Great Demon Sun Wukong

Finally, the Evil Monarch gave up. Although he had not succeeded in activating the World Suppressing Stele of the Primordial Palace, four out of five of their guardians had fallen, leaving only Cheng Qian still holding on. In fact, the task of the Evil Monarch was already complete, and it was even an overfulfillment. Old Wang, also one of the Five Battle Generals and with the same task as the Evil Monarch, followed Evil Monarch and Zijing with three others in a surprise attack on the Primordial Palace after Xi Zhao and the other twenty set out. As for where they went after leaving the Netherworld Palace, that had yet to be revealed.

Having decided to give up, the Evil Monarch carried Zijing toward the direction of the Myriad Gods Hall. Up to now, there had finally been casualties in the Netherworld World. However, as far as the Fangcun Spirit Realm was concerned, they had not lost a single person. Indeed, not a single person had died; Dao Zhun did not perish in the massive explosion triggered by the self-destruction of the World Suppressing Stele of the Annihilation Palace. At that moment, Dao Zhun had taken Mo Wu and several others into his mystic space, and then used his spatial divine skill to escape.

He had not fled far, however, before the World Suppressing Stele exploded. Relying on his sense of spatial fluctuations, Dao Zhun noticed it instantly. Sensing the vast range of the explosion, Dao Zhun decisively chose to use his spatial power to conceal himself instead of continuing to run. But when he prepared to enter his own mystic space, he found that the space of the Patrolling Celestial World had become extremely unstable. If he forcibly opened up a space, it could very well result in the collapse of the spatial realm of the Patrolling Celestial World.

Left with no choice, Dao Zhun steeled his heart and sacrificed the jade rod he was holding. This jade rod duster was the only weapon Dao Zhun could now be proud of, and it was also the most cherished by him. It was a domain instrument and among these devices, it was one of the most precious spatial boundary devices. But now, to save his own life, he had no other option. He snapped the jade rod duster in half, and instantaneously, the two segments turned into streaks of light, enveloping Dao Zhun and then vanishing into thin air.

The light formed by the snapping of the jade rod duster, under Dao Zhun’s control, would cover an object of a certain weight and fly in a certain direction at a speed that absolutely no one could match. This was originally intended by Dao Zhun as a lifesaving measure, and indeed, it now truly saved his life. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Dao Zhun was, he would not have been spared from that horrifying explosion.

Now, Dao Zhun had appeared in an unknown place. Unknown, because at this moment the place where Dao Zhun was located was not marked on the map awarded by the Netherworld World. As far as he could see, everything was barren stone mountains and gobi, with not a single trace of life. If not for his knowledge of space, Dao Zhun would have thought he had left the Patrolling Celestial World. However, the aura of the surrounding space told him that this was still the Patrolling Celestial World.

Although he did not know where he had flown, the immediate priority was to recover the spiritual power he had expended. As for recovery, although Dao Zhun had given the Wonderful Bodhi Tree to Sun Wukong, his true form was still the Wonderful Bodhi Tree, so his recovery ability was not less than Sun Wukong’s who had the tree. However, when Dao Zhun began to recover his spiritual power, he discovered that the entire space here was filled with the force of destruction. Normally this wasn’t obvious, but as soon as he absorbed spiritual power for recovery or cultivation, all he could absorb was spiritual power filled with destructive and violent energy.

However, Dao Zhun’s main focus was space, meaning that he relied mainly on the spiritual power of space, so this situation did indeed have some impact on him, but the impact was not too great. It took two hours for Dao Zhun to recover most of the spiritual power he had expended in the previous battle. However, his cultivation level had dropped from the peak of the Domain Lord to the intermediate level, and this was not something that could be restored by absorbing spiritual power in the short term; it would take a very long time for him to return to the peak realm of the Domain Lord.

Feeling the spatial fluctuations of this strange place, Dao Zhun’s eyes flickered with puzzlement. Logically, the Patrolling Celestial World was very vast, with all kinds of terrains, and the appearance of such a large area of barren mountains and gobi was not surprising. However, Dao Zhun still felt that something was not right. Therefore, after he had recovered about seventy to eighty percent, Dao Zhun did not choose to continue recovering or to leave immediately, but instead began to investigate very carefully.

After some investigation, Dao Zhun had no special findings, only that this place felt very strange to him. Unwilling to give up, but knowing there were more important things waiting for him, and not having much time to spend in such a place, he chose a direction, leapt up, and decided to find a place marked on the map.

After flying for half a Chinese hour, Dao Zhun stopped. Because he suddenly saw a scene that shocked him: right below him was a huge black hole with a diameter of ten thousand meters, appearing very abruptly on the ground. The area surrounding the hole was still a desolate gobi without any life or vegetation. Looking at the pitch-black hole whose depth was unknown, Dao Zhun suddenly felt a hunch, then immediately rose higher and flew to the right at a speed almost like instantaneous movement. However, after flying for a quarter of a Chinese hour, he found nothing.

However, in order to verify what he was thinking, Dao Zhun changed direction and flew for more than a quarter hour. After that time, Dao Zhun’s eyes were once again met with a large pit, identical to the one he had seen before. Seeing this pit appear, Dao Zhun’s conjecture was confirmed. Upon his arrival in the Patrolling Celestial World, Dao Zhun had learned that this world was created from the skull of the Underworld Venerate. And now, the two pitch-black, bottomless pits he was seeing were exactly where the eyes of the Underworld Venerate’s skull had been.

But after a million years, the head of the Underworld Venerate had become a skull, and naturally, where the eyes once were, there were now two sunken hollows. However, why would this be the case? If the world was created based on Underworld Venerate’s skull, why would such a situation occur? Looking at the current state, wasn’t this akin to having an incomplete world? Did this mean that the Patrolling Celestial World was still not complete?

The Fangcun Spirit Realm was created by Dao Zhun; one could say he, besides the Genesis Divine Nation, was the only person capable of independently creating and evolving his world to a high level. Thus, he understood the situation of the Patrolling Celestial World very well, yet at the same time, he was utterly confused. Normally, using an object as a prototype to form a world is not impossible. In fact, many worlds appeared that way over time.

For example, the Ruyi Jingu Bang belonging to Sun Wukong: if Sun Wukong wished, with the help of the Chaotic Giant Clan, he could certainly base a world on the Golden Hoop, albeit a small one. However, if this technique was employed, the object used as the vessel for the world would merge completely with that world. It would be impossible for the Spatial Boundary Device within the Golden Hoop to become an independent small world, and then have another Jingu Bang standing somewhere within that small world.

But the current state of the Patrolling Celestial World was exactly this peculiar case. The existence of these two sunken pits was utterly illogical. The Patrolling Celestial World felt as if thick layers of earth had merely been laid over the skull’s name, with plants and animals then growing upon that earth. But this was definitely not the method one would use to create a world; it was an existence that defied logic. Looking down at the dark pit below, Dao Zhun’s mind was thrown into turmoil for a moment.

What exactly was going on with the Patrolling Celestial World? If everything present was reasonable, then it would only prove that Dao Zhun’s speculation was wrong, and it was not Underworld Venerate’s skull. However, deep down, Dao Zhun knew denying this was just deceiving himself. After all, he had personally slain the Underworld Venerate, and the feeling here couldn’t be wrong.

Thinking rapidly, in the end, Dao Zhun found himself in a difficult dilemma. Firstly, the most appropriate action for him to take was to immediately return to the Myriad Gods Hall, then release the people from his mystic space, or find the Myriad Demons Country and use his own power to annihilate them before unleashing the people from the mystic space to reap the fruits of victory. Yet, looking at the pit below, a relentless urge to descend and investigate it kept burgeoning in Dao Zhun’s heart, impossible to dismiss.

Finally, Dao Zhun sighed and then flipped over, head downwards, and rushed straight down.

After all, most of the Alliance members were in their own spaces, and even if the people from the Demon Nation took the opportunity to activate their World Suppressing Stele, as long as he remained alive, his Fangcun Spirit Realm would be unaffected. As for the other forces, he couldn’t take them into too much consideration.

What Dao Zhun did not expect was, deep within that pit, he encountered many incredible things. (To be continued.
