Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 141 You’re too weak, it’s not satisfying to fight you!
Ning Yang!
It was Ning Yang who had planted the shackles within the Demon Ape’s body! Previously, outside Qianling City, Ning Xuan had sensed a familiar aura from the Demon Ape. This time, after the Demon Ape completely broke free from its shackles, he was one hundred percent certain.
An Element Beast comparable to an Emperor Realm Martial Artist had actually been shackled. This was something only the main body could accomplish!
"Who are you to him?!" the Demon Ape roared, brimming with murderous intent. To think a mere human boy planted shackles inside my body... This is the greatest humiliation!
"An enemy," Ning Xuan replied.
The Demon Ape was stunned for a moment before scoffing coldly. "Don’t try to deceive me! I sense an aura on you similar to his! Plus, you used your Bloodline Power earlier! You have a special constitution; you possess one of the twelve Sacred Bodies!"
Ning Xuan immediately asked, "And him? What kind of constitution does he have?"
"He also has a Sacred Body, but he’s advancing toward the six Immortal Bodies! I always thought Immortal Bodies were innate, but his existence shattered my perception! It turns out Immortal Bodies can be created through one’s own power!" the Demon Ape said, its eyes filled with a persistent shock and wariness.
"The Thirty-six Innate Bodies, the Twenty-Four Divine Demon Physiques, the twelve Sacred Bodies, the six Immortal Bodies... This place is far more interesting than the Lower Realm," Ning Xuan muttered, excitement flashing in his eyes.
"You’re thinking too much! The Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace at most has Innate Bodies and Divine Demon Physiques; the other constitutions can only be found in the Heavens Beyond. His main body went to the Heavens Beyond, but he left a Dao Body here!" the Demon Ape said grumpily. The two guys who planted shackles in me and then removed them both came from the Lower Realm! Damn it, this is just ridiculous!
Ning Xuan pressed on, "Where can I find his Dao Body?!"
He was now at the Eleventh Layer Heavens of the Human Realm, only one step away from its pinnacle. The Dao Body Ning Yang left here had to be a Human Realm Dao Body! And its constitution is surely something special. I want to see what’s so different about Ning Yang in the Human Realm!
The Demon Ape shook its head. "In that direction, but I don’t know the exact location." After sensing for a moment, it pointed in a certain direction.
"Thank you!" Ning Xuan said, rising to his feet to leave. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll attack Qianling City after you’re gone?" the Demon Ape’s voice floated leisurely from behind him.
Ning Xuan didn’t stop walking. "You won’t. Comparatively speaking, Ning Yang is a much greater prize for you."
"Smart! What he planted in my heart wasn’t just shackles, but a god! I’ll go with you. I want to shatter that god!" the Demon Ape declared, falling in step with Ning Xuan.
Its current Cultivation Realm was comparable to a human Emperor Realm Martial Artist, allowing it to crush most others. But against Ning Yang, it stood no chance of victory. This was something it absolutely could not allow. Shatter the god... starting with the Dao Body he left here!
"Kid, your strength isn’t bad. How about I suppress my Cultivation Realm to your Human Realm and we have a spar?" the Demon Ape suddenly suggested not long after they started.
"All right."
BOOM!
The response to Ning Xuan was a furious punch. Ning Xuan twisted and threw his own punch in a single, fluid motion. The two immediately clashed.
RUMBLE—
Both of their fist techniques were domineering and ferocious, as violent as thunder, pushing forward relentlessly. Along their path, countless ancient trees and massive boulders were destroyed. It was a true display of overwhelming power, causing a level of destruction that no ordinary Human Realm Warrior could achieve.
BANG!
Ning Xuan launched another punch, sending the Demon Ape flying. He didn’t pursue, instead lamenting, "Both of you are apes, but you’re not even fit to carry Old Sun’s shoes."
The Demon Ape crashed into an ancient tree and barely managed to stabilize itself. Suppressing the churning blood in its chest, it stuck out its neck and retorted, "Who is this Old Sun? Tell him to come out so we can have a go!"
Ning Xuan didn’t answer, asking instead, "By the way, do you have a name?"
The Demon Ape, its attention immediately diverted, nodded. "A name? Yes, everyone calls me Demon Ape!" As it spoke, it couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride. That name alone made humans fear it!
"You idiot. ’Demon Ape’ isn’t a name. It’s a comment on how ugly you are."
"What?!" After a moment of shock, the Demon Ape flew into a rage, its aura threatening to return to full power.
"I’ll give you a name. You had an ancestor who could somersault one hundred and eight thousand miles and once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court with an iron staff. He was truly formidable. His surname was Sun, so you should take his surname as well. Hmm... I’ve got it! From now on, you’ll be called Sun Zhu!"
The Demon Ape blinked and scratched its head. "Sun Zhu? Are you insulting me?!"
Ning Xuan immediately shook his head. "Absolutely not. The ’Sun’ is from Sun Wukong. ’Zhu’ represents the color red, like the flames of battle leaping in your eyes. It describes your might!"
"Sun Zhu is good! Sun Zhu is good! From now on, this lord will be called Sun Zhu! Kid, since you helped me remove my shackles and gave me a name, our grudge is settled!"
"Glad to hear it. So, do you still want to fight?"
"Of course I... PFFT!"
BANG!
The Demon Ape—no, Sun Zhu—was sent flying once again.
"You scoundrel! You have no martial honor!" Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Sun Zhu’s eyes blazed with fire. His cultivation instantly surged to the pinnacle of the Human Realm as he launched a punch at Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan’s eyes lit up. The two engaged in a fierce battle once more.
RUMBLE—
The booming sounds of their clash rolled across the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
「One day later.」
By a small stream, the meditating Sun Zhu opened his eyes, his expression complex. Last night, Ning Xuan had offered to improve his cultivation technique, an offer Sun Zhu had initially refused. Now, he realized the technique he had been practicing was complete crap. And I was hiding it away like some priceless treasure, afraid Ning Xuan would steal it. How damn embarrassing!
Sun Zhu asked Ning Xuan, "Why are you helping me?"
Ning Xuan answered honestly, "You’re too weak. Fighting you isn’t satisfying."
His words were a critical hit. Sun Zhu opened his mouth to retort, but immediately realized the man was speaking the truth.
"Again!" With a long howl, Sun Zhu shot to his feet and threw a punch. Amidst a terrifying sonic boom, the two clashed fiercely once again.
"Good! That’s more like it!" Ning Xuan exclaimed, taking a single step back, his eyes filled with excitement.
「A quarter-hour later.」
Sun Zhu was sprawled on the ground, a sense of despair washing over him. Why am I still no match for him?! And I was defeated so thoroughly! This kid is terrifying! I know he hasn’t even used all his techniques yet. Like his Bloodline Power! If he used his Holy Body Bloodline, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to take a single punch! Damn it! This guy is just too monstrous!
"What... what do you want to do?" Sun Zhu asked nervously, snapping back to reality and catching Ning Xuan’s thoughtful gaze.
Ning Xuan crossed his arms, one hand propping up his chin, and muttered, "Still not good enough. I’ll have to think of another way." He was going to great lengths just to find a suitable opponent.
Sun Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. "Go ahead." He realized Ning Xuan’s meddling was hugely beneficial to him. He had gone from initial refusal and resistance to absolute obedience. At the same time, a sliver of anticipation grew within him.
This time, Ning Xuan was particularly invested.
「Three days later.」
Sun Zhu rose from his meditative position. Rumbling sounds emanated from within his body, and a golden light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Ning Xuan, his expression one of pure excitement.
Just as he was about to express his thanks, several terrifying auras rushed over from the distance.
