Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 906 - 791: Unexpected
Chapter 906 -791: Unexpected
At the beginning, it was as Sun Wukong had imagined. The nine Law Enforcers, based on their subtle connection with the little monkey, indeed found this canyon again after leaving the one shrouded in the Illusory Realm. They were quite certain that the Primordial Honor and the little monkey were within. This time, they were much more cautious. Although there weren’t any Array traps in the previous canyon, the people inside made the battle very tough. Fortunately, none of the nine of them died.
Moreover, this time they learned to be clever and entered through the entrance, which was not easy. They encountered several traps, but luckily they did not meet any experts in Soul and Essence diversion. Then, just like before, in the deepest part of the canyon, on that stone platform, they saw the Primordial Honor sitting cross-legged, his posture and aura exactly as Sun Wukong had seen. The Heavenly Patroller immediately noticed the Primordial Honor’s poor state, extremely weak, with cultivation around that of a Domain Lord to Half-step Heavenly Venerate. Any one of them could easily kill him.
However, the Heavenly Patroller did not kill the Primordial Honor. He also knew that the Spirit was likely absorbed by the Primordial Honor because the Spirit’s aura emanating from the Primordial Honor’s body was clearly perceptible when standing in front of him. The Heavenly Patroller didn’t know what consequences killing the Primordial Honor at this moment would bring. If nothing happened, it would be fine, but if the absorbed Spirit dissipated due to the Primordial Honor’s death, it would all be in vain. Therefore, the Punisher was asked to severely injure the Primordial Honor.
But it was at this moment that a problem arose. When the Heavenly Patroller was about to start extracting the Spirit from the Primordial Honor, the Spirit Controller suddenly organized the Heavenly Patroller. Everyone knew that whoever extracted the Spirit, it would belong to them. Originally, it was reasonable for the Heavenly Patroller to do it given his position, but now the Law Enforcers were no longer the same as before. Except for the Punisher and the Judge, everyone else had long developed ulterior motives. Being refined from the same furnace of Elixirs, why should the Heavenly Patroller be the leader?
Everyone had to listen to him, and he took all the benefits. This could have been tolerated before, but now, in the face of this Eternity, the accumulated discontent finally exploded. Facing such eternal benefits, all the dark sides of human nature were finally laid bare. The Spirit Controller’s discontent was already evident during the Patrolling Celestial World trial. At that time, the Spirit Controller tried to destroy the Patrolling Celestial World and eliminate the Underworld God Army to get rid of all the other Law Enforcers in one fell swoop. However, his plan ultimately failed.
Fortunately, he covered his tracks so skillfully that the Heavenly Patroller didn’t notice anything unusual. Only the Judge had some suspicions about him, but there was no evidence. Although he failed that time, the Spirit Controller did not give up. His immense ambition made him unwilling to remain silent. He wanted to become the master of the universe, ruling everything. And after the Fallen Tomb opened, he finally saw hope again. So all along this path, he was cautious and did not reveal the slightest hint of his ambitions, so no one discovered his true intent until now.
He intended to obtain that Spirit, completing the endpoint of the Supreme Path, becoming an eternal being. Therefore, in the matter of extracting the Spirit from the Primordial Honor, he insisted on doing it himself. The Heavenly Patroller looked at the Spirit Controller, a bit surprised yet very naturally. “You’ve surprised me, not with your current actions, but with your forbearance. I thought you would have acted earlier, but I didn’t expect you’d endure until the very last moment.”
The Spirit Controller’s face revealed a twisted smile. “You also surprised me. I waited for you to show a flaw, but you were very cautious, tempting me multiple times, but I endured. Heavenly Patroller, you’ve held this leader’s position for over a million years, it’s time for someone else to take over.” The Heavenly Patroller did not rush to extract the Primordial Honor’s Spirit but looked at the Spirit Controller with keen interest and said, “You’re not wrong, but I don’t think you have the strength for it.”
The Spirit Controller chuckled and said, “Maybe I alone don’t possess that strength, but what if we join forces?” As the Spirit Controller’s words fell, the others who had been standing together immediately aligned themselves behind the Spirit Controller, of course, leaving the Judge and Punisher still at the Heavenly Patroller’s sides. “We are six to your three, with two attacking one, I see our chances of winning.” The Heavenly Patroller’s face changed slightly, but he remained calm, “Is this your plan? Covertly instigating the five of them just to overthrow me? Then I want to know, after you get rid of me, who will this Eternity belong to?”
The Spirit Controller disdainfully replied, “We naturally have our own methods for that, and you don’t need to know. Heavenly Patroller, if you are smart, you’ll cripple your own cultivation, and out of brotherhood from all these years, I might spare your life and let you find a place to live peacefully; otherwise, today, there’s only a dead end for you.”
The Heavenly Patroller regrettably said, “It seems, after so many years, you still don’t understand. Many things require absolute strength; without corresponding strength, everything is just illusion.” Just as the Heavenly Patroller finished speaking, the Spirit Controller suddenly smirked and said, “Do it!” Upon hearing the Spirit Controller’s words, the Heavenly Patroller realized the time had come to understand everything. However, unexpectedly, neither the Spirit Controller nor those behind him made a move. In an instant, the Heavenly Patroller realized what was happening, but before he could turn, two long swords had pierced through his body from both sides.
The Heavenly Patroller’s expression changed dramatically, seemingly unable to believe what was happening before him. His gaze was filled with terror. “Heavenly Patroller, you didn’t expect this, did you? Even the Judge and Punisher, who you trust the most, have become mine. Now, you are truly isolated and helpless, so you should seriously consider my words to cripple your own cultivation and spare your own life.” The Heavenly Patroller did not move; his situation was extremely precarious. If he made any movement, the Judge and Punisher would instantly tear his body apart. Taking a deep breath, the Heavenly Patroller said, “I can’t believe you have such sentiments for me.”
With the Spirit Controller assured of victory, he was in no hurry, “Actually, I have no personal hatred for you. It’s just that I wish to achieve Eternity, and so do you, therefore, I must eliminate you. Rest assured, Heavenly Patroller, I’ll give you a proper burial.” After the Spirit Controller finished, the Heavenly Patroller suddenly laughed heartily. Seeing the Heavenly Patroller’s inexplicable laughter, the Spirit Controller felt a sudden unease, stemming from the long-standing pressure from the Heavenly Patroller. But he couldn’t understand, with the situation as it was, what could the Heavenly Patroller have left? As long as he gave the command, the Judge and Punisher would not hesitate to kill the Heavenly Patroller.
“Oh, Spirit Controller, you know, if not for your words, you would have died long ago. However, now it’s about time. Seeing as you were so determined to stay loyal to me, I will ensure you are well-buried and might even consider leaving your body intact. Source World, reveal yourself.” As the Heavenly Patroller spoke these words, the Spirit Controller’s face turned; he suddenly understood everything, understanding the sensitivity and calm in the Heavenly Patroller’s eyes, also realizing the source of his inner unease.
The Spirit Controller saw the Source World Master standing next to him smile at him, then raise his right hand and snap his fingers. The Spirit Controller’s face immediately transformed from ugly to absolute despair, a deep despair. With the Source World Master’s snap, everything around suddenly began to change. The first thing the Spirit Controller saw was the wounds on the Heavenly Patroller disappearing, and the swords that pierced his body vanished too. The Heavenly Patroller now stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him full of amusement.
He then found that the people who had been standing beside him had all appeared at the Heavenly Patroller’s side. And around him, there was no one. No, it wasn’t completely empty, there was someone, the Warrior Dancer, and not only the Warrior Dancer, behind him were densely packed over a hundred Divine Swords, all aimed at various parts of his body. The Spirit Controller believed that the slightest movement from him, all those long swords would unhesitatingly pierce his body.
The Spirit Controller’s face turned ashen, but he was unwilling to give in. He abruptly looked at the Heavenly Patroller, his eyes brimming with unwillingness, “Why? Why did they choose you?”
The Heavenly Patroller met his gaze with an imposing demeanor and said, “You were wrong, you have always been wrong. They have stood by my side from the beginning, and everything you have seen was what I allowed you to see. I knew about the matters in the Patrolling Celestial World long ago, and everything that followed was because I wanted to hear your true thoughts directly. Now it seems, you are beyond redemption. Without strength to match your ambitions, all you are left with is a tragedy!” (To be continued.
