Chapter 97 Chapter 90 Battle!
Chang’er’s speed was so terrifying? Even Sun Wukong’s fiery golden eyes couldn’t capture her movements. But it was in that instant he almost lost his life.
"Stop!" A loud shout came from Zhu Long, Zhu Jiuyin, who quickly moved to stand behind Sun Wukong, his dragon claws tightly clutching the white silk ribbon. Had Zhu Long been a moment later, Sun Wukong would have undoubtedly lost his head.
Even with his diamond indestructible body that did not fear any blade or axe, the white silk ribbon was no ordinary object and not even Sun Wukong’s flesh could withstand it.
After being startled by Zhu Long’s shout, Sun Wukong gathered his wits, still shocked by Chang’er’s terrifying speed, yet not daring to hesitate a moment longer. He flipped his wrist, and the Jingu Bang rose from below, piercing through the white silk ribbon. Then, with a tug on the Jingu Bang and a pull from Zhu Long’s arms, they finally managed to tear the ribbon apart.
In a few flashes, Sun Wukong appeared next to Kunpeng, his face marked with lingering fear. Meanwhile, Chang’er was already battling with Zhu Long; while she wanted to kill Sun Wukong directly, Zhu Long watched her like a hawk. Chang’er knew that if she didn’t deal with Zhu Long, it would be hard to harm Sun Wukong.
"Sanqing, if not now then when will you act?" Chang’er called out sharply, no longer distracted, focusing solely on her combat with Zhu Long. Zhu Long then realized the true extent of Chang’er’s frightening power. The more serious she got, the greater the pressure on him.
Fearful of being defeated by a lapse of concentration, Zhu Long transformed into a giant red dragon a hundred meters in length amidst his roaring anger.
Chang’er, apparently giving up on Sun Wukong for the moment, followed Zhu Long into the Nine Heavens, where dragon roars and her sharp cries echoed back and forth.
"Kunpeng, let this old man see today, after a million years, whether you have made any progress," Yuan Shi Tianzun said, observing Chang’er locked in fierce battle with Zhu Long. Knowing there was not much to be said to the others, he chose to confront the strongest person on the field, Kunpeng. At the same time, he whispered to Master Tongtian and Supreme Elder Lord, "I’ll hold off Kunpeng.
You two quickly dispose of the remaining four, show no mercy, aim to slay them in the shortest time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shi Tianzun pointed his whisk, and a cluster of pure Qi appeared in front of Kunpeng in an instant. Kunpeng, no pushover, dodged the cluster of Qi, then with a flicker in his hands, two whirlwinds rolled towards Yuan Shi Tianzun.
"Kunpeng, if you and your Demon Clan wish to survive today, show some real skill! I’ll be waiting for you in the Beyond the Heavens," said Yuan Shi Tianzun, and with that, he tore apart the space, stepping through and vanishing from the spot.
But at that moment, Kunpeng let out a sly chuckle, then turned and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was not in the Beyond the Heavens but behind Supreme Elder Lord. Amidst Master Tongtian’s raging roars, Kunpeng’s right hand turned into a claw and violently grasped onto the back of Supreme Elder Lord.

Caught off guard, Supreme Elder Lord was injured, but even then it was evident that Supreme Elder Lord’s strength had increased. After being clawed by Kunpeng, he forcefully stopped his forward momentum and with a beckoning motion, he struck back with a Taiji Eight Trigrams Map against Kunpeng right behind him.
However, at this moment, Kunpeng was already laughing heartily while ripping through space, escaping into the Beyond the Heavens. The entire process, while complex to describe, took barely a breath’s time. Yuan Shi Tianzun, who had already entered Beyond the Heavens, didn’t react in time, or perhaps, couldn’t conceive that beings of their level would resort to surprise attacks.
Such actions would be considered a disgrace to a Saint’s name.
So, the instant Kunpeng entered Beyond the Heavens, Yuan Shi Tianzun struck out in anger, launching his strongest attack, the Innate Pure Qi!
Supreme Elder Lord, having been wounded by the claw, wore a face full of rage, so dark one might think it would drip with water. He had intended to seek revenge, never expecting to be seriously injured without even touching Sun Wukong, which was a humiliation!
In furious shouting, Supreme Elder Lord and Master Tongtian both sprang into action. Supreme Elder Lord summoned the Taiji Eight Trigrams Map, which rapidly expanded in the air—circling past Sun Wukong and Six-Eared Macaque, it flew straight towards Mu Jingshi and Meng Gui behind them.
This abrupt move left Mu Jingshi and Meng Gui somewhat bewildered. However, both being Saints in their own rights, they quickly brought forth their strongest defenses. Mu Jingshi grew countless vines from his fingertips, which rapidly interwove into a vine armor shield right in front of him. But it was no ordinary shield; otherwise, Mu Jingshi wouldn’t have used it against a Saint’s attack.
Meng Gui shot a radiant light from his eyes, which shattered the void in an instant, as he stepped into the broken space.
Yet, in the next moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded—the Taiji Eight Trigrams Map radiated an all-encompassing weak light that seemed to breach everything. Neither Mu Jingshi’s vine armor shield nor Meng Gui’s alternate dimension could block it. Thus, with shocked and incredulous expressions, the two were enveloped by the Eight Trigrams Map, disappearing from the scene.
The Supreme Elder Lord then glared fiercely at Sun Wukong and with a pause, vanished into the Eight Trigrams Map, leaving behind a dumbstruck Sun Wukong and Six-Eared Macaque.
"The Taiji Eight Trigrams Map is a supreme treasure born from the innate chaos at the beginning of heaven and earth, with a world within. Whoever controls the Eight Trigrams Map is the supreme god of this world. For your two little friends, the prospects are grim. Finally, it’s my turn to make a move."
The one speaking was Master Tongtian.
However, Zhu Long and Chang’er were in fierce battle above the Nine Heavens, Kunpeng and the primordial Heavenly Venerate had entered Beyond the Heavens, and the Supreme Elder Lord and Meng Gui Mu Jingshi had entered the Eight Trigrams World. Thus, only Master Tongtian, Sun Wukong, and the Six-Eared Macaque were left on the battlefield.
Moreover, judging from Master Tongtian’s demeanor, could this have been part of their plan?
"Hmph, so what? Once we slain you, going to aid the others will be no trouble!"
"Hahaha, Sun Wukong, oh Sun Wukong, this time, you have no chance. Do you know why I was left to deal with you instead of the Supreme Elder Lord, who bears the greatest grudge against you, or your master, the primordial Heavenly Venerate, the strongest of all? Or even Chang’er, the incarnation of Heavenly Dao? You don’t know yet, do you?
Tsk tsk, you are the second individual that Heavenly Dao has personally annihilated in these tens of millions of years. Haha."
As Master Tongtian’s wild laughter echoed, waves of Demonic Qi began to emanate from his body. Yes, it was not Immortal Qi or Demon Qi, but Demonic Qi.
But demons, these special beings, have been gone for tens of thousands of years, and from the dawn of heaven and earth to now, there have only been thirteen beings called demons. The first demon in the world was the Demon King Chi You, who once fought a great battle against the Flame Emperor and the Yellow Emperor.
However, after Chi You was defeated, the Yellow Emperor killed and dismembered him into twelve pieces, which still lived and escaped amidst the overwhelming Demonic Qi.
These pieces later cultivated into the Twelve Ancestral Witches, possessing Chi You’s supreme Demonic Blood and naturally having an extremely powerful physical body. Moreover, all twelve Ancestral Witches were naturally saints at their peak.
Gonggong wielded the Broken Jade Hook; Zhurong brandished the Heavenly Fire Divine Whip; Xing Tian swung the Gan Qi Divine Axe; Di Jiang held the Peach Wood Divine Staff; Hou Yi carried the Sky-Shocking Divine Bow, Sun Shooting Divine Arrows; Kuafu possessed the Peach Wood Divine Staff; the Thunder God held the Thunder God Hammer; Ruci bore the Heavenly Net; Ju Mang wielded Earth’s Net; Xuan Ming held the Xuan Ming Bone Arrows; Hou Tu had the Nine Heavens Soil; the Wind Master and Rain Master held the Qiankun Bag, the Favorable Wind Flag.
These twelve were the Twelve Ancestral Witches, each a peak saint.
And now, these Twelve Ancestral Witches stood in front of Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque. Yes, there was no mistake in seeing or hearing, after the immense Demonic Qi dispersed from Master Tongtian, what appeared were twelve heads of the Ancestral Witches, each over ten meters tall!
"Let me tell you, it’s because I, Master Tongtian, control the God-Shattering Formation of the Twelve Supernatural Beasts, and I have the Twelve Ancestral Witches as the Formation Eyes, that they all avoid me."
Sun Wukong, today, you will die. Read latest chapters at empire
As soon as the words fell, Master Tongtian waved both hands, and twelve pitch-black flags appeared in his hands.
One of the flags, bearing the name Di Jiang, suddenly moved out of formation, aiming directly at Sun Wukong. At the same time, Di Jiang, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, had already appeared before Sun Wukong.
"Hahaha, with the Twelve Ancestral Witches in hand, who in the world can defeat me? Hahaha."
