Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

(PS: Finally finished the fourteenth update, the early pop-up was really a surprise and tiring. Dizzy, going to wash up and sleep, thank you for your support, keep your tickets and rewards coming, sigh!)

"Who are you? Why are you in Hell's Yellow Springs? Are you sent by Yama Heavenly Son?"

After a brief moment of astonishment, the soldiers of the Asura Tribe quickly regained their composure. One of them shouted loudly at Sun Wukong, while others intended to leave and enter the Boundless Blood Sea to relay the message.

"Yama, Heavenly Son? I haven't seen him for a long time indeed, I actually kind of miss him!"

Sun Wukong's lips curled into a cold smile. The Heaven-Breaking Domain had already spread out, enveloping all the Asura Tribe soldiers present, instantly restricting their movements, "Thinking of reporting to that old man Nether River? I, Old Sun, haven't agreed!"

"You, who are you… pfft!"

The leading Asura Tribe soldier, with blood-red eyes, struggled to speak. Before he could finish, he burst into a cloud of blood mist, and then turned to dust, just like the other Asura Tribe soldiers, all simultaneously exploded into dust at the same moment.

Just in an instant, all the Asura Tribe soldiers present were annihilated, with none able to escape or send any message out.

"Who I, Old Sun, am is no concern of yours now, dead men need not know so much!"

Sun Wukong looked at the faint blood mist dispersing in the air and snorted lightly, as if he had done a trivial thing.

Below the Saint are all mere insects, because a Saint possesses Domain Power, having the life and death authority over all enveloped under his domain. Unless equal in power, no one could withstand the oppressive force of the domain, not even needing physical action to decide their life and death, just like Sun Wukong now, completely effortless, merely with a thought, all these soldiers of the Asura Tribe were crushed into dust by the domain's power!

After clearing the field, Sun Wukong released his Divine Sense to scout around, ensuring there were no survivors. Then, he turned back and walked towards Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King, who had sustained serious injuries in the spatial passageway. Their battle armors were damaged, and their bodies were scarred by the space's tearing force, with plenty of Space Force invading their bodies. If they didn't expel this invasive Space Force quickly, it would cause damage to their foundations.

Sun Wukong stood beside Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King acting as their protector. After a while, Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King finally recovered from their injuries and opened their eyes, only to see a group of Asura Tribe soldiers, whose bodies had exploded and were crushed into dust by Sun Wukong's Heaven-Breaking Domain Power, right before their eyes.

"Boss!"

Six-Eared Macaque stood up, and Bull Demon King also rose to his full height. Both walked to Sun Wukong's side and gave him a respectful fist salute.

"Good that you've recovered. We can't linger here, we must leave quickly. If we delay and that old Nether River ancestor gets wind of this and comes here, we won't be able to leave!"

Sun Wukong waved his hand, and after half a day's battle, including the initial annihilation of a troop of Asura Tribe soldiers, Sun Wukong had already wiped out seven waves of Asura Tribe soldiers. He also encountered the soldiers of the Ghost Tribe from the Senluo Hall and shielded their presence using a barrier, preventing them from discovering the traces of the three of them.

It seemed that the Demon Ancestor Lou Hu was not joking after all. The Nether River Ancestor and the Yama Heavenly Son were indeed battling within the depths of Hell's Yellow Springs. It was not just between the two of them; even their soldiers were drawn into the fray, fighting and vying against each other.

Although Sun Wukong had used his Domain Power to wipe out seven waves of Asura Tribe soldiers without letting a single one escape, the loss of so many soldiers would sooner or later be noticed by the Nether River Ancestor. Should they really meet, it would be a mix of new grudges and old. Leaving smoothly and returning to the World of the Living would truly be a pipe dream!

"Knowing how formidable I am and still daring to kill my Asura people, you are quite bold! How about it, in this Hell's Yellow Springs, where can you flee?"

Just as Sun Wukong finished speaking, before Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King could respond, a cold male voice rose from the Boundless Blood Sea. Following that, a middle-aged man donned in a blood-red robe emerged from the Boundless Blood Sea, walking atop the surface towards the trio. He merely took a few strides, yet he crossed hundreds of meters to arrive in front of Sun Wukong.

"Nether River Ancestor!"

Sun Wukong's expression suddenly darkened. He had a deep impression of Nether River Ancestor's appearance. The middle-aged man in front of him, dressed in a blood-red robe with a beard a foot long, was unmistakably the master of the Boundless Blood Sea, the creator of the Asura Tribe, the Nether River Ancestor!

However, Nether River Ancestor's current strength had improved since Sun Wukong first met him. Back then, Nether River Ancestor was a Half-Step Saint, but now he had reached the Sub-Saint Realm, with all Three Corpses already severed, only yet to Unite with the Dao and fully Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint. Nevertheless, his aura was already much more formidable than before.

Nether River Ancestor had ascended to the Sub-Saint Realm, so the Yama Heavenly Son, capable of contending and standing against him, must have also reached this level, right?

It appeared that the Heavenly Dao Laws were indeed changing. The third infinite calamity was approaching, the Heavenly Dao Saint position was opening up, and the restrictions on Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint were quickly disappearing. Given the current situation of Nether River Ancestor, perhaps in about a hundred years or so, he might be able to take that final step and unite the Three Corpses to attain the position of a Heavenly Dao Saint!

"You recognize this ancestor?"

Upon hearing Sun Wukong call out his name, a flash of surprise flickered across Nether River Ancestor's face. His eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Sun Wukong carefully. Suddenly, his eyes widened in astonishment, "Is it you? Aren't you that Demon Monkey surnamed Sun who caused havoc in the Netherworld hundreds of years ago? Sun Wukong! Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven! Yes, it's you!"

"Nether River Ancestor, your memory is indeed remarkable. It's been so many years, and you still remember old Sun!"

Although Sun Wukong maintained a faint smile on his face, he was already on guard internally. Back then, Nether River Ancestor had wanted to recruit him but was rejected. Annoyed and embarrassed, Nether River Ancestor had wanted to harm him. If it hadn't been for Yama Heavenly Son coincidentally emerging from seclusion at that time, he would have already fallen into Nether River Ancestor's hands!

After so many years, Sun Wukong's strength had transformed significantly compared to back then, but Nether River Ancestor had also been progressing. Although his Cultivation Strength hadn't increased as quickly as Sun Wukong's, he was now at the Sub-Saint level, with the Three Corpses already severed, only needing the right moment to Unite the Three Corpses and Prove the Tao to Becoming a Saint to step into the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal Realm. His combat power had certainly increased a lot compared to before.

When facing him directly, Sun Wukong wasn't sure he could withstand him!
