Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 455 - : Who is the Devil After All? (2nd Update!)

Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Who is the Devil After All? (2nd Update!)

The attack of the Blood Demon might have seemed eerie and unpredictable to others, but to Sun Wukong it was nothing special. Under the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, everything was clear, nothing was surprising. Just as the Blood Dissolving Blade was about to stab Sun Wukong, his figure suddenly vanished. The blade pierced air, and at the same time, a mocking, cold laugh rang out from behind the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon’s eyes suddenly widened as he turned abruptly, only to see Sun Wukong’s face, mocking yet laced with a trace of icy coldness. Then, an iron rod fiercely struck the Blood Demon on the side of his waist.

“Ah!”

A scream echoed as the Blood Demon’s figure was flung away at an even faster speed, flying diagonally toward the upper edge of a lake ditch. Sun Wukong moved promptly, transforming into a streak of golden light that caught up with the Blood Demon, flashing continuously by his side. The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, engulfed in the raging Chaos Fire, kept bombarding the Blood Demon. He screamed miserably and was tossed back and forth, eventually bursting out of the lake ditch, rushing toward the surface of Star Moon Lake.

Inside the treasure vault of Fox Qi Mountain, the white light that had enveloped Leng Xuan suddenly contracted to the center, revealing Leng Xuan’s figure, who abruptly opened his eyes. A powerful aura surged from his body. Above his head, the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse shot out, followed by a Divine Ring appearing behind his head.

With the power gained from obtaining the Celestial Fox Rod and the Merit Force of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe, Leng Xuan had slain his Evil Corpse and directly ascended to the Half-Step Saint Realm. In terms of cultivation, he had even surpassed Sun Wukong!

...

“What an impressive Celestial Fox Rod!”

Leng Xuan’s eyes were filled with surprise and joy. Originally, he had considered obtaining the Celestial Fox Rod merely a task because, according to the Great Elder Bai Wushuang, the rod was the only weapon that could seal the Blood Demon. However, after obtaining the rod, he found that a great portion of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe’s Merit and Destiny had been infused into his body, causing his cultivation strength to explode dramatically!

“The boss was right, taking over as the Emperor of Qingqiu is all gain and no loss for me!”

Gripping the Celestial Fox Rod tightly, Leng Xuan’s figure moved, and he flew out of the treasure vault. It was time to deal with that Blood Demon!

“What’s going on?”

The moment he left the vault, Leng Xuan felt intense power fluctuations coming from the direction of Star Moon Lake. A master was in combat! Could it be the Blood Demon?

Without further thought, Leng Xuan soared on clouds towards Star Moon Lake, where from a distance, he saw the Great Elder Bai Wushuang, along with several Elders and many from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe maintaining a huge barrier cloaking Star Moon Lake. The power fluctuations were emanating from within the lake, inside the barrier.

The fact that such strong power fluctuations could be felt through the barrier meant the fluctuations inside the barrier must be immense!

“Emperor!”

“Emperor, the Great Saint is battling with that Blood Demon!”

Upon seeing Leng Xuan, faces of the Great Elder Bai Wushuang and others flashed with joy. Leng Xuan was holding the Celestial Fox Rod, and his cultivation had advanced to the Half-Step Saint Realm; he had completely mastered the Celestial Fox Rod!

The Celestial Fox Rod was the Supreme Treasure of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, but historically, the Fox Emperors could only gain partial recognition from the rod, allowing them to utilize some of its power to reinforce the seal of the Blood Pool. No one had ever completely mastered the rod, and Great Elder Bai Wushuang had not held much hope for Leng Xuan, but it now seemed that Leng Xuan had thoroughly mastered it!

This Emperor, undoubtedly, was the most powerful sovereign the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe had ever seen!

“What’s going on? How did the Blood Demon break through the seal prematurely? And where are the other Elders?”

The Elder Council always moved as one, especially during such major events, but as Leng Xuan scanned the room, he saw only six elders, including the Great Elder Bai Wushuang. Four elders were missing.

“This…”

A hint of sorrow appeared on the face of the Great Elder Bai Wushuang. The loss of four elders was a tremendous blow to the Elder Council!

After a sigh, Bai Wushuang briefly explained the situation to Leng Xuan, whose brows furrowed, unsure of how to react.

According to Bai Wushuang, it was Sun Wukong whose cultivation at Star Moon Lake had incited the Blood Demon’s uprising, breaking the Blood Pool Barrier and resulting in the fall of four elders. However, it was also Sun Wukong who had saved Bai Wushuang, warding off the Blood Demon, and who was now still battling it. It was hard to say who was right or wrong.

“I’ll check on the boss’s situation; you guys continue to maintain the barrier here!”

After pondering for a moment, Leng Xuan made up his mind and, after giving a couple of instructions to Bai Wushuang and the others, he waved the Celestial Fox Staff. A gap appeared in the barrier, and he darted through it, heading towards the source of the power fluctuations.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Above Star Moon Lake, Sun Wukong and the Blood Demon were engaged in fierce combat.

The Blood Demon was beaten by Sun Wukong from the depths of the lake to its surface, like swatting flies or bouncing a ball, filled with frustration and rage. It unleashed all its strength in a furious attack on Sun Wukong, also employing its ability to manipulate blood.

Unfortunately, this ability might work on others, but it was utterly useless against Sun Wukong!

Speaking of the ability to control another’s blood, the Nether River Ancestor was far stronger than this Blood Demon. Even the Nether River Ancestor’s abilities were of little use against Sun Wukong, let alone this Blood Demon. As Sun Wukong appeared completely unaffected, the horror in the Blood Demon’s heart was like a stormy sea. What kind of monster was this demon monkey, a Slaying Two Corpses Quasi-Saint who had grasped Dominion-level Domain with monstrous combat power, and completely ignored his blood control ability!

Monster, this guy was a monster!

Sadly, the Blood Demon realized that compared to Sun Wukong, it resembled a normal person more, while Sun Wukong seemed more like a Great Demon King, the kind that played lives without recompense. Damn it, who was the real demon here?

“Too weak! Way too weak!”

Sun Wukong initially found the fighting invigorating, but it quickly became tedious for him. The Blood Demon’s strongest ability was to control the blood within others, severely weakening them, an ability completely ineffective against him. In terms of combat power, there really was nothing special about the Blood Demon, which was a huge disappointment!

“With your skills, you dare to threaten to exterminate the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe and slaughter all beings across the Three Realms? Are you joking?”

After sending the Blood Demon flying thousands of feet with his rod, Sun Wukong smacked his lips, clearly dissatisfied as he stared at the Blood Demon, “Show me your real skills to fight me, Sun Wukong, or I won’t hold back anymore!”

Go to hell!

The Blood Demon felt so aggrieved it wanted to curse. It had already used all its skills, but those abilities were ineffective against Sun Wukong. What could it do? It was utterly helpless!
