Great Demon Sun Wukong

This time, it really was the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's final ultimate move. As the purple-gold patterns spread across the Primordial Honor's entire body, the Sword Hero himself aged rapidly, his originally black hair turning grey in the blink of an eye. Yet, there wasn't a hint of emotion on the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's face; it was as if he had long anticipated this change and had mentally prepared for it. Finally, when the purple-gold patterns ceased spreading, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero had aged like a centenarian. Anyone unfamiliar with him would never recognize that the aged, emaciated old man was actually the Rogue Heart Sword Hero.

The aged Rogue Heart Sword Hero attempted to extract the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss that had pierced through the Primordial Honor's body, but after several attempts, he was powerless. With a helpless smile, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero reluctantly let go of the tightly gripped Seven-Star Dragon Abyss. As soon as he released it, he couldn't even maintain the strength to fly, plummeting rapidly. During his descent, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero summoned all his strength to shout loudly, "Monkey, it's up to you."

Just as the words fell, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero was caught mid-air by a figure, the two rolling on the ground to dissipate the impact's force. Immediately, however, the figure surged forward again, catching the Flame God nearby. It was Xi Zhao who caught them both. By this time, the Flame God had already fainted, while the Rogue Heart Sword Hero remained conscious but had completely lost his combat power. Who would have thought such a fate awaited the renowned Rogue Heart Sword Hero, but it was still a much better outcome than those who had fallen in battle.

Just as Xi Zhao caught the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the Flame God, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero saw the place Sun Wukong had been standing erupt in a terrifying shockwave. Following that, Sun Wukong charged out, brandishing the Jingu Bang, his target clear: the Progenitor, who was completely bound and immobilized in mid-air by the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's celestial chains.

At this moment, Sun Wukong emitted a breath very similar to that of the Primordial Honor. If one could see inside Sun Wukong's body, they'd find an extraordinary state—within his Dantian, a cluster of five-colored and chaotic gray-white light, circling a faint, light-blue hue like two taiji fish, endlessly spiraling. With each rotation, the aura around Sun Wukong would grow stronger.

Sun Wukong had completely tamed those three forces, and they began operating normally within him. The five-colored light was naturally the Five Elements Power, the Chaotic Power was the Cosmic Law, and the faint blue core was Spirit—the remainder of the Supreme's Spirit and Sun Wukong's own Spirit, combined into one. Sun Wukong had reached the threshold, the brink of breaking through the Realm from Heavenly Venerate's Peak to Primordial Honor.

Previously, the Primordial Honor had mentioned that Sun Wukong's circumstances surprised him greatly. He had said that he wasn't truly a Primordial Honor but a false one because his power wasn't cultivated but assimilated from other sources. Yet, Sun Wukong was different; within him, there was inherent power that could make him a real Honor—that Five Elements Balance and an abundance of Cosmic Law.

Unquestionably, Dao Zhun's foresight at the time was profound. Whether it's the Five Elements Balance power within Sun Wukong or the excessive Cosmic Law, it was all given by Dao Zhun. Without Dao Zhun, Sun Wukong would never possess the cultivation and aptitude he has now. From this, it became evident that Dao Zhun knew the path's end on the Supreme Path long ago, but only he held the secret.

Moreover, pondering Dao Zhun's real identity reveals that it wasn't as simple as it appeared. Even the Pioneer and Underworld Venerate knew not how to break through to Primordial Honor. For this advancement, they paid an enormous price. Presently, Sun Wukong and the others are bearing the results of the seeds sown by the Pioneer and Underworld Venerate.

No matter how it appears, Dao Zhun gave Sun Wukong a chance—a chance to become Primordial Honor. Now, Sun Wukong was just a hair's breadth away from breaking the universe's limits, achieving that eternal Primordial Honor. But before that, Sun Wukong had another task to fulfill.

Sun Wukong suddenly erupted, carrying an unparalleled momentum, already confronting Primordial Honor's front. At this moment, Primordial Honor not only couldn't move; even his thoughts nearly halted, utterly defenseless like meat on a chopping board, awaiting its fate. Sun Wukong showed no mercy, his arms rising with Divine Power, elevating his essence and spirit to their peak. Meanwhile, the three forces within him whirled frantically, coloring even the Jingu Bang with mystical hues.

The next instant, Sun Wukong fiercely swung the Jingu Bang directly at Primordial Honor's neck, striking it head-on. Sun Wukong roared repeatedly, entering a state of extreme outburst. As his entire body exerted further strength, the giant ape's shadow behind him roared to the sky as well. Subsequently, Primordial Honor was directly sent flying.

As Primordial Honor flew out, the giant ape shadow behind Sun Wukong unexpectedly broke free from his restraint, leaping into the air. When the shadow positioned itself directly above the airborne Primordial Honor, it suddenly flipped upside down and extended its massive hand, slamming Primordial Honor into its palm. But that was not all. In the instant the giant ape shadow had Primordial Honor in its grasp, Sun Wukong vanished, only to reappear in the middle of the giant ape shadow's forehead.

"Ape King Transformation, Suppression!" With Sun Wukong's roar, his formerly slender physique suddenly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, Sun Wukong transformed into a giant ape towering ten thousand meters high, perfectly merging with the giant ape shadow. This way, Primordial Honor indeed found himself captured below Sun Wukong's palm.

Since Sun Wukong transformed into the Heaven-Supporting Giant Ape, the enormous weight of his towering form suddenly increased, accelerating his already fast descent speed explosively. Almost instantaneously, Sun Wukong, with a single hand pressing Primordial Honor, plummeted rapidly. The ensuing earth-shaking impact was even more horrifying than an apocalypse—Sun Wukong seemed to pierce through the Fallen Tomb at this moment.

A quarter of an hour later, the vast dust clouds began to disperse. When everyone saw, the ten-thousand-meter-tall Heaven-Supporting Giant Ape was crouched on the ground, its right hand deeply embedded in the earth, with Primordial Honor underneath it.

The giant ape form of Sun Wukong roared to the sky once more, then slowly withdrew the massive hand. Yet, just as the Heaven-Supporting Giant Ape Sun Wukong was retracting his right hand, a faint ray flashed and disappeared from above the Nine Heavens, followed by Sun Wukong's agonized roar.

That fleeting light pierced through Sun Wukong's right shoulder. If Sun Wukong hadn't dodged at the last moment, the light would have penetrated his Heavenly Spiritual Cover! (To be continued.
