Chapter 371: Meeting Up

Inside the Southern Tianmen, the cloud sea boiled.

Sun Wukong gripped the Ruyi Jingu Bang with both hands, the magic power of a mid-stage Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian pouring into it without reservation.

The formidable physical body, fused with the origin of the Six-Eared Macaque, erupted with terrifying power at this moment.

Smashing down with one staff, the golden staff shadow expanded to a thousand zhang in the wind, like a pillar supporting the sky, carrying the violent power to smash the world, and smashed heavily onto the defensive array formed by the elite demon army.

"Boom!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, the array's light shield only held for half a breath before shattering like fragile glass.

The violent recoil force transformed into air waves, sweeping in all directions.

Many elite demon soldiers spat blood in unison, being blown away like fallen leaves in a gale, falling into the cloud sea.

The three mid-stage Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian gate-guarding demon generals standing at the very front bore the brunt.

The three magic treasures they had sacrificed—a saber, a spear, and a sword—dimmed under the crushing weight of the Ruyi Jingu Bang and rolled back.

"Pfft!"

Sun Wukong had no time to deal with them, taking this opportunity to exert force with his feet, shattering large patches of white jade floor tiles, his entire body turning into a brilliant golden light, heading straight for the towering Southern Tianmen.

And outside the Southern Tianmen.

Su Chen looked calmly at the rolling cloud sea inside the gate.

He could clearly perceive that the familiar rebellious aura was approaching at an astonishing speed.

"Monkey brother is coming out," Su Chen whispered to himself.

Just as he was about to lift his foot to step into the Southern Tianmen to provide support, a sudden change occurred.

The sky suddenly went dark.

This was not black clouds obscuring the sun, but the entire firmament being forcibly covered, and a terrifying pressure, countless times greater than that of a Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian, descended without warning.

Sensing this aura, Su Chen's expression changed.

The chaotic blood and Qi of the sixth turn of his "Nine Turns of Chaos" dropped in operating speed under the suppression of this pressure.

The inner worlds within his three hundred and sixty-five acupoints glowed faintly, resembling three hundred and sixty-five deities, while his spinal dragon thrashed madly, attempting to resist this formless oppression.

Su Chen raised his head abruptly, looking at the shattered void ahead.

In the darkness, a massive figure slowly manifested.

Its form was like a horse, with a human face and tiger markings, and broad bird wings on its back.

As the wings flapped slightly, storms capable of tearing the world apart took form.

One of the ten great Demon Sages of the Demon Court, Yingzhao!

With the cultivation of a late-stage Semi-Sage, carrying the overbearingness to suppress the heavens, he completely sealed off the inside and outside of the Southern Tianmen.

Yingzhao transformed into a human form, clad in dark battle armor, suspended in mid-air.

The wind pattern mark between his brows flickered with eerie light, looking down at Su Chen from above.

That gaze held only pure indifference.

Just like a human looking at a slightly stronger ant at their feet.

"A mere human, actually daring to act presumptuously in the Demon Court." Yingzhao's voice exploded in Su Chen's ears.

Yingzhao did not bother with words, let alone ask why Su Chen was forcing his way into the Demon Court.

He slowly raised his right hand, and at the tip of his index finger, a cyan demonic light containing the late-stage Semi-Sage wind law condensed rapidly.

Before the demonic light even fell, the ground beneath Su Chen's feet had already silently annihilated, turning into dust.

Run!

This was the first thought that flashed through Su Chen's mind.

Facing a late-stage Semi-Sage, his sixth-turn physical body, which he took pride in, had no chance of winning.

Su Chen's left hand pressed fiercely against his right arm. There was the space law mark left by Di Jiang; as long as he moved his mind and invoked the incomplete space Dao patterns on the Hunyuan Jin Dan within him, he could instantly open a channel and retreat to Mount Wuzhou.

The moment his fingertip touched the mark, Su Chen's gaze swept into the Southern Tianmen.

That golden light had already rushed to the vicinity of the Southern Tianmen.

Sun Wukong's eyes were filled with fanatical fighting spirit, rushing toward the outside.

Su Chen's finger paused.

If he activated the mark and left now, Sun Wukong would have to face the late-stage Semi-Sage Yingzhao alone.

With Sun Wukong's mid-stage Great Luo cultivation, there was no chance of survival under a law strike from a late-stage Semi-Sage, and even his true spirit would be completely wiped out.

"Forget it."

Su Chen's eyes hardened, and his left hand moved away from his right arm.

He took a deep breath, his internal Hunyuan Jin Dan spinning frantically, and the magic power of a peak Taiyi Jin Xian surged out without reservation.

"Die."

In mid-air, Yingzhao pointed down with a finger.

The cyan demonic light transformed into a wind blade that pierced the heavens, ignoring the distance of space, and appeared directly above Su Chen's head.

Where the wind blade passed, all things returned to nothingness.

Just at this critical moment.

Su Chen's hands formed seals like lightning, and a blinding black light erupted from between his brows.

"Hum!"

A nine-story pagoda, pitch-black all over and radiating an ancient and vast aura, flew out from between Su Chen's brows with a roar.

It was none other than the supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Nine Demon Pagoda!

The pagoda expanded in the wind, instantly transforming into a hundred-zhang size, suspended above Su Chen's head.

On the pagoda body, innate undying spiritual light flowed, and thick gray demonic Qi poured down like a waterfall, transforming into an absolute defensive light shield, protecting Su Chen tightly within.

"Boom—"

The cyan wind blade slashed fiercely onto the demonic Qi light shield.

Outside the Southern Tianmen, a round of light erupted that was even more dazzling than the sun.

The terrifying energy storm swept out, completely scattering the rolling cloud layers around.

The Nine Demon Pagoda trembled violently, the pagoda body emitting a dull hum.

Su Chen, who was under the pagoda, felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Although the supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure blocked most of the attack, the law shock of the late-stage Semi-Sage still passed through the light shield.

Su Chen groaned, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted.

The chaotic glazed-colored skin on his body instantly cracked with countless fine blood marks, and cracks seemed to appear on his dark gold bones.

"Hold on for me!"

Su Chen gritted his teeth, his spinal dragon frantically pumping chaotic blood and Qi, the Five Elements channels within the three hundred and sixty-five internal heavens operating under overload, desperately offloading the destructive power pouring into his body.

His legs sank deeply into the remaining jade foundation, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, yet he held on to this strike, not retreating half a step!

In mid-air, a flash of extreme astonishment crossed Yingzhao's eyes.

His strike, which was enough to kill a peak Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian in seconds, had actually been blocked by a human Taiyi Jin Xian?

"Little brother!"

Just as the light faded slightly, a wild roar came from inside the Southern Tianmen.

Sun Wukong swept away the last few demon soldiers attempting to block him with his staff, transformed into a golden light, and rushed directly out of the Southern Tianmen.

He saw at a glance Su Chen standing in the ruins, covered in blood but holding up a black pagoda tightly.

Sun Wukong's eye sockets turned red instantly, his speed increasing again, diving into the range of the demonic Qi protection dropped by the Nine Demon Pagoda like a meteor.

"Bang!"

Sun Wukong landed beside Su Chen, his foot shattering the gravel on the ground.

He turned his head, looking at the blood at the corner of Su Chen's mouth, the veins on his hands gripping the Ruyi Jingu Bang bulging.

"You really dared to come." Sun Wukong grinned, revealing his sharp teeth, but his voice was trembling slightly.

Su Chen raised his hand to wipe away the blood at the corner of his mouth and let out a long breath.

He turned to look at Sun Wukong, pulling out a somewhat pale smile: "You are here, how could I not come."

The two brothers stood under the Nine Demon Pagoda, facing the Semi-Sage Demon Sage in mid-air.

Violent demonic Qi and chaotic blood and Qi intertwined, fighting spirit boiling. ===== CHAPTER 372 =====
