The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1228: Inner Universe

Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Inner Universe

"Heh heh heh! Die, all of you!"

Sun Wukong cackled, his eyes emitting a frightening red glow. He swung the Chaos Purple-Gold Rod, shredding space and annihilating all laws.

No matter how the saints used their Divine Powers, they simply couldn’t touch Sun Wukong.

Though he had succumbed to the demon within, Sun Wukong’s combat instinct remained intact. Surrounded by numerous saints, he moved swiftly, and each swing of his rod meant the explosive destruction of a saint’s physical body.

Sword Saint held his twin blades, watching Sun Wukong’s ghost-like figure, his face covered in beads of cold sweat.

He was intimidated.

Sun Wukong was simply too strong. Even encircled by over a dozen saints, he rampaged like a tiger among sheep.

"If this continues... I might perish here..."

Sword Saint struggled internally. In the inner universe, he was considered a peer to the Feathered Sky Sword Ancestor, both revered as Sword Saints, both achieving their paths through slaughter.

But faced with an even more frenzied Sun Wukong, Sword Saint faltered.

"Yi ha ha ha—"

At that moment, Sun Wukong burst into bizarre laughter again, reverting to his mischievously pesky state from when he first emerged from the rock. Holding the Chaos Purple-Gold Rod in one hand, he thrust it upwards!

Instantly, the Chaos Purple-Gold Rod grew exponentially, reaching hundreds of thousands of feet in height and a diameter of ten thousand feet, and it continued to expand.

Creatures within the microcosmos swallowed hard at the sight of the gigantic Chaos Purple-Gold Rod, their hearts pounding.

Even the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny couldn’t help but gasp.

What kind of magical weapon was this?

"Run! The Holy Sect is no more!"

"Run? Where to?"

"To that side! That spacetime rift might lead to the inner universe!"

"But there are so many Manifesting Saints guarding it..."

"Never mind that! Just run!"

Disciples and elders of the Holy Sect flew towards the spacetime rift like a panicked school of fish.

With a tremendous bang, the Chaos Purple-Gold Rod pierced through the top of the microcosmos, torrents of spiritual energy surged upward, and the terrifying suction force instantly pulled in weaker beings.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Yang Jian protected Qin Jun, creating a light shield with his magic to envelop him.

Gods and demons below the level of saint had already retreated to the outer universe, leaving only those at the level of saint to accompany Qin Jun.

Sun Wukong laughed arrogantly, his right hand propping up the Chaos Purple-Gold Rod, which resembled a godly mountain at creation. The twin beams of red light from his eyes made the saints recoil wherever he looked.

In a short span, already six saints from the inner universe had been obliterated by Sun Wukong, utterly annihilated with no chance of reincarnation.

The dominance of the Supreme Heaven Great Sage was unparalleled.

Grinning maliciously, Sun Wukong withdrew the Chaos Purple-Gold Rod and then flew toward the spacetime rift, incredibly fast.

"Insects! Die!"

Sun Wukong lifted the Chaos Purple-Gold Rod and smashed it down, spanning billions of miles and instantly exploding thousands of Holy Sect disciples and quite a few inner universe Manifesting Saints, scattering their blood mist throughout the microcosmos.

This scene chilled the surviving beings to the bone.

Among them, Kun Qu and Ye Nanfeng also met their doom, obliterated utterly.

Reveling in the slaughter, Sun Wukong had completely lost his senses. He quickly raised the rod and flew toward the spacetime rift, turning into golden light as he entered it and disappeared.

"Not good! Hurry and follow!"

Qin Jun cried out urgently, and Yang Jian immediately took him to fly after him, with Ji Bubai, Li Yuanba, Mortal Path, Fuxi, and Houtu swiftly following.

They were all sages, flying at extremely high speeds.

"Damn it! He’s entered the inner universe!"

Sword Saint Shangguan exclaimed, swiftly chasing after him, and the remaining surviving sages did the same.

For a moment, more than fifteen sages chased after Sun Wukong.

Xiao Rushui, Di Tianwu, and other talents could only grit their teeth and fly towards the long space-time tunnel. The small universe was gradually falling apart; if this continued, they would be obliterated by the chaotic flows of space-time.

Soon, Qin Jun and the others entered the long space-time tunnel, surrounded by colorful, dazzling walls of space-time, enveloped by various dazzling lights, incredibly eye-catching.

Qin Jun glanced sideways, only to see Sword Saint Shangguan and the other sages keeping pace with them.

Sword Saint Shangguan was also sizing them up, feeling quite surprised in his heart. Six sages guarding one Daluo?

Even the top powers of the inner universe would have difficulty managing such a feat.

"What are you looking at! Careful or I’ll beat you to death!"

Ji Bubai cursed loudly. He was frustrated because he hadn’t been able to show off his strength in this battle.

Ever since he had fully mastered the Extreme Flame Demon God Form, he had been looking forward to the day it would come in handy.

Finally, displaying it in front of his son, he had failed to defeat the enemy, which was a massive embarrassment.

"Hmph!"

Sword Saint Shangguan snorted coldly, feeling very upset, but the urgent task was to hunt down Sun Wukong, so he could only suppress his anger.

"We head to the inner universe not only to search for Sun Wukong but to rescue Tathāgata as well," Qin Jun said solemnly, as for the outer universe, with so many Manifesting Saints and Half Holy, there was no need to worry.

He was also not worried about the Gods and Demons conspiring because they had grievances from previous lives, and if they harbored ulterior motives, their loyalty would decrease. Sages could be sent back to manage the situation if needed.

Before long, they flew out of the long space-time tunnel.

A blinding light flashed, and upon opening his eyes again, Qin Jun was met with a dazzling galaxy, similar to the outer universe, with billions of stars filling his vision. Looking closely, one could see many fairy mountains and divine islands floating, each radiating light, creating a magnificent scene.

Directly ahead, swirling thunderclouds surged as a column of bloody energy shot straight into the clouds, creating a striking visual impact.

"He’s there!"

Ji Bubai said in a deep voice. It was his first time in the inner universe as well. The starry sky floated with spiritual energy just like the outer universe, but it was much more abundant.

Leading the sages, Sword Saint Shangguan was the first to charge.

Disciples and elders of the Holy Sect also emerged one after another. Upon catching sight of Qin Jun and the others, they were so frightened that they scattered in all directions.

"Your Majesty, should we eliminate them?"

Li Yuanba, playing with the Universe Ruler, inquired. Now, neither Manifesting Saints nor Half Holy caught his eye, like ants that could be squashed at any moment.

Qin Jun shook his head, saying, "There are Three Thousand Great Ways, all leaving some room for life. These creatures are not worth considering."

After all, many disciples entered the Holy Sect just for cultivation and were not die-hard loyalists.

Even if we let the tiger return to the mountain, how many years would it take for them to grow strong enough to threaten Qin Jun?

They could grow, but Qin Jun’s growth rate was even faster!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Old Sun hates you guys who pretend to be upright and honest the most!"

Sun Wukong’s roar came through, along with shockwaves. Countless stars, small as grains of rice, were swept away by the shockwaves, turning to dust.

In battles of sages, stars were like specks of dust.

"You demon monkey, stop your evil deeds!"

Sword Saint Shangguan’s roar was heard, followed by a heavy impact that resonated through the entire galaxy.

Sword Saint Shangguan was bloodied, sent flying backward, crashing through several stars, and then vanished from Qin Jun’s sight.

Sun Wukong, at the peak of sage realm, was not someone a sage could contend with.
