Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 317 - 306: The World Suppressing Stele Activates, Transforming Thunder Elimination

Xi Zhao then reached out his palm to the empty air, and the light blue Light Barrier set by Jue Luan shattered instantly. Jue Luan was taken aback for a moment; the light blue Light Barrier was not as simple as it seemed, yet it had been directly crushed by Xi Zhao’s single hand, and he couldn’t even sense how Xi Zhao had managed to do it.

One must understand that Jue Luan was indeed a Domain Lord Level powerhouse, while Xi Zhao was merely at the Supreme Peak level—the disparity between them was quite significant. After looking at Xi Zhao and Sun Wukong deeply once more, Jue Luan then put away the map and the Supreme Order of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, turned around without another word, and walked towards where the people from the Genesis Divine Nation were.

Jue Luan had always been a clever person. Xi Zhao’s action was far from being merely tearing the Barrier. It was a message from Xi Zhao to Jue Luan, saying that the Netherworld World possessed enough strength that even without cooperation, it would not face any problems. Thus, Jue Luan knew that saying anything more would be useless and would only make him seem indecisive and nagging.

Xi Zhao watched Jue Luan’s figure with a slightly complex look in his eyes. Back in the day, Xi Zhao had been the number one person amongst the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms—his status was extremely exalted. At that time, he wouldn’t consider a Domain Lord Level powerhouse from a minor godly domain, let alone the actual Domain Lords from other Divine Kingdoms. In Xi Zhao’s eyes back then, although the Netherworld World was also one of the Divine Kingdoms, he had never paid much attention to it or to Yue Huangquan.

After that incident, Xi Zhao’s status plummeted overnight—from the number one person of the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms to a wandering soul in the smaller Netherworld. It took him literally millions of years to recover from the shock of that event. His disposition drastically changed, from the domineering and unparalleled supreme ruler to an ordinary person who seemed to have no temper, even able to roughhouse with individuals like Sun Wukong and Flame God.

However, there was a pride that always existed in the depths of Xi Zhao’s heart. Hence, after becoming the leader of the Netherworld World in this Patrolling Celestial World trial, Xi Zhao’s goal was to be the first. The reason why he gave the Supreme Order of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm to the Genesis Divine Nation just now was to repay a debt of gratitude to Yue Huangquan, who had likely saved him from being discovered and annihilated by that traitor from the Annihilation Demon Nation.

As for Yue Huangquan, he actually had no intention of being the first in this Patrolling Celestial World trial. Standing out in the forest much attracts the wind, and if they truly became the first among the Six Great Divine Nations, the pressure that the Netherworld World would have to bear would be far greater. Given the Netherworld World’s unique environment and circumstances, their combat power was not strong. After all, everyone in the Netherworld World was in the form of a soul and held some form of yearning for their past life or regrets.

Therefore, although the Netherworld World had the largest population among all Divine Nations and high-level worlds, their combat power was only in the middle to lower tiers. The Genesis Divine Nation, on the other hand, possessed powerful strength of its own. Coupled with the Chaotic Giant Clan within the nation, their combat power was definitely one of the best among all Divine Nations and high-level worlds.

Thus, the most advantageous strategy for the Netherworld World was to aim for a relatively high ranking in the Patrolling Celestial World trial, with second place being ideal. If possible, they would try their best to help the Genesis Divine Nation become first. This was Yue Huangquan’s true intention. But Xi Zhao did not think so; whether because of his pride or his own plans, Xi Zhao’s goal was to be first!

That being said, parting ways with Genesis Divine Nation had always been Xi Zhao’s initial plan, it just hasn’t come to that before this incident. Regardless, the alliance during this first operation was quite essential. After all, everyone is unfamiliar with this world, and by combining the forces of two nations to eliminate another, it allowed our people to acclimate to this mode of battle, which is decidedly beneficial.

Another point, unknown to all, is that Xi Zhao took this opportunity to thoroughly assess Genesis Divine Nation’s strength. The conclusion Xi Zhao reached in the end was that Genesis Divine Nation is indeed mighty. Setting aside Domain Lord Level Jue Luan, even Luo Chen, when going all out, possessed the combat power of an ordinary Domain Lord Level. Add to that Qian Shang from the Chaotic Giant Clan, Spellcaster Meng Lan, among others, it’s fair to say their strength absolutely surpasses that of Netherworld World.

However, Netherworld World isn’t without the ability to contend. As long as the subsequent battles are well-arranged, Netherworld World has a real chance of becoming the top contender in this trial. Let’s not forget that Netherworld World still has a number of Guardian Puppets which exceeds Genesis Divine Nation’s by twice.

As he watched Jue Luan walk away, Xi Zhao supported Sun Wukong and then took a final look around, his eyebrows slightly furrowing. He called over Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Ming Wanjie, whispered a few words in their ears, and then addressed everyone, "The battle is over, and we’ve won a complete victory. However, according to Yue Huangquan, we should help Genesis Divine Nation to secure the first place in this trial as much as possible. So, I intend to cede Transforming Thunder Palace to them. Does anyone have any objections?"

Having said that, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Ming Wanjie were the first to shake their heads, then suddenly turned and walked towards the previously accumulated corpses of Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm’s people from the earlier battle.

The Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm was annihilated in this battle, but the remaining corpses numbered only fifteen or sixteen, among which three belonged to the Myriad Spirits Realm. The rest were either completely destroyed or turned to ash in the explosions triggered by Bai Yi and another’s self-destruction. Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelbuddy

Xi Zhao’s gaze swept over everyone present, several of whom appeared to hold their tongues, hesitant to speak, yet ultimately remained silent. Among these indecisive individuals were Flame God and the Five Great War Generals. "Since no one has any objections, then it is decided. Also, from now on, Netherworld World will act independently. Everyone saw what happened just now, Wukong severely wounded Genesis Divine Nation’s Luo Chen. There’s no need for you to know the reason, but the fact that our cooperation ends here is true! Does anyone disagree with this?"

This time, everyone shook their heads without hesitation. The atmosphere had already been quite tense, and although most people from Netherworld World did not know the precise cause of the conflict between Sun Wukong and Luo Chen, they could somewhat guess. After all, Luo Chen’s nearly insane behavior and his incessant cries for the World Suppressing Stele had led everyone to speculate.

"Alright, let’s all rest here and recover from our injuries. Once everyone has fully recuperated, we will head straight back to Netherworld Palace!" Having finished speaking, Xi Zhao found a clean spot to sit down with Sun Wukong, then pulled out a few Jade Vases and poured out three Elixirs for Sun Wukong to consume. Seeing Sun Wukong meditate after taking the Elixirs, Xi Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the others in the Netherworld World were also busily consuming the elixirs they carried to start their recovery. The journey back was by no means easy. Quickly, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Ming Wanjie returned as well, but both shook their heads and then began to sit and meditate to recover their strength.

As the people of the Netherworld World sat and recovered, Jue Luan and Qian Shang of the Genesis Divine Nation did not rest. Instead, they took the Supreme Order that originally belonged to the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm and approached the Mountain Protection Array. Despite the annihilation of everyone from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, the array was still operating on its own. However, due to Sun Wukong’s attack, the Great Formation now had only about half of its original defensive power.

Qian Shang placed his hands on the Great Formation, feeling its operations carefully, and then took a deep breath before shouting lowly. Next, without any warning, he directly entered the fourth decision of the Chaos Five Decisions, the Chaos Giant Transformation, and it was even the miniature version.

Originally, Qian Shang was quite tall, standing at about two and a half meters. Now, he grew an additional meter in height, and his muscles rapidly bulged all over his body. His hair also instantly turned grey-white. The most notable difference when one is in the Chaos Giant Transformation is that the hair turns grey-white and the body becomes enveloped in pure Chaos Aura.

After entering the Chaos Giant Transformation, Qian Shang turned to glance at Sun Wukong and then abruptly threw a punch. However, the Mountain Protection Array of the Transforming Thunder Palace, although severely weakened by Sun Wukong, was not something that could be shattered with one punch from Qian Shang. Knowing this, following his punch, he twisted his body and launched another attack with his elbow.

With every attack, the Mountain Protection Array trembled violently. By the time Qian Shang delivered the fifth strike, the array could no longer withstand the assault and a breach appeared in front of him, over two meters high and more than a meter wide. Subsequently, Jue Luan and Qian Shang entered the Transforming Thunder Palace through this breach.

About half an incense stick’s time later, a deep purple light intermixed with streaks of thunder shot up from within the Transforming Thunder Palace. The already fractured Mountain Protection Array was shattered by the purple light. As the purple light ascended, everyone nearby was enveloped in a similar purple glow, though much softer in comparison.

The injuries of the people and their depleted spiritual power started recovering at an unbelievable rate. When the purple light reached its zenith, a sentence echoed in the ears of everyone in the Patrolling Celestial World, repeated three times before fading away, "The World Suppressing Stele of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm has been activated, and all members have perished, forfeiting the chance of recovery, eliminated!"

In this moment, everyone from the Seven Powers, except for the Netherworld World and Genesis Divine Nation, was shocked and could hardly believe what they had heard. Only after repeatedly confirming with each other did they begin to realize with horror that it was true!

How long had the trial started that a faction was already eliminated? And most importantly, how had the entire Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm been wiped out? All thirty-six members were dead? How was this possible? Who had the power to annihilate the opponent when the numbers were equal?

Or could it be that two or even three powers had combined forces?

For a time, the entire Patrolling Celestial World was in an uproar, although this commotion was among only those participating in the trial.

Some, upon receiving this news, first thought that perhaps their opportunity had come. To wipe out the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, the attacking party would surely have suffered significant damage. Even if it was a joint effort by two forces, there would definitely be casualties. With casualties, if they could only find that group...

Others first thought of finding allies. Alone, whether in offense or defense, one seemed a bit too vulnerable, so finding allies became of utmost importance.

Still others began to focus all-out on defense. Without a map, finding other forces was not simple; thus, fortifying one’s familiar terrain to be as solid as gold was preferable. Then, if an attack came, they could rely on terrain familiarity to outmaneuver or even defeat the invaders.

No matter the strategy, the elimination of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm marked the transition of the trial into a new phase, a phase of combat!

At this moment, the people of the Netherworld World had already embarked on the road back home.
