Chapter 73: Take the Initiative, Hunt the Chaos Demon God!

Those few figures swaying uncertainly in the void,

Like candles in the wind, they could go out at any moment.

Sun Wukong's gaze, however, was like ten-thousand-year-old profound ice,

Fixed firmly upon the tallest demon god phantom leading them.

It's him!

That lofty attitude, treating all things as ants,

As if he himself were heavenly law, the disgusting flavor of rules!

He's practically carved from the same mold as that Yuanshi old coot!

Turns out, the root is here!

The so-called Time-devouring Beast trap is merely a mousetrap they casually set up.

What they're waiting for is either the Master, or… someone reckless enough to barge in like me!

Having realized this, the coldness on Sun Wukong's face slowly melted.

In its place arose a near‑mad, blood‑thirsty grin!

He bared his mouth; his stark white teeth, lit by the chaos glow, looked especially ferocious.

"Heh… hehehe…"

The laughter was low, brimming with uncontainable excitement!

Take a beating passively?

Wait for the enemy to come knocking?

That's never been the style of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!

You don't like hiding behind the scenes, looking down on the show, do you?

Then this old Sun will drag each of you out of that dark dog‑hole, one by one!

Seeing those few phantoms begin to fade as the laws subside,

they grow ever more hazy, about to vanish completely.

Sun Wukong's eyes blazed with divine light!

"Want to run?"

"Too late!"

His inner primordial holy power fused violently with the time origin he had just devoured!

His pair of Fiery Golden Eyes underwent a strange change at this moment!

Deep within the golden pupils,

it seemed as if countless fine silver runes were whirling rapidly, forming an unfathomably mysterious disk!

Time law!

He forcibly stirred this still‑raw power,

yet incredibly domineering force, not for attack but—for positioning!

In his field of view, the entire chaotic world changed!

No longer a dull gray expanse.

but made up of countless lines, bright or dim, thick or thin!

That is karma!

Every existence, every thing, possesses its own karmic thread.

At this moment, his gaze locked precisely onto that phantom of the Jiemie Demon God about to dissipate!

From that phantom extended a barely perceptible,

black thread exuding deathly silence, stretching toward the unknown depths of chaos!

Found it!

It's you!

"Leave something for this old Sun!"

Sun Wukong let out a low roar, giving the opponent no chance to react!

He brought down his Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff hard upon the void before him!

No target!

No enemy!

What he smashed was the chaos itself!

"Boom——!!!"

Chaos, struck by that blow, was torn open into a huge hole!

Space, like a shattered mirror, frenziedly collapsed inward!

And Sun Wukong's figure, without pause, turned into a golden stream of light,

following the karmic line he had forcibly anchored with time law, he plunged headfirst into that shattered void!

He now resembled a shark that has smelled blood!

In the endless sea of chaos, toward the prey daring to provoke him,

he launched the most frantic, reckless pursuit!

He wants this bunch of sneaky rats to understand, with their bones and souls, one thing!

What the outcome of scheming against his master and disciple will be!

……

Chaos Realm has no years.

In the dark depths, an unfathomable billions of li away from that time vortex.

Here is a true void.

No light, no sound, even the laws are so thin as to be almost nonexistent.

Only a temple built from nameless black giant bones floats silently.

Inside the temple, several massive wills exuding terrifying aura ripple within the divine thought space.

"Trash! That Time‑Devouring Beast! It couldn't even handle a single primordial Living Being, and it got counter‑killed!"

A will saturated with brutality and destruction roars madly.

"Silent Extinction Lord, this matter is suspicious!

The Primordial Source feedback of the Time‑Devouring Beast, at its final moment, felt the 'Fear Heart Demon'!"

Another voice, sharp and cold, was one of the demon gods that had previously observed Sun Wukong through the law's water mirror.

"Fear Heart Demon?"

The will called Silent Extinction, the leading demon god that Sun Wukong saw in the phantom, finally spoke.

His voice showed no emotional fluctuation, cold as the oldest stubborn stone in the Chaos Realm.

"A creation of law, speaking of Fear Heart Demon?"

"It's true, Lord! It has been 'contaminated' by a power it cannot comprehend!

That power seems... related to 'humanity'!"

"Humanity?"

In the Silent Extinction demon god's voice, a hint of scornful sneer finally appeared.

"That fragile, chaotic, despicable thing, you call it power?"

"But... that monkey, not only didn't die,

it also swallowed the Time‑Devouring Beast's Primordial Source, grasping the very skin of the time law!"

With those words, the entire divine thought space fell into Deathly Silence for an instant.

Even the brutal will ceased its roar.

Counter‑killing the undying Time‑Devouring Beast?

And snatching its Primordial Source?

What kind of monster is this primordial monkey?!

At that moment!

The Silent Extinction demon god, who had been seated upon the temple's highest throne,

its massive, mountain‑like black silhouette suddenly quivered!

Its eyes, seeming to contain the Universe's birth and death, snapped open!

Two solid‑like black divine rays pierced the temple's dome, shooting into the endless darkness!

"What's the matter, Lord?"

The other demon gods all sensed unease.

The Silent Extinction demon god gave no reply.

He merely lifted his head slowly, his gaze seeming to pierce the Chaos Realm's void across billions of li,

and saw the Jīnsè guāngdiǎt frantically chasing forward.

He felt...

a ferocious, overbearing, unmasked murderous intent,

like a red‑hot branding iron, scorching his karmic thread!

That monkey!

He somehow followed that soon‑fading projection, Suǒdìng his true form in reverse!

He is not fleeing!

He is... hunting!

"He has discovered us!"

The Silent Extinction demon god's voice remained cold,

yet tinged with an uncontrollable, ant‑provoked fury!

"What?!"

"Impossible! We are separated by billions of li of Chaos Realm void!"

"How did he manage that?!"

The other demon gods all exploded!

This completely exceeds their realm of comprehension!

"It's like an ant on the ground; because you looked at it,"

it follows your gaze and crawls straight onto your face!

This is no longer absurd, but terrifying!

The Silent Extinction demon god slowly rose.

His massive body made the entire temple tremble.

The contempt and playfulness in his eyes vanished completely.

In their place was pure, Abyss‑like cold murderous intent!

"Well timed!"

His voice echoed in the god hall, each word seeming able to freeze the divine soul.

"An ant that dares to wield its pincers at the spirits,

although it is still an ant, … it has finally become somewhat interesting."

So we won't have to waste time looking for him again.

He turned his body, looking down at the several demon gods beneath his seat who had already fallen into shock.

In an indisputable tone, he issued the command.

"Deploy the 'Myriad Laws Return to Silence Grand Formation'."

Upon hearing that name, the several chaotic demon gods all trembled,

the shock in their eyes instantly turning into ruthless ecstasy!

Myriad Laws Return to Silence Grand Formation!

That is the strongest killing formation they have ever deployed since following the Jiemie Demon God!

Once this formation is unleashed, all myriad laws fall silent, and every divine ability becomes illusory!

No matter if you have a sanctified flesh or command time laws!

Within the great formation, everything will be beaten back to its original form, returning to the most primitive particles!

"Yes, my lord!"

"Hehehe… that monkey will pay the price for his arrogance!"

"Let him see what true power of the chaotic demon god is!"

In an instant.

The entire black god hall, together with the surrounding billions of miles of chaos void, began to operate silently.

A woven net formed from the purest "Silent Extinction" laws,

an invisible heavenly net and earthly net, is silently unfolding.

Waiting only for that reckless creature that rushes headlong in… the prey!
