark clouds and the repeated peals of thunder, he struck at the teetering and irregular-breathed Dark Giant.

Accompanied by a thunderous roar that would want to split one’s ears,

Dense and numerous, like countless arrows, the purple lightning from the sky lashed down.
