Chapter 606: Chapter 606: The Twelve Dignitaries of Xuanxu

Hearing Zhu Bajie’s cheering, Sun Wukong looked back in astonishment.

What the heck...

A pig demon dares to call him brother?

Wait till the battle is over, he’s going to give him a good thrashing!

With that thought in his heart, Sun Wukong once again swung his cudgel towards Divine Wuji, his towering stature causing tremors in the earth with every step, making Divine Wuji seem rather small in comparison.

Facing the smashing of the cudgel, the kneeling Divine Wuji lifted his black greatsword in a cross slash, the clang of metal echoing loudly, sparks flying everywhere. Sun Wukong’s strength was so immense that he forced Divine Wuji to slide across the ground, carving out two long, deep grooves resembling canyons.

The twelve powerful beings from the Ancient Immortal Realm within Divine Wuji grew even more enraged, being violently thrashed by an impudent monkey caused their anger to explode.

Boom, boom, boom—

Streams of black power flowed from Divine Wuji’s body, whipping the earth, followed by him flinging the black greatsword into the sky, then swinging his right hand towards Sun Wukong.

In an instant, the black greatsword ripped through the air, moving even faster than before, piercing straight through Sun Wukong’s body. Sun Wukong’s fierce expression froze in a moment.

Disbelief filled his eyes, he obviously had not anticipated Divine Wuji’s sword to be so fast.

Qin Jun’s eyes widened, "My heavens, Monkey Brother isn’t going to be defeated, is he?"

Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the others were also incredibly anxious, for if even Sun Wukong were defeated, then truly no one could vanquish Divine Wuji.

"This guy has an immortal body!"

Yang Jian muttered through clenched teeth, bringing Tang Sanzang and the others to a realization.

Among the powers of the Journey to the West world, Sun Wukong’s might not be supreme, but his immortality was an absolute cheat. Perhaps only the truly powerful could slap him to death, but at least Yang Jian and the others had never seen such a being take action.

Sun Wukong was seen holding the cudgel with one hand, using it to support and balance his body. His breastplate was shattered, but on closer inspection, it was evident that his chest had not been breached, although blood still trickled from the corners of his mouth.

The sword strike had just caused some damage to his internal organs.

The twelve powerful beings inside Divine Wuji also sensed something was wrong. Why wasn’t this creature falling?

"No! His physical body has reached an inconceivable level!"

"How is this possible! How could such an aberration exist in the mortal world?"

"If this continues, we’ll surely be defeated; this body can’t hold up much longer!"

"If this body perishes, it will also harm our divine souls."

The twelve powerhouses began to argue, clearly entertaining the thought of retreating.

At that moment, Sun Wukong slowly lifted his head, his monkey fur bristling, his eyes full of blood vessels, his fangs seemed to have grown longer, and his aura became even more ferocious. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Not even heavenly thunder and earthly fire can burn me to death, nor can beheading and refining affect me, what makes you think you can?"

Boom!

Sun Wukong suddenly took a step forward, his colossal form like the mighty Mount Buzhou, shattering the ground with a single step, which terrified the divine spirits within Divine Wuji.

How did this demon ape seem to get stronger as the battle raged on?

"Go!"

Divine Wuji suddenly leaped up, soaring towards the skies.

How could Sun Wukong let him have his way? He swung the towering cudgel like a pillar of heaven, the whistling wind compressing the air, creating sonic booms.

Bang!

The cudgel struck Divine Wuji’s back, causing him to spew blood.

The sight made even Qin Jun feel the pain.

Compared to Yuan Hong, Sun Wukong was truly a violence-upgraded version!

Just when he was about to hit the ground, Divine Wuji’s body suddenly shrank and disappeared into thin air.

"Escaped?"

Qin Jun frowned and asked, while the God and Demon warriors behind him let out a sigh of relief.

There was no helping it, Divine Wuji was just too insane. Even the frenzied Sun Wukong couldn’t kill him. An enemy like that was the most terrifying.

"Phew—finally over..."

Zhu Bajie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, while the blood-soaked Li Yuanba said irritably, "You didn’t even join the fight, yet you act so tired."

"What do you know, ’When the mind is anxious, the body tires.’ The pressure in my heart is no less than yours," Zhu Bajie said with shameless confidence.

Qin Jun turned to look back, and saw Yang Jian, Nine-headed Insect, Sixth Golden Crow, Li Yuanba, the Nine-tailed Sage, and Kua Fu were all as bloodied as if they had emerged from a bath of it, looking extremely gruesome.

If it hadn’t been for them, Qin Jun would have been killed by Divine Wuji, so he felt deeply grateful in his heart.

"Thank you all!"

Qin Jun said solemnly with a bow. Facing the madness of Divine Wuji, the six great generals did not flinch. This battle would definitely make their names known far and wide because there were at least several million spectators, all of whom were deeply shocked and admiring of their fighting spirit.

"Your Majesty is too kind!"

"Haha! That was a thrilling fight!"

"Hmph! I must become even stronger!"

"That guy’s God Summoning Technique was truly formidable."

The Nine-tailed Sage and others replied with a smile and a bow. This battle did indeed foster a feeling of mutual respect among the six of them, but even more than that, they felt dissatisfaction.

After all, they had lost!

"Ding! Side quest triggered—The Wrath of the Twelve Xuanxu Sovereigns! Task details: Divine Wuji invoked the God Summoning Technique, causing the bodies of the twelve sovereigns of the Ancient Immortal Realm to be possessed. However, because your side defeated them, they have become furious and harbor murderous intent towards your side. Should you kill them, you will receive two God and Demon peak opportunities, one God and Demon summoning chance, one random lottery, and one skill inheritance!"

"Ding! Title task triggered—Master of Ten Domains! Task details: Because your side defeated Divine Wuji and gained great fame, if you conquer ten domains, you will receive one God and Demon peak opportunity, one God and Demon dungeon chance, one God and Demon summoning chance, one random lottery, and trigger the Master of a Hundred Domains task!"

Two successive system prompts sounded, causing Qin Jun’s eyes to narrow involuntarily.

It had been a long time since he last triggered a quest. He hadn’t expected to trigger two at once this time, and the rewards were very generous.

But completing them would not be easy.

Just then, Sun Wukong flew over on his Somersault Cloud, carrying his golden cudgel, prompting Yang Jian and the others to quickly shield Qin Jun.

"Tsk tsk, Third-Eyed One, I didn’t expect you to have switched to a new master," Sun Wukong said, seemingly amused, but a fierce light was hidden in his eyes.

His battle with Erlang Shen left him with a sense of dissatisfaction, so the sight of Erlang Shen made him eager for another round of combat.

"Wukong."

Tang Sanzang spoke up, his expression somewhat complex. However, at this moment, Sun Wukong didn’t recognize him at all.

Because of Tathāgata, Sun Wukong now felt immense aversion towards the monk, and he said fiercely, "A little monk like you dares to call my name so casually? Believe it or not, I’ll beat you to death!"

Sweat...

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched. Monkey Brother was truly a Monkey Brother, always shouting about fighting and killing.

"Sun Wukong, why don’t you come back to the palace with me and we’ll talk?" Qin Jun said, knowing that if they kept this up, they would definitely come to blows.

Sun Wukong nodded and replied, "I am also curious as to how you saved me. Also, this place seems somewhat different."

His keen senses told him that the spiritual energy in this world was richer than in the Journey to the West world.

Thanks to the system, he had a loyalty level of fifty towards Qin Jun, and he found Qin Jun fairly agreeable.
