Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 662 - 663 Yuan Hongs Combat Talent (4th Update)

“Your holiness, there are a total of three great demons on Lion Camel Ridge.”

“The eldest, the Green Lion King, is skilled in transformations, capable of lifting the sky and shrinking to the size of a mustard seed. He once sought to attack Heaven, but when the Jade Emperor dispatched a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers to subdue him, he simply expanded his mouth with his divine powers and nearly swallowed the entire Southern Heavenly Gate. The Jade Emperor had no choice but to close the Southern Gate and withdraw the soldiers, abandoning the campaign.”

“The second, the White Elephant King, possesses immense strength, able to carry mountains and chase the sun. Especially that long trunk of his, it’s as fierce as a flood dragon, and anyone caught by it, even with an iron body, would be twisted like a straw!”

“The youngest, the Great Roc King, is the most powerful. Known as the ‘Cloud-Girding Wanderer Peng’ that flaps its wings across ninety thousand miles in a single bound, faster even than the Somersault Cloud!”

At this point, Great White Golden Star glanced at Sun Wukong and chuckled dryly, “Of course, it still can’t compare to the Great Saint’s Streaming Light Escape, but it certainly surpasses Yuan Hong. The Great Roc King possesses a Yin-Yang Energy Vase. If one is trapped inside, no matter how high the cultivation, it becomes useless. In a moment or two, you’ll turn into thick water.”

“The Great Roc King? What cultivation does that Great Roc King have?”

Sun Wukong’s eyebrow raised again. Among the six Great Demon Kings of Flower-Fruit Mountain was a Roc Demon King, also known for his speed. He was just unsure who was more formidable.

“Five hundred years ago, he was at the late stage of the Da Luo Golden Immortal, but now I do not know.”

Great White Golden Star spread his hands and explained. Since the start of the third Limitless Calamity, the Heavenly Dao Laws had changed, making it much easier to increase cultivation than before. With five hundred years’ time, barring the exceptionally dull, it was enough for the Great Roc King to reach the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Or even higher!

“If it truly is the Quasi-Saint Realm, I’m afraid even Yuan Hong would not be his match!”

Sun Wukong frowned. Although Yuan Hong had cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Skill and possessed an exceptionally powerful body and combat abilities, he still had a significant gap compared to the Six-Eared Macaque, not to mention a comparison with Sun Wukong himself. Surpassing one’s own realm to take on challenges was not something just anyone could accomplish. Moreover, it seemed the Great Roc King was no simple foe. It appeared that Jiang Liu’er and his disciples would face difficulties on Lion Camel Ridge!

“Great Saint? Great Saint?”

“Hmm? What is it?”

Great White Golden Star woke Sun Wukong from his deep thoughts with a pleasing smile and said, “I’ve said all that needs to be said, may I leave now?”

“Fine, you can go, there’s nothing more for you here!”

Sun Wukong waved his hand dismissively, and Great White Golden Star, feeling as if he had been granted a great pardon, hurriedly rode his cloud away at high speed, returning to the Heavenly Court.

Sun Wukong then started to ponder. The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge seemed quite powerful. The Green Lion King and White Elephant King were manageable, but that Great Roc King would be difficult to handle!

“Cloud Journey of Ten Thousand Miles Peng, huh? Just perfect, let’s give Peng Demon King a chance to stretch his muscles and see who is truly formidable!”

After a moment of thought, Sun Wukong had a plan. He rose on his Somersault Cloud and flew towards the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing. Soon, he was back at Flower-Fruit Mountain, where he relayed the situation to Peng Demon King, who immediately became interested.

“Great Roc King, huh? Heh, he’s of my own lineage! I’ve been itching for a fight these past few days, what better chance to see who’s stronger than a showdown with that guy!”

Without further delay, Peng Demon King followed Sun Wukong on the cloud and arrived at Lion Camel Ridge. There, they saw Jiang Liu’er being snatched away by the Green Lion King, while Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha were being swept up by the long trunk of the White Elephant King. Yuan Hong was the only one still fighting the three kings, with Great Roc King’s battle being particularly fierce.

“Peng Fei? It’s actually him!”

Peng Demon King, spotting Great Roc King’s appearance from midair, couldn’t help but widen his eyes in anger, his face showing a deep-seated hatred.

Sun Wukong asked in surprise, “Old Four, you know this guy?”

“Of course, I know him! I could recognize him even if he turned to ash! It was this bastard who played dirty tricks, causing the downfall of my Golden Winged Great Roc kin and forcing us to relocate outside the Three Realms into seclusion. I’ve been searching for him for years, and here he is, lording over Lion Camel Ridge!”

Peng Demon King’s face was full of hatred, and his gaze towards Great Roc King was murderous, as he longed to tear him to shreds immediately.

“I had no idea you and this Great Roc King had such a vendetta!”

Sun Wukong nodded and said, “It seems I made the right call in asking for your help! But, don’t rush to make your move just yet. This guy isn’t going anywhere soon. You can save the day when Yuan Hong is no longer a match for him. It’s the perfect opportunity to take the merit and destiny of this challenge!”

Peng Demon King nodded, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and together with Sun Wukong, they concealed themselves midair, quietly watching the fierce battle between Yuan Hong and Great Roc King.

As per Sun Wukong’s initial assessment, Yuan Hong wasn’t expected to be a match for Great Roc King, whose cultivation had indeed reached the Quasi-Saint level and had even split out a Good Corpse. However, to Sun Wukong’s surprise, Yuan Hong performed impressively, withstanding Great Roc King’s attack. The two exchanged blows equally matched!

“Yuan Hong has quite the talent for battle!”

Peng Demon King smacked his lips in admiration; he had reached Quasi-Saint cultivation himself and had split out both a Good Corpse and an Evil Corpse, making him more powerful than Great Roc King.

“Indeed, he’s exceeded my expectations!”

Sun Wukong nodded in agreement. It seemed he had underestimated Yuan Hong a bit. In terms of combat talent, Yuan Hong appeared to be no less capable than Six-Eared Macaque. It was only because Six-Eared Macaque had the benefit of Sun Wukong’s personal teaching of Cultivation Techniques and Secret Arts that his cultivation strength was superior to Yuan Hong’s. If Yuan Hong had access to the same resources as Six-Eared Macaque, his potential for future growth could well match that of Six-Eared Macaque.
