After Sun Wukong had finished his introduction, the little monkey suddenly turned serious and addressed everyone, "Now that you all are aware of my identity and background, and with Zhibei present here, you should have no issues regarding my identity and trustworthiness, right?" After receiving affirmative responses from the crowd, the little yellow monkey continued, "Since that's the case, let tell you about the organization known as the Underworld God Army. Although I'm not very familiar with them, I still know a bit more than you all."
Upon hearing the little monkey's words, everyone instantly quieted down. If the current montum was anything to go by, the upcoming battles were no longer just between the forces of the ten directions. The Myriad Demons Country had sohow managed to find such a batch of reinforcents, and this weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. After all, this was the Patrolling Celestial World; each power had only so many people, and losing one ant one less fighter.
"I don't know exactly when the Underworld God Army appeared here. As I ca to this place and gradually dominated the ferocious beasts, I, too, encountered people in tattered armor. And after I truly beca the ruler of all ferocious beasts in the Patrolling Celestial World, I found out that these people in tattered armor were the Underworld God Army. For hundreds of years, I have been leading the ferocious beasts in warfare against them!"
"Before I ca along, the Underworld God Army could be said to have been the rulers of the Patrolling Celestial World. All ferocious beasts were rely their hunting targets. However, once I beca the ruler of the ferocious beasts, under my leadership, the beasts beca an organized group and gradually began to gain the upper hand in the fight against the Underworld God Army. After all, the number of ferocious beasts in the Patrolling Celestial World is virtually uncountable, while the Underworld God Army, although individually powerful, is few in number."
"I also gradually beca a thorn in their side. They launched many surprise attacks attempting to eliminate , but they were repelled by my strong combat power and the relentless assault of the ferocious beasts. Uh, okay, okay, I'll get to the point!" The little yellow-haired monkey, who had intended to continue boasting about his glorious deeds, hurriedly gestured with his hands upon seeing the angry looks from the crowd.
"Uh, the point is, as far as I know, the Underworld God Army has over twenty thousand mbers. The strongest among them is comparable to him," he said, pointing at Xi Zhao. "And the weakest, roughly similar to those people over there," he indicated, pointing at the others resting by another fire. "Besides, they have many strongholds, positioned in places where the spiritual energy is particularly dense. And on their bodies, all of them wear a kind of chain. It seems to be a punitive asure. There's a small lock at the chest level of the chain that absorbs a large amount of spiritual energy from their bodies every day. If it doesn't absorb enough spiritual energy, it will start to drain their life force."
"So in order to survive, they are forced to constantly search for Heaven and Earth Treasures or devour the inner cores of ferocious beasts, or find places with an extrely dense concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power to cultivate day and night without stop. Moreover, from what I've discovered, all mbers of the Underworld God Army wearing these chains don't age, and as long as they don't get killed by soone, they are very likely to possess the ability for eternal life."
Having said all this, the yellow-haired little monkey then stopped talking, clearly giving everyone so ti to digest the information. And indeed, his words had shocked everyone present. First, they were amazed by the identity and power of the little monkey. Of course, not because of his status as one of the Four Great Spirit Monkeys, but rather because he was the leader of all ferocious beasts in the entire Patrolling Celestial World. They still had no clear data on how large the Patrolling Celestial World was, but it was certainly not smaller than a Divine Nation, and it was filled with all kinds of ferocious beasts everywhere.
Even if the little monkey's words were sowhat exaggerated, it was still astounding. If they could truly forge an alliance with the little monkey in the future, it would definitely beco a powerful force. Secondly, it was the number and strength of the Underworld God Army. Twenty thousand might not be seen as a significant force for any Divine Nation, but now they were in the Patrolling Celestial World. How many people were there in total from the Netherworld World, Canglan River Realm, and Myriad Gods Hall combined?
Moreover, the strongest among them is actually almost as strong as Xi Zhao? Even though Xi Zhao's cultivation is only at the level of a Peak Supre, his combat power is definitely far beyond his actual cultivation level. Didn't you see how, just now in front of the Annihilation Palace, Xi Zhao faced off against three powerhouses by himself with apparent ease? Moreover, Xi Zhao didn't even use his full strength, and no one would doubt that if he wished, he could have killed those three people.
Thus, at this mont everyone was half excited and half worried. What they originally thought was a simple trial in the Patrolling Celestial World had now beco so troubleso. After waiting a while, the little yellow-furred monkey scratched his head and continued, "Also, I have another piece of bad news to tell everyone. Those from the Underworld God Army, we can consider them enemies, but if possible, try not to kill them. Of course, if they truly endanger your lives, you must defend yourselves. What I an is, you should try to avoid clashing with the Underworld God Army and win the final victory without engaging them!"
This statent once again confused everyone, but Zhibei imdiately explained, "According to the records of my lineage, the Underworld God Army should be the troops under that Underworld Venerate who fought a great battle against Lord Pioneer. After the Underworld Venerate was defeated and sealed by Lord Pioneer, his Underworld God Army naturally beca a defeated and imprisoned force. The chains and small locks on their bodies, as well as their eternal life, are indeed likely a form of punitive asure. And the one who administered this punishnt, is very likely to be a Heavenly Patroller. And regarding that small lock which needs to absorb a great deal of spiritual energy, I hold significant suspicion!"
Zhibei's explanation cleared things up for everyone instantly, boiling it down to two reasons. The first reason was that a Heavenly Patroller or so extrely powerful being wants them to endure this painful punishnt in this form in the Patrolling Celestial World, hence not wanting anyone to kill them and put an end to this punishnt. The second reason concerns the small lock that has been continuously absorbing spiritual energy for tens of thousands of years, which is definitely no simple matter. The person behind it also values this small lock, so they would not want anyone to kill these people, causing the small lock to stop its intense absorption.
"Who told you these things?" Zhibei pondered for a mont before finally asking. At this ti, the little monkey suddenly showed an extrely alarming expression and said with difficulty, "I don't know. Indeed, soone warned , but I never actually saw this person. However, I can be certain that this person's strength is absolutely terrifying, beyond anything we can imagine. Otherwise, those re twenty thousand or so people would have been wiped clean by long ago, instead of being tolerated as they slaughter my ferocious beasts!"
At this, everyone's expression turned ugly once again. Zhibei gave a light sigh, "It seems that things are much more complicated than I imagined, but we are not really at a disadvantage. Alright, what are you all doing? Although the enemy is troubleso, I think they should be more bothered than us!"
"First of all, just with the World Suppressing Steles, we already possess two of them. Everyone already knows about the Wasteland Stele here with the Great Saint. And the Buddha Sha Wujing, originally from the Ancient Primordial World, also has one, and this Sha Wujing was originally the Great Saint's junior brother, having just lost his mory. Once Wukong restores his mory, we will definitely gain another strong ally. Secondly, we still have a nurical advantage in terms of manpower; I believe the casualties on their side will far exceed ours in this battle. Furthermore, we have good relations with both the Fangcun Spirit Realm and the Genesis Divine Nation. Although there were so unpleasantness between Netherworld and Genesis before, cooperation against a common enemy is still very possible. Lastly, the alliance with Yuan Bisi, with their help in containing the Underworld God Army, we still hold advantages incomparable to them!"
"Moreover, through this battle, we have gained a great understanding of the strength of those three parties. I believe that at this mont, the Soul Devouring Monk from the Ancient Primordial World must be wishing desperately for death!"
Just then, soone suddenly called out loudly, "The monk is awake, soone co quickly!"
