"I see that Venerable has no good intentions."
Between the clouds and mist, Immortal Zhen Yuan and Sun Wukong walked side by side.
He said, "Xingtian fights without distinguishing between friend and foe, the Venerable must have determined that he would destroy the Star Official before leaving."
Sun Wukong nodded, not denying the possibility.
"Now that it has come to this, finding the head is the top priority."
Sun Wukong said, "Heavenly Dog, I'll have to trouble you again."
"Yes."
The Heavenly Dog following behind responded.
In this world without a Mountain God, how do you find a head buried inside a mountain in such a vast land?
The only option is to rely on the Heavenly Dog's sense of smell.
The two men and the dog returned to the mountains they first arrived at.
After Xingtian's rampage, many mountain ranges had collapsed, and the land had been levelled.
The Heavenly Dog approached the immobile headless Giant and started sniffing around it.
"Can you smell anything?"
After the Heavenly Dog returned, Sun Wukong asked.
The Heavenly Dog shook its head, then leaped into the sky and sniffed around in all directions.
"Your Majesty."
After sniffing for a long time, the Heavenly Dog came down and reported, "The Venerable must have sealed the head with a Barrier, I cannot detect Xingtian's scent."
Sun Wukong slightly furrowed his brow.
"This is also expected, now what should we do?"
Immortal Zhen Yuan asked.
Sun Wukong shook his head: "We can only use the most foolish method."
The so-called most foolish method is to enlist the help of humans.
Sun Wukong found the Emperor and asked him to notify all nations to search for Xingtian's head together.
"By your command."
The Emperor immediately instructed his subjects.
Sun Wukong and the others were Immortals, and they soon received responses from all nations.
The Human Clan countries sent out troops to investigate, and at the same time, the Emperor handed Sun Wukong a book.
"What is this?"
Sun Wukong looked at the book in his hand.
"This contains the Human Clan's understanding of the War God recorded throughout the past, which I've had someone compile."
The Emperor answered.
"You are very thoughtful."
Sun Wukong nodded.
He opened the book, which contained stories of the War God Xingtian and the investigations and struggles made by humans over tens of thousands of years.
According to the records, all nations had experience searching for Xingtian's head.
There was also a time after Xingtian awoke and annihilated three countries, causing alarm in all nations, who then searched for his head in various ways for dozens of years.
In the end, the humans zeroed in on a small country to the east, but their efforts were in vain.
"Does that small country still exist?"
Sun Wukong asked.
"It does not."
The Emperor shook his head: "That small country was destroyed by a group of Demons, and now it has become a paradise for Demons."
Sun Wukong closed the book: "I'll take a look."
With a rare clue, he decided to check it out himself.
"Heavenly Emperor, I have a favor to ask."
The Emperor bowed to Sun Wukong.
"Does it have something to do with the Demons of that small country?"
Sun Wukong could immediately grasp the Emperor's thoughts.
"Yes."
The Emperor was somewhat nervous and said, "My son has been captured by the Demon King, and every year a thousand boys and girls must be offered to ensure his safety."
"Have you made the offerings?"
Sun Wukong asked coldly.
"I truly had no choice."
The Emperor knelt down, weeping bitterly: "He is my last son. Because I refused to make the offerings, the Demon King has already consumed all my other sons."
Sun Wukong frowned: "Is it the same for the other nations?"
"Most are coerced by the Demon King."
The Emperor quickly said, "Each nation annually offers boys and girls to the Demon King for the Demons to enjoy."
Sun Wukong was somewhat displeased.
"Such a Demon Kingdom, it's better off destroyed."
He said.
The Emperor's face lit up with joy: "Is the Heavenly Emperor going to eradicate the Demon Kingdom?"
"I'll take a look first, then decide."
Sun Wukong responded.
He had no fondness for the Demon Kingdom, but he also didn't fully agree with the Emperor's approach.
The order of this world needed to be rebuilt.
With this thought, Sun Wukong took a leap on his Somersault Cloud and quickly arrived at the Demon Kingdom.
He stood atop the clouds, looking down, and saw many demons reveling and dancing in a city.
There were also many humans in the city, either kneeling beside the demons to serve them or tied to poles, waiting to be steamed.
An endless aura of murderous evil enveloped the city, making Sun Wukong very uncomfortable.
He unfolded the Divine Ring, his immortal power seeping into the sky, transforming into a vast sea of light.
The demons of the Demon Kingdom were indulging in pleasure when suddenly, Immortal Light shone everywhere, filling the air with a strange fragrance.
They looked up and saw a figure standing in the sky, radiant and indistinct, but his emitted light engulfed the city.
"An... Immortal?"
"This is an Immortal!"
Realizing instinctively, they were filled with panic.
Some of the smarter demons quickly retreated, trying to escape the city.
Sun Wukong's gaze swept over them coldly.
"Stop."
With a single word from him, the scattered demons were suddenly frozen in midair, unable to move.
All the demons couldn't help but shudder.
That pure and vast light, the awe-inspiring power, incited an irresistible urge in them to submit.
The city's aura of murderous evil churned but instantly dissipated upon contact with the Immortal Light.
The humans in the city came to their senses and immediately knelt down, repeatedly kowtowing.
"Immortal, save us!"
"Save us!"
Some children also knelt down.
Sun Wukong was angered and turned his gaze towards the center of the city where a one-horned Demon King emerged.
He was brimming with blood energy, gushing out demonic aura.
"So, it turns out to be a mere monkey."
The Demon King looked up, saw Sun Wukong's appearance, and laughed: "Pretending to be an Immortal, when you're a demon yourself!"
"I am a Demon Immortal."
Sun Wukong said: "You are a Devil."
"What drivel about Demon Immortal and Devil!"
The one-horned Demon King laughed loudly and, taking up his iron hammer, charged into the sky: "A demon is a demon, let me smash down this pretender and steam you into a feast for my teeth!"
His speed was incredibly fast, closing in on Sun Wukong in the blink of an eye.
Sun Wukong let out a cold shout.
"Down you go!"
As soon as the voice emerged, a weighty burst of energy struck the Demon King.
The Demon King's hair stood on end, and almost without resistance, he was hit by the blast.
"Boom!"
The Demon King smashed into the ground, creating an unfathomably deep hole.
All the demons were terrified. Was this real?
This is the power of an Immortal!
They looked up at Sun Wukong, who towered above all, exuding an intimidating aura.
"Immortal, spare our lives!"
A demon immediately knelt down.
"Immortal, spare our lives!"
Other demons followed suit and knelt down as well.
Sun Wukong was in a foul mood and was about to say something when suddenly, the sound of splitting air rang out again.
A red glow shot up from the hole, speeding towards him.
"I told you to go down!"
Sun Wukong repeated, and, accompanied by a scream, the one-horned Demon King hit the ground again, eyes wide open, body pressed to the ground by the force, unable to move.
"Who exactly are you?"
The one-horned Demon King shouted loudly.
"I was about to ask you," Sun Wukong said: "Where is your Demon King?"
"Don't tell me."
He then added: "You are the Demon King."
The one-horned Demon King laughed heartily.
"You've got a keen eye, I am the Demon King!"
"Right."
Other demons chimed in: "He is the Demon King!"
