The originally terrifying strength of the earthy-yellow giant ape had already been daunting, but to Wukong's surprise, putting on a suit of armor boosted that strength even further. This armor was definitely not just for defense.
Dodging to the side, retreating a step, and retracting the Jingu Bang simultaneously, Wukong then firmly grasped one end of Jingu Bang with his right hand and thrust it viciously toward Emperor Huang's abdon. Emperor Huang's reaction was terrifyingly fast; after missing his first kick, he slamd his foot down onto the ground with punishing force.
The ground imdiately cracked, and Wukong, realizing the danger, sprang up and leapt far away.
Wukong's choice proved wise, for the mont after he dodged, the ground in a radius of several tens of yards around Emperor Huang collapsed instantaneously, and countless sharp earth spikes erged like bamboo shoots after a rain, their speed shockingly fast. Each spike radiated a faint yellow glow, indicating their exceptional sharpness and strength at a glance.
Before Wukong could steady himself, he felt the Earth Elental Energy gathering rapidly beneath his feet. Without a second thought, he planted the Jingu Bang into the ground and it stretched out suddenly, propelling him through sorsaults until he was a hundred yards away. Chapter Your:
Looking back, the terrain within a hundred yards around Emperor Huang had transford into a dense forest of thick, piercing earth spikes, leaving no empty space.
It seed that Emperor Huang no longer wished to clash head-on and instead planned to settle the battle using his expertise in Earth Taoist Arts.
Just then, the spikes within a hundred yards of Emperor Huang began to shake violently, struggling as if they were trying to break free from the earth's grasp. Wukong's pupils constricted, realizing Emperor Huang's intention.
Wukong quickly withdrew the Jingu Bang, and with a loud shout, a water-blue barrier rose from nowhere around his body. But that wasn't all; tal and Earth Elents crazily converged on the blue barrier surrounding him, and soon, the three Elents fused completely to form a giant shield large enough to cover Wukong's gargantuan figure.
The patterns on the shield's surface were intricate, and upon close inspection, they were astonishingly similar to the patterns on the Black Tortoise Divine Beast's shell.
Yet, Wukong wasn't finished. Using his mana, he floated the gigantic shield in front of him, then bent at the waist and plunged his hands into the ground behind him. Instantly, his body exerted force, his arm muscles swelling like small hills, his veins bulging, clearly using the greatest strength he had ever mustered.
Then, exhaling powerfully, Wukong let out a thunderous roar, and the ground behind him trembled and heaved.
Wukong, in his ape form, had sohow uprooted a small mountain from underground—this hill was three tis larger than him.
The next mont, Wukong whirled around and hurled the giant earthen mountain at Emperor Huang with trendous force. After launching the earthen mound, a mischievous grin spread across Wukong's face.
"tal Elent, explode!"
As this bellowed command was issued, the massive earthen mountain hurtling toward Emperor Huang suddenly blazed with brilliant golden light, then, carrying a dense golden glow, it accelerated and rushed straight for Emperor Huang's face.
Initially, after unleashing the sharp earth spikes, Emperor Huang planned to detonate the Earth Elental Energy, propelling all of the hundred-yard-radius spikes to explode outward. However, he now saw a huge mass of golden light smashing towards him. Without hesitation, he retreated quickly as nurous thick earthen walls rose, attempting to block the incoming mountain.
But what Emperor Huang found unbelievable was that the earthen wall he had conjured while retreating failed to block the flying golden mountain of earth. He realized that if he continued to retreat, his montum would severely wane, and Sun Wukong would seize the opportunity to charge, likely leading to his own defeat.
Determined, Emperor Huang suddenly stopped retreating, instead crouching into a horse stance, bringing his hands together, and bellowing, "Source of Hou Tu, be at my command, giant of the earth, embody !" As his voice faded, the surrounding earth began to quake as though struck by a massive earthquake of magnitude twelve.
Then, the fissured earth was all pulled by an inexplicable monstrous suction, finally adhering to Emperor Huang's body. Already a towering figure, Emperor Huang's form now swelled to more than quintuple its size, essentially turning into a mountain. By this ti, the earth mountain thrown by Sun Wukong had reached right before Emperor Huang.
A solemn look flashed in Emperor Huang's eyes, and then he spread his arms wide, forcefully eting the flying earth mountain with his sturdy chest.
The earth mountain, which had been hurtling like a teor from the sky, suddenly ca to a complete stop. The abrupt shift from motion to stillness shocked Sun Wukong, who was watching from a distance. He hadn't expected to inflict serious damage with the attack, but at the very least, he had hoped to throw Emperor Huang off balance.
Seizing that chance, he'd planned to appear suddenly behind the earth mountain to strike a fatal blow.
But contrary to his expectations, Emperor Huang still had such a trick up his sleeve, turning the earth into an extension of his body and greatly enhancing his own strength.
"Sun Wukong, now take this from !"
While Sun Wukong was contemplating, Emperor Huang, cradling the giant earth mountain, leapt high into the air and then hurled it down at Sun Wukong with even greater force and montum than Sun Wukong's earlier attack. After all, Emperor Huang's strength had surpassed Sun Wukong's by far.
Sun Wukong abruptly realized he was unable to dodge in ti. This was truly a case of digging one's own grave; why had he co up with such an idea? Not only did it fail to harm the enemy, but it also gave the enemy a tool to attack himself with even greater speed and force.
Though Sun Wukong himself did not possess the ability to suddenly enlarge, and he couldn't dodge, he had no choice but to muster all his strength and exert all his power to dissipate the tallic elental shell attached to the surface of the earth mountain.
The next mont, Sun Wukong collided brutally with the earth mountain. Instantly the ground shook, and after the earth mountain smashed into the ground creating a large pit, it began to fracture, quickly crumbling into countless large rocks.
In the center of that large pit, Sun Wukong knelt, half-covered in black dirt, looking utterly disheveled. Just then, a sharp gust of wind suddenly ca from behind Sun Wukong. Currently caught in an awkward position, with his old strength spent and his new strength yet to arise, the only thing he could do was to quickly retrieve Jingu Bang and barely manage to turn his head.
What he saw was the image of a massive battle axe growing larger in his view, and just as the axe almost reached Sun Wukong's back, Jingu Bang finally arrived in his hand at the critical mont.
With what might have been the fastest reflex of his life, Sun Wukong grasped Jingu Bang with a backhanded grip, barely positioning it behind him. Then he felt an imnse force and pain.
The next mont, Sun Wukong was sent flying.
