Just as Xi Zhao finished speaking, Caoi suddenly yelped. Those who were previously lost in thought turned their heads to look at Caoi, whose face reddened as she said, "I was so caught up talking with you all that I totally forgot about Xiao Bai!" Without further explanation, she hurriedly took a few steps to the window and leaped out with a single bound.
"Xi Zhao, what realm do you think this little girl is at now? Why does it seem like this place is no different from her backyard garden?" asked Sun Wukong while stretching his body.
"She should be about the sa as that Saint Armor Turtle, but this little girl is indeed extraordinary. She's actually able to fool the Heaven and Earth Laws and conceal her cultivation to appear at the Six Patterns realm."
Seeing Sun Wukong stretching his body, Xi Zhao and Fla God also felt a bit stiff. Moreover, having just advanced to the Nine Patterns Supre, everyone except Xi Zhao was sowhat unfamiliar with the imnse power they had just acquired.
"Monkey, how about we spar a bit? We've got two months, and we can't go out or leave. Plus, our strength and realm can't be improved for now, so even if we keep cultivating, it'll be a waste of ti," Xi Zhao said while rotating his neck, full of fighting spirit.
Sun Wukong and Fla God were belligerent by nature. Nearly a year had passed, and days filled with nothing but cultivation had beco exceedingly monotonous. So, at the suggestion of Xi Zhao, they both readily nodded, their eagerness to battle boiling over. Especially since they had just ascended to the Nine Patterns Supre, they indeed needed real combat to get familiar with their powers.
"Right, Monkey, see if you have anything in your ring that can quickly restore soul power. For these two months, let's go for a wild skirmish," Xi Zhao said, worried that relying on their own abilities to recover soul power would be too ti-consuming. In this energy-rich and law-abundant place, undisturbed by anyone, it was simply an ideal spot for combat.
It would be too impractical to waste ti on recovery.
Then, Fla God, Xi Zhao, and Sun Wukong took out everything they had that could restore soul power or heal soul injuries and laid them out together. Then it was Sun Wukong and Fla God who began to spar and slaughter each other, with Xi Zhao on the side giving pointers, watching, and intervening when necessary and restoring the injuries of one who was on the brink of death.
However, Sun Wukong's Heavenly Stele was forbidden by Xi Zhao; otherwise, once the stele was invoked, Fla God wouldn't stand a chance. This suited Sun Wukong just fine as he had always wanted to stop relying on the World Suppressing Stele.
But due to the enemies he faced either outnumbering him or being outrageously strong, Sun Wukong could only rely on the World Suppressing Stele to save his life.
Setting the World Suppressing Stele aside, Sun Wukong then held the Golden Hoop Staff reversed in one hand and confronted Fla God. Fla God, just as cautious, held the massive Exploding Phoenix Blade tightly in both hands, his eyes solidly fixed on Sun Wukong.
The two faced off for a short while, both becoming slightly impatient. At almost the exact mont this emotion arose, both burst forth with force from their feet, charging at each other like human-shaped missiles. Sun Wukong clenched the Jingu Bang tightly, and Fla God gripped the Exploding Phoenix Blade.
But at that mont, Xi Zhao, who was observing from the side, shook his head and then covered his eyes with one hand.
Suddenly there were two muffled thuds and two cries of pain. Xi Zhao removed the hand covering his eyes, and, just as he had expected, Sun Wukong and Fla God hadn't collided but had each slamd into the wall behind their opponent. Fortunately, the walls, being Ancient Magic Treasures, remained undamaged despite the full-force impact by the two combatants.
Because of this, both fighters were left dizzy and disoriented. Standing up and rubbing their foreheads, both Sun Wukong and Fla God couldn't help but sheepishly chuckle.
Since both had made drastic leaps in strength, advancing from Six Patterns Saints to Nine Patterns Supres in less than a year, and in addition, they had replaced all the laws they previously understood with High Level or Top Level ones. This led to a gross underestimation of their own power.
At the Nine Patterns Supre realm, one could no longer rely solely on Divine Sense or aura to gauge the strength of the opponent or oneself. As after reaching Nine Patterns Supre, even a slight enlightennt in a law or a single difference in the level of a law could result in a vast disparity in power.
Just like what had just happened to the two of them; their consciousness was still stuck at the level of Six Patterns, moving instinctively with the force they were used to when they were at that level. However, in reality, the speed, strength, and level of laws had increased countless tis.
As soon as they left the ground, they knew sothing was wrong due to the enormous force under their feet, which left them completely out of control. Forget attacking the opponent mid-flight; they couldn't even change direction and ended up crashing into the wall in panic.
After their awkward laughter, both closed their eyes and sank their Divine Sense deep into their bodies to feel every trace of power accompanied by their souls, as well as the might of the entirely new laws. After about a quarter-hour, they opened their eyes one after the other.
As they opened their eyes, Sun Wukong pointed left and right at Fla God, and a large hand made of condensed Earth Elent appeared out of thin air above Fla God's head, slamming down without hesitation. At the sa ti, Sun Wukong rapidly stamped his feet nine tis on the spot, his body instantly shifting from stillness to high speed.
The Fla God slightly raised his head, noticing the massive palm pressing down from the sky. His eyes showed no fluctuation as he stomped the ground with his right foot, and a crimson pillar of fire more than three ters thick burst forth from his body. This pillar of fire soared instantly, directly eting the descending earthen palm above.
Seizing the opportunity, the Fla God lifted the Strange Saber Exploding Phoenix and shifted sideways in a flash, then charged towards Sun Wukong. Just as the earthy giant palm clashed with the towering fla pillar, Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang collided with the Fla God's Exploding Phoenix Blade.
Sun Wukong, who had originally planned to smash the Fla God's waist, decisively changed from attack to defense upon seeing the Fla God's broadsword ablaze with a phoenix-shaped fla and held the Jingu Bang horizontally above his head.
With that strike, the Phoenix Illusion that had been moving continuously on the surface of the Exploding Phoenix Blade suddenly flashed with fire, and then exploded violently. However, at the instant of the explosion, the Fla God felt sothing was not right. Without ti to think, he placed the broadsword vertically behind his back.
At that mont, a trendous force ca from behind the Fla God. Though muffled by the Exploding Phoenix Blade, it was still enough to make his blood surge. He staggered forward three steps, just managing to neutralize the impact force. As soon as the impact subsided, the Fla God let out a low shout, and the crimson Phoenix burst out from the blade.
The truth was, the Fla God had already seen that Sun Wukong, who had just stood before him blocking his strike with the Jingu Bang, was blown into countless pieces amidst the explosion.
Of course, the Fla God knew this was not an issue with Sun Wukong's defensive power, it definitely had to be his doppelganger. Hence, he hastily used the broadsword to shield himself at the back. As expected, once the Phoenix erged, it revolved around the Fla God's body, providing protection. With the Phoenix guarding him, Sun Wukong dared not attack rashly.
So, when the Fla God turned around, he saw Sun Wukong behind him, spinning the Jingu Bang in his hands and giving him a mischievous smile.
Originally, when Sun Wukong first learned his arts, he used monkey hair as the base for his doppelgangers, aning he could only create nurous doppelgangers using monkey hair. The advantage of this was that it consud very little of his own energy, but the disadvantage was that once out of monkey hair, he could no longer use the Clone Technique.
However, who could have predicted that one day he would exist as a soul? Thus, in the Netherworld World, Sun Wukong's Clone Technique was nearly unusable. But after advancing to the Nine Patterns Supre, Sun Wukong found that he could split his soul into countless thin strands to achieve the effect of monkey hair, which allowed him to deceive the Fla God with the Clone Technique just earlier.
The Fla God's battle awareness was indeed formidable, instantly perceiving it to be a doppelganger and using the saber to defend behind.
As Sun Wukong gave the Fla God that cheeky grin, suddenly eight identical Sun Wukongs appeared around him. Each one wielded the Jingu Bang and attacked from eight different directions, with sweeping, chopping, swinging, lifting, stabbing, smashing, shaving, and targeting moves, sealing off all of the Fla God's escape paths instantaneously.
The Fla God knew these eight Sun Wukongs must be doppelgangers, but he couldn't afford to be careless. It would be fine if all eight were doppelgangers, as even if they hit him, they wouldn't cause much harm. However, he was wary that the real Sun Wukong might be mixed in among them.
Taking a deep breath, the Fla God watched as the rotating Fire Phoenix surrounding him suddenly expanded into a five-ter-tall Phoenix Illusion, enveloping him within. All of the attacks from the eight Sun Wukongs landed on this Fire Phoenix Illusion.
He had assud that these eight doppelgangers wouldn't possess much attack power, but as their attacks made contact, they suddenly turned into eight streaks of five-colored light. This light managed to tear a large hole through the Phoenix Illusion around his body.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, the Fla God noticed Xi Zhao, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, start to approach him. The Fla God paid it no mind. However, in the next mont, Xi Zhao leapt through the torn hole and struck the Fla God's abdon with a punch, followed by a flying kick that sent the Fla God flying towards Sun Wukong.
What's happening? Why is Xi Zhao intervening? Wasn't it agreed that I would have a one-on-one fight with Sun Wukong?
His mind barely had ti to react before he instinctively guarded his face with the broadsword in his hand. But then he was shocked because Sun Wukong in front of him just smiled and didn't make a move. Instead, a gust of wind blew from behind, and he felt as if he had been struck by a mountain.
What is going on here?
