Great Demon Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong had not paid much attention to Li Jing, but when they came to blows, Wukong realized that not only had Li Jing's cultivation reached the Half-step Great Path, but his combat power had also attained this level. This surprise was no small matter for Wukong.

There are indeed several methods if one's cultivation is to advance by leaps and bounds. The first is to consume Heaven and Earth Treasures, utilizing the immense spiritual power contained within to break through one's realm.

Another method is for a person of a higher cultivation realm to be willing to infuse all of their cultivated realm into another, which can also rapidly enhance strength in a short period. As for other unorthodox methods or even more special methods, Wukong was unaware.

However, these two methods, or rather all methods that can rapidly enhance strength, come with certain risks. After all, strength not cultivated bit by bit by oneself will definitely not be as controllable at will. But, in the fleeting moments of combat with Li Jing, Wukong could feel that Li Jing's cultivation was absolutely not attained in a short time.

Whether it was the use of power or the combat techniques of this level, Li Jing was certainly a master, a master fully qualified to do battle with himself.

Could it be that Li Jing has always been a supremely skilled master hidden from sight? What then is his purpose in hiding his strength and being a marshal in Heaven? With his prowess, he could very well be a supreme existence in Heaven.

Since it was incomprehensible, Wukong no longer pondered. No matter what schemes Li Jing had, today, he must die, even if he is Nezha's father. I have opposed the Heavenly Dao, and now this Taoist Sect shall be utterly eradicated. Since you seek a life-and-death fight, then I shall accompany you to the end.

Having come to this realization, Wukong no longer held back. The Five-Colored Divine Stone was summoned, enveloping Wukong in its five-colored glow, providing him with a continuous supply of immense power. As long as this world did not perish, the Five-Colored Divine Stone could offer him an unlimited amount of tremendous spiritual power. What had he to fear?

With a roar, Wukong was ready to transform into his true form, the Heaven-Supporting Giant Ape. However, just as Wukong was about to transform, the five-colored light surrounding him suddenly fluctuated and then all submerged into his body.

Moreover, the Five-Colored Divine Light, unlike the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power previously supplied to Wukong, contained more than just the powers of the Five Elements; it was mostly a power belonging to Chaos.

"This power, this power..."

Feeling this bizarre force, Wukong seemed to have an epiphany. Then, casting an indifferent glance at Li Jing, who was exerting his full power to activate the Exquisite Pagoda not far away, Wukong softly uttered, "Five Elements Chaotic Body, complete!"

Then, a dull gray radiance burst forth from Wukong's body. Wukong transformed into a three-meter-tall being covered in gray fur, his muscles solid yet bursting with power. His eyes shone golden, and two beams of golden light constantly shot forth, the corners of his mouth bearing two fangs over three feet long, sharp and resilient.

Looking down at his new form, Wukong let out a wicked smile. This was his true self, whether as the Heaven-Supporting Giant Ape Ye Hao, or the Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong; those were merely manifestations of his incomplete self when his power had not reached its zenith. The Giant Ape was a manifestation of power, while Sun Wukong was a manifestation of cultivation. Now, he was complete.

Chaos, all powers amalgamated into one, awakening the real self. The sensation was marvellous.

Afterward, the Chaotic Body Wukong suddenly looked up at Li Jing and let out a chuckling laugh, then disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was directly above Li Jing's head. Sensing Wukong's ghostly speed, Li Jing's complexion couldn't help but change. This was Beyond the Heavens, a place that could suppress thirty percent of one's combat power.

Yet, he still possessed such terrifying speed. Could it be that Wukong was not affected by the spatial suppression of Beyond the Heavens?

Although he felt some panic,

the very next moment, thinking of the reason he came here, all panic dissipated, leaving behind only the strong resolve to kill Wukong.

In Li Jing's right palm, the Exquisite Pagoda sensed the boundless intent to kill and instantly radiated a dazzling treasure light. And all the light in a split second conjured a similar pagoda above Li Jing's head. However, by the time the pagoda took shape, Wukong was already gone.

Knowing his speed was far inferior to Wukong's, Li Jing did not intend to compete with Wukong in speed. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the void, placing the Exquisite Pagoda in front of him. Then Li Jing began to chant in Brahman, and countless mysterious characters scattered from his body and surged into the Exquisite Pagoda before him.

Meanwhile, Wukong stood quietly not far from Li Jing, simply watching as Li Jing prepared what could likely be a life-threatening move against him.

"Li Jing, considering that you were once Nezha's father and that Nezha is not only my friend but also a person who has shown me profound kindness, I will give you time to ready your ultimate move," said Wukong.

At the Half-step Great Path Realm, many techniques were useless. If one wished to stake their life to annihilate the opponent completely, they could only employ their strongest attack. Otherwise, it was merely a prolonging of the inevitable. Li Jing knew this, and so did Wukong.

Therefore, the moment the two engaged, it was time to decide life or death. Although Wukong did not know why Li Jing harbored such strong murderous intent towards him, since you wish to kill me, then be prepared to be killed.
