Chapter 72: Kill the little ones, take the old

Sun Wukong's "Thank you for the hospitality,"

His vigor was full, brimming with unabashed arrogance and exhilaration.

His voice carried far through the silent Chaos Realm.

He stretched his muscles, feeling the brand‑new power within his body,

He felt his understanding of this Chaotic World deepened another layer.

If before, he saw this world through a layer of frosted glass.

Now, that glass has already been wiped clean by his own hand, at least a patch.

He can even vaguely sense that, as long as he wishes,

a shift of thought can make the flow of time within a foot around him slow by a hair.

Though it's only a hair, and the range is only a foot.

But this is "Time"!

It is one of the supreme laws that supersede the vast majority of other laws!

This means he now possesses a powerful trump card no one could have imagined!

"Hehehe…"

Sun Wukong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

These guys who hide their heads and show their tails are truly good people!

They schemed endlessly to set a trap for him,

but not only failed to kill him, they instead gave him this newbie gift package.

How can one argue with that?

However.

Sun Wukong does not know.

Just as the Time‑devouring Beast completely fell,

the instant the Time Primordial Source was devoured by him to the last.

At an unknown distance of billions of li from here, in a deeper, darker Deep Chaos.

Several massive wills, like ancient divine mountains, exuding a terrifying aura, trembled together!

"What's happening? The Primordial Source aura of the Time‑devouring Beast… vanished?"

A wildly brutal will let out an incredulous roar.

His voice, like the collapse of countless worlds, raised towering waves in their divine‑mind space.

"Impossible! The Time‑devouring Beast is born of the Chaos Realm,

immortal and indestructible, only to be sealed; how could it die?"

Another will, with a sharp edge, retorted,

"Dead! It's dead!"

A cold voice sounded, bearing an uncontrollable shock.

"The Silent Extinction mark I left in its Primordial Source can no longer be sensed at all!"

"Not only dead… its final feedback is… it was 'polluted'!"

"Pollution?"

"Yes! By something… it cannot comprehend,

cannot devour, and even… feels 'Fear Heart Demon'!"

These words silenced all the massive wills.

The atmosphere became exceedingly solemn.

A rule‑monster that lives by devouring actually feels Fear Heart Demon?

This is simply the biggest joke since the opening of Chaos!

"That primordial monkey…"

After a long while, that cold voice sounded again,

this time, his voice carried a hint of trembling.

"He not only didn't die in the Time‑devouring Beast's stomach…"

"He even turned around and devoured the Beast's Primordial Source!"

"He… he has seized the surface of the Time law!"

"What?!"

This time, even the most brutal will let out a shout!

A mere primordial Living Being, which to them is just a mud loach that jumped out of a remote little pond.

Yet, within such a short time, it repeatedly shattered their understanding!

First it ignored the Beast's memory devouring,

now it even counter‑killed this monster that even they found troublesome, and seized its Primordial Source!

This can no longer be explained by "luck"!

"This child… what is its origin?"

"There is something strange about him! Something big strange!"

"We must immediately report to Master 'Silent Extinction'! This child's threat has already exceeded our control!"

"Yes! Report everything that happened here, verbatim…"

The cold voice, before finishing its words, suddenly halted.

Because he was horrified to discover, due to the fall of the Time‑devouring Beast,

the laws of that region underwent violent collisions and collapse.

The law water mirror they used for remote observation,

unexpectedly resonated in a strange way with that collapsed space‑time!

Their images were projected outward!

…

At the same time.

Sun Wukong's side.

After slaying the Time‑devouring Beast,

the surrounding twisted chaotic time turbulence gradually subsided.

In the void, because of the violent collisions of the laws, energy surged incessantly.

Unexpectedly, a few vague projections appeared before Sun Wukong.

Like a mirage in the desert, yet like a reflection in water, drifting unpredictably.

But those silhouettes, though vague,

each emitted a terrifying aura that would make a Saint shudder!

It was a pure, ancient demon god's oppressive might that towered above all Living Beings!

They seemed to be discussing something intensely,

unaware that their images had already been projected in front of the target they were discussing.

Sun Wukong's Smile gradually faded.

His Fiery Golden Eyes instantly Suǒdìng the few silhouettes.

Especially… the one at the forefront!

That silhouette was the most solid and the tallest.

With one hand he bore a rear, and with the other he held a black long banner.

On that long banner there were no runes, no luster,

just pure darkness, as if it could swallow all laws of the world, returning them to eternal silence.

A terrifying aura of "All Laws Return to Silence" spread from that long banner.

What caught Sun Wukong's attention even more was the Dao Rhythm emanating from that silhouette!

That lofty aura, treating all things as mere dogs,

as if everything in the world should obey the rules he set, a cold Dao Rhythm that tolerates no "aberrations"!

He is all too familiar!

Back then on Kunlun Mountain.

The Primordial Venerable, who had been beaten by him with his Master's broom, rolling in a mess on the ground, exuded this very aura!

Exactly the same!

However, the aura on this silhouette before him is billions of times older than that of the Primordial Venerable!

And it is billions of times more powerful!

If the Primordial Venerable is a stubborn stone in the mountains,

then this silhouette is the… Mount Buzhou that upholds the entire heavens!

Yet their Primordial Source, that core Dao Rhythm, shares about seventy‑to‑eighty percent similarity!

A thought flashed through Sun Wukong's mind instantly.

Relative?

Or perhaps… the Primordial Venerable,

is merely an insignificant projection of this being before him, or… a degenerated replica of countless generations?

"So… it's you!"

Sun Wukong grinned, his stark white teeth reflecting cold light in the Chaos Realm.

He finally understood!

Why the Primordial Venerable holds such a great prejudice against the demon race!

Why he would disregard a Saint's face and strike at himself!

The root is here!

These Chaotic Demon Gods have despised these primeval Living Beings from the start!

And Sun Wukong, a born stone monkey,

a "fur‑clad, horned" aberration in their eyes, now has become a climate, and still aims to become Lord of the Three Realms.

In their view, this breaks the rules! It is a great rebellion!

Bone City are their people!

This trap was also set by them!

Those who pursued Master are certainly them!

Everything is linked!

The true enemy finally revealed its lofty… one side!

Sun Wukong slowly raised the Golden Cudgel in his hand.

The staff points toward that vague yet immensely imposing silhouette ahead.

On his face, there is no anger, no fear.

Only when encountering a worthy opponent in chess does one finally find the excitement of meeting the true master…!

Hey…

「Is he a relative of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable? 」

「Very good! 」

「I, Old Sun, just love beating up you self‑important folks! 」

「Wait! 」

「Wash your neck clean and wait for me, Old Sun! 」

「Your maternal grandfather Sun… will be here right away! 」
