Chapter 75: Frustrated! The Great Sage fights, only to be treated like a monkey‑tamer!

Divine powers are useless!

Spells are sealed!

Since Sun Wukong's debut, this is the first time he has felt what "strength with nowhere to use it" truly means.

That feeling is just like all his weapons,

have been confiscated by the enemy, leaving only a pair of empty fists.

But so what?

He, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong, is the strongest!

It has never been those flashy divine powers!

But this body, which leapt out of a chaotic stubborn stone,

tempered in the Bāguà Lú and further refined by the Primordial Source of the Chaos Demon Ape into an unparalleled flesh!

And this Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff in his hand, which can defeat any opponent across the Three Realms…!

"Very good!"

Sun Wukong does not get angry but laughs, his laughter filled with wild madness!

"Since we can't play with flowers, old Sun here will play the most direct way with you!"

"Today, I'll let you see what true… power really is!"

Before the words even finish!

Sun Wukong channels all the stagnant mixed primordial holy power within his body,

no longer trying to activate any divine powers, but pours it without reservation entirely into his limbs and bones!

Infusing it into the Golden Cudgel in his hand!

Boom!!!

An essence of ultimate purity, ultimate arrogance, and ultimate savagery erupted skyward from him!

His feet kicked forcefully into the void, and the space beneath him shattered instantly!

His whole body turned into a golden cannonball,

forsaking all fancy moves and techniques,

and, in the most primitive, most barbaric way, he barreled straight at the Jiemie Demon God!

The Golden Cudgel in his hand became his most brutal weapon,

raised high, emitting a screech that tore everything, and smashed down fiercely!

This strike carries no divine power enhancement.

Yet within it lies the entirety of his mid‑stage Golden Immortal mixed primordial power!

It is a pure, physical, destructive force capable of smashing an entire vast world back into Chaos Realm!

Facing this savage blow, the Jiemie Demon God's face finally withdrew that contempt.

Although it can restrain Sun Wukong's divine powers with the "All Methods Return to Silence Banner", it is not a fool.

It can clearly feel how terrifying the power attached to that staff is!

A hard block?

Only a fool would do that!

Seeing that golden Divine Iron about to smash onto its own head,

the Jiemie Demon God's figure, like a reflection in water, swayed lightly and vanished on the spot.

In the next instant, it appeared to Sun Wukong's left.

"Boom—!!!"

Sun Wukong's strike slammed into empty air!

The aftershock of the savage power turned a distant massive star fragment into cosmic dust in an instant!

"Quick reaction!"

Sun Wukong's blow missed, yet he showed no hint of discouragement,

a twist of his wrist sent the Golden Cudgel sweeping like a thousand armies, again slashing at the Jiemie Demon God!

The Jiemie Demon God reused its old technique, again relying on the strange law power of the Black Banner to dodge effortlessly.

"You only know how to run around like a stray dog?"

Sun Wukong roared, his attacks raging like a storm, one staff strike after another!

Chop!

Smash!

Sweep!

Lunge!

For a moment, the entire dead silent star region became his solo stage!

The golden staff shadow covered the sky and blocked the sun!

The savage power made the entire "All Methods Return to Silence" domain begin to quake violently!

Countless star fragments, in the wake of this savage attack, were destroyed and erased one after another!

However, what made Sun Wukong feel extremely aggrieved was!

Every strike he made was with his full strength!

Each of his attacks was enough to make a Saint shudder!

Yet… they still missed!

That damned Jiemie Demon God was like a slippery eel that never gives a grip!

Relying on the pole's bizarre ability, he constantly dodged and shifted within the gaps of his own attacks.

He even had spare time to trigger the black Returning‑to‑Quiet divine light, continuously wearing down Sun Wukong's holy power.

For a moment, the two fought on equal footing!

Sun Wukong's attacks, though supremely domineering,

still could not inflict any substantive damage on the Jiemie Demon God.

And although the Jiemie Demon God's law was bizarre and unfathomable,

it likewise could not pierce Sun Wukong's monstrously overbearing Chaos Monkey flesh!

The more Sun Wukong fought, the more suffocated he felt inside!

That feeling was unbearably painful!

He felt like a hulking, strength‑filled man, wildly attacking a lump of cotton!

Each punch was thrown with the force of a newborn!

Yet each punch was lightly deflected, or simply hit empty space!

That sense of power with nowhere to apply it, each punch landing empty, drove him almost mad!

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

Sun Wukong roared while wildly swinging his Golden Cudgel.

No!

Can't keep going like this!

The opponent's law power seemed endless, while his own holy power kept being drained!

With one weakening as the other grows, defeat is inevitable!

He must devise a way to restrict his movements!

Even if only for an instant!

If just for an instant, he could be sure to smash him into pulp!

An instant…

A flash of insight lit Sun Wukong's mind!

Time!

He had just gleaned a sliver of the Time Law's surface from the Primordial Source of that time‑devouring beast!

Although still raw, it was enough to slow the flow of time within a foot around him by a fraction!

As long as he could make that guy's movements slow by that tiny fraction… that would be enough!

Thinking this, a divine light flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes!

He deliberately showed a flaw, appearing exhausted, slowing his cudgel swing by a beat.

The Jiemie Demon God indeed fell for it, thinking his strength waned, and did not immediately create distance,

instead choosing close range, attempting to use the Returning‑to‑Quiet divine light to inflict greater damage.

Now!

Sun Wukong roared within his heart!

He forcibly activated, within his Original Spirit, the still‑undigested Source Power of Time!

"Steady!"

An invisible, profound force that surpasses all laws instantly enveloped the nearby Jiemie Demon God!

Sun Wukong even raised his Golden Cudgel, ready to unleash that thunderous, ten‑thousand‑ton lethal strike!

However!

Buzz—

That black pole of the All‑Law Returning‑to‑Quiet banner quivered lightly again without warning!

A more domineering, older "Jiemie" law instantly burst forth!

The Time Law Sun Wukong had just deployed was like a pebble tossed into the sea,

though it raised a slight ripple, it was instantly wholly swallowed and assimilated by the boundless "Jiemie" sea!

The Jiemie Demon God's movement paused for just a heartbeat.

A moment less than one percent of a breath!

Then, he returned to normal!

And that brief pause made him break out in cold sweat!

He abruptly retreated, creating tens of thousands of li of distance, staring at Sun Wukong with a bewildered, uncertain expression!

Time Law?!

This monkey actually controls the Time Law?!

Damn!

Almost capsized in the gutter!

And Sun Wukong was left completely stunned in place.

His final trump card… also failed!

Although not entirely null, its effect was weakened by that broken flag pole by over 99%!

It could not truly fix the opponent!

Seeing Sun Wukong's dejected look, the Jiemie Demon God, while still fearful, became completely composed!

He could be 100% certain that this monkey had exhausted all tricks!

He looked at Sun Wukong, his face once again showing that cat‑playing‑mouse kind of mockery.

"Monkey, is this all the skill you have?"

"All you can do is swing your club here like a brainless beast?"

"Truly… you disappoint me immensely."

The Jiemie Demon God spoke while subtly observing Sun Wukong's reaction.

He saw through it.

This monkey, though his strength is absurdly great, his flesh is also unnaturally tough.

However, his Dao Heart does not seem as invulnerable as he appears.

In his divine perception, this monkey's Dao Heart,

seems tightly linked to a name.

That name is… Bodhi!

That's the "Void" on the wanted list!

Between them is a master‑disciple relationship.

A thought, like a poisonous snake, silently surfaced in the Jiemie Demon God's mind.

Since strength cannot completely crush…

Then, attack the heart!

His eyes flicked, and a cruel smile curled at his mouth.

He suddenly widened the distance between himself and Sun Wukong,

pulling to a range he deemed absolutely safe.

Then, he summoned all his demon‑god power toward Sun Wukong,

letting out a roar saturated with "Truth" and endless malice!

"You foolish monkey! Still fighting desperately for your Master?!"

"Aren't you curious about your all‑powerful Master,

why he would watch you blindly as you crash headfirst into the trap we set?!"

"Does he not know there's a Time‑Eating Beast here? Does he not know there's a Ten Thousand Methods Returning to Silence Array here?!"

"He knows! He knows everything!"

"He deliberately sent you here to die!!"
