Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

The poison inside the Poison Ball is no joke, and Sun Wukong absorbing it into his body like this might lead to extremely severe consequences.

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor couldn't help but remind Sun Wukong.

"Don't worry, Ancestor, I know what I'm doing."

Sun Wukong chuckled lightly. He didn't tell Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Shen Lang about the world inside his body, which is now his greatest secret.

Moreover, his internal world is not fully developed yet, so there's no need to show off. It's better to wait until it reaches the level of the Han Hai Realm.

Since Sun Wukong said so, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor didn't say anything more.

It seemed Sun Wukong clearly understood the threat of the poison in the Poison Ball, so he must have something to rely on. No need for him to worry unnecessarily.

The three continued onward, battling the marsh monsters along the way. Three days later, they finally reached the edge of the marsh.

"Finally reached the end! I'm not going this way again even if it kills me!"

Seeing the edge of the marsh in the distance, Shen Lang's eyes lit up, and he shouted in relief.

Both Sun Wukong and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor showed a relieved expression on their faces.

The experience in the dank marsh was really unpleasant, and Sun Wukong felt as if his body was about to get moldy from dampness.

"Let's go, let's leave immediately!"

Shen Lang eagerly dashed toward the marsh's exit.

Suddenly, Sun Wukong's face changed dramatically: "No! Shen Lang, stop!"

"What?"

Shen Lang froze, and before he could react, the ground suddenly shook violently. A giant hand suddenly emerged from the marsh and slapped Shen Lang into the air.

"Shen Lang!"

Sun Wukong roared furiously, his eyes glaring. This monster appeared suddenly with great strength, and Shen Lang was struck without any chance to react.

The powerful force emanating from the monster made Sun Wukong's face sting.

This monster was far stronger than any of the monsters they had encountered before!

Without time to think, Sun Wukong directly swung a fierce blow. The Staff Force of the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, mixed with the Black Gold Flame of the Heavenly Saint Fire, instantly struck the monster's arm.

But the usual all-conquering Heavenly Saint Fire didn't inflict significant damage to the monster's arm this time.

It merely deflected the arm, causing a roar from the underground.

It was evident that Sun Wukong had hurt the monster.

But it was just a temporary pain, not a real injury.

"Be careful, this thing is strong!"

Just one hit, and Sun Wukong had already confirmed the monster's formidable strength. He hastily shouted a warning.

Actually, he didn't need to remind Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, who had already prepared himself, enveloping his body with Creation Light for protection.

The Creation Mutual Heart Lotus and Creation Divine Sword appeared. The Creation Mutual Heart Lotus and Creation Jade Disc shielded his body while the Creation Divine Sword slashed Creation Sword Qi toward the monster.

It aimed at the monster's arm.

"External Incarnation."

In the critical moment, Sun Wukong could no longer keep his External Incarnation refining artifacts in his internal world and released it, soaring up to catch the falling Shen Lang.

"Shen Lang, are you okay?"

The External Incarnation asked Shen Lang.

Shen Lang had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth—the monster's arm stealthily attacked, already injuring him.

"Damn, I took a hard hit, but it's not too serious, just some chest pain."

Shen Lang gritted his teeth, feeling a dull pain in the chest where he was hit; the destructive power within the monster's attack was astonishing, even his Heavenly Divine Realm cultivation physical body couldn't withstand it.

"Drink some Battle Victory Wine to heal first, we'll handle this monster."

The External Incarnation said, then moved away from Shen Lang, charging at the monster, which had revealed half its body.

This monster was humanoid, covered entirely with thick scale armor, its features indistinct. Even Sun Wukong's Void-Breaking Moon Eyes couldn't see it clearly.

An eerie aura permeated its whole body, giving a chilling feeling.

"Ancestor, did you feel it?"

Sun Wukong's brows furrowed as he continuously attacked the monster, shouting toward Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor not far away.

"I felt it, it's a creature from the Death Plains!"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor said solemnly, with a grim expression.

While fighting the monster, he and Sun Wukong had already recognized its aura.

This monster, remarkably, was the demon creature they had accidentally provoked in the Death Plains!

Unexpectedly, this demon creature appeared here!

Originally, Sun Wukong and the others thought such demon creatures only existed in the Death Plains!

They had already suspected the demon creature's high cultivation. Now, fighting the monster, Sun Wukong found he wasn't mistaken!

The demon creature's cultivation was astonishingly at the peak of the Golden Divine Realm, nearing the Saint Divine Realm!

Fortunately, their cultivation strength had all reached the Heavenly Divine Realm now, otherwise, they'd absolutely not be a match for this demon creature!

Before, if Shen Lang were hit by the monster's slap, he would have been reduced to dust!

It must be said that during their days in the Desolate Divine Realm, their cultivation strength had indeed improved greatly.

However, this peak Golden Divine Realm demon creature was still beyond Sun Wukong and the others' ability to overcome.

All they could do was hold it off temporarily, buying time to escape.

Based on previous experiences, the demon creature seemed to be hidden beneath the ground of the Desolate Divine Realm.

Only when monsters in a certain area were hunted excessively would it be alarmed to appear.

As long as they left the current area, the demon creature probably wouldn't chase after them.

"Wukong, let's join forces to defeat this guy!"

Shen Lang hadn't suffered such a loss in a long time. After drinking the Battle Victory Wine and healing his injuries, he charged up, face brimming with killing intent.

"Defeat my foot! Retreat quickly!"

Even battle has to have limits. Knowing they couldn't win but still charging in wasn't heroism; it was stupidity!

Sun Wukong's goal was to enter the mountain area at the center of this continent and let Tian Lin uncover the treasure calling him.

Not to engage in a deadly conflict with this powerful demon creature here!

"Retreat? Not fighting?" Shen Lang was taken aback, his charging momentum paused.

"Nonsense! Can you defeat it? This is a peak Golden Divine Realm monster!"

Sun Wukong was speechless, "I asked you to recover so you could escape better, not to send yourself to death! Get moving, I'll hold them off!"

"Ancestor, you leave too!"

He turned to Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and shouted.

"Wukong, be careful!"

Unlike Shen Lang, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor was much clearer-headed. He nodded and withdrew from the battle decisively.
