Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 903 - 904: Energy Gathering Transformation (Second Release!)
"Hong Jun, you asked for this!"
With a loud roar from Right Envoy Kun Du, his body suddenly expanded, sharp spikes sprouting out from within, forming armor that covered his entire body. At the same time, these bone spikes extended onto the Black Gold Great Sword in his right hand, tightly merging the sword’s hilt with his palm, transforming it from a two-handed sword into a one-handed one, as if it grew from his very being.
His freed left hand sprouted a bone shield, and now Right Envoy Kun Du resembled a shield-armored soldier, but a particularly fierce one, armed to the teeth.
His aura increased significantly compared to before, and his presence grew increasingly terrifying.
"Has this guy finally unleashed all his skills out of shame?"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s face became heavy. He could contend with Right Envoy Kun Du, but was only at the Domain King Realm. He had not yet mastered the energy gathering transformation technique available to those at the Domain Emperor Realm.
Indeed, energy gathering transformation is a unique ability of the Demon Clan specific to the Yuan Realm, or more accurately, a special skill mastered by great demons above the Domain Emperor Realm. It allows them to rapidly absorb a huge amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to enlarge their bodies, dramatically enhancing their physical strength, with a significant boost in power, speed, attack power, and defensive power.
Right Envoy Kun Du’s current state was not the ultimate form of energy gathering transformation. He had held back, as in that state, the power would be uncontrollably immense, risking considerable environmental damage with the slightest mistake.
Moreover, despite his murderous demeanor and threats to eliminate Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, actually killing him would give him pause. After all, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor was an Elder of the Heavenly Artifact Alliance and a once-in-a-millennium genius, capable of combat power comparable to Domain Emperor experts while only in the Domain King Realm. Such talent is rare.
If he were to eliminate Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, it would bode ill for Right Envoy Kun Du, as the Heavenly Artifact Alliance would definitely retaliate, and even the Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor might not be able to protect him!
The Alliance Hierarch Xiao Hu of the Eastern Continent’s Heavenly Artifact Alliance has a fiery temper, and is favored by numerous Domain Emperor and Domain Saint experts. Right Envoy Kun Du did not wish to provoke him!
Boom!
After transforming, Right Envoy Kun Du’s power surged several times over, and his speed as well. With a swing of his sword, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor could only respond by hard blocking with the Heavenly Dao Longsword. As the two swords clashed, a mighty force surged through, sending Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor flying.
"Is this the power of energy gathering transformation after the Demon Clan enters the Domain Emperor Realm? Truly terrifying! Will I be able to master this skill once I reach the Domain Emperor Realm?"
Shaking his numb arm from the impact, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor was inwardly shocked. He never stopped channeling the Creation Jade Disc, which diminished all attack power by half. Yet, Right Envoy Kun Du’s sword still far exceeded his strength, directly knocking him back. At this rate, defeat seemed inevitable!
"Hong Jun! I told you long ago, you are not my match. Trying to stop me is like an ant trying to halt a chariot!"
Right Envoy Kun Du kept swinging the Black Gold Great Sword at Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, each strike sending him flying despite being blocked, leaving him gasping heavily as his strength dwindled, unable to maintain his previous composure, while Right Envoy Kun Du maintained his effortless demeanor.
"Hong Jun, I’ll give you one last chance: move aside and open the barrier on the Heavenly Soldier Platform to surrender Sun Wukong, and I can act as if none of this ever happened. Otherwise, even if I have to deal with Xiao Hu’s wrath later on, I’ll still strike hard to kill you!"
After sending Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor flying once more, Right Envoy Kun Du grew impatient, his eyes flashing coldly, pressing his icy killing intent onto Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor as he coldly yelled. He was indeed wary of the Alliance Hierarch Xiao Hu of the Heavenly Artifact Alliance’s Eastern Continent branch, but compared to the threat Sun Wukong posed, Xiao Hu’s future retaliation seemed trivial.
No matter what, today he must eliminate Sun Wukong, never giving him the chance to grow further, and prevent future dangers for the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan!
"What should I do? This guy is too strong after transforming, and I can’t stop him with my current power!"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s face was somber. The gap in cultivation was too vast, and without mastering energy gathering transformation, the disparity only grew, making blocking Right Envoy Kun Du exceedingly difficult!
"Do I really have to use Creation Heaven and Earth?" freёnovelkiss.com
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor glanced toward the Heavenly Soldier Platform, thinking, Sun Wukong’s breakthrough had reached a critical moment. If interrupted now, the backlash from the weather and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi could be immediate. This might jeopardize his cultivation breakthrough or even maintaining his current cultivation level could be difficult, possibly leaving incurable ailments!
"It seems I must use Creation Heaven and Earth! Damn it, it’s supposed to be my trump card for vying for a spot in the Heavenly Que Realm!"
After much deliberation, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor resolved to bite the bullet and fully channel the Power of Creation within him to execute his secret final move, Creation Heaven and Earth. Just then, a hearty laugh echoed from afar:
"Kun Du, I said you’re getting more cowardly as you age, and I was darn right. With your Domain Emperor Realm cultivation, you still bully juniors with lesser cultivation. I feel ashamed for you!"
It was Divine General Yuan Long of the Battle God Ape Clan!
Yuan Long had arrived at the Heavenly Demon City long ago. He watched from afar as Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Right Envoy Kun Du engaged. Seeing Right Envoy Kun Du use the energy gathering transformation skill, becoming overwhelmingly powerful, forcing Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor to the brink of collapse, Yuan Long finally stepped out.
Divine General Yuan Long knew Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, having once secretly visited the Heavenly Demon City to ask him for artifact refining and alchemy. His Iron Wind Thunder Cudgel was upgraded and refined by Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor; technically, Yuan Long owed him a favor. Now witnessing Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor in such peril, if he continued to watch idly, how would he face him in the future, let alone request alchemy or artifact refining?
"Yuan Long, it’s you again?"
