Great Demon Sun Wukong

In the Patrolling Celestial World, aside from the intense slaughter that was taking place before the gates of the Annihilation Palace of the Annihilation Demon Nation, two other major battles also erupted elsewhere. However, the situations at these two fronts were completely opposite. From the three allied forces of Netherworld World, Myriad Gods, and Canglan River Realm, there were altogether forty-five people. Yet, only twenty were assaulting the Annihilation Demon Nation. The remaining twenty-five, of course, had other tasks. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

In fact, just as the third ferocious beast siege on Annihilation Palace had ended, Myriad Demons Palace and Primordial Palace were almost simultaneously attacked. However, these two powers, not facing the beast siege and having long been prepared for the Netherworld Alliance Army's sneak attacks, engaged in direct and tough confrontations at Primordial Palace and Myriad Demons Palace.

Besides the twenty people attacking Annihilation Palace, there were another twenty-five. Of those, twenty were assigned to assault Myriad Demons Palace, leaving only five to attack Primordial Palace. This was no mistake, but rather a decision made under the guidance of Zhibei. Although this generation's Zhibei was not as strong as the first, unable to predict the future with precise details, he could still discern basic outcomes through divination.

For instance, this time Zhibei told them that Myriad Demons Country possessed formidable combat power and a slight mishap could lead to a dangerous counterattack, an unprofitable outcome. As for the Ancient Primordial World, there was no significant danger predicted, and if Sun Wukong were to go, he would surely return unscathed. Thus, based on the results of the divination, under Zhibei's guidance, a full twenty people launched an attack on Myriad Demons Palace.

As it turned out, Zhibei's divination was very accurate. Among the twenty who launched the assault on Myriad Demons Country, there were not only the Divine Honor He Tu from Myriad Gods Hall, Po Jun, and Xi Zhao, three top experts and the Divine Oracle Zhibei, but also Si Ye, Ghost Jade, the Prophet Yi Xuan, and Liang Ji from the Canglan River Realm. Naturally, Netherworld World's Ming Wanjie and the Five Great War Generals were also part of the attack. It could be said that the group of twenty included the most top-tier powerhouses. Even the ones storming Annihilation Demon Nation led by Xi Zhao could not compare.

The Flame God had initially planned to be part of the attack on Myriad Demons Country but had to reluctantly stay with the small team attacking Annihilation Demon Nation due to the need to coordinate with Xi Zhao's Ice Explosion. Therefore, the Flame God's performance later stood out so strikingly, as it was born from venting frustration. Though the Flame God was absent, the small team was still overwhelmingly powerful.

Two Domain Lord Level powerhouses, two seers with the profound ability to anticipate future events, ten top Supreme powerhouses, along with six other formidable individuals capable of dominating on their own, filled the team with confidence for the attack. According to intelligence, Myriad Demons Country had only one person at the Domain Lord Level, one of the Five Emperors of Myriad Demons Country, the Purple Kirin, Weiyang. Apart from the Five Demon Gods, the only other top-tier Supreme powerhouse was Long Tian. Moreover, Long Tian had been dispatched to Annihilation Palace, and together with the nine others who had accompanied him, Myriad Demons Country was left with a mere nineteen defenders.

Of course, everyone had not forgotten that as the third place in the Six Kingdoms War, Myriad Demons Country still had fifty Guardian Puppets. Thus, although abundant in strong fighters, this battle was by no means easy. Nobody knew if Myriad Demons Country had any other secret weapons. When the two forces actually clashed, everyone inwardly marveled that though Myriad Demons Country had only nineteen people, they managed to hold their ground against the twenty attackers.

Despite the attacking side having far more top-tier powerhouses, when the battle began and Weiyang alone took on five top fighters, the scales of victory, after wobbling briefly, began to slowly tip toward Myriad Demons Country. However, this tilt was very, very slight.

Then, unexpectedly, another among the Myriad Demons Country's ranks suddenly erupted into action. Initially appearing to be an ordinary Supreme Peak contender, locked in an evenly matched battle with a warrior from Canglan River Realm, they burst forth unexpectedly, and within a few moves, struck down their Supreme Peak adversary with the force of thunder. But the Netherworld Alliance Army was quick to respond, and five top-tier Supreme powerhouses immediately stepped forward to intercept.

The battle situation turned into the Netherworld World's Five Battle Generals, the Evil Monarch, Zhan Yunyi, Shang Sheng, Old Wang, and Du Tianyang, each engaged in one-on-one combat against Myriad Demons Country's Five Demon Gods Fen Yan, Mo Can, Chu Zhan, Jue Cha, and Han Ling. Their targets reflected the line-up from the previous battle in Netherworld World. The Evil Monarch faced off against Fen Yan, Zhan Yunyi against Jue Cha, Shang Sheng against Chu Zhan, Du Tianyang against Mo Can, and Old Wang once again took on the only female among the Five Demon Gods, Han Ling.

Further, Ming Wanjie, Divine Honor He Tu, Po Jun, Xi Zhao and Yi Xuan five together faced Weiyang. They didn't wish for such a scenario, but right at the beginning of the battle, Weiyang had drawn all five into the fray, and now they were unable to disengage and assist others even if they wished to. The other one-versus-five was the individual who had erupted without warning and instantly killed an opponent; now, despite being surrounded by Si Ye, Ghost Jade, Liang Ji, and Divine Oracle Zhibei, along with another Supreme Peak powerhouse, he was holding his own without faltering.

Two individuals from Myriad Demons Country were successfully tying down ten people from the Netherworld Alliance Army. Together with the five locked in combat with the Five Demon Gods, the Netherworld Alliance Army's twenty were reduced to five. And these five were facing an assault by twelve from Myriad Demons Country, creating effectively a two-on-one scenario. This was quite beyond everyone's expectations.

And indeed, those capable of taking on five opponents at once were certainly not nobodies. The Myriad Demons Country was ruled by the Five Emperors: the Eastern Green Emperor Ling Weiyang, the Southern Red Emperor Chi Biaonu, the Western White Emperor Bai Zhaoju, the Northern Black Emperor Zhi Xianji. And this man was precisely the White Emperor of the Demon Clan, Bai Zhaoju. However, even as one of the Five Emperors, by normal standards, he would only be considered a Domain Lord Level powerhouse, but now the combat power displayed by both Bai Zhaoju and Ling Weiyang far exceeded that of an ordinary Domain Lord. Otherwise, they couldn't possibly have held their own against five opponents without falling behind.

This development plunged the members of the Netherworld Alliance Army into a fierce battle. The Five Battle Generals and those besieging Qing and Bai were managing somehow, but the remaining few each had to face two opponents of similar strength, leaving them with no choice but to struggle desperately to hold on.

Yet, in the eyes of Zhibei and others, there was not much anxiety. Although the strength of Ling Weiyang and Bai Zhaoju was far beyond expectations, the others had not yet shown their full power. In fact, the current situation was more about Zhibei waiting; he was awaiting the actions of the Myriad Demons Country once they gained the upper hand, and based on their actions, he would decide his next move.

At the same time, the Primordial Palace had also erupted into a grand battle. However, the scene was the complete opposite of the skirmish at Myriad Demons Palace. Led by Sun Wukong, there were only five individuals launching an attack on the Primordial Palace. Yet at this moment, they were locked in a fierce battle with ten experts from the Ancient Primordial World. Sun Wukong, with his short silver hair and battle armor of black and white, wielded the Ruyi Jingu Bang with attacks that were heavy, forceful, and precisely timed. Alone, he was battling against six experts from the Ancient Primordial World.

The remaining four each faced one of the Buddhas from the Ancient Primordial World, locked in an intense battle where victory or defeat couldn't be easily ascertained without interference from a third party. As for Sun Wukong, he was growing more ferocious in battle, and now it seemed that the six experts were on the verge of defeat. Wukong's Jingu Bang glowed with a mix of yellow and gold: the yellow was the Desolate Sand, the gold was the Seal Heavenly Stamp; wherever he struck, few dared to clash with him directly. The six Buddhas stood firm in their positions, incessantly using their Magic Treasures and various energy patterns to attack, scarcely daring to engage at close quarters. Otherwise, they probably would have been defeated by now.

"Should we get Jing Sha involved? If this continues, these six won't hold out, and it'd be bad if any harm came to them. Better to have Jing Sha take action and quickly deal with these five. Anyway, the ferocious beasts from the Annihilation Demon Nation should have already started their siege; we might as well go and see if they need assistance," suggested the Yu Fan Taoist Monk to the Soul Devouring Monk, watching the awe-inspiring Sun Wukong.

After a brief contemplation, the Soul Devouring Monk nodded in agreement. Although it was unknown which force these five belonged to, their audacity to assault Primordial Palace with just five individuals seemed overly dismissive. Regardless, in this Patrolling Celestial World, the loss of one is the loss of a warrior. Eliminating these five would lighten the burden in the upcoming grand war. With Soul Devouring Monk's affirmation, Yu Fan Taoist Monk turned and entered the Primordial Palace.

Jing Sha, who was the bearded Monk with the Ultimate Water Number Eight, the World Suppressing Stele, was usually found chanting scriptures in his room all day long. Therefore, Yu Fan Taoist Monk personally had to ask him to join the battle. In fact, dealing with these five intruders would not be difficult for Yu Fan Taoist Monk and Soul Devouring Monk, aided by the many Buddhas. However, to err on the side of caution—since these five dared to provoke the Primordial Palace meant they might have some trump cards—it was decided that Jing Sha would unleash the World Suppressing Stele to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Soon after, led by Yu Fan Taoist Monk, Jing Sha Monk, gripping a crescent shovel that looked very heavy, walked out of the Primordial Palace. Meanwhile, Sun Wukong was too preoccupied to pay much attention, for he had just identified two flaws in his opponents; if he could dodge the next attack, he was confident he could take down those two.

As his body flickered away, Sun Wukong once again dodged two Demon-Subduing Pestles radiating golden Buddha Light, and a faint smile crossed his lips. Suddenly, a black light burst beneath his feet, and Sun Wukong's figure vanished from the spot, reappearing behind one of the Buddhas who had just thrown a pestle. The Jingu Bang in his hand came down hard, and the Buddha let out a scream as he plummeted to the ground.

Sun Wukong did not pursue further but flickered once again, preparing to deliver a surprise blow to another vulnerable opponent. However, his attack, which materialized as soon as he reappeared, was unexpectedly blocked. Still, the Buddha fell to the ground with a cry of pain. It was then that Sun Wukong saw the individual who blocked his strike, and the recognition nearly made him cry out in alarm.

"Sha, Brother Sha?"

It turned out that the Buddha Sun Wukong was about to attack had been smacked to the ground by a sweep from Jing Sha, who then took his place to block Wukong's hit.
