Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong
Chapter 792 - 793

"Damn it!"

Pangu cursed under his breath and was forced to turn around to defend. If he allowed Demon Emperor Qiong Yu’s halberd to strike him, he too would have suffered heavy damage.

That pause allowed Demon Emperor Qiong Yu to catch up, and they entangled in combat once more, now not far from where Sun Wukong was situated, visible to the naked eye.

"He’s catching up, Pangu is catching up!"

The host of Chaos Demons in the distance also spotted Pangu and Demon Emperor Qiong Yu and were instantly alarmed. They were no match for Pangu, and if they were struck by his Heaven-Opening Axe, that would certainly mean certain death!

"A bunch of trash! What are you all staring blankly for? Hurry up and break through that barrier for your emperor!"

Demon Emperor Qiong Yu, seeing the faces of the Chaos God-Demons frozen in horror, roared furiously at them from a distance.

It was only then that the Chaos God-Demons snapped back into action, putting all their strength into bombarding the barrier. Pangu was already on their heels, and Demon Emperor Qiong Yu was fiercely resisting. If they didn’t blow open the barrier and take Sun Wukong away quickly, once Pangu broke through Demon Emperor Qiong Yu’s defence, it would take only a few moves for them all to be dead!

Desperate, the Chaos Demons put their lives into the fight, and the stability of the barrier was greatly shaken. The barrier, although laid down by Pangu with incredible defensive power, had its limits. After being bombarded by the group of Chaos Demons for so long, its energy had already been greatly depleted, its brilliance had dimmed significantly, and it was on the verge of being broken through!

"The energy of the barrier is insufficient! Push harder! If we capture Sun Wukong, the Demon Emperor will surely reward us well!"

"Focus all your strength, blast through this barrier!"

"Sun Wukong is definitely mine to capture. None of you try to snatch him from me, or I’ll have it out with whoever does!"

"Get lost! Yours? Would he respond if you called him? It’s every demon for themselves, and the one who seizes him will be the one credited with the first merit!"

All the Chaos Demons went mad, each putting in every ounce of energy to assault the barrier for the reward promised by Demon Emperor Qiong Yu.

The barrier was on the brink of collapse, flickering in and out, clearly unable to hold much longer!

"Damned Demon Emperor, get out of my way!"

Pangu, watching from afar, couldn’t help but feel an urgent rush, as he launched a furious attack on Demon Emperor Qiong Yu, trying to push him back.

"I’ve told you, I won’t give you the chance to save the boy! He is destined to be mine! Face it, Pangu, and give up, hahaha!"

Demon Emperor Qiong Yu laughed triumphantly, clashing fiercely with Pangu without relenting. His Devil Bursting Pill could last a whole day, and only half of the day had passed; he could still hold on.

As long as he could persevere, once he obtained the secret of the Chaos Fire within Sun Wukong’s body, he could later make up for any loss!

He, Demon Emperor Qiong Yu, would certainly become the true sovereign of the Chaos Void!

"Damn it!"

Pangu flew into a true rage, not bothering to disengage anymore, but instead using all his strength to attack Demon Emperor Qiong Yu. He realized that unless he completely defeated Demon Emperor Qiong Yu, there was no way he could break free to rescue Sun Wukong.

"Kid, I’ve done all I could. Whether you can escape this calamity or not is now up to your fate!"

Within the barrier, Sun Wukong finally reached a critical point, and his body stopped absorbing energy from the outside world.

In his consciousness space.

Sun Wukong floated within his consciousness space, aware that it was his own and acutely conscious of the condition of his body. His wounds had long since healed, and the reason he hadn’t awakened was not that he couldn’t, but that he didn’t want to. He refused to come so close only to fall short at the end!

He wanted to use this rare opportunity to break through and then establish himself, to directly prove his path with strength and fully achieve the Chaos Saint Realm!

However, this was proving to be much more difficult than he had imagined. Only now had he begun to see the dawn of hope. How could he give up halfway?

"What, what is that?"

A giant figure suddenly appeared within the consciousness space, holding a thick iron rod, strikingly similar to Sun Wukong when he unleashed his Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, yet the aura it exuded was entirely different.

The giant figure moved, swinging the iron rod and bringing about a profound and mysterious meaning. Sun Wukong watched, utterly fascinated, as if a knot that had been troubling him all this while suddenly unraveled at this moment.

Outside of the consciousness space, Sun Wukong’s body suddenly stirred, and the barriers around him abruptly collapsed. The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod flew out from his ear on its own and landed in his palm. With his eyes closed, he began to dance in the void, his movements exactly mirroring those of the great shadow inside his consciousness space.

"What, what’s happening?"

"Why did the barrier suddenly break? Is the kid awake?"

"No, his eyes are closed; he probably hasn’t woken up. So what is he doing?"

The group of Chaos Demons was shocked and quickly retreated, warily watching Sun Wukong dance with the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in the void. Strangely, there was not the slightest energy fluctuation emanating from his body.

"Forget what he’s doing, grab him!"

"Right, seize him and take him to the Demon Emperor’s palace, quickly!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, seeing that there seemed to be no dangerous aura around Sun Wukong, each of the Chaos Demons grew bold again. Greed flared up in their faces as they rushed towards Sun Wukong in a scramble.

"Haha, you’re mine now!"

One of the Chaos Demons, faster than the others, surged forward and reached Sun Wukong first. With a nasty smile, he stretched out his hand to grab Sun Wukong, his eyes full of pride and greed, as if Sun Wukong was already meat in his clenched fist.

Hum~!

Just as his hand was about to touch Sun Wukong, a very slight and nearly imperceptible fluctuation emerged beside Sun Wukong. The face of the Chaos Demon changed instantly, his smile freezing, and his eyes filled with sheer terror.

The next moment, before he could even cry out, his body suddenly disintegrated, turning completely to dust, including his Primordial Spirit, leaving nothing behind.

Hiss~!

A collective gasp of shock sounded, as the advance of all the Chaos Demons abruptly stopped, and they stared at Sun Wukong as if they had seen a ghost. They couldn’t comprehend how the Chaos Demon had died so abruptly, reduced to nothing but debris.

Sun Wukong continued to swing the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod with his eyes closed, his movements neither fast nor accompanied by any energy fluctuations. Yet, the power from within the disintegrated Chaos Demon had been fully absorbed by him.

"It must’ve been because the force used when attacking the barrier was too strong, resulting in backlash! Yes, that must be it!"

A Chaos Demon suddenly murmured, and as the idea took hold, his voice grew louder. He had convinced himself of this notion and, in the next moment, all of the Chaos Demons continued their charge towards Sun Wukong.
