Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 849 - 749: Nine Steles Gather, The Mortals Weep

Chapter 849 -749: Nine Steles Gather, The Mortals Weep

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, the Dragon Ancestor moved. However, he did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, he suddenly pulled out a black fruit from his chest and swallowed it in one gulp. After the fruit was completely ingested, the Dragon Ancestor laughed. There was an indescribable sense of relief and ease in his laughter. He had waited for this day for a full million years. After the battle in the Ancient Times, he had struggled to survive, all for the chance to avenge the Ancestor Demon and Beast Ancestor one day. “You should recognize this fruit, right? I spent a lot of effort to find it.” As the Dragon Ancestor spoke, a strange transformation began to occur in him.

The previously aged face gradually became younger, and his hunched back slowly straightened. As the Dragon Ancestor slowly straightened up, an unparalleled aura of arrogance burst forth, shocking everyone to their core. When the Dragon Ancestor’s body finally stood straight, everyone saw that the formerly frail, aged Dragon Ancestor, who seemed like he could be blown away by a gust of wind, had transformed into a young man who looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. His black hair fluttered in the wind, exuding an unspeakable heroism. That fruit had indeed rejuvenated the Dragon Ancestor. However, the Dragon Ancestor was not exactly a child now; rather, he had restored himself to his peak state.

Watching the youthful Dragon Ancestor, the Pioneer’s expression gradually turned grim. He hadn’t anticipated this. The old Dragon Ancestor had actually obtained that fruit, specifically to deal with him. This was going to be troublesome. The fruit the Dragon Ancestor had eaten was something the Pioneer recognized, the Creation Reincarnation Fruit, akin to the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit that Sun Wukong, Xi Zhao, and the Flame God had once consumed, one of the two great treasures of the Netherworld World. The Netherworld Fortuity Fruit granted the consumer the ability to link their lives, while the Creation Reincarnation Fruit had the ability to instantly restore someone to their peak state, no matter what condition they were in.

Two fruits: one saves lives, the other takes them. Previously, the Pioneer had also searched extensively for this Creation Reincarnation Fruit but could never find it. He never expected it to be in the hands of the Dragon Ancestor. The Pioneer knew well how strong the Dragon Ancestor was at his peak. If he were also at his peak, he wouldn’t be afraid, but now, he had lost his spirit from his soul, and this body didn’t harmonize with his soul. Moreover, this body was merely created by the Underworld God Army from countless beings and couldn’t compare to a real body. Besides its high strength, its coordination was very poor.

If no one interfered, the Pioneer was seventy percent confident he could defeat the Dragon Ancestor. But clearly, Ling Weiyang would not stand by idly. During his battle with the Dragon Ancestor, Ling Weiyang would surely complete his evolution. The Pioneer was also acutely aware of the power of the Purple Gold Stars Kirin. At that time, when faced with the combined assault of a peak-state Dragon Ancestor and a third evolution Ling Weiyang, he might very well be defeated. Even if he won in the end, it would be a pyrrhic victory, which was not the outcome he desired. If he didn’t fight but fled instead, the Dragon Ancestor would surely chase him.

The effects of the Creation Reincarnation Fruit lasted for a full day and night. If he fled, there was no way he could do anything during that time. In fact, he didn’t have that much time. Within three Chinese Hours, that person would arrive, and his final obstacle would only be able to delay him for three Chinese Hours at most. The Pioneer’s situation suddenly became remarkably awkward. Watching the Dragon Ancestor opposite him, the Pioneer was filled with frustration and his anger began to rise. He truly hadn’t anticipated that the old Dragon Ancestor would go to such lengths to confront him, and he never knew before that the Dragon Ancestor was still alive. It was undeniable that the Dragon Ancestor was very good at concealing his identity.

Now the Dragon Ancestor was fighting with a mindset of certain death, which meant if he found himself losing in battle, he was very likely to resort to self-destruction. The self-destruction of a peak-state Dragon Ancestor had terrifying power, potentially blowing this borrowed body into ashes. The Pioneer found himself in a dilemma, while the Dragon Ancestor opposite him seemed in no hurry.

Finally, gritting his teeth, the Pioneer made up his mind. Seeing the change in the Pioneer’s gaze, the Dragon Ancestor also put away his casual demeanor, slightly bending his body, ready for combat. In the next moment, the Pioneer moved. However, his target was not the Dragon Ancestor, but Ling Weiyang who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, channeling the Power of the Stars. The Pioneer flashed over, and then his right hand gleamed brilliantly, pointing straight at Ling Weiyang’s forehead with astonishing speed, so fast that even the Demon Emperor Halberd didn’t have time to react.

Nevertheless, this strike still didn’t connect. Just an inch from Ling Weiyang’s forehead, another finger blocked its path. “Your Heavensplitting Finger hasn’t improved much. It probably isn’t as powerful as the Heavensplitting Strike of the Chaotic Giant Clan. If this is all you’ve got, I don’t think I’ll even need the little Kirin.” With that, the Dragon Ancestor’s left hand formed a claw, aiming directly at Ling Weiyang’s chest. Knowing the danger of the Dragon Ancestor’s claw, Ling Weiyang immediately retreated, dodging it. “I should have killed you back then, too, or we wouldn’t have this trouble now. Dragon Ancestor, are you really going to force me to use my full strength? Have you forgotten that terror?”
