Great Demon Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong watched with a bitter heart as the Exploding Phoenix charged towards him, secretly wishing he could be the one to put forth effort to delay time. Yet, he was the only one among the three who could truly contend face-to-face with the Primordial Honor. Flame God spread his wings and launched himself towards the Primordial Honor, fighting with a reckless abandon, exchanging injury for injury and completely foregoing defense, focusing solely on offense.

Sun Wukong felt anxious but knew that urgency was needed. He immediately started secretly harnessing his Spiritual Power. The five symbols behind him were already boosting his strength greatly, but this wasn't Sun Wukong's limit. The full extent of his power had not yet been revealed. Inside him were three forces—one was the origin power of Five Elements Balance, another came from the Spirit Flower, and the last was the power of Cosmic Law.

Sun Wukong was indeed puzzled by the Cosmic Law power within him because he understood that merging the Nine Cosmic Laws would lead to becoming the Nine Patterns Supreme. He had broken through to the Heavenly Venerate realm but hadn't reached the Primordial Honor realm yet, so it was normal to have some enhancement from the Cosmic Law inside him. However, the quantity of Cosmic Law inside him was strangely abnormal—there wasn't less, but rather an excessive abundance, to the point where it seemed peculiar.

But Sun Wukong had no time to dwell on these issues. What he needed to do now was completely integrate these three forces and thoroughly absorb them. Only then would his strength increase to its peak, giving him a chance to slay the Supreme. He was the last hope; if he failed, then Flame God and Rogue Heart Sword Hero might not survive.

With these thoughts, Sun Wukong no longer hesitated. Under the control of his Divine Sense, the three powers within him began to merge with one another. Meanwhile, Flame God in mid-air had entered a state of madness, and the beautiful female illusion behind him was enveloped in flames, appearing extremely beautiful. The Primordial Honor's behavior was again peculiar, as he continued to only defend and dodge during the battle with Flame God, without counterattacking.

The Primordial Honor was aware of Sha Wujing's plans but seemed distracted, lost in thought. Perhaps sensing this moment of absent-mindedness, Flame God seized the opportunity to strike at the Primordial Honor's neck—a blow that would behead anyone else with ease. But the Primordial Honor merely flinched, seemingly suddenly jolted awake, using both hands to swat the Exploding Phoenix away, then turned to gaze with a peculiar expression.

His neck was already marked with scars left by Rogue Heart Sword Hero, and now, after a renewed assault by Flame God, those marks deepened slightly, yet it was just superficial skin damage, not fatal or even severe. As the Primordial Honor regained his composure, he appeared unusually excited, though struggling to suppress it. Flame God was already psychologically prepared for the Primordial Honor's defense, so this beyond-normal reaction startled him.

"Haha, Flame God, you really have brought me great news!" The Primordial Honor blurted out, saying something vague and cryptic. Suddenly, he exuded a strange aura, an energy not native to this world or universe. With its emergence, the warrior illusion behind the Primordial Honor rapidly solidified, wielding a sword.

It appeared as an ordinary sword, lacking distinct features, yet Flame God perceived an immense threat upon it. Despite this, Flame God did not choose to retreat, glancing back at Wukong who was undergoing fusion. Flame God's face displayed a determined smile; indeed, merely focusing on self-preservation would never have been sufficient to defeat the Primordial Honor.

Slowly turning back, Flame God's body started to radiate a flame that was golden with hints of white. As the flame rose, it gradually materialized a massive Phoenix illusion around him. Luckily, the life link with the Monkey had already been severed, for otherwise, he dared not use such an ability.

The Phoenix illusion rapidly solidified, transforming swiftly into an enormous, vivid golden Phoenix, and the female illusion behind Flame God stood atop it. One woman and one Phoenix together, appearing incredibly sacred and beautiful, causing the Primordial Honor to momentarily pause, but he quickly regained his focus.

Primordial Honor was extremely delighted, thrilled even. Such a concentrated Phoenix power, although incapable of full resurrection, could indeed restore most of her form, with possibilities remaining endless. Once her body was reformed within this Fang Universe and her soul unsealed upon returning, genuine resurrection could be achieved. The thought delighted him utterly, quickening his actions.

With Primordial Honor continually altering his Magical Decrees, the illusion behind him grew increasingly solid, ultimately resembling a giant standing amidst the sky. By then, Flame God was prepared; the majestic Phoenix emitted a resonant Phoenix's Cry, then flapped its wings alongside the beautiful woman riding above it. The beautiful female illusion wielded a blade resembling the Exploding Phoenix of Flame God—a colossal sword larger even than the woman herself, appearing somewhat incongruous.

In the next moment, the sword of the beautiful woman standing atop the Phoenix clashed heavily with the sword of the warrior illusion behind the Primordial Honor. Instantly, a fierce shock spread from the point of collision. At the same time, the majestic Phoenix, seemingly materializing, craned its neck to peck at the Primordial Honor. Naturally, he noticed but remained ecstatic, completely disregarding the sharp, sword-like beak.

With an expression of excitement, the Primordial Honor's eyes stayed firmly affixed on the woman standing atop the magnificent Phoenix. Meanwhile, his lips ceased their murmur, reciting something indistinguishable. Suddenly, as the Primordial Honor chanted, the warrior illusion became formless before solidifying again. But then, surprisingly, a phenomenon occurred—the two great illusions behind Flame God split into halves seamlessly, even influencing the Phoenix's previous strike against the Primordial Honor, forcing it to abort the attack.

Flame God was utterly astonished. He discovered, to his shock, that his link with the Phoenix illusion and that of the woman had been severed. It's known these two illusions were congealed from his Phoenix powers, thus losing them would mean losing most of his Phoenix strength—an irreparable damage. Yet, despite Flame God's fears and concerns, the two illusions had independently detached from his body.

Initially, Flame God was encapsulated within the Phoenix illusion, yet with its division, he was left exposed. In surprise, Flame God quickly activated the Phoenix power intending to reclaim the two forces, but just as he began, the warrior illusion behind the Primordial Honor unexpectedly grabbed the Phoenix illusion and the woman illusion simultaneously. With Flame God's control absent, the two illusions had lost their Attack Power.

"Hahaha, though not a true Soul-Slaying Blade, still effective!" Laughing maniacally, the Primordial Honor observed the warrior illusion unexpectedly merge the beautiful woman illusion and Phoenix illusion together. The forces originating from akin sources quickly formed a massive orb of golden Energy. Subsequently, the warrior illusion kept squeezing the orb with its hands. The enormous golden energy ball started shrinking continuously, finally stopping at a diameter of two meters, then floated before the Primordial Honor.

Flame God, utterly stunned, grasped nothing at all—how could the Primordial Honor strip away his Phoenix power so directly? This was unbelievable! And what was he doing by compressing the Phoenix power further? Shortly after, the Primordial Honor unveiled the answer to Flame God.

Witnessing the Primordial Honor stretch a finger towards the energy sphere, gently tapping it, the sphere's surface suddenly fluctuated, eventually forming a graceful woman's body in front of the Primordial Honor. He nodded in satisfaction and then adjusted his right hand's Sword Finger across the left wrist, unleashing a substantial gush of fresh blood pouring onto the graceful body. Originally a figure born from golden energy, it soon gained color and vitality.

As the blood was absorbed, the energetic body became indistinguishable from any normal human yet remained naked. With a wave of Primordial Honor's hand, the body was clad in a pure white gown. Just as the clothing was donned, the eyes of the body suddenly opened, albeit with a hollow gaze.

Primordial Honor was immensely content, stunningly identical to his memory, finally laying eyes upon her once more. Filled with tenderness, his hand trembled slightly as he reached to caress the woman hurriedly.

Beside him, Flame God's jaw nearly dropped in sheer bewilderment. What sort of situation was this? Using his Phoenix power, the Primordial Honor conjured a woman—and she was the Blast Heaven Phoenix, one of the two ancestors of the Burst Phoenix Clan. (To be continued.
