Great Demon Sun Wukong

Thus, it took Sun Wukong only three minutes to wake up. The Qingyi Man too had collected the Azure Great Clock at the first opportunity, using it to withstand the terrifying Strange Fire of the Fire God Zhurong. The Qingyi Man, who was initially at a slight disadvantage, became empowered as if a tiger had grown wings upon obtaining the Azure Great Clock.

He didn’t just fully defend against Zhurong’s sky-filling Strange Fire, even the Heavenly Fire Divine Whip could not damage the great clock in the slightest.

And the moment Sun Wukong left the great clock, he saw Zhurong controlling countless flames, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

If Zhurong knew that his Fire Divine Hall had been emptied by the Fire Attribute Divine Stone that Wukong had fused with, and that out of the seventy-two Strange Fires, he had only fused with nine, with the rest returning to the world, Wukong wondered if Zhurong would go mad.

It was said that the Ancestral Witch Zhurong cherished fire as his life, and his battle with the Water Deity Gonggong seemed to have been for the sole Strange Fire in the world that incorporated both water and fire.

However, what Sun Wukong paid more attention to wasn’t Zhurong or the Qingyi Man with his peculiar clock, but the Six-Eared Macaque at this moment. The Six-Eared Macaque knew that if he didn’t go all out, he might not have a life to gamble with in the future.

Therefore, besides having two Divine Dragons for protection, he did not defend at all, instead gathering all his spiritual power for the final strike, which made the Six-Eared Macaque’s defense extremely weak.

In front of the three Ancestral Witches, abandoning defense was akin to seeking death. Sun Wukong’s fiery golden eyes opened, and with his eyes that could see through the profound and distant, he could tell in an instant that if the Six-Eared Macaque did not dodge the next moment, he would definitely die.

It has to be said just how magical the fiery golden eyes at the profound and distant realm were. Not only could they see through the opponent’s spiritual power operation and movements, but they could also predict what would happen in the next moment based on the surrounding environment, situation, and some special factors. This was practically the ability to see through time.

However, as this was Sun Wukong’s first time reaching this realm, he could only use his eyesight to analyze the enemy’s possible next move. Therefore, he could see that the three Ancestral Witches were about to combine their strikes, and based on his understanding of the Six-Eared Macaque, he knew it would be impossible for him to dodge this attack.

Without hesitation, Sun Wukong summoned the Jingu Bang and instantly turned it as thin as a strand of hair. With a wave of his hand, the Jingu Bang instantly appeared beside the Six-Eared Macaque, and then Sun Wukong controlled the Jingu Bang with his Divine Sense to open the World Within the Artifact and envelop the Six-Eared Macaque within it.

At that moment, the three Ancestral Witches made their move without any signs—Hou Yi raised his hand to draw the bow, launching the Sun Shooting Divine Arrow with an unmatched momentum towards where the Six-Eared Macaque had just vanished, and almost simultaneously, the Taomu wooden staff of Kuafu was swung with a swath of starlight from another direction.

Lastly, a jet-black Divine Thunder, arriving even faster than Hou Yi’s Sun Shooting Divine Arrow, struck down.

Yet, these three tremendously powerful attacks all hit empty air. The Sect Hierarch Tongtian, from a distance, couldn’t help but be slightly surprised; with his cultivation, even though the Jingu Bang had become as thin as a strand of hair, it could not escape Tongtian’s Divine Sense detection.

However, he had not expected the Jingu Bang to suddenly create a space and take the Six-Eared Macaque into it before escaping at an even faster speed.

With a cold snort, he then commanded Di Jiang to ambush Sun Wukong, while the Hou Yi Divine Bow continued to fire, shooting the Sun Shooting Divine Arrows at Sun Wukong like a string of pearls. Just after retrieving the Jingu Bang, before Wukong could even warn the Six-Eared Macaque, the Ancestral Witch Di Jiang had already appeared.

With his mere inches staff sweeping out, Sun Wukong had no choice but to fall. Fighting against Di Jiang in mid-air was not arrogance but folly. As he fell, Sun Wukong caught a glimpse with the corner of his eye, startling him. Not only were nine Sun Shooting Divine Arrows chasing him, the other Ancestral Witches beside the Sect Hierarch Tongtian were all aiming their attacks at Sun Wukong.

The Broken Jade Hook of the Water Deity Gonggong drew a trail of azure light, a crescent-shaped turquoise water stream shooting toward him; the War God Xing Tian, with the Gan Qi Divine Axe in hand, made a cut through the void from the left side, a giant axe shadow approaching; the Qiuyi God Lu Xiu shook his Heavenly Chime, and a dark hole appeared below Sun Wukong instantly.

As soon as the dark hole formed, an immense suction force was felt. Was Lu Xiu able to connect to the void beyond the heavens and summon an endless black hole?

There was no time to look at the other Ancestral Witches. At that instant, Sun Wukong fell into a desperate situation. Behind him were the Sun Shooting Divine Arrows; to his left was the Gan Qi Divine Axe; the azure water stream was on the right, and a huge suction force was coming from below. Above, Emperor Di Jiang was aiming his mere inches staff at Sun Wukong’s head.

To continue forward? Looking up, Sun Wukong completely abandoned the thought of dodging. For ahead, the huge Qiankun Bag was already waiting for him to fall into the trap. What to do? There was no escaping now, and Sun Wukong was not confident enough to withstand these attacks.

These weren’t just any Ancestral Witches; they were all as strong as himself, and almost all of them were wielding infamous Divine Artifacts in battle. Even if he could withstand an attack from one direction, he would certainly be injured, and he would definitely not be able to dodge the remaining attacks the next moment.

In the span of that thought, all the attacks had arrived in front of him, the lethal aura from the Sun Shooting Divine Arrows and the Gan Qi Divine Axe even tangible. Gritting his teeth, Sun Wukong no longer hesitated. With a thought, a crack opened in the space before him, and he turned into a streak of light and dove in.

At that exact moment, Emperor Di Jiang, who had been motionless above, also vanished simultaneously.

Another cold snort from the Sect Hierarch Tongtian, who had no effective means against Sun Wukong’s almost rogue tactic. Although Tongtian was powerful, he had not reached the level where he could wantonly break open another’s World Within the Artifact.

Unless one had the power to destroy the Divine Artifact, it might be possible to annihilate that world as well while the World Within the Artifact was opening. However, clearly, Tongtian did not have that ability. Nonetheless, Tongtian was not too concerned, because at the last moment, he had already instructed Emperor Di Jiang to enter that space by folding it.

As long as Di Jiang entered, and then broke a point in that space, he would be able to command the rest of the Ancestral Witches to swarm in and destroy that space.

"Hehehe, now you’re left on your own. Hahaha,"

"Master Tongtian, don’t be so smug,"

"Hahaha, why do you bother? Without your true body, what big waves can you, a mere artifact spirit, possibly stir up? If your true form were still intact, perhaps I might have feared you a little. But now, haha, I can extinguish you in the snap of my fingers,"

"Hmph, you’re celebrating too early. The Taoist sect may have committed many misdeeds, but the ultimate victor of this calamity will belong to the Demon Clan,"

"The Demon Clan? With merely these few weaklings left? Chaos Clock, if your master were still alive, if you had found your true form, then indeed, this calamity might have ended in victory for your Demon Clan. But now, there are no ’ifs.’ How mighty was Donghuang Taiyi with the Chaos Clock in hand? My Taoist Sect didn’t have a single general who could match him. What was the result, though?

Even the great Donghuang Taiyi, even the mighty Demon Emperor Di Jun, weren’t they all destroyed by the Heavenly Dao? And wasn’t the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Clock, shattered to its core, leaving only its artifact spirit to narrowly escape?"

"Remember, you cannot defy the Heavenly Dao. Haha, this Heavenly Dao, it favours us,"

After Master Tongtian finished speaking, as if he had released a long-hidden spite in his heart. However, the person in the green robe, or more accurately, the artifact spirit of the Chaos Clock, remained silent, shrouded in gloom. Master Tongtian was right, no matter how strong one was, they couldn’t overpower the Heavenly Dao.

Although Nuwa had once unified herself with the Dao for the sake of the Demon Clan, she was still unable to overturn the bias the Heavenly Dao held for the Taoist Sect—just because of that Hongjun, the one second only to Pangu the Great God, Hongjun.

Had it not been for him, the very first to achieve Unity Dao, and with his supreme will influencing the operation of Heavenly Dao, how could the Taoist Sect be so rampant? One could even say that without this bias of Heavenly Dao, the Taoist Sect would never have risen.

Was it not for the Heavenly Dao incarnate that, under trumped-up charges, eradicated countless great demons including the two imperial leaders of our Demon Clan? How could this Heaven have fallen to their Taoist Sect?

It’s intolerable, utterly intolerable! Oh, Great Nuwa, we refuse to submit!

But, however intolerable we feel within, reality remains reality. And the current reality is that Sun Wukong and Six-Eared Macaque have been forced into hiding within the world inside Jingu Bang, Zhu Long is preoccupied by Chang’er’s entanglement, unable to create a doppelganger, while Kunpeng is engaged in a fierce battle with the Heavenly Venerate of the Primordial Beginning beyond the heavens.

The artifact spirit of the Chaos Clock, on the other hand, has to face the mighty Twelve Ancestral Witches alone. With more likelihood of peril than fortune in this battle, or to put it more accurately, it is a fight with slim chances of survival.

Knowing that it was impossible to prevail over the joint forces of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the person in the green robe simply stopped counterattacking. Seated cross-legged on the ground, he encapsulated himself with the Bronze Bell. All his spiritual power was now crazily poured into the Bronze Bell—not to harm the enemy, but to protect himself.

He believed in Six-Eared Macaque, he believed in Sun Wukong, and he believed in the Child of Hope chosen by Great Nuwa herself. He couldn’t possibly fail.

"Hmph, you think you’re safe inside the Chaos Clock? Moreover, it’s just an imitation of a Supreme Divine Artifact, made from a few fragments of the Chaos Clock,"

With a disdainful snort, Master Tongtian then directed Hou Yi and Thunder God to move forward. In the Thunder God’s hands, the Thunder God Hammer continually fired black ink-like or harrowing white beams of lightning, while Hou Yi shot the Nine Extreme Sun-Shooting Divine Arrows in succession, unceasingly attacking the Azure Great Clock.

Even though they could not breach it for the moment, Master Tongtian was not in a hurry. His aim wasn’t to destroy the artifact spirit of the Chaos Clock but to force out Sun Wukong and Six-Eared Macaque. Even if he destroyed the Chaos Clock, but Sun Wukong continued to hide inside without coming out, it would all be futile.

He didn’t summon the Twelve Ancestral Witches at great expense just to extinguish a mere damaged artifact spirit.

As expected. Just as the Azure Great Clock was densely cracked and about to shatter, suddenly, the space behind Master Tongtian split open. Sensing the spatial fluctuation, a surge of joy rose in Master Tongtian’s heart.

But just as he began to turn around, he saw that what emerged from the spatial rift was neither Sun Wukong nor Six-Eared Macaque but the severely wounded Ancestral Witch, the space-progenitor Di Jiang.

Suddenly developing a sense of crisis, Master Tongtian, without even turning his head back, hastily commanded the Ancestral Witch Hou Tu to surround himself with ninety-nine layers of defense using the Nine Heavens Soil. Then, Master Tongtian felt a powerful shockwave assault him, sending him tumbling head over heels several times.
