Great Demon Sun Wukong

```

Originally, after Sun Wukong conjured ice wings and accelerated, he was concerned that the Six-Eared Macaque wouldn't be able to keep up. But before Wukong even had a chance to glance back, he felt a streak of fiery red light flash by. "Geez, isn't this speed heaven-defying?"

"Hey, Six-Eared, be careful not to speed so fast that you break through space and end up in the void. Haha."

"Boss, even if I fly into the space-time turbulence, I'll still be faster than you."

"Then let me show you the ultimate move I've recently mastered."

After speaking, Sun Wukong connected his hands into a magical decree. He was suddenly surrounded by a light of earthy yellow mixed with silver-white. The next moment, two more pairs of wings sprouted from Wukong's back—one pair silver-white and the other earthy yellow, a manifestation of the Metal and Earth Attributes' Origin Power of the Five-Colored Divine Stone.

With the three pairs of differently colored giant wings flapping vigorously, Wukong's speed suddenly doubled, blurring even the space around him. In the blink of an eye, he had once again overtaken the Six-Eared Macaque, flying swiftly toward the farthest reaches of the East Shengzhou.

The once smug Six-Eared Macaque, upon seeing this, could no longer crack a smile. "Seriously, is this even a speed that humans should have?"

Although Six-Eared had fallen behind once more, he didn't give up and let out a thunderous roar: "Power of the Azure Dragon, unite!"

With Six-Eared's roar, the Crimson Blood Roaming Dragon Staff reappeared out of thin air, and its blood light intensified. When the light receded, Six-Eared was surrounded by five differently colored and sized dragons.

The outermost was an Azure Dragon about ten meters long, followed by Ying Long, Chi Long, Zhu Long, and Qiulong. Although all five Divine Dragons were transformed from their respective True Blood, with the exception of their size, the rest were indistinguishable from real dragons—be it their scale armor or demeanor, they were lifelike, without a trace of illusion.

After the five Divine Dragons appeared, Six-Eared did not stop but brought his hands together and roared again: "Unite."

As his voice fell, all four Divine Dragons besides Ying Long merged into one Azure Dragon, which then fused with Ying Long. What emerged was an Azure Divine Dragon with wings, fifty meters long.

Finally, Six-Eared breathed a sigh of relief, sitting cross-legged on the head of the Azure Divine Dragon with a smile on his face. The Azure Divine Dragon didn't disappoint Six-Eared, thrashing its tail and flapping its wings, it flew off at an unbelievable speed. This speed was now equal to that of Sun Wukong's.

But even though the speed of this Azure Divine Dragon was as fast as Sun Wukong's six wings, catching up was not easy due to the significant distance that had already been established between them.

So, both raced at the fastest speed of their lives, and in less than half a day, they had arrived at the Hidden Wood Forest in the extreme east of East Shengzhou.

The final result of their competition was that Sun Wukong arrived a mere five breaths ahead of the Six-Eared Macaque. Six-Eared was quite dissatisfied with this outcome, claiming that next time he would bring out his top speed from the start.

After messing around and resting for half an hour, and with both their strength and spiritual power recovered to their peak condition, they were finally ready to enter the Hidden Wood Forest.

Out of caution, Sun Wukong still took out the Jingu Bang to hold in his hand, while the Six-Eared Macaque condensed an axe from Earth Element.

"Six-Eared, aren't you a macaque? When did you become a Hou Tu Divine Ape? And this Earth Element of yours is almost surpassing my Five-Colored Divine Stone!"

"Hehe, it was an accident. I once stumbled into Empress Hou Tu's Hou Tu Palace. Empress Hou Tu saw my divine origins and granted me an Earth Spirit Pill. After eating it, I evolved into a Hou Tu Divine Ape, and I came to have an incomparable affinity with the Earth Element. Otherwise, how could I, with the body of a macaque, possibly beat you?"

"To be honest, giving you a good beating wouldn't be too much. Just look at you, you're nothing like before. If it weren't for my fiery golden eyes, who could recognize you as the Six-Eared Macaque? No, wait, you're now the Six-Eared Hou Tu Monkey."

"Forget it, that sounds awful. Just call me the Six-Eared Macaque."

The two were in the midst of their conversation when the Six-Eared Macaque's ears twitched, seemingly picking up some noise. He then abruptly pushed Sun Wukong aside, "Boss, Earth and Water defenses, full strength."

Although Sun Wukong didn't hear anything out of the ordinary, he trusted the Six-Eared Macaque's divine senses. As he was pushed, his fiery eyes revealed themselves, and he quickly summoned the Water Element within and the Earth Element without, instantly forming a gigantic elemental shield.

Similarly, the Six-Eared Macaque pressed his hands onto the ground, and a massive, earthy-yellow shield rose from beneath, his arms continuously infusing the shield in front of him with Earth System Spiritual Power. Under this power infusion, the already thick shield grew even thicker.

When the Six-Eared Macaque ceased, the shield had reached an impressive thickness of ten meters and stretched twenty meters wide.

Seeing such over-the-top defenses by the Six-Eared Macaque, Sun Wukong looked at his own shield—five meters tall and only three meters thick—and for a moment didn't know what to do.

After completing his defenses, the Six-Eared Macaque turned to see Sun Wukong's shield and couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying between chuckles, "Boss, you, you're in for it now, haha."

As Sun Wukong was puzzled, suddenly an indescribable wave of terrifying heat swept across the air. Hiding behind his shield, Sun Wukong instantly understood—the Six-Eared Macaque had advised him to set up dual element defenses to guard against this fierce fire.

But why then did he say that Sun Wukong was in for misfortune?

The next moment, Sun Wukong knew why.

Following the onslaught of heat came a sky-covering barrage of enormous dragon-shaped flames. At the realm Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque had achieved, often their spiritual senses were more reliable than their eyes. It was the case now that even though they were behind their shields, their spiritual senses still captured the two massive dragon-shaped flames heading straight for them.

They were called dragon-shaped flames and not flame dragons because it was evident that these were merely flames that had taken the shape of dragons. Nevertheless, the two were not the least bit careless, facing the threat as if it were a formidable enemy.

When Sun Wukong sensed the approach of the dragon-shaped flames, he placed his hands on the shield, his Water System Spiritual Power morphing into Ice System power, which, combined with Earth System, he channeled into the shield.

As Sun Wukong's shield expanded to a ten-meter radius, the fire dragons viciously collided with it.

The other fire dragon also slammed against the Earth Elemental Greatshield laid out by the Six-Eared Macaque. Upon the impact, the fire dragons didn't dissipate but began to spin wildly, like flaming drills, hell-bent on piercing through the shields to devour Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque hidden behind.

Seeing how tenacious the fire dragons were, the Six-Eared Macaque couldn't help but cry out in alarm. In less than a moment, his constructed shield was already half penetrated. Although the fire dragons were steadily weakening, considering their dozens of meters long bodies, it was clear he wouldn't withstand until their collapse.

Hence, using the remaining time his Earth Shield held, the Six-Eared Macaque's hands rapidly cast Magical Decrees. Just as the shield was about to be breached four-fifths of the way and the fire dragons were on the verge of breaking through, the Six-Eared Macaque finally completed his Magical Decrees.

After completing the Magical Decrees, the Six-Eared Macaque rapidly retreated, and when he was a hundred meters away, the fire dragon had already shattered the Earth Shield and was howling after the Six-Eared Macaque.

"Hmph, merely a fire dragon, you dare act so brazenly? Earth Spirit Giant, descend."

Standing afar off, the Six-Eared Macaque was not the least bit scared as the fire dragon charged at him. Upon his command, a vast silhouette suddenly plummeted from the skies, directly landing on the dragon's head.

A thunderous boom echoed as a giant stone man, twenty meters tall, appeared in front of the Six-Eared Macaque, crushing the dragon's head underfoot. With force applied from his foot, the dragon's head crumbled.

Immediately afterward, the stone giant turned, stomping and grabbing, quickly dispersing the fire dragon and reducing it to a skyful of Fire Elements scattering in all directions.

The Six-Eared Macaque smiled triumphantly, flicked his finger, and dispelled the stone giant.

At this moment, Sun Wukong clapped his hands together and had also dealt with the other fire dragon.
