Sun Wukong thought for a moment before nodding in agreement: "Jingu Bang, sounds really special. I, Old Sun, am originally very special, and I should have a particularly special name, so let's call it Jingu Bang. Come, come, Tangyu, I, Old Sun, want to have a grand duel with you." Sun Wukong raised the Jingu Bang in his hand, grinning as he looked at Tangyu, full of battle intent.
Tangyu smiled. This Sun Wukong, besides lacking some monkey-like traits, really is very similar to the Sun Wukong from Earth's mythological legends. Tangyu even thought about how fun it would be if one day he could bring Sun Wukong back to Earth.
Holding the Pangu Axe, Tangyu's battle intent also surged up, saying, "Come on, Sun Wukong."
"Hehe, then I, Old Sun, won't be polite. Tangyu, first take a stick from me, Old Sun." Sun Wukong directly swung the Jingu Bang, striking down fiercely toward Tangyu. The Jingu Bang emitted the power of the 'Four Calamities': wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, enveloping Jingu Bang in a terrifying power of destruction, tearing the void as it heavily smashed down toward Tangyu with an astonishing momentum.
Seeing this, Tangyu was also mildly surprised: "Cultivate the four paths of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning simultaneously, and even fuse them to transform into the Destructive Great Path. Sun Wukong is a natural spiritual body, a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Artifact, must possess an inherently peculiar constitution, turned out to be a Destruction Body, innately suited for cultivating the Destructive Great Path. A cultivator who reaches the peak on the Destructive Great Path wields overwhelming destructive power. Such terrifying destruction power, didn't expect Sun Wukong to step onto the Destructive Great Path so quickly, he truly matches the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Artifact, might really become a Battle Warrior Buddha."
In Earth's mythological legends, Sun Wukong has an extremely rich color; the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Battle Warrior Buddha, challenged the gods, an invincible existence in the hearts of countless people. This Sun Wukong here also seems to have the potential to become such a mythological powerhouse.
Faced with Sun Wukong's terrifying strike, Tangyu dared not be careless at all, immediately focused his energy two hundred percent. Such a powerful opponent also made Tangyu feel a sense of imminent crisis. Tangyu's second axe of the Pangu Nine Axes was unleashed with full force, the power of the Undying Nine Transformations was also displayed. Faced with such terrifying oppression, Tangyu sensed danger, forcing him to add more strength.
Boom——
Sun Wukong's strike was truly terrifying. It carried an earth-shattering momentum, startling many people. Too frightening, everyone was astonished by Sun Wukong's strength.
Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang heavily smashed onto Tangyu's Pangu Axe, producing a ringing sound. The force vibrated through, causing a sensation of earth shaking and mountains trembling. Tangyu, taking the heavy blow from the strike, was quite uncomfortable, retreating several steps to stabilize his form. Evidently, this clash caused Tangyu to be at a disadvantage.
Sun Wukong grinned: "Hehe, Tangyu, not bad strength, can withstand one strike from me, Old Sun. But just now I, Old Sun, was just wielding casually, probably using only thirty to forty percent of my strength. I feel you're not that weak, show your true strength and have a grand battle with me, Old Sun. Hehe, otherwise, I, Old Sun, won't be polite anymore. Come, come, take another strike from me, Old Sun."
What——
Sun Wukong's words instantly frightened many people. That terrifying strike just now actually only used thirty to forty percent of his strength? Isn't this too terrifying?
Then just how strong is Sun Wukong, exactly reached what kind of realm?
The elders were extremely surprised, but also extremely delighted. The Jiuzhou Immortal Sect seems to truly have profound good fortune and opportunity. Otherwise, why would they have recruited two prodigious talents this time? One Tangyu, one Sun Wukong, both can bring hope to the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. Judging by the potential both have shown so far, they are quite likely to achieve the Seeking Immortal Realm. Once achieved, it can greatly elevate the strength of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect.
In the face of this world-destroying calamity, the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect cannot remain aloof, no one can. At this time, having stronger power to guarantee survival amid the mortal world of destruction is crucially important to the Peaceful Continent Immortal Sect.
Boom——
Sun Wukong's strike once again smashed down heavily, this time with power more than doubled. The strike carried a feeling of destroying the heavens, shading the sun and sky. Those outer sect disciples with weaker strength turned pale in fright. They felt that if any energy overflowed even a little, it could cause them to vanish into smoke and ash.
Tangyu shook his head, realizing there's no choice, today he must use his full strength. Since Sun Wukong is so eager for a battle, then let's fulfil it. Anyway, Tangyu now feels there's no need to hide his strength. If it's exposed then let it be, he is now considered among the stronger ones in the entire cultivation world. Without Zifu appearing, Tangyu need have no fear. So now that his strength is revealed, it's nothing to worry about.
Swoosh!!!
The power of Divine Demon Body Refinement was fully mobilized, instantly boosting Tangyu's strength. Although using the same second axe from the Pangu Nine Axes, the power greatly increased. The thousand-foot-high giant axe also struck toward Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang.
"What, this Tangyu actually was hiding his strength just now? Isn't this too terrifying?"
"What frightening power, not at all beneath Sun Wukong's strike, what level is this strength? Just how powerful is Tangyu?"
"This isn't just a typical Golden Core Realm; it feels like it's already reached the Seventh or Eighth Realm of the Golden Core."
The performance of Tangyu when defeating Ba Yan was already astonishing enough. But what's shown now is even more amazing than before. Even many of the elders were startled, jumping up in disbelief, looking at Tangyu with faces full of incredulity.
Is this still a human?
It's simply an evil demon reincarnated.
The second strike of the Pangu Nine Axes bore down with a heaven-opening force, striking heavily on Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang. This time Tangyu attacked with full power, naturally suppressing Sun Wukong, directly knocking him into the air. Sun Wukong performed a beautiful flip in the air and steadied himself. Yet he did not appear embarrassed; instead, he was unusually excited: "Hehe, I knew it, Tangyu, you were hiding your strength. Now it's more interesting. Come on then, fight me for three hundred rounds, I will also give it my all this time, Tangyu, watch yourself."
"Come!" Tangyu's fighting spirit was thoroughly ignited. With Sun Wukong planning to exert full strength, Tangyu no longer dared to be careless and prepared to go all out as well.
BOOM!
CRACK!
Before the two even struck a blow, the void echoed with sounds of collapsing, like thunder, like stones cracking, like tsunamis. The momentum was extraordinary, making one's heart involuntarily tremble.
As the two engaged, an explosion of thunderous sounds erupted, roaring like a sea, shaking the heavens. Such momentum was terrifying. At their full strength, both had reached the level of the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer. In a full-force battle of such caliber, the momentum generated was naturally very terrifying. Fortunately, the Jiuzhou Mountain had a protective great formation to prevent the destructive energy from spilling out; otherwise, this mountain might have been destroyed by the two of them.
If the two were to battle like that outside, it would be a terrifying scene, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Blades of light and shadows of swords interwove, sounds of clashing constant, energy spilled everywhere, the two fiercely clashed in the sky. Sun Wukong's staff struck down with incredible force with each blow, and his striking speed was exceptionally fast, making it very hard to defend against such successive powerful strikes. However, Tangyu remained calm and composed, with the Yuguang Sword in hand, the Yin Yang Style was flawless, forming an absolute Sword Domain that repelled All Laws Invulnerable, blocking all forms of attacks.
With the power of the Second Transformation of the Undying Nine Transformations, the force of Divine Demon Body Refinement, the might of the Yuguang Sword, and the might of the Great Dao of the Yin Yang Style, Tangyu thus fortified his defenses thoroughly. Though Sun Wukong's offense was extremely fierce, it couldn't overwhelm Tangyu. Hence, both were engaged in an intensely fierce battle, locked in a stalemate.
This battle was breathtaking and marvelous to witness, indeed spectacular.
The two fought fiercely for three hundred rounds before finally stopping, and only then did the space gradually restore itself, calming down bit by bit.
Tangyu waved his hand and said, "Brother Monkey, let's stop. If we continue, it won't be interesting anymore. We've fought for so long, it was exhilarating, truly satisfying."
"Hehe, then let's stop, it was exhilarating, too exhilarating. But Tangyu, why do you call me Brother Monkey? My surname is Sun, shouldn't you be calling me Brother Sun?" Sun Wukong said.
Tangyu couldn't help but laugh and replied, "Though your surname is Sun, you are a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Monkey, so calling you Brother Monkey fits better. Besides, Brother Sun doesn't sound good at all; calling you Brother Monkey seems more personable. You're older than me, so calling you Brother Monkey is natural."
Thinking of Brother Monkey, Tangyu couldn't help but smile, it was amusing.
Sun Wukong thought for a while and said, "Alright, alright, call me as you like, I don't mind."
Following True Lord the Long Sword, Zi Cang also couldn't help but laugh. Sun Wukong, Brother Monkey—though he wasn't very familiar with Sun Wukong, after all, he had been sealed for five thousand years, and in his time, there was no Sun Wukong. Yet, he had gained some understanding of the mythical tales about Sun Wukong from Earth, so he also found it somewhat amusing.
The Sect Master Immortal suddenly spoke: "This concludes the grand tournament of the disciples. All rewards will be issued effective immediately. Tangyu, Sun Wukong, and Pan Chenyu, come with me." After speaking, the Sect Master Immortal waved his hand, enclosing Tangyu and the others in an aura, then transformed into a streak of light, rushing directly towards the Nine Heavens.
This scene incited much envy. This was Tangyu's second direct summons by the Sect Master Immortal to the Nine Heavens, a high honor even elite disciples had not received. To be summoned by the Sect Master to the Nine Heavens was indeed a prestigious privilege, even the Saint Heir like Fu Sang had never gotten such an opportunity. The treatment Tangyu received naturally made others envious, but also made them feel it was only justified.
