Great Demon Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong's explanation was actually not quite accurate, because the Primordial Honor hadn't discovered Sha Wujing's actions. Instead, he had been observing everyone below all along. After regaining his full strength, the Primordial Honor, though confident, was definitely not so careless as to underestimate anyone. He didn't want to end up capsizing in the gutter, so his attention never strayed from below. At this moment, seeing Sha Wujing manipulate the World Suppressing Stele to form that formation, the Primordial Honor felt a sense of unease.

The formation created by Sha Wujing with the World Suppressing Stele was certainly not for show but intended to deal with him. How would the Primordial Honor allow Sha Wujing to succeed? Therefore, taking advantage of the explosion caused by the Flame God, the Primordial Honor immediately abandoned the attack on Sun Wukong's men and swiftly descended. He did not take the Demon Emperor Halberd with him, after all, the explosion of the Phoenix Golden Fire was not something that could be easily ignored.

Realizing the Primordial Honor's intention, Sun Wukong was in a panic, fully activating the Five Elements Power, closely following the Primordial Honor's descent. However, the Primordial Honor's speed was much faster than Sun Wukong, and it seemed like it would be too late. At that moment, the space above Sha Wujing's head fluctuated, and Xi Zhao launched a fierce attack, swinging Gan Qi in such an angle difficult for the Primordial Honor to defend against.

The timing and angle of Xi Zhao's attack were perfect, forcing the Primordial Honor to either continue attacking Sha Wujing and endure Xi Zhao's strike or turn back to fend off Xi Zhao's attack, thereby missing Sha Wujing. Engaging the enemy to save oneself, Xi Zhao's pure rescue of Sha Wujing was swifter because someone like the Primordial Honor valued himself far above anyone else, and Sun Wukong noticed that Xi Zhao's attack target wasn't the body but the legs of the Primordial Honor.

Sure enough, with a cold gleam in his eyes, the Primordial Honor didn't continue attacking Sha Wujing but flipped his body mid-air, thus evading Xi Zhao's strike. After brushing past the Primordial Honor, Xi Zhao disappeared once more, but with the time Xi Zhao had bought, Sun Wukong and the Flame God had already reached the top of Sha Wujing's head, and the Rogue Heart Sword Hero had also arrived behind the Primordial Honor.

In fact, if the Primordial Honor had chosen to attack Zhu Bajie and the others at this time, Sun Wukong's trio would certainly have been too busy to intercept. But the Primordial Honor disdained such actions, snorted coldly, and with a gesture, summoned back the Demon Emperor Halberd which had just been subsided in the explosion.

Although the explosion of the Phoenix Golden Fire hadn't caused severely destructive damage to the Demon Emperor Halberd, it did char it to a blackened state. With a single stroke, the Demon Emperor Halberd returned to its Purple Gold appearance. Coldly staring at the few of them, the Primordial Honor seemed lost in thought but he didn't waste much time. Just two breaths later, he suddenly launched the Demon Emperor Halberd forth, loudly exclaiming, "Demon Emperor Extinguish Heaven!" applying the moves of the Myriad Blood Halberd onto the Demon Emperor Halberd, with great power remaining strong.

One could see the Purple Gold brilliance of the Demon Emperor Halberd, thrown into mid-air, suddenly greatening. All of the brilliance formed into mythical beasts, roaring, howling, and charging madly towards Sha Wujing's place. Apparently, the Primordial Honor no longer intended to continue close combat. His strongest form was still all sorts of powerful spells. Although Ziling's physical body was also quite formidable, the Primordial Honor didn't favor this fighting style. Watching innumerable mythical beasts charge downwards, Sun Wukong nodded towards the Flame God.

The Flame God took a deep breath, clasped his hands, and after his great wings flapped a few times, they suddenly folded back, enveloping the Flame God entirely within. Simultaneously, the red glow from the Flame God quickly spread, soon dyeing the beautiful lady behind him into a fiery red. At this moment, those mythical beasts were already at the forefront, but the Flame God was not panicked. His clasped hands suddenly made a lifting motion, and it could be seen that the beautiful lady behind him also made a motion identical to the Flame God.

Then, from the hands of that beautiful lady's ethereal figure, phoenixes of flame, varying in size, began to emerge continuously. Each flaming phoenix collided fiercely with the descending mythical beasts. Some perished together, while others eliminated the other, only to be quickly obliterated by more from their opposites.

Simultaneously, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero suddenly sheathed his Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword behind the Primordial Honor. Not only that, but the shadow behind him also began to contract, eventually merging entirely into the scabbard carried in his left hand. This was precisely when the clash between the flaming phoenixes and the mythical beasts was most intense. With resolute eyes, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero glanced at the dim sky before his body swiftly descended. As he withdrew all his aura, it felt as though he was an ordinary person, and thus the Primordial Honor did not immediately perceive it.

When the Primordial Honor sensed that the aura from behind the Rogue Heart Sword Hero had disappeared, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero had already reached a point three meters behind the Primordial Honor. On a regular day, within this distance, the sword Qi of the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss would already be sufficient to wound an enemy. However, facing the Primordial Honor this time, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero did not boast but leaned forward with his body. But at this moment, the Primordial Honor had already noticed the Rogue Heart Sword Hero, and in a mix of shock and anger, the Primordial Honor pointed with a single hand.

Instantly, a red beam of light flashed, Finger of the Gods, the favorite move of the Primordial Honor. At such close range, the Primordial Honor could not miss. The finger force of the Gods directly penetrated the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's chest, yet the Rogue Heart Sword Hero seemed entirely unaffected, his body continuing to lean forward. Seeing the Rogue Heart Sword Hero so determined, the Primordial Honor immediately extended his left hand, clamped down on the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's shoulder, but by then the Rogue Heart Sword Hero was almost pressed against the Primordial Honor's front.

"Withered Wood Slash, Dragon's Roar Chaos, Once Glimpse Severed!" Simultaneously, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero drew his sword. The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword instantly unsheathed, erupting in a multitude of Purple Gold starlights, instantly immersing the entire world in Purple Gold colors, incredibly magnificent and dreamy. Hidden beneath such beauty was a threat enough to be fatal.

The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword suddenly slashed across, and simultaneously, the Purple Gold dragon on its blade swam directly onto the Primordial Honor's body. And more, the seven stars on the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword body abruptly shone, with nine paths of purple light soaring skyward before quickly converging, ultimately condensing into a human form. That appearance, prominently that of the Rogue Heart Sword Hero himself.

The figure formed by purple light had just appeared, and already swung its long sword, unbelievably slashing at the Primordial Honor's neck. This was the real killing move, this purple light chop being the most powerful slash. After one strike, the purple figure dissipated, yet the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword burst forth with an exhilarating dragon's roar. But accompanying that dragon roar, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero only felt a burst of acute pain on his shoulder. He didn't even need to look to know that the Primordial Honor had crushed his shoulder entirely.

The left shoulder was crushed, and the third-stage attack initially prepared to enforce further could not fulfill its course. However, the Primordial Honor quickly extended his right leg, delivering a heavy knee strike on Rogue Heart Sword Hero's chin, sending the Rogue Heart Sword Hero flying backward, leaving a clear blood trail in the air.

The Primordial Honor, in this attack, truly got into a rage. He never expected the Rogue Heart Sword Hero to resort to such measures to assault him, a completely reckless tactic, akin to madness. In a rage, of course, the Primordial Honor held nothing back; although it didn't immediately take the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's life, it indeed severely injured him. The Rogue Heart Sword Hero's jaw felt fractured. Being struck by the Primordial Honor, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's efforts had already consumed considerable energy, and being hit suddenly flew and collided with a large mountain, implanting himself into the rock body.

The Rogue Heart Sword Hero was instantly defeated, while the Primordial Honor seemed to have received no apparent damage. The slash from the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword was actually cut onto the Primordial Honor's half-body armor. That sword slash wielded immense formidable power, but the armor of the Primordial Honor had an astonishing defensive power, only appearing with a tiny crack.

The sword cut hard from the star-formed purple figure indeed sealed solidly onto the Primordial Honor's neck, yet merely drew a shallow gash. Even the weakest neck defensive power was that strong, let alone other places. Although Ziling's physical makeup was used, the Primordial Honor's defensive power had toughened countless times over.

Sun Wukong hadn't made a move all this time, but it was evident he was holding himself back, glaring vehemently at the Primordial Honor, wanting nothing more than to devour him alive, no longer having the previous carefree banter with the Primordial Honor. By then, the Flame God had extinguished all the roaring mythical beasts and the Primordial Honor had also retrieved the Demon Emperor Halberd. "Monkey, this time it's my turn."

Sun Wukong's previous plan was first to buy time for Sha Wujing to complete the Suppression Array, and then, using the time Sha Wujing bought, for the three of them to prepare their ultimate moves. But the Primordial Honor wouldn't comply with his plans, so the Rogue Heart Sword Hero had no choice but to adopt this extreme act. Fortunately, the Primordial Honor didn't pursue further, keeping within the plan's scope.
