Chapter 66: First Drop of Blood in the Chaos Realm, I Am Qi Tian!

Bone City resembled a colossal beast that had slept for a thousand years, tranquil yet mysterious.

Deep within the city, a bone‑chilling White Bone Temple lay hidden.

Compared with the outside world, the light here appeared unusually dim,

as if swallowed by endless darkness, only the blazing ghostly blue Línghún fire on either side of the throne

wavered like a phantom, barely illuminating this gloomy place.

Above the throne, constructed from countless indescribable massive divine and demonic skeletons,

sat a figure—'Bone Sovereign'. His body was not particularly massive,

and compared to ordinary Chaos Realm living beings, it was somewhat slender.

Yet the aura emanating from him was uniquely distinct:

It was a Deathly Silence atmosphere, forged over endless ages, viewing all worldly things as fleeting clouds.

The aura was like a heavy shackle, pressing the breath from people, even the entire temple's space seemed to solidify because of it.

In front of the Bone Sovereign, a crystal‑clear water mirror silently materialized.

The mirror was not a physical object, but a manifestation formed purely by the power of law.

Through its surface, one could clearly see a soul‑stirring scene:

A figure clad in Golden Armor holy garb leapt without hesitation into a violently churning, chaotic vortex.

Undoubtedly, this person was the famed Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong!

At this moment, he charged recklessly toward the pre‑set deadly trap…

"Heh......" accompanied by a low, grating voice,

sounding like two dry bones scraping together,

breaking the silence.

The sound came from a dark corner behind the throne, as if endless secrets and dangers lurked there.

"He has already stepped into it," the mysterious voice revealed an unabashed contempt,

seeming eager for what was about to happen. "This extremely foolish primordial barbarian,

has been so easily seen through the most basic disguise."

"The time cage set by the 'Time‑Eating Beast' will give him a deeply engraved lesson,

making him profoundly realize that the Chaos Realm is not a place for wanton recklessness." The Bone Sovereign, seated on the throne, slowly lifted his head.

However, because his face was completely shrouded in heavy shadows,

others could not discern his true visage, only the eyes sunk deep in their sockets,

glimmering with a Línghún fire darker and deeper than the bottomless Abyss,

quietly flickering, like two distant cold stars in the night sky.

"This is not mere ignorance, but arrogance born of excessive pride,"

Bone Sovereign's tone was as steady as dead water, without any fluctuation, as if merely objectively describing an unrelated event.

"After all, for those creatures that have long been confined to a small corner,

once they suddenly encounter a vastly broader world and consider themselves to possess a trivial amount of power,

they easily become contemptuous and overbearing."

However... his tone slightly shifted, yet his gaze remained as calm as water.

"But this has nothing to do with us at all,"

He added lightly, as if the matter was hardly worth mentioning.

Then, without haste, he tossed out a bombshell:

"Know this, this is a decree personally issued by the Jiemie Demon God himself!"

Before the words finished, the entire space seemed to shudder.

Especially when hearing the thunderous words "Jiemie Demon God",

even the mysterious figure behind the throne who had produced the hoarse voice,

could not help but show a trace of unmistakable astonishment.

Though it was fleeting, sharp eyes caught it.

It was a fear and awe that rose from the deepest core of the soul.

Yet the Bone Sovereign remained unmoved, as steady as a mountain sculpture.

He slowly spoke, his tone as even as a placid lake:

"So, this ignorant little monkey, only has two paths to take.

The first is to meekly accept fate, honestly crawl into the trap meticulously set by the 'Time‑Eating Beast',

then die miserably, becoming a trivial speck of nourishment in the endless void; as for the second…"

The soul fire in his eyes flickered slightly.

"It shows... the worth for the Jiemie Demon God to personally intervene and 'Jiemie' him."

"We are merely the ones who open the cage door and drive the prey inside."

"That's all..." The shadow behind the throne, as if cloaked by an unseen force,

stood quietly. As time ticked by second by second, the whole space seemed to solidify,

only that hoarse, low voice echoed through the silence.

Finally, after a long silence, the voice sounded again:

"I understand..." Those three simple words carried endless depth and complex emotion.

It felt like a release, also an acceptance of some ending, yet mostly an inexpressible loneliness and helplessness.

At the same time, the water mirror that had been reflecting a clear scene now began to ripple with faint ripples.

As Sun Wukong's figure gradually merged into the massive vortex and finally vanished completely,

the image in the water mirror also receded like the tide, until it turned into nothingness.

The entire White Bone Temple fell once again into that eternally unchanging Deathly Silence atmosphere,

as if the thrilling battle that had just occurred had never existed.

The surroundings remained quiet and soundless, only the faint fluctuations lingering in the air still allowed one to vaguely feel the reverberating aftershocks of the recent fierce battle.

……

Boom—!!! The deafening roar seemed to tear the very space apart, making one's eardrums ache.

At this very moment, Sun Wukong was in this bizarre and unfathomably mysterious passage,

speeding through at an astonishing pace! Unlike before,

the environment he now occupies has undergone earth‑shattering changes.

The place that should have been filled with Chaos Realm void has now turned into countless shards of time Debris!

These time Debris are like shattered mirrors, scattered in every corner,

they are as sharp as blades, ruthlessly slicing past Sun Wukong!

Even more terrifying, each fragment seems to contain a chaotic segment of temporal information:

Sometimes it is the breathtaking instant when a brand‑new world is first born;

Other times it is the desperate wail emitted as an ancient civilization approaches its extinction…

One can imagine that if it were an ordinary cultivator or even a slightly weaker Quasi‑Saint,

they would likely be powerless before this ferocious, unmatched temporal force,

and might be torn into countless fragments in the blink of an eye, completely dissipating into Heaven and Earth!

Yet faced with such a terrifying sight, Sun Wukong's face remained unchanged and his heart unflinching; he paid no heed to the imminent danger!

He didn't even activate any protective divine technique!

He simply let those time Debris slam violently against his Chaotic Demon God body!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The crisp, resonant strikes rang out like thunder from Jiǔtiān, echoing through Heaven and Earth!

Each collision generated massive energy surges that seemed to tear the entire world apart!

These terrifying attacks, formed by the convergence of countless time Debris, possessed a power beyond imagination,

they could easily annihilate any Quasi‑Saint, yet at this moment they seemed as ineffective as striking an indestructible wall.

Sun Wukong stood firm in the void, allowing the rain‑like barrage of time Debris to rage,

he remained as steady as Mount Tai, unmoving. Those fragments that should have pierced all things,

the moment they touched his body, they hit an incredibly hard steel plate,

leaving not even a speck of white mark,

instead, his god‑defying, formidable flesh crushed them, turning them into fine dust that drifted away.

The scene was so awe‑inspiring that people couldn't help but be flabbergasted!

And at this moment, Sun Wukong felt a flood of emotions: this feeling was truly wonderful!

Such overwhelming power, such invincible flesh,

made him feel an unprecedented boldness and confidence!

At the same time, a surging battle spirit rose from deep within, burning hot like an erupting volcano!

Like a volcano that had been building for billions of years, it erupted with a thunderous blast at this moment!

What flashed through his mind was neither danger nor fear.

Instead it was Master's hastily drawn paper crane—"Come quickly, there's a trap."

Instead it was the blinding wanted notice over Bone City, offering a bounty across the vast world!

Master was fiercely battling the enemy!

Master, alone, stood within this Chaos World brimming with endless danger and mysterious forces,

like a war god descending, he fought valiantly, nothing could stand in his way!

Each sword swing carried the force of thunder, and every step he took caused the heavens and earth to tremble!

And those mighty beings called Chaotic Demon Gods,

faced with Master's fierce onslaught, they were helpless and fled in terror!

They once were arrogant and awe‑inspiring, but now Master beat them into a pitiful, disheveled mess, soiling themselves and fleeing in utter disgrace!

As Master's prized disciple, how could I ever show weakness?!

Recalling the long five hundred years of spring and autumn, I was trapped beneath Wǔxíng Shān,

enduring countless bouts of excruciating pain from the tightening headband…

Yet it was those hard days that taught me the arduousness of the cultivation path,

and deep gratitude for Master's kindness.

Therefore, no matter how great the obstacles today,

I will give my all to help Master defeat these formidable foes!

Having finally attained the Dao and become a saint, overturning the Heavenly Court and flattening Ling Shan, I thought there were no rivals within the Three Realms.

But I didn't expect that invincibility was only because the pond was too small!

Now, it finally leapt out!

It plunged into this boundless, darker, and more exhilarating Sea of Chaos!

Here, true strong opponents await!

Here, there is finally a stage where he can let loose and fight a great battle!

It is not only to save his master that Sun Wukong has come here!

He is also here to proclaim!

Toward all the hidden, ancient, self‑important powerful beings lurking in this boundless chaos, he proclaims!

The primordial wasteland is not your backyard to covet at will!

My master is not something you can casually put a bounty on!

He, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong, has arrived!

"Boom——!"

The space ahead suddenly opened up!

He burst out of the passage filled with time debris!

Before him appeared a colossal, twisted, chaotic vortex too vast to describe in words!

The whole vortex showed an eerie gray‑white hue.

At the vortex's center, the law of time had completely collapsed, forming an absolute "nothing."

And at the vortex's edge, countless huge spatial rifts,

like the mouth of a giant beast, opening and closing, devouring and spewing violent chaotic energy.

This is the core of the trap!

It is the lair of the Time‑Eating Beast!

Sun Wukong's fiery golden eyes could even see, deep within the vortex,

a terrifying monster whose size rivals a star system, covered in countless compound eyes,

its body formed from flowing temporal power, slowly opening its eyes!

A greedy, bloodthirsty, tyrannical will instantly locked onto Sun Wukong!

However.

Sun Wukong did not slow in the slightest!

Instead, he gripped his golden cudgel even tighter!

The original iron rod, only as thick as a bowl's mouth, began to swell wildly under the infusion of his holy power!

One zhang!

Ten zhang!

One hundred zhang!

One thousand zhang!

Ten thousand zhang!

In the blink of an eye, the golden cudgel seemed to be given life,

rapidly expanding until it became a sky‑supporting pillar so huge its end could not be seen, as if it could pierce the entire chaotic world!

On the pillar, the originally dim golden patterns now blazed brilliantly,

like living golden dragons coiling and spiraling along its surface,

continuously releasing a terrifying power capable of destroying all things in the world!

At this moment, Sun Wukong wore a battle robe flashing with five‑colored rosy light,

his sleeves fluttering, making a hunting sound! His whole body radiated an unmatched mighty aura,

as if merging with heaven and earth, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly at his presence!

Facing this death‑forbidden zone that would make even a saint feel despair and fear,

and that ancient monstrous beast, gradually awakening from sleep and radiating endless ferocity,

Sun Wukong not only showed no hesitation, he suddenly burst into loud laughter!

His laughter shook the heavens and echoed through the clouds,

containing contempt for the enemy, confidence in his own strength,

and the intense excitement of about to plunge into a world‑shocking battle!

"You lot!"

"Hiding in the dark—what kind of ability is that!"

"All of you, wash your necks clean and wait for Old Sun!"

The voice, like chaos divine thunder, rang across this spacetime!

"Your Sun grandfather——"

"Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

"Come to send you on your way——!!!"

The words had not yet faded!

He, together with that sky‑supporting pillar‑like golden cudgel,

was like a golden meteor slicing through the ancient darkness!

Without hesitation!

He slammed straight into the temporal turbulence, that terrifying time‑eating beast!

Hard, he crashed into it!
