Great Demon Sun Wukong

However, to be on the safe side, he decided to keep everyone here; this high-level world was sufficient for his master and his companions' cultivation. Even if he truly died inside, it wouldn't bring more people into danger. Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong were entrusted to the Rogue Heart Sword Hero, instructing the Sword Hero to take Bajie to the Myriad Demons Country to rescue the Flame God. Despite Bajie's cultivation being only One Pattern Dao Patterns, and despite Bajie's unreliable character, Sun Wukong had his own plans. With Bajie's constitution that could devour and digest anything, he thought that improving Bajie's cultivation would be very simple. Moreover, Zhu Bajie, who had fused with the World Suppressing Burning Stele and had the Thunder Fire Cannon recognize him as its master, was not to be underestimated.

Although Yue Huangquan had advised against a direct confrontation with the Myriad Demons Country, Sun Wukong was unconcerned. The Nine Kirin had captured the Flame God, and without flipping the Myriad Demons Country upside down, Bajie's grudge would not be appeased. That night, Sun Wukong released everyone from the World Within the Artifact. It was, in fact, Ying Zhao and Ji Meng's first time leaving the World Within the Artifact, which was quite a burden for them. However, the benefits of cultivating in the World Within the Artifact were also quite obvious.

He continued to help Bajie and the White Dragon suppress their cultivation to avoid triggering the Heavenly Tribulation; he then detailed the next steps of his plan. After Sun Wukong finished, everyone looked worried, but with Tang Sanzang's persuasion proving fruitless, no one had a better idea. The decision was made, and then Sun Wukong took the White Dragon and Zhu Bajie to a wilderness to undergo their tribulation. Now, both the White Dragon and Zhu Bajie had One Pattern Dao Patterns and needed to overcome a Great Heavenly Tribulation. However, undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation in a high-level world for One Pattern Dao Patterns was indeed rare.

The two successfully passed their tribulation, but this time no spatial rifts or mysterious visions appeared. Sun Wukong guessed it was either because it could only happen in Buddha's Pure Land or because that person wanted him to see it, and he had already seen it. Like the answer, which was beyond his reach, Sun Wukong didn't dwell on it too much. After sending the two back, Sun Wukong sought out the Sword Hero and gave further instructions, mainly due to his concerns about Zhu Bajie. His second disciple's penchant for chaos indeed made him hard to trust.

Early the next day, under everyone's scrutiny, Sun Wukong took a step and entered the world that was entirely blood-red as far as he could see. Once Sun Wukong was inside, Hei Kui closed the entrance to the Life and Death Blood Realm, and then everyone dispersed. "Hei Kui, do you think the Monkey will be alright?" the Rogue Heart Sword Hero asked for the umpteenth time. Hei Kui sighed and said, "I don't know. I can't control the Life and Death Blood Realm, I'm really just a gatekeeper. I can open the entrance to the Life and Death Blood Realm at any time, and through my connection with Wu Ming, I can let Wu Ming eliminate all enemies that enter. Other than that, I'm helpless."

"The Monkey carries my blood, so he should be able to sense Wu Ming, but I completely can't control what ultimately will happen. The only thing I can do is sense whether Sun Wukong is alive or dead. That Life and Death Blood Realm is definitely not a good place; let's just hope the Monkey is safe." He sighed again and left. On the third day, two teams left the high-level world silently. The first team was all familiar faces, while the second team was much more complex, comprising ten people: four from the Netherworld World, two from the Myriad Gods Hall, two from the Genesis Divine Nation, two from the Ancient Primordial World, and two from the Fangcun Spirit Realm.

The reason for this setup was that if the Myriad Demons Country had chosen to hide, then they certainly would not be easy to find. Hence, everyone in the second tier was skilled in spatial power and exploration, among which were two from the Netherworld World tasked with communicating with Yue Huangquan. This rescue operation for the Flame God could be seen as the first small-scale collective effort of the Six Great Divine Nations aside from the Myriad Demons Country, which revealed many things.

The trend towards large-scale cooperation among the Six Great Divine Nations was already beginning to show. No one was a fool; although the universe now seemed calm, it was certainly the calm before the storm. The most direct and powerful evidence of this was the appearance of the Crimson Army, which had annihilated the Annihilation Demon Nation and forced the Myriad Demons Country to hide. Moreover, the Crimson Army's act of wiping out the Annihilation Demon Nation could also be seen as a declaration of war against the Law Enforcers, because Divine Nations are forbidden to wage wars—that's an iron rule set by the Law Enforcers. The only reason there had been no conflict so far was that everyone was not yet ready.

The Crimson Army, the Law Enforcers, the Myriad Demons Country, the Divine Nations Alliance, that person behind the scenes, the mysterious individual who showed Sun Wukong the visions, and even the Underworld God Army were all making their final preparations. Once the time comes, the great war will begin.

And now, the countdown to that so-called moment had already begun! The countdown started the moment Sun Wukong entered the Life and Death Blood Realm! (. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
