Chapter 1048: Breakout (2nd Update!)
"Thank you! Sorry for the trouble, Great Sage Sun!"
After the battle in the Heavenly Que Realm, the name of Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, had spread throughout the Yuan Realm. Especially when the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan dispatched the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team to besiege the Demon Court, only to return with no success, without injuring anyone but simply destroying an empty Demon Court. With this incident, Sun Wukong's fame grew even more!
Now, suddenly Sun Wukong appeared and with a single move demolished two Great Formation Barriers, like a bright light in the darkness, instantly illuminating the nearly hopelessly dead heart of the Heavenly Dao Sect's Great Elder. Without saying a word more, he powered his Primordial Force, performing a body technique and swiftly followed Sun Wukong to rush outward, along with other influential opponents who were against opening the Dimensional Gate.
"Humph! Sun Wukong, do you think my Primordial Spirit Sect is a place where you can come and go as you please? You are too underestimating me!"
The Sect Master of the Primordial Spirit Sect, Mu Yin, flashed a ruthless look in his eyes, suddenly raising his hand to clutch down, as a giant hand suddenly extended from the clouds high above the firmament, grasping towards Sun Wukong, completely ignoring the Heavenly Dao Sect's Great Elder and others.
In Mu Yin's view, as long as Sun Wukong is captured, the Heavenly Dao Sect's Great Elder and others are trapped like a turtle in a jar, unable to escape!
"Another illusionary giant hand! Can't you guys come up with something new? Always using the same trick!"
Facing the descending giant hand, Sun Wukong's face displayed no panic whatsoever, showing instead a disdainful expression. He had encountered such attacks numerous times in the Three Realms, as this was Tathagata Buddha's favorite trick, seemingly making others feel the power.
But in Sun Wukong's view, this type of attack was utterly foolish, effective against opponents vastly inferior to oneself, and indeed could capture with ease, appearing very impressive, but against enemies of similar strength, such attacks were nothing short of a joke!
"Break it for me!"
He reached to his ear and drew out the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, swiftly enlarging it, and thrust it towards the descending giant hand with great force. The Divine Core Primordial Force focused within, and the Primordial Golden Flame burned fiercely upon the Rod's body.
With a thunderous boom, strong light engulfed Sun Wukong's entire figure. The Sect Master of Primordial Spirit Sect, Mu Yin's smile suddenly froze, realizing his strike failed to capture Sun Wukong!
How is this possible?
Sun Wukong's cultivation clearly was only at the Domain Emperor Realm, how could he possibly withstand the attack?
The strong light dissipated, revealing Sun Wukong's figure. The energy giant hand illusioned by Mu Yin was punctured with a giant hole by the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, utterly failing to block Sun Wukong!
After smashing the energy hand with a giant hole, Sun Wukong, along with the Heavenly Dao Sect's Great Elder, swiftly rushed out through the breach without lingering, continuing to escape beyond the Primordial Spirit Sect.
In just this short while, they had descended the Ring Mountain Cliff, arriving at the Ice Lake's edge.
"This Great Sage Sun's strength is definitely not merely at the Domain Emperor Realm! Even a normal Domain Saint Realm strong expert likely wouldn't possess such explosive force! That previous move, what terrible destructive power!"
The Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect followed beside Sun Wukong closely. The power of that previous strike from Sun Wukong was most vividly felt by him, the destruction's explosive force that erupted instantly, even made him with peak cultivation in the Domain Saint Realm shudder.
A youngster at the Domain Emperor Realm unexpectedly could deliver an attack that made Domain Saint Realm powerhouses tremble; it truly was inconceivable, this Sun Wukong!
No wonder the Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance from Ancient Heavenly Court that nobody managed to acquire through endless ages was obtained by him. This Great Sage Sun Wukong indeed possessed extraordinary prowess, uniquely different, vastly different!
"Sun Wukong, today you shall not escape!"
The energy hand shattered by Sun Wukong without blocking him at all; the Primordial Spirit Sect's Sect Master Mu Yin's face showed some loss of composure, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, his figure swiftly charging out from the Primordial Spirit Sect's grand hall in pursuit of Sun Wukong and others.
"Sun Wukong, stay here for me!"
From a distance, Mu Yin threw a punch fiercely aiming at Sun Wukong and others' backs.
This punch was thrown, and all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the Primordial Spirit Sect surged into chaos, countless giant fists appeared amidst the sky, pursuing Sun Wukong and others at high speed, if Sun Wukong and others paused for even a moment, they would instantly be caught by these fists!
"Charge over the Ice Lake!"
The powerful air prohibition over the Ice Lake wasn't absolute for those above the Domain Emperor Realm; those in the higher realms could rely on their own powers to forcibly withstand the prohibition.
The urgency was dire, no time to dawdle, Sun Wukong shouted fiercely, flying swiftly over the Ice Lake without hesitation, his figure unwavering and at full speed.
The same applied to the Heavenly Dao Sect's Great Elder, seeming entirely unaffected by the prohibition's constraints, tightly following Sun Wukong toward the Ice Lake's opposite side. But besides them, others found it not as easy, with several figures swaying violently, nearly plunging into the Ice Lake.
"Roar~!"
A huge roar sounded from the Ice Lake's depths; in the next moment, a massive Thunder Shark burst from the lake's surface, its bloody mouth lunging fiercely for Sun Wukong and others flying above.
"Ah!"
One of the strong experts in the Domain Emperor Realm, unable to dodge, was bitten by the Thunder Shark, screaming in agony as it fell back into the Ice Lake alongside the Thunder Shark, soon blood spreading across the lake surface.
"Hiss~!"
Everyone gasped in shock; except for Sun Wukong, no one expected such a terrifying monster hidden within the Ice Lake!
"Stop dawdling, hurry up and go!"
Sun Wukong urged, the formidable punch attack by the Primordial Spirit Sect's Sect Master Mu Yin had already chased over. In their momentary pause, those flying at the back were instantly caught by the fists.
The sound of rumbling accompanied by screams as blood spattered in the air, with four or five mutilated bodies falling toward the Ice Lake, hastily swallowed by the Thunder Shark and other beasts waiting within the lake.
"Move quickly, we cannot linger here!"
The Heavenly Dao Sect's Great Elder's complexion shifted as well; within moments, except for him and Sun Wukong, only two early-stage Domain Saint Realm experts remained; the others all perished within the Ice Lake.
This Primordial Spirit Sect is simply a den of demons!
"Heavenly Dao Great Wheel, go!"
The giant fist phantoms behind still relentlessly in pursuit, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect gritted his teeth, turned to unleash a vast wheel, suddenly enlarging, blocking toward the incoming giant fist phantoms.
