Chapter 1241: Chapter 387: The Defiant Stone Monkey
Sun Wukong asked in confusion, “Someone transcended the Creation Realm? Is there an existence stronger than the Creation Realm?”
He was truly curious. All along, the realm that the Three Pure Ones were in was unknown to everyone, let alone the masters of the Creation Realm.
Glancing at Sun Wukong, the Eastern King shook his head and said, “You’re listening to nonsense. There are no masters beyond the Creation Realm. Even in our time, anything above the Creation Realm was just a legend. The strongest realm was incredibly powerful, far surpassing other worlds, but there were only eight strong beings in the Creation Realm.”
Sun Wukong inhaled sharply, realizing there were eight masters in the Creation Realm.
The so-called strongest realm was indeed very powerful.
But more frightening is that such a great realm would be destroyed.
What formidable and terrifying enemies they would face in the future.
In the Eastern King’s view, anything above the Creation Realm was merely a legend.
But Sun Wukong thought, perhaps it’s not a legend. Among the future enemies, there might be such masters.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong’s expression changed.
“Don’t think too much. It’s not as sinister as you imagine.”
The Eastern King said calmly.
He worried that Sun Wukong might be scared. If he truly believed there were masters beyond the Creation Realm, it might put him under too much pressure.
The Martial King, however, said discontentedly, “How can there not be? Isn’t there a stone monkey in the strongest realm, rumored to have transcended the Creation Realm and surpassed that realm? Do you think I don’t know?”
“What? Stone monkey?”
Sun Wukong was surprised.
Could it be that they are from the same clan?
He too was a stone monkey. Was there any connection?
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but laugh; he realized he was assuming too much.
Monkeys from two eras don’t belong to the same world, how could they be from the same clan?
It’s just a coincidence.
“Great Saint, don’t listen to his nonsense. Although that stone monkey was strong, even said to be the first among the Creation Realm, sweeping the world, it ultimately did not break through the Creation Realm. When the strongest realm was annihilated, it fought into the endless void, perishing together with the enemy.”
The Eastern King sighed.
It was clear that although he didn’t believe the stone monkey broke through the Creation Realm, he greatly respected the stone monkey’s power, considering it invincible within the Creation Realm and truly the first.
“That monkey was too fierce. If I were him, even if I had to escape into the endless void, creating a new realm, I would wait until I thoroughly broke through beyond the Creation Realm before going back to destroy those devastating enemies entirely. Perishing together is the most foolish. Only by living does one have hope.”
The Martial King said solemnly.
The Eastern King didn’t argue with him.
In his view, indeed, living provides hope.
If one dies, no matter how heroic at the time, it doesn’t solve the fundamental problem.
Sometimes, seeking death, in his view, is an act of cowardice.
The two shared a glance, both seeing the sighs in each other’s eyes.
“Is there really nothing else in the Endless Abyss?”
The Eastern King stared at the Martial King and asked, his gaze becoming sharp.
“Nothing.”
The Martial King immediately said.
Glancing at the Martial King, the Eastern King coldly asked, “Then why did you enter the Three Realms so early? Since you yourself said it’s just a bit of World-Destroying Demonic Qi, it seems unnecessary for you to prepare to enter the Three Realms so early.”
The Martial King’s expression froze slightly, and then he explained, “Wasn’t it because I was afraid of getting killed?”
Saying this, he sighed deeply.
Afraid of getting killed.
If such words came from an ordinary person, it wouldn’t be much, at most making one feel sorry for them.
But pouring from the Martial King’s mouth, it made the others sigh.
This was the Martial King, a true king, yet he uttered such words, involuntarily eliciting a sense of pity.
Patted the Martial King’s shoulder, even the Eastern King had nothing more to say.
He too was afraid of getting killed.
Otherwise, why would just a bit of World-Destroying Demonic Qi make him so nervous?
Originally, the Eastern King felt a trace of anger, but now it has all dissipated.
He patted the Martial King’s shoulder, saying nothing more.
“Old Sun would like to go take a look.”
Sun Wukong suddenly stated.
He was very curious about the coffin and wanted to see it.
As for the so-called Endless Abyss, Sun Wukong didn’t think it could trap him.
Before the Eastern King could respond, Sun Wukong had already dashed inside.
The Martial King reached out but couldn’t catch him.
“He went in?”
The Martial King was stunned.
The Eastern King couldn’t help but smile wryly; although he wasn’t worried about Sun Wukong being in danger, he felt Sun Wukong was a bit too impulsive, charging in just like that.
If something were truly to happen to him, how would he explain it to Great Emperor Ziwei and the others?
Thinking of this, the Eastern King was about to rush in.
The Martial King grabbed the Eastern King, not allowing him to rush in.
“You can’t go in. The two of you came to Kunlun Ruins together, and now if both of you enter the Endless Abyss, how can I explain it to the Heavenly Court? They’d think I killed you both.”
The Eastern King was slightly taken aback; it indeed made sense.
According to Great Emperor Ziwei’s and Sun Wukong’s friendship, he would surely wage war on the Endless Abyss in anger.
But leaving Sun Wukong alone was unacceptable to the Eastern King.
“I’ll go find him and come out after I find him.”
The Eastern King said.
The Martial King shook his head and said solemnly, “Don’t talk nonsense. Inside the Endless Abyss lurks mysteries. With our strength, entering there would take at least half a month to come out, let alone find someone inside. I believe he has an Immortal Body and not weak power. That coffin also disappeared. He should be okay and able to come out by himself. You better stay here.”
A sigh escaped the Eastern King.
He knew clearly that if he went in, the Nine Wastes and the Three Realms would inevitably clash.
At that time, countless living beings would suffer, which he didn’t want to see.
With this in mind, the Eastern King took a deep breath.
He stared at the Martial King and said, “You better pray nothing happens to Sun Wukong. If something happens to him, Lord Taishang and the Heavenly Emperor will strangle you immediately.”
The Martial King touched his neck, sensing a chilly feeling across his back.
He also prayed in his heart, hoping Sun Wukong wouldn’t meet any mishap.
Otherwise, if he caught the attention of Lord Taishang and the current Supreme of the Heavenly Court, it would be easier for him to just commit suicide.
Maybe then, they would spare his clan, considering his cooperation.
Imagining this, the Martial King couldn’t help but force a smile.
When did he, a dignified king, become so humble?
“Rest assured, I guarantee he’s fine. If he doesn’t come out in half a month, I’ll personally go in to find him.”
The Martial King assured.
