Great Demon Sun Wukong

Dao Zhun has a reason for having the Yu Fan Taoist Monk from the Ancient Primordial World, Po Jun from the Myriad Gods Hall, and Si Ye from the Canglan River Realm stay behind. It isn't a casual choice. Although these three are not Domain Lord level powerhouses, they are still super-powerful beings, each at the peak among the Nine Patterns Supreme. However, the most critical reason isn't their personal cultivation, but their abilities. Among the three of them, the Yu Fan Taoist Monk has the strength to directly confront that giant serpent. Po Jun possesses the capability to inflict damage on the serpent, and Si Ye's role is to control and restrict the movements of the beast.

Sun Wukong and Old Sand's arrival were, of course, part of Dao Zhun's plan. What they needed to do was not to deal with the serpent but to confront Xi Zhao. After the Yu Fan Taoist Monk sat down cross-legged and assumed that odd posture, suddenly, billions of dazzling golden lights burst forth from his body. The golden light appeared almost tangible, giving off a very solid impression. Instead of dissipating after erupting, the lights coiled back, completely enveloping the Yu Fan Taoist Monk.

The golden light continued to release and recoil, and the monk's figure got increasingly immense. As the golden light swelled to tens of thousands of meters high, there came a loud bellow from the Yu Fan Taoist Monk within, and the consolidated mass of golden light suddenly solidified, resembling gold cooling into metal. Then, that solidified golden light began to pulse spontaneously, and finally, when all settled, the original golden light had transformed into a towering Golden Giant Buddha, standing proudly with a height of several hundred thousand meters.

From the Yu Fan Taoist Monk's initial sitting to the Giant Buddha's rising, the whole process took no more than a dozen breaths. By this time, the rest had just reached the side of the giant serpent. As the Yu Fan Taoist Monk transformed into the Golden Giant Buddha, Po Jun also stood with a Divine Sword in each hand, Gan Jiang in his right and Mo Ye in his left. Although there were no changes in his appearance at that moment, and his two-meter stature was like an ant compared to the serpent, the piercing Sword Intent emanating from Po Jun still caused the massive serpent's heads to sway uncertainly. The heads were constantly moving because they were trying desperately to avoid Po Jun's intent to kill, which was locked onto them.

Meanwhile, Si Ye wasn't idle either. Rushing to the side of the giant serpent, he leapt into the air and only stopped when he reached above the serpent's head. Then, hovering mid-air, he exhaled and spoke out loud, making a tearing gesture with his arms. However, it wasn't clear what he was tearing; if one were forced to describe it, it would seem like he was preparing to rip the air itself.

At this moment, Dao Zhun was not taking action but was instead floating in mid-air with his eyes closed, seemingly doing something mysterious. As for the Hidden Mountain folktale, she had already soared up high; her already immense body of tens of thousands of meters leaped up so high that one might worry she would leave the Patrolling Celestial World. Although the people present had never experienced such coordinated combat before, each one of them was a veteran warrior, and they instantly knew what the others were about to do and what they should do themselves with just a change in stance.

Right then, Si Ye in the sky suddenly shouted, "Ready! Night falls, Seven Senses Stripping!" Following Si Ye's roar, he mustered Spiritual Power into his arms and violently tore at both sides. Then, everyone felt darkness envelop them, and the next moment, the night sky, which still had some starlight and moonlight, turned pitch-black as ink, and they could not see their hands before their faces. However, those present were all unparalleled powerhouses, and ordinary darkness was something they could ignore, especially Sun Wukong, who had the Pupil Skill known as the Heaven and Earth Dao Eye.

But then, everyone was momentarily flabbergasted because whether it was Sun Wukong with his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes or Xi Zhao, or even the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent, they all found themselves truly deprived of all senses within the darkness. They lost their hearing, sight, smell, touch, and even the scanning ability of their Divine Sense. In that instant, everyone became just ordinary people, or even less than ordinary, for they had lost all their perceptual abilities.

However, quickly, everyone except for Xi Zhao and the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent regained their senses. Although it was still a pitch-black night, they could now sense the world as normal. But when they looked at Xi Zhao and the giant serpent, they found that the two were still in a state devoid of all senses. There's a saying, "Strike while the enemy is sick," and what better time to attack than now? However, the first one to strike wasn't Po Jun, who was closest to the giant serpent, but the Golden Buddha, now also several hundred thousand meters tall and gleaming with gold, the Yu Fan Taoist Monk.

The Giant Buddha took only a few steps to reach in front of the serpent. Since Xi Zhao and the serpent had been stripped of all their senses, they were unaware of the looming danger. The Buddha clasped his hands together, raised them above his head, and with full force smashed down directly at the flailing giant serpent's head. The huge fists that came together were truly terrifying, and with a single strike, they embedded the serpent's head into the earth, causing the ground to shake violently as though it was about to collapse.

Following that, the Golden Giant Buddha didn't care about the serpent's struggles; with a large sweep of his hand, he yanked the serpent's head out from the earth. Then, with his arms wrapped tightly around it, as soon as the Buddha embraced the serpent, he began to retreat with large, striding steps. The colossal Golden Giant Buddha, towering hundreds of thousands of meters in height, covered a similar distance with each step. After three consecutive steps, the serpent's body he held was stretched out straight.

In the midst of this, Si Ye shouted from the sky, "I can't hold on any longer, five seconds left before the control fades!" Hearing Si Ye's voice, everyone tensed but still, no one blindly rushed forward to attack. Instead, they all looked up to see a massive creature engulfed in scarlet flames plummeting from the darkness above.

The crowd hastily retreated once more. However, positioned right above the gigantic serpent, Si Ye had no time to escape even if he retreated with all his might. Yet, he wasn't worried because he hadn't forgotten that Dao Zhun was still here. Si Ye didn't have to wait long; as soon as he felt the space around him fluctuate, he heaved a sigh of relief, knowing Dao Zhun would surely save him. In the next instant, Si Ye disappeared from his spot, and three breaths later, the fiery Hidden Mountain slammed from the sky onto the serpent's body that the Golden Giant Buddha had pulled taut.

Hidden Mountain had leaped with all his might, no one knowing exactly how high he had reached. His forceful crash was truly like a Wan Jun's strike. The thunderous explosion was deafening, making one wonder if the impact had shattered the Patrolling Celestial World. However, this concern was proven groundless; after about a quarter of an hour, the dust cloud raised by Hidden Mountain's crash gradually dispersed.

The moment the dust cleared, Po Jun already dashed forward, wielding two Divine Weapons in his hands. And after a quarter of an hour had passed, the control that Si Ye had over Xi Zhao and the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent had long vanished. When Po Jun charged, he saw Hidden Mountain firmly stomping on one of the serpent's heads, which was now a pool formed by the convergence of fresh blood.

Po Jun didn't hesitate to leap high, his twin swords crossing in front of him as he slashed down. Instantly, two invisible Sword Qi's streaked beneath him, and Po Jun, as if drained of all his Spiritual Power and physical strength, passed out. Nevertheless, Dao Zhun wouldn't let him just fall to the ground; with a wave of his sleeve, he collected Po Jun into his Mystic Space.

Looking at the serpent's head under Hidden Mountain's foot, which had been split in two, the blood gushed out even more wildly, the blood lake even threatening to turn into a blood sea.

At this point, everyone was somewhat taken aback. Nobody had expected Po Jun's strike to be so terrifyingly powerful. Yu Fan Taoist Monk, who had been holding the serpent's head, already threw it onto the ground and gave it a few kicks. With a heavy voice, he said, "I thought it was going to be more formidable. It still lost its head to a single sword slash. Honestly, after living so long, I have yet to eat such a large serpent. I wonder if it tastes any different!"

While speaking, Yu Fan Taoist Monk's tens of thousands of meters tall Golden Body of the Buddha slowly reverted back. Sun Wukong watched the endlessly surging blood from the serpent's neck, his eyebrows furrowing together. He discovered that Xi Zhao had disappeared.

Moreover, he had a feeling that something was off!
