Chapter 619: Chapter 619: The Battle between the Giant Bird and Sun Wukong

"Great Sage, please show mercy!"

Qin Jun hurriedly shouted. Although Li Yuanba was one small realm higher than Sun Wukong, his combat power was not as good as Sun Wukong’s, especially now that he had fallen into a berserk state and lost all reason.

Sun Wukong curled his lips. He would like to show mercy, but Li Yuanba certainly would not. What if he carelessly got killed by Li Yuanba?

Just then, Li Yuanba burst out of the dust, roaring lowly as he charged toward Sun Wukong. He didn’t hold back his aura at all, causing everyone else’s hearts to leap with fear.

What on earth was going on?

Why had Li Yuanba suddenly gone mad?

Seeing Li Yuanba’s bloodshot eyes, they couldn’t help but feel terrified of Crystal Island.

There must be something invisible on Crystal Island, something that had bewitched Li Yuanba.

Clang—

Li Yuanba swung his double hammers with all his might onto the golden cudgel, his strength capable of destroying mountains and seas, sending Sun Wukong flying and crashing into the stomach walls thousands of meters high.

If it had been someone else, they would have probably turned into mincemeat, but Sun Wukong, being of an indestructible vajra body, only felt a slight itch.

"Damn it! I can’t stand it!"

Sun Wukong bared his teeth and grimaced, letting out a strange cry before pouncing toward Li Yuanba, his golden armor shining like a layer of flames under the red light.

Clang!

Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba clashed again. The two fought a rapid battle in mid-air, the ringing of metal upon metal resounding incessantly. They moved so fast they were mere afterimages, so much so that even Qin Jun, with his cultivation at the sixth level of the Immortal Realm, couldn’t follow with his eyes.

"Ji Yongsheng, do you know what’s going on?"

Qin Jun, in a state of extreme anxiety, could only turn to Ji Yongsheng for answers once more. After all, the Black Sea King Whale was once Ji Yongsheng’s battle pet; he should know something about it.

Ji Yongsheng said helplessly, "I really have no idea. After all these tens of thousands of years, the cultivation of the Black Sea King Whale is estimated to be at the pinnacle of the Daluo Realm. It’s one of the strongest beings in the human domain. Even I, at my peak, wouldn’t necessarily be able to kill it easily. As for what is hiding inside its small world, I truly don’t know."

He felt bitterness in his heart. After so many years, creatures that once served under him had become top powers in the world, while he was merely a remnant soul.

The sea changes into mulberry fields, such is the cycle of the Heavenly Dao.

After hearing this, Qin Jun’s face showed a bitter smile. With no other choice, he turned to the system for help. However, the system’s response was even more resolute: "Unknown situation!"

Meanwhile, Li Yuanba and Sun Wukong fought so fiercely they began to lose themselves, their aura erupting in such a way that the stomach’s ocean of gastric fluid churned violently, putting the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on edge, with some barely able to hold on. The prolonged flying had nearly depleted their spiritual power, and being frightened by Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba’s aura was an agonizing experience indeed.

"Your Majesty, we must get onto the island!"

Han Xin suddenly spoke to Qin Jun with a determined tone. Normally, he would have no place to say such a thing, but he couldn’t bear to see his soldiers fall.

Qin Jun glanced around and saw that many soldiers were already faltering. He immediately nodded in agreement.

Even though Crystal Island might hide something sinister, they no longer had a choice. They either get digested by the gastric fluid of the Black Sea King Whale or land on the island to fight for a chance at life.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers thus flew into Crystal Island.

Sun Wukong fought with his eyes filled with blood vessels, his face showing excitement and madness. Although he had sparred with Li Yuanba in the Great Qin Heavenly Court, they had always held back. But now, it was a completely different scene, one where they could fight unrestrainedly.

The stomach lining of the Black Sea King Whale was even tougher than the spatial barriers of the Southern Domain’s heaven world, allowing them not to be restrained.

Clang—

Sun Wukong raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang high with both hands and smashed it down towards Li Yuanba. The red cape behind him and the two phoenix wings on his head fluttered ceaselessly, giving him an aura of unrivaled dominance.

Facing the Ruyi Jingu Bang, Li Yuanba took the blow head-on with his right hammer, his body trembling slightly, but he was not sent flying. Instead, he swung his left hammer towards Sun Wukong’s chest.

Sun Wukong’s smile remained as wild and unrestrained as ever, and he didn’t dodge, choosing to take Li Yuanba’s Golden Peng Divine Hammer with his body.

With a clang, Sun Wukong’s body didn’t tremble at all, and the smile on his face became even more ferocious. Li Yuanba, who had fallen into a state of frenzy, was not shocked. On the contrary, he thrust his right knee towards Sun Wukong’s abdomen.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Wukong suddenly headbutted forward, striking Li Yuanba in the face, sending fresh blood splattering, and causing him to pause in his actions.

Seizing the opportunity, Sun Wukong struck Li Yuanba’s stomach with his staff. His arms’ muscles tensed as he roared and swept Li Yuanba upwards with a heave.

Boom—a loud noise erupted!

Li Yuanba smashed into the hundred-meter crystal orb embedded in the stomach lining, directly shattering fragments of crystal that fell like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

Qin Jun watched with tense nerves. Although the battle between Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba was blood-pumping, both were his beloved generals; he would be heartbroken regardless of who got injured.

Perhaps the Giant Bird and Sun Wukong were fated to clash, destined to fight a tremendous earth-shattering battle in any world they were in.

If it had been before, Qin Jun would have looked forward to it, wanting to know who was stronger. Unfortunately, now his heart was filled with nothing but anxiety and concern.

"Ah—"

Just then, Liu Ruolai suddenly screamed. Qin Jun turned to look and saw Chang’e grabbing Liu Ruolai’s wrist tightly, her eyes turning as blood-red as Li Yuanba’s. The stunning beauty of her face now conveyed a different kind of horror.

Qin Jun was startled, for it was not just Chang’e; Zhu Bajie, Han Xin, Diting, and tens of thousands of soldiers all had blood-red eyes, terror-inducing like red lanterns, especially stark against the pitch-black surroundings of the crystal island.

"This..."

Qin Jun was slow to process what was happening, but seeing Liu Ruolai struggling, he quickly flashed to Chang’e’s side, intending to snatch Liu Ruolai away.

Fortunately, Chang’e appeared to be in a daze and lacking sense, allowing Qin Jun to rescue Liu Ruolai; otherwise, with her Golden Immortal Realm cultivation, Qin Jun wouldn’t have dreamed of taking anything from her grasp.

He quickly backed away holding Liu Ruolai, creating distance between them and Chang’e and the others.

As he watched them, one by one, seemingly falling into demonic possession, Qin Jun nearly went mad. First, it was Li Yuanba, and now aside from him, Liu Ruolai, and Sun Wukong, everyone seemed cursed. Was this still playable?

Sun Wukong, who was fighting Li Yuanba, also noticed his peril and immediately let go of Li Yuanba, flashing to Qin Jun’s side.

"It seems there are prohibitions on this island, or something hidden."

Sun Wukong said gravely, daring to reach this conclusion because his fiery-golden eyes hadn’t detected the presence of other beings.

Qin Jun’s expression grew even more troubled, as tens of thousands of soldiers began to close in on them, with Chang’e, Zhu Bajie, Han Xin, and Diting looking all the more murderous. Coupled with Li Yuanba in the air, even with Sun Wukong’s help, victory seemed out of reach.

The key issue was that these people were his subordinates, and he was unwilling to harm them.

"Damn it! What exactly is happening... Why are the three of us unaffected?"

Qin Jun gritted his teeth. The hundred-meter crystal orb overhead, weakened by Li Yuanba’s strike, dimmed the light, darkening the surroundings. The tens of thousands of people resembled fierce ghosts in the night, giving even Qin Jun goosebumps.
