Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Occupying the Physical Body (4th Update)

“At last, I have mastered this physical body!”

The voice that echoed from Jidu Demon Emperor’s mouth was that of the delighted laughter of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu. With a flip of his hand, a green light emerged within his palm – it was Jidu Demon Emperor’s lifebound primordial spirit, which Luo Hu had forced out of the Niwan Palace and now held in his hand.

“Luo Hu, you will not end well! You treat me this way today, one day someone will surely do the same to you!”

From within the green sphere, the desperate roar of Jidu Demon Emperor rang out. He had lost, thoroughly defeated. His physical body had been completely taken over by Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, and his primordial spirit had been completely expelled from his body, trapped within the green light, like fish on the chopping block, devoid of any power to resist.

“Someone will do this to me? I’m afraid the person capable of doing so has yet to be born!”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu let out a cold laugh, his eyes flashing with a terrifying cold glint, “Jidu, originally, I intended to let your soul’s true spirit undergo reincarnation, but now it seems that eradicating you completely would be the safest option!”

“You, you are not keeping your word! You promised me reincarnation!”

As soon as Demon Ancestor Luo Hu uttered those words, Jidu Demon Emperor immediately withered, screaming in extreme terror. Now he had only his lifebound primordial spirit left. If his lifebound primordial spirit were to be destroyed, then he, the Jidu Demon Emperor, would truly be erased from this world!

“Not keeping my word? Ridiculous! When did I ever promise that I must let you go?”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu snorted disdainfully, “To spare you would be merciful, and indeed, I had considered it. But you clearly do not appreciate it! If so, why should I leave a hidden danger for myself? You might as well be completely extinguished!”

“Luo Hu, I…”

The voice of Jidu Demon Emperor, despairing and frantic, had just begun when, without finishing his last sentence, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu fiercely clenched his hand, completely crushing the green light sphere in his palm, turning it into sprinkles of green light that scattered.

The primordial spirit of the Jidu Demon Emperor, completely obliterated, ceased to exist!

“An ignorant thing!”

Spitting contemptuously, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu glanced at his new body and nodded in satisfaction, “However, this fellow’s physical body is quite decent, not a complete waste of my great effort!”

With a clenched fist, the physical body left by Jidu Demon Emperor began to move, especially the face, which rapidly changed. Soon, a handsome demon of the Demon Race emerged, who was a good half head taller than the original Jidu Demon Emperor, with purple long hair, a dragon-shaped demon pattern on each cheek, and a single horn on his head.

This was the original appearance of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu!

For those who have achieved success in cultivation, changing the essence of the physical body is quite difficult, but merely altering one’s appearance is as easy as lifting a hand, presenting no challenge whatsoever. Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, having taken over Jidu Demon Emperor’s physical body, did not wish to live with Jidu Demon Emperor’s face; he wanted to revert to his true appearance.

“Now, it’s time to meet that little monkey!”@@novelbin@@

With a sinister smile on his lips, the newly transformed Jidu Demon Emperor set his gaze upon the earth below, focusing on Sun Wukong in the deep pit, and took steps through the air towards him.

“Here it comes!”

The events unfolding on Jidu Demon Emperor’s body had not escaped Sun Wukong’s watchful eye. Although he was not using his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes to peer into the situation anymore, the previous battle with Jidu Demon Emperor had cleared the radius of a hundred miles, and the dark clouds above had dissipated without a trace, leaving the line of sight completely unobstructed. While Sun Wukong focused on circulating his Qi and breathing to heal his injuries, he never stopped observing Jidu Demon Emperor with the corner of his eye.

Based on the results, it seemed someone had taken over the body of Jidu Demon Emperor, whose Primordial Spirit had already been extinguished, and the invader was now approaching Sun Wukong.

“Are you, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu?”

Seeing Demon Ancestor Luo Hu descending step by step from the sky to the ground and settling his form in the deep pit, Sun Wukong slightly squinted his eyes and rose to his feet. However, the Eight-Nine Profound Skill within him was still operating, and the Chaos Primordial Force continued to recover. Because of his Chaotic Divine Body, his injuries had essentially healed, with no significant troubles left, but the depleted Chaos Primordial Force certainly couldn’t be restored so quickly.

There was also the Ruyi Divine Armor, which had been pierced by the black spear, leaving a hole. Although it had the ability to stretch and self-repair, it still sustained some damage and would need to be nurtured for a period to completely recover.

“Oh, you’ve heard of me, Ancestor?”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu appeared somewhat surprised as Sun Wukong easily mentioned his name, and his gaze took another measure of Sun Wukong.

“Of course!”

Sun Wukong nodded, “The only peerless powerhouse in the Demon Race who proved the Tao and became a Saint, once contended with Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor but sadly was defeated by his hand. Your physical body was divided and sealed in various parts of the Three Realms, and half of your Primordial Spirit escaped back to the Demonic Realm, dwelling inside the Demon Pillars, absorbing the Power of Faith from the believers in the Demonic Realm to restore your strength. I am not wrong, am I?”

“Clap, clap!”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu applauded, “Not bad, not bad. It’s rare that you, a junior, know so much about the affairs of this Ancestor. Then you should also be very clear that this Ancestor has now taken Jidu’s physical body.”

“Of course!”

Sun Wukong nodded again, “I have already seen it. That fellow Jidu’s Primordial Spirit has perished; from now on, this body is yours, Demon Ancestor! This must have been part of your plan from the beginning, right?”

“Smart!”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu smiled, “Come to think of it, this Ancestor should thank you, little monkey. If it weren’t for your big battle with Jidu that injured him, forcing him to use the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique, consuming a good amount of his Lifeblood Essence and greatly diminishing his Primordial Qi, this Ancestor might not have been able to separate his Primordial Spirit and body so easily!”

“You flatter me! I and that Jidu Demon Emperor were mortal enemies to the death; fighting him was not for your sake. There’s no need for thanks!”

Sun Wukong shook his head. He didn’t feel any hostility or killing intent from Demon Ancestor Luo Hu. What was this Supreme Demon really thinking—was he simply expressing his gratitude?

“Interesting! Hahaha, you’re quite the character, youngster! You suit my taste!”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu laughed heartily. Looking at Sun Wukong, his eyes held a bit more esteem. Demon Ancestor Luo Hu was also a figure who commanded the wind and clouds in ancient times, slaying the Three Corpses to merge with the Dao and becoming a Saint, attaining the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal fruit. Apart from Great God Pangu, the Primordial Wuji Da Luo Gold Immortal who opened the heavens with strength and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor who also achieved the Dao by slaying the Three Corpses and becoming a Saint, he never took anyone seriously.

But at this moment, he was truly seeing Sun Wukong in a new light!
