As Xi Zhao flew out, Wu Ming's right hand flickered in the void, and a blood-red needle as long as a baby's arm appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, Wu Ming directly thrust the bloody needle into the Baihui acupoint atop his head. This was only the beginning; Wu Ming was now fighting with a resolve to die, and in order to possess the power to truly kill Xi Zhao and avenge Hidden Mountain, he resorted to his final technique, the Thirteen Acupoint Blood Gathering thod.
It was a move unique to Wu Ming, different from the "Burial" technique inherited by Rogue Heart Sword Hero from the Supre Sword Sovereign, which concentrated all power into a single point before releasing it in an extrely powerful strike. The danger of that move lay in whether the body could withstand the gathered power's transformation of energy attribute, that is converting Rogue Heart Sword Hero's Light Spirit Power into the withering attribute.
Wu Ming's technique simply used the blood-colored needle to stimulate all his potential, unleashing powerful strength in a short ti. If Rogue Heart Sword Hero's technique pursued an instant of overwhelming power, then Wu Ming sought short-term strength. It was hard to say which was superior, but one thing was certain: once Wu Ming used this move, his death was inevitable and irreversible.
After the bloody needle pierced the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, two more needles appeared in Wu Ming's hands. The Thirteen Acupoint Blood Gathering thod's first point, Baihui, is the root of life. The next two needles were thrust into the center of his chest, piercing the Taiyuan acupoint, the primal acupoint of the lungs, and another into the side of his lower abdon, Taixi, the primal acupoint of the kidneys. Then five more blood-colored needles flashed and pierced into the Taichong acupoint of the liver, the Tailing acupoint of the heart, the Taibai acupoint of the spleen, the Jiuewei acupoint of the diaphragm, and the Qihai acupoint beneath the diaphragm.
As the eight bloody needles entered Wu Ming's body, his aura surged in an instant. The blood mist, initially faint around his body, now thickened to the point that Wu Ming within it was barely visible. The blood-like fog constantly changed shape, forming grisly human faces, countless skulls, and various wild beasts. However, regardless of the shapes, the Blood Fiend aura emanating from Wu Ming's body kept intensifying.
By then, Wu Ming had reached the peak of Domain Lord level Cultivation. In terms of Cultivation Realm, he stood on par with Xi Zhao. The Wu Ming in the blood mist, his clothes torn to shreds, his blood forming a crude, bone-armored like Armor upon the surface of his body. Wu Ming then tore at the air in front of him, splitting the blood mist to reveal himself as he was at that mont. However, Wu Ming's appearance had completely changed; his entire body was covered in blood-red Bone Armor emitting an eerie red glow, and on his forehead sprouted a spiral-patterned, sharp, long horn as long as his forearm.
However, Wu Ming felt his current power was unsatisfactory. Suddenly, he floated into the air, and five more bloody needles appeared in his hands. Since he was fighting with the ntality of certain death, he was naturally going to unleash all his power. These five needles were inserted into the Laogong acupoint in the palms of both hands, the Yongquan acupoint in the soles of the feet, and the most crucial Mingn acupoint. The Mingn acupoint is a death point in the human body, which under no ordinary circumstances should be touched. Not even a forceful press, which could result in serious injury or even death.
It's imaginable to what extent Wu Ming was desperate at this mont. When the last bloody needle pierced into the Mingn acupoint, Wu Ming could no longer bear it and lifted his head to let out a piercingly tragic scream. His body shook slightly, but soon Wu Ming adapted. The Thirteen Acupoint Blood Gathering thod fully activated. What level of Combat Power Wu Ming now possessed, even he himself did not know, Half-step Heavenly Venerate? Heavenly Venerate Primary Stage? Or perhaps, Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade?
With all thirteen needles in his body, the Blood Fiend aura on Wu Ming suddenly exploded, and the Bone Armor on him began to spread, rapidly covering his entire body, making him look like a bone demon walking out from a sea of blood. As his Blood Fiend aura disseminated, all flora within thousands of miles withered instantaneously, and even the earth beca a foul-slling dead soil after being touched by the aura. However, it was clear that Wu Ming consciously controlled the Blood Fiend aura to avoid Sun Wukong, Ye Zi, and Yu Fan Taoist Monk; otherwise, while Sun Wukong might not be affected, Ye Zi and Yu Fan Taoist Monk certainly would have been.

From the mont Wu Ming manifested the first blood-red needle to the present, it had only taken two breaths' ti. By the ti Wu Ming completed the Thirteen Acupoint Blood Gathering Technique, Xi Zhao had just erged from the rubble of the small hill he had collapsed. Just as Xi Zhao was climbing out and had not yet steadied himself, Wu Ming moved. His motion could only be described as lightning-fast. No, his speed may have even surpassed that of lightning at that mont. At least, with his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, Sun Wukong could only see a streak of red light. By the ti Wu Ming reappeared, he was already in front of Xi Zhao, his ghastly white bone armor incessantly oozing fresh blood. And when Wu Ming appeared, his blood-red eyes were almost pressed against Xi Zhao's face. Startled, Xi Zhao imdiately crouched down to jump to the left, but as soon as his body started to lower, Wu Ming lifted his left knee, naturally covered in the bloody bone armor, which was also adorned with three blood-red bone spurs the size of little fingers.
Wu Ming raised his left knee to slam into Xi Zhao's chest. Seeing that he could not dodge in ti, Xi Zhao could only cross his arms in front of his chest. Then, Wu Ming's left knee collided with Xi Zhao's forearms, and the three bone spurs penetrated deep into the flesh of Xi Zhao's left forearm. Once the bone spurs were embedded, Xi Zhao felt as if all the blood in his body was being drawn towards his left arm. Realizing the danger, Xi Zhao pushed his mana against Wu Ming's knee and finally rebounded away.
A sinister smile appeared on Wu Ming's grueso face. But such a smile, combined with his terrifying appearance at the ti, only sent chills down one's spine. Imdiately afterward, Wu Ming charged again. The battle that was once between two n now turned into a one-man show by Wu Ming. Xi Zhao, at the peak cultivation realm of the Domain Lords, could only bitterly fend off the attacks, utterly unable to retaliate. After a few breaths, Wu Ming brutally smashed Xi Zhao into the ground and sent him crashing down from mid-air.
By then, Xi Zhao was covered in wounds with blood surging out, completely drenching him into a bloodied figure—not to ntion the blood from Wu Ming mixed among it. His left arm was destroyed, ribs were shattered, and the right knee was broken. Such was the state of Xi Zhao at that mont. In just a few breaths, the proud Xi Zhao of the Domain Lord's peak realm was reduced to lying in a crater like a beaten dog, struggling to breathe, each breath bringing forth a mouthful of blood.
On the side, Sun Wukong felt an inexplicable shock. It is said that hatred and anger can unleash unprecedented strength in a person, and Wu Ming was the epito of that. Looking at Wu Ming, who was streaked with blood, certain things deeply suppressed in Sun Wukong's heart seed to ignite. Once upon a ti, hadn't Sun Wukong himself been the sa? In the throes of rage, he bled profusely. Once upon a ti, hadn't Sun Wukong alone fought against a hundred thousand Heavenly Generals and slaughtered them all, striking fear into the hearts of all Immortals in Heaven? Once upon a ti, hadn't Sun Wukong fought his way through the Tathagata Buddha's million-strong army to rescue his master Sanzang, carving out a bloody path?
That madness, that wildness, when had he buried it deep in his heart? Was the current Sun Wukong still the Great Sage Equalling Heaven from before? If he were the sa Sun Wukong as before, what would he do if his beloved teacher died before his eyes? Would he remain as calm as he is now? If he were the original Sun Wukong, what would he do upon discovering that his fate was being manipulated by others? Would he willingly accept it as he does now? If he were the original Sun Wukong, what would he do upon learning that Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang's goal was to overthrow the self-righteous Law Enforcers? Would he go to great lengths to stop them and see them as mortal enemies as he does now?
When had he beco just like those Immortals from his early days in Heaven? He always claid to want freedom, to protect the people he cherished, but was that truly what he was doing? Why did he feel fear when he heard Xi Zhao speak of overthrowing the Law Enforcers?
Where had the courage of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven gone?
As Sun Wukong reflected deeply on these matters, suddenly a colossal red beam of light shot into the sky from where Myriad Demons Palace once stood. (To be continued.
