Chapter 703

Xiaomai and Wu Geng Liuli exchanged sharp words for a while, but neither could outdo the other.

Sun Wukong: "You really aren't Buddha? That old Buddha wanted to convert me—hah, it won't be that easy!"

Sun Wukong: "Is there anyone willing to free me? I'll teach you the art of immortality, the seventy-two transformations—how about it?"

Su Xiao: "All your ghost stories—anyone who's seen Journey to the West: Demonic Devastation would believe you?"

Xiaomai: "Exactly. We're not all fools."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "+1. By the way, @Zhu Wushi @Zhu Youjian, don't you two fall for it."

Zhu Wushi: "Ancestor, I'm not stupid."

Zhu Youjian: "Even the Divine Marquis wouldn't believe you—I certainly won't."

Zhu Wushi: "Can't you just call me Ancestor? I'm your ancestor too!"

Zhu Youjian: "Dream on."

Zhu Wushi: "Besides, I'm Emperor now—you should show me some respect."

Zhu Youjian: "..."

Xiaomai: "Do you even know the value of an Emperor? 【Zhu Youjian sneers】08"

Sun Wukong: "No takers? I still hid some peaches of immortality on Earth—free them to me, and they're yours."

Ying Zheng: "I know this one. I'm Qin Shi Huang—I didn't even die. Pay me 50 coins, and when I'm free, I'll make you Grand General."

Zhao Zheng: "Laughable, monkey. Those tricks won't fool anyone in the group. The Shangcheng has immortality cultivation techniques, and we just ate peaches."

Sigong Huiye: "Correct. Monkey is still just a monkey—cultivated for so long and still has no wisdom."

Sun Wukong: "No wisdom?! Woman, you've angered me!"

Sigong Huiye: "And what? You can't reach me! 【Ghost face】"

Hu Yifei: "This Sun Wukong needs disciplining—he's too arrogant, and he eats people."

Jin Chan: "I agree."

Chan Chan: "I remember you're an ancient aberrant insect, terrifying—why would you agree?"

Jin Chan: "I may be fierce, but I only kill, I don't eat people! No, to be precise—I attained Dao in ancient times, when humanity was still weak and had no right to die at my hands."

Fa Hai: "Jin Chan, you speak with such reason!"

Hu Yifei: "Wait—you've never killed a single person?"

Jin Chan: "Isn't that obvious? In ancient times, only those with some divine ability could die at my hands. Jin Chan is fierce, not indiscriminate. I devour life forces—but only strong ones. What use is devouring weak humans?"

Sun Wukong: "Jin Chan? Tang Seng? You're that Monk! So—you're Buddha's backup plan, meant to convert me!"

Jin Chan: "Hmph. You're a frog at the bottom of a well—you don't even understand the multiverse. I'm Jin Chan from another world—what do I care about your world's Monk?"

Jin Chan: "Even Buddha in my world is sealed by the Dao Lord!"

Sun Wukong: "Sealed? Who's the Dao Lord? Can't you free me? If you do, I'll become your subordinate. I'm the Great Protector of Huaguo Mountain—I carved my way from Huaguo Mountain to the Southern Heavenly Gate! My strength is unmatched—you won't regret it."

Zhang Taixuan: "Sun Wukong? I'm not interested. I already have one Sun Wukong under me."

Sun Wukong: "There's another Sun Wukong?!"

Jin Chan: "Strange? In my world, there's Jin Chan—so naturally there's Sun Wukong too. But he's escaped suffering, free and unbound. You? Still sealed under Mount Wuzhi."

Sun Wukong: "He became someone's subordinate?"

Zhang Taixuan: 【Nodding】

Sun Wukong: "How could he serve someone? Sun Wukong is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven—does he have no pride?!"

Su Xiao: "What's the point of pride?"

Xiaomai: "Besides, serving beside Brother Taixuan—what's shameful about that?"

Sun Wukong: "I refuse! I don't accept him as Sun Wukong. @Zhang Taixuan, I see the arena—let's fight. If you win, I'll submit."

Zhang Taixuan: "What benefit do I gain from your submission?"

Zhang Taixuan: "But I just broke through—I might as well stretch my limbs."

【Ding, Zhang Taixuan has opened the arena.】

【Ding, Wu Geng Liuli has entered arena spectator mode.】

【Ding, Zhang Sanfeng has entered arena spectator mode.】

【...】

Arena mode.

In the wilderness.

"Roar!"

A short, stocky monkey bared its fangs, snarling, howling to the heavens.

Though tiny, its overwhelming demonic aura and arrogant presence made it seem the center of heaven and earth.

"So terrifying," Wu Geng Liuli, in spectator mode, turned pale at the sight of such a fearsome demon monkey.

"Don't be afraid." The next moment, a girl walked over and took her hand. "This is spectator mode—no matter how terrifying it is, it can't harm you."

"You're Xiaomai!"

"It's me!" Xiaomai grinned. "We argue, sure—but don't take it to heart."

Wu Geng Liuli, hearing this, felt considerably reassured.

Others had already stopped paying attention to Wu Geng Liuli and others, fixing their gaze on the space.

At that moment, Zhang Taixuan stood in the void; above him, imperial Dao laws descended like beaded curtains before his eyes, like the crown of the Jade Emperor, lending him an aura of sacred solemnity.

"You're Zhang Taixuan!"

"Watch me tear you apart!"

Sun Wukong's cold gaze locked onto him, and he grinned, revealing sharp white teeth.

Boom—!

The next moment, the monkey stamped its foot on the ground, causing the land spanning hundreds of li to collapse inward.

Using the recoil, it leapt upward, soaring several thousand li into the air.

"Such a brutal monkey!" Jin Chan remarked. "It possesses divine abilities but refuses to use them—could it be trying to intimidate the Dao Lord with brute force alone?"

Ying Zheng, clad in a black dragon robe and wearing a crown, smiled broadly: "How hilarious. This monkey is showing off its skills before a master!"

Zhu Wushi: "A good show is about to begin!"

The monkey leapt into midair, reached out a hand, and grabbed toward Zhang Taixuan.

Zhang Taixuan chuckled lightly: "If you want to tear me apart, then I shall use your own way against you. Chaos embodiment—let's play with you!"

The next moment, a presence more arrogant and terrifying than Zhang Taixuan's true body emerged from within him.

As the Chaos Embodiment appeared, ten thousand strands of chaotic qi enveloped the void; each strand carried the power to crush the heavens.

With a single gesture, the chaotic qi coalesced into a monstrous palm that descended directly downward.

In one motion, it seized the demon monkey in its grasp.

The next moment, the Chaos Embodiment extended its other hand and gripped the other half of the demon's body.

Crack!

As the two hands of the Chaos Embodiment pulled with full force, the so-called Diamond-Indestructible Body could not withstand even a single breath—it was torn cleanly in two.

Instantly, the arena space became a mosaic!
