The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 605

Chapter 605: 605

Boom—

The earth began to tremble violently, and Divine Wuji’s aura had once again grown stronger.

Countless arrows of blood splattered from Divine Wuji’s body. The fierce battle with Li Yuanba and the six other God and Demon had already inflicted substantial damage on Divine Wuji’s physical form. Now, having been struck consecutively by Sun Wukong’s staff twice, Divine Wuji had nearly burst apart.

Luckily, the God Summoning Technique was heaven-defying.

Twelve powerful beings from the Ancient Immortal Realm were attached to him, continuously increasing their magical power, turning Divine Wuji into a veritable war machine. His own consciousness had already sunk into Chaos.

Sun Wukong’s expression shifted subtly. As strong as he was, he was still just at the early stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. Divine Wuji, at that moment, seemed on the verge of surpassing even the late stages of the Golden Immortal Realm. The aura he emitted was alarming to Sun Wukong, but not yet enough to drive him to despair.

"Kill him!"

The twelve voices echoed in unison, resounding throughout the Southern Domain, terrifying countless Imperial Dynasties and kingdoms.

"My heavens! What in the world is happening?"

"Where are these voices coming from?"

"Such a terrifying aura, are immortals and gods fighting?"

"What on earth is going on?"

Since the furious roar of the Nine Spirit Primordial Saint, the entire Southern Domain had been plunged into panic. Now, Divine Wuji’s voice was making countless people tremble with fear.

Divine Wuji leapt into the air, and at the same time, his right hand once again conjured the massive black sword from thin air. As he took off, the ruins beneath him collapsed entirely, and dust billowed up hundreds of feet high.

"Hmph!"

Sun Wukong snorted coldly and immediately dived downwards. His right hand raised the golden cudgel over his head, which rapidly grew in size.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang, the wish-fulfilling sacred weapon, changes size at will!

With a swoosh, Sun Wukong charged out of the giant spatial hole at the bottom of the Southern Domain’s heavenly world. Facing Divine Wuji, who was hurtling toward him from below, he showed no fear; instead, he was even more excited, his smile fierce and wild.

The passion for battle in his bones was even stronger than that of the ancient Witch Clan!

"Go down for me!"

Sun Wukong roared, swinging the golden cudgel, which had transformed into a pillar reaching toward the heavens, stirring the wind and tearing through space, aiming straight for Divine Wuji’s head.

This swing was even more powerful than the previous ones!

Clang—

This time, Divine Wuji managed to block it with his black sword.

The striking of the golden cudgel against the massive sword created a piercing clash. The shockwaves swept around invisibly yet tangibly, which, if any cultivator were nearby, would likely pulverize them into ash.

The two began to grapple in midair. Sun Wukong’s face contorted ferociously, his arm muscles bulging, contrasting sharply with his physique.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...

Shadows like long whips emerged from Divine Wuji’s body, lashing toward Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong shifted into a golden light to dodge, and in the blink of an eye, arrived behind Divine Wuji. He cursed under his breath as he plucked a tuft of hair from the top of his head: "The thing Old Sun fears least is being outnumbered!"

He had already realized that Divine Wuji’s body harbored the magical power and souls of twelve powerful beings. Far from being daunted, he was even more exhilarated.

At the same time, Qin Jun, leading the mighty beings from above the Taiyi Realm, quickly flew to the front of the giant spatial hole. Looking down, he saw Sun Wukong blow into the palm of his hand, directly releasing a thousand split bodies.

Extra-Law Split Bodies!

Qin Jun was the most familiar with this technique. However, if he were to summon a thousand split bodies, his magical power would be quickly depleted.

A thousand Sun Wukongs quickly surrounded Divine Wuji, each wielding a golden cudgel and laughing wildly, treating Divine Wuji as if he were prey.

"How is this guy still not dead?"

Qin Jun asked Black Butterfly Fairy in surprise. Divine Wuji had been beaten bloody by Li Yuanba and the others, and now after taking two more blows from Sun Wukong, he seemed even stronger. Qin Jun didn’t understand.

Could this fellow possibly be the protagonist?

Is this cheating?

"Divine Wuji is naturally a body cultivator, and now that he has employed the God Summoning Technique, I don’t know which immortal he has summoned, but he can’t maintain this state forever. His physical body will eventually give out," speculated the Black Butterfly Fairy, her heart heavy as she watched Divine Wuji being pummeled by a thousand Sun Wukongs.

Back then, she had passed by a small town where she saw a young boy being whipped almost to death in a field by his foster father for being lazy.

Unable to bear it, she saved the boy and led him on the path of immortal cultivation. After the boy grew up, she left to continue her search for the most important person in her life.

Thousands of years later, the boy had grown up, and upon their reunion, the Black Butterfly Fairy saw the ambition in him and helped him establish the God Temple.

That boy was Divine Wuji.

So even though Divine Wuji intended to kill Qin Jun, seeing him reduced to such a state still caused the Black Butterfly Fairy distress. However, if she had to choose between Qin Jun and Divine Wuji, she would unhesitatingly choose Qin Jun.

The reason was known only to her.

After hearing her words, Qin Jun’s tension also eased.

He just feared that Divine Wuji couldn’t be killed!

"This monkey is incredible!"

Ji Yongsheng’s voice suddenly echoed in Qin Jun’s mind, filled with astonishment.

Nonsense!

This is the Monkey King, one of the four great spiritual monkeys!

Qin Jun thought smugly since he was the one who had summoned Sun Wukong.

"What are the four great spiritual monkeys?" Ji Yongsheng asked curiously.

Qin Jun rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to explain.

Meanwhile, the battle below had reached a fever pitch.

Sun Wukongs, swarming like locusts, assaulted Divine Wuji, whose colossal size made him less agile and vulnerable at close quarters, catching him off guard.

Despite the vast difference in size, Sun Wukong’s strength was in no way inferior to his.

It was like an adult being bitten by a mosquito, yet the pain was akin to being punched at full force by another adult.

Boom—

Suddenly, Divine Wuji swung his arm, and his magic power swept away the surrounding Sun Wukong split bodies like waves.

His crimson hair danced wildly, his eyes filled with murderous intent bore into Sun Wukong, as if he wished he could devour him.

"Damn monkey, just who exactly are you!"

Twelve voices thundered from within Divine Wuji, once again asking in unison, causing Qin Jun to scratch his ear involuntarily.

Those behind him who knew Sun Wukong had complex expressions on their faces; they were shocked to encounter the Supreme Heaven Great Sage at the height of his unruliness.

Compared to the Sun Wukong they knew from the journey to the West, he was a completely different person.

"Your Grandpa Sun is the Supreme Heaven Great Sage!"

Sun Wukong sneered, recalling his Thousand Illusions and activating his ability to transform heaven and earth, enlarging his body to a towering size.

With a swing of his staff, he struck Divine Wuji on the shoulder, using brute force to send Divine Wuji flying.

Compared to Divine Wuji, Sun Wukong was truly the one with an immortal body.

None of the Heavenly Court’s punishments could kill him, not even the crucible of the Supreme Elder could end him; instead, it made his physical body even more formidable.

Perhaps the Tathāgata suppressed Sun Wukong for five hundred years because he couldn’t kill him.

So in the tales of the true and false Monkey Kings, the theory that Six-Eared Macaque killed Sun Wukong with a single strike and then impersonated him is next to impossible.

"Go Monkey Brother, you got this!"

Zhu Bajie couldn’t help but cheer for Sun Wukong, while Tang Sanzang and Sha Wujing appeared calm, as they had entirely embraced Buddhism, their every thought was on emptiness.
