Chapter 1224: Heavenly Divine Realm
When breaking through, an enlarged phantom appears, which only occurs when a strong person above the Heavenly Divine Realm breaks through their realm.
Yet Sun Wukong and the other two manifested it while still at the Earth Divine Realm!
This can't be described as just extraordinary talent anymore; it's simply monstrous, a freak of nature!
The phantom of the Heavenly Dao Law Body still hovered above Sun Wukong and the other two, and like Sun Wukong, both the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Shen Lang consumed a second and third God's pill in succession.
The second God's pill pushed their cultivation from the middle stage of the Earth Divine Realm to the late stage.
The third God's pill propelled them directly through the bottleneck of the Earth Divine Realm, elevating them to the early stage of the Heavenly Divine Realm!
When the three broke into the Heavenly Divine Realm, the phantom of the Heavenly Dao Law Body seemed to gain a divine grace, appearing extremely solid, allowing even the hair on the phantom to be seen clearly.
However, Sun Wukong and the others did not notice this at all.
As they fully broke through in cultivation, the three opened their eyes almost simultaneously.
"We actually reached the Heavenly Divine Realm! What a pleasant surprise!"
Sun Wukong clenched his fist, feeling the explosive power completely different from the Earth Divine Realm, his heart filled with joy.
Originally, he thought that reaching the late stage of the Earth Divine Realm would be enough to explore the continent ahead, but he didn't expect the God's pill to be so effective and forcefully push him into the Heavenly Divine Realm!
Indeed, for Sun Wukong, simply self-cultivating in seclusion is not enough to rapidly enhance cultivation strength.
A too comfortable environment doesn't benefit him; only adventurous journeys like this, in environments where danger and pressure can be felt, are the best ways to improve!
If he hadn't come to the Desolate Divine Realm and stayed in the Inner Court of the Holy Book Academy to cultivate, Sun Wukong might have only reached the early stage of the Earth Divine Realm at most!
"Dao Ancestor, Shen Lang, you've reached the Heavenly Divine Realm as well, congratulations!"
Sun Wukong flew into the air, congratulating the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Shen Lang who had also taken flight.
"Congratulations to you too, Wukong,"
the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor said with a faint smile.
Shen Lang, full of vigor, said, "We've cleared the divine beasts and evil spirits in this area, but there must be more on that continent!"
"Indeed, it's time to venture to that continent!"
Sun Wukong nodded, a sly grin appearing on his face,
"I wonder how Wu Tao and the others are doing now? Hopefully, they're still alive and haven't died too quickly!"
The danger on the continent must far exceed the floating islands. With Wu Tao and the others' strength, it would be difficult to survive there, let alone acquire treasures.
Perhaps those seven have already perished!
With a cold smile, Sun Wukong and the other two rose on clouds, flying towards the distant continent.
"Huh?"
"Not good!"
Just as they reached above the continent, preparing to take a good look, a powerful gravity suddenly pressed down.
Sun Wukong and the others internally shouted that it was bad, exerting their cultivation techniques to resist, but it was already too late, and their bodies plummeted from mid-air.
Fortunately, the three now had the Heavenly Divine Realm cultivation, with outstanding adaptability, preventing them from being too embarrassed.
As Sun Wukong landed, he slammed the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod onto the ground, leveraging the force of the rebound to flip himself up, landing on the ground nearby.
Shen Lang's Purple Cloud Wings appeared on his back, unable to fly but cushioning the fall, and he rolled upon landing to mitigate the falling force.
As for the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, the Creation Mutual Heart Lotus at his feet suddenly sprayed a stream of airflow downwards, directly countering the falling force, allowing him to land firmly.
He was arguably the most composed among the three.
"So many big pits! Wu Tao and their group must have suffered quite a loss before!"
Sun Wukong glanced around, immediately pleased, sweeping away the bit of frustration in his heart.
Around them lay numerous large and small holes, with faint traces of blood, obviously from someone's previous fall!
Who fell was obvious without needing to think: it had to be Wu Tao and his followers from the seven major forces, as they had ascended the continent from here earlier.
There were only pits and bloodstains, with no bodies, indicating they must have headed forward.
Still, just being knocked out of the air by the restriction, they likely wouldn't have fallen to their deaths, given their standing as Earth Divine Realm experts.
"Let's follow their tracks and perhaps pick up some benefits!"
After observing, Shen Lang discovered the traces of Wu Tao and his team departing.
Even if Earth Divine Realm experts travel by foot, they wouldn't leave footprints, but the energy fluctuations lingering in the air are hard to hide.
"Indeed, let's also deal with those few fish that escaped the net!"
A cold glint flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, as he harbored killing intent towards Wu Tao and his group.
Originally, entering this Desolate Divine Realm was based on skill, not interfering with each other, but Wu Tao held a grudge after failing to form an alliance.
They attacked while Sun Wukong and Shen Lang were engaged in alchemy, showing no mercy!
Since that's the case, why should Sun Wukong be courteous to them?
This is the perfect opportunity to wipe them all out in this space, with no one outside being the wiser.
The three exchanged glances, activated their cultivation techniques, and chased in the direction of the energy markings.
"Block it! Keep this monster at bay!"
"Hold him off, I'll deliver a fatal blow from behind!"
On the plains of the continent, Wu Tao and the remaining six were collaborating to besiege a monster.
The creature's entire body was made up of dense bone spikes, appearing as if it was composed of several Divine Beast skeletons.
The bones formed a thick bone armor for incredible defense, and the offensive power was equally formidable, with the bone spikes comparable to divine weapons!
Once pierced, the battle armor celestial robes of Wu Tao and the others couldn't withstand it, being penetrated instantly!
Originally seven in number, Wu Tao's group had immediately lost one member to the monster's bone spikes, who was dragged into its mouth and gruesomely chewed alive.
The sight was as terrifying as could be!
In panic, Wu Tao's team attacked together but only managed to hold a stalemate, unable to significantly harm the monster after a long battle.
Wu Tao, the strongest among them, at the middle stage peak of the Earth Divine Realm, had already identified the monster's weakness: a shard emitting a green light at the back of its head.
But attacking this shard was another issue altogether.
Though massive, the creature was extremely agile and consciously guarded its weakness firmly.
There was simply no opportunity to strike!
