Sun Wukong said leisurely, "Once your old Sun really kills you with a stick, the Queen Mother will not blame you."
As soon as his words fell, the Golden Monkey rose up with the weight of a thousand jun on his rod.
Boom!!
The heavens and the ocean were simultaneously torn apart.
In the East Sea, two walls of water thousands of meters deep appeared, and the sky was clear for thousands of miles.
However, Sun Wukong's expression looked awful as he withdrew the Jingu Bang, and the invincible Stabilizer had broken off a piece.
[Side Mission activated: Defeating the Myth!]
[Mission Content: Defeat or kill Sun Wukong]
[Note: How can one become the victor if they cannot surpass the myth?]
Li Changzhou was holding the Slaughter Blade.
By now, no strategy was useful, only a desperate fight.
"What kind of weapon is that?!" spotting the broken Jingu Bang, Sun Wukong was so enraged that his hair stood on end.
"I've mentioned before, I have some ability, wielding a powerful weapon."
Li Changzhou placed his index and middle fingers of his left hand together, stroked the blade, and chanted the Engraving:
"Slay whoever I encounter, execute whoever I see."
The radiance on the Engraving lit up as if eyes were opening one by one—the memories of those it had slain were being revived on this blade.
As long as it passed through enough masters, and slain enough, this blade could be invincible in close combat.
The blade gleamed with a pale gold, radiant as the sunlight.
Because the Jingu Bang was damaged, Sun Wukong was furious internally, yet did not advance immediately.
Golden light circulated, Golden Armor adhered to the body; double clouds formed underfoot, stepping into cloud boots, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven adjusted his Purple Gold Crown, drew the Jingu Bang, and his Eyes of Golden Flame emitted divine light.
The Qi vanished, the water walls closed, emitting a loud noise.
"Kill!"
Boom!
The two charged towards each other, the heavens and earth changed colors, the wind and clouds howled.
One was the Great Sage Equalling Heaven who had fought countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in the Heavenly Palace;
the other was the Supreme Immortal who battled through the historical river and fought against various geniuses at the Divine Will Great Wall.
Their close combat abilities had nearly reached the pinnacle, every move and style extremely powerful.
Li Changzhou was going after Sun Wukong!
The Great Sage Equalling Heaven intended to dodge this strike, aiming to kill the Supreme Immortal with one stick!
After an exchange, the two stepped back, both standing off at a distance, neither gaining the upper hand.
Suddenly, Sun Wukong let out a "hehe!" a chuckle filled with playfulness and excitement, along with the joy of finding someone who shared his ideals.
The degree of compression had surpassed the previous battle with Guanyin at the South Sea.
"Ah!"
Li Changzhou roared furiously, feeling the world suddenly quiet down and time slow down.
Sun Wukong adjusted his Purple Gold Crown, barely containing his excitement, "Now it's getting interesting."
The Li Changzhou before him stood six meters high, his body a whirlwind of flaring light, with overflowing Qi-Blood strength, burning mana, and the radiance of the Divine Body.
He resembled an ever-twisting abstract painting, like a terrifying Evil God.
This was an outbreak, a combustion of the formidable mana of the Supreme Immortal, exchanging it for short-term immense power; without infinite mana, he could not maintain this state for long.
But it wasn't enough!
Even with this, he wasn't ready to face Sun Wukong!
He howled into the sky, began burning his life force, and deployed the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique" 'Qi-Blood' form, unleashing his strongest combat power.
The originally second-hand-like moving Five Internal Organs Divine Wheel began to speed up.
Immensely powerful enough to grapple stars, the force like great rivers poured into his body for him to command and squander!
An immortal radiance fixed his twisting abstract form.
"Good!" Sun Wukong's entire body exploded with fur.
"Fight!" Li Changzhou yelled, the Five Internal Organs Divine Wheel booming explosively.
The two simultaneously threw punches, clashing together.
The wind in the heavens and earth roared like thunder, the clouds burst apart, and the ocean waves roared into the sky, the Qi wave shattering everything.
The Heavenly Palace shook, the East Sea was ripped apart, and Penglai nearly lifted off the ground like a wild grass.
