681: Chapter 250: Great Emperor_5 681: Chapter 250: Great Emperor_5 Sun Wukong gave the Celestial Immortal an odd look.
Did this fellow still think he could teach him a lesson?
Unfortunately, he no longer had that chance.
He would never reach the heights Sun Wukong had attained in this lifetime.
Some achievements simply couldn’t be reached with mere effort.
Opportunity, comprehension, and perseverance all were essential.
“I misunderstood you all, and for that I apologize, but you should also get up, I simply cannot accept you, we are not kindred spirits,”
Sun Wukong said indifferently, declining their offer.
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, those people felt disappointed; they knelt there, somewhat unwilling to stand.
Seeing they wouldn’t get up, Sun Wukong shook his head, preparing to leave.
Finally, the Celestial Immortal spoke up, “My lord, even if you don’t want us, please give us a valid reason.
We really wish to serve under you,”
“Too weak.”
Sun Wukong uttered two words.
To the Celestial Immortal, the words ‘too weak’ basically meant unworthy as well.
He felt disgruntled; as a Celestial Immortal, wherever he chose to pledge allegiance, he should not be dismissed as too weak.
Yet, that was exactly what the other party had done, declaring him too weak.
“Great Immortal, are you very strong?”
The disgruntled Celestial Immortal retorted.
No one else spoke; him, a mighty Celestial Immortal, offering to serve and yet being dismissed was quite unreasonable.
Sun Wukong glanced at him, slightly smiled, and replied, “My name is Sun Wukong.”
As he finished speaking, he disappeared.
Sun Wukong?
The Celestial Immortal’s eyes widened as he realized why he had been dismissed.
The Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, was one of the most powerful beings in the Three Realms.
No wonder he was deemed too weak.
In the face of such a formidable figure as Sun Wukong, he didn’t even qualify to follow him,
“It was our own folly.”
The Celestial Immortal said, a bittersweet smile on his face.
He knew that, apart from recruiting some Immortals in the early development of the Great Sage Sect at Huaguo Mountain,
the weakest Immortal now were Bai Yu and Fan Yao.
One of them, a powerful Demon King, had already reached the pinnacle of Celestial Immortal,
while the other, Fan Yao, although truly not much compared to powerful Immortal Gods, was also quite renowned within the Daoist Sect and was said to be at the pinnacle of Celestial Immortal strength.
Yet, she was not even a combatant at Huaguo Mountain,
essentially a maid.
Even someone at the pinnacle of Celestial Immortal could only serve as a maid; he, a newly ascended Celestial Immortal, truly wasn’t qualified to follow Sun Wukong.
He sighed heavily in his heart.
In the end, the Celestial Immortal said nothing more.
“Keep training hard.”
Having slain the Ancient God with Tiger Head, Sun Wukong’s mood had not improved; instead, it had grown heavier.
The Three Realms were about to fully stabilize when the Primordial Gods and Demons appeared, thoroughly disrupting everything again.
Everywhere there were traces of Primordial Gods and Demons, astoundingly numerous in number.
Some training Sects had been occupied, and their disciples were expelled, losing their heritage.
Battles could be seen almost everywhere, those of later generations of living beings clashing with the Primordial Gods and Demons.
Sun Wukong’s gaze turned icy; these Primordial Gods and Demons were up to no good.
For them, power was everything, and they didn’t hold to any so-called rules.
They seized territory, enslaved later generations of living beings, attacked at will, causing massive damage to the living beings between heaven and earth.
It hadn’t been long, yet the world was awash in blood.
Even though the Thunder Department’s forces maintained order, protecting the world, they could not cope, and there had been heavy casualties recently.
Boom.
Ahead, dazzling divine radiance burst into the sky.
This was the Primordial Gods and Demons waging their battles, fighting furiously.
Sun Wukong flew over, and he saw an ancient god, his robes bloodied, being attacked by four ancient gods, yet he resolutely protected a group of humans behind him.
“Great Emperor, stop showing off your power; you are not our match.
Considering that you are one of the ancient gods from the Primordial era, leave quickly.
Otherwise, we’ll kill you along with them,”
one of the ancient gods shouted, growing impatient.
The so-called Great Emperor was the ancient god protecting the humans.
He smiled faintly and said, “What do I fear in death?
I cannot just stand by and watch these humans suffer.
If you want to harm them, kill me first; well, it’s not like I haven’t died before.”
The Great Emperor was utterly calm, not afraid at all.
He turned to look at the frightened humans, his eyes filled with warmth, all of it resolute.
“Why bother.”
The ancient god spoke; he was a Golden Lion at the peak of Heavenly Venerate, his majesty truly awe-inspiring.
While the Great Emperor was also a Heavenly Venerate, having only just entered this Realm and lacking the bloodline prowess of the Golden Lion, his strength was significantly inferior.
The Golden Lion truly didn’t understand why the Great Emperor Heavenly Venerate would rather die to protect these humans.
The Great Emperor simply smiled and said, “You just don’t understand.”
The Golden Lion didn’t understand and didn’t want to either.
His gaze cold, under normal circumstances, out of respect for the Great Emperor Heavenly Venerate, he would have let these humans go.
This time, however, was different; they had dared to step into his forbidden zone, even if less than an inch in, it still undermined his authority, and they must be punished.
With that thought, the Golden Lion said coldly, “If that’s the case, then don’t blame us for being rude, kill him.”
The Golden Lion roared, and several Celestial Immortals behind him charged forward.
Although they were all just Celestial Immortals, their eyes were fierce, and their aura was terrifyingly intense.
