Chapter 229

On the Execution Platform, the killing aura of the Heavenly Dao condensed to the extreme.

That giant axe tore through the sky, carrying the roar of the laws, and rapidly enlarged in the Liu Er Mihou's pupils.

Time seemed to be stretched at this moment.

The Liu Er Mihou did not look at the life-taking giant axe; its eyes, exactly the same as Sun Wukong's, stared fixedly at the figure standing at the very front above the clouds.

Endless regret and resentment gushed out from its chest.

"I regret not trusting the Tathagata's words back then!"

A shrill roar resounded through the clouds; it paused and, using its last bit of strength, roared out the second half of the sentence.

"Jade Emperor, you..."

"Puchi!"

Before the words fell, blood splashed.

The giant axe containing the laws of the Heavenly Dao cleanly beheaded it; the great monkey head flew into the sky, and the expression on its face was forever frozen in that endless resentment.

Even more terrifying was that the moment the head hit the ground, the countless Heavenly Dao runes engraved on the Execution Platform suddenly lit up, turning into gray lightning, instantly wrapping the Liu Er Mihou's Primordial Spirit and soul that were about to leave the body.

"Zhila—"

A light sound, as if blue smoke was blown away by the wind.

The Liu Er Mihou's Primordial Spirit, along with its true spirit, was directly obliterated under the great power of the Heavenly Dao laws, completely disappearing from the Three Realms, with no possibility of reincarnation or cultivation again.

Body and spirit destroyed!

Above the clouds, the Jade Emperor looked at the headless corpse, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, his body, which had been tense because of the Liu Er Mihou's roar just now, relaxing.

It's good that it's dead; dead men tell no tales, so his previous dealings with the Buddhist sect would forever become a secret.

His expression returned to the majesty and indifference of the master of the Three Realms, and he said loudly to the immortals and gods watching the execution: "Now, the demon monkey that impersonated the Great Sage has been executed; the case of the 'True and False Great Sage' ends here!"

His gaze swept and finally fell on Sun Wukong.

"As for the corpse of this demon monkey, it will be as I promised earlier; leave it to the Saint Qitian to deal with it himself."

Having said that, he seemed to feel uncomfortable staying for even a moment longer, flicked his large sleeve, turned around directly, and returned straight to the Lingxiao Palace surrounded by a group of immortal officials.

"Respectfully send off His Majesty!"

Wuqu Xingjun shouted loudly, then turned around and took over the subsequent mess.

He walked to Su Chen and Sun Wukong with a blank expression, made a "please" gesture, and said coldly: "The two of you, please."

Su Chen and Sun Wukong looked at each other and followed Wuqu Xingjun to the Execution Platform filled with death and killing aura.

Looking at the corpse that was separated from its head, even Sun Wukong felt a trace of complexity in his eyes at this moment.

Su Chen sighed softly.

Liu Er Mihou, pathetic, lamentable.

He knew clearly in his heart that this monkey was also a poor person.

Born with six ears, good at listening, able to observe principles, its talent was not inferior to Sun Wukong's.

But precisely because of this, it could hear countless darkness and secrets in the Three Realms, yet no one could solve its doubts or guide it, and instead, it was regarded as an alien.

It could only silently watch that stone monkey, who gathered the luck of heaven and earth and was infinitely glorious, in the dark corners, stealing its cultivation methods and imitating its words and deeds.

Without a famous teacher like Patriarch Puti to teach it, without a group of monkey grandchildren who treated it sincerely, long-term jealousy and unwillingness ultimately made its Dao heart completely extreme.

It didn't understand, as one of the four monkeys of the world with innate talent, why Sun Wukong could be pampered by heaven, worship a famous teacher, and become a Great Sage, while it could only hide in the dark and peep like a rat that couldn't see the light?

So, it wanted to take its place.

It's a pity that, in the end, it was just a chess piece on someone else's chessboard, discarded after use.

"Pathetic, and also hateful."

Su Chen muttered to himself in his heart and stopped thinking about it.

He walked to the corpse of the Liu Er Mihou and bowed slightly to the head that died with eyes wide open, as a way of seeing it off.

Immediately, he flicked his large sleeve, a gentle magic power surged out, rolled up the head and the headless corpse, and instantly collected them into his space magic treasure.

Throughout the process, Wuqu Xingjun watched coldly from the side.

After Su Chen took away only the corpse, he snorted coldly: "Since the matter is over, the two of you please return; I won't see you off outside the Nantian Gate."

Su Chen and Sun Wukong were too lazy to argue with him and turned to leave.

Under the "escort" of Wuqu Xingjun and a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, the two walked all the way and walked out of the Nantian Gate.

After leaving the Nantian Gate, Sun Wukong breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that all the pores on his body had relaxed.

The Heavenly Court, a place he had once been very curious about, he didn't want to stay for even a moment longer at this time.

Until the auspicious cloud under his feet flew tens of thousands of miles away, completely away from the surveillance range of the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong suddenly scratched his head, leaned close to Su Chen, lowered his voice, and asked curiously: "Brother, can you tell me now? What is the great use of the corpse of the Liu Er Mihou you wanted?"

Hearing this, a mysterious smile appeared on Su Chen's face.

He didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Brother Monkey, do you know that you and that Liu Er Mihou both belong to the four monkeys of the world?"

"Four monkeys of the world?" Sun Wukong was stunned, scratching his hairy face, "I only know that I am an innate stone monkey; I have never heard of the background of that Liu Er Mihou."

Su Chen nodded and said slowly: "In the Three Realms, there are four monkeys of the world, not included in the ten categories. The first is the Lingming Stone Monkey, who is good at transformation, knows the timing of heaven, knows the advantages of the earth, and moves stars and changes battles. This refers to you, Brother Monkey."

"The second is the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey, who understands yin and yang, knows human affairs, is good at entering and exiting, and avoids death and prolongs life."

"The third is the Arm-Armed Ape, who holds the sun and moon, shrinks a thousand mountains, distinguishes good and bad, and rubs the universe."

"The fourth is the Liu Er Mihou, who is good at listening, can observe principles, knows the past and future, and understands all things."

Sun Wukong was dumbfounded; it was the first time he had heard of this statement.

Su Chen looked at his shocked appearance and continued to throw out an even more heavyweight piece of news: "Legend has it that these four monkeys of the world are transformed from the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape. If you can collect the origins of the four monkeys and combine them into one, you may be able to reproduce the supreme foundation of the Chaos Demon Ape and embark on a path to the sky."
