"Wh-White Lotus is dead?!"

Sage Sovereign Tian Wu, Sage Sovereign Purple Sun, Sage Sovereign Xu Feng, and Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan's faces changed drastically.

Each Sage Sovereign stood at the peak of the God Clan.

And yet, one of them was killed instantly by a single move?!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed such an absurd thing!

"Everyone, attack together and kill him!"

After the initial shock, Sage Sovereign Tian Wu bellowed and was the first to launch an attack.

Despite being terrified by the formidable strength of King Wukong the King of Demons, they still had four Sage Sovereigns.

It was impossible for them to flee without fighting.

"True Martial Thunderbolt!"

Sage Sovereign Tian Wu's Divine Power erupted. Its terrifying might surged relentlessly, causing a chain of explosions in mid-air that pulverized any solid matter, grinding it finer and finer until it became nothing but dust.

"Divine Skill: Vacuum!"

In a flash, Sage Sovereign Xu Feng sucked away all the surrounding air, creating a vacuum zone.

Once stepping into this realm, even the air within an opponent's body would be drawn out. Life cannot lack the nourishment of air. Most living beings would die quickly in a vacuum, let alone fight!

"Great Qian World!"

With his hands clasped together, Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan cast his illusion. In a single thought, he could create a "universe," trapping enemies in an unending cycle within a mental world, from which they could not escape.

Sage Sovereign Purple Sun roared, "Vajra World Divine Power, Vajra Body!"

The four God Clan Sage Sovereigns unleashed their respective Divine Skills. Surging Divine Power swept across the world as a myriad of abilities rained down upon King Wukong the King of Demons.

"So strong!"

"Absolutely terrifying!"

Emperor Yi's body trembled; every cell instinctively recoiled in fear.

His strength was considered decent among the Human Race, but facing such an onslaught, he couldn't even withstand the aftershocks, let alone fight!

"Great Marshal, should we make a move?" Unparalleled Iron Blood was brimming with fighting spirit. Even though the God Clan's Sage Sovereigns were strong, they weren't invincible. Even if outmatched, they could still put up a fight!

"Everyone, be ready!" Defying Heavens gripped Eternal Night tightly, feeling the blade in his hand tremble, thirsting for blood. "If Messenger Sun is in danger, we must intervene immediately. We must save him, no matter the cost!"

However, King Wukong the King of Demons didn't ask for their help, as he seemed capable of handling the situation himself. Thus, Defying Heavens knew it wasn't proper to intervene rashly.

"Ganging up on me because I'm outnumbered, are you?"

King Wukong the King of Demons grinned and, in an instant, split into four identical figures. Each wielded a Golden Cudgel, raising it to smash down!

"Eat my cudgel!"

Four identical monkeys moved in perfect unison, with no fancy tricks—just a simple, straightforward smash of their cudgels.

Sage Sovereign Tian Wu's True Martial Thunderbolt struck one of them, but not a single monkey hair was damaged.

Sage Sovereign Tian Wu was smashed to death by a single blow.

Sage Sovereign Xu Feng's vacuum... Heh! It had no effect whatsoever on King Wukong the King of Demons.

He was sent flying by a cudgel strike, collapsing to the ground severely wounded.

Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan's illusion, the Great Qian World, was also shattered, and he too was sent flying by a cudgel.

Sage Sovereign Purple Sun's Vajra Body was directly blown apart!

"How is this possible?"

"How could he be so strong?"

God's Eye Great Elder observed the battle through the Divine power in the realm of emptiness, his eyes wide with shock.

Even he couldn't have defeated the four Sage Sovereigns so effortlessly had they teamed up against him.

In fact, he might not even have been a match for the four Sage Sovereigns combined.

"God's Eye, prepare your neck for Old Sun to clean!"

King Wukong the King of Demons jabbed his Golden Cudgel upward, shattering God's Eye's Divine power in the realm of emptiness.

"PFFT!"

God's Eye spat out a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with horror. Such terrifying strength! A casual strike across space injured me. It seems we must call upon the Heavenly Emperor!

...

「Chaoge City.」

"Why didn't you kill us?"

Sage Sovereign Xu Feng and Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan climbed out of the large crater, looking at King Wukong the King of Demons with confusion.

Although they were stronger than the other Sage Sovereigns, King Wukong the King of Demons could have easily killed them just now as well.

"I simply took a liking to you two and decided to give you a chance, that's all!"

King Wukong the King of Demons put away his Golden Cudgel and resumed his human form, speaking indifferently.

"You want us to serve you and then counterattack the God Clan?"

Sage Sovereign Xu Feng seemed to understand the intention of King Wukong the King of Demons.

Sage Sovereign Tian Wu was a staunch supporter of the God Clan, which was why he was killed with a single blow.

White Lotus Divine King and Sage Sovereign Purple Sun both had unsavory reputations, so their deaths were understandable.

But he and Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan were different. They had their own thoughts and didn't blindly support the God Clan's current rule.

"Why would I need you to counterattack the God Clan? This King can flatten the God Clan with a single strike of my cudgel!"

King Wukong the King of Demons had a reminiscent look in his eyes, as if he had returned to the time when he wreaked havoc in the Heaven Palace and swept through the Heavenly Court.

The mere thought of being suppressed by Tathagata's single palm... The past was too painful to recall. But he was the one who had laughed last. It was all because he had met the great God of Hongmeng.

"The chance I'm giving you is to believe in the great God of Hongmeng!"

At the mention of the God of Hongmeng, even the arrogant, cruel, and cunning King Wukong the King of Demons showed a rare trace of piety and awe, along with fervent adoration.

Seeing this, Sage Sovereign Xu Feng and Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan felt their hearts stir.

"Who is this God of Hongmeng? This humble monk considers himself somewhat knowledgeable, so why have I never heard of this name?" Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan inquired.

He had already witnessed the power of King Wukong the King of Demons. It was absolutely comparable to that of Tian, the Lord of the God Clan, perhaps even stronger than the Heavenly Emperor.

Yet, even such a powerhouse was filled with reverence, piety, worship, and fervor for the God of Hongmeng.

How terrifying must the God of Hongmeng be? Such a fearsome existence... We shouldn't be unaware of Him.

"You haven't heard of Him because your level isn't high enough!"

An arrogant voice rang out. Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan and Sage Sovereign Xu Feng looked over to see Ten Punishments approaching through the air.

"Hmm? Has your Mark of the Dead been removed?" Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan noted the change in Ten Punishments with some surprise. He knew how terrifying the Mark of the Dead was and hadn't expected Ten Punishments to be free of it.

"Do you know of the God of Hongmeng?" Sage Sovereign Xu Feng asked.

"I didn't know of the God of Hongmeng before, but I do now. It was thanks to the grace of the God of Hongmeng that my Mark of the Dead was removed!"

Ten Punishments' words made Sage Sovereign Xu Feng and Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan even more curious.

Could it be that the God of Hongmeng came here just moments ago?

"Recite this, and you will understand how great the God of Hongmeng is!"

King Wukong the King of Demons passed the "Meditation Method" to Sage Sovereign Xu Feng and Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan.

The two were quite powerful, and King Wukong the King of Demons actually wanted to recruit them.

"Thank you."

Sage Sovereign Xu Feng and Sage Sovereign Zhen Chan skimmed through the "Meditation Method." Although puzzled by the seemingly unremarkable scripture, they didn't question it. They began reciting it as instructed by King Wukong the King of Demons.

As for whether there was a trap? They weren't concerned at all. With the power of King Wukong the King of Demons, killing them would only take a single swing of his cudgel. There was no need for such elaborate schemes.

"Congratulations to Messenger Sun on your victorious start! Your divine might is unrivaled!"

Defying Heavens, Dancing with the Wind, Unparalleled Iron Blood, and others came forward to offer their congratulations.

Although King Wukong the King of Demons had previously displayed considerable strength, it was nowhere near as shocking as this instance of him slaughtering Sage Sovereigns as easily as butchering chickens.

Especially the Ming Clan Great Generals like Unparalleled Iron Blood and Terribly Vicious; their eyes were filled with awe and worship as they looked at King Wukong the King of Demons.

The strong are respected and worshipped, no matter where they are.

"Indeed, Messenger Sun is mighty, truly worthy of being my Divine Envoy!"

Business King Emperor Yi was exhilarated. King Wukong the King of Demons was so formidable! The Human Race could finally escape the God Clan's oppression and enslavement.

Behind him stood two young men, their faces flushed with excitement, their eyes shining with adoration.

"A true man should aspire to be like this!" The Great Swordsman Zi Yu felt his heart surge with emotion, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

If one day his sword could be as sharp as that of King Wukong the King of Demons, slaughtering Sage Sovereigns as if they were mere pigs and dogs, he would be satisfied!

In the sky, King Wukong the King of Demons greatly enjoyed this feeling of being the center of everyone's attention, of being revered and worshipped.

Suddenly, the Ming Clan powerhouses like Defying Heavens by his side grew solemn. "Who's there?" one of them called out, on guard.

Within the void, Divine power in the realm of emptiness fluctuated, and a graceful, slender silhouette emerged.

It was a woman—an exceedingly beautiful woman. Her beauty was such that a single glance would evoke the feeling: This is what a true Goddess must be like.

"No need to be alarmed," King Wukong the King of Demons grinned, sizing up the stunningly beautiful woman who had appeared so suddenly. "She's a fox, not a misfortune."
