Chapter 1231: Chapter 378: Breaking Out of the Demon Realm
Those supreme beings returned, relieved that they were not punished by Tian Hao.
The Demon King’s gaze was cold as he stared at Tian Hao.
He clearly forbade Tian Hao from taking action, yet some supreme beings went to hunt down Sun Wukong.
This was Tian Hao deliberately stirring trouble; although he did not act himself, he had his subordinates do so.
Clearly, he was purposefully provoking the Demon King, probing his limits.
The Demon King’s eyes were extremely cold as he fixed them on Tian Hao, murderous intent clear in his gaze.
Tian Hao sensed the Demon King’s gaze as well and met it calmly, his face showing not a ripple.
The Demon King took action directly, a terrifying majesty enveloping Tian Hao.
Tian Hao’s eyes flashed brilliantly, his aura surged, confronting the Demon King.
Their qi clashed, and Tian Hao grunted, yet did not retreat half a step.
The Demon King’s pupils slightly contracted, staring at Tian Hao. He said, "I didn’t expect you to come this far."
The Demon King was quite surprised by Tian Hao’s strength.
Tian Hao was on the edge of the Creation Realm, almost stepping into it.
This surprised him greatly; previously, Tian Hao was definitely not this strong.
Though he was at the same level as the Heavenly Emperor, he was still quite a distance from the Creation Realm.
But today’s Tian Hao was nearly becoming a master of the Creation Realm.
The Demon King’s expression was somewhat grave, but he quickly smiled.
With eyes gleaming with demonic light, the Demon King chuckled, saying, "No wonder you’re so confident, daring to challenge me. You indeed have such strength."
Tian Hao smiled faintly, saying, "I must thank Your Majesty, if not for your reminder, I wouldn’t have thought of becoming an independent entity, moreover, while becoming the opposing entity, I seized some of Haotian’s insights, achieving today’s Dao Fruit. I believe it won’t be long before I can become a strong figure in the Creation Realm."
"Is this your confidence in provoking me?"
The Demon King’s voice was somewhat low, carrying murderous intent.
Tian Hao looked at the Demon King, fearless, but calmly said, "Demon King, I am not provoking you, only wishing to tell you one thing."
Upon saying this, Tian Hao’s gaze became fierce, he proudly said, "Sooner or later I will ascend to the Creation Realm, you also want me to step into the Creation Realm to help you, so do not treat me like your subordinates, instead regard me as a peer, granting me enough respect. Even though I am only a Heavenly Emperor, I am your strong aid, you cannot be disrespectful to me."
Tian Hao stood his ground, he stared at the Demon King, showing utter pride.
The Demon King’s eyes flickered, he sneered, saying, "Respect, sure, I will respect you in the future, but today you provoked me, I must punish you."
To the Demon King, respecting Tian Hao and giving him punishment today were two separate matters.
Tian Hao smiled faintly, in the next moment, slapped himself.
A mouthful of blood was spat out, he severely injured himself with a slap.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Tian Hao looked at the Demon King and asked, "How about it?"
The Demon King gazed at Tian Hao with a somewhat serious expression.
Upon hearing Tian Hao’s question, he hesitated a moment, then said, "Fine."
Obviously, the Demon King acknowledged Tian Hao’s self-punishment.
The Demon King’s qi receded, returning to calmness.
Tian Hao showed a smile, knowing he gained the Demon King’s recognition. From now on, even if temporarily unable to stand on equal ground with the Demon King, the Demon King still had to maintain a certain level of respect towards him.
"What a pity, this time ultimately failed to kill Sun Wukong."
Tian Hao sighed once.
Sun Wukong is Haotian’s great enemy, and equally his great enemy.
If Sun Wukong rises, he will become supreme, at least the strongest under the Heavenly Emperor.
Given time, this monkey can even become a warrior capable of contending with the Heavenly Emperor.
With Sun Wukong’s methods, he can definitely pose a threat to him.
"Forget it, let Haotian worry about that, he will surely face Sun Wukong first."
After saying this, Tian Hao no longer dwelled on the matter.
Sun Wukong, meanwhile, was unaware of all this; he reached the exit of the Demon Realm, surprisingly finding no one guarding it.
He breathed a sigh of relief, yet continued cautiously observing.
Only once confirmed absolutely no issues did Sun Wukong leave the Demon Realm.
The aura shifted, he returned to the Three Realms.
As soon as he appeared, he was engulfed by spells.
Sun Wukong was startled, quickly waving the Jingu Bang, only then breaking through all the immortal techniques.
Sun Wukong jumped aside, sensing the imminent arrival of a second wave of attacks.
Sun Wukong was thoroughly familiar with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, not wanting to stand there as a target for bombardment.
"It’s the Great Sage, cease fire!"
Truth Listening appeared, shouting loudly.
Simultaneously, Yang Jian and True Martial Great Emperor also appeared.
Upon seeing Sun Wukong, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Wukong was back; although Nezha wasn’t seen, at least it wasn’t the worst outcome.
All those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals ceased fire, surprised, not expecting the Great Sage had just come rushing out of the Demon Realm.
What was the Great Sage doing in the Demon Realm? Was he subduing demons and eliminating devils?
Thinking of this, they gazed at Sun Wukong with eyes full of admiration.
To the living beings of the Three realms, the Demon Realm was absolutely the most terrifying place.
Even those who roamed the Three Realms, such as immortals, dared not enter the Demon Realm to subdue demons, for they would be wiped out by the demons and monsters there.
From ancient times to now, immortals have entered the Demon Realm.
But they have never returned, not a single one.
Either killed by the demons and monsters, or transformed into members of the Demon Realm.
Someone like Sun Wukong, who entered the Demon Realm and then came out, was the first.
