Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 554 - 517: Breaking the Formation

After Ye Zi's sustained treatment, Dao Zhun had recovered a lot, but it was merely enough to stabilize his injuries. Seeing Master Dao Zhun stand up and smile at him, a terrible premonition suddenly rose in Sun Wukong's heart—a painful sense of loss for a cherished person about to pass away. Yet before Sun Wukong could open his mouth to say anything, Dao Zhun had already soared into the sky. Only Ye Zi was left standing still, holding a Bodhi Branch in her hand, standing there in a daze.

Sun Wukong watched Master Dao Zhun's retreating back, not calling out loudly or immediately following, but instead biting his lower lip, with tears rolling down from his eyes. There was no need to say anything more, for the implication of Dao Zhun's actions was already clear to Sun Wukong. In fact, Dao Zhun hadn't left without saying anything; when Dao Zhun looked at Sun Wukong, a voice had already echoed in Sun Wukong's heart, aged yet kind, but exceptionally firm.

"Wukong, the last thing your master can do for you is to buy you one more Chinese Hour. The Patrolling Celestial World is now completely sealed off by a Great Formation. Your task is to find the Formation Eye and destroy it. The Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent is not something you or I can kill, and the destruction of the Patrolling Celestial World seems irreversible. Wukong, I can no longer watch over you on your future path, so I hope you will take care," these words tore Sun Wukong's heart apart.

If it were the Sun Wukong of the past, he would have followed Master Dao Zhun without a second word to stop him, but now, after everything he had experienced, Sun Wukong would no longer act that way. He knew that when someone was determined to die to protect a person or a group of people, what they deserved was respect, not obstruction. Without wiping the tears from his eyes, Sun Wukong looked down and calmly said to Xi Zhao in front of him, "If my master dies today, in the future I will have you all buried with him."

After speaking, Sun Wukong flipped his hands and pushed outward fiercely; the one hundred and eight grains of Spatial Sand scattered throughout the entire Patrolling Celestial World. At the same time, Sun Wukong's Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes opened, meticulously scrutinizing the entire Patrolling Celestial World with his unparalleled Pupil Power. As for Master Dao Zhun's instructions to destroy the Formation Eye of that Great Formation, Sun Wukong had already guessed some of his master's intentions. The Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent had fully awakened, and it was going to be extremely difficult or more accurately, impossible, to stop it with the power of the people present.

And the purpose of that Great Formation, Sun Wukong had also guessed, it was probably to isolate the aura of the Patrolling Celestial World to prevent other Law Enforcers from detecting the abnormality of the Patrolling Celestial World. Learning from Xing Dian about the significance of the Patrolling Celestial World to Law Enforcers, if the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent could not be killed or defeated, then Dao Zhun would act as a distraction, while Sun Wukong would go to destroy the sealing Great Formation. Once the Formation was broken, then the Law Enforcers would definitely notice the anomalies in the Patrolling Celestial World.

As a result, there might still be a chance to save the Patrolling Celestial World, and the people within it could escape with their lives. As for how things would develop afterwards, that was not something Sun Wukong could conceive of at the moment. But no matter what, Xi Zhao must be stopped. Based on his own past experiences, Sun Wukong was certain that what Xi Zhao was doing was wrong. Although the current universe had many constraints and unfairness, it was at least relatively peaceful. Whether it be the Six Great Divine Nations or other High Level and Intermediate Worlds, due to the rules set by Law Enforcers, battles were very rare between them and were minor if they occurred.

Yet, should Xi Zhao's plan succeed and the Law Enforcers vanish, suddenly losing the restraint of Law Enforcers would definitely throw this universe into chaos, leading to a catastrophe. Even if eventually Xi Zhao or Ling Weiyang managed to unify the universe through their powerful strength, it would be no more than the replacement of another Law Enforcer, without much change. Especially since Xi Zhao would have killed the Law Enforcers through rebellion, to prevent such incidents from happening again, he would definitely use even stricter measures than the current Law Enforcers' to restrain the strength of others.

In any case, if too many surpassed Xi Zhao, all his actions would have merely been making a bridal gown for someone else. Sun Wukong was acutely aware of this, and hence he sought to stop Xi Zhao. Of course, Sun Wukong didn't see himself as a Savior; he simply didn't want to see Xi Zhao bring about his own destruction.

The one hundred and eight grains of Spatial Sand scattered in all directions in an instant, and Sun Wukong's figure disappeared from the spot at the same time. To find a Formation Eye within such a vast Patrolling Celestial World was undoubtedly a very difficult task, and time was of the essence. However, Sun Wukong had both Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes and Spatial Sand at his disposal, so he was not left without means. As the Spatial Sand continuously spread out, Sun Wukong moved ceaselessly among all the grains.

If that had been Wukong of the past, he definitely wouldn't have managed this feat because not only were there distance limitations in controlling Spatial Sand, but continuous spatial movement through it also greatly drained Wukong's Divine Sense and Spiritual Power. However, now, albeit still draining, Wukong could completely disregard the consumption. Such was the might of the Heavenly Venerate level. After every instance of spatial movement which briefly brought him into view, Wukong would scan the largest possible area with his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes.

And Wukong's scanning area wasn't limited to just the ground, it encompassed the air, water, and underground—leaving no stone unturned. Nevertheless, even so, locating that Formation Eye wasn't something that could be done in an instant.

Seeing Wukong disappear, Xi Zhao furrowed his brow. According to the agreement with the Spirit Controller, the latter should have appeared by now, ready to lead Xi Zhao, Ling Weiyang, and everyone from the Myriad Demons Country away from here. But after such a lengthy wait, there was still no sign of the Spirit Controller. Xi Zhao was starting to wonder if the Spirit Controller had abandoned him and Ling Weiyang as well, yet on second thought, it seemed impossible. With the situation still up in the air and full of uncertainties, the Spirit Controller couldn't possibly forsake Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang at this point.

This meant trouble must have arisen. Given this, he now had two choices. One was to find Ling Weiyang and immediately lead the people of Myriad Demons Country to Dragon Valley to find the Space Tunnel and leave on their own. The other was to head to the location of the Great Formation's Formation Eye—Wukong's sudden disappearance had left Xi Zhao very anxious. Wukong was not the type to act recklessly without thought, and moreover, Dao Zhun was quite cunning and calculating. There was no way the two of them would act simultaneously without good reason.

The most likely scenario was that Dao Zhun had discovered the Great Formation outside the Patrolling Celestial World and directed Wukong to break the formation, while Dao Zhun himself must have gone to stop the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent. Upon this realization, Xi Zhao made up his mind. Fleeing now would certainly save his life, but without personally witnessing the destruction of the Patrolling Celestial World and the total annihilation of the Underworld God Army, Xi Zhao could not be at ease. The task at hand was no small matter. Success meant life, while failure meant death. Therefore, for the sake of caution, Xi Zhao chose to protect the Formation Eye of the Great Formation.

However, before she left, she still glanced at Ling Weiyang, only to find that Ling Weiyang was still locked in fierce battle with Sha Wujing. Ling Weiyang, now in his Purple Gold Kirin true form, was merely gaining an upper hand in the fight with Sha Wujing and it was clear that a complete defeat of the latter wouldn't be achieved in a short time. Although Sha Wujing was at a disadvantage, with the help of the Ultimate Water No. 8 World Suppressing Stele, Sha Wujing hadn't suffered serious injuries and was often able to counterattack while defending.

Furthermore, as the two were fighting in an ocean formed from diluted Nine Heavens Pure Water, Ling Weiyang's recovery rate was definitely not as fast as Sha Wujing's. If the fight dragged on, it was really uncertain who would win or lose. Moreover, Ling Weiyang's Kirin true form had a time limit. Once the time was up and he lost his Kirin true form, Ling Weiyang would also lose his Half-step Heavenly Venerate strength, and it was possible that Sha Wujing would take the opportunity to counterattack.

This Sha Wujing was truly remarkable, and his perfect fusion with Ultimate Water No. 8 greatly boosted his strength. Seeing this, Xi Zhao intended to first help Ling Weiyang. After all, the location of the Great Formation's Formation Eye was extremely hidden, and even with Wukong possessing Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, it would take considerable effort to find it. If Sha Wujing could be eliminated now, it was a sure win with no loss.

But before Xi Zhao could join the fray, the Kirin head of Ling Weiyang's Purple Gold Kirin form suddenly turned around and bellowed at Xi Zhao, "Go away! This is my fight. Do you really think I can't handle a mere human?" However, in the moment Ling Weiyang turned to speak, Sha Wujing landed a punch on his back, eliciting a scream as he plummeted to the ocean floor.
