Great Demon Sun Wukong

It was possible to make out that it was a toad, despite not being able to see just how enormous it was, purely because of the stony bumps covering its body and its half-crouching, four-legged stance. Coupled with what Ye Zi had just mentioned, one could guess that the entire Blood Mist Mountain had transformed into that toad. Hidden Mountain Agreement, this was too terrifying. Wukong had encountered gigantic demons before; for instance, the enormous Giant Spirit God during his havoc in the Heavenly Palace, in front of whom Wukong was no more than the size of a little finger.

But even compared to the Giant Spirit God, this stone toad was vastly different, akin to comparing a baby to a fully-grown, muscular adult. In Sun Wukong’s memory, he could not recall ever having seen such a colossal creature. Of course, Pangu the Great God, the creator of the Pangu Realm, had a true form that would likely be even larger than this when manifested. Such immensity left Sun Wukong at a loss for words, unable to even find a proper adjective to describe it.

"How, how do we even fight this thing? Are we supposed to destroy the entire mountain?" Ye Zi knew about the origins and abilities of the Hidden Mountain Agreement toad, but this was his first time seeing it. He had learned so much because he had heard other ferocious beasts discussing it. Now, faced with the towering toad that pierced the clouds, Ye Zi could not help but feel his throat go dry. If it were merely a plain stone toad, no matter how large it might be, Ye Zi was confident in using his plant-based powers to cause internal disintegration. However, this was no ordinary stone; this was Blood Mist Mountain, one of the most dangerous places in the Patrolling Celestial World.

Just then, Sun Wukong seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Ye Zi and the Dragon Emperor, "What about Ming Tiekuang? He ran out of the protective shield, but now I don’t see him anywhere!" Both Ye Zi and the Dragon Emperor shook their heads. Sun Wukong sighed inwardly, feeling anxious, but knew there were no good solutions at present. The most pressing issue was figuring out how to deal with this stone mountain toad; otherwise, not only Ming Tiekuang, but all three of them could end up dead here.

In fact, when your enemy is larger than you, it might be possible to use their size and lack of agility against them, winning through speed. However, when the enemy’s size exceeds your ability to comprehend, whether it’s speed, strength, or defense, all become ridiculous in the shadow of its immense size. This was something Sun Wukong and his companions understood very clearly. As the three huddled and quietly discussed their next move, Sun Wukong suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and, with a loud shout, pushed the two beside him away.

Immediately, a stone pillar, bright red yet covered with dark green mucus, came crashing down from the sky. Had Sun Wukong not acted quickly along with Ye Zi and the Dragon Emperor’s swift reaction, they would definitely have been smashed by it. As they caught their breath from the shock, the stone pillar suddenly retracted and vanished into the clouds, only to plummet down again. Sun Wukong’s Heaven and Earth Dao Eye opened, and he pierced through the endless void and dense clouds with his gaze to see what the stone pillar truly was.

"Avoid it at all costs, that’s the stone mountain toad’s tongue, and touching it means certain death!" Sun Wukong shouted at the Dragon Emperor and Ye Zi. Before his words fell, the toad’s towering pillar-like tongue sped down even faster, and with the constant sonic booms, the three could only keep dodging and moving. The slightest slowdown would result in at least being grazed by the tongue. Even a graze would breach their defenses.

The toad’s tongue’s speed eventually reached a point where even Sun Wukong, using his Heaven and Earth Dao Eye, was almost dizzy from the blur, resembling a downpour of rain relentlessly aiming to smash them. Amid such rapid and dense attacks, Ye Zi was the first to be struck, plummeting straight into the ground. Considering they were currently flying at mid-mountain height, at least forty to fifty thousand meters from the ground, the impact force of falling from this height was immense.

And because Ye Zi was hit and momentarily distracted, Sun Wukong too was pointed at by the tongue in the chest, and then forcefully smashed toward the ground. In that instant, Sun Wukong felt excruciating pain in his chest and abdomen, as if his internal organs were being shattered. Before he could muster his spiritual power for protection, he suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain on his back, causing a brief moment of vertigo.

He felt as if he were being crushed by dozens of Five Elements Mountains on his chest, making even breathing extremely difficult. And after Sun Wukong and Ye Zi were both struck down, the Dragon Emperor didn’t last much longer. Approximately three to four breaths after Sun Wukong fell, the Dragon Emperor too crashed to the earth, leaving a deep crater in the ground.

After striking down three people, the tongue did not seize the opportunity to attack them. Instead, just as Sun Wukong caught his breath, the earth shook and the mountains trembled once more. Unable to resist looking back, what Sun Wukong saw was the Stone Mountain toad suddenly disappearing. Sun Wukong was slow to react at first, but as he sat up, he suddenly realized something and his complexion turned extremely ugly. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Ye Zi, Dragon Emperor, get out of the way, that toad is going to jump down!" Yes, the reason why the Stone Mountain toad from Hidden Mountain had suddenly vanished was that it had leaped into the air by utilizing its powerful jumping ability.

It was hard to imagine just how high the enormous Stone Mountain toad, which was almost tens of thousands of meters tall, could leap at full force. This was, after all, the Patrolling Celestial World. In a smaller world, that leap would probably have taken it out of the world altogether. It is known that frogs and toads can jump up to ten times their body length. Ten times tens of thousands of meters would be millions of meters; and with the size of Hidden Mountain coming down, the force was beyond Sun Wukong’s imagination.

However, as Sun Wukong shouted out this warning, he suddenly felt his hands enveloped by two forces. In his right hand was a pure and immense life force, along with an elemental power unique to the Wood System. In his left hand was a purer divine power mixed with the Metal Element. These two powers transformed into green and golden glows, converging towards Sun Wukong’s body through his hands. Sensing something, Sun Wukong immediately brought out his World Suppressing Stele.

A moment later, Primordial Earth floated out, turning into a handful of fine sand swirling in front of Sun Wukong, looking like a light yellow fog. The next moment, Sun Wukong’s eyes became crazier and more resolute than ever before. Then, his hands forcefully came together in prayer, and within his palms, that wisp of Primordial Earth was also pressed between them.

The next moment, Sun Wukong only felt darkness before his eyes, as if the whole world had darkened. He suddenly looked up and saw a huge black shadow falling toward him at an extremely rapid speed, like a meteor from beyond the sky. Of course, given the size of the shadow, any place within ten thousand meters was within its range of attack. That black shadow was naturally the very Stone Mountain toad from Hidden Mountain that had just leaped up.

Based on the speed and distance of Hidden Mountain’s descent, Sun Wukong estimated he had at most five to six breaths’ time before it would crash down. He immediately focused his mind, with the Five Elements Power in his body running wildly. At the same time, Seal Heavenly Stamp, Nine Decisions, Chaos Five Decisions, and all other techniques he could use were being summoned to his palms. After three breaths, Sun Wukong suddenly roared out, "Ye Zi, Dragon Emperor, whether we live or die depends on this move! Jingu Bang, grow for me!"

No sooner had Sun Wukong’s voice faded than a flash of golden light appeared in front of him, and the Jingu Bang was there in an instant. However, the staff was now covered with various colors and patterns, bearing no resemblance to its original appearance. First, at the very tip of Jingu Bang, there appeared a golden spearhead with purple patterns. Yes, it was the kind of spearhead found on long spears. Then, red patterns and nine diamond chains from Seal Heavenly encircled the shaft, while at the bottom of Jingu Bang, the power from the Chaos Five Decisions Life Baptism was contained within. The entire Jingu Bang was now enveloped in a green glow.

As Sun Wukong commanded, the transformed Jingu Bang surged in size instantly.

"This settles a wish of mine, my Jingu Bang finally has a tip!"
