It’s me! Jiutou Chong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ming’s gaze swept over Jiutou Chong, his brow slightly furrowed, then settled on the young man in blue robes beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Chen’s face, Xuan Ming instantly retracted his aura and signaled the other four to withdraw their pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s Brother Su Chen,” Xuan Ming stepped forward, bowing respectfully with a courteous tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four Luo Jinxian also nodded in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiutou Chong stood to the side, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew these five elders—when he trained on the island, they had been distant, untouchable figures he could barely hope to meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, facing Su Chen, they bowed to him, treating him as an equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen returned the bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Xuan Ming, what’s happened on the island?” Su Chen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ming glanced at Jiutou Chong, then back at Su Chen, explaining, “Brother Su Chen, you’re unaware—our new Demon Emperor is in seclusion within the hall, at the most critical stage. Master Bai Ze ordered the Array sealed, forbidding entry or exit to avoid disturbing the Emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“New Demon Emperor?” Jiutou Chong’s face filled with shock at those four words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had the demonic race gained a new Demon Emperor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long had he been away from the island?

Brother Su Chen, please follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group passed through the Array and entered Demon Emperor Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere within was even more deadly than outside—tens of thousands of elite demonic warriors, clad in armor and armed with weapons, stood guard at every array node.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ming led Su Chen straight toward the Demon Saint Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Demon Saint Hall, Bai Ze stood in a white robe, hands clasped behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had clearly sensed Su Chen’s arrival, his face wearing a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Su Chen, many years have passed—your cultivation has grown even more unfathomable,” Bai Ze’s gaze settled on Su Chen, a flicker of awe in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense a terrifying power within Su Chen, one that even he found heart-stopping—power far beyond that of a Luo Jinxian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen stepped forward and bowed: “Master Bai Ze, you flatter me. I’ve come to inquire about Brother Monkey’s condition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ze stroked his beard, turning to gaze at the massive palace at the island’s center, shrouded in layers of golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Demon Emperor entered the Demon Emperor Hall, passed the will trial left by Emperor Jun, and fully merged with the Demon Emperor’s primordial source,” Bai Ze’s voice trembled with suppressed excitement. “Now, he is within the hall striving to reach the True Saint realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen followed Bai Ze’s gaze—the obsidian-built Demon Emperor Hall now radiated astonishing energy fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems Brother Monkey truly gained much,” Su Chen nodded. “With his foundation, once he enters the True Saint realm, his combat power will be unmatched among peers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen had long sought a primordial spiritual treasure to protect Sun Wukong—yet here, Brother Monkey had acquired one himself on this island, and even used it to sever his shadow and attain enlightenment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground at the island’s center shuddered violently; then, a blinding dark-gold pillar of light erupted from the top of the Demon Emperor Hall, shooting straight into the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature around the Demon Emperor Hall soared to an unimaginable extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air warped from heat; seawater along the island’s edge boiled en masse, rising into a skyward veil of white mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the pillar, the Sun True Fire raged wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the heart of that endless fire, a wild, defiant, lawless aura exploded forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal demonic ape silhouette materialized in the flames, roaring to the heavens, pounding its chest with its arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wore a robe woven from Sun True Fire, its golden pupils burning with fierce, battle-hungry zeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This aura surpassed the Luo Jinxian limit, entering the True Saint realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pressure spread from the Demon Emperor Hall, sweeping across the entire Demon Emperor Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The island’s elite demonic warriors, under this pressure, involuntarily knelt, trembling all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not fear—it was submission rooted deep in their bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems the Demon Emperor has succeeded!” Bai Ze watched the demonic ape clad in imperial robes, laughing heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears streamed down his face—after countless eons of waiting, the demonic race had finally welcomed its sovereign once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen gazed at the demonic ape silhouette, a genuine smile spreading across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Monkey’s breakthrough to True Saint meant their side’s top-tier combat strength had risen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic ape silhouette hovered in midair for a moment, then sharply contracted, transforming into a streak of golden light that reentered the Demon Emperor Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skyward Sun True Fire receded; the terrifying True Saint pressure vanished; the island returned to stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gates of the Demon Emperor Hall remained shut—Sun Wukong was clearly still stabilizing his newly attained realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ze calmed his excited emotions, turning to Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, the day the Demon Emperor emerges from seclusion will be the day our demonic race is reborn!” Bai Ze’s gaze burned. “You’ve arrived at the perfect moment—when he emerges, we shall drink for three days!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Monkey’s breakthrough is indeed great news,” Su Chen said, his tone turning grave. “But Master Bai Ze, I’ve come with a matter of grave importance concerning the demonic race’s old grievances—I must discuss it with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-06-21T05:42:12.148Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b5df70f7f67edaf87aa1f06714b80da8e4cf52557604d4921d3f70d889860285","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-452","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-450",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
