Chapter 705: Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven of Huaguo Mountain, Water Curtain Cave of Xuanhuan Star

Lin Qian stood tall in midair, raising his hand to summon the Mountains and Rivers Imperial Seal.

The Emperor’s authority condenses the Nine Dragon Seal, which derives its power from his subordinates.

The Sovereign’s authority condenses the Mountains and Rivers Seal, which bestows power upon his subordinates.

At this moment, Lin Qian was using his sovereign authority to enhance the power of the first commander standing before him.

"He is the first commander of Huaxia Empire’s Beast Army, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven of Xuanhuan Star’s Huaguo Mountain and Water Curtain Cave—Sun! Wu! Kong!" Lin Qian announced proudly, his voice brimming with confidence as he gazed at Black Demon. With a cold sneer, he added, "With him in battle, you’re doomed."

Black Demon glanced at the figure in front of him and sneered with contempt, "Lin Qian, do you think you can defeat me with a random wild monkey you’ve found?"

"Even though this is just an external manifestation of myself, I’ll let you in on a secret. My true form is a..." Before Black Demon could finish his boast, a golden blur flashed before him.

The attack was so swift that even though he tried to dodge, his body couldn’t react fast enough. The golden staff struck him squarely, sending him flying backward.

Boom!

The earth-shaking impact reverberated in the air as Black Demon was violently flung away by the strike.

"How dare you call me a wild monkey!" Sun Wukong snarled, baring his teeth in anger. "What does an immortal count for? Even an immortal must call me Grandfather when they see me!"

Lin Qian stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Sun Wukong. As he watched the scene unfold, a wave of excitement and joy surged in his heart.

It was the real Sun Wukong, fighting by his side! Every Huaxian in his past life would have dreamed of this moment.

With Brother Monkey by his side, what was there to fear?

Meanwhile, black smoke swirled once again in the air ahead. Black Demon, who had been knocked away, reappeared before them.

At this moment, Black Demon no longer looked composed. His black robe was torn, revealing the figure underneath.

The being beneath the robe was clearly not human but rather a dark-purple-skinned creature, resembling the Blackblood Race, with a single obsidian horn jutting from its forehead.

"Tsk tsk, where did the Emperor find such an ugly freak?" Sun Wukong scoffed, shaking his head in disgust. "I take back what I said earlier—there’s no way I want a grandson who looks like that."

Lin Qian couldn’t help but laugh. "Indeed, letting him be your grandson would be a disgrace. Better not."

Black Demon’s face twisted in fury as he glared at Lin Qian and Sun Wukong, his teeth gnashing together. Never had he been humiliated like this!

"Today, I’ll kill you both!" Black Demon roared, his voice filled with malice. He took a deep breath, and the deathly energy that had been expelled from the Soul Martial Continent surged back into his body.

This deathly energy, which had been forced out of the world when Lin Qian gained control of the continent, now disregarded its barriers as it was drawn into Black Demon’s form.

As the energy fused into him, Black Demon’s already formidable power grew even stronger.

At this point, Ye Xin had risen into the air, watching the scene unfold with growing concern. Yuan Zhizun, Yun Rong, and Zhang Juncheng had also gathered, all staring in astonishment at both Black Demon and Sun Wukong.

The figure standing beside Lin Qian, clad in golden armor with a radiant crown and wielding a golden staff, exuded an oppressive aura. The sheer pressure radiating from him forced them to circulate their soul force just to withstand his unintentional release of power.

"Xiao Qian, isn’t now the perfect time to stop him?" Ye Xin asked, clearly worried as she gazed at Black Demon, who was still absorbing the deathly energy.

The others beside her shared the same thought.

Black Demon was currently vulnerable, seemingly defenseless as he absorbed the energy.

Though the deathly energy was indeed potent, with the strength of this first commander, it seemed possible to break through his defenses.

"It’s unnecessary. Let him increase his power," Lin Qian replied with a mocking smile as he observed Black Demon. "No matter how much power he gains, he can’t defeat Sun Wukong."

"Xiao Qian, is this first commander really that strong?"

"His body is as tough as celestial iron, immortal and unaging. He has seventy-two transformations, Fiery Eyes, and a Ruyi Jingu Bang that can shake the heavens and terrify ghosts and gods with a single move," Lin Qian explained with a grin. "Even if he’s not at his peak, there’s no way this ghoul can stand against him."

Boom!

At that moment, Black Demon’s aura peaked.

The deathly energy had fully integrated into his body, and his blood-red eyes locked onto Sun Wukong as he frowned. "You clearly have the power to stop me from absorbing all the energy. Why didn’t you act?"

"Heh, your question’s amusing," Sun Wukong chuckled, waving his hand dismissively. "Would you deny a baby his bottle before a fight?"

Pfft...

Sun Wukong’s quip made the others burst into laughter. To him, Black Demon was just a child, and absorbing the deathly energy was akin to taking a drink of milk.

"You’re too arrogant! Your overconfidence will lead you to ruin!" Black Demon shouted, his voice booming as black soul force coalesced into a thin, long war blade in his hand. Its inky blackness seemed to tear the very fabric of space with a mere swing.

The sight left everyone shocked. A weapon forged of soul force that could slice through space—how terrifying was his strength?

"Hahaha! Fear me, mortals!" Black Demon reveled in their fear, his power swelling to its peak as he slashed toward Sun Wukong.

The heavens darkened, and the very air seemed to freeze. Space itself warped under the pressure of the dark blade as it hurtled toward Sun Wukong.

The attack was so overwhelming that everyone nearby felt as if their bodies were about to be ripped apart.

Everyone except Lin Qian, who remained calm and even showed a hint of sympathy for Black Demon.

At that moment, Sun Wukong finally moved. His body shimmered with golden light, and a blend of Huaxia attribute soul force and fiery soul force surged forth, blazing brightly.

Raising the Ruyi Jingu Bang high, Sun Wukong swung it down like a flaming dragon, tearing through the air.

The frozen space shattered, and the fiery staff hurtled straight for Black Demon’s head.

"Heh heh heh, take this from your Grandpa Sun!"
