Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 328 - 317 Supreme Elder Lord
At that moment, Sun Wukong forcefully smashed down his Jingu Bang, only to have it blocked by the Flame Taiji Diagram above the head of the fiery figure, and even more impressively, with its formidable defensive power and attack power, it managed to rebound the Jingu Bang undamaged. Even Sun Wukong was caught off guard and staggered from the rebound force of the Flame Taiji Diagram.
By then, Sun Wukong knew things were not good, and although he felt some familiarity and confusion regarding the fiery figure, he had no time to ponder it. As his body was pushed backward by the rebound force, he simply let his body flip over, and drawing on the backward momentum, he performed a backflip. At the same time, a glow flashed from the black and white battle boots on his right foot, and after a wisp of Three Thousand Desolate Sands clung to them, he directly kicked towards the chin of Tongtian.
The place where Sun Wukong had just appeared was right in front of Master Tongtian. Thus, after the Jingu Bang was blocked by the figure behind Tongtian, Sun Wukong took the opportunity to kick out. The kick was executed cunningly. Under normal circumstances, Tongtian might have avoided it simply by tilting his head back, but now, with another figure pressing close behind him, Tongtian’s evasive action had to be significantly greater.
Right when the fiery figure appeared, Sun Wukong, with his evolved Eyes of Fire that could observe the universe, noticed that this fiery figure was actually connected to Master Tongtian. With these eyes that now possessed the ability to observe in a three-dimensional panoramic view, even while standing in front of Tongtian, Sun Wukong could still see everything going on behind him clearly.
In fact, the might of the Eyes of Fire with a universe observing ability was not limited to this, but lately, Sun Wukong’s energy had been devoted to studying the Seal Heavenly Stamp and the World Suppressing Stele, and his exploration of the Eyes of Fire’s might was still only at the preliminary stage. However, even this rudimentary application had already brought immense benefits to Sun Wukong. With a bit more understanding, predicting an enemy’s movements and actions in battle would probably not be difficult.
But even though Sun Wukong’s kick was skillful, Tongtian was at his peak and had no intention of dodging. Instead, he suddenly stepped forward half a step while his hands burst into flames, and then he pressed down with both palms, blocking Sun Wukong’s kick before it could reach its full power.
Then a hint of triumph flashed in Tongtian’s eyes, and as he suddenly lowered his head, in Sun Wukong’s surprised gaze, the fiery figure behind Tongtian’s head rotated a complete one hundred and eighty degrees, in a way that defied human anatomy, turning from facing Sun Wukong’s back to facing him directly.
Similarly, the fiery figure had previously been spewing intense flames from its mouth, and now, as its head turned, the flames swept across the air, directly slicing towards Sun Wukong. Just as the flames were about to hit him, the small furnace initially the size of a fist inside flashed a red light and expanded to the size of a basin. Simultaneously, as the furnace grew, the temperature of the flame surged once again, and Sun Wukong could even see with his Eyes of Fire that the flames were ceaselessly permeating the surrounding space.
At the moment the furnace expanded, Sun Wukong was astonished, but his movements were without the slightest hesitation. His body leaned back once more, but since his right foot was still firmly pressed by Tongtian, Sun Wukong couldn’t use the backward momentum to escape the range of the flames. Nonetheless, he narrowly evaded the sweeping pillar of fire in the nick of time.
As the pillar of fire swept past, Sun Wukong exerted force from his waist. Utilizing the pressure on his legs from Tongtian, his body sprang up with even greater speed, and his fists, shrouded in black and white light mixed with fine Desolate Sands, fiercely smashed towards Tongtian’s head.
All of Sun Wukong’s movements, whether the reflexes of his body or the mastery of timing, were brought to the pinnacle. If someone far stronger than Sun Wukong had been in his place, they might not have been able to perform better than he did. And this was all thanks to his Eyes of Fire that had evolved to the peak.
Master Tongtian clearly did not expect Sun Wukong to be so fierce as to counterattack while dodging his own blows. At this moment, Tongtian’s palms blocked Sun Wukong’s kick, and just as he was about to pull his hands back to defend, he found that the black and white glow on Sun Wukong’s foot had somehow already entangled his palms.
Moreover, Tongtian discovered that a wisp of Desolate Sand had already attached to his waist and was eerily absorbing the fiery energy within his body. This revelation left Tongtian greatly shocked. What exactly was this thing that could even absorb the energy of the World Suppressing Stele?
Although Tongtian was somewhat distracted by the draining of his energy, the fiery figure behind him certainly was not. Just as Sun Wukong was about to smash his fists onto Tongtian’s head, the arms of the figure behind him bent backward in an impossible angle in an instant and caught Sun Wukong’s punches with a backhand grip.
Seeing the figure’s freakish movements for the second time, Sun Wukong felt his eyebrows twitch. But he did not linger on the thought, as his attack had been blocked, his right foot’s suction force disappeared in an instant, and with a bounce, he had already moved away from in front of Tongtian. After a few somersaults, Sun Wukong stopped ten meters away from Tongtian.
"Sun Wukong, I didn’t expect you to have some skill, it seems that the World Suppressing Stele known as Wasteland No. 3 is indeed remarkable! However, it’s a pity that even so, today, you are still going to die!" Just as Tongtian finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart because he discovered that the energy within his body was mysteriously devoured once again.
What’s going on? The sand that was clinging to Sanzang’s waist had already been burned to nothing by the inherent flame of the Burning Fire Stele, but why was the flame energy inside his body still being absorbed inexplicably? Startled, Tongtian suddenly turned his head, and that’s when he saw two stripes of yellow sand attached to the arms of the flame silhouette behind him. His own internal flame energy was being absorbed by these two stripes of Desolate Sand.
Tongtian first snorted coldly, and then, with a loud shout, Sun Wukong saw the fiery silhouette behind Tongtian actually detach from Tongtian’s body. A figure engulfed in crimson flames slowly turned around, lining up beside Tongtian, with eyes formed from two purple flames staring intently at Sun Wukong.
This move by Tongtian surprised Sun Wukong once again. If it weren’t for the fact that Tongtian’s life essence remained unchanged from that of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Sun Wukong might not even be able to confirm that the person before him was really Master Tongtian. Because at this moment, Tongtian, whether it was in terms of cultivation strength or the abilities displayed, had far exceeded Sun Wukong’s imagination. Read exclusive adventures at novelbuddy
The Desolate Sand that had just wrapped around Tongtian’s waist was refined by him, and Sun Wukong indeed sensed it. Moreover, he felt that the Desolate Sand wrapped around the arms of the flame silhouette was also being slowly refined into nothingness. Sun Wukong didn’t know what to say. Initially, he thought that with his great progress in strength, relying on the cultivation of a Peak Supreme and a series of methods, he should be considered a top-level powerhouse in this universe. With such strength, the grudges in the Pangu Realm were trivial, and revenge would certainly be easy once he could return to the Pangu Realm.
But Sun Wukong didn’t expect to encounter Master Tongtian here, and that Master Tongtian’s strength would be so terrifying, even the advantage of possessing the World Suppressing Stele seemed insignificant before him. This feeling made Sun Wukong feel like he was losing confidence.
However, when Sun Wukong raised his head to look at Tongtian and the fiery silhouette beside him, a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart. Combining his previous suspicions and conjectures, Sun Wukong blurted out, "Are you the Supreme Elder Lord?" In his voice, there was disbelief and incomprehension.
Tongtian, seeing Sun Wukong’s shocked expression, laughed heartily and said, "You have a pretty good eye, Demon Monkey. That’s right, this is my Senior Brother, also known as the essence of the Pangu Realm’s Taoist Sect’s Three Purities, the celestial who ascended to Heaven by transforming essential Qi into the deity, the ethical and moral Heavenly Venerate of Primordial Chaos, the Supreme Elder Lord. But now, well, he is my Combat Puppet. How about it, impressive strength, right?"
Hearing Tongtian’s smug tone and words, Sun Wukong felt a surge of nameless anger, and his somewhat shaken confidence was instantly overwhelmed by boundless fury. "You actually turned your Senior Brother into a puppet? Master Tongtian, do you have any humanity left at all?"
Tongtian sneered dismissively, "Humanity? What’s that? The old guy, Supreme Elder Lord, actually advised me to give up on revenge and even planned to use the Eight Trigrams Furnace to seal me. Hmph, Sun Wukong, when you rebelled against the Heaven back in the day and caused such a mess for us Taoist clan, did you think your death would wash away that disgrace? Having our Heaven eventually fall into the hands of Buddhism, such an indelible humiliation, how can I quench the hate boiling in my heart without slaughtering the Demon Clan? So I killed him before he made his move. Unexpectedly, after obtaining the Burning Fire Stele later, I wanted to refine him, and instead, he turned into a Flame Puppet, hehe, and it’s quite useful too!"
Listening to Tongtian’s words, Sun Wukong suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation. He recognized that the flame silhouette was the Supreme Elder Lord, not only because of the Taiji Symbol that appeared and the Eight Trigrams Furnace that once granted him Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, but most importantly, when the flame silhouette stood beside Tongtian, it displayed a very telling posture. The body stood straight, one hand behind the back, the other hand in the pose of holding the Taoist dust whisk. Even though the flame silhouette’s hands were empty, the posture was enough for Sun Wukong to recognize the significance of the gesture at a glance.
Back then, the Supreme Elder Lord held such high status and power that even the Jade Emperor had to request his assistance, not command it. Therefore, even now, turned into a puppet, his body still maintained the pride he had in life.

"Tongtian, if I don’t kill you, I would be letting down the Demon Clan and all beings!"
