Great Demon Sun Wukong

No one answered Flame God's question, but the more it was like this, the more agitated Flame God became. Struggling to stand up, Flame God's hand just pushed against the ground when suddenly, it sank down. Flame God, unprepared, fell over, and upon turning his head to look to the right in amazement, he discovered that his entire arm had sunk into a hole as wide as an arm, and the area around the hole was covered with charred marks from high temperature burns.

Flame God pulled back his hand and looked at his arm; it didn't seem wrong. He tried to stand up again, but as soon as he pushed the ground with force, it sank in again, as if he was pressing on a thick layer of snow rather than solid ground. Flame God couldn't understand what was happening to him; his memory was still stuck at the moment he was killed by Ziling. However, as Flame God began to recollect, he gradually remembered everything that had just happened.

Turning his head immediately to look at the two sections of withered ancient trees beside him, Flame God's expression slowly changed as he remembered everything — he died, he discovered Ziling on the rock, but was suddenly attacked by Ziling. Just as he was about to use rebirth through fire, his Phoenix Heart was taken by Ziling, and he lost the possibility of rebirth through fire.

The reason he was resurrected now was entirely thanks to the sacrifices of Ye Zi and Ye Wu. Yes, the two withered sections of ancient trees beside Flame God were the physical forms of Ye Zi and Ye Wu. They gave Flame God everything, not just life force but even their soul and essence.

So, Flame God was resurrected and in a more powerful form, but Ye Zi and Ye Wu were dead — completely dead, without leaving a trace of soul behind. Although Flame God remembered everything, he couldn't understand. His relationship with Ye Zi was always quite good; they had similar personalities and both belonged to the lively type. But although they had a good relationship, Ye Zi had no reason to sacrifice himself to save him.

If it was just Ye Zi trading life for life, Flame God could barely understand, but now even Ye Wu died to save him, which made no sense at all. Regarding Ye Wu, Ye Zi viewed him as untouchable, and in Ye Zi's heart, Ye Wu's life was more important than his own.

This was indeed strange. Ye Zi learned many secrets from Lingwei Zimo and knew about his and Ye Wu's origins. At that time, Ye Zi planned to sacrifice himself to let Flame God evolve only when absolutely necessary. He didn't intend for Ye Wu to sacrifice too, but just now, the two unanimously held Flame God's hand from left and right, pouring everything into him.

The reason for this was actually because of the Primordial Honor. Everyone witnessed its perfect resurrection and knew the strength that came from so many sacrifices and efforts. Ye Zi and Ye Wu understood that with Sun Wukong's current power, he was no match for Primordial Honor.

To defeat Primordial Honor, they had no choice but to risk it all, because with only Ye Zi, the resurrected Flame God was probably not a match for Primordial Honor. Hence, the current situation arose. Flame God was so shocked that he couldn't calm down; reality was such that, many times, those who are saved are more pained than those who sacrifice themselves to save others.

But Flame God quickly set aside all his emotions, his gaze turning cold. Just as Flame God was resurrected, Sun Wukong saw him, but Sun Wukong's expression was not good. Flame God's rescue was surely a good thing, but the price was too steep.

If Sun Wukong could choose, he would truly wish for no one to die, especially in such a case where a brother sacrifices himself to save another brother. Sun Wukong found himself losing control of his emotions, feeling not just pure anger, nor just pain, but an indescribable sensation, as if something within Sun Wukong was about to awake.

Primordial Honor continued his nonsense, while Sun Wukong lowered his head, and his eyes began to change gradually. His pupils, originally flame-like, transformed into rotating five-colored dots, while the five-colored characters behind him suddenly increased their rotation speed, quickly merging into Sun Wukong's body. Subsequently, Sun Wukong raised his head sharply, his eyes shooting out a burst of five-colored radiance. As the radiance appeared, Primordial Honor suddenly stood frozen, turning to look at Sun Wukong with eyes full of astonishment.

Sun Wukong didn't give Primordial Honor any time for surprise; without any visible movement, he was already in front of Primordial Honor, both their auras rapidly rising, directly confronting each other. As their auras climbed to the peak, Sun Wukong suddenly shouted angrily, the sound like Heavenly Thunder, yet filled with majesty. As Sun Wukong shouted, a dark blue figure appeared behind him.

The figure was in the shape of a great ape. Primordial Honor also did not fall short, after his roar, a deep red figure appeared behind him, the figure was a warrior clad in battle armor. Just then, Sun Wukong and Primordial Honor heard an extremely resonant Phoenix's Cry and saw a burst of flame shooting skyward.

Flame God's whole body combusted with crimson flames, and behind him, at some unknown time, a pair of wide phoenix wings appeared. Each feather on those wings flowed with light, indescribably noble and magnificent. Amid the Phoenix's Cry, a crimson figure appeared behind Flame God, the figure a stunningly beautiful woman.

Upon seeing the woman's figure, Primordial Honor suddenly halted, falling into a stupor. Sun Wukong was not one to miss such an opportunity; swinging his Jingu Bang, he charged towards Primordial Honor with the enormous ape phantom behind him, yet Primordial Honor remained oblivious, mesmerized by the beautiful woman's phantom behind Flame God, his gaze blank.

Sun Wukong didn't care what happened to Primordial Honor and swung the Jingu Bang directly down on him hard. Primordial Honor still didn't react, and the ape phantom behind Sun Wukong simultaneously punched the warrior phantom behind Primordial Honor, resulting in Primordial Honor and the phantom both being sent flying backwards.

Meanwhile, Flame God also seized the opportunity; with a spread of his wings, he had already rushed towards the other side of Primordial Honor with the massive Exploding Phoenix. As Primordial Honor was knocked before Flame God by Sun Wukong, Flame God, without hesitation, raised the Exploding Phoenix and dealt a fierce blow onto Primordial Honor's head.

The beautiful woman's phantom behind Flame God also placed a palm on the head of the warrior phantom, and Primordial Honor was instantly slashed down, plummeting straight to the ground. At this time, Sun Wukong's face was cold and unfeeling, not showing any happiness for his advantage in battle. Sun Wukong deeply understood that vengeance was merely a means to soothe the pain in his heart.

Even if he avenged them, the dead would not be resurrected; even if he killed Primordial Honor, Ye Zi and Ye Wu would not come back to life, so killing Primordial Honor would not bring Sun Wukong any joy.

He gave Flame God a knowing glance, without caring whether Flame God saw it. Sun Wukong had already swooped down, understanding that even if he killed Primordial Honor, it wouldn't revive the deceased, however, Primordial Honor must die. Flame God indeed didn't see Sun Wukong's indicative glance but followed Sun Wukong in the dive down. Flame God was in a very subtle state, but his strength had undoubtedly increased significantly.

But just as Sun Wukong and Flame God were about to land from their dive, a phantom stood up in the large pit Primordial Honor had created on the ground — the warrior phantom behind Primordial Honor. The phantom stood up in an instant, simultaneously reaching out both arms and shockingly pinched the necks of the ape phantom and the beautiful woman phantom, one above and one below. Subsequently, Primordial Honor exploded upwards from the pit.

The Demon Emperor Halberd in his hand was directly aimed at Sun Wukong's chest. Sun Wukong immediately placed Jingu Bang horizontally in front of him, catching the Crescent Blade of the Demon Emperor Halberd. But Primordial Honor promptly abandoned the Demon Emperor Halberd, his forward force unabated, delivering a punch straight to Sun Wukong's face, causing Sun Wukong to spit out blood.

Primordial Honor decisively abandoned Sun Wukong, leaping to Flame God's front, also delivering the same punch to Flame God. However, as Flame God was the second to be attacked by Primordial Honor, he was prepared, immediately crossing his arms. But in the next moment, Flame God felt a pain in his lower abdomen; Primordial Honor had not thrown the punch but instead kneed Flame God's abdomen. (To be continued.
