"Has it, has it succeeded?"
The sun disappeared from the sky, and the Divine Power Creatures on the ground were somewhat in disbelief.
Sun Wukong, with the help of their Dao Fruits, defeated the Undying Emperor at an unbelievable speed, and many creatures didn't have time to react.
So fast, too fast!
After a long time, some creatures began to rejoice.
"They are truly dead!"
"We can go out now!"
"But if they're dead, why does this world still exist?"
A few Divine Power Creatures found it odd; the ground beneath their feet didn't disappear with the Undying Emperor.
Sun Wukong searched around, gripping the eight shackles in his hand, finding no signs that the Undying Emperor was still alive.
He shook his head.
"Thank you all."
He unfolded the Divine Ring, and those shimmering Dao Fruits flew out, each returning to their respective owners.
The battle had ended, and belongings were returned to their rightful owners.
However, at that moment, an overwhelmingly strong aura suddenly appeared high in the sky.
As soon as this aura appeared, Sun Wukong felt the hair on his body stand on end.
He turned around and saw a familiar Divine Furnace floating in the sky, emitting a blood-red glow.
"Nine!"
Sun Wukong's pupils shrank – the Divine Furnace was still here!
It was the Divine Furnace transformed by the Undying Empire's maiden, which had shattered while summoning the eight Undying Emperors, and yet it reappeared!
The reemergence of the Divine Furnace, and quickly the maiden bathed in bloodlight walked out.
Tears of blood in her eyes, her body radiating brilliance, behind her unfolded eight circles of light, her aura so powerful, she seemed like a completely different person.
"One and nine, from the beginning to the end."
She spoke, "Sun Wukong, you have killed them and re-created me."
Her words seemed nonchalant but were filled with hatred, the entire sky resonating with it.
Sun Wukong stared at her with narrowed pupils.
His heart began to sink.
"Who are you?"
A humanoid creature shouted loudly from the ground.
Nine did not respond but merely glanced at him.
"Exterminate!"
The moment her voice emerged, a blood-colored Light Sword suddenly sprang from the ground!
The speaker was not slow to react, trying to dodge, but the Light Sword was too swift, instantly piercing through his chest.
"Aaah!"
The humanoid creature screamed and fell.
The Divine Power Creatures on the ground were terrified.
Before any response could be mustered, more Light Swords burst from the ground like bamboo shoots after the rain.
In the blink of an eye, the ground erupted in screams, creating a bloody scene.
Bodies littered everywhere, creating a boundless Sea of Blood.
"Your opponent is me!"
Sun Wukong, swift as lightning, swung his staff in the sky, and a wave of fire engulfed the heavens, striking the lady.
However, she vanished in an instant, the fire wave ripping through space, hitting nothing.
Sun Wukong turned around and saw the woman already miles away.
She looked down upon the earth with cold eyes, as if proving her power, instantly killing all those who had fought with Sun Wukong, except for a few beings.
The Fire Phoenix and the giant lion had joy on their faces; at the moment of their death, their newly returned Dao Fruits were also pierced by the treasure sword and dissipated in the air.
Only Emperor Yao and a few others, having quickly taken to the skies, narrowly escaped the numerous Light Swords that sprouted from the earth.
Those survivors watched the landscape in terror, the Light Swords spreading like wild grass, countless blades standing erect, reaching for the heavens.
Nine withdrew her gaze, looking ahead at Sun Wukong whose eyes were ablaze with flames.
"I like your eyes."
Nine said, "They would make for a fine addition to my collection."
"So you're the true creator of this world."
Sun Wukong now understood that this Nine was the true master of the land.
Her power was immensely strong, having absorbed the Heavenly Dao of the Undying Emperor, turning it into eight circles of light.
It wasn't a mere collection—it was a return.
"How do you wish to die?"
Nine spoke to Sun Wukong.
Billions of Taos merged onto her rings, simple yet overwhelming, emitting a pure light.
The light was so bright, dazing and dazzling.
"Come and struggle!"
The woman, from her lofty position, issued the invitation.
Sun Wukong's flames scattered in the wind, as a hundred thousand incarnations materialized, holding the Jingu Bang, swarming towards the lady.
The woman stayed still, blood-light blooming in her eyes.
"Is this the best you can do?"
She stretched out her hand and gave a gentle pull.
All creatures were watching her move, but no one anticipated that the assault would begin from the ground.
As if the earth itself lashed out at the sky, the ground's Light Swords soared upwards, many Divine Power Creatures who thought they were safe in the air were impaled by unexpected swords, their corpses carried by the blades into the sky, like scenes from hell.
"What!"
Sun Wukong noticed the anomaly on the ground, quickly withdrew, and managed to rescue some creatures.
But the Light Swords didn't stop, seemingly wanting to link heaven and earth, trapping Sun Wukong and the other beings in a narrow gap.
To protect others, Sun Wukong was restrained, his incarnations one after another pierced by the Light Swords.
"Sun Wukong, your weakness is too obvious."
Nine looked down, changing her mind.
With a cold gaze at Sun Wukong, she said, "I will drain the entire Brahma Void Heavenly Court, making you suffer as I have."
The rings of light behind her expanded, and the ground roared – it was beginning to expand.
This was a power invincible in the world!
