NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1231: Went Way Too Far
"Shen Lang, what are you trying to do?"
Before Sun Wukong's voice had even finished, Shen Lang had already fiercely punched the sandy ground beneath him.
The purple blaze of the Purple Cloud Heart Flame blasted into the earth, transforming into a wave of energy that radiated far and wide.
The ground began to tremble slightly, and then increasingly strongly, as if something was about to burst out from underground.
Lines of sand extended from afar toward the direction where Sun Wukong and the others were, accompanied by countless large and small presences.
"Damn! Shen Lang, you've really done it this time!"
Sun Wukong screeched, and the Primordial Armor surged from his body. The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and External Incarnation appeared simultaneously, ready for battle.
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor did the same.
With that punch, Shen Lang alarmed all the monsters hidden beneath the sandy ground, and now they were swarming toward Sun Wukong and the others.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground exploded successively, as one monster after another emerged, launching fierce attacks toward Sun Wukong and the group of three.
"Damn it! Why are there so many?"
Shen Lang shouted in shock, hurriedly summoning the Purple Cloud Wings. Although he couldn't take flight, at least it could greatly increase his speed and strength.
"What do you think?"
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, swinging the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod like a windmill, knocking away the beasts that pounced on them.
But more monsters kept coming one after another.
The sky was overshadowed!
In that moment, at least several thousand monsters swarmed out from the sands beneath, and they kept pouring out non-stop.
Scorpions, centipedes, sand bugs, sand rats—every monster Sun Wukong and the others had ever heard of was among them, and most had bizarre appearances they'd never even seen.
Had never even heard of!
Their attack methods were varied, leaving Sun Wukong and the group feeling overwhelmed and scrambling to respond.
Fortunately, the three of them were now powerful beings in the Heavenly Divine Realm, completely different from their earlier selves.
Otherwise, if they were still at the cultivation strength they had when first arriving in the Desolate Divine Realm, they would have been completely devoured by this terrifying beast tide without a trace!
"How could so many appear all at once?"
Shen Lang smiled bitterly. He had originally only intended to lure out some of the beasts and kill them to obtain their treasures.
But he hadn't expected that this punch would be like stirring a hornet's nest, directly attracting so many monsters!
If they continued fighting like this, even if they killed all the monsters, the demonic creature might still be alerted!
"Don't get caught up in battle! Fight as you retreat!"
Very quickly, Sun Wukong saw through the situation. They could engage in a war of attrition with these monsters, but once the demonic creature was drawn out, they would be at a disadvantage.
They must pass through this desert quickly!
"You all, stop sleeping and come out to help your old Sun!"
With a fierce shout in his heart, Sun Wukong summoned the Dragon Cat, Dragon Scorpion, Tian Lin, and Vermilion Bird from the world within his own body.
Ever since an independent world space formed within Sun Wukong, the four little ones had been enjoying their time there, sleeping day and night.
Tian Lin was the exception; awakened by the summoning within the Desolate City Space, it had been guiding Sun Wukong, while the other three continued lazing within the inner world.
Several times, Sun Wukong had wanted to call them out to help, but reconsidered and dismissed the notion.
It wasn't that Sun Wukong didn't want to bother the four little ones; he simply felt there was no need to bring them out under normal circumstances, as he could handle it himself.
Thus, the little ones had enjoyed their laziness and comfort for quite some time.
But now, the situation was critical. The more strength they had, the better their chances of escaping, and Sun Wukong could no longer allow the four little ones to laze around.
"Boss, have you broken the sky?"
The Dragon Cat shouted with a peculiar expression.
"Boss, why are there so many monsters?"
The Vermilion Bird and Dragon Scorpion also showed surprise. Among the four little ones, only Tian Lin knew the story, silently launching an attack on the surrounding monsters.
"Stop the talk, hurry and help us break through!"
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes. At a time like this, these three still had the leisure to ask questions.
The Dragon Cat and the other two realized it wasn't the time to inquire and reluctantly displayed their skills.
With Sun Wukong, they charged in the direction Tian Lin indicated, continuously launching large attacks to repel the monsters advancing on them.
Or kill them.
Every moment, monsters emerged from underground, attacking Sun Wukong and his companions. Of course, every moment also saw monsters being eliminated.
Even as he defeated enemies, Sun Wukong didn't forget to collect the energy spirit liquid left behind by the slain monsters.
Shen Lang and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor did the same.
With the help of the four little ones, and the full efforts of Sun Wukong and his companions, their speed of progress increased significantly.
They fought and ran for more than half a day before finally seeing the edge of the desert.
At this moment, from deep within the sand, a violent tremor emanated, and an extremely terrifying energy was rapidly approaching the surface.
Sun Wukong's heart sank.
Damn!
The demonic creature was still alerted!
"You guys go first, I'll stay behind to hold off the demonic creature!"
Sun Wukong knew the strength of the demonic creature well. With so many of them, the target was too big, making it difficult to escape unscathed.
Let alone with so many monsters besieging them.
"No way! We either all leave or no one does, we can't leave you behind!"
Shen Lang shook his head, filled with regret.
Had he known it would cause so much trouble, he never would have thrown that punch earlier.
"Enough with the nonsense! When I tell you to go, you go! Staying behind will only make things harder for me!"
Sun Wukong's face darkened as he yelled.
Shen Lang, at this moment, was this the time to speak of loyalty?
"Go quickly, you can also help draw away many monsters for me!"
"But..."
"No buts! If we delay any longer, no one will get out! Go!"
Sun Wukong roared with a ferocious expression.
Gritting his teeth, Shen Lang exchanged a look with Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, then turned and rushed toward the edge of the desert with all their might.
"Wukong! Take care! You absolutely must come out alive!"
Sun Wukong laughed, "Don't worry, your old Sun is tough, I won't fall here!"
"Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth!"
With a thought, Sun Wukong unleashed his Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, his body growing to tens of thousands of feet high.
The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in his hand similarly transformed to massive, mountain-like proportions, and he swung it fiercely toward the earth where the terrifying energy was coming from.
At the same time, the External Incarnation also performed the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, swinging the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod down.
Boom!
Amidst an earth-shattering explosion, the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod collided heavily with the arms of the demonic creature emerging from the sandy ground.
