Under the watchful eyes of many, the chaotic battle began.

Sun Wukong stepped into the arena and immediately felt the killing intent from the stands.

Not only from the Jade Emperor, but he could also sense the presence of other Immortals.

"It's a pity I'm late."

Sun Wukong thought to himself.

The Heavenly Rules restraining the Immortals were still in effect, and with Emperor Qinghua and Lord Lao Zi, they were powerless against him.

Sun Wukong sized up the other four contestants.

The remaining contestant from the Three Thousand Immortal Paths was a young man named Duan Qi, who could absorb and resist all Spells.

Sun Wukong guessed that this ability had to do with Duan Qi's innate talent; although the competition rules prohibited the use of Immortal Law, they couldn't govern the contestant's physical constitution.

The two girls he had high hopes for were eliminated in the top twenty, which was somewhat regrettable; Sun Wukong had originally thought they would make it to the finals.

As for the Human Clan, the last five included one male and one female.

The male was named Ren Fei, a personal guard of Liu Che. The female was named Pan Xuan, still a young girl, and very special among all contestants—a Pharmacist.

Pan Xuan was proficient in using various potions and was especially good at using poisons.

The last contestant was Ao Luan.

The competition would start after the bell, and as soon as the bell rang, Sun Wukong immediately felt something strange under his feet.

He leaped up into the air in a flash, only to find that the ground below had suddenly turned into quicksand.

Not just below his feet, but the entire arena's ground had turned into quicksand.

"Wanling Creation."

Sun Wukong couldn't help but exclaim.

Although it didn't have the massive scale of Immortal Zhenyuan's creations, it was—more practical.

"Ao Luan?"

Sun Wukong thought to himself, looking in Ao Luan's direction.

He then froze for a moment, realizing that Ao Luan and the other three contestants were standing together, and even the Human Clan girl was casting a Spell with her.

Soon, the quicksand on the ground began to boil like hot water, rolling with red mist flowing among the sand particles.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing this scene, the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask the Jade Emperor: "Is that Ao Luan really reliable?"

"I promised to help her awaken the Imperial Brother."

The Jade Emperor answered.

Ao Luan wanted to awaken Sun Wukong from his slumber, and he had agreed to help her.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother looked towards the battlefield, and in just a few seconds of their conversation, countless blade tips appeared in the sky, obscuring it like a downpour, whistling towards Sun Wukong.

"Oh..."

Sun Wukong glanced at Ren Fei and exclaimed in amazement.

Just as he was about to defend himself, a chill suddenly hit his back, and upon turning around, he saw a black Round Ball silently flying towards him.

That black ball floated eerily, suddenly swelling in mid-flight into a gaping Black Dragon's mouth that seemed to even swallow light.

A tremendous pulling force was emanating from it.

Sun Wukong didn't have time to react before he was engulfed by the black maw.

"My goodness!"

From the stands, the crowd exclaimed in shock.

No one expected that this chaotic battle turned out to be a four against one.

What Spell was that black ball?

The rain of blade tips followed into the black ball, causing it to shake violently, emitting terrifying explosive sounds.

After a moment, the sounds of explosion gradually stopped.

The black maw opened, and billowing smoke poured out.

The audience, obscured by the dense smoke, couldn't see anything for a while until they saw, within the devastated sphere, Sun Wukong standing unharmed in the air, almost uninjured.

Around him wound a layer of pale golden light, gently undulating, like a transparent eggshell, blocking the black ball and all the blade tips.

The crowd immediately erupted in excitement.

"So amazing!"

"Truly worthy of being a Saint!"

The eggshell around Sun Wukong was a Daoist Skill with strong defensive power.

He waved his hand, and the surrounding eggshell transformed into golden light and vanished.

"I thought it was a black hole."

Sun Wukong was taken aback.

He almost thought something from the Heavenly Book had emerged and hastily took out his trump card, Absolute Defense.

But clearly, it wasn't a black hole.

"It's my turn."

Sun Wukong looked ahead, as another overwhelming wave of attacks was unleashed by the four contestants.

He disliked being on the defensive, and with a thought, his figure vanished in an instant.

"Pan Xuan."

The Jade Emperor moved his lips slightly, and in the blink of an eye, Sun Wukong appeared in front of the human clan maiden.

They were no more than an arm's length apart, as Sun Wukong swung a punch which shattered on impact, striking only the girl's afterimage.

The Jade Emperor heaved a sigh of relief.

"Ao Luan."

Sun Wukong suddenly uttered.

In the next moment, the wooden sword in Ao Luan's hand glowed with a red radiance.

Like the break of dawn, like the setting sun, the red was dazzling.

With a slash of his hand as if cutting through the air, the red sword light surged forward at an even greater speed, nearly slicing the girl who had just dodged an attack in two.

"What are you doing?"

Ren Fei blocked Ao Luan's strike.

He was shocked, never expecting Ao Luan to turn on them.

Sun Wukong did not waste this opportunity.

While the attention of the human clan contestants was drawn to Ao Luan, he punched through flames, his fists enveloping sharp winds as he attacked Duan Qi from the Three Thousand Immortal Paths.

Duan Qi couldn't react in time and took a solid punch from him, standing stunned for a moment before plunging straight down from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Ao Luan's sword light continued to roar towards the other two.

She suddenly unleashed a formidable strength, and for a moment, the two struggled to defend.

"What are you doing!?"

Ren Fei shouted angrily, "Weren't we supposed to cooperate?"

"I don't like my brother's actions."

Ao Luan said coldly, "But I won't betray him!"

Up in the stands, the Jade Emperor's face turned cold.

The sudden turn of events not only astonished the entire audience but also made the Queen Mother's heart skip a beat.

"Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother looked towards the Jade Emperor.

"It's fine."

The Jade Emperor sneered, "Who wins and who loses is still unknown!"

At this moment, Sun Wukong's attack did not cease. Endless Immortal Texts twisted and flickered inside his body, the light swiftly connecting into one, turning his entire figure into a luminous silhouette.

"Enchanting!"

The Wanling Immortal Path strengthened his body, as gusts of wind rose with each punch, forcing Duan Qi towards the ground.

Duan Qi was able to absorb spells, so Sun Wukong chose to engage him in close combat.

"Damn it..."

Duan Qi crossed his arms in front, the terrible impact crashing into his body, transforming into streams of Spiritual Energy that were stored within, then converging on his arms.

"Don't underestimate me!!"

Duan Qi suddenly opened his arms wide, and a great surge of Spiritual Energy transformed into a roaring Black Dragon that burst forth. In that instant, Sun Wukong's right hand reached out into the void, bizarrely seizing the Black Dragon.

Duan Qi was taken aback, unable to react in time. The Black Dragon in Sun Wukong's hand turned into a long rainbow, reflecting back at an even faster speed, smashing into Duan Qi.

With a loud "boom," Duan Qi was sent flying out of the arena.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

"Leaving the arena means defeat."

Sun Wukong landed on the ground, the light on his body quickly fading.

This mortal body of his, the side effects of the strength enhancement were too strong.

If he continued to power up, he would likely struggle to handle the battles to come.
