Chapter 329: Chapter 279 Thunder and Misfortune_2

Out of caution, he first opened the seventh-tier treasure chest.

[You have opened the seventh-tier treasure chest, congratulations on obtaining Law Comprehension of Formation Paths (ninefold), Dao of Artifacts Comprehension (ninefold), Five Elements Law Comprehension (sevenfold), Sun Law Comprehension (fourfold), Moon Law Comprehension (fourfold)]

"It seems my misfortune has faded," Sun Wukong laughed again.

The treasures obtained from this seventh-tier chest were all Law Comprehensions.

Among them, the Five Elements Law was something he had comprehended incidentally while deducing the True God realm of martial arts and the Immortal God realm, and now he had also elevated it to the sevenfold realm.

The Sun and Moon Laws, both obtained through cultivation and comprehension from the Sun Divine Seal and the Moon Divine Seal acquired from earlier chests, were still quite low-level, not much help to his strength.

He then proceeded to open another chest.

[You have opened an eighth-tier treasure chest, congratulations on obtaining physical cultivation (peak Golden Immortal), mana cultivation (peak Golden Immortal), Staff Law Comprehension (tenfold), Archery Law Comprehension (tenfold), and the Great Yan Sutra]

Following this, vast amounts of mana cultivation and Law Comprehension flooded into his body and Primordial Spirit.

To Sun Wukong’s delight, his cultivation had made a breakthrough, finally reaching the peak of Golden Immortal!

Accordingly, his strength had also undergone a tremendous increase.

Previously, he had already surpassed ancients like Houtu, Zhen Yuanzi, Ancestor Ming He, standing at the pinnacle of Quasi-Saints.

But that wasn’t his peak, for the limitations of a Law Quasi-Saint far exceed those of Quasi-Saints of the Three Corpses or Merit!

"Hmm, my current strength mustn’t be far from the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, right?" Sun Wukong thought joyfully to himself, then proceeded to check another reward.

This was a very simple scripture, composed of just over a hundred characters.

But the information in his mind indicated that this was a supreme scripture originating from the Great Path!

"Need to properly comprehend this," he decided.

Although he couldn’t understand it, Sun Wukong also knew that this scripture was definitely not simple.

...

With the passage of time, the competition between the Great Han and Tianzhu Country for the fortunes of the human path also came to a critical moment.

Since the last time the Great Han took down Lion Camel Ridge, the four armies of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Lu Bu had been transferred directly to the front line through the teleportation formation, then surrounded the Lion Camel Country.

Eventually, after several battles, a million demons assembled in Lion Camel Country surrendered en masse.

The Han army did not slaughter wantonly, which earned the admiration of all parties in the Three Realms, clearly a righteous army.

Since all spirits belong to the human path, too much killing would undoubtedly be detrimental to the human path.

While numerous Demon Gods harbored desires for chaos in the Three Realms, the Han army continued its westward advance, conquering Biku Country, Eradicating Law Country, and marching toward Fengxian County of Tianzhu Country.

On the other side, Tianzhu had already mobilized its national strength, setting up a new defensive line in the area of Hidden Mist Mountain, manned by a large number of powerhouses, clearly intending to make a final stand there against the Great Han.

In front of Hidden Mist Mountain, the Han army formed neat ranks, displaying a majestic aura.

Commanded by the likes of Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Sun Ce, each of the Great Han generals exuded surging Qi-Blood and an eager will to fight.

Additionally, many warriors of the Dragon Race transformed into dragons, coiling sinuously in the sky.

Moreover, the Demon Kings like the Ox Demon King and the Flood Dragon Demon King and the six great saints of the Demon Realm, who later pledged fealty, along with the Rhino Spirit of Xuan Ying Cave and countless other Totemic Demons, were also at the front lines.

Apart from them, nearly a hundred Demon Gods led by Wang Shu and Lei Zhenzi, as well as the Mighty Martial Emperor, Tai Bai Jin Xing, Yang Jian, Ne Zha, Tian Peng, and other powerhouses of the Heavenly Court, were stationed in the rear.

At this moment, compared to the grand and powerful Han army, the precipitous and extending Hidden Mist Mountain seemed quite insignificant.

On the other side of Hidden Mist Mountain, the Tianzhu army was also fully assembled.

Zhou Kao was present in person at the front line, showing a determination to coexist with Tianzhu.

By his side were the Bicenarian Kun Peng, the Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, the Prime Qilin, Mosquito Daoist, Demon King Pishacha, and other Quasi-Saints, as well as Buddhistic powers like Guanyin, Jia Ye, and other reincarnated Demon Gods, including the newly-joined Tianzhu ally Shen Gongbao.

"Your Majesty, I am new to Tianzhu and have yet to achieve any merits. Allow me to try my luck at the battlefront," Shen Gongbao said with a smile, requesting to fight for Zhou Kao, completely different from his silence in the Great Han.

"Then I shall entrust General Shen with winning the first battle for Tianzhu," Zhou Kao nodded, also inclined to test the waters.

Following that, under everyone’s watch, Shen Gongbao went to the front and challenged, "Who dares to battle with me?"

"I’ll fight you!" Lei Zhenzi burst forth from the Han army’s camp, but before he could even reach the front lines, his body started convulsing, and his mana became chaotic, as if he was about to succumb to demonic possession.

Boom!

He plummeted straight down before the formation, and after Shen Gongbao severed one of his arms, he barely managed to escape back to his ranks.

Ultimately, at the cost of ten Daluo severely wounded, the Han side finally forced Shen Gongbao to retreat with injuries.

Thereafter, the entire Han army seemed to be shrouded in bad luck, with warriors being defeated one after another at the front, and their morale steadily declining.

Zhou Kao was very satisfied, originally wary of Shen Gongbao, he now let down his guard.

At that moment, four figures descended from the sky, landing in front of the Han army’s formation.

It was Zhao Gongming, Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao.

They glared at the Tianzhu army with murderous intent and said, "Kun Peng, old thief, come out and meet your death!"

Kun Peng was puzzled. When had he made enemies with these disciples of the Sect of Interception?

However, he wasn’t afraid of these four siblings because he had returned to his peak strength, and with the support of Tianzhu’s destiny, he was even stronger than before.

Before he could approach the front, Southern Extremity Longevity Star appeared in the distant sky and soon closed the distance.

He stared at Zhao Gongming and his three siblings with a stern face, "Fellow Daoists, at this critical juncture of the cataclysm, as divine enforcers of the Heavenly Court, intervening in the strife of the mortal realm is breaking the rules, isn’t it? Are you not afraid of divine retribution?"

Zhao Gongming sneered, "What business is it of yours? Are you asking for the Lord of Heaven to strike us dead right now?"

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao similarly showed disdain and contempt, as they had already died once and feared no divine retribution.

Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s expression darkened, and he too couldn’t understand why Zhao Gongming and his siblings chose to step in at this time.

Anyone could see that Kun Peng, the Ancestor, was the totem of Tianzhu’s destiny, connected to Tianzhu’s destiny. Engaging him now would surely affect the outcome of the mortal struggle, with the final result inevitably being entangled with the calamitous energy of the cataclysm.

At that point, Yun Xiao said with an expressionless face, "This battle is for revenge, to resolve past grievances. It has nothing to do with the mortal strife."

Southern Extremity Longevity Star asked, "What grudge does the sorcerer Kun Peng have with you? Why must you settle it now?"

Zhao Gongming added, "I find you’re prying too much. Say one more word, and I’ll deal with you as well."

Southern Extremity Longevity Star stood frozen, his face growing even uglier.

At this moment, not only could Southern Extremity Longevity Star not see the reason, but other powerhouses present were also wondering, what grudge did Zhao Gongming’s four siblings hold against Kun Peng, the Ancestor?

Kun Peng, the Ancestor, decided to go and ask in person. He first looked towards Zhou Kao.

"Sorcerer, please go and demonstrate the might of Tianzhu," Zhou Kao did not intervene.

After a series of triumphant duels, Tianzhu’s momentum had surged. If they were to avoid battle now, that momentum might falter.

Moreover, Kun Peng, the Ancestor, had regained his strength and, with the support of Tianzhu’s destiny, was an invincible presence at his peak.

Kun Peng, the Ancestor, made a move as if to flash to the front.

"Fellow Daoist, please hold!"

Suddenly a voice called out.

Kun Peng, the Ancestor, turned his head in confusion towards Shen Gongbao, who had just made his mark in battle.

"Fellow Daoist, the disciples of the Sect of Interception are always treacherous and cunning; it’s better to be careful!" Shen Gongbao said with a smile.

Kun Peng, the Ancestor, was even more puzzled. Do you think I need reminding of that?

Yet Shen Gongbao displayed another sincere smile, watching as Kun Peng, the Ancestor, went forth to battle.

It wasn’t that he suddenly felt the need to speak those words. Before he left the Han realm, Sun Wukong had reminded him that if he wanted to exert the full power of his misfortune, he should utter the words ’Fellow Daoist, please hold.’

Shen Gongbao understood Sun Wukong’s meaning because, before he awakened his Demon God memory, he had regularly used that phrase during the Divine Enthronement cataclysm, sending off numerous disciples of the Sect of Interception.

But as the Misfortune Demon God, if he really wished to display the might of the misfortune laws, what need was there to recite that phrase?

At this moment, thanks to his initial success in battle and causing a succession of defeats among the Han generals, Shen Gongbao had won the trust of Zhou Kao and the other Tianzhu strongmen, with no one suspecting him.

Of course, he had indeed not employed the laws of misfortune.
