Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 320 - 309: Netherworld VS Myriad Spirits - The Great War is Imminent
```
Approximately three Chinese hours after the group from the Netherworld World left the Genesis Palace, Zijing finally caught up. Without waiting for Sun Wukong to inquire about the outcome, Zijing simply shook her head. Intending to ask about the situation, Sun Wukong and the others, upon seeing Zijing’s expression, realized that things hadn’t gone as smoothly as imagined, and thus refrained from saying more. However, once Zijing had arrived, the group’s pace greatly increased.
Hatred, at times, is a force that endows those who bear it with tremendous potential in critical moments. Yet, at other times, it blinds them to everything but their own vengeance. Zijing Sun Wukong and Flame God belonged to the former category, individuals who turned hatred into strength to move forward.
Luo Chen, evidently, belonged to the latter. His hatred had been deeply concealed because, not having seen the World Suppressing Stele, he had believed revenge was unattainable. However, the moment he saw Sun Wukong and the Wasteland Stele, he knew his chance for vengeance had come. With the World Suppressing Stele, there was a possibility of avenging the murder of his father and the destruction of his nation.
In truth, with Luo Chen’s intellect, how could he not have realized that there was a problem with World Suppressing Stele Wasteland Number Three and that it was the demise of the Dominion of Soil? Nonetheless, what did that matter? As long as it granted him the power for revenge, what harm was there in falling into the evil path? Besides, Luo Chen’s initial plan was to obtain World Suppressing Stele Wasteland Number Three and then find a way to sneak into the Annihilation Demon Nation to unleash the horrific devouring ability of the Wasteland Stele.
If my Dominion of Soil perished for this reason, then you, the culprits, must be buried alongside us.
What Luo Chen hadn’t expected was that he now lacked even the strength to reclaim the World Suppressing Stele. And due to the special nature of the Wasteland Stele, he couldn’t rely on the people from the Genesis Divine Nation; therefore, after being defeated by Sun Wukong, Luo Chen truly felt lost. His millennia of arduous cultivation culminated in weakness; he could not defeat an unknown individual, the Heavenly Stele was within reach, but he lacked the power to reclaim it.
When Luo Chen heard Zijing’s voice in the Genesis Palace, he was astonished, followed immediately by ecstatic joy. Perhaps his own strength was insufficient, but Zijing was, after all, the strongest in the Patrolling Celestial World, aside from his father. He couldn’t reclaim the stele, but Zijing surely could.
But the ultimate outcome left Luo Chen deeply disappointed. He felt that Zijing had changed, that the long years had made her forget the deep-seated hatred. Although Zijing repeatedly proclaimed her desire for revenge, Luo Chen saw something different in her eyes from what he hoped for. And when Luo Chen proposed they join forces to ambush Sun Wukong and seize the World Suppressing Stele, Zijing outright refused him.
So, the final result was that Luo Chen turned and left.
With persuasion proving fruitless, Zijing had no choice but to leave. Regardless of what Luo Chen thought or planned, Zijing had her own strategy, the first step of which was to ensure the Netherworld World triumphed in the trial of the Patrolling Celestial World. Only then could her subsequent series of plans be implemented.
Finally, on the noon of the third day, the people of the Netherworld World halted. According to the map, if they crossed the mountain ahead, they would find the location of the Myriad Spirits Palace in the Myriad Spirits Realm. Additionally, proceeding further would likely lead them into barriers or traps set by the Myriad Spirits Realm, so for now, they needed to rest on-site to recover the physical and spiritual energy expended over the past days.
At this juncture, it’s impossible not to mention the wonderful Bodhi Tree within Sun Wukong, infused by Dao Zhun, especially its formidable healing and recovery abilities discovered during the battle with Transforming Thunder. During the journey, Sun Wukong had been pondering the use of the Wonderful Bodhi Tree, and after more than two days of research and experimentation, he could now leverage its abilities, though not in full, to restore everyone’s physical and spiritual energy.
Moreover, recovery with the Wonderful Bodhi Tree was no less efficient than consuming those top-level elixirs. In the Patrolling Celestial World, where no supplies were available, every elixir was extremely precious; hence the group, naturally, was keen on conserving whenever possible. Now, the group of thirty settled down together, with Sun Wukong manipulating the Wonderful Bodhi Tree to hover above their heads, healing everyone with its radiant green glow.
At this moment, the people of the Myriad Spirits Realm were unaware that their first formidable opponent since entering the Patrolling Celestial World was now close at hand. Aside from Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, Myriad Spirits Realm certainly had suffered the greatest losses among the ten powers of the Patrolling Celestial World to this point. Initially, in an exploring party led by Master Tongtian, all but Tongtian perished. In subsequent explorations, more came to unfortunate ends, including five from Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm. Now, counting them all, the Myriad Spirits Realm had only twenty-four people left.

Just a few days ago, upon learning of the destruction of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, the leader of the Myriad Spirits Realm, the Illusory Master, realized that trouble was brewing. During the initial explorations that took place at the beginning of the trials, explorers from the Myriad Spirits Realm had already located the Transforming Thunder Palace. However, the exploration team did not make direct contact with the people of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, but instead chose to retreat and report their findings to the Illusory Master back at the Myriad Spirits Palace.
After some thought, the Illusory Master decided to ally with the people of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm. In fact, the Myriad Spirits Realm had always been on good terms with the Fangcun Spirit Realm, just as Dao Zhun had said. Nonetheless, when Ling Yi, the Domain Lord of the Myriad Spirits Realm, stumbled upon Tongtian, and learned of Master Tongtian’s formidable strength and his possession of a Supreme Treasure, his ambitions became uncontrollable.
Both the Myriad Spirits Realm and the Myriad Gods Hall had always been at the bottom of the Six Great Divine Nations, and to the Myriad Spirits Realm—reputed to be the cradle of the Taoist Sect—this was unbearable. However, due to their own lack of strength, they had been forced to bide their time. Yet when Master Tongtian emerged, Ling Yi knew the Myriad Spirits Realm’s opportunity had arrived.
So, he secretly formed an alliance with Lei Wanfa, the Domain Lord of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm. Their initial plan was to join forces and launch a surprise attack on the Canglan River Realm. However, due to the trials in the Patrolling Celestial World, they had to temporarily halt this plan to prepare for the upcoming trial. Thus, after learning the location of the Transforming Thunder Palace, after some deliberation, the Illusory Master still felt it was best to send someone to the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm to forge an alliance.

But unexpectedly, before those five people could return, the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm was annihilated. After waiting for three days, the Illusory Master knew they would never return. Alarmed, the Illusory Master then adopted a complete defensive approach. All the remaining individuals ceased their external activities, setting up all kinds of barriers, traps, and warning arrays around the Myriad Spirits Palace.
The Illusory Master was also aware of Master Tongtian’s formidable strength, so his plan was to defend first. If they were attacked, they would use the terrain and the strength of the nearby formations, coupled with Master Tongtian’s powerful capabilities, to launch a defensive counterattack, ensuring that the assaulting enemy would be met with a one-way ticket to destruction. Moreover, he knew that the Transforming Thunder Palace was not far from the Myriad Spirits Palace, and to outsiders, it seemed that they had lost five people, making it highly likely that after the Transforming Thunder Palace, they would be the second target to be attacked.
However, the Illusory Master was confident that with his Domain Lord level strength and the power of Master Tongtian’s Supreme Treasure, he could annihilate the invading enemy.

In fact, the Illusory Master’s prediction was very accurate. At this moment, a group from the Netherworld World was sitting in meditation and recovering just beyond a nearby mountain. Once the people of the Netherworld World had recuperated, a great battle would erupt.
On the one side were thirty individuals, including a powerful Rogue Heart Sword Hero of Domain Lord level and Xi Zhao, once the first of the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms and a former Domain Lord of the Annihilation Demon Nation, as well as Zijing, a former Guardian of the Dominion of Soil, coupled with the Burst Phoenix Clan’s prodigy, the Flame God, and Sun Wukong, whose strength had greatly improved. Of course, there was also Ming Wanjie, originally the top denizen of the Netherworld World’s Inner City, and the Netherworld Five Battle Generals, making the Netherworld World’s strength absolutely formidable.
On the side of the Myriad Spirits Realm were the Domain Lord level strongman, the Saint Illusory Master, and Master Tongtian in whom the Domain Lord of the Myriad Spirits Realm had placed great hopes. In addition, there was Gu Lang, said to be capable of using Origin Power in his Taoist Techniques, and Huan Meng, who possessed the most potent Illusion Technique within the Myriad Spirits Realm. Although outnumbered, the Myriad Spirits Realm’s overall strength, relying on those powerful formations, was not much lesser than that of the Netherworld World.
Just as a battle between the Myriad Spirits Realm and the Netherworld World was about to break out, the Myriad Demons Country finally made contact with the people of the Annihilation Demon Nation using a fragment of a map. The two groups had long been allies, so they hit it off immediately. Moreover, with that fragment of the map, the Myriad Demons Country also successfully located the Myriad Gods Hall.
While the Netherworld World was preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Myriad Spirits Realm, the Myriad Demons Country and the Annihilation Demon Nation also began plotting their assault on the Myriad Gods Hall.
Of course, besides the Netherworld, Genesis, Myriad Spirits, Myriad Demons, and Annihilation, five factions with their own agendas, the Canglan River Realm and the Ancient Primordial World also made their own discoveries and were executing their plans as well.
