Chapter 671 - 697 Defection of the Old Era
Chapter 671: Chapter 697: Defection of the Old Era Chapter 671: Chapter 697: Defection of the Old Era Boom!!!
Above Mount Kunlun, the Firmament echoed with a tremendous bang, and invisible ripples spread out in all directions from the epicenter, stirring waves upon waves.
High above, an intense battle was in progress.
Enveloped in Buddhist aura, Sun Wukong and Yuan Chu were locked in fierce combat.
Growing in momentum, Sun Wukong was actually able to hold his own against Yuan Chu, no longer like before when he was instantly defeated in a flash.
However, facing the formidable Yuan Chu, Sun Wukong still found himself at a disadvantage despite the fierce fight.
And in comparison to Sun Wukong’s vast fighting spirit,
Yuan Chu seemed much more relaxed and effortless.
...
There was a sense that he hadn’t even put forth his full strength.
Boom!
After another clash,
Sun Wukong and Yuan Chu were both sent flying thousands of meters back.
“If that’s all you’re capable of, I advise you to back down,” Yuan Chu said, standing in the air, calmly looking at Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong’s face remained calm too, but a deep wariness filled his eyes.
He held his staff with one hand and turned to look at Ye Luo and other Disciples of Wayless Sect who were still tending to their wounds.
“Do you have a way to contact your Respected Master? I can’t defeat him.”
Sun Wukong had to admit that he had no way to handle Yuan Chu.
Even if the battle continued, he would be the one to lose.
The Disciples of Wayless Sect within Mount Kunlun were silent; they too had no means to contact their Respected Master.
Seeing the silence from those Disciples of Wayless Sect, Sun Wukong understood and took a deep breath, bracing himself for the continued fight.
Across from him, Yuan Chu listened to this exchange with amusement.
“Are you still waiting for Chu Yuan? I urge you not to harbor such thoughts! Chu Yuan embodies the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao must abide by the rules. Do you really think it would intervene on a whim? Ridiculous!” Yuan Chu said, casually folding his arms across his chest.
When he said this,
everyone was slightly taken aback.
Especially many Disciples of Wayless Sect along with Baize and Sun Wukong, they were stunned for a long while.
Baize, in particular, seemed to connect some dots.
He remembered that Daoist Chu was only cooperating with the Heavenly Dao before; now this person was saying that Daoist Chu was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao?
Could it be that Daoist Chu had merged with the Heavenly Dao?
Baize glanced again at the numerous Disciples of Wayless Sect nearby.
Teaching the world, merging with the Heavenly Dao…
This plot is becoming more familiar the more he thought about it.
The Disciples of Wayless Sect were also somewhat alarmed.
Their Respected Master, the Heavenly Dao?
This was something they had never considered.
No wonder they had not seen their Respected Master since the last incident…
So that’s how it was.
All stood there in a daze,
except for Sun Wukong, who was the first to snap out of it.
“What conditions are needed for the Heavenly Dao to take action?” Sun Wukong asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Trying to fish information from me? Laughable. But what does it matter if I tell you? The rules of the Heavenly Dao dictate that unless a defier of heaven appears, it shall not strike at living beings at will. Now we are amidst a struggle of the Heavenly Dao, so naturally, the rules must be changed. Unless the old era’s Heavenly Dao takes action, your new era’s Heavenly Dao, Chu Yuan, will certainly not intervene!” Yuan Chu arrogantly laid out the conditions to Sun Wukong.
There was an air of confidence as if it wouldn’t matter what they knew.
“Then what conditions are required for the old era’s Heavenly Dao to take action?” Sun Wukong posed another question.
“It’s simple, defeat me…” Yuan Chu didn’t finish speaking, seemingly wanting to add something else.
But just at that moment,
an anomaly occurred.
In the void, a flash of white light streaked forth, heading straight for Yuan Chu.
“Since it has come to this, taking your life will suffice!”
A voice emanated from the white light.
The next moment, the white light collided with Yuan Chu.
Yuan Chu’s eyes widened, feeling an extreme sense of threat, and then his body, as if out of control, was sent flying.
Boom!
Yuan Chu crashed into Mount Kunlun, creating a swath of ruins.
“Don’t just stand there, attack together, kick him while he’s down!”
“The new era has nurtured this life of mine, this time I shall consider the cause and effect resolved!”
The figure within the white light revealed itself.
It was Jiang Baiyi, who had left earlier.
At this moment, Jiang Baiyi formed a massive orb of light with his hands, stretched out his arm, and hurled the orb down onto the ruins where Yuan Chu had fallen.
Boom boom!
The orb smashed down, causing the earth to quake and mountains to shake.
Jiang Baiyi launched an attack and showed no sign of stopping, hurling one light orb after another, seemingly determined to ensure Yuan Chu’s demise.
“Let’s, let’s attack together.”
Sun Wukong fell silent for a long time before he finally snapped back to reality.
Without a word about righteousness, he raised his hand and sent thousands of rod shadows hammering down on the ruins.
“Attack, you go, I’ll watch these monsters from the old era.”
Ye Luo stood up again, his breath somewhat weak, his gaze fixed on the old era monsters standing in the distance, indifferent to the proceedings.
These old era monsters were still a hidden danger.
They absolutely had to be guarded against.
The other disciples of the Wayless Sect were unsure whether to stay and help Ye Luo guard against these old era monsters or to attack Yuan Chu together.
“Baize, can the monsters of the old era possibly pledge loyalty to the new era?”
At this moment, Di Jun quietly stepped forward, faced Baize, and asked this question.
“Of course, I am one who has pledged loyalty to the new era, but to join the new era, one must let go of past glories.”
Baize was unclear why Di Jun would ask this at such a critical juncture, but he answered nonetheless.
Upon hearing this.
Di Jun’s eyes flickered for a while.
Then, as if making some decision, he gradually became resolute.
“Very well! Today, I hereby declare in the name of the Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court that I am leaving the old era to join the new era and will no longer be the Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court!”
“All monsters of the old era who are willing may follow me into the new era!”
“Yuan Chu treats us like ants, constantly oppressing us, I advise you all, following the old era is useless! Even if we win, we will face Yuan Chu’s inhumane rule!”
Demon Emperor Di Jun shouted loudly.
He looked towards Yuan Chu, his eyes filled with rage.
He had been holding back for a long time.
Did they really think he had no temper?
“Willing to follow Your Majesty!”
Donghuang Taiyi was the first to stand out and support Di Jun.
“Willing to follow Your Majesty into battle!”
The monsters of the old era knelt down one after another.
Everyone did so; not a single one chose Yuan Chu at this moment.
The prestige of Di Jun was not something that could be expressed with mere strength!
The title of Emperor of the Demon Race was truly well-deserved!
“Since it is so, come with me to retaliate against Yuan Chu!”
Seeing this scene, Di Jun felt joyful and, with a grand wave of his hand, chose to attack Yuan Chu.
At this moment, the old era completely turned coat and launched a counterattack against Yuan Chu.
The power of the old era was instantly nullified, leaving only Yuan Chu alone.
Boom boom boom!
A vast expanse of dark clouds rose from the horizon in the Western Region, as if the Old Heavenly Dao were venting its fury…
