Great Demon Sun Wukong

As soon as the two ghost figures appeared, they let out a roar and lunged at the giant mutant Tongtian Worm as if they were about to feast on a delicious meal. Simultaneously, the Six-Eared Macaque's nine giant apes laughed wildly, each wielding their own weapons and leapt into the air, smashing down towards the mutant Tongtian Worm from nine different directions.

But just as the nine Earth Element giant apes had struck the mutant Tongtian Worm, the King of Qin's ghost figures reached them. However, when they suddenly saw so many giant apes, they mistook them for competitors for the prey. Without a second thought, the ghost figure with the long slender knife turned sideways and slashed toward the giant ape's neck.

Although the ghost figure was tall and imposing, its movements were extremely agile and its reactions swift. However fast the ghost figure moved, the giant ape was just as quick, ducking its head and stepping back, the two giant axes in its hands chopping forward and backward towards the ghost figure's waist.

Whether it was the movement or the speed, the Earth Element giant ape was indistinguishable from a real giant ape, without the stiffness usually associated with elemental creatures.

Still, the ghost figure, being flesh and blood, held a slight advantage in speed over the Earth Element giant ape. It swiftly retracted the long knife and positioned it in front to block the incoming double axes. Then, leaning forward before the giant ape could react, it bit down on the ape's shoulder.

However, the ghost figure's face changed color instantly, it somersaulted backward and spat out everything in its mouth.

On the other side, the demon figure had also bitten into the waist of a yellow-brown giant ape, but just as quickly leapt back and began to retch. Transformed by the Imperial Ghost Seal, the ghost figure was the king of all ghosts, known as the Soul-Devouring Specter, specializing in feasting on the flesh and souls of living beings.

Transformed by the Demon Suppressing Seal was the Reincarnation Demon, one of the most domineering demons in the Three Realms, delighting in slaughtering living beings and sending them to reincarnation. It, too, was fond of devouring flesh.

But unfortunately, all nine giant apes were transformed from the Earth Element, and their souls were the blood dragons nourished by the essence blood of the Six-Eared Macaque, so they could not be devoured by the Soul-Devouring Specter. Thus, what the Soul-Devouring Specter and Reincarnation Demon had bitten into was essentially chunks of dirt.

After this brief exchange, both the Six-Eared Macaque and the King of Qin had gained a general understanding of each other's strengths and almost simultaneously made their next moves. Previously, the nine giant apes had descended from the sky, almost burying the entire Tongtian Worm underground, so now the worm was just beginning to crawl out.

But as soon as it showed itself, it was grabbed by the heads and tails of the nine Earth Element giant apes, as well as what seemed like tentacles that could not be distinguished as either arms or legs of the giant creature.

Since the nine giant apes were transformed from elements, they not only possessed immense strength but could practically be considered invulnerable as long as they were connected to the earth. Hence, the task of restraining the mutant Tongtian Worm naturally fell to the nine giant apes.

Just as the Six-Eared Macaque had secured the worm's movements, the Soul-Devouring Specter and Reincarnation Demon also leapt up high and then plummeted down towards the mutant Tongtian Worm, one on each side.

The Soul-Devouring Specter, holding the long knife, began to spin in mid-air like a general who had fought on countless battlefields, aiming precisely at the worm's head. The knife twirled, kicking up a whirlwind of blade energy, and by the time it landed, it had already slashed countless times.

The Reincarnation Demon, on the other hand, was much more direct, without any fancy knife skills, but with its horns striking directly into the midsection of the Tongtian Worm. The horns, carrying a razor-sharp aura, cleaved the worm in two. The giant Tongtian Worm only struggled briefly after being bifurcated before becoming motionless.

This outcome stunned both the King of Qin and the Six-Eared Macaque, who had not expected such a formidable mutant Tongtian Worm to be so easily slain, especially since neither had used their more powerful techniques yet. Looking at the bisected worm corpse on the ground, the Six-Eared Macaque paused for a moment.

Meanwhile, Lin Xi was locked in a fierce battle. After obliterating the black scorpion with the Dong Tian Chi, Lin Xi was about to emerge and warn the others, but suddenly felt a tightening around his body and realized he was restrained by his own Seal Heavenly Stamp. Before he could comprehend what was happening, he saw a familiar green light shooting directly towards his face.

In that instant, Lin Xi broke out in a cold sweat, for he realized what that green light was—it was the Dong Tian Chi transformed into a streak of green luminescence. There wasn't any time for shock as, with a thought, Lin Xi's own Dong Tian Chi burst forth from his sleeve, colliding with the incoming green light.

As the two streaks of green light met, Lin Xi could clearly see that one of them was indeed his Dong Tian Chi. But at that moment, the collision of the two identical Dong Tian Chi caused Lin Xi's brain to short-circuit.

```

What on earth is going on? Not only does someone know how to use my Seal of Heaven, but two Measure of the Mysterious Heavens appeared as well? The two beams of green light collided and triggered a spatial tremor. Then, the Measure of the Mysterious Heavens that was hurtling towards me suddenly vanished into thin air, along with the Spatial Chains that bound me.

Free from the Spatial Chains, Lin Xi quickly flashed away from his previous spot and retracted the Measure of the Mysterious Heavens while cautiously scanning his surroundings. His mind raced through various speculations and possibilities, but he dismissed them all one by one in the end. The scene that had just unfolded before his eyes was truly beyond comprehension, perhaps even impossible.

If claiming someone else had learned the Seal of Heaven and used it against me was plausible, then the appearance of that Measure of the Mysterious Heavens was utterly inconceivable. After all, it's a Worldly Instrument, not an ordinary weapon. Each Worldly Instrument is unique, and a second one should not exist.

But just now, I clearly saw another Measure of the Mysterious Heavens that felt authentically real upon clashing with mine, not an illusion or something transformed from other objects.

Just then, Lin Xi suddenly felt a terrifying presence arising from below. He swiftly turned around and to his horror, discovered a black worm crawling out from the ground. The sensation it gave Lin Xi was somewhat strange.

However, the Black Mirror Scorpion had no such thoughts; it sprung up and lunged at Lin Xi with its mouth wide open, revealing densely packed, sharply barbed teeth within the crevice that would tear away a significant chunk of flesh with a single bite.

At that moment, Lin Xi dared not take any chances. He quickly retreated, holding the Measure of the Mysterious Heavens in his hand.

Measure of the Mysterious Heavens, penetrating heaven and earth, reversing the beings of the Three Realms—all are within its power to shatter. It also boasts the supreme might of measuring right from wrong, quantifying good and evil, and severing life and death. However, these are not the greatest Divine Skills of the Measure of the Mysterious Heavens.

As a Domain Instrument, if it were merely extremely hard and sharp, then it would hardly do the name justice.

With the Measure of the Mysterious Heavens in hand, Lin Xi suddenly shouted, "Measure the cosmos, penetrate the universe, within Mount Meru embrace the myriad things of heaven and earth; delineate a square inch, divide Reincarnation, in an instant, all beings encompass thousands of years." As soon as these words were spoken, a pattern appeared on the Measure of the Mysterious Heavens.

This pattern was complex and profound, giving a glimpse into the secrets of heaven with a single look, and a rough understanding of the Creation of the universe with another. As the pattern manifested, it inexplicably spread around the body of the black worm. Just a meter away from Lin Xi, the worm, now ensnared by the pattern, was suddenly suspended in midair, unable to move further.

Then, Lin Xi sighed. With that breath, the pattern-trapped Black Mirror Scorpion slowly crumbled like a rotten log after eons, turning into dust that fell onto the sandy earth below, mixing with the soil beyond distinction.

"I didn't expect to use this move, and this is just the entrance. I truly don't know what terrifying things might be waiting inside..." Before he could finish his thought, Lin Xi's expression froze, then turned as ashen as death. He had just murmured in astonishment when he suddenly noticed a ring of patterns around his own body, as mysterious as any.

"What, what, what is happening here?"

Lin Xi couldn't help but feel utterly agast, for the pattern that had surrounded his body was the same one that had spread from the Measure of the Mysterious Heavens just moments before.

While the Six-Eared Macaque and Lin Xi were engaged in a tough battle, Yao Wumeng and the three others who entered from the Western Gate were similarly engulfed in a fierce struggle. Their adversaries were neither the Black Mirror Scorpions nor the Tongtian Worms but giant ants, larger than humans and glistening with a black sheen.
