Great Demon Sun Wukong

But no matter what, one of the Six Great Divine Nations, the Netherworld Realm, has indeed seen the emergence of such a weakling on the Half-step Great Path. Setting aside what would happen if the ruler of the Netherworld Realm were to discover him, just his feebleness alone would make it impossible for him to survive in the Netherworld Realm.

Putting it bluntly, the Netherworld Realm is the world of souls. In the entire universe, whether from high-level or intermediate levels, or even the other five great divine nations, as long as one is above Dao Patterns in strength, after death their souls will reach the Netherworld Realm through a special method.

Then, the strong souls will devour the weak souls, and when a soul feels it has become strong enough, it may apply for the qualification of becoming a native resident of the Netherworld Realm. Of course, you can also choose reincarnation, but your memory will be wiped clean.

However, beyond that, you have another choice, which is resurrection. If you think you are strong enough, you can apply for resurrection. Then the ruling class will present you with a series of challenges, and if you survive them, you can go to the Resurrection Pavilion, and it will give you a body of your designation.

But this method is extremely difficult. Apart from those prodigies or unparalleled geniuses, no one chooses this path. If you succeed with this method, you will be resurrected, but if you fail, your soul will be utterly extinguished. Therefore, only a very few people, due to a particularly powerful obsession, would choose this method.

So most souls, after devouring enough other souls, choose to become original residents of the Netherworld. And even some exceptionally talented individuals, with their formidable gifts and strength, become part of the ruling class of the Netherworld.

And all of this, for Sun Wukong who has just arrived in the Netherworld, is still a secret. To be precise, Sun Wukong knows nothing about the Netherworld Realm.

Therefore, when Sun Wukong woke up, he just sat there in a daze for an entire day! In the world of souls, people can still feel hunger, but this hunger is, to be accurate, for the devouring of other souls. So it wasn’t until Sun Wukong felt hungry that he came back to his senses.

Although he was still in a state of extreme confusion, the instinct of living creatures directed Sun Wukong to search for food. It must be mentioned that the people in the Netherworld, although in a state of souls, according to the rules of this world, appeared exactly the same as they did in life. Moreover, to the naked eye, there seems to be almost no difference.

But the strong can detect the differences with a sweep of their Divine Sense.

With empty eyes, Sun Wukong walked slowly forward. At this time, his mind was still blank, likely because his inadequate strength had forcefully brought him to the Netherworld, causing damage to the Primordial of Divine Consciousness. If not for a mysterious force protecting him, Sun Wukong would, fearfully, have become an idiot from the spatial traversal.

However, the current situation isn’t much better, it’s just that he had more than just the basic instinct of a fool.

Soon, Sun Wukong, who resembled a zombie, encountered a humanoid soul, only this soul had the appearance and body size of a human but with one difference: it had three eyes on its forehead. If Sun Wukong were conscious, he would have been shocked. A third eye on the forehead, Sun Wukong knew no one other than the Erlang God with such a feature, could this person be a relative of the Erlang God?

But unfortunately, at this moment Sun Wukong didn’t even know who he was, so he was even less likely to care whether the person had three eyes or six. Upon seeing this tri-eyed individual, Sun Wukong suddenly let out a roar like a wild beast. His vacant eyes were instantly replaced by a blood-red hue.

Although the tri-eyed person saw Sun Wukong adopt an attacking stance, he didn’t mind. He had been in this place for a long time and had devoured numerous souls, now being a One Pattern powerhouse. When he first saw Sun Wukong, he used Divine Consciousness Scouting and discovered that Sun Wukong did not even possess Dao Patterns.

Such a soul hardly aroused any interest in devouring from the tri-eyed person.

Facing Sun Wukong’s ferocious charge, the tri-eyed person didn’t even bother to counterattack but simply waved his hand, and a powerful Soul Storm swept towards Sun Wukong. "Powerful" in the sense relative to Sun Wukong. To the tri-eyed person, it was as effortless as swatting a fly in front of us.

As the Soul Storm was about to hit Sun Wukong, his eyes still crimson, he continued to pounce toward the tri-eyed person, completely ignoring the oncoming storm.

A sneer played at the corner of the tri-eyed person’s mouth. But that sneer hadn’t faded before it was eternally frozen on his face. Just as the Soul Storm was about to engulf Sun Wukong, a flash of five-colored brilliance suddenly appeared around him, and then the storm abruptly dissipated.

Then, under the incredulous gaze of the three-eyed person, a stele phantom suddenly appeared out of nowhere and, in the next moment, smashed directly onto the top of the three-eyed person’s head.

At that time, Sun Wukong also happened to pounce on the three-eyed person. Without any hesitation, Sun Wukong suddenly bowed down and began to tear at the three-eyed person’s soul body with his mouth. With bite after voracious bite, Sun Wukong’s soul aura grew increasingly domineering.

After Sun Wukong completely devoured the three-eyed person, his soul aura had surged to the pinnacle of the Saint of the Great Dao. He was just an opportunity away from beginning his next breakthrough.

However, if it were someone else, consuming the soul of a Half-step Great Path being might not necessarily reach One Pattern, but achieving Dao Transformation would definitely not be a problem. Yet, now Sun Wukong, this freak, had only advanced by one grade, and it was uncertain whether this was fortunate or unfortunate.

In the Netherworld Realm, there are no limits to cultivation levels. As long as you have the ability to devour enough souls, in principle, you can level up indefinitely. One could even rise to the rank of Nine Patterns Supreme, becoming a top-level powerhouse of the Netherworld. That’s also why many souls choose to stay here.

After the devouring was finished, Sun Wukong lay down on the ground and astonishingly fell into a deep sleep right there. Only Sun Wukong could do such a thing; anyone with a bit of common sense or consciousness wouldn’t act like this. They would look for a relatively safe place to rest, unlike Sun Wukong, who would sleep wherever he collapsed.

Fortunately, though, Sun Wukong had been sleeping there for half a day and not a single soul had passed by. Otherwise, he might have been eaten while still in his dreams.

After a long sleep, Sun Wukong woke up. Upon awakening, he suddenly became stunned. However, after a moment, he began to roll on the ground, holding his head.

It turned out that after devouring the soul of a One Pattern strong being, Sun Wukong’s damaged Primordial of Divine Consciousness had been slightly repaired. But it was only a very slight repair, enough for Sun Wukong to barely remember that he was called Sun Wukong. Anything else would cause his head to throb with unbearable pain the moment he tried to recall.

He rolled on the ground for a long time until the pain made him pass out. However, Sun Wukong soon came to. But this time, upon coming to, Sun Wukong began to incessantly mutter, "I am Sun Wukong, I am Sun Wukong, I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong."

He seemed like a madman!

In this state, Sun Wukong’s primal beast instincts were maximally stimulated. Furthermore, the urge to kill and devour within his heart grew even stronger. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With a roar to the heavens, Sun Wukong began to run on all fours towards the distance. He had sensed the aroma of souls, of souls far more powerful than his own. He needed to devour, to devour more souls.

The Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, was killed by Chang’er, but his soul did not dissipate. Instead, it came to the Huangquan World of the Six Great Divine Nations. Due to the damage to the Primordial of Divine Consciousness caused by forcibly traversing through space, the current Sun Wukong had become a ferocious beast that knew only battles and devouring.

In the already brutally violent Netherworld Realm, he began his endless battles!
