Great Demon Sun Wukong

The surprise on Flame God's face was not faked. Just as Flame God widened his eyes to look at the woman in front of Primordial Honor, suddenly, Flame God saw another person behind Primordial Honor. That person moved extremely fast, and as soon as he appeared, he instantly pressed himself onto Primordial Honor's back. Flame God, standing in front of Primordial Honor, couldn't clearly see that person's position, but he recognized that the person was Xi Zhao.

Xi Zhao suddenly appeared and crouched on Primordial Honor's back in a curled-up posture, holding Gan Qi tightly in his reversed hand. At this moment, Gan Qi was already positioned horizontally at Primordial Honor's neck. Xi Zhao's grasp of timing to strike had reached the pinnacle, and indeed he perfectly showcased the essence of an assassin's combat.

Primordial Honor's expression changed to one of slight surprise, but then immediately followed by a contemptuous sneer. In truth, given Primordial Honor's strength, Xi Zhao's invisibility and surprise attack were completely ineffective. However, Primordial Honor's intense emotional fluctuations created a lapse in his detection, giving Xi Zhao the opportunity to strike.

With a cold snort, Primordial Honor grabbed Xi Zhao's arm that was gripping his shoulder with one hand, and with a forceful pull, lifted Xi Zhao entirely. However, Xi Zhao was ruthless; ignoring his body, he forcefully slashed his right hand holding Gan Qi, creating another blood mark on Primordial Honor's neck. But Xi Zhao only had this one chance to attack, and in the next moment, he was thrown forward by Primordial Honor.

As Xi Zhao's body flew out, he twisted his right hand, changing Gan Qi from reverse grip to forward grip. In the moment he flew out, he actually swung the axe at the woman's face in front of Primordial Honor. Primordial Honor, initially disdainful, was instantly enraged seeing the sudden cut on the woman's face.

It was an extremely sudden change to rage. Originally, Xi Zhao's body had been thrown over ten meters away, but Primordial Honor pulled with his right hand in the air, causing Xi Zhao's body to be tugged back as if caught by a rope. As Primordial Honor pulled Xi Zhao back, he had already stepped forward, standing in front of Blast Heaven Phoenix, transforming his right hand into a palm, and struck down on the pulled-back Xi Zhao, slamming fiercely into his chest.

Xi Zhao instantly spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, finally flying out smoothly this time. After knocking Xi Zhao away, Primordial Honor did not pursue, but immediately turned around to check on the state of Blast Heaven Phoenix, watching the blood traces on Blast Heaven Phoenix's face. Primordial Honor felt his entire fury rapidly rising, almost driving him mad.

"Damn it, Xi Zhao, you actually hurt her!" The thunderous roar erupted from Primordial Honor's lips, for his neck was once again scratched by Xi Zhao, though merely a flesh wound, which healed rapidly. However, the wound on Blast Heaven Phoenix's face failed to heal. Flame God took in all of this, but the events unfolded too rapidly for him to react.

In the heat of rage, Primordial Honor's eyes seemed to spew out anger. At that moment, only Flame God was left in the sky, and naturally, Primordial Honor targeted Flame God as the outlet for his fury. Sun Wukong observed keenly below and immediately shouted his warning: "Flame God, run quickly, Primordial Honor's gone mad!" However, even as Sun Wukong spoke, Primordial Honor had already reached Flame God's side.

Without hesitation, Primordial Honor punched Flame God right in the abdomen. Flame God, having lost two major illusions, had his strength sharply diminished, rendering him unable to contend with Primordial Honor. This punch nearly cost him his life, fortunately, Primordial Honor didn't intend to kill him, but it indeed knocked Flame God unconscious. Holding Flame God by the head with one hand, Primordial Honor flashed back to Blast Heaven Phoenix's side.

Just as Primordial Honor prepared to extract all of Flame God's Power of the Phoenix, Sun Wukong suddenly heard Sha Wujing shout: "Brother Monkey, I'm ready, Nine Steles Suppressing Heavens, Seal!" Following Sha Wujing's shout, a towering pillar of nine-colored light mixed and centered around Sha Wujing soared upward, with Primordial Honor and Blast Heaven Phoenix positioned directly above it. The nine-colored light column surged and enveloped Primordial Honor, Blast Heaven Phoenix, and Flame God in an instant.

"Brother Monkey, Flame God is still in there, what do we do?" Sha Wujing's move was the strongest suppression force assembled from nine World Suppressing Steles. The nine-colored light column served as the prelude to the skill, aiming to imprison the target, after which Sha Wujing would banish the imprisoned target into a space formed by the combined efforts of the nine World Suppressing Steles. Although Sha Wujing didn't know the location of that space, he was aware that even if Primordial Honor entered, he would never be able to escape.

However, what Sha Wujing didn't anticipate was that Primordial Honor grasped Flame God. If he hastily executed the banishment, Flame God would vanish along with Primordial Honor, indirectly killing Flame God through Sha Wujing's actions. This caused Sha Wujing to question Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong was also stunned; this was indeed an unexpected situation, Primordial Honor and Flame God were both imprisoned, did it mean sacrificing Flame God for Primordial Honor? At this moment, Xi Zhao suddenly rose from a deep pit on the ground, having heard Sha Wujing's words and their previous dialogue with Sun Wukong.

"Monk, activate it quickly; a Flame God for Primordial Honor is worth it!" In Xi Zhao's eyes, if Flame God's life could be exchanged for Primordial Honor's death, it was absolutely worthwhile. However, Sun Wukong disagreed, "Old Sha, keep it like this. In seven more breaths, I can launch my ultimate move." Both Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Flame God, along with Sha Wujing, were actually buying time for Sun Wukong.

Sha Wujing naturally listened to Sun Wukong and merely maintained the nine-colored light column. Meanwhile, inside the light column, Primordial Honor was completely imprisoned, the nine-colored light column acting as a powerful cage, halting even thought within it, a time-space suspension even more dominating than the grey space of the Source Realmer.

Xi Zhao was agitated but could do nothing, even if he killed Sha Wujing, Sha Wujing wouldn't heed him. The seven breaths passed swiftly, seeming to last seven hundred years to those present, the third breath, fourth breath, fifth breath.

At this moment, a discordant color abruptly appeared among the nine-colored light column, a shade of grey, initially just a tiny speck, but within a breath, it suddenly expanded to occupy half the range of the nine-colored light column. This marked the sixth breath.

As the seventh breath arrived, just as Sun Wukong's strongest strike was about to be unleashed, the grey light unexpectedly reversed, completely covering the nine-colored light column. Sha Wujing swiftly reacted, severing his connection to the light column and World Suppressing Stele, preventing the grey light from following the column downward.

Within the now-grey light column, Primordial Honor suddenly moved. Yet as Primordial Honor moved, the grey glow swiftly dissipated along with the nine-colored light column. The grey glow was the power of the Source Realmer, mimicked by Primordial Honor, capable of halting time within it, allowing Primordial Honor to act.

The grey source realm wasn't originally stronger than the nine-colored light column, but Primordial Honor's immense strength made up for it. However, Primordial Honor wasn't adept at controlling the grey source realm; it vanished as he moved. Nonetheless, during this process, Primordial Honor sensed the terrorizing power gathering on Sun Wukong's person.

Primordial Honor naturally wouldn't allow himself to be caught off guard, his body radiating a peculiar aura again, causing his space to turn illusory instantly. Yet at this junction, where Primordial Honor's form sat between illusion and reality, a terrifying Sword Qi suddenly appeared behind him.

Sun Wukong's face lit up with pleasure; it seemed they still managed to act in time. In Sun Wukong's prior plan, Rogue Heart Sword Hero attacked first as a feint to provoke Primordial Honor into defeating him, ideally striking him down, allowing Rogue Heart Sword Hero to prepare his strongest attack. The plan succeeded; Rogue Heart Sword Hero was indeed knocked away by Primordial Honor, who did not pursue. This was why Sun Wukong said luckily, the plan succeeded.

Now, Rogue Heart Sword Hero finally unleashed his strongest sword strike, though unfortunately his jaw was shattered, preventing him from naming the move.

Primordial Honor sensed the Sword Qi behind him but paid it no mind, believing that by now his form was illusory, signifying his departure from this space. Yet in the next moment, Primordial Honor's form abruptly stopped becoming illusory, instead becoming more solid. In startling realization, he found himself surrounded, squeezed out by the Power of the Stars around him.

Then, a purple-gold sword pierced directly into Primordial Honor's lower back, creating an exit wound through his abdomen. Rogue Heart Sword Hero had stabbed Primordial Honor clean through. Subsequently, on the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss sword, countless purple-gold patterns suddenly extended to fully cover Primordial Honor.
