Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

```

A tremendously powerful attraction force suddenly burst forth from Sun Wukong's body, turning his physique akin to a massive black hole, violently tugging the nature's spiritual energy in the vicinity towards him, which included the water spiritual qi filled with the corrosive power of weak water and the sword spirit qi brimming with fierce killing intent.

These energies, inherently different in attributes and absolutely incompatible, especially when taken from someone else's domain, had never been recklessly absorbed into the body before, as a slight mishap could result in a body explosion and death. Yet, not only did Wukong suck them in, he did so unbridled and as if it was his due right.

Most crucially, it seemed as though he wasn't affected at all; all the water spiritual qi and sword spirit qi that entered his body disappeared without a trace, sinking into the depths without stirring the slightest ripple.

"What's happening?"

Ying Long, Ying Tian, who had been using his body to protect Wukong, was suddenly shocked. Wukong's voracious absorption of the surrounding spiritual energy first impacted him.

Ying Long, Ying Tian's False Domain of Weak Water was already at a slight disadvantage, and with Wukong's frenzied absorption of spiritual qi, it worsened, akin to adding frost to snow, equivalent to being attacked from both sides. He grunted in pain, and his False Domain of Weak Water trembled, starting to become unstable.

"What an opportunity!"

The sword spirit qi from Cultivation Heavenly Venerable's invasion into the False Domain of Weak Water was also drawn away by Wukong, but since Wukong was within Ying Long, Ying Tian's False Domain of Weak Water, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable failed to notice the anomaly, still assuming that Ying Long, Ying Tian was finally overpowered.

Delighted, he spurred the Sword of Annihilation even harder, pressing his Absolute Sword Domain more fiercely against the False Domain of Weak Water.

"What's with this brat?"

Ying Long, Ying Tian panicked. Wukong's breakthrough was too bizarre, capable of absorbing spiritual energy from within even a domain, and it was an aggressive, plundering style of absorption. Normally, this wouldn't matter much, but now, while within Ying Long, Ying Tian's domain, this frenzied absorption was essentially adding to Ying Long, Ying Tian's troubles!

Feeling the dual pressures from both Cultivation Heavenly Venerable's Absolute Sword Domain and Wukong, Ying Long, Ying Tian felt a surge of frustration boiling up, snorting coldly and promptly retracting his False Domain of Weak Water, withdrawing.

Now that Wukong could forcibly absorb spiritual energy within the domain, he should no longer fear the Absolute Sword Domain, letting Cultivation Heavenly Venerable taste its fierceness too!

"Finally realizing how formidable it is, huh? Hmph! At least you know what's good for you!" Continue your saga on empire

Seeing Ying Long, Ying Tian retract the False Domain of Weak Water and retreat, exposing Wukong, Cultivation Heavenly Venerable felt a flash of triumph in his heart. He drove his Absolute Sword Domain towards Wukong, enshrouding him within, as thousands of swords formed from Sword Qi, the Sword of Annihilation, stabbed towards his entire body.

"Demon Monkey, today is the day you die!"

A derisive laughter emanated from the Sword of Annihilation itself, as Cultivation Heavenly Venerable seemed to have already witnessed Wukong being slashed into dust by the thousands of Sword of Annihilation. However, in the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly, as if a duck's throat was being squeezed!

Wukong was actually absorbing the Sword Qi of the Absolute Sword Domain!

The thousands of Sword of Annihilation, originally condensed from Sword Qi, had taken solid form within the Absolute Sword Domain, and their lethality wasn't much less than the Sword of Annihilation itself.

Being bombarded by so many Swords of Annihilation, even a Quasi-Saint would be finished; Cultivation Heavenly Venerable never thought that someone could absorb Sword Qi within his Absolute Sword Domain!

As soon as the Swords of Annihilation approached within an inch of Wukong's body, before even touching the Sword of Annihilation, they seemed to hit an invisible barrier, rapidly disintegrating into threads of sword spirit qi, which Wukong aggressively dragged into his body.

At this moment, Wukong was completely a spiritual energy black hole; any and all spiritual energy, regardless of its attributes, was crazily plundered and devoured as soon as it got close, and even the highly destructive sword spirit qi was no exception.

Cultivation Heavenly Venerable felt utterly unable to control Wukong. Although Wukong was pulled into the Absolute Sword Domain, the domain's most significant suppressive effect was utterly ineffective against him!

"How is this possible? How can this be?"

Once a domain was deployed, even if not invincible, it was nearly unstoppable. Even if it were just the early form of a domain, it was absolutely not something that a person who had not yet mastered a domain could contend against. That was the decree of Heavenly Dao, yet at this moment, this decree was forcibly broken by Wukong!

The heart of Cultivation Heavenly Venerable was filled with astonishment; in the next moment, he spurred the Absolute Sword Domain even more frantically, bringing forth more Sword Qi into Swords of Annihilation and attacking Wukong.

However, the situation remained unchanged, as the Swords of Annihilation disintegrated into Sword Qi as they approached Wukong, or rather, were crazily absorbed into his body. At this point, Wukong had become a spiritual energy black hole; the destructive power of the Absolute Sword Domain had no effect on him but seemed instead to become a power station supplying energy.

"Huff, Huff~!"

```

The power of the Absolute Sword Domain was also limited and not infinite. Even the Cultivation Heavenly Venerable had reached his limit by driving it with such full and frenzied force. After half an incense stick's burning time, he could no longer hold on. With a flash of light, the Cultivation Heavenly Venerable fell out from the blade light of the Sword of Annihilation's true form, gasping heavily.

The Absolute Sword Domain dissipated with his figure emerging from the sword light, and all the Sword Qi that formed the Absolute Sword Domain was swallowed by Sun Wukong.

"This guy, a freak! A monster!"

The Cultivation Heavenly Venerable watched Wukong, who sat cross-legged in the air with his eyes tightly closed, still voraciously devouring the spiritual energy of the world around him. His eyes were full of astonishment.

There was a step of absorbing the spiritual energy of nature to strengthen oneself when breaking through from a Taiyi Golden Immortal to a Da Luo Golden Immortal and forging the supreme Golden Elixir Great Dao. But from ancient times till now, no one had ever devoured the spiritual energy as crazily as Wukong did. It was blatant plundering.

Regardless of grade or property, forcefully pulling it over and swallowing it. The key was that he could really absorb it!

Inconceivable! Truly inconceivable!

The Sword of Annihilation fell into the hands of the Cultivation Heavenly Venerable, its blade trembling slightly. All those Sword Spirit Qi were released from the Sword of Annihilation, and now, all were swallowed by Wukong.

For the Sword of Annihilation, the loss was not small, and even though it was a Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heavenly Dao Slaying Sword, the loss was still somewhat severe. The sword cries, like complaints, made the Cultivation Heavenly Venerable's brows furrow even tighter.

Under the current circumstances, the Cultivation Heavenly Venerable had no way to deal with Wukong. Right now, Wukong was simply a humanoid black hole, any energy getting close to him was absorbed. Attacking Wukong at this time was tantamount to providing him with energy, despite feeling aggrieved, the Cultivation Heavenly Venerable could only suppress his frustration for the moment.

All he could do now was wait, wait for Wukong's current state to end, and after he officially became a Da Luo Golden Immortal, then make his move. He didn't believe that Wukong could maintain such a state forever.

"What's happening to Brother Wukong now?" Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan had been floating on a cloud, observing from afar. From the start until now, he had been of no help at all. Wukong's current state was something he had neither seen nor heard of before—the ability to forcibly absorb the spiritual energy of nature within a domain like this!

"This dragon is also unclear; let's just watch and see how it changes."

Ying Long Ying Tian was equally confused, as he too had never encountered such a situation. However, he seemed to understand now why his second brother, Ao Tian, had chosen to sign a blood pact of the Dragon Race with Wukong. It looked like, apart from making a quick decision out of necessity, Ao Tian had also recognized Wukong's potential and extraordinary nature, placing a bet on him.

The scene suddenly fell into a strange stalemate. Wukong continued his breakthrough with eyes closed, completely ignoring the changes happening around him. Ying Long Ying Tian and Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan stood quietly by the side, like guards.

The Cultivation Heavenly Venerable held the Sword of Annihilation but made no move, just silently cultivating to recover his depleted strength. Beneath the seemingly calm surface, it seemed as if more turbulent waves were brewing...

East Victorious Divine Continent, Flower-Fruit Mountain.

After half a month of rest and regrouping, the Heavenly Court's army finally launched another attack on Flower-Fruit Mountain. This time, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing did not, as before, send out Divine Generals to challenge the fight one-on-one. Among the Immortals and Gods who came to suppress the mountain this time, there was no one who could definitely defeat the Six-Eared Macaque.

Plus, the other Demon Generals of Flower-Fruit Mountain hadn't made their move yet—who knew if there were other powerful demons lurking inside?

Li Jing had thought it through. The Heavenly Army was here to subdue Flower-Fruit Mountain. Since single combat didn't work, then it was to be an all-out attack.

Even if there were a few powerful members of the Demon Clan within Flower-Fruit Mountain, facing the siege of eighty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Four Great Heavenly Kings, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and the plethora of Gods from the Four Elements, he didn't believe they could turn the tide!

"You four, we didn't finish last time; let's continue!"

The Six-Eared Macaque took the initiative to meet the Four Great Heavenly Kings, dragging them into his battle circle with an iron staff and a scoffing cold laugh. As enemies faced each other, their resentment was especially strong. The Four Great Heavenly Kings were already fuming, especially the Great Sight Heavenly King Mo Lishou.

Even his purple-golden fox marten had been captured and executed by the Six-Eared Macaque—at least, in Mo Lishou's view, and he couldn't contain his anger. In the midst of his thunderous roar, he unleashed all the tricks up his sleeve, launching a ferocious attack on the Six-Eared Macaque.

"Demon Monkey, today this king will make you pay your blood debt! Hand over your life!"

"Pfft! Anybody can talk big; if you have any skills, just use them all. I, Six-Eared, will accompany you to the end!"

The Four Great Heavenly Kings opened fire together, surrounding the Six-Eared Macaque and breaking out into an intense fight. On the other side, the Bull Demon King faced off against the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

"Bull Demon King, are you truly determined to muddy the waters of Flower-Fruit Mountain?"

Jingmu An, the leader of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, watched the Bull Demon King blocking their path with an iron staff, and couldn't help but frown and ask solemnly.
