Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

In the depths of the Chaos Void, within Demon Emperor Qiong Yu's palace.

"Such a powerful surge of energy, could it be that Pangu has already recovered and emerged?"

Demon Emperor Qiong Yu, who was in the midst of healing in seclusion, opened his eyes and looked toward the direction from which the energy fluctuations were coming. He furrowed his brows, and in the next moment, his figure vanished abruptly, leaving the palace to hurry towards the source of the energy waves.

In the battlefield of the Chaos Starry Sky.

The enormous shadow of the hammer and the staff finally dissipated, revealing the figures of Sun Wukong and the First Demon God Kun Yuan.

The First Demon God Kun Yuan's body was half-shattered; he had suffered severe injuries from the strike and could barely maintain his physical form. Were it not for being in the Chaos Void, where the Chaos Qi continuously surged around to mend his injured body, barely keeping him alive, he might have already fallen.

"Did that damned brat die?"

The reason the First Demon God Kun Yuan was struggling not to leave was that he wanted to see Sun Wukong's fate. In their clash of ultimate moves, both had unleashed their full strength. The First Demon God Kun Yuan himself was on the brink of death from severe injuries, and he believed that Sun Wukong couldn't possibly be in any better condition!

Even if he wasn't dead, he couldn't be far from it!

"Even if you aren't dead, I will finish you off with another blow... What?"

Golden light emerged from the dispersing flames, and the eyes of the First Demon God Kun Yuan bulged in shock. What did he see?

An ancient bell, radiating bursts of golden light, appeared in the Void, enveloping Sun Wukong within, shielding him tightly. Chaos Qi diffused over the bell, with various Taoist symbols flickering in and out of sight.

The terrifying destructive force from their clash of ultimate moves had been completely blocked by the bell; Sun Wukong inside had not been harmed in the slightest!

"This is impossible! I don't believe it, this can't be possible!"

The First Demon God Kun Yuan was nearly driven mad. That was his all-out attack, and yet Sun Wukong was completely unscathed! What kind of treasure was that bell?

"Escape, I must escape! If I don't escape, I'll lose my life!"

If the First Demon God Kun Yuan hadn't rushed to collide their ultimate moves with all his might, he would have been confident in slowly wearing down Sun Wukong. After all, his Cultivation and mastery of the Great Dao Laws were much stronger than Sun Wukong's, and being in the Chaos Void, he could always replenish his expenditure by absorbing Chaos Qi. But he had been too hasty!

The moment he saw Sun Wukong reveal seven Great Dao, he grew impatient, not only launching his ultimate move but also attacking directly without fully charging up. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so gravely injured in the explosion of their ultimate moves.

The First Demon God Kun Yuan, now with half his body nearly destroyed, would need at least the time it takes to burn half an incense stick to recover, even with the restorative power of Chaos Qi. In that half-incense time, he would be like a lamb to the slaughter, only able to exert three or four tenths of his full Combat Power at best!

Under such circumstances, how could he continue to fight against Sun Wukong, who was almost completely unharmed under the protection of the Chaos Clock?

Not to flee was to die!

Suppressing his injuries with all his might, the First Demon God Kun Yuan turned into a streak of light and fled into the depths of the Chaos Void. There lay Demon Emperor Qiong Yu's palace, and once he reached it, he would be safe!

Sun Wukong's Combat Power, no matter how abnormal, couldn't possibly be a match for the Demon Emperor before breaking through to the Demon God Realm!

"Running away again?"

The Chaos Clock shrank and drilled into Sun Wukong's body. Seeing the First Demon God, Kun Yuan, fleeing, Wukong did not hesitate to chase after him. The strength of this First Demon God, Kun Yuan, was truly extraordinary. Had it not been for the protection of the Chaos Clock, he feared his condition would not be any better than that of Kun Yuan!

Such an enemy must, of course, be eliminated at the first opportunity. He absolutely could not be allowed to escape!

The collision of ultimate moves just now enabled Wukong to gain a higher understanding and application of the Great Dao Laws. His Battle Qi had accumulated significantly, and he could see that he had reached a critical threshold. All he needed was an opportunity, a chance to unleash his potential, and he would be able to break through his current limits, to vindicate his strength through the Dao!

"He's catching up! How can Sun Wukong be so fast? Faster than me!"

The fleeing First Demon God, Kun Yuan, sensed the presence coming from behind. Looking back, he almost lost his soul in fright. Wukong had transformed into a streak of light, incessantly flashing, moving much faster than him. At this rate, he would be caught up to in less than the time it took an incense stick to burn halfway!

While fleeing with all his might, Kun Yuan's recovery speed was greatly reduced. Half an incense stick's time was simply not enough for him to recover, and once caught, his fate might be the same as the Third Devil God Ju Lo and the Second Demon God Kan Xiong, completely annihilated!

"Demon Emperor, save me! Demon Emperor, save me!"

The First Demon God, Kun Yuan, started shouting. After such an intense energy collision, he could not believe the Demon Emperor Qiong Yu would not have felt it. As long as the Demon Emperor was aware, he definitely would not stand by idly!

"Asking the Demon Emperor for help?"

Sun Wukong had already caught up not far behind the First Demon God, Kun Yuan. Hearing Kun Yuan's pleas for help, his pupils contracted, and a cold murderous intent flashed through his eyes, "Even if the King of Heaven himself were here, he couldn't save you! Today is your day to die! Take this!"

Swinging the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, Wukong struck fiercely at Kun Yuan with a distant attack. A shadow of the rod flew out, slamming into Kun Yuan's back.

"Crack!"

Already heavily injured, Kun Yuan was trying to heal while running for his life. He had no way to dodge Wukong's rod. He was hit squarely by the rod's shadow, screamed miserably, and tumbled away.

Whoosh!

Wukong pursued, blocking the way in front of the tumbling Kun Yuan. He reached out with his hand and grabbed at Kun Yuan, whose form suddenly shrank, and he was caught in Wukong's palm and imprisoned.

"First Demon God, where do you think you're going?"

Wukong, looking at the imprisoned First Demon God, Kun Yuan in his palm, scoffed contemptuously. Just as he was about to say something more, suddenly, he felt a jolt and his body rapidly turned into a smoky state.

"Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations, White Cloud Smoke!"

Whoosh!

A streak of light shot from the depths of the starry sky, instantly piercing through Sun Wukong's body. The attack was unbelievably fast. Had it not been for Wukong's use of the Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations White Cloud Smoke, he would have suffered severe injuries!

"Who is launching a surprise attack from the shadows? Dare you show yourself?"

His body reverted to its original form, Wukong grabbed back the First Demon God, Kun Yuan, who had attempted to escape while Wukong evaded the attack with the Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations White Cloud Smoke, and held him tightly in his palm once more.

"Not bad, not bad! To think you could evade my strike! Boy, you've got some skills!"

A light chuckle came through, and the figure of the Demon Emperor Qiong Yu appeared at the far end of the starry sky, closing the distance with a few flashes to stand before him.
