Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Demon Ancestor Luo Hu’s Calculations (3rd Update)

Sun Wukong crossed his legs and sat down, no longer concerning himself with Jidu Demon Emperor. He exerted his full strength to operate the Eight-Nine Profound Skill, stimulating the Chaos Primordial Force within his body to recuperate. The recovery ability of the Chaotic Divine Body was extraordinarily astonishing, not only regarding injuries but also in the speed of recovering Chaos Primordial Force. However, no matter how astonishing, it still needed time—and time was exactly what Sun Wukong lacked the most!

Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened to Jidu Demon Emperor, one thing Sun Wukong was certain of was that the transformations occurring in Jidu Demon Emperor were definitely not a good sign for him!

Preparedness prevents troubles. Since he currently had no way to deal with Jidu Demon Emperor, and his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes were also obstructed and unable to inspect the situation, it was best to quickly restore his own strength. That way, even if something unexpected occurred, he wouldn’t be left without the strength to fight back.

Sun Wukong was racing against time to heal his injuries and restore his depleted strength. Above in the sky, Jidu Demon Emperor’s expression became increasingly ferocious and terrifying, continuously switching between two drastically different faces, bizarrely conversing with each other. If anyone could see this scene, they would certainly be shocked to the point of dropping their jaw!

“Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, weren’t you long dead? How is this possible?”

Jidu Demon Emperor’s face contorted in agony as he roared to the heavens, and then his expression changed to one of scornful, cold sneering—it was Demon Ancestor Luo Hu’s face.

“Dead? I have long been indestructible. Even Hong Jun cannot annihilate me. You think you can refine my Primordial Spirit? That’s simply a fool’s dream!”

The face changed again, turning back into Jidu Demon Emperor’s pained expression, “You, you knew all along that I wanted to absorb your Primordial Spirit, didn’t you? You deliberately did not resist, didn’t you?”

“Only realizing it now, don’t you think it’s a bit too late?”

The face of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu reappeared, “I have long been aware of your nefarious ambitions; I just never pointed them out. Otherwise, did you really think you could extract my Primordial Spirit from the Demon God Pillar?”

“You, you old bastard, you plotted against me!”

Jidu Demon Emperor’s voice was filled with despair and unwillingness. He desperately tried to regain control of his body only to find it futile; his control over his body was diminishing bit by bit as his Primordial Spirit was continuously pushed into a vulnerable state by Demon Ancestor Luo Hu’s Primordial Spirit Strength.

“A plot? Perhaps so, but weren’t you also scheming against me? It’s just that you were one step short, and I one step ahead!”@@novelbin@@

The voice of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu remained unmoved; Jidu Demon Emperor was merely struggling in vain, “I needed a suitable body, and yours suited me perfectly. You wanted the strength of my Primordial Spirit and the insights into the Great Dao, while I wanted your body—it was merely an exchange of needs. If there’s anyone to blame, blame your misfortune for encountering a vicious Demon Monkey. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for me to take over your body!”

“You, you weren’t completely sure that you could take my body, were you? You were gambling?”

Jidu Demon Emperor discerned the implication in Demon Ancestor Luo Hu’s words—the latter wasn’t sure he could take over Jidu Demon Emperor’s body. He was merely gambling, betting that Jidu Demon Emperor would get injured and weakened in the ensuing great battle, presenting him with an opportunity!

The fact proved that Demon Ancestor Luo Hu had won the bet!

Because of Sun Wukong’s presence, Jidu Demon Emperor, despite his utmost efforts, failed to defeat Sun Wukong. Frustrated and enraged, he resorted to a secret technique. Although he severely injured Sun Wukong, he himself fell into extreme weakness and could no longer withstand the erosion of his body by Demon Ancestor Luo Hu!

“Gambling? Yes, one might say that. In this world, who isn’t gambling with their life? I, the Demon Ancestor, once gambled with Hong Jun. I lost, so my physical body was dismembered, leaving only my Primordial Spirit to escape back to the Demonic Realm, where I’ve endured hiding within the Demon God Pillar all these years, waiting for this chance to regain my physical body. I, of course, had to take the bet!”

The voice of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu became slightly excited, but soon returned to a cold tone, “Jidu, you have already lost the bet. I will not give you any more chances. Your physical body, I have claimed it! But rest assured, I will allow a sliver of your Soul’s True Spirit to reincarnate as a reward for your contribution of your physical body to help my rebirth!”

“Bastard! Luo Hu, you damned bastard! This is my body, mine! Even if I die, I will not let you have your way! Explode for me!”

Jidu Demon Emperor felt desperate. He knew he could never overpower Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, this old madman! To get the chance to live again, he had endured letting his Lifebound Primordial Spirit get sucked into and refined within his body. If he hadn’t been injured, there would have been no chance at all, and he would eventually have his Primordial Spirit completely refined, erasing all Divine Sense within it, leading to complete obliteration of both body and spirit for Luo Hu.

Knowing this could be the outcome, he still did it without hesitation, gambling that he would get injured and severely wounded in the great battle!

Madman, he is truly a madman!

Jidu Demon Emperor screamed in madness, he too had gone insane. Soul’s True Spirit reincarnation was akin to having all ties to this life vanish, with not even memories surviving. Although not an absolute obliteration, would the next life still be him?

No, he couldn’t accept it!

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu wanted his physical body? Even if it meant complete obliteration of his body and spirit, he would not let Luo Hu succeed, not let his physical body fall into his hands!

Driven by madness, Jidu Demon Emperor exerted all his strength to detonate the remaining Demon Primordial Force in his body. He wanted to self-destruct, obliterate his physical body and Divine Soul, dragging Demon Ancestor Luo Hu down with him!

The Demon Primordial Force within him began to swell but disappeared cleanly before it could expand enough to burst his body, as if it had never been activated.

“What’s happening? Explode for me! Explode, ah ah!”

Jidu Demon Emperor roared with bloodshot eyes, desperately mobilizing the energy within his body, but to no avail. The Demon Primordial Force inside him would vanish silently just as it began to swell, nowhere near enough to self-destruct.

“Jidu, stop wasting your effort! Most of your body is already under my control. Did you think I would give you a chance to self-destruct?”

The mocking voice of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu resounded. The gathered Demon Primordial Force summoned by Jidu Demon Emperor was being released by him. The body was now mostly under his control; Jidu Demon Emperor trying to self-destruct under his watch was a fool’s dream!

“Bastard! Bastard, bastard, bastard! I can’t accept this, I just can’t!”

Jidu Demon Emperor roared madly, suddenly, the crazed look on his face froze, and no further changes occurred. Immediately after, a sinister cold smile hooked at the corner of his mouth.
