Chapter 554 -554: The Return of the Myriad Races (4th Release!)

Sun Wukong’s eyes emitted a chilling light. The Void-Breaking Divine Eye could not only penetrate all barriers and prohibitions, but it could also clearly see the energy flow within an enemy’s body. Just now, an anomaly appeared in the energy flow within Jue Ying, the shadow demon—such fluctuations only occurred when someone was lying. In other words, that fellow hadn’t told the truth just now!

“Great Saint, I…”

Jue Ying, the shadow demon, still wanted to argue a bit, but his body was suddenly crushed by an immense force, leaving him completely unable to move. He felt as if his entire body was about to explode from the pressure, and a sense of extreme terror arose within him. The passageway between the Demonic Realm and the Three Realms had just connected and wasn’t stable yet. He was the spy sent ahead into the Three Realms. His knowledge of Sun Wukong still lingered on the display Sun Wukong put on in the Demonic Realm, not expecting Sun Wukong to have progressed to such an extent.

Just the pressure of domain power was enough to take his life, without even moving a finger!

“I, Old Sun, will ask only once more, are you targeting Tang Seng? What exactly does the Demon Race intend?”

Sun Wukong’s face was gloomy as he pressed on, “Don’t think about lying. I, Old Sun, can tell at a glance whether you’re telling the truth! You only have one chance, I won’t ask a second time!”

Feeling the icy killing intent pervading Sun Wukong’s body, Jue Ying couldn’t hold back a shiver. He knew Sun Wukong was not joking—if he didn’t tell the truth, Sun Wukong would indeed kill him without the slightest bit of mercy!

“Great Saint, I, I’ll say it, I’ll tell everything!”

Struggling against the oppression of the domain power, Jue Ying, the shadow demon, said with difficulty.

Sun Wukong withdrew the oppression of his domain power and looked at Jue Ying, the shadow demon, who had collapsed on the ground. He said in a cold voice, “Speak, tell Old Sun everything you know, without a shred of concealment, or else…”

Sun Wukong did not continue, but Jue Ying’s body shuddered once more. He naturally understood what ‘or else’ meant. Compared to loyalty, his life was of course more important. Without hesitation, he spilled everything about the Demon Race’s intent or, rather, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu’s intent, as if pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

Just as Sun Wukong had expected, Jue Ying was indeed targeting Jiang Liu’er. After coming from the Demonic Realm to the Three Realms, and after gathering information, he reported back to the Demonic Realm about Jiang Liu’er being ordained to journey to the Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain to seek the scriptures. Demon Ancestor Luo Hu ordered him to capture Jiang Liu’er and bring him back to the Demonic Realm to prevent his successful scripture seeking. Moreover, being the body of a ten-time virtuous person, Jiang Liu’er contained an immense amount of merit and fortune—Jiang Liu’er himself was already highly valuable!

“So you were hiding in Eagle Sorrow Gorge, planning to capture Tang Seng, right? It was only because you saw Yuan Hong’s strength and felt uncertain, that’s why you didn’t make a move, am I right?”

“The Great Saint is truly astute and insightful!”

Jue Ying, the shadow demon, wore a bitter smile on his face. It seemed he was rather unlucky—why did he have to run into Sun Wukong? In the entire Demonic Realm, apart from Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, probably no one else could handle Sun Wukong.

Unlucky, this was too unlucky!

“It seems like the Demonic Realm has also set their sights on Jiang Liu’er!”

Sun Wukong stroked his chin, his eyes slightly narrowed as he fell into deep thought. According to what Jue Ying said, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu was clearly focusing on Jiang Liu’er. What kind of trouble will arise next was still uncertain, but this journey to the West to seek scriptures was likely to face much turmoil.

“Great Sage, this Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures is a conspiracy by both the Buddha Dao. Even the Demon Ancestor can see through this, and you have no reason not to! Now is the era of the Great Struggle, and myriad races will return one after another. It’s not just our Demon Race that wants Tang Seng!”

“Myriad races returning? What do you mean?”

Sun Wukong’s heart stirred, Jue Ying’s words were no ordinary matter, “Could it be that other races have broken away from the Three Realms?”

“Of course!”

Jue Ying nodded, “During the Ancient Times, myriad races flourished, but now most of them have vanished without a trace, just like my Demon Race, each has isolated their race’s space from the Three Realms. Now that the third boundless catastrophe has arrived, and the trajectory of fate has undergone a massive change, it is the best opportunity. The return of the myriad races and the struggle for dominance is inevitable! These are not my words but those of the Demon Ancestor!”

“Great Sage, your Demon Clan is also one of those oppressed by the Human Race. Why not take this opportunity to cooperate with our Demon Race and together thwart the Buddha Dao’s scheme to seek scriptures? We can split the merit and destiny of Tang Seng fifty-fifty!”

Seeing Sun Wukong’s shocked expression, Jue Ying seized the moment to throw out the proposal for cooperation. However, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh after hearing it.

“Fifty-fifty? Why would I, Old Sun, want to go halves with your Demon Race? Do you know my plans? You know nothing and just jump out wanting to cause destruction. Now that you have been caught, you propose going halves with me? Who do you think you are, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hu? Can you even represent the Demon Race? Ridiculous!”

Sun Wukong snorted coldly, and Jue Ying felt like a heavy hammer had fiercely struck his back, almost smashing him flat on the ground, as fear once again filled his eyes.

“Go back and tell Demon Ancestor Luo Hu that I, Old Sun, have long had plans regarding this Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures. If he truly has the heart to cooperate, let him come personally to Flower-Fruit Mountain to discuss it in detail with me, Old Sun. Otherwise, he should not intervene rashly! If he ruins my plans, he’d better not blame me, Old Sun, for turning heartless!”

After his final words, Sun Wukong withdrew his Heaven-Breaking Domain, his figure flashed, turning into a beam of golden light that soared into the sky, and in an instant, he was gone.

“We’d better hurry back to report this to the Demon Ancestor and ask him to decide!”

Jue Ying was somewhat stunned. After coming back to his senses, he thought carefully about what Sun Wukong had said, yet he could not fathom what Sun Wukong’s plans were for protecting Jiang Liu’er. He could only helplessly shake his head and transformed into a black shadow, flying off into the distance.

Sun Wukong rode his cloud back to Flower-Fruit Mountain and gathered the high-ranking members of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult, recounting to them everything he had encountered with Jue Ying, including all the words that Jue Ying had said.

“The return of the myriad races, this could be troublesome!”

Leng Xuan furrowed his brows. Although his Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe was part of the Demon Clan, it was also one of the myriad races. There were records within the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe about the vast array of races during the ancient primeval period, and as the Fox Emperor of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe, Leng Xuan had some knowledge of these matters.

During the first boundless catastrophe, the Witch-Demon cataclysmic war occurred, affecting a wide area, leading to the decline of myriad races. Many races, much like the Demon Race, had separated their domain’s space from the Primeval Three Realms with great mana to avoid disaster. Yet, they never anticipated that during the arrival of this third boundless catastrophe, the myriad races would have intentions to return!
