Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 326: Chapter 326: You Demon Dare to Do So? Eat My Old Sun’s Rod! (First Update)

The Thunderclap Demon Dragon had been remarkably diligent throughout the journey, showing not the slightest sign of neglect. Sun Wukong didn’t wish to break his promise, so he hopped off the dragon’s back, patted its body, and spoke.

“My lord, are you truly letting me go?”

The Thunderclap Demon Dragon could hardly believe its own ears.

“What? You don’t want to go? You want to go in with old Sun?”

Sun Wukong pointed, amused, toward the direction from which the energy fluctuations were coming.

“No no no, my lord’s cultivation is profound, and your strength is immense. I’d rather not cause any trouble for you. I thank you for sparing my life. I’m off, I’m off!”

The Thunderclap Demon Dragon hurriedly shook its head and turned to bolt back the way it had come, disappearing into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

Sun Wukong took to the air and flew above the forest, locating the direction of the energy fluctuations. He was about to fly over immediately when he suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped.

“Dragon Cat, come out!”

Sun Wukong sent his Divine Sense into the Qiankun Bag, found the Dragon Cat sound asleep inside, and grabbed it directly from the bag.

“Boss, what’s up?”

The Dragon Cat, roused from sleep by Sun Wukong, asked groggily and with a hint of resentment.

“Stop sleeping. I may need your help in a bit!”

If the circumstances hadn’t been so unusual, Sun Wukong wouldn’t have disturbed the Dragon Cat. But soon they would have to face the Heavenly Demon Dragon, a demonic beast with Demon Saint cultivation. They had to hold it off, preferably win, but at least delay it for a while. Otherwise, how could they rescue Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and the others?

After hearing a brief description of the Heavenly Demon Dragon situation from Sun Wukong, the Dragon Cat nearly jumped up in shock. “Whoa! Boss, you’re not joking, right? A beast of the Heavenly Dao Saint level, and you want me to go toe-to-toe with it? That’s like sending me off to die! No way, I’m not going!”

“Who told you to fight the Heavenly Demon Dragon?”

Sun Wukong sighed and rolled his eyes, “Old Sun wants you to follow him and use your Innate Divine Ability when needed. Don’t tell me you’ve been boasting all this time, and your charm Divine Skill is completely ineffective against opponents with higher cultivation?”

“Of course it’s effective!”

The Dragon Cat immediately became anxious to defend its Innate Divine Ability upon hearing Sun Wukong’s doubts, “My Innate Divine Ability works unless the opponent is two realms higher than I am. Otherwise, how could it be called the most powerful Innate Divine Ability?”

“The most powerful?”

Amused inwardly, Sun Wukong thought the Dragon Cat was really quite shameless to assert that its charming Divine Skill was the most powerful. “Alright then, if your charming Divine Skill is the most powerful Innate Divine Ability and will definitely work on the Heavenly Demon Dragon, what are you afraid of? Old Sun isn’t asking you to fight the dragon head-on, just to control it with your charm at a critical moment.”@@novelbin@@

“So that’s it!”

The Dragon Cat heaved a great sigh of relief. “Why didn’t you say so earlier, boss? This is easy, leave it to me! Tricking someone is my specialty! Hehe!”

The Dragon Cat chuckled mischievously. It wasn’t great at attacking but could take a good beating, and thanks to the nature of its Innate Divine Ability, the charm, it was best at sneak attacks and deception. Of course, when alone, the Dragon Cat wouldn’t rashly attempt to ambush anyone, as it could easily backfire.

However, with Sun Wukong there, it was different. With the boss leading the charge, his job as the sidekick was to cheer him on and at a pivotal moment, aid with his Innate Divine Ability, which could decisively tip the scales.

“Good that you’re skilled. Let’s go!”

A cunning smile curled Sun Wukong’s lips. He suddenly spurred on his Somersault Cloud and flew rapidly toward the source of the energy fluctuations. The Dragon Cat nearly tumbled off and hastily clung tightly to Sun Wukong’s shoulder armor, shrinking itself and burrowing inside the chest plate, sticking out only its head to look around curiously. Soon it would have to face a Demon Saint level super demonic beast, the Heavenly Demon Dragon. It was much safer to cling closely inside Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Divine Armor.

“Roar~!”

“Hmm~!”

Under the full thrust of the Somersault Cloud, Sun Wukong quickly arrived at the battlefield and from a distance, saw the scene of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and his two companions being beaten by the Heavenly Demon Dragon and sent flying with a grunt. The massive body of the Heavenly Demon Dragon was like a giant mountain, its bluish-black scale armor flashing a chilling light. The terrifying might of a Demon Saint-level beast pressed down so heavily that the grass and trees below all bent low, and who knows how many trees in the forest were broken. Although the trio of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan had exerted their full strength, they were still no match for the Heavenly Demon Dragon.

“Insects, today marks your end!”

A swirl of light rapidly gathered in the mouth of the Heavenly Demon Dragon, and with this bellow of Divine Sense, it was about to unleash a devastating attack on Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, Bull Demon King, and the Six-Eared Macaque. Judging by the destructive power contained within the swirl of light, once hit, even if the Bull Demon King and Six-Eared Macaque’s Eight-Nine Profound Skill were complete and they had achieved their Vajra Indestructible Bodies, they probably wouldn’t be able to withstand their bodies shattering inch by inch. As for Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, his physical strength was even less than that of Bull Demon King and Six-Eared Macaque, so his fate needed no mentioning.

“It’s over!”

A hint of despair flashed in the eyes of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, “I never expected that I, Mu Chenxuan, would meet my end at the hands of such a beast. It’s time, fate indeed!”

Just as he was about to close his eyes and await death, he heard the voice of the Six-Eared Macaque ringing from the side: “We won’t die, our savior has come!”

“Savior?”

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and Bull Demon King were stunned, only to see a staff burning with golden flames extending from afar, and struck the Heavenly Demon Dragon on the head with an unmatched ferocity. A voice they were all too familiar with, which had appeared countless times in their minds, echoed between heaven and earth, “Dare to face me, fiend? Take this from your old Sun!”

Boom!

The huge iron rod fiercely smashed on top of the head of the Heavenly Demon Dragon. The energy wave that the Heavenly Demon Dragon had gathered and was about to release was directly dispersed by this mighty blow. With a thunderous roar, its massive body, caught off guard, was directly struck from the mid-air and crashed heavily onto the mountain range below, smashing a small hill into pieces and leaving a huge dragon-shaped crater.

“Boss!”

“Brother Wukong!”

In the joyous gazes of the Bull Demon King and his compatriots, a streak of golden light shot from the horizon and in an instant, appeared before the three, revealing the figure of Sun Wukong: “It seems that your old Sun has arrived just in time. Are you all alright?”

“Boss, it’s really you! How did you come here?”

The Six-Eared Macaque’s face was filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe. He had just heard the approach of Sun Wukong with his divine hearing and couldn’t quite believe his ears at first, and now Sun Wukong had truly arrived, just when they were in a critical moment with their lives hanging by a thread!

“Your old Sun naturally came looking for you!”

Sun Wukong flipped his palm over, and three gourds of Victorious Fighting Immortal Wine appeared in his hand, tossing one to the Six-Eared Macaque, Bull Demon King, and Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan each, “This is the Victorious Fighting Immortal Wine brewed by your old Sun, drink it down quickly to restore your strength and prepare for retreat. We’ll talk after we escape to safety!”

The injuries of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and his companions were not light, their breaths unstable with considerable expenditure. With their condition, escaping the grasp of the Heavenly Demon Dragon wouldn’t do!

“Victorious Fighting Immortal Wine?”

The trio of the Bull Demon King caught the wine gourds with some confusion, opened the stoppers, and their eyes suddenly bulged, “Boss, did you brew this?”

“No more nonsense, heal your injuries and leave! Your old Sun will hold off that big guy!”

Sun Wukong urged, gripping the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in both hands, turned around, and flew toward the Heavenly Demon Dragon rising from the ground. Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and his companions dared not to delay either, forcing themselves to fly a distance away and landed on a mountaintop, sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate to recover. Their injuries were much more severe than they appeared. If they attempted to flee with their injuries, they probably would not get far before plummeting from the clouds. Sun Wukong’s keen insight had caught the state of the trio in one glance.

As soon as the Victorious Fighting Immortal Wine was consumed, it instantly transformed into a warm current that spread to their limbs and bones; Bull Demon King and his companions felt their damaged meridians, internal organs, and bones rapidly beginning to recover under this warm flow. The destructive energy introduced into their bodies by the Heavenly Demon Dragon was also rapidly expelled under the medicinal effects of the Victorious Fighting Immortal Wine. They couldn’t help but feel greatly surprised; the Immortal Wine was simply miraculous. How on earth had Sun Wukong brewed such a wondrous immortal wine?

“Who are you, daring to sabotage my grand plan? Are you tired of living?”

On the other side, Sun Wukong faced off against the Heavenly Demon Dragon, who had just risen from the ground. Though the Heavenly Demon Dragon hadn’t sustained any injuries from being knocked down by Sun Wukong’s staff, his face looked extremely displeased. It had been many years since anyone had dared to strike him like that. Seeing that Sun Wukong’s cultivation was only half a step into Quasi-Saint, the dragon grew even more irate. Bull Demon King and his companions had surprised him enough, and now here was Sun Wukong with even freakish strength!

“Your old Sun is the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong! Heavenly Demon Dragon, you’ve imprisoned my brothers for so many years, today your old Sun is going to settle this account with you!”

Completely undaunted by the overwhelming aura of the Heavenly Demon Dragon, Sun Wukong’s own imposing aura surged to confront the dragon’s might, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. Although this creature had only attained the strength of a Heavenly Dao Saint in its physical body, which was much weaker than a true Heavenly Dao Saint like Tathagata Buddha, it was still the strongest opponent Sun Wukong has ever confronted head-on. The thought of this battle made his blood boil with excitement!

“Great Sage Equalling Heaven? How audacious! You think you can settle accounts with me?”

The Heavenly Demon Dragon laughed in fury, “Just perfect, I’ve been slumbering for many years and my stomach is quite empty, I’ll start by devouring a few of you to satiate my hunger!”
