Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Along the way, Luo Bai kept grumbling, and it wasn't just him; Sun Wukong and Leng Xuan felt quite displeased too. The palace had far too many challenges. After the Lava Sea, they thought things might ease up a bit, but now they were in an ice and snow-covered Realm, still needing to travel on foot. Would there be more challenges ahead?

If the ultimate treasure is precious enough, fine. But if it's ordinary, going through all these trials and tribulations would be really not worth it!

"Enough, Luo Bai, save your energy. No matter how much you curse, we still have to move forward, right? We can't just retrace our steps now."

Sun Wukong didn't speak, just focused on moving forward. Leng Xuan glanced at the grumbling Luo Bai and advised, "Besides, look, the boss hasn't said anything. Who are you complaining for?"

"Monkey Bro, I don't mean to complain about you. I'm just venting!"

Luo Bai glanced at Sun Wukong upon hearing this, and seeing Sun Wukong's expression was off, quickly explained with a smile. Sun Wukong sighed, "Alright, I know you mean no harm. I didn't expect this palace to have so many troublesome challenges. If I'd known, I wouldn't have chosen this place! But having come in already, we must go to the end and see who the master of this palace is and what treasure has been left behind, right?"

"Monkey Bro is right, let's keep going, let's keep moving!"

Sensing the grievance and displeasure in Sun Wukong's voice, Luo Bai didn't dare to mutter anymore. He scratched his head sheepishly, closed his mouth obediently, and followed along.

With the distant lighthouse guiding them, there was no danger of getting lost in this ice-snow world. But Sun Wukong's mind stayed tightly strung. Who knows what might be encountered in this ice-snow Realm?

Previously, the Lava World had an Eight-Headed Dragon Turtle Domain Saint Level terrifying beast. Who knows what kind of beast might appear in this ice Realm? One must be cautious!

As the saying goes, what one fears comes true, and trouble indeed came knocking at Sun Wukong's thoughts!

The snowy ground ahead suddenly emitted a strange vibration, followed by a slight sound of something breaking through the air. Several Ice Arrows shot from the snow towards the three of them.

"What is it?"

Sun Wukong had been on alert, immediately sensing the Ice Arrows once they appeared. He drew the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and swept horizontally, blocking all the Ice Arrows.

The Ice Arrows weren't very powerful, but the cold contained within them was extremely terrifying, starting to freeze along the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod as if to freeze the entire rod.

"Hmph!"

Sun Wukong snorted coldly, Chaos Fire from within his body spread out, extending along the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod. The icy chill met the Chaos Fire and immediately dissolved as if meeting its nemesis, dissipating into wisps of blue steam.

There was no joy on Sun Wukong's face; instead, he focused intently on the group of beasts emerging from the snow.

These beasts were covered in long Ice Spikes, resembling porcupines, but their tails differed from hedgehogs, dragging behind like large hammers. The Ice Arrows shot at the trio were Ice Spikes detached and formed from their bodies.

"Small Domain Marshal Realm beasts dare cause trouble, do they think we are made of clay?"

Throughout the journey, Luo Bai had bottled up frustration, unable to vent before Sun Wukong. Now he found a target to release it on and let out a fierce roar, attacking straight away. The Purple Lightning Blue Glint Sword flashed with electric light, slashing fiercely at the porcupine-like beast covered in Ice Spikes.

Countless Sword Qi flew out from the Purple Lightning Blue Glint Sword, converging into sharp Qi Swords, aiming at the ice-spike porcupines. Luo Bai didn't hold back at all; these porcupines were only Domain Marshal Realm cultivation, their ice spikes sharp could never match the sharpness of Luo Bai's Sword Qi. They were instantly overwhelmed, letting out screams and quickly turning into shattered corpses, soon covered by snow.

"Reckless things, tsk!"

Luo Bai spat heavily, feeling much less angry. After venting a bit, he felt much better!

"Monkey Bro, look at me..."

"Shh!"

Sun Wukong raised a finger to his lips, stopping Luo Bai's bragging. His eyes squinted slightly, looking forward to where the porcupines lay dead. The snow moved a bit, and the porcupines' bodies covered by snow all disappeared!

Fearing greater threats lay beneath the snowy ground!

"We can't stay here, move quickly!"

With a low growl, Sun Wukong's footsteps suddenly quickened, leaping past the porcupine carcasses toward the front. Luo Bai and Leng Xuan also sensed something amiss, hurriedly speeding up to follow.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Strange sounds of friction emerged in the snow, chasing after Sun Wukong. The speed was swift, quickly approaching, and the three almost simultaneously leap into the air, flipping towards the ground to strike.

The shadow of the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, the Sword Qi of the Purple Lightning Blue Glint Sword, and the claw force of the Celestial Fox Iron Claws fiercely hit the ground, colliding with several ice chains springing up from the ground.

The ice chains shattered abruptly, and a gigantic creature emerged from the snow, resembling a giant icy octopus, with ice chains as its tentacles!

Except this icy octopus differed from ordinary ones. Its entire body was like an ice sculpture, crystal clear, even showing the movement of its internal organs.

Sun Wukong clearly saw the porcupine corpses Luo Bai had dissected rolling inside the octopus, being swiftly digested, evidently consumed by it.

"Monsters in this palace are stranger one after another; such octopus creatures have never appeared outside!"

Luo Bai frowned, yet a fierce killing intent rose on him. This octopus creature's cultivation was Domain King Realm, posing no threat to them. Dissecting those porcupines was too easy, and Luo Bai's anger hadn't fully dissipated. He decided to vent further on this octopus creature!

"Monkey Bro, you continue on, I'll handle this octopus monster! I'll catch up quickly!"
