Great Demon Sun Wukong

Caomei looked furiously at Sun Wukong, who was pointing toward the Flame God, and the rich aura of the Fire Element on that object in his hands could only belong to that brat, the Flame God.

Caomei had asked that question because she feared she had mistaken someone else for him, but now that she had Sun Wukong's confirmation, she and the little fox flung the three fiery-red objects aside and pounced straight toward the Flame God.

The Flame God, who had been lying on the ground in a daze, was suddenly crushed beneath a snow-white, mountain-like little fox that fell from the sky, causing him to howl in pain. But before his howl subsided, the little fox's nine huge tails spun like a whirlwind, all smacking the Flame God's behind.

At the same time, Caomei had also reached the Flame God's side, swung her small fists without a word, and started to rain down a fierce beating on him. By now, Xi Zhao had gradually come to his senses, but upon opening his eyes, he saw Caomei and the little fox ganging up on the Flame God, which left him somewhat stunned.

Seeing Sun Wukong watching the scene with glee and laughter, he asked in a low voice, "Monkey, what's going on? Why are they both beating up that kid?"

Sun Wukong didn't say a word but just chuckled and pointed toward three red objects that Caomei and the little fox had thrown aside. Xi Zhao looked closely and continued to ask, "Aren't those the Flame God kid's eggshells? Why are they there?

Weren't they...?" Before he could finish, Sun Wukong quickly covered Xi Zhao's mouth and shook his head with an air of mystery, "It must not be said, it must not be said!"

Given Xi Zhao's intelligence, he understood what had happened at this point and gave Sun Wukong a speechless look. He took out another Elixir, swallowed it, and continued to restore his Soul Power.

By this time, Caomei and the little fox were tired from the beating, taking deep breaths. Especially the little fox, who fiercely performed a soil-scratching gesture with her hind legs. Sun Wukong knew this was a motion the little fox made only after relieving herself.

Watching this, Sun Wukong involuntarily shrank his neck and seeing the Flame God lying on the ground bruised and barely alive, Sun Wukong became even more determined never to reveal a word!

"Hmph, see if you dare to throw things around carelessly in the future. Daring to hit even me, your granny, hmph!" Caomei, who had cooled off, looked at those three eggshells on the wall and uttered another fierce line. The Flame God, though desperate to explain, found himself unable to speak, and could only look at Sun Wukong with tearful eyes.

With an awkward laugh, Sun Wukong quickly picked up a Jade Vase, walked over to the Flame God, and fed him two Elixirs. After taking the Elixirs, the Flame God's injuries quickly healed, but just as he was about to speak, Sun Wukong pressed a hand to his back.

The Flame God's mouth abruptly froze, and then, looking sadly back at the solemn-faced Sun Wukong, he suddenly collapsed onto the ground and began to cry, saying, "Why am I so unlucky, to run into you lot. First, Brother Xi Zhao bullied me, and now just the thought of that Ice-Breaking Tower makes me shiver.

Then, just when I thought I had improved and wanted to show my power, I ended up being kicked around by you, Monkey. That would be fine, but why, in the end, am I the one who suffers the most? Who did I offend?"

Seeing the Flame God crying so sadly, Sun Wukong wanted to console him, but before he could speak, the Flame God suddenly sat up, and with tearful yet piercing eyes, looked at Sun Wukong and slowly said, "Also, why can you use the Exploding Phoenix? And the flames that burst forth were even purer than mine. Who are you, really?

You're clearly a monkey of the Earth Element, so why can you use the Divine Artifact of my Burst Phoenix Clan?"

The Flame God's question startled Sun Wukong, and thinking back to when he had used the Exploding Phoenix, he also felt puzzled. He was sure that since birth until now, he had never used such a strange weapon. He had not only never used it but had never even seen it before, nor had any memory of refining or consecrating such a weapon.

But why did he feel so familiar the first time he held the weapon, as if he had used it in the past and found it to be extremely handy? He had always used the Jingu Bang as his weapon, so how could he have this strange feeling for a Fire Attribute knife?

Shaking his head, Sun Wukong said, "I don't know either. Just now, my Golden Hoop was sealed by Xi Zhao, so in desperation, I had to use your knife to fend off the attack. I don't know why I could use it, and that familiar feeling is a mystery to me too." The Flame God, seeing Sun Wukong's demeanor, didn't think he was lying, although he was very puzzled, he didn't pursue the matter any further.

Xi Zhao had already put away the Ice Emperor Tower, and Sun Wukong had also recalled the Jingu Bang, which had shrunk back into his hand. As soon as he held the Jingu Bang, Sun Wukong felt a bone-piercing chill but it wasn't unbearable. As he gently touched the Golden Hoop, Sun Wukong felt a strange sensation that he couldn't describe; it was just very odd.

"Hey, you three, are you ignoring me? Looking for a beating, are you?" Caomei saw the three of them standing there in deep silence and not talking, so she threatened them by swinging her small fists.

Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao were fine, but the Flame God was so scared by her words that he nearly stumbled into a wall. He hastily looked at Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao with pleading eyes for help.

Xi Zhao smiled, seemingly casting aside all his worries and doubts, then asked Caomei, "Is there something going on? I feel some changes in this tower!"

"Yes, there has been an unexpected change in the Supreme Pool baptism that was originally scheduled to last a year. It's probably because we picked the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit. There are three days left. After three days, the path of the trial will open. If one can reach the end of the path of the trial, there will be a chance for resurrection."

The three people who had been somewhat distracted were jolted by Caomei's latter words. They clutched their hands tightly and trembled all over. This was a display of excitement to the utmost degree. Aside from Sun Wukong, even Flame God had almost spent one hundred and fifty thousand years in the Netherworld World.

Caomei had been in the Netherworld World for even longer, but the one who had been there the longest was still Xi Zhao.

When Xi Zhao died, the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms had just two kingdoms destroyed. The first of the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms to be destroyed was Blue Water Realm, followed by Li Fire Realm. It was after the destruction of Li Fire Realm that Xi Zhao died because of that incident, and then the Dominion of Soil fell due to the Wasteland Soil Stele.

So, from his death until now, billions of years had passed for Xi Zhao. Even the Pangu Realm had not been born when Xi Zhao died. Thus, one can only imagine how stirred Xi Zhao's heart must have been upon hearing from Caomei that only this last leg of the journey remained before resurrection.

Caomei knew that these three would be shocked by the news for a long time, as even he took a while to calm down after receiving it. Nearly every person in the Netherworld World's greatest dream or desire is to be resurrected. Although there are also many who, due to having lived here too long or experiencing some devastating event before death, are willing to continue living here indefinitely.

Of course, there are also some who covet the eternal life of the Netherworld World or the power it holds, or who wish to stay in this place without the limitations of realms to enhance their strength and are not willing to leave.

But there are also ambitious individuals and those with unfulfilled wishes who have a strong yearning for resurrection. Sun Wukong, Xi Zhao, Flame God, Caomei, they are all such people. The little fox is the same, except that she has lost her memory.

Sun Wukong desires resurrection because in the Pangu Realm, there are family, friends, and many things left undone. Flame God wants to find other members of the Phoenix Clan to reproduce and is unwilling to let the Burst Phoenix Clan be submerged in the annals of history. As for Xi Zhao, he is determined to reclaim everything he has lost, and Caomei seeks revenge.

Caomei waited silently for a while until the three's emotions had slightly stabilized, then continued, "However, this path of the trial is not easy to walk. It can be said to be a matter of life and death.

Ever since Yue Huangquan became the Domain Lord of the Netherworld World and used the Heavenly Stele to open this path of the trial, the number of people who have successfully reached the end can be counted on one's fingers. Even for us, there's a large possibility of a total annihilation!"

"That can't be true, can it? Our strengths should be quite formidable by now. Surely we won't be completely wiped out?"

Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao also felt that Caomei might be exaggerating, considering their own strengths.

Yet, Caomei shook his head and said, "Our strength, among all those who enter the path of the trial, is the lowest. Of course, this doesn't include me, because I've now merged with the Nine Laws and have the power of a Domain Lord Level. This time, the path of the trial has selected thirty-six people from all the Nine Patterns Supremes in the entire Netherworld World.

It can be said that each one of these individuals is a peerless powerhouse, not just the usual Nine Patterns Supreme material. But even so, the chance of surviving and reaching the end of the path of the trial is still very small!"

"Huh? Caomei, do you mean to say that the path of the trial is not in the Netherworld World? That our opponents are not other Nine Patterns Supremes of the Netherworld World?"

Caomei shook his head again and said, "There have always been many legends about the path of the trial, but this time, the trial is not in the Netherworld World but in a place called the Patrolling Celestial World. There, people from the existing Six Great Divine Nations, plus those from four high-level worlds, will participate.

In fact, to be precise, this path of the trial is not just the simple trial of the past, but rather, acquiring the qualification for resurrection is just one reward of this trial!"
