Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Rumble!

Just as the Leader of Tongtian raised the Sky-Concealing Ring, clusters of Annihilation Thunder appeared in the ceiling of the Eighth Layer's hall, crashing down towards him.

"Haha! Ignorant fool! Making a move in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault, do you want to be smashed into dust by Annihilation Thunder? You're doomed now!"

The Heavenly Prince laughed triumphantly, feeling extremely pleased as he watched the Annihilation Thunder crash towards the Leader of Tongtian. He was so arrogant because he was certain that no one dared to make a move lightly within this Treasure Vault; otherwise, they would be struck by Annihilation Thunder. If not for this, with so many people on the Leader of Tongtian's side and only him, how could he dare to provoke them face-to-face?

Faced with the Annihilation Thunder's onslaught, the Leader of Tongtian showed no signs of tension. His Qingping Sword didn't even attempt to resist the thunder as it continued to slice towards the Heavenly Prince. The sword exuded a fiercely sharp Sword Qi that surged out with intense Heavenly Dao killing intent, forming a dragon-like Sword Qi that dashed towards the Heavenly Prince's head.

If struck, even the Heavenly Prince couldn't withstand it; his head would be instantly pulverized into dust by the Sword Qi.

"Are you crazy?"

The Heavenly Prince was shocked and hurriedly raised his Heavenly Demon Sword to defend himself, not expecting that the Leader of Tongtian would ignore the Annihilation Thunder. Was this guy attempting a life-for-life trade?

Whoosh!

Just as the Annihilation Thunder was about to hit the Leader of Tongtian, suddenly, the Sky-Concealing Ring emitted a massive suction force, absorbing all the Annihilation Thunder into it, leaving not a trace on the Leader of Tongtian. The Heavenly Prince's eyes nearly popped out from their sockets!

What kind of treasure is that, capable of absorbing even Annihilation Thunder?

No wonder the Leader of Tongtian was indifferent to the thunder's attack; he had known all along that the Sky-Concealing Ring could absorb Annihilation Thunder!

Damn, now this is troublesome!

Boom!

The Sword Qi dragon of the Leader of Tongtian collided with the Heavenly Demon Sword. The Invisible Sword Qi from the Heavenly Prince's tricolored Heavenly Demon Sword was dispersed instantly, and he was knocked backward, crashing heavily into a wall.

"Is this the strongest the Heavenly Prince of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan can offer? Hmph! That's all there is to it!"

The Leader of Tongtian sneered, a look of disappointment written across his face. "I thought you were formidable, but you're just all talk! With your useless skills, you're not even fit to carry Wukong's shoes!"

Not even fit to carry shoes!

The Heavenly Prince's face flushed red; the Leader of Tongtian dared to say he wasn't even fit to carry shoes for Sun Wukong!

Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

"How dare you underestimate me, this prince will not spare you!"

"Undying Heavenly Demon Body!"

The Heavenly Prince was utterly enraged, and intense wrath surged from within him, directly activating the Undying Heavenly Demon Body.

Massive armored wings spread from his back, his entire form expanded several times, and a formidable aura of oppression emanated from him. In the next moment, the massive wings beat violently, gathering immense power into the tricolored Heavenly Demon Sword in his hand.

"Tongtian, I'll show you my true strength now!"

"Three Extermination Slaying Sword: Slay the Heaven, Slay the Earth, Slay the Universe!"

With a furious roar, the Heavenly Prince unleashed his ultimate move, the Three Extermination Slaying Sword. In the Undying Heavenly Demon Body state, this move was extremely terrifying, as powerful Sword Qi surged forth from the tricolored Heavenly Demon Sword, slashing fiercely towards the Leader of Tongtian.

This strike could be considered the Heavenly Prince's most powerful attack, one that not even a Domain Emperor Realm expert might withstand!

"Competing in swordsmanship with me? Heavenly Prince, you have quite the confidence!"

Feeling the Three Extermination Slaying Sword approach, the Leader of Tongtian displayed not a hint of panic. His body swayed lightly and moved along with the flow of the Sword Qi, and not a trace of the Heavenly Prince's fierce Three Extermination Slaying Sword could touch him!

"What? How is this possible?"

The Heavenly Prince was incredulous, his eyes wide as if he'd seen a ghost. This was his ultimate move, the Three Extermination Slaying Sword! And yet it couldn't even touch the Leader of Tongtian's hem — how could this be?

Rumble!

Without waiting for a reply, thunder rumbled again atop the eighth layer's dome. The Heavenly Prince's attack on the Leader of Tongtian triggered a response from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault, and Annihilation Thunder shot down quickly.

"Ah~!"

Without a Sky-Concealing Ring like the Leader of Tongtian to absorb the Annihilation Thunder, the Heavenly Prince bore the brunt of the strike. Though he managed to protect himself at the crucial moment by folding his armored wings over his body, he wasn't unscathed; black smoke wafted from his body.

"Heavenly Prince, I am the Ancestor of Sword Cultivation. Who gives you the confidence to show off your sword skills in front of me?"

The Leader of Tongtian had already neutralized the Three Extermination Slaying Sword. The attack was powerful indeed, but the Heavenly Prince's understanding of the Sword Dao wasn't deep, posing no threat to him. It was easily exploited for a flaw and swiftly broken.

"I return your Heaven Extermination Sword to you!"

With a flick of the Qingping Sword in his hand, the Leader of Tongtian slashed out his own Heaven Extermination Sword towards the Heavenly Prince, a technique that he regarded as simple and could memorize at a glance!

Pfft!

Now, the Heavenly Prince understood all too well what it felt like to be struck by his own ultimate move. If it weren't for the activation of the Undying Heavenly Demon Body and the protective armored wings, he might have been shredded to dust!

Even so, the Heavenly Prince was now badly injured, entirely incapable of continuing the fight. Gritting his teeth, he dashed towards the staircase passage to the Seventh Layer; he had to escape quickly!

Within the staircase passage between the Seventh and Eighth Layers, the formation still persisted. But the Heavenly Prince was now like a startled bird, with no time to slowly break through the formation. He barreled straight down to the Seventh Layer, protected by the armored wings of the Undying Heavenly Demon Body, as countless attacks from the formation struck his wings, sounding a metallic clash.

"Truly a useless guy! Is this the Heavenly Prince of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan? It seems that clan isn't so impressive after all!"

Watching the Heavenly Prince flee into the staircase passage to the Seventh Layer, the Leader of Tongtian did not pursue further, a slight sneer of disdain on his face, spitting sharply.

"Tongtian, do not underestimate the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan! This Heavenly Prince just chose the wrong opponent by using swords against you; otherwise, his strength is still formidable."

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor chuckled softly, a wise gleam in his eyes.
