Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"You impudent whelp!"

The turbulence within the great hall grew even more agitated, and the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's soul were furious, causing the entire hall to tremble. Countless torrents bound Sun Wukong, gradually tightening their grip.

"If you kneel and kowtow now, I can forgive your ignorance and grant you my inheritance. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, I, Old Sun, will disperse your soul remnants first!"

Before the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor could finish speaking, Sun Wukong, originally bound by the turbulence, suddenly turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished. A staff wrapped in Chaos Fire descended from the heavens, striking fiercely upon the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's soul.

Sun Wukong was never one to sit and wait for death, and this time, the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor underestimated him too much. With such meager strength, they dared to make him submit? Truly blind as a bat!

What of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor? Even if he were whole, Sun Wukong would still dare to fight!

I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, and challenging the heavens is something I have done more than once!

The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod struck the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's soul, not touching any physical form. It was just a soul fragment, and its shape was illusory. However, the Chaos Fire attached to the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod had a significant damaging effect on soul bodies and burned intensely upon the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's soul body.

"Ah~! You damned monkey!"

The remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor hadn't expected Sun Wukong to dare attack him, let alone be able to harm him. Despite his overwhelming might in life, now he was nothing more than a disintegrated soul, relying on the great hall's power to wield any might. The burning Chaos Fire inflicted a mix of shock and fury, causing him to scream wretchedly.

"It's indeed not a physical form!"

Sun Wukong coldly sneered, "Hmph, merely a fragment of a soul, and you put on the airs of an Ancient Heavenly Emperor before Old Sun. I won't even bother with your inheritance today; I'll obliterate you completely instead!"

"Soul Shocking Stab!"

Since he had already attacked, he would show no mercy!

Sun Wukong executed the Soul Shocking Stab, combining Chaos Fire with Chaos Primordial Force and spiritual power to form an invisible sharp spike, which he suddenly stabbed into the soul body of the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor.

This time, unlike the feeling when the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod hit, the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor let out an extremely harrowing scream. Black smoke emerged from the soul body, the power of the Soul Shocking Stab being a nemesis for such soul bodies as the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, causing more severe harm than Chaos Fire. It made the soul body become faintly illusory, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Soul Shocking Stab! You actually learned Soul Shocking Stab!"

The remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor cried out in alarm, his face devoid of the previous arrogance, left only with terror, "Stop! Don't you want my inheritance?"

"Old Sun already said, I don't care for your inheritance! What bullshit Heavenly Emperor's inheritance, you really think it's so precious? Want Old Sun to kneel and kowtow? Dream on with your dog eyes! I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!"

Sun Wukong roared in fury, launching another Soul Shocking Stab, brutally stabbing into the soul body of the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor. The expression of disbelief on his face became frozen. He thought Sun Wukong was only bluffing and would eventually want the inheritance, but Sun Wukong was this resolute!

The soul body suddenly disintegrated, and just like that, the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor completely vanished under the two Soul Shocking Stabs, leaving no trace of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor in the world!

"Soul Search!"

Sun Wukong, watching the disintegration of the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's soul body, suddenly uttered a low cry, reaching out his right hand towards the direction of the dissipated soul body. At once, fine black lines appeared in the air, grasped into his hand. Shortly thereafter, Sun Wukong let out a cold laugh, and spat harshly onto the ground.

This Soul Searching Technique is hardly a righteous art, but its ethicality depends on whom it's used against. Toward this so-called Ancient Heavenly Emperor, Sun Wukong felt no reverence at all, and the truth proved this guy indeed wasn't anything good!

What Ancient Heavenly Emperor's inheritance? It was just a ploy. The true purpose was to find someone with sufficiently strong talent and strength to possess, completing his fragment of a soul and reviving himself in the Yuan Realm.

In other words, accepting this so-called inheritance from the Ancient Heavenly Emperor would practically open one's divine soul defenselessly before him, only to have one's physical body invaded and divine soul devoured, with no remedy once realization dawned!

"What Ancient Heavenly Emperor, just a piece of trash, ptooey!"

Sun Wukong's eyes filled with disdain, silently grateful that the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, used to ordering others, thought to compel him to kneel and kowtow. Instead, it spurred his killing intent; otherwise, if the other had attempted to coax him kindly, he might have truly fallen into the trap!

Fortunate, truly fortunate!

In the midst of his relief, a mischievous smile appeared on Sun Wukong's lips. He not only learned the actual intentions of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's remnants through the soul search, but also acquired some leftover memories, including how to control the Ancient Heavenly Court!

The Heavenly Que Realm being the site of the Ancient Heavenly Court is widely acknowledged in the Yuan Realm, but no one knows that the entire realm is actually the manifestation of a Saint Artifact Level Space Treasure!

Sun Wukong now knows how to control this Space Treasure. The original body of the Space Treasure remains in the great hall, and once it is refined, the entire Heavenly Que Realm will be in Sun Wukong's grasp, allowing him to open or seal it and control all formations within.

Isn't this the perfect internal stronghold for the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court?

After obtaining the Boundary-Pierce Orb, Sun Wukong already planned to establish the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court within the Yuan Realm, using the Boundary-Pierce Orb to form a passageway between the Two Realms and gather the elites of the Three Realms Demon Clan's Heavenly Court to form the foundation of the Yuan Realm Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.

This Heavenly Que Realm is just perfect for that, with the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court able to divide into two parts: the external facing the entire Yuan Realm as a Sect, and the internal Heavenly Que Realm serving as the genuine cornerstone, accessed only by recognized members of the Demon Cult within the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.

With the Heavenly Que Realm as a foundation, the elites arriving from the Three Realms can rapidly advance their cultivation, becoming the truly powerful manpower of the Yuan Realm's Demon Clan's Heavenly Court!

Thinking of his excitement, Sun Wukong couldn't help but burst into laughter. The next moment, he abruptly leapt into the air, flying to the center of the great hall's airspace, forming Dharma Decrees with his hands.
