Chapter 1237: Chapter 383: World-Destroying Demonic Qi
Sun Wukong then invited everyone to enjoy.
Since there were plenty of peaches of immortality, there was no need to stand on ceremony.
Seeing the mutual glances between the two, everyone smiled knowingly.
They all felt that the matter between the Great Saint and the Queen Mother of the West was likely to become real.
Except for Guangcheng, Yang Jian and the Eastern King were not outsiders, and they naturally knew that the relationship between the Queen Mother and Sun Wukong was merely formal.
It was even a one-sided wish from the Queen Mother of the West, with Sun Wukong not having made any declaration.
Yet, observing the current situation, there was indeed a budding connection between them.
Guangcheng felt a bit puzzled, sensing that there was something off about everyone’s expressions.
But he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
The banquet lasted less than half a day when a wave of overwhelming murderous aura suddenly erupted.
Everyone was startled, their gazes turned to the distance.
Something had happened.
They all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Although they didn’t know what had occurred, the aura was extremely terrifying. Even though it had just erupted, it carried a supremely destructive will, causing them all unease.
From a distance came the roars of Ying Zhao and others, as if they were engaged in combat with something.
But quickly, a blinding light of blood erupted, immediately causing the Queen Mother of the West to be both shocked and furious.
Without a word, she darted over directly.
Sun Wukong and the others followed closely behind, rushing over.
Their Divine Thoughts had already perceived the scene there, where the three divine generals, including Ying Zhao, were blasted away, bodies shattered and in ruins, in an exceedingly tragic state.
In front of them, endless murderous aura surged, shapeless and formless, like a mass of mist, akin to a bizarre monster.
Upon their arrival, the murderous aura grew even more ferociously, charging straight at the Queen Mother of the West.
The intentions of that murderous aura seemed to want to kill the Queen Mother.
Sun Wukong appeared, with Jingu Bang coming forth instantly. Without waiting for the Queen Mother to make a move, he struck out with his staff.
Powerful mana collided with the aura, repelling it.
"That bastard Martial King."
At this moment, the Eastern King suddenly cursed.
He had already discerned the essence of the aura, knowing its origin.
No wonder the Nine Wastes entered the Three Realms in such a short time, as they were already being targeted.
However, the Eastern King speculated that it was likely due to something the Martial King and his group did that provoked this entity.
"What is this?"
Having driven the aura back with a single staff, Sun Wukong did not continue to attack but instead asked the Eastern King, while staring at the rolling aura.
He was aware that the Eastern King definitely knew what this aura really was.
"World-Destroying Demonic Qi, once a world is entered by it, it is destined to be destroyed. You can regard it as the vanguard of those powerful beings intending to annihilate various realms."
These words caused everyone’s faces to change.
This murderous aura actually had such origins.
Could it be that the group intending to destroy all realms had found the Three Realms and intended to invade, to obliterate them?
No wonder the Eastern King was so shocked and furious, even cursing the Martial King.
If it were someone else, they’d similarly be mumbling curses.
"No, this isn’t the true World-Destroying Demonic Qi, merely a trace, and it can’t summon those fellows."
The Eastern King, mind racing, suddenly spoke up.
With a gleam in his eyes, slightly excited, he said, "This trace of World-Destroying Demonic Qi isn’t that powerful."
The true World-Destroying Demonic Qi could contend with the Heavenly Emperor.
However, this particular trace of demonic qi is one even Sun Wukong can’t handle.
Though the nature is the same, it definitely isn’t the true World-Destroying Demonic Qi.
"Take action to obliterate this trace of World-Destroying Demonic Qi, and then Wukong and I will enter the Kunlun Ruins to question the Martial God."
The Eastern King stated, utterly decisive.
The matter was of grave importance, leaving no room for hesitation.
The issue at hand was no joke, potentially leading to the annihilation of realms.
Sun Wukong nodded, then took action, suppressing with his Jingu Bang, each blow stronger than the last.
The World-Destroying Demonic Qi was shattered, ultimately eradicated completely.
Beyond the endless space-time, two massive eyes opened, peering across the vastness towards the direction of the Three Realms.
In the mysterious spaciousness, Sun Wukong felt a huge malevolent intent enveloping him.
His heart trembled, in a daze, as he glimpsed those immense blood-colored eyes, boundless, seemingly even larger than the universe itself.
Sun Wukong shuddered all over, pondering what kind of being it was to be so horrifying.
Just a pair of blood-colored eyes poured intimidating pressure on him, even across the endless space-time.
It was unimaginable how terrifying it would be if the true form were to appear.
He feared even he was no match for such a being.
Was the owner of those blood-colored eyes the culprit behind the destruction of the strongest realm? Or was he merely one among them?
At this point, the Eastern King detected something amiss and took decisive action, severing that gaze.
Sun Wukong regained his senses from being locked on, taking a deep breath, and said, "What a terrifying existence, perhaps even stronger than The Three Pure Ones."
"What you saw was the master of the World-Destroying Demonic Qi."
The Eastern King said in a heavy voice.
Sun Wukong was somewhat astonished.
This so-called World-Destroying Demonic Qi actually had a master?
The Eastern King had a grim expression, speaking deeply, "It seems inevitable unrest lies ahead, and the Three Realms might soon face those dreadful enemies."
Everyone was shocked, finding themselves at a loss for words.
Just then, the Eastern King turned to Guangcheng and asked, "Are The Three Pure Ones prepared?"
Guangcheng’s eyes flickered slightly, responding faintly, "How would I know? I don’t even know what the World-Destroying Demonic Qi is."
The Eastern King chuckled softly, showing disregard, evidently not believing Guangcheng’s words.
"Great Saint, accompany me to the Nine Wastes, Judicial Deity, await our news, and be ready to inform the Heavenly Court to mobilize troops to annihilate the Nine Wastes in one strike."
The Eastern King said gravely.
Yang Jian was surprised, casting a glance at the Eastern King, eyes flickering, "Is it necessary?"
The Eastern King nodded and said, "It depends on whether the explanation given by the Martial King can satisfy me. If not, annihilating them is the best choice."
"You suspect the Martial King harbors ill intentions."
Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed, grasping the Eastern King’s meaning.
The Eastern King nodded slightly.
Sun Wukong glanced at Yang Jian and said, "Brother, just follow the Eastern King’s instructions. Trust the Eastern King; he has considerable discretion. Since he says so, let’s act accordingly."
Seeing Sun Wukong say this, Yang Jian could only nod.
"Don’t worry, I will now inform the Great Emperor Ziwei to prepare, once receiving your signal, we will act immediately."
Yang Jian smiled, adding, "Actually, the Heavenly Court is somewhat prepared, worried about any mishaps, merely needing to be better prepared."
The Eastern King then stated, "Alright, Great Saint and I will enter the Kunlun Ruins now."
"Be careful."
"Worry not."
The two entered the Kunlun Ruins together. Once inside, they released their Qi.
