Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 479 - 462 Each Goes Their Own Way
Sun Wukong’s voice had become even colder, and the ruthless killing intent in his tone was completely undisguised. The Sun Wukong they were seeing now was nothing like the one everyone knew; he had changed into someone unrecognizable. Especially for Rogue Heart Sword Hero, who had never seen Sun Wukong like this since meeting him. Dao Zhun’s shock wasn’t because of what Sun Wukong said, but because of Sun Wukong’s mastery and manipulation of space. The power of space wasn’t limited to just instantaneous movement or storage.
All twenty members of the Genesis Divine Nation were profoundly aware of this, for the instant Sun Wukong appeared, they all felt a sharp longsword had mysteriously appeared above their necks. The blade seemed sharp enough to slice through anything, which left them so afraid to make the slightest move. No one would joke with their own life. As soon as Sun Wukong’s voice fell, Jue Luan, sensing that lethal sharpness at his neck and thinking to escape, found he was already unable to move.
Yet when he forced his eyes to scan his body, he found nothing unusual. Jue Luan had long been aware that Sun Wukong could use the Seal Heavenly Stamp, so he had been prepared. But although he did not detect Sun Wukong using the power of the Seal Heavenly Stamp, his body was still immobilized, and even the flow of his spiritual power had stopped. He forced his head to turn and saw that everyone else was just like him, completely restrained by some unknown force.
"Are you surprised? Nothing’s there, yet you find yourself unable to move, and there’s a sword across your neck? Humph, Jue Luan, let me tell you, I, Sun Wukong, owe you nothing. I spared Luo Chen before only out of respect for Pangu the Great God. Don’t push your luck. If you still want an explanation from me, I wouldn’t mind wiping out your entire force!"
At this moment, Jue Luan’s face was as ghastly as a corpse’s. It was humiliation, great humiliation. He, the esteemed vice Domain Lord of the Genesis Divine Nation, second only to the Domain Lord Xiao He, and one who could sit at the same level as Pangu the Great God, was now caught by a mere brat, along with all twenty of his subordinate men. For one at the Domain Lord level, this was worse than death itself.
But Jue Luan was still Jue Luan. After taking three deep breaths in succession, he had managed to calm himself considerably. Although he very much wanted to release all his power and teach Sun Wukong a lesson, he knew he couldn’t. A qualified powerhouse not only needed formidable strength but also had to endure humiliation when necessary, knowing to prioritize the greater picture and avoid impulsive actions based on emotion.
Slowly closing his eyes, Jue Luan’s voice was somewhat hoarse as he said, "Please release us, as long as you let us go, we’ll consider this matter resolved. The Genesis Divine Nation will not pursue this further, and we will act as if nothing happened!"
"My lord, my lord..." Qian Shang, on the other hand, wasn’t as quick to calm down as Jue Luan. Despite feeling the agony of his life being completely in another’s hands, upon hearing what was clearly Jue Luan capitulating, Qian Shang felt a wrenching pain in his heart. And his gaze towards Sun Wukong was filled with hatred, the kind stemming from one’s beliefs being trampled upon, wishing to flay and eat the flesh of their enemy.
Jue Luan slightly turned his head and gave Qian Shang an incredibly slight shake of his head, then returned his firm gaze to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong reflected for a moment before asking, "So you’ll also let the matter with Xi Zhao go? I can tell you clearly that Xi Zhao was an undercover agent in the Netherworld World; everything was orchestrated by him, and it was also Xi Zhao who ordered old King to attack your Genesis Palace. Now that I’ve exposed Xi Zhao and he has escaped after battling me, if you, the Genesis Divine Nation, have any objections, go find Xi Zhao yourself. Now, you may leave!"
Having said that, Sun Wukong waved his hand dismissively, as if to shoo away flies. The unknown force binding Jue Luan and the others disappeared in an instant, and the threatening sensation at their necks gradually vanished as well. Throughout this process, everyone present maintained complete silence, even upon hearing that Xi Zhao was an undercover agent, no one exclaimed again. This was because Zhibei and Rogue Heart Sword Hero had already raised their suspicions about Xi Zhao during the negotiations. Now, they were just surprised that Sun Wukong had let him go after knowing he was an undercover agent.
Indeed, no one was foolish enough to really believe that Xi Zhao had only escaped after battling Sun Wukong; it was clear that Sun Wukong hadn’t bothered to concoct a more plausible lie. Jue Luan glanced at his twenty companions and waved his hand, leading the group to cautiously retreat in one direction. When they had moved out of sight, the twenty members of the Genesis Divine Nation rose into the air and headed towards the Transforming Thunder Palace. During the negotiations, Jue Luan hadn’t allied with any other power, instead, he had declared strongly that the Genesis Divine Nation would completely withdraw from the alliance and act independently from now on.
Regarding Jue Luan’s decision, although the others were surprised, they didn’t say much. The Six Great Divine Nations, or rather, the ten directions’ powers, were inherently competitive. Now, having an alliance of six factions in the Patrolling Celestial World was already inconceivable. Even as Jue Luan announced his withdrawal, it wasn’t a very clear-cut decision, but it was an internal matter for him, and it wasn’t anyone else’s place to comment. Moreover, with the alliance already at a tremendous advantage, missing the Genesis Divine Nation wouldn’t make much of an impact.
After Jue Luan and his companions left, they immediately started to fly at full speed. However, an hour later, they suddenly changed direction. Originally, they had planned to go to the Transforming Thunder Palace first and use the Supreme Order from Jue Luan’s possession to open it, ensuring that the Genesis Divine Nation would not be eliminated even if they couldn’t reclaim the Genesis Palace. But now, Jue Luan and his group had unexpectedly changed course and headed straight for the Genesis Palace instead. Could it be that Jue Luan planned to wipe out the Five Demon Gods of the Genesis Palace before activating the Transforming Thunder Palace? This action was indeed unwise and way too risky.
But what Jue Luan was really thinking, no one knew; perhaps only he himself did. Watching Jue Luan and the others depart, Sun Wukong remained silent and slowly walked back to where he had been sitting, leaning against a large tree, his head lowered in thought. The outcome of the previous negotiation was that the Genesis Divine Nation had left the alliance to act on its own, while the Ancient Primordial World, Myriad Gods Hall, and Canglan River Realm formed a tripartite alliance, with the Genesis Divine Nation allying with the Fangcun Spirit Realm.

Although they split into two alliances, the two were not without contact. In the time to come, the Netherworld World and the Fangcun Spirit Realm were mainly responsible for direct engagement with Myriad Gods Hall and the Underworld God Army, while the Canglan River Realm, Myriad Gods, and the dwellers of the Ancient Primordial World were in charge of specifically ambushing their Myriad Gods Palace and causing harassment. Overall, it was the Netherworld and Fangcun who would launch frontal attacks, with the three forces of Myriad Gods undertaking stealth attacks from behind.
Although annihilating the Myriad Demons Country was everyone’s intention, if they could activate the World Suppressing Stele in the Myriad Demons Palace and successfully defend it for three days, the Myriad Demons Country would also be eliminated. As for the subsequent actions of the Genesis Divine Nation, the others could not know just yet, but everyone would certainly be more cautious of the Genesis Divine Nation from now on.

The Genesis Divine Nation also had its share of misfortunes; although it initially gained a significant advantage, Luo Chen subsequently stole the Supreme Order and defected from the Genesis Divine Nation. Before they could even find Luo Chen, they were stabbed in the back by their most trusted ally, a stab that was quite fatal.
It was already quite impressive that Jue Luan managed to stay rational and did not lead his remaining people to immediately turn against Sun Wukong and the others on the spot. Even Sun Wukong had thought that if he were in Jue Luan’s shoes, he probably would have already led his people in a fight to the death against the Netherworld World and others.
Dying on the battlefield, falling to an enemy – that’s one thing. But to be killed by one’s own people, that’s an absolute disgrace.
After further discussion and finalizing many details, Zhibei, Po Jun, Feng Xi, the Soul Devouring Monk, Yu Fan Taoist Monk, Ghost Jade, Si Ye, and others led their respective forces and departed. As for where exactly they were going, Sun Wukong and the others did not know.
Aside from the Canglan River Realm, both the Myriad Gods Hall and the Ancient Primordial World could be said to be in grave danger now, especially the Myriad Gods Hall, which had lost its palace and was left with only a lonely Heavenly Stele standing there.
