Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Sun Wukong VS Heavenly Demon Dragon (Second Update)

“That depends on whether you have the ability!”

A mischievous smile curled on Sun Wukong’s lips. Without waiting for the Heavenly Demon Dragon to make a move, he swung his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod to attack first. With a flash, he rushed beneath the Heavenly Demon Dragon’s jaw and, swinging upward, smashed it directly on its chin.

Boom!

The Heavenly Demon Dragon did not expect Sun Wukong to actually attack without warning and was caught off guard. The hit caused it to groan and its body to shift off course.

“Damn you! Insect, you’ve angered me—I’m going to tear you apart!”

Enraged, the Heavenly Demon Dragon swung its claws at Sun Wukong. The force of the wind was overpowering, and the speed was incredibly fast. It was hard to imagine such a massive body could move with such ferocity. It was already too late to dodge.

“Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations, White Cloud Smoke!”

The Heavenly Demon Dragon in the Demon Saint Realm was perhaps even stronger than the Heavenly Dao Saints of the Three Realms. Sun Wukong, having just exhausted his previous strength and before his new power could emerge, didn’t want to clash head-on with the Heavenly Demon Dragon. With a thought, he used the Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations, White Cloud Smoke. His body became like mist, and the Heavenly Demon Dragon’s claw passed right through him without causing any harm. Sun Wukong then re-formed beside the dragon, swinging his rod in a mighty arc that landed heavily on its claw, causing the demon to cry out in pain and retract its claw, its eyes filled with a mix of shock and fury as it looked at Sun Wukong.

“My goodness, am I seeing things? Brother Wukong is actually on par with that Heavenly Demon Dragon! No, it seems he even has the upper hand! How has his strength increased so much again?”

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and the other two, on a hilltop in the distance, were cultivating to heal their wounds while watching the battle. Their eyes were wide open seeing the exchange between Sun Wukong and the Heavenly Demon Dragon. The three of them had been beaten miserably by the Heavenly Demon Dragon when they joined forces before, but now Sun Wukong was fighting it one-on-one without losing any ground. In fact, he had already hit the dragon several times. This level of combat power was much stronger than they remembered!

“Yeah, that’s amazing! The gap between me and the boss is still so huge!”

The Six-Eared Macaque felt somewhat bitter. He had recognized Sun Wukong’s cultivation level, which was also at the Half-Step Quasi-Saint Realm, just like his. He originally thought that after absorbing the power of the Nine Nether Demon Fire and breaking through to the Half-Step Quasi-Saint level, the gap between him and Sun Wukong had narrowed, but it was still so vast!

They both cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Skill, so why was Sun Wukong’s combat power so much stronger than his at the same realm?

“The boss has completely mastered it, the highest realm of the Eight-Nine Profound Skill!”

Unlike the Six-Eared Macaque, the Bull Demon King saw some clues. Although he and the Six-Eared Macaque had both cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Skill to the Great Achievement Realm, they hadn’t completely integrated the mysterious power. They still circulated Immortal Primordial Force within them, not much different from ordinary immortals and gods. But Sun Wukong was different. His power was clearly several tiers above theirs, exuding a sense of perfect harmony. Wisps of Chaos Primordial Force seemed to seep out of him. Could it be the Chaos Primordial Force that’s believed to be above even Immortal Primordial Force in rank?

That’s a transformation that could only occur if someone cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Skill to the Great Perfection Realm!

The Eight-Nine Profound Skill is the supreme body refining technique of the Human Race, not even the humans themselves are necessarily able to cultivate it to the Great Perfection Realm, let alone the Demon Clan, unless…

“The boss has a Heavenly Demon Body!”

Other than this reason, the Bull Demon King couldn’t think of any other way Sun Wukong could have cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Skill to the Great Perfection Realm and transformed his Primordial Force into Chaos Primordial Force. It was no wonder Sun Wukong was so much stronger than them in the same realm. Putting aside Divine Skills and secret techniques, in terms of the Primordial Force within them and the level of its application, they were not in the same class as Sun Wukong!

Heavenly Demon Body!

A deep sense of loss welled up inside the Six-Eared Macaque. He could catch up in cultivation through diligent cultivation and improve upon the cultivation techniques and secret arts to the best of his ability, but how could he bridge the gap of innate physique?

The Heavenly Demon Body is the supreme divine body of the Demon Clan! From Ancient Primeval times to the present, only the Saint of the Demon Clan, Goddess Nuwa, Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi of the Primeval Heavenly Court had such physique, and only they had broken through to the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm. How could he, the Six-Eared Macaque, bridge such an innate physiological gap?

“No wonder Brother Wukong is so strong, so he actually has a Heavenly Demon Body. I couldn’t see it at all!”

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan admired inwardly. The Demonic Realm split from the Three Realms, so he certainly knew what the Heavenly Demon Body represented—it was the supreme divine body to achieve the Great Dao. With such a divine body, Sun Wukong, unless he met an untimely demise, would one day reach the summit of the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm, perhaps even ascend beyond.

Unbeknownst to Bull Demon King and the others, Sun Wukong’s Heavenly Demon Body had already evolved into an even higher-level Chaotic Divine Body. If they knew this, it would probably make their jaws drop.

“Heavenly Dragon Break!”

“Heaven-Breaking Thirty-Six Sticks!”

In the center of the battlefield, Sun Wukong and the Heavenly Demon Dragon had reached the point of unleashing their true power, each using their ultimate moves. The Heavenly Demon Dragon’s Divine Sense firmly locked onto Sun Wukong, unleashing the overwhelming power of a Demon Saint level, freezing the entire space. White Cloud Smoke of Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations could no longer be executed, and the Rosy Clouds Drifting of Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations was insufficient to divert such a strong attack. He intended to crush Sun Wukong with absolute strength!

Facing the ultimate moves of the Heavenly Demon Dragon, Sun Wukong showed not a trace of fear. He urged the Chaos Primordial Force within his body to its full potential, channeling it into the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod. Golden flames of the Great Sun Golden Flames burned fiercely on the rod, as he launched it towards the Heavenly Demon Dragon. Rod shadows materialized and slammed violently into the dragon-shaped energy orb that the Heavenly Demon Dragon had unleashed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Loud, explosive sounds continued to ring out as a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky. Around the mushroom cloud, one spatial crack after another flickered. The formidable shockwaves spread in all directions, and within a radius of several tens of miles from the center of the battlefield, trees were uprooted, and the ground was plowed as if by a giant tiller, layers of soil turned over, and the land cracked and collapsed, with its height dropping several feet!

“Humph!”

On a distant mountaintop, Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and the other two each erected a Primordial Force Shield to block the fierce shockwaves that hit them. The mountaintop they stood on rumbled, cracking inch by inch under the impact of the shockwaves. Initially standing atop the mountain, the three of them gradually sank lower until they were standing in a large pit, their faces full of shock.

“Is this the true strength of a Demon Saint level powerhouse? That Evil Dragon wasn’t serious when it fought us at all!”

The Six-Eared Macaque gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice. They were not in the center of the battlefield, yet they could feel such powerful residual impacts. How mighty must the force be at the exact point of collision between the two fighters? If the Heavenly Demon Dragon had used such power against them from the start, they wouldn’t have lasted until Sun Wukong’s arrival!

On the other hand, Sun Wukong was able to withstand such a powerful attack from the Heavenly Demon Dragon, and his combat power astounded the trio of the Six-Eared Macaque. Setting aside their cultivation levels, the current Sun Wukong seemed to possess the strength to contend with the Heavenly Dao Saint!

“Humph!”

In the very center of the battlefield, Sun Wukong grunted, taking two steps back in the void before stomping firmly to stabilize his figure. A sweet taste of blood rushed to his throat but was forcefully swallowed back down.

The power of the Heavenly Dao Saint level was indeed not so easy to counter. Although he had not yet unleashed the Heaven-Breaking Eighteen Rods, it was clear that the Heavenly Demon Dragon had also held back. His current strength was, ultimately, still not as good as that of an overpowered Demon Saint level demonic beast!

This was given that the Heavenly Demon Dragon had only Heavenly Dao Saint level power and lacked the Heavenly Dao’s understanding, the infusion of Great Dao Laws, and the enhancement of Domain Power. It was merely saintly level physical strength. If it were the Tathagata Buddha or the Primordial Heavenly Venerate, such beings of the Heavenly Dao Saint level taking action, Sun Wukong reckoned he would have already been severely injured and fallen from the clouds by now. How could he possibly still be flying in mid-air?

“Big brother, are you alright?”

As Sun Wukong’s contracted Divine Beast, the Dragon Cat felt the condition of Sun Wukong’s body most directly. With this clash of ultimate moves, Sun Wukong had been injured, but it was suppressed by his Chaotic Divine Body. The regenerative capability of the Chaotic Divine Body was working overdrive to heal the injuries, but it was internal damage that might be hard to fully recover from in a short time.

“I’m fine, not going to die!”

Sun Wukong spat out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva, his eyes flashing with golden light. He fully activated his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes to peer through the smoke to the other side. Unlike him, the Heavenly Demon Dragon had not taken a single step back, nor had it suffered any injuries. The physical body of a Demon Saint level overpowering demonic beast was too abnormal. It rivaled the Undying Body, not weakened in the slightest by such a degree of power impact.

The dust began to clear, and the mushroom cloud and spatial cracks dissipated, revealing the figures of Sun Wukong and the Heavenly Demon Dragon standing facing each other from a hundred yards apart.

“Lad, you truly amaze me! Barely half a step into the Demon Emperor Realm, and yet you manage to contend with me to such a degree! The power within you is not Demon Primordial Force; you are not from the Demonic Realm. Where exactly do you come from?”

Sun Wukong had braced himself for further attacks from the Heavenly Demon Dragon, ready to have the Dragon Cat use its innate talent of invoking charm at any moment. However, the aura around the Heavenly Demon Dragon suddenly withdrew, and the look it gave Sun Wukong had a hint of admiration.

“I, Old Sun, am from the Three Realms, I belong to the Demon Clan!”

Sun Wukong took a deep breath and declared loudly, “I am the Demon Clan’s Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong. My coming to the Demonic Realm was accidental, and I only ventured into the Myriad Beast Mountains to rescue three friends, not to provoke a fight!”@@novelbin@@
