Great Demon Sun Wukong

Zhen Yuanzi saw that the most powerful attacks of the three opponents were almost ready and refused to show weakness. The fusion of his hands sped up by another third. Three breaths later, Zhen Yuanzi’s hands suddenly radiated a treasure-light, and then two treasure trees completely combined into a small emerald tree flickering with twelve colors of brilliance.

Looking at the small tree with the flowing twelve-colored radiance, Zhen Yuanzi’s face showed a mix of pain and regret. But when he looked up at Sun Wukong and his two companions, he also revealed a sense of relief, as if a burden had been lifted.

"Wukong, my dear brother, we part today, and there may be no day of reunion in the future. If there is another life, I, Zhen Yuanzi, am still willing to be your brother!"

Not far away, Sun Wukong, who was dragging the World Suppressing Stele, heard Zhen Yuanzi’s words, which sounded like a final farewell, and suddenly felt an ominous sensation in his heart. However, it was too late to think about anything at this time because the most potent attacks from all four people had already been launched.

Zhen Yuanzi, holding the treasure tree radiating twelve colors of light, brushed across the void twice in succession. With just these two brushes, all of the spiritual power within Zhen Yuanzi’s body was instantaneously depleted. However, Zhen Yuanzi did not panic; instead, he looked at the two unstoppable twelve-colored rays flying towards Sun Wukong and his companions with a smile.

At the same time, Sun Wukong and his companions also unleashed their attacks. Ying Zhao, who had originally raised his forehooves and lifted his head, now slammed his hooves down fiercely while firing a destructive beam of light from his mouth. After releasing the beam, Ying Zhao looked visibly weakened, indicating that he had put everything on the line for this attack.

Ji Meng let out a piercing scream, and beneath him, the countless heads of Ji Meng suddenly roared in unison. Then, unbelievably, they actually started a collective charge. Ji Meng’s move resembled an ancient cavalry charge—a grand assault by thousands! However, when the charge reached one-third of the distance, the numbers rapidly dwindled. By the halfway mark, from the multitude, only one remained.

But the aura that this one person emitted was even more terrifying than that of the real Ji Meng.

Seeing that the attacks from the other two had been released, Sun Wukong quickly focused his mind, gathered strength in his arms, and then firmly threw the World Suppressing Stele towards Zhen Yuanzi. In truth, Sun Wukong didn’t know if what he was doing would have any effect.

He had no idea how to wield the World Suppressing Stele; he simply followed a subconscious thought to throw the stele at his enemy.

When Sun Wukong threw the stele, he also saw the two twelve-colored rays from Zhen Yuanzi. However, when he saw there were only two rays, he suddenly understood.

"Ying Zhao, Ji Meng, retreat, retreat quickly!" He yelled frantically as he kicked off with his legs, following the World Suppressing Stele towards Zhen Yuanzi. At the same time, his entire mind and spirit were attached to the stele with one purpose—to stop the stele from smashing down. But it was all in vain.

The hurled World Suppressing Stele seemed to be drawn towards Zhen Yuanzi by an irresistible force. No matter how Sun Wukong commanded it with his Divine Sense, it was to no avail.

Before long, the two rays of brilliance from Zhen Yuanzi had already flown past both sides of Sun Wukong’s body and then directly collided with the attacks from Ji Meng and Ying Zhao. The next moment, both Ji Meng and Ying Zhao displayed faces of disbelief. Their most powerful attacks, unleashed with all their strength, had barely managed to deplete around half of the brilliance of the two rays.

After erasing their attacks, the remaining half was heading straight towards them both.

The two of them quickly realized the danger, but it was already too late. They barely had time to turn around before the twelve-colored brilliance hit them. In an instant, their flesh was torn, and their viscera and bones were almost completely shredded. What’s more terrifying was that the brilliance not only caused severe damage to their bodies but could directly harm the soul as well.

So when the two beams of light completely entered their bodies, Ying Zhao and Ji Meng were both on their last breath, teetering on the edge of death.

On the other side, Sun Wukong had caught up with the World Suppressing Stele, but was unable to stop it no matter what, nor could he even make it veer off course slightly. When he thought about flying in front of the stele to block it, it was already too late.

Behind the World Suppressing Stele, Sun Wukong only heard Zhen Yuanzi’s last words, and then the stele smashed heavily onto Zhen Yuanzi. In an instant, Zhen Yuanzi was obliterated, leaving only one small tree quietly suspended in the air.

Zhen Yuanzi’s final words were, "Wukong, dear brother, I have left behind five ginseng fruits for you at the Five Villas View. They are the last ginseng fruits in this world. When you find Sanzang, eat them all together. I am going ahead, and I leave this treasure tree to you!"

Then there was a bang, and the World Suppressing Stele smashed Zhen Yuanzi into nothingness.

The master of the Five Villas View, the progenitor of Earth Immortals, the great immortal Zhen Yuanzi, who was at the Half-step Great Path, perished.

For a moment, Sun Wukong didn’t know what he was feeling. When he saw the attack launched by Zhen Yuanzi, Sun Wukong already knew Zhen Yuanzi’s intention.

He had given everything to attack Ying Zhao and Ji Meng, aiming to take them out instantly, but he didn’t attack Sun Wukong at all and withdrew all his defenses, intentionally allowing himself to be crushed to death by Sun Wukong’s World Suppressing Stele.

Since the moment he saw Sun Wukong appear, Zhen Yuanzi had harbored thoughts of death. Such an outcome was probably the most fitting for Zhen Yuanzi. On one side was his sworn brother with whom he had even launched a counter-attack against Heaven and severely injured the Supreme Elder Lord. On the other side was his mentor and the lineage of the Taoist Sect.

No matter the outcome, Zhen Yuanzi’s heart was certainly filled with immense sadness and agony.

That’s why when he saw Sun Wukong, he had such thoughts, which also explained why he didn’t deal a killing blow at the beginning, instead choosing to stand in a stalemate with Ji Meng and Ying Zhao.

Injuring Ji Meng and Ying Zhao could be said to uphold the name of his Taoist heritage. In the end, dying by Sun Wukong’s hand and even bequeathing that superb treasure, which was a fusion of two treasured trees, was to honor the brotherhood that existed between them.

Zhen Yuanzi, you thought of everyone, yet you were the only one you didn’t consider. I would rather it be me who died than for you to die like this.

Staring blankly at the twelve-colored radiant treasure tree floating in the void, Sun Wukong stepped forward. He reached out and touched the base of the sapling, then placed the small tree before himself. As he observed the tree’s light radiating in waves, Sun Wukong suddenly felt engulfed by a massive wave of sorrow and weariness. Enough of such slaughter.

Gently caressing the treasure tree, Sun Wukong even felt the sorrow emanating from it. "From now on, you will be called the Zhen Yuan Bodhi Treasure Tree!"

Treasuring it dearly, he collected the Zhen Yuan Bodhi Treasure Tree into the World Within the Jingu Bang. He then turned his attention to the World Suppressing Stele, also floating in mid-air. Now, Sun Wukong didn’t know how to face the stele. Because just now, he had felt as if the Heavenly Stele had some will of its own, as if it was acting on its own volition in the attack.

If the Heavenly Stele truly had its own will, that would be a terrifying matter. But when Sun Wukong scouted with his Divine Sense, he found the stele perfectly normal, no different from controlling the Jingu Bang. This really puzzled Sun Wukong.

However, in the end, Sun Wukong still took the World Suppressing Stele into the Jingu Bang. No matter what, the stele was tied to too much. Even if he didn’t use it, it couldn’t be allowed to fall into others’ hands. The might of that one strike, Sun Wukong had seen it; it was an unbelievable force.

To obliterate a Half-step Great Path power in one blow, even if he had abandoned his defenses, it was by no means ordinary.

Even if Sun Wukong attacked with all his might wielding the Jingu Bang, at most he would destroy the physical body of a Half-step Great Path behemoth, yet he could not annihilate even the soul.

"Oh no, that’s not good."

Suddenly snapping out from his daze, Sun Wukong thought of something and quickly retreated. He moved to Ying Zhao’s side, who was truly in a state as tenuous as a thread. His physical body was almost completely destroyed, and even his soul had sustained great damage.

In the future, even if his body recovered, without some Heaven and Earth Treasures, it was doubtful that Ying Zhao could ever fully heal.

He took Ying Zhao into the Jingu Bang, then turned to Ji Meng. Similar to Ying Zhao, his body was destroyed, and his soul was heavily damaged. He also took Ji Meng into the Jingu Bang, and Sun Wukong couldn’t help but marvel at the terrifying power of the Zhen Yuan Bodhi Treasure Tree, certainly at the level of a Supreme Divine Artifact in combat.

It was probably because it had just been born and likely hadn’t had time to form a World Within the Artifact.

Experience tales at empire

Only a Divine Artifact that had formed a World Within could be considered a Supreme Divine Artifact. At this moment, Sun Wukong also realized why the World Suppressing Stele was able to obliterate a Half-step Great Path being in one strike. It must have been Zhen Yuanzi using the power of his soul to merge the two divine trees.

Otherwise, how could two such different types of treasured trees have merged so easily?

After securing the two, Sun Wukong glanced around, then soared into the air. He still needed to go support the others!

(An extra note about the game rules: For every increment of 500 recommendations, such as 500, 1000, 1500, etc., an extra chapter will be released. Also, for every rank that Sanzang climbs in League of Legends, three additional chapters will be released. Currently, he is at Bronze II, haha. If you want extra chapters, put in the effort!
