Chapter 96

Because doing so was, to a certain extent, a confrontation with the Heavenly Dao.

Although Saints were immortal and indestructible, this immortality was because their true spirits were entrusted to the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, relying on the power of a Saint, it was impossible to contend with the Heavenly Dao.

The difference between the two was like that between heaven and earth.

As for the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, as a former boy, Haotian also believed that the Dao Ancestor could not casually let Jie Sect disciples break away from the Investiture of the Gods.

How could the high and mighty one deal with these ordinary gods?

Thinking it over, a strange existence might be the true truth.

Unfortunately, because of Tongtian Jiaozhu, Haotian could not learn anything from those Jie Sect disciples.

Those Saints could not fight the Heavenly Dao, but killing him was a completely effortless matter.

And more importantly, whether there was that mysterious existence behind the Jie Sect disciples, and if he did something he shouldn't have, would he provoke the other party—these were all things Haotian needed to consider.

At the same time, the matter of Sun Wukong appeared.

As a top Quasi-Saint powerhouse, Haotian also knew about the upcoming Fomen Great Calamity, and Sun Wukong was a key member of this Great Calamity.

Fomen had already explained this to the Heavenly Court long ago.

It was precisely because of this that Haotian paid attention to Sun Wukong during this capture.

Would there be a mysterious powerhouse behind one of the protagonists of the Journey to the West?

"Eh, this terrifying blood-evil aura." Suddenly, Haotian frowned; he saw the blood light released from Sun Wukong's body.

"The power of this blood light." Yaochi's beautiful eyes carried heaviness. "Haotian, even though we are in the Heavenly Court, we can still vaguely feel this terrifying blood-evil aura. What power is this?"

Clearly, that was not the blood-evil power of a demon beast; Yaochi was certain of this.

That kind of power could not bring that pressure to her heart.

"This is..." Haotian took a deep breath, his eyes flickering. "This might be what the Master spoke of, the power of the legendary Chaos Demon God."

"Chaos Demon God, how could there be a Chaos Demon God in this world?" Yaochi's expression changed drastically.

As a former boy of Hongjun, Yaochi also had some understanding of the Chaos Demon Gods.

Those were terrifying powerhouses in the Chaos.

Currently, even Quasi-Saint powerhouses, if they entered the Chaos world, could easily get lost and not return to the Primordial world.

It was even said that their Master, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, should be a Chaos Demon God reincarnated.

If a living Chaos Demon God appeared, how powerful and terrifying would the other party's strength be?

"Yaochi, that's not necessarily true. Back then, Pangu opened the heavens and earth and killed many Chaos Demon Gods. In our world, some creatures might have some Chaos Demon God bloodlines integrated into them." Haotian said. "Moreover, in the past, like the Twelve Ancestral Witches, they could also be considered an alternative transformation of Pangu's bloodline, and the Great God Pangu could also be considered a Chaos Demon God."

"Haotian, you mean that Sun Wukong has awakened the Chaos Demon God bloodline." Yaochi said slowly.

"Correct." Haotian nodded. "But now that Sun Wukong has awakened the Chaos Demon God bloodline, the one with a headache should be Fomen."

As one of the protagonists of the next Great Calamity, if Sun Wukong had the aura of a Chaos Demon God, that would bring great karma to Fomen.

Conversely.

Sun Wukong, born from Nüwa's stone for mending the heavens, was considered a weakened innate holy being.

The two were completely opposite.

"Then let's see how they handle it." Yaochi also laughed.

Yaochi had no good feelings toward Fomen.

Even toward those two Saints in the West.

Haotian and Yaochi had existed before the Three Pure Ones attained the Dao and became Saints.

So they knew clearly how shameless the two Western Saints were.

"Hmm..." Haotian nodded. "However, even if Sun Wukong has awakened the Chaos Demon God bloodline, he is not facing anyone else, but Zhenwu. It's a pity."

Great Emperor Zhenwu.

A famous Da Luo Golden Immortal in the Heavenly Court, known as the powerhouse with the most hope of becoming a Quasi-Saint.

How could Haotian not know such a person?

Even if he didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Heavenly Court, it was still the case.

It could be said that if this Great Emperor Zhenwu's talent were placed in the era of the Primordial Wu and Demon clans, he would likely rank among the top.

After all, he was a cultivator who had performed excellently in this current era.

In the past Primordial era, heaven and earth resources were almost infinite, and most people walking outside had the opportunity to obtain certain genius treasures and various fortunes.

But in this current era, such opportunities were already minimal.

This was also why Haotian expressed heartfelt praise for Great Emperor Zhenwu being able to reach this point.

In Haotian's view, Great Emperor Zhenwu becoming a Quasi-Saint powerhouse was only a matter of time.

As a top peak Da Luo powerhouse, even in the Wu-Demon era when Da Luo were everywhere, one couldn't find many who could defeat the current Great Emperor Zhenwu.

Although Sun Wukong, the protagonist of the Journey to the West Great Calamity, had stimulated the Chaos Demon God bloodline, causing his own strength to increase significantly.

But even so, Sun Wukong's strength was still not enough to contend with Great Emperor Zhenwu.

At the beginning, the battle between Great Emperor Zhenwu and Sun Wukong only used very little power.

On this point, Haotian, as a top Quasi-Saint powerhouse, could see it clearly.

"Hmm, that's right, it's a pity." Yaochi also recovered from her previous shock. "No matter how Sun Wukong's strength improves, it's not as good as Zhenwu. Then Haotian, do you still want to watch? Do you think there is also an existence beyond the Saints behind Sun Wukong?"

Regarding the Jie Sect disciples breaking away from the Investiture of the Gods, Yaochi had also heard about it from Haotian.

As the carrier of the last Great Calamity, the Investiture of the Gods was difficult even for Saints to destroy; forcibly destroying it would even be affected by the Heavenly Dao.

So now that Jie Sect disciples like Jin Ling Shengmu, the Three Xiao, and Zhao Gongming had broken away, there must be a more terrifying powerhouse behind it.

As for whether it was Tongtian Jiaozhu, Yaochi did not think so.

If Tongtian Jiaozhu could do it, he would have done it long ago; why wait until now?

"An existence beyond the Saints." Haotian's eyes flickered. "Yaochi, even if there is no mysterious powerhouse behind Sun Wukong, there is no harm in us continuing to watch."

Hearing this, Yaochi remained silent, because Haotian was right to a certain extent.

But in Yaochi's view, this possibility was very small.

That kind of terrifying existence having a relationship with the Jie Sect could be explained, but what contact would they have with Sun Wukong, a creature who wasn't even a Da Luo before?

Powerhouses always have the pride of powerhouses.

Just like them, these top Quasi-Saints, even they didn't have much contact with many Da Luo, let alone cultivators below Da Luo.

Such a statement could also be applied to Sun Wukong.

So Yaochi didn't think there was that mysterious powerhouse behind Sun Wukong.

"Then let's continue watching." Yaochi said softly.

As fellow boys under Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Yaochi and Haotian had known each other for countless years, and she also understood Haotian's situation.

Becoming a Saint was Haotian's obsession.

Of course, becoming a Saint was also the obsession of powerful Quasi-Saints in the Primordial world.

It was just that such thoughts had become fewer and fewer as time passed, even for Haotian.

Otherwise, why would he step down from being the Lord of the Heavenly Court?

This was the result he made under the condition of being unwilling.

Mount Huaguo.

When Sun Wukong stimulated the Chaos Demon Ape bloodline in his body, he knocked back Great Emperor Zhenwu for the first time.

Facing such a situation, Sun Wukong was not arrogant or proud; he also knew the power of this Heavenly Court Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable before him.

Even if he had the advantage now, he dared not relax at all.

"Come and try my power again."

With a ferocious face and a huge body, Sun Wukong turned into a blood light and rushed before Great Emperor Zhenwu.

"Thirty-Six Methods of Tiangang, Inverting Yin and Yang."

"Boom..."

Terrifying power was unleashed, and heaven and earth suddenly turned pitch black; the entire heaven and earth seemed to be inverted at this moment, making it impossible for people to distinguish between reality and illusion.

For Sun Wukong, although he used the Chaos Demon Ape bloodline, his strength had increased several times.

But he had not lost his sanity.

Only with sanity could Sun Wukong better exert his power.

In the past, Sun Wukong had obtained another powerful cultivation technique in the grocery store, which was the Thirty-Six Methods of Tiangang.
