Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 905 - 790: No Time Left
Chapter 905 -790: No Time Left
Sun Wukong, Xi Zhao, and the Through-back Ape discovered something one after another that led them all to make the same choice—immediately flee the valley. But strangely, after they all left the valley, nothing happened there. The stone lay quietly on the ground, emitting waves of fluctuations. So, what did they actually discover?
When Sun Wukong and the others reached the deepest part of the valley, they saw the stone, and aside from that, the entire valley was empty. However, just a moment ago, Sun Wukong’s Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes saw the Primordial Honor and the Law Enforcers at the end of the valley, but actually, no one was there. Sun Wukong’s Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes wouldn’t be mistaken, so the issue was with that stone. The stone was a phantom stone, and moreover, a mother stone among phantom stones, possessing a strong ability to create environments, and it could also record.
As long as someone injects Spiritual Power into the phantom stone, before the Spiritual Power runs out, the stone will record a specific period according to the injector’s will and simulate the environment. Simply put, the phantom stone can record everything happening in a given period and then recreate an identical environment. The Primordial Honor perfectly used the phantom stone’s ability; upon entering the deepest part of the valley, he duplicated his image there and then activated the stone to create illusions from the copied image. Due to his strong Spiritual Power, he expanded the illusory realm to cover the entire valley and silently left under the cover of the Illusion Array.
Later, nine Law Enforcers arrived here, but they didn’t enter through the entrance; instead, they came directly to the deepest part of the valley from above, so they immediately discovered the phantom stone and saw the Primordial Honor. Hence, the Heavenly Patroller judged that the Primordial Honor was not dead and even obtained the Spirit. At this point, the Heavenly Patroller wanted to leave and continue the pursuit, but realized they couldn’t leave from above, so they had no choice but to fight their way out of the deepest part of the valley.
Sun Wukong found it odd when he saw the corpses on the ground, as almost all of them fell facing the depth of the valley, indicating that if they were not collectively committing suicide, there was only one explanation: they were trying to stop someone from leaving. Combined with the illusion seen earlier through his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, Sun Wukong instantly guessed it right. Xi Zhao also figured it out, discovering the existence of the phantom stone, knowing both he and Sun Wukong had been deceived.
Xi Zhao firmly believed Sun Wukong’s words; Sun Wukong said the fusion with the small monkey would take an hour, so this time should be true. But now it had been an hour and a quarter since the Primordial Honor disappeared, meaning if they couldn’t find and stop the Primordial Honor within another quarter-hour, things would take a turn for the worst. Xi Zhao could defeat the Demon Spirit Butcher in one blow, but he wasn’t confident he could defeat the Primordial Honor who had fused with the Spirit. So he immediately followed Sun Wukong out in a hurry, as he did not have the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, so the task of finding the Primordial Honor would still fall to Sun Wukong.
After leaving the valley, Sun Wukong fully activated his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, and soon he saw the Primordial Honor again, but to his surprise, he saw not one but two identical Primordial Honors in the midst of fusion between two valleys, where it could be seen that the small monkey was gone, the Primordial Honor should have reached the final stage. These two places were precisely the valleys where the two Three Spirits Flowers were located earlier.
Cold sweat streamed down Sun Wukong’s forehead, still too careless; the Primordial Honor actually adopted this approach. Judging by the remaining time, Sun Wukong could only make it to one of the valleys, but this way, he would have a fifty percent chance of failure. Another option was to split up; on his side, excluding the master, there were still four people, split into two groups, which would still be timely. There was no time to think further, Sun Wukong planned to take Bajie with him, while Sha and White Dragon would go separately, but before he could speak, he noticed a group near one of the valleys.
It was the nine Law Enforcers; it seemed they also immediately began searching after discovering the deception in the valley and found one of the valleys. This made things easier; although the Law Enforcers were not what one might call good people, they would definitely stop the Primordial Honors whether to claim the Spirit or prevent a more powerful Primordial Honor from being born. Even if the Heavenly Patroller obtained the Spirit, he would need some time to absorb it; with this buffer time, it would be alright.
Thus, Sun Wukong immediately decided to head to the other valley. His Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes could not differentiate the real from the fake Primordial Honor between the two valleys, so now he would have to gamble with luck, but regardless of luck, the Primordial Honor would be stopped; the only difference would be to whom the Spirit unfused with the Primordial Honor would belong.
No more hesitation; due to his carelessness, Sun Wukong had lost the best opportunity, so now he must go all out. Instead of walking, the five immediately rode clouds, still led by Sun Wukong, and flew towards the valley. After they left, Xi Zhao hesitated for a moment but still followed behind Sun Wukong, followed by the Six-Eared Macaque trio; at this time, the Through-back Ape had already explained the situation to them, so without delay, they followed Xi Zhao. Flying all the way, half a quarter-hour later, Sun Wukong reached the entrance of the valley.
The five rushed directly inside; the valley had over a dozen people, all those who became human through the cultivation of their Soul and Essence; these people recognized Sun Wukong and did not obstruct him. The five went straight to the deepest part of the valley, where on a stone platform, the Primordial Honor sat cross-legged, emitting bursts of aura unique to the Spirit. Sun Wukong signaled to Zhu Bajie and the others, took a deep breath, and drew out the Jingu Bang. Then he leapt up, swinging the Jingu Bang directly towards the Primordial Honor’s head.
Sensing Sun Wukong’s attack, the Primordial Honor immediately opened his eyes; in those eyes, Sun Wukong saw a trace of fear. Without thinking more, the Jingu Bang smashed down, knocking the Primordial Honor off the stone platform. Simultaneously, Zhu Bajie leapt up, bringing the Nine-Toothed Rake down with full force on the Primordial Honor’s abdomen. As soon as Zhu Bajie withdrew, a red light descended from the sky, completely destroying the Primordial Honor’s head. The Primordial Honor, intact just moments ago, became a headless corpse in the blink of an eye.
Retrieving the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, Zhu Bajie uncertainly asked, “Brother Monkey, is this guy dead?” Sun Wukong also stepped down from the platform, approached the Primordial Honor’s corpse, and frowned. At this moment, the space next to Sun Wukong fluctuated, and Xi Zhao’s form slowly emerged, “This is fake.” Xi Zhao’s words were resolute. Sun Wukong didn’t show any surprise at Xi Zhao’s appearance, just asked, “How do you know?”
Xi Zhao did not answer, crouched down, pressed a few times on the Primordial Honor’s corpse, then flipped the Primordial Honor’s hand over. When Sun Wukong saw the palm, there was a character “Qi”. Seeing this character, Sun Wukong felt gloom; his luck was indeed not that good. Xi Zhao stood up, looked at Sun Wukong, and said, “The true form is not here; we are out of time.” Sun Wukong understood Xi Zhao’s meaning, though clearly lacking the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, Xi Zhao did not know that the Law Enforcers had already headed to the other valley.
What they had here was fake, meaning the other side was real. With their strength, eliminating a weakened Primordial Honor would not be difficult. However, Sun Wukong still needed to see for himself to be sure. Activating his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, Sun Wukong’s gaze traversed the endless space, arriving at the other valley, but merely with a glance, Sun Wukong was dumbstruck.
In that valley, something happened that Sun Wukong found inconceivable, yet his subconscious told him this occurrence was not accidental. However, it was something Sun Wukong simply could not accept.
“You were right; we are out of time.” (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to visit the Starting Point [qidian.com] to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
