Great Demon Sun Wukong

Ming Wanjie could be said to be one of the top five powerhouses in the Netherworld World. The reason for his mediocre performance after entering the Patrolling Celestial World was that his moves and abilities weren't suited for small-scale battles or one-on-one fights. The main reason why Yue Huangquan had Ming Wanjie participate in the Patrolling Celestial World was actually for his strategic use. Like the current situation, when his side needed to retreat and the enemy relentlessly pursued, that was the time for Ming Wanjie to take action.

When he spoke, the space in front of him suddenly trembled, and a spatial fissure over a hundred meters long appeared. Following that, a palace shrouded in a ghostly aura slowly floated out from the fissure. The palace was constructed entirely from an unknown type of black stone, and the sinister ghostly qi made it exceedingly uncomfortable to look at.

The palace was about sixty meters wide, with two levels. Once the black palace touched the ground, four clusters of eerie green ghost fire suddenly lit up above it. The ghost fire, initially the size of a fist, began to burn brighter and larger. Soon the four clusters of ghost fire took on the shape of gigantic flaming skulls, burning fiercely. At that moment, everyone watching the black palace felt a searing sensation in their souls as if their souls were about to be consumed by the flames alongside the flaming skulls.

"Don't look at the ghost fire. Everyone, bypass the palace on both sides. We can't let them escape; Yao Wumeng's reinforcements will soon arrive!" Ling Weiyang said while using his Kirin Power to purge the Blood Fiend Force from Bai Zhaoju's half-body, to the Myriad Demons Country's people. Heeding Ling Weiyang's command, they approached the eerie black palace, albeit still wary.

Having been suppressed by the Netherworld Alliance Army for so long, everyone from the Myriad Demons Country was boiling with rage with nowhere to vent. Now that their reinforcements had finally arrived, how could they let the enemy retreat so smoothly? To come and go as they pleased, did they really think the Myriad Demons Country was their own backyard? But just as the people of Myriad Demon Country approached the black palace, they all felt a chill in their hearts. Then they saw countless resentful spirits and malevolent ghosts float out from the palace, each circling the four clusters of flaming skulls before charging at the people from Myriad Demons Country.

Actually, when those ghosts and malevolent spirits appeared, the people of Myriad Demons Country breathed a sigh of relief because, given the terrifying aura of the palace, they had thought some powerful creatures would emerge. But they found only souls of strength between one to four Dao Patterns, and even the strongest among them only had eight Patterns. Against such souls, they were confident they could wipe out a large number in a mere wave of their hands. Not to mention souls, even if they had physical bodies, the gap in levels could not make up for the difference.

Sometimes, the gap in quality could not be compensated for by quantity. To everyone's surprise, those souls bathed in the ghost fire rushed towards them but did not attack directly. Instead, taking advantage of their nature as soul bodies, they began to fly and twirl around everyone, emitting piercing shrieks. Were these ghosts just for show, intending to affect them with nothing but their screams?

Ordinary mortals or those with very low cultivation might have been affected by the ghostly screams, but they were some of the top powerhouses. However, their confusion didn't last long, for as they began to attack the ghosts, Ming Wanjie's lips curled into a slight smile. He then whispered, "Hehe, I can finally make my move. The people of Myriad Demons Country, today, you'll see just how formidable Ming Wanjie is. Soul Explosion!" With a low shout, the roughly thousand souls that had surrounded all of Myriad Demons Country's people detonated in an instant!

Although Ming Wanjie was known for unleashing a myriad of ghosts, he had only used a little over a thousand soul spirits, most of which only had one to two patterns worth of strength. After all, these soul spirits were ones Ming Wanjie had collected himself one by one. The lower-strength ones didn't matter as much — even if there were more, Ming Wanjie wouldn't care. But he wasn't as generous with the higher-level ones.

The explosion of over a thousand malevolent ghosts had involved only one soul close to eight patterns. Nonetheless, that power was already sufficient. With just over a dozen of them wounded, Ming Wanjie believed that the explosion of over a thousand souls was enough to trouble them significantly, perhaps even killing a few more if luck was on his side.

As the explosive sounds rang out, Ming Wanjie laughed heartily as he chased after Sun Wukong and the others. Meanwhile, when the explosion occurred, Divine Honor He Tu's mouth twitched involuntarily. He had a doppelganger over in the Annihilation Palace, so he witnessed everything that happened there firsthand. The self-detonation of those thousand ferocious beasts, Flame God's Fire Explosion, Xi Zhao's Ice Explosion, Zijing's Earth Explosion, and now Ming Wanjie's Soul Explosion — it could be said that the people of Myriad Demons Country and Annihilation Demon Nation truly received a comprehensive baptism by explosions.

As Ming Wanjie turned to leave, someone amidst the intense explosion noticed and shouted, "That man is running, chase him!" But just as he spoke, his pupils shrank for he realized that the black stone palace in front was rapidly expanding. Could it be, could the palace be about to explode too? The explosion of those souls was already more than they could take; if the palace were to explode as well...

At this moment, everyone panicked, no longer caring about the retreating Netherworld Alliance Army, and ran wildly in the opposite direction as if their lives depended on it. Even Ling Weiyang frowned and, carrying Bai Zhaoju, hurried off into the distance. The fluctuations of power within the black palace grew more and more intense; some with keen eyesight even spotted cracks forming on the palace.

Just as everyone braced for the palace's explosion, the black palace, with all its momentum and energy fluctuations, suddenly withdrew and then disappeared with a whoosh. The disappearance of the palace was so abrupt that many were caught off guard. "Eh, did it explode?" a member of the Myriad Demons Country, clutching his wounded arm, dumbfoundedly asked while staring at the spot where the black palace had vanished.

Someone slapped him on the head and angrily said, "Explode my ass. We've been duped, damn it!" Ling Weiyang realized they'd been tricked as well. After all, the previous soul explosions of over a thousand had left everyone jittery, so no one really investigated whether the palace's explosion was genuine. Watching the Netherworld Alliance Army's figures disappearing from sight, rage bubbled in Ling Weiyang's chest.

Meanwhile, on one side of the Myriad Demons Palace, two groups of people rapidly approached at an astonishing speed. One group was from the Ancient Primordial World, led by the Sky Swallowing Buddha, Soul Devouring Monk, followed by a dozen Buddhas. However, Sha Wujing, who possessed the World Suppressing Stele—or Monk Sha, as he was also known—was conspicuously absent.

The other group was led by two individuals; one was the previously unseen Yao Wumeng from the Myriad Demons Country, and the other wore an ancient-looking armor with a chain wrapped around his body and a small lock over his chest. Behind them walked two people side by side, whose armors appeared rather worn; but they were familiar faces: one called Ming Tu and the other was Ming An.

Earlier in the trial at the Patrolling Celestial World, when all sides were still scouting the terrain, individuals from the Genesis Divine Nation like Luo Chen, as well as the cohort of the Five Demon Gods from the Myriad Demons Country led by Fen Yan, encountered an attack not from Ferocious Beasts but from two calling themselves the Underworld God Army—Ming Tu and Ming An. Now, seeing them aligning with the Myriad Demons Country made it apparent that the Underworld God Army had formed some sort of alliance, otherwise these people in tattered armor wouldn't be following Yao Wumeng as reinforcements for the Myriad Demons Country.

Witnessing these two groups, Ling Weiyang's furrowed brows finally relaxed. He handed Bai Zhaoju over to a subordinate for care and flew forth to meet the approaching troops. Upon their meeting, greetings were exchanged, and when Ling Weiyang learned that the Netherworld Alliance Army had retreated in advance, knowing about these reinforcements, everyone felt helpless. With Zhibei's intelligence, the Netherworld Army indeed had a great advantage in seizing the right moment for battle.

Following Yao Wumeng's introduction, Ling Weiyang learned that these were indeed the people of the Underworld God Army. The person who had accompanied Yao Wumeng was none other than Qian Yuye, the most powerful and prestigious within the ranks of the Underworld God Army, possessing Domain Lord Level Cultivation. Observing the Underworld God Army's neatly assembled squad of fifty, Ling Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Underworld God Army's assistance, both the Netherworld World and the Genesis Divine Nation were no longer a concern. Moreover, according to information provided by Qian Yuye, the forces of the Genesis Divine Nation were currently in fierce combat with the Underworld God Army. The cause hinged on a person named Luo Chen who had defeated Ming Tu before, sparing his life instead of killing him. Using a mark left by Luo Chen, the Underworld God Army traced their way to the Genesis Palace and launched an attack.

This also explained why the Genesis Palace had been quiet these past days. It turned out that soon after the Netherworld World's forces had left, the Genesis Palace was assaulted by the Underworld God Army. If Sun Wukong and the others could not end the battle swiftly and return to defend, even the Netherworld Palace might be endangered.

Elsewhere, the successfully retreating Netherworld Alliance Army did not immediately return to the Myriad Gods Hall but unexpectedly turned in the direction of the Annihilation Palace.

Xi Zhao, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and others were still fiercely battling within the Annihilation Palace.
