Chapter 241: Three Thousand Demon Gods Harass Pangu, The Ruthless One Battles the Starry Sky Alone
The night was deep.
Xuanzang, Sun Wukong, Bajie, and Heixiong were gathered together, with flames surging in the center and the Golden Cudgel standing among them.
On the surface of the Golden Cudgel, a plump and massive bear paw was being roasted.
Heixiong looked at the bear paw being seared by the fire, feeling a bit of heartache, but upon smelling that alluring fragrance, he couldn't help but drool uncontrollably.
It was too fragrant; was this really his own bear paw?
Not only him, but Bajie, that glutton, was also drooling.
Sun Wukong and Xiaobailong were doing a bit better!
At this moment, Heixiong's arm, which had been missing a bear paw, had recovered as if it were new.
With Heixiong's magic power, recovery would normally take only two or three days, but with Xuanzang's help, it took only a few breaths.
"Heixiong, your master is truly moved by your sacrifice," Xuanzang said.
"That's right, Heixiong, you silly fellow are much more sincere than Bajie," Sun Wukong laughed.
"Stinky monkey, I, Old Pig, have always been a sincere person. You are the one who is monkey-cunning," Bajie retorted, unconvinced.
Upon hearing this, Heixiongjing's eyes narrowed into slits with happiness, and he asked:
"Master, can you give that Brocade Kasaya to your disciple?"
Xuanzang said heroically: "How can a mere Kasaya compare to a good disciple? Once the Scripture Seeking is finished, this Kasaya shall be yours, good disciple."
Although this Brocade Kasaya possessed innate divine abilities and infinite wonderful uses, to Xuanzang, it had no real purpose and was dispensable.
Heixiong was devoted to the Buddha and loved the Kasaya, so giving it away was fine.
"Thank you, Master," Heixiong bowed deeply.
Xuanzang waved his hand with a smile, signaling that it was unnecessary, and said:
"Heixiong, you are so sincere, and since you entered the sect, your master hasn't given you any gifts."
"Today, your master is very happy and will bestow a treasure upon you."
"Master, you are too kind. I am satisfied just having the Kasaya," Heixiong said.
Just as he finished speaking, Heixiong's breathing suddenly stalled, and his bear eyes went blank.
It turned out that in the palm of Xuanzang's hand, a drop of bewitching fresh blood was floating.
This drop of Ancestral Blood emitted a pressure from the ancient times, and one could vaguely hear the sounds of Thunder roaring and the heavens collapsing and the earth shattering.
Even Wukong and Xiaobailong felt their scalps go numb.
Not only that, this drop of Ancestral Blood was filled with terrifying power, with endless energy that even a Golden Immortal would likely find hard to match.
"What is this, Master?" Heixiong asked tremblingly.
He could feel an ancient call coming from within his bloodline, a desire of immense craving!
"This item is the Chaos Demon Bear Essence Blood. Although the Chaos Demon Bear was not one of the orthodox Three Thousand Demon Gods, its strength was formidable, especially its Law of power, which was earth-shattering and not weaker than the Three Thousand Demon Gods," Xuanzang explained.
"Chaos Demon God!
"
Bajie revealed a look of shock and disbelief.
"Bajie, do you know about the Chaos Demon Gods?" Sun Wukong asked.
He had never heard of the Chaos Demon Gods; back then, the Bodhi Patriarch only taught him techniques and did not speak of things outside the Three Realms.
"I know a little bit. It is said that back then, the Great God Pangu split the Chaos with an axe, creating the world and achieving the merit of creation, wishing to attain the supreme Great Dao.
However, just as he was about to succeed, he was besieged by the Three Thousand Demon Gods in the Chaos.
The Great God Pangu was the first Demon God of the Chaos era; although he had consumed much magic power in creating the world, he still hacked most of the Demon Gods to death.
In the end, except for a very few who escaped, all Three Thousand Demon Gods died.
Afterward, the Great God Pangu exhausted his strength and transformed into the world.
Actually, our current Three Realms are much smaller than the world of that time," Bajie recounted.
"The Chaos is vast and boundless, without end. The Three Thousand Demon Gods were just representatives; how could there be only three thousand true Demon Gods?
I suppose this Chaos Demon Bear was a Demon God beyond those three thousand," Bajie continued.
"How strong are these Demon Gods?" Sun Wukong asked.
"They are truly terrifying. In the current era where no Saints appear, if a Demon God were to descend into our world, everyone might as well give up resistance," Bajie said.
"A Chaos Demon God is an existence that contended with the Great God Pangu!"
"Their average strength starts at the level of a Saint!"
"The weaker ones are at least at the Great Luo level, or even more powerful."
Bajie showed a look of awe. Although he was not a direct disciple of Laojun, all his divine abilities were taught by Laojun.
Having stayed by Laojun's side for a period of time, Bajie knew much more about the Three Realms and ancient matters than the average Immortal.
Sun Wukong touched his head, feeling as if he had been taught a lesson.
"Disciple, so this drop of Essence Blood from the Chaos Demon Bear is what your master is going to give to you," Xuanzang said.
"Master, you are just giving away something like this?" Bajie said in shock.
Although this was Chaos Demon Bear Essence Blood, if one refined and absorbed it, it would not be limited to bears!
Monkeys, pigs, and even Dragons could refine it!
"Should I give it to you, Bajie?" Xuanzang said.
"That would be too embarrassing," Bajie laughed, yet he reached out his hand.
Sun Wukong slapped away Bajie's greedy hand and said irritably: "This is a gift from Master to Junior Brother Heixiong; what are you, a fool, joining in the fun for?"
"Dead monkey!" Bajie said indignantly.
Heixiong accepted the Chaos Demon Bear Essence Blood, his massive body trembling; it was an excitement that could not be concealed.
He prostrated himself before Xuanzang, kowtowing incessantly.
Even though the ground had already been smashed to pieces, he did not stop.
This kindness was truly too great!
This stroke of fortune was also rare throughout the ages!
Heixiong asked himself, if he hadn't met his master, he might have remained a mountain spirit or wild monster his whole life; although he had some strength, he would still be a monster looked down upon by others.
But with the Chaos Demon Bear Essence Blood, it was different; as long as he fused with the Ancestral Blood, he could be reborn and even pursue the peak of the Great Dao.
"Alright, stop kowtowing. This bear paw is already cooked through; if you don't eat it now, it will burn," Xuanzang said.
"How could one bear paw be enough? Master, let me cut off another one to liven things up for you!"
As he spoke, the simple-minded Heixiong was about to chop off his own claw, but he was stopped by Xuanzang.
The look of envy in Bajie's eyes was about to spill out, and he whispered:
"Heixiong, when you absorb the Chaos Demon Bear Essence Blood later, let your senior brother soak up a little bit on the side."
"No."
Heixiong was just simple-minded, not stupid. How could he not know the preciousness of this Ancestral Blood?
"Tch! Stingy." Bajie couldn't help but raise a middle finger and curl his lip.
Afterwards, the massive bear paw was divided among the brothers!
Xuanzang only ate a little bit; after all, this was Heixiong's heartfelt gesture.
Heixiong ate while crying, not knowing if they were tears of happiness or tears of sadness!
This taste was too wonderful.
"Ding, group member Young Girl Ruthless has opened the Chat Group Live Broadcast Room."
A notification sound from the Chat Group reached Xuanzang's ears.
"Ruthless's live stream? Could it be that some accident happened again?"
Xuanzang thought to himself, then immediately entered the Live Broadcast Room.
By this time, many of the group members had basically arrived.
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Little Sister Ruthless, what major event has happened?"
Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Fellow Daoist Ruthless rarely opens a live stream; whenever she does, it must be a major event."
I Am Bai Xiaochun: "Wow, Big Sister Ruthless is truly heroic and spirited, so cool!"
The Ruthless in the live stream was dressed in white as snow, wearing a Bronze Ghost Face Mask on her face, her figure slender, standing in the Void like an immortal!
Immortal King Anlan: "As expected of the future trio, this bearing, impressive!"
Demon Queen: "Much stronger than a certain little hater who has just been slacking off!"
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Queen, I feel like you are talking about me."
Foshan Ye Wen: "Little Brother Ye, be more confident, remove the 'feel like'."
Young Girl Ruthless: "Today, I intend to step onto the Renxuxingkonggulu to wage war against the ten thousand races!"
