Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 310: Chapter 310: I Hate It When Someone Points at My Head with Their Finger (1st Update)

The Spiked Demon Wolf is one of the most common demonic beasts in the Demonic Realm, which differs from the main world of the Three Realms in that the nature’s spiritual energy within it carries a strong Demonic Qi, known as Demon Spirit Qi. This imbues creatures of the Demonic Realm with a strong aggressive and bloodthirsty nature. Even a small rabbit, unlike those in the Three Realms, would use its sharp fangs to tear apart any strangers that appear before it.

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan once told Sun Wukong that outside the cities in the Demonic Realm, demonic beasts roam the wilds, and without sufficient strength, one is certain to be torn to shreds by those bloodthirsty beasts. The Spiked Demon Wolf is one of the common types, and also one of the most ferocious, with extremely strong aggressiveness, prone to attacking almost any living creature it encounters, unless the gap in strength is far too great for it to consider retreat.

Sun Wukong now faced such a Spiked Demon Wolf, and judging from its aura, its Cultivation should be equivalent to the Earth Immortal Realm.

“A mere Earth Immortal Realm demon wolf dares to attack your grandpa Sun? You sure are bold!”

Sun Wukong looked at the Spiked Demon Wolf firmly trapped on the ground by the cage formed by his Staff Force, hooking up a disdainful cold smile at the corner of his mouth. He squatted down and stretched his hand into the cage.

Although the Spiked Demon Wolf was subdued by Sun Wukong, the ferocity in its eyes did not diminish in the slightest. Seeing Sun Wukong extend his hand, it opened its mouth wide and snapped at him.

“Crack!”

The Spiked Demon Wolf’s sharp teeth clamped onto Sun Wukong’s hand, but Sun Wukong’s expression did not change at all, as if it was none of his business. On the contrary, the wolf’s eyes bulged out in shock, and its seemingly razor-sharp teeth shattered one after another, its mouth gushing with blood; it had been shockingly injured to the point of breaking all its teeth! Sun Wukong’s Chaotic Divine Body was far superior to the Vajra Indestructible Body—in terms of physical strength, it was only slightly inferior to the Undying Golden Body. It was not something that a mere Earth Immortal Realm Spiked Demon Wolf could break through. Not having its body directly shattered was already Sun Wukong showing mercy.

“Still biting? Continue then!”

Sun Wukong, with a mocking cold smile in his eyes, continued to move his hand towards the Spiked Demon Wolf’s mouth, but the wolf was so frightened that it kept shrinking back, making muffled whimpers. Its gaze towards Sun Wukong was filled with fear. Its teeth could be said to be the hardest and most lethal weapon on its body. Yet, after biting Sun Wukong’s palm, most of its teeth had crumbled away. This seemingly harmless monkey was a monster, one that it couldn’t afford to provoke!

Fear is an instinct, and all living beings cannot be completely fearless. The Spiked Demon Wolf was no exception. No matter how fierce or bloodthirsty it was by nature, it would still feel fear when facing a much stronger entity. Sun Wukong was now a terrifying existence in the eyes of the Spiked Demon Wolf. If it weren’t for the Staff Force cage restraining it, it would have turned tail and fled on all fours already.

“What, you dare not bite anymore? Then it’s your grandpa Sun’s turn!”

An attractive force emanated from Sun Wukong’s palm, directly pulling the Spiked Demon Wolf towards him. He grabbed its forehead, and the Soul Searching Technique was activated.

In the Three Realms, the Soul Searching Technique is a Forbidden Technique. If cast, the lightest outcome for the victim is severe damage to their Divine Soul and regression of Cultivation, while the worst is the soul being scattered and eternal damnation. Sun Wukong rarely used it, but he had little mercy for the inherently bloodthirsty Spiked Demon Wolf. Such a murderous beast could die in droves, and he wouldn’t feel the slightest bit sorry!

Sun Wukong employed the Soul Searching Technique on the Spiked Demon Wolf just to find out the current state of the Demonic Realm and where he could find the passage back to the Three Realms.

“Ahwoo~!”

As soon as the Soul Searching Technique was implemented, the Spiked Demon Wolf’s eyes suddenly revealed an extremely pained expression, its face contorting grotesquely as it let out a harrowing scream. But soon, the screams quickly faded, its limbs trembled for a moment and then completely stopped moving. Its Divine Soul couldn’t withstand Sun Wukong’s Soul Searching Technique and completely collapsed, leaving behind nothing more than a soulless Physical Body, just a pile of rotten flesh.

“Phew!”

Sun Wukong let out a long breath. He had found what he wanted from the memory of the Spiked Demon Wolf’s Divine Soul. Although the information wasn’t very complete, he now had a certain understanding of the Demonic Realm.

Just as Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan had said, the Demonic Realm had broken away from the Three Realms. After so many years of development, the territory of the Demonic Realm was no smaller than that of the Three Realms, especially after the great war between Immortals and Demons. Jidu Demon Emperor unified the Demonic Realm and expanded into the space beyond the Three Realms. By a twist of fate, it connected with another Continent. The nature’s spiritual energy on that land was very similar to the Demonic Realm, also consisting of Demon Spirit Qi, but with even more darkness and corrosive aura.

After the merging of the two Continents, they became one, forming a brand new Demonic Realm.

Unlike the original Demonic Realm, the Demonic Realm on the other Continent had no Human Race, no Immortals and Gods, nor demons or monsters, just the Beast Race after Demonization, called demonic beasts by the Demon Race. The intelligence of these Demonic Beasts was mostly low, but their physical bodies were extremely strong, much more powerful than the original demonic beasts of the Demonic Realm. Among them, many were of low intelligence, but there were also High Rank Demonic Beasts with intelligence comparable to Immortals, Gods, and monsters. Those, however, mostly secluded themselves in the depths of the mountains and were rarely seen.

The Jidu Demon Emperor had originally planned to incorporate the other side of the merged continent into his rule, but after an attempt, he abandoned the idea. The reason was simple, he wasn’t strong enough, and his opponents were too powerful!@@novelbin@@

On the continent ruled by demonic beasts, there were top-tier demonic beasts with the strength of Heavenly Dao Saints. With only the cultivation strength of a Half-Step Saint, the Jidu Demon Emperor found no advantage against these top-tier beasts. He was beaten into a hasty retreat and had to slow down his expansion efforts, infiltrating step by step.

“Strange, why is there no news of Six-Eared and Brother Bull?”

The information Sun Wukong gathered from the divine soul memories of the Bone-Spiked Demon Wolf contained no news about Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, Bull Demon King, or Six-Eared Macaque. It was as if they had never appeared in the Demonic Realm, which Sun Wukong found very odd. Hadn’t they entered the Demonic Realm long ago? How could there still be no news of them now?

He couldn’t figure it out, he just couldn’t understand it. Wukong frowned and thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with any explanation. He decided to put the question aside for now. Perhaps the Bone-Spiked Demon Wolf had different priorities from the average demon, so it might not have noticed them. It would be better to go to the nearest demon city to gather some information.

The nearest city was called Filan City, only a hundred miles away. A hundred miles was nothing to Sun Wukong, who could reach it in an instant on his Somersault Cloud. However, the spatial properties of the Demonic Realm, especially after merging with another continent, were different from those of the Three Realms. There was significant resistance to flying, and gravity was much stronger, about five times that of the main world of the Three Realms. In the Demonic Realm, only those above the Heavenly Immortal Realm could soar on clouds, and even they couldn’t sustain it for long.

However, this wasn’t much of a problem for Sun Wukong. He hardly felt any difference. Back in The Borderlands, gravity was similar to that in the Demonic Realm. Now that he had achieved the Chaotic Divine Body, his strength was formidable, so a little resistance and gravity were nothing. He leaped into the air and rode his Somersault Cloud towards Filan City.

Filan City.

“Halt, who goes there? No one is allowed to enter Filan City without a city entry permit!”

Sun Wukong landed his cloud outside the gates of Filan City. With his Void-Breaking Divine Eye, he noticed the city was shrouded in a protective barrier that enveloped the entire city. Forcibly descending from the sky into the city would definitely trigger the barrier’s response, potentially causing trouble. Wukong was here to gather information, not to attack Filan City, so it was best to keep a low profile and enter through the gate.

But often when you wish to keep a low profile, it’s precisely when you can’t. Sometimes, even if you don’t look for trouble, trouble finds you. As Sun Wukong approached the city gates intending to enter, the city guards blocked his path, crossing their spears to stop him, and looked him up and down with slanted eyes before coldly barking an order.

“A city entry permit?”

Sun Wukong’s eyes narrowed. At that moment, a few people entered the city from the side. The leader, dressed like a wealthy young master, was not only unobstructed by the guards but also received their fawning smiles and obsequious bows as they cleared a path for him.

“He didn’t show any kind of city entry permit, so why can he go in?”

Sun Wukong pointed at those people and asked, somewhat disgruntled.

“Ha, someone in Filan City dares to compare themselves to this young master!”

Sun Wukong’s comment wasn’t loud, but it was clear to all entering the city. The few people heading into the city stopped, and the leading young master turned around, scanning Sun Wukong with a chilly gaze.

Chaos Primordial Force could emulate all energies in the world, emulating Demon Primordial Force wasn’t difficult. To make things easier, Sun Wukong used Chaos Primordial Force to simulate Demon Primordial Force and even fashioned his cultivation to appear as that of a Taiyi Scattered Immortal. It wasn’t particularly strong but was not weak either—not too conspicuous. The wealthy young master clearly mistook Sun Wukong for a mere Scattered Immortal and looked at him with a flicker of disdain in his eyes.

“And here I thought we had a skilled expert. It turns out it’s just a small Demon Marshal. With such little cultivation, you dare to be wild in Filan City. Boy, are you tired of living?”

Thinking he saw through Sun Wukong’s cultivation, the rich young master scoffed condescendingly and approached Sun Wukong. Looking down at him, he took a couple of steps forward, pointed at Sun Wukong, and spoke with mockery in his tone.

“Take your hand away from your elder, Sun!”

A hint of danger flickered in Sun Wukong’s eyes as he looked at the wealthy young master with a cold gaze and spoke sternly. “The thing your elder, Sun, hates the most is someone pointing a finger at his head!”
