Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"What is your name?"

Sun Wukong looked at the Domain-Defending Demon General with a smile and asked softly, placing a hand on its shoulder. Chaos Primordial Force flowed from his body into the Demon General, helping stabilize its body which was on the brink of collapse due to severe injuries and excessive loss.

"Ye... Ye Chen..."

"Ye Chen? A good name!"

Sun Wukong nodded and flipped his palm. A bottle of healing Immortal Pills for injuries appeared in his hand. These were refined using the Duanmu Clan's materials after his arrival in the Demonic Realm, most compatible with the Demon Race's bodies and could rapidly heal injuries. Or, perhaps calling them Demon Pills would be more appropriate.

"Take this Elixir Pill and move back to heal. Leave this place to us!"

"Us?"

The Domain-Defending Demon General Ye Chen raised his head and looked into the sky. Above the clouds, several figures had appeared. Bull Demon King, Six-Eared Macaque, and Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, and what shocked Ye Chen the most was the presence of Demon Ancestor Lou Hu!

In today's Demonic Realm, the appearances of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and Demon Ancestor Lou Hu were known to everyone. Ye Chen hadn't expected that they would personally come to the scene, and so quickly at that!

"Demon Ancestor, this youngster is worth cultivating, isn't he?"

Sun Wukong raised his head, looking towards Demon Ancestor Lou Hu and called out loudly.

"Indeed! His talent is not the highest, but his disposition is excellent. A promising material indeed!"

Demon Ancestor Lou Hu nodded. With just a glance at Ye Chen, he saw his situation clearly. Ye Chen's talent was only above average within the Demon Race, nothing extraordinary, but it was his willingness to fight to the death defending Boundary Bridge today, and his good fortune to survive, that made him worthy of Lou Hu's regard.

First, astonishment, then overwhelming joy. The Domain-Defending Demon General dropped to the ground with a "plop," prostrating and offering deep thanks to Sun Wukong. He understood that from this day on, his fate would be completely rewritten and it was all thanks to the man before him.

Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong, this name, he would remember for his entire life!

Ye Chen ingested the pill, following Sun Wukong's order, and rode the wind to a distant place. Sun Wukong turned his head slightly towards Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, "Let's go, Elder Mu, it's our time to shine!"

"Heh! My Great Halberd has been itching for action!"

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan waved his Square Sky Halberd, licking his lips, his face brimming with excitement.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

With a smirk, Sun Wukong's form took the lead, flying towards the Boundary Bridge, passing through the breach in the Barrier, and landing before the Beast Tide. He swept his gaze over the seemingly endless tide of beasts. There must be at least a million Demonic Beasts, right?

If all these Demonic Beasts were to be taken out, the numbers of Demon Cores harvested, would probably make Huang Zhen, that girl, grinning from ear to ear, for her, these were all money!

For some reason, Sun Wukong suddenly thought of Huang Zhen, the leader of the Rose Mercenary Group. The way her eyes lit up every time she saw a Demon Core was always amusing to Wukong. If she got her hands on the Demon Cores of these Demonic Beasts, she'd probably wake up laughing from her dreams, right?

"What am I thinking about? Now's not the time for such stray thoughts!"

Shaking his head, Sun Wukong cast away the cluttered thoughts in his mind and looked past the countless Beast Tides towards the clouds at the deepest part of the horde. There, a ten-thousand-zhang Azure Dragon was floating amidst the clouds, its draconic eyes coldly surveying the entire battlefield, seemingly acting like a boss sending out his minions, indifferent to the many Demonic Beasts dying before it.

The Heavenly Demon Dragon!

A Demon Saint level super Demonic Beast, Emperor of the Demon Beast Continent, and the instigator of this Beast Tide!

"Dammit! Why couldn't you just stay in the Myriad Beast Mountains and focus on your cultivation? But no, you had to come out and stir up trouble, forcing me to postpone my return to the Three Realms! Damn you!"

A sharp light flashed through Sun Wukong's eyes. The deal he struck with the Heavenly Demon Dragon was out of necessity, since, at that time, the dragon's Cultivation Strength was indeed superior to his own. Continuing the fight would have certainly put him at a disadvantage, and he might even have dragged Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and the others into the mess. Hence, Wukong had no choice but to come up with a makeshift plan and agree to the dragon's terms—it was not as if he wasn't already planning to deal with the Jidu Demon Emperor anyway.

However, only after his battle with the Jidu Demon Emperor did Sun Wukong realize that Jidu wasn't as weak as he had imagined, and the Heavenly Demon Dragon wasn't as formidable. On the Demon Beast Continent, the dragon might be able to use its geographical advantage to defeat the Jidu Demon Emperor, but it couldn't capture him, which is exactly why the dragon didn't go directly to the Demonic Realm to settle the score with Jidu.

He wasn't certain of victory!

So, he simply decided to use Sun Wukong as his tool, to eliminate Jidu Demon Emperor for him. Even if Sun Wukong failed, the dragon would lose nothing.

"Not a bad calculation! Too bad you didn't expect that you'd have to face me again, did you?"

With a cold snort, Sun Wukong's figure flashed as he soared into the clouds on his Streaming Light Escape, transforming into a golden light and charging towards the Heavenly Demon Dragon in the depths of the cloud-shrouded Beast Tide. All the Demonic Beasts that tried to block him were pushed aside by the power of the Heaven-Breaking Domain.

"Bull Brother, Six-Eared, Elder Mu, I'll leave these guys to you. I'm off to deal with that Heavenly Demon Dragon!"

No sooner had his voice faded than Sun Wukong was already far away. Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and the other two exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This guy always picked off the toughest opponents directly, never asking for their opinion, but what could they do? Who else but Sun Wukong was the strongest among them?

If they had to face the Heavenly Demon Dragon themselves, the outcome was quite predictable!

Indeed, only the Physical Body of the Heavenly Demon Dragon had reached the Demon Saint level, and its enlightenment of the Heavenly Dao Primordial Law was somewhat deficient. However, this deficiency was relative to its Saint Level strength. In actuality, its power was still not something Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and the others could compare with. Apart from Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, only Sun Wukong had the strength to compete with it!

"Forget it, facing the underlings is what we'll do. It's not the first time anyway—I'm used to it by now. How about you, Bull Brother?"

The Six-Eared Macaque shrugged nonchalantly and glanced at the overwhelming Beast Tide in front of him, not taking these Demonic Beasts seriously, as if they weren't millions of Demonic Beasts but a swarm of ants that could be crushed underfoot.

"Business as usual!"

The Bull Demon King replied succinctly, a gleam of sharpness flitting across his eyes, "Let's see who can kill more!"

"Fine, let's have a contest! Elder Mu, you join in too. Let's see who can really rack up the numbers!"
