128: Chapter 128: Overbearing 128: Chapter 128: Overbearing Mighty mana surged, climbing to an astonishing level in an instant.

At the same time, an astounding force struck over.

Qiong Qi felt that if he didn’t release the Ox Demon King, he too would be heavily injured, or even killed by the opponent’s attack.

As a sinister and cunning creature, Qiong Qi naturally wouldn’t risk his life in exchange for the Ox Demon King’s.

Although somewhat frustrated, he still dodged the attack and gave up on his plan to kill the Ox Demon King.

Sun Wukong swung his staff with all his might.

However, Qiong Qi managed to dodge it.

Sun Wukong’s strike evaporated so much seawater that it was incalculable.

Qiong Qi’s expression changed slightly, as he fixed his gaze on Sun Wukong, guessing his identity.

“Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong, truly as formidable as the legends say.

You are indeed the first great saint of the future generations of the Demon Clan.

The Ox Demon King is nothing compared to you.”

Qiong Qi said with a faint smile, lavishing praise on Sun Wukong while looking at the Ox Demon King with utter contempt.

Sun Wukong stared coldly at him and sneered, “People say that Qiong Qi is a petty character, adept at beguiling the hearts of others, and they are absolutely right.”

The Ox Demon King transformed back into human form and took a deep breath before laughing, “Little brother’s arrival is timely.

I was nearly killed by this treacherous creature, thankfully, you arrived just in time.”

“What about Little Sweetie?”

Sun Wukong asked.

He only saw the Ox Demon King here and did not see the Iron Fan Immortal, which made Sun Wukong somewhat worried.

The Ox Demon King’s face darkened with the joke about his wife.

He glared at Sun Wukong before finally saying, “She’s fine, I’ve hidden her away.

Even if Roc Demon King himself came, he wouldn’t be able to find her.”

Sun Wukong then truly sighed with relief.

He said to the Ox Demon King, “Big brother, congratulations on becoming a Heavenly Venerate.”

The Ox Demon King laughed heartily.

Despite being covered in wounds, his heroic bearing could not be concealed.

“Haven’t you also made a breakthrough?

Let’s share in this joy together.”

Qiong Qi was somewhat annoyed.

The two of them were chatting there, completely ignoring his presence.

Did they even consider him, an ancient fierce beast, in their eyes?

The Nine-tailed Fox and the others also arrived, surrounding Sun Wukong and the Ox Demon King.

“Big brother, can you still fight?”

Sun Wukong inquired.

The Ox Demon King laughed arrogantly, saying, “Why not?

Today, you and I will join forces in battle and unleash chaos under the heavens.”

Sun Wukong laughed proudly and said, “Big brother, you jest.

Such minor mountain spirits and goblins.

I don’t even take them seriously.

Ao Shun, you don’t need to marshal the troops for battle; these few old demons are something I can handle.”

Tens of thousands of troops appeared not far away, causing a shock to Qiong Qi and the others.

The leader of these Sea Tribe armies was none other than Ao Shun.

Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, he said with a smile, “I shall follow the Great Saint’s instructions and not engage in the battle, only providing support from the side.”

The Ox Demon King was somewhat depressed.

He had some connection with the North Sea Dragon King.

But there he was, about to be killed, and Ao Shun hadn’t shown any intention of intervening.

However, the moment Sun Wukong arrived, Ao Shun immediately mustered the troops.

This differential treatment made him quite troubled.

“North Sea Dragon King, I, old Ox, was nearly killed just now, and I didn’t see you lift a finger.

Aren’t you being too much of a fair-weather friend?”

The Ox Demon King complained discontentedly.

The North Sea Dragon King glanced at him and said indifferently, “You are different from the Great Saint.”

“How are we different?”

The Ox Demon King’s eyes widened with dissatisfaction.

“Our friendship is not that deep.”

Ao Shun said expressionlessly.

The Ox Demon King almost spat blood.

He really wanted to curse, damn it, these so-called friends are no help when it really matters.

Ao Shun would rather watch him get killed than offer his help.

He sighed deeply and in the end said nothing, feeling a pang of betrayal.

He decided to distance himself from these fair-weather friends in the future.

During feasts, everyone seems to be on good terms, but when trouble arises, not one of them is there to help.

“Are you done with your nonsense?”

Qiong Qi spoke impatiently.

Knowing that Ao Shun would not intervene, he too breathed a sigh of relief.

Engaging with the North Sea would have been daunting for him.

As a supreme demon who survived from ancient times, he was well aware of how formidable the Dragon Clan could be.

If Ao Shun decided to help Sun Wukong and his allies, Qiong Qi would turn around and leave without a second thought, without any hesitation.

“Who gave you the right to speak?”

Sun Wukong’s eyes hardened, and he swung his staff mightily again.

Qiong Qi’s wings slashed down like heavenly swords, blocking the strike.

But he was pushed back, looking at Sun Wukong with changed eyes.

There was both shock and anger.

Even during the God Era, ruled by the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Emperor Jun, no one dared to disrespect a formidable ancient fierce beast like him.

Even if Qiong Qi wasn’t a Great Heavenly Venerate, he was still one of the most powerful mythical beasts between heaven and earth.

Normal Great Heavenly Venerates couldn’t possibly subdue him.

Sun Wukong’s disrespect irritated Qiong Qi greatly.

“Elder Qiong Qi, please make your move and kill this Husun,” said Roc Demon King from the side.

However, Qiong Qi turned around and swatted Roc Demon King away with one wing.

“Do I need your orders?”

Qiong Qi asked coldly, nearly causing the Roc Demon King to suffocate with anger.

The Roc Demon King was well aware that Qiong Qi was venting his anger on him after being humiliated by Sun Wukong.

“Of course not.”

Roc Demon King said through gritted teeth.

With a disdainful roll of his eyes, Qiong Qi sneered and said, “Trash.”

The Roc Demon King’s teeth were practically grinding to dust, he was desperate to make a move and teach Qiong Qi a lesson, but he was also well aware that he was likely no match for Qiong Qi.

If they really went head to head, he would be utterly defeated.

This also goes to show just how formidable Sun Wukong’s strength was at this moment.

Just now, even Qiong Qi had been forced to retreat by his single strike.

Qiong Qi, staring at Sun Wukong, said coldly, “Born of heaven and earth, an Innate Spirit, if I devour you, I will definitely break my shackles and ascend to Great Heavenly Venerate, and even aim for immortality.

Today, I must kill you.”

There was a flame burning in his eyes, a flame of determination to kill Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong gave a fierce snicker, making the first move.

Having ascended to Heavenly Venerate, this was the first time he revealed his full strength.

Boom.

The Jingu Bang shone with dazzling Immortal Light, illuminating the Vault of Heaven, The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth resounded in unison, summoned forth.

All the momentum of heaven and earth harmonized with that single strike, and with immense Mana, it thundered down.

In that moment, to the Demon Clan, it seemed as if the Heaven Pillar were toppling down upon them.

An immense pressure enveloped their bodies, causing their faces to drastically change color.

Qiong Qi let out a cold huff, his wings stretched out, connecting heaven to earth, reaching up to the Nine Heavens and down to the Nine Netherworlds.

Boundless Magical Power surged out from Qiong Qi, all focusing on his wings.

The next moment, Qiong Qi roared, his wings transformed into Heavenly Swords, fiercely slicing out.

The entire world seemed to be bisected by Qiong Qi’s wings, leaving two terrifying scars in the sky, as if heralding the apocalypse.

Boom.

The Jingu Bang collided with Qiong Qi’s wings.

Blinding light erupted, accompanied by powerful fluctuations of Mana, sending the strong ones present flying away.

Even the mighty Heavenly Venerates couldn’t stand their ground nearby Sun Wukong and Qiong Qi.

The Roc Demon King’s face showed terror, was this the true power of Sun Wukong after his ascension to Heavenly Venerate?

So powerful, even if his master faced him, where would the chance of victory lie?

Jealousy burnt within him.

How come this monkey was such a Demon Fiend?

The Ox Demon King was also sent flying, he swallowed gulp after gulp of saliva.

Both were Heavenly Venerates, but the gap seemed a bit too much, didn’t it?

However, he also noticed that in the exchange of blows with Qiong Qi just now, Qiong Qi hadn’t gone all out.

Otherwise, he would have already been overwhelmed.

Sun Wukong and Qiong Qi both retreated, facing each other, they could see the endless fighting spirit in each other’s eyes.

“Not bad, truly worthy of an Innate Spirit, I’m even more eager to devour you now.”

Qiong Qi laughed wickedly.

Sun Wukong let out a cold snort, then suddenly shouted over Qiong Qi’s shoulder, “Big brother, make your move!”

Qiong Qi turned around abruptly, only to find nothing behind him.

At that moment, Sun Wukong instantly charged forward.

The Jingu Bang went thundering towards him, and Qiong Qi could only block it with his claws.

Clang.

A huge sound rang out, followed by a pained scream, as Qiong Qi’s body was sent flying by Sun Wukong’s staff, barely managing to stabilize himself in mid-air, his claw trembling violently.

Qiong Qi morphed into a human form, appearing as a middle-aged man, with a pair of wings still on his back, not yet dispelled.

A ray of light flashed in his hand, and a war spear appeared.

“What are you all looking at?

Why aren’t you helping?” Qiong Qi called out discontentedly to the Nine-tailed Fox and the others.

The Nine-tailed Fox and the rest hurriedly rushed over.

Having witnessed Sun Wukong’s prowess, they all knew that they were no match for him alone.

Now, they could only rely on their numerical advantage to quell Sun Wukong.

“Where’s your master?

Why hasn’t he shown up yet?” Qiong Qi inquired.

Sun Wukong’s heart jolted, so Kunpeng was also planning to intervene?

This was beyond his expectations, he originally thought it was just the people in front of him.

Now it seemed, he had underestimated Kunpeng’s determination to kill him.

The Roc Demon King furrowed his brow, shook his head, and said, “I do not know, but since the master said he would come, he will definitely appear.

If he hasn’t, there must be his reasons.”

“That bastard Kunpeng has never been reliable,” Qiong Qi cursed, unabashedly.

He had been summoned by Kunpeng, who had mentioned a chance for a breakthrough that he wanted to offer him.

Qiong Qi was immediately tempted; becoming Great Heavenly Venerate was a longstanding goal for him.

If he could devour an Innate Being and use a trace of its Innate Spirituality, becoming Great Heavenly Venerate would be a natural outcome.

After all, Qiong Qi’s cultivation was already sufficient.

Who could have expected that Sun Wukong would be so formidable?

To personally make a move and yet not be confident of victory, requiring others to join forces with him.

And Sun Wukong vaguely sensed that Zhenyuan’s Dao Rhyme was erupting in a far-off place.

Immediately, he understood, it wasn’t that Kunpeng wasn’t willing to come, Zhenyuan must’ve intervened upon detecting their battle, stopping Kunpeng in his tracks.

Their battle was now raging fiercely.

“If we join forces, we can still take down this monkey,” Yazi said coldly.

“Let’s make our move,” the Mysterious Turtle also spoke, his eyes filled with a chilling determination.

“Thinking of ganging up on my brother without asking me first?” the Ox Demon King charged in, taking his place beside Sun Wukong.

Smiling at each other, they were ready for a thrilling fight today.
