Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 861 - 862: Fire Element Overlapping Space (Second Update!)

"Release!"

With a thought, Sun Wukong opened a gap in the Sealing Spirit Barrier. Zhao Jun, feeling as if he’d been granted amnesty, hurriedly squeezed through the gap. The Earth Dragon and Earth Qilin were blocked outside the barrier, and immediately roars of anger rang out once more.

"Oh my god, I’m exhausted!"

Zhao Jun collapsed ungracefully onto the sandy ground in front of Sun Wukong, panting like a husky in the dog days of summer. Sun Wukong looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Brother Zhao, why did you run out and tangle with that Earth Dragon and Earth Qilin? Were you cultivating? I really admire you!"

"Admire my foot!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jun was almost in tears. He glared at Sun Wukong angrily, "Do you think I wanted to go out? It’s clearly because you, Xiaozi, had a screw loose and created a barrier that forcibly pushed me out! You have no idea what I’ve been through these days; I almost lost my life to those two beasts!"

"Ah? It was I, Old Sun, who did it?"

Sun Wukong broke out in a cold sweat. He had no memory of the incident, which explained why Zhao Jun looked so wretched!

"Sorry, sorry!"

Sun Wukong chuckled awkwardly, turning his hand to take out a gourd of Battle Victory Wine from his storage bag. It was one of the three gourds of Battle Victory Wine he had just successfully brewed. He had been chased like a dog before and didn’t dare take a sip. Now he had to bring it out to appease Zhao Jun’s mood as a form of compensation.

"Brother Zhao, this is Old Sun’s self-brewed Battle Victory Wine. Quickly drink it to recover. Once you’re back at full strength, we need to move on to the next space."

"The next space?"

Zhao Jun was stunned. "You mean there are more spaces like this?"

"Yes!"

Sun Wukong nodded, "According to Old Sun, this should be just one of nine overlapping spaces. We have to break through each one to truly enter the core area of the Ancient God Ruins."

"Damn it!"

Zhao Jun couldn’t help but curse. If he had known this, he wouldn’t have followed Sun Wukong in!

They had been in the Ancient God Ruins for some time now, constantly on the move and fleeing for their lives. He hadn’t seen any benefits, let alone the treasures he had hoped for. If he had known it would be like this, why on earth did he follow Sun Wukong into these ruins?

With a feeling like ten thousand grass mud horses galloping through his mind, Zhao Jun could only grit his teeth and swallow his blood. It was too late for regrets now. The best he could do was cooperate with Sun Wukong and quickly recover from his injuries.

With great frustration, Zhao Jun uncorked the gourd and took a big swig of Battle Victory Wine. His eyes suddenly widened, "This, this wine..."

"Brother Zhao, if I were you, I would quickly cultivate and absorb the primordial qi, so as not to waste it."

Sun Wukong winked at Zhao Jun. Although he had not yet tasted the wine, he could imagine its effects, which were surely far superior to ordinary spiritual wine of the Yuan Realm!

Zhao Jun carefully sucked the wine at the corner of his mouth into his mouth and activated his cultivation technique to absorb the medicinal power. A faint silver divine light glowed from his body as the medicinal power of the Battle Victory Wine quickly transformed into primordial force, healing his injuries.

The medicinal effect of the Battle Victory Wine was indeed astonishing. After just half a day of recuperation, Zhao Jun’s injuries were completely healed, and his primordial qi was restored to peak condition. Moreover, due to spending the past month constantly evading the Earth Qilin and Earth Dragon’s attacks, his cultivation had progressed significantly, reaching the peak of the Domain General Realm, just one step away from the Domain Marshal Realm!

"Wukong, thank you!"

Zhao Jun solemnly cupped his hands toward Sun Wukong. Without Sun Wukong’s Battle Victory Wine, not only would his cultivation not have improved, but he might have been left with lingering injuries due to slow recovery!

"No need to thank me. Although it was an unintentional mistake on Old Sun’s part that caused you quite a bit of suffering, I still feel quite bad about it. A bit of spiritual wine is nothing."

As Sun Wukong spoke, he put away the remaining Battle Victory Wine. He had only brewed three gourds, and Zhao Jun had used up half a gourd this time. Although he said it was nothing, he felt quite heartbroken internally!

In critical moments, this Battle Victory Wine could be life-saving!

"Wukong, did you really comprehend all these sealing runes?"

Zhao Jun pointed at the sealing runes on the Sealing Spirit Pillars and asked.

"Not exactly all. Old Sun only comprehended the part forming the spatial formation of this space. The rest still need to be understood after we reach the next overlapping space."

The remaining sealing runes had no direct connection to this space, and Sun Wukong couldn’t see what was special about them.

"Then we mustn’t delay. Let’s leave quickly!"

Zhao Jun urged, glancing nervously at the Earth Dragon and Earth Qilin outside the nine Sealing Spirit Pillars. He didn’t want to encounter those two beasts again!

Sun Wukong nodded, drawing runes with his hands. Strands of strange power flowed from his fingertips toward the sealing runes that comprised the spatial formation.

Zhao Jun saw subtle changes in the sealing runes of the spatial formation. The next moment, a spatial gap appeared in the formation—a passage to another overlapping space!

"Let’s go!"

Sun Wukong called out to Zhao Jun, and the two of them squeezed into the passage one after the other.

...

"Last time it was Earth Qilin and Earth Dragon, and this time it’s Fire Qilin and Fire Dragon! Damn it, do the people of the Beast Spirit Sect have a unique preference for these divine beasts of the two races? Why do they always use such creatures to guard the overlapping spaces?"

In a space filled with magma and flame, Sun Wukong and Zhao Jun were once again being chased like rats. This time, they were pursued by a Fire Dragon and a Fire Qilin, both of which were also at the Domain Marshal level.

Compared to their earth element counterparts, the Fire Qilin and Fire Dragon didn’t have such terrifying defensive abilities. However, the fireballs and fire columns they spit out were several times more destructive. Even though Sun Wukong had Chaos Fire, given the absolute difference in cultivation levels, he couldn’t completely withstand their attacks.

Thus, sadly, they could only flee again, flying toward the area with the densest fire-element primordial qi while dodging the fireballs and fire columns launched by the two divine beasts from behind.

"Old Sun is starting to suspect that there might be divine beasts and divine dragons of different attributes in the remaining seven overlapping spaces too!"
