Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

In the span of three years, Sun Wukong, Shen Lang, and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor had all ascended to the pinnacle of the late Golden Divine Realm, just one step away from the Saint Divine Realm.

However, this final step was not easy to take; it was not something that closed cultivation could achieve.

Especially for the three of them, real combat was the best way to break through.

Therefore, Shen Lang eagerly hoped to confront the remaining experts of the Cangqiong Immortal Palace, using this opportunity to break through the bottleneck.

"No hurry, you'll have your chance to show your skills."

Sun Wukong smiled lightly.

He was equally filled with fighting spirit, eager to confront Xiang Cangqiong, the Palace Master of the Cangqiong Immortal Palace.

However, now was not the time; they must wait for the right moment to directly face Xiang Cangqiong.

At present, the army was still outside the Immortal Palace gates and had not officially clashed with the Cangqiong Immortal Palace.

In such moments, it's the small fry that advance, and the true strong ones are only encountered deep within the inner palace of the Cangqiong Immortal Palace.

Moreover, those strong ones wouldn't waste their energy by acting prematurely.

"Wukong is right, Lang'er, patience! Let the soldiers charge first. When faced with the main force of the Cangqiong Immortal Palace, you'll naturally have your moment to shine!"

The Heavenly Bird Holy Emperor gently patted Shen Lang's shoulder and smiled softly, then resolutely gave the order to attack.

"By the Emperor's command, attack all along the line!"

"Attack!"

Incredible rays of light lit up on each interstellar warship, with all main attack cannons charged and blasting toward the Cangqiong Immortal Palace gates.

Boom boom boom boom!

Lines of laser fire merged as one, aiming straight at the gates of the Cangqiong Immortal Palace.

A kaleidoscope of colorful lasers covered the entire gate of the Cangqiong Immortal Palace.

As the headquarters and sect of Cangqiong Immortal Palace, the gate was protected by a barrier, which wasn't something the ships could open with a single round of bombardment.

The forces of the Heavenly Bird Dynasty never expected to blast open the gates in a single coordinated strike.

As the warships' firepower began to wane, the soldiers of the Heavenly Bird Dynasty launched their attacks, bombarding the Immortal Palace gates with force surpassing that of the warships.

The barrier over the Immortal Sect of Cangqiong Immortal Palace could no longer withstand it and collapsed with a rumble.

"Charge! Kill and sweep away all remnants of Cangqiong Immortal Palace!"

"Charge! Destroy the Cangqiong Immortal Palace, and the Emperor shall reward greatly!"

"Kill! They're already at their last legs!"

The soldiers of the Heavenly Bird Dynasty roared, rushing through the breached gates.

Soon, the entire Cangqiong Immortal Palace was ablaze, transforming into a field of carnage.

"Father Emperor, isn't it time we headed in? I guess the front is nearly at the Main Palace."

Watching the flames within the Immortal Palace, Shen Lang eagerly asked with urgency.

"Indeed, it's time to get involved! Lang'er, Wukong, Daoist Ancestor, it's now up to you."

The Heavenly Bird Holy Emperor took a deep breath, his eyes glimmered with brilliant intent, then he bowed to Sun Wukong and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor before walking up to Shen Lang and hugging him.

"Rest assured, Father Emperor, your son will uproot the Cangqiong Immortal Palace, leaving no dangers behind!"

Shen Lang burst into laughter, flying out of the warship and charging toward the Immortal Palace.

"Your Majesty, sit back and watch the show! I've waited far too long for this day!"

Sun Wukong raised the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in his hand, leaping from the warship and riding the Somersault Cloud to enter the Immortal Palace.

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor also bowed to the Heavenly Bird Holy Emperor, summoning the Creation Mutual Heart Lotus beneath him, following along.

In the Immortal Palace, everywhere was ablaze, with Sun Wukong bursting in but already losing sight of Shen Lang.

It seemed Shen Lang had charged deep within the palace, perhaps already confronting the last of the experts of the Cangqiong Immortal Palace.

"I wonder where Xiang Cangqiong, the Palace Master of Cangqiong Immortal Palace, is? Has he already engaged Shen Lang?"

Sun Wukong wondered, driving the Somersault Cloud toward the Main Palace inner hall.

"Boom!"

Just as Sun Wukong arrived at the main hall's entrance, a loud crash created a big hole.

A figure flew out from it, crashing into the ground, forming a large pit—none other than Shen Lang.

At the moment, Shen Lang's attire was broken, his face pale, clutching his chest, with a trace of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, clearly suffering significant injuries.

"Shen Lang, are you alright?"

Sun Wukong's heart sank, snapping into action toward Shen Lang, yet seeing a powerful energy wave coming out of the collapsed hall, targeting Shen Lang.

"Stop!"

Sun Wukong shouted, swinging the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod fiercely against the energy wave.

The energy wave dispersed, blocked by Sun Wukong.

"Shen Lang, what's happening? Who hurt you?"

Sun Wukong frowned, stepping back, glancing at Shen Lang who was half-kneeling on the ground, and asked.

"It's Xiang Cangqiong! That old rogue sure is skilled. After tangling for a while, I was struck fiercely... *cough cough*!"

Shen Lang coughed, clutching his chest as he stood up.

"Xiang Cangqiong?"

Sun Wukong's face showed intense fighting spirit, "Great! I've long wanted a reckoning with this old thief!"

Just then, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor flew over, with a calm demeanor likewise revealing a spark of battle intent; clearly he, too, wanted to face off with the Cangqiong Immortal Palace's master Xiang Cangqiong.

"Shen Lang, first take the Victory Wine to heal, while handling the other members of Cangqiong Immortal Palace; leave the old rogue Xiang Cangqiong to me and Daoist Ancestor!"

Sun Wukong grinned, looking at the hall within the broken entrance.

"Ignorant child, dare speak such bold words! Sun Wukong, if you're brave enough, come into this hall, and I'll show you what it means to be a true pinnacle Saint Divine Realm expert!"

A cold snort echoed from within the hall; it was Xiang Cangqiong's voice.

Clearly, Sun Wukong's words were heard loud and clear by Xiang Cangqiong.

"Daoist Ancestor, let's go!"

Sun Wukong smiled proudly, his figure like lightning rushed into the Main Hall.

The hall was in flames, its dome completely destroyed, with broken walls and scattered remains everywhere.

Clearly, there had been an extremely fierce battle here before—Shen Lang's contributions weren't minimal.

In this moment, the only one standing in the hall was Xiang Cangqiong alone.

Xiang Cangqiong's clothes appeared singed, seemingly burned by flame, with some scars on his body; Shen Lang's attacks evidently weren't completely ineffective.

"So you're Xiang Cangqiong, master of Cangqiong Immortal Palace? At last, facing the real player!"

Sun Wukong held the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod angled toward Xiang Cangqiong, his eyes filled with exploding fighting spirit and killing intent.
