Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 670 - 615: The Truth About the Ancient War
Yes, Sun Wukong saw Dao Zhun, his mentor, the elder who had wholeheartedly sacrificed himself in the end. Sun Wukong’s eyes instantly moistened. "A man has tears but does not lightly shed them, only when he reaches the place of heartbreak," how could he not have tears streaming down his face, now seeing his mentor Dao Zhun once again? However, Sun Wukong’s sadness was short-lived, as he knew there must be some very important information within these visions, and it would be inappropriate to miss them due to his grief. Thus, with great effort, he suppressed his surging emotions and watched the scene closely.

Zhu Bajie was similarly drawn to the vast expanse of the universe and the countless figures within it. "Brother Monkey, what is this? It looks like two armies are battling, and how come these two guys are so big? Moreover, this ten-thousand-meter giant looks exactly like you after you transform into the Heaven-Supporting Giant Ape, Brother Monkey. When did you have so many doppelgangers?" By now, Sun Wukong already knew the contents of the scene. Those two ten-thousand-meter-tall giants, and the armies behind them, which included almost all the races in the current universe, signified another super battle.
It was clear, this must be a scene from an ancient super battle, a memory of someone presented before the eyes of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie by some method. The ten-thousand-meter-tall giant ape resembling his own transformation as the Heaven-Supporting Giant Ape should be the transformed true form of the Pioneer. Seeing this, Sun Wukong’s confusion deepened. If the content of this vision was not faked and was completely true, it meant that he really looked almost exactly like the Pioneer, even in the transformed form of the Heaven-Supporting Giant Ape.
And the vision made it obvious that whether it was his Teacher, the current Law Enforcers, the Nine Elixirs, or the Crimson Army and the Underworld God Army in the battle, they should have all seen the Pioneer’s true form and humanoid state. This brought about a discrepancy. Since he looked exactly like the Pioneer, their first reaction upon meeting him should have been to mistake him for the Pioneer himself, followed by expressions or reactions of considerable surprise. But in reality, whether it was the Crimson Army, the Underworld God Army, or Yue Huangquan, their expressions upon meeting him were very normal, with no signs of anything unusual.
If Yue Huangquan, the Crimson Army, and his Teacher were pretending, there was no way the Underworld God Army and that Spirit Controller would have any reason to pretend to not see. The Pioneer was their great enemy. Therefore, the more normal their behavior, the more abnormal actual events were. Unless all of them were in cahoots to deceive him, which seemed to have no reason, and was also not plausible since the Underworld God Army and the Crimson Army were mortal enemies. For a moment, Sun Wukong felt a headache coming on; these sudden and various doubts, and ones for which he could not seem to find an answer, made him feel quite terrible.
It was as if he had been watching a group of people vying with each other in intrigue, and he, who had originally stood outside the circle as a passing bystander, suddenly realized that not only was he not merely an onlooker, but he was also the center of their conflict, which made him feel almost suffocated. After taking several deep breaths, Sun Wukong continued to watch the scene play out. The scene remained silent, but the mega battle involving millions still made his heart race and his blood boil. Among the images, Sun Wukong saw a kilometer-long giant Fire Phoenix, incredibly fierce, with everything in its path exploding on impact, dominating the battlefield without meeting a match.
He also saw a Demon Clan individual only a dozen meters tall, seemingly frail but exceedingly fierce, with each of his attacks ensuring the fall of an opponent. Then, people Sun Wukong recognized and did not recognize all appeared, one after another, even the leaders of the Underworld God Army and the Crimson Army. Yet, these did not seem to be the focus; the scene swiftly moved on. Finally, when the vision focused on Dao Zhun, the pace slowed down.
"Could it be that my Teacher has some hidden secrets unknown to others in this matter?" Sun Wukong was sure that the key message of the vision must center on his Teacher, Dao Zhun; otherwise, the previous scenes wouldn’t have passed by so quickly. Sun Wukong watched with bated breath as he saw Dao Zhun drenched in blood, having clearly been through a struggle. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the Teacher in the vision was much younger than he is now, and the entire figure radiated a strong aura of divinity—this was indeed the true appearance of an Immortal.
Having defeated his enemy, Dao Zhun then observed the battle between the two giants at the center of the battlefield. The Pioneer’s transformed Giant Ape was at a disadvantage, facing an equally gigantic being with two curved horns, appearing very much like a demon. Seeing the struggling Pioneer, Dao Zhun’s eyes did not show the slightest bit of panic; instead, they revealed a sense of relief. This puzzled and bewildered Sun Wukong greatly. Why would his Teacher have such an expression? Wasn’t the Teacher on the side of the Pioneer? Why would the Teacher smile at the Pioneer’s disadvantage?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart once again, Sun Wukong kept watching. After seeing the Pioneer at a disadvantage, Dao Zhun no longer paid attention to the surrounding fight and instead flashed across much of the battlefield in a few quick moves, arriving beside someone. Sun Wukong recognized this person—it was one of the Nine Elixirs who had previously transformed into a human form. After speaking to this person, the individual nodded, and then Dao Zhun vanished into the Void. This individual, too, abandoned his fight and moved to another’s side, apparently to say something.
The other person was clearly also one of the Nine Elixirs. After their exchange, this individual charged directly towards the fierce battle involving the Pioneer and the Underworld Venerate. In a battlefield of millions, the movement of a single individual could virtually go unnoticed, so he reached the rear of the Pioneer with relative ease. Sun Wukong couldn’t guess the significance of this person’s action, but thankfully, he didn’t have to remain puzzled for long—the individual suddenly exploded without warning.
What puzzled Sun Wukong was that the person’s self-destruction didn’t seem to be intended to harm many people, as they had chosen a relatively empty space to detonate themselves. However, as the person self-destructed, the Pioneer’s towering ten-thousand-meter tall body suddenly shook and then froze. At that moment, the scene rapidly shifted to the Pioneer’s face, and Sun Wukong could see the Pioneer spewing out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
Most of that blood ignited and burned up the moment it was expelled, but some droplets fell onto nearby planets. As the Pioneer suddenly vomited blood, the Underworld Venerate, who had already been gaining the upper hand, bit down fiercely on the Pioneer’s neck. This shocked Sun Wukong once again; he could not make sense of what was happening. Why would the person who was part of the Elixir suddenly self-destruct? And why would the Pioneer be injured all of a sudden?
As the Underworld Venerate bit into the Pioneer’s neck, Sun Wukong saw in the Void behind the Pioneer, a figure suddenly appeared. Under normal circumstances, Sun Wukong wouldn’t have noticed him, for he was utterly shocked by the scene before his eyes. However, it seemed as if the angle switched deliberately to highlight this newcomer, and Sun Wukong realized that it was none other than Dao Zhun, the Master.
At this moment, Dao Zhun’s white Taoist Robe fluttered without any wind, and in his hand, he wielded what appeared to be an almost illusory long sword, looking supremely majestic. Upon appearing, without a moment’s hesitation, Dao Zhun struck at the entwined Pioneer and Underworld Venerate with nine consecutive swords, the strikes unleashed with incredible speed, almost in the blink of an eye. The nine slashes became nine beams of light that streaked directly forward.
Sun Wukong couldn’t help but cry out in alarm, then covered his mouth, because Dao Zhun’s attack seemed to be aimed at killing both the Pioneer and the Underworld Venerate together. But in the next instant, Sun Wukong let out a sigh of relief, as the Pioneer suddenly let out an angry roar, breaking free from the Underworld Venerate’s grasp. And in the process of breaking free, countless law chains exploded out of his body, imprisoning the Underworld Venerate instead. Immediately after, the nine sword beams landed directly on the Underworld Venerate, whose tens of thousands of meters tall body was dismembered by the slashes.
Disbelief and unwillingness filled the eyes of the Underworld Venerate, but with his body slashed apart, he lost his combat power. The Pioneer then took out nine Heavenly Steles in the Void and used them to seal the pieces of the Underworld Venerate’s body, now split into nine parts. The great war that involved the entire universe ended in such a dramatic way. After sealing the Underworld Venerate, the Pioneer seemed extremely fatigued. Moreover, the wound on his neck from the Underworld Venerate’s bite began to show signs of poisoning.
The Underworld Venerate, gasping heavily, looked deeply at Dao Zhun and the remaining eight individuals before collapsing. The Pioneer, too, died. The Pioneer’s death was very abrupt, as it seemed he had not suffered any fatal blows, yet he died right after sealing the Underworld Venerate. His colossal body fell, crushing countless people underneath. At this point, the scene moved on quickly, much like before. Sun Wukong saw that after the deaths of the Underworld Venerate and the Pioneer, the battle didn’t stop; if anything, it became even more frenzied. However, the remaining eight from the group of nine Elixirs quietly made their escape. And the Divine Sword in Dao Zhun’s hand also shattered into countless fragments.
When all the scenes came to a stop once again, Sun Wukong finally exhaled, but his heart was filled with shock.
This massive battle had continued for a quite long duration after the deaths of the Underworld Venerate and the Pioneer, only ending when almost all of the Underworld Venerate’s forces were annihilated.
Engraved in Sun Wukong’s mind were those nine swords slashed out by Master Zun!
