On the ground, the vengeful spirits were continuously absorbed into Chi Chen's body. Chi Chen went from trembling in pain at the beginning to being numb and insensitive now. It was only a few tens of minutes, but it felt like an eternity to Chi Chen.
The light in Chi Chen's eyes had faded, leaving no trace of brilliance.
Chi Chen's face was now completely devoid of color, and it was covered with fine black lines filled with deathly aura.
"Kid, hang in there, you're almost there!"
The monkey's voice rang in Chi Chen's mind, but it failed to elicit the slightest reaction from him.
At this moment, Chi Chen truly resembled a soulless corpse.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"
Chi Chen's soul drifted in an endless dark space, surrounded by nothing but blackness.
Countless whispers seemed to be echoing in Chi Chen's ears, constantly assaulting his consciousness and gradually plunging him into chaos.
At this moment, Chi Chen was like a lonely ghost wandering in endless darkness. He didn't know where he should go or who he was. He could only wander aimlessly in this seemingly boundless dark world.
"Kid, wake up!"
"Hey kid, you can't go any further!"
"Wake up!"
Suddenly, clear voices reached Chi Chen's ears.
Among those voices were anxiety and anticipation.
But amidst the chaotic screams, their voices still seemed somewhat insignificant.
Chi Chen's eyes gradually lost their light, and in no time, he would be completely lost in this endless darkness.
"Kid, you have a long and difficult road ahead of you, but your Uncle Chen believes in you, and I'm sure you can keep going..."
"Kid, back in the day, your Uncle Chen, wielding only a knife, hacked his way from the west to the east of Luan Ning District without even blinking an eye..."
"Cough cough... Kid, stop crying... People die and birds fly to the sky... Why can others die but I can't? Come visit your uncle more often sometime... cough cough..."
Suddenly, another voice appeared in Chi Chen's ears. Although the voice was soft, it made Chi Chen's body tremble slightly.
"Uncle Chen...?"
Chi Chen murmured softly, two lines of tears silently streaming down his lifeless eyes.
"I... am Chi Chen. I will eradicate all the mysteries of the world. I cannot... lose myself here like this!"
Chi Chen spoke intermittently, and a glimmer of light rekindled in his dull eyes.
Chi Chen looked up and saw a blurry figure smiling at him.
"Ughhhh!!! Wake up!"
A burst of golden light suddenly flashed in Chi Chen's eyes, and he let out a loud roar.
But Chi Chen's roar was not directed at himself, but rather at the cold, misty palace within his body.
Finally, the last wisp of vengeful spirit was sucked into Chi Chen's mouth.
Chi Chen pressed down with both hands, and all the vengeful spirits rushed straight towards the palace, transforming into a dark stream that sped towards the mist.
"Whoosh!"
The stream formed by the vengeful spirits seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, pushing the mist back a few more times. But as the mist retreated, the dark stream formed by the vengeful spirits also quickly dissipated.
As the mist receded, a towering throne appeared, upon which sat a majestic stone statue, its eyes blazing with anger, clad in ancient robes and wearing an imperial crown.
This is the third deity to appear within Chi Chen's body, the Emperor of the Underworld who governs the six heavenly ghosts and gods of the six heavens below Fengdu.
"Well!"
The statue appeared, and a timeless and ancient voice rang out from the palace.
"Monkey, do you know how much damage releasing me ahead of time will cause to his body?"
The majestic voice of the Emperor of Fengdu rang out, carrying a hint of reproach towards the monkey.
"Hehe, let Nuwa handle whatever happens. I, Old Sun, can't manage all that. I'm just following this kid's advice."
A voice also came from the monkey statue, but it sounded rather rascal-like.
"Your Majesty, please help this humble one!"
Chi Chen's soul stood in the palace, so ethereal that it seemed about to dissipate at any moment, yet he still bowed deeply to the Fengdu Emperor, who exuded the majesty of a great emperor, with unwavering eyes.
"Very well, things have come to this point, there's no point in saying more. Since you've made your choice, you should bear all the consequences yourself!"
Seeing this, the Emperor of Fengdu was helpless. Now, he still had to help Chi Chen resolve the current crisis as soon as possible.
"Monkey, get ready!"
The voice of the Emperor of Fengdu rang out, and an extremely chilling aura emanated from his statue, directly merging into the monkey statue.
"Snap!"
Then, to Chi Chen's expectant and shocked gaze, fine black cracks appeared on the surface of the monkey statue.
Yes, that's why Chi Chen stayed.
The third statue in the mist, after Chi Chen's constant pleas and insistence, finally prompted the monkey to reveal a sliver of heavenly secret to him. And at Chi Chen's repeated requests, the monkey also revealed the only way that could help Zhang Rong and the others.
That is to forcibly absorb vengeful spirits into the body, using strong nether energy to break through the fog shrouding the Emperor of Fengdu ahead of time.
Then, the Great Emperor of Fengdu will briefly break the monkey's shackles, allowing the monkey to truly appear in the outside world.
However, this process was extremely dangerous; if he was not careful, Chi Chen would die instantly.
If Chi Chen hadn't endured years of inhuman torture, both mentally and physically, he would never have survived.
Even so, Chi Chen's current state can only be described as appalling. His body was previously filled with a large amount of residual death energy.
Meanwhile, the deathly aura was constantly eroding Chi Chen's life force. What Chi Chen didn't know was that his body was now withered like a dead tree, and his hair was deathly white, constantly falling to the ground.
If the Great Emperor of Fengdu hadn't absorbed all the dead within Chi Chen's body upon his awakening, Chi Chen's body would likely have long since become a skeleton.
Chi Chen's soul was barely holding on to taking shape; if he were not careful, it would dissipate into starlight.
"Boy, you are too weak now. Even if the monkey can break free from your body, he will always be connected to you. In your current state, the monkey can only stay outside for five minutes at most. My power is also limited by you. After helping the monkey break free from my body this time, I will also fall into a deep sleep. If you want me to wake up again as soon as possible, you must collect more vengeful souls and inject them into my divine statue in the future!"
The voice of the Emperor of Fengdu reached Chi Chen's ears, but it grew softer and softer until it disappeared completely.
At the same time, cracking sounds kept coming from the monkey statue.
Finally, the stone fell, and before Chi Chen's soul completely lost consciousness, Chi Chen seemed to see a five-colored light disappear before his eyes.
Then, Chi Chen's world was plunged into darkness once again.
Outside, a beam of five-colored light emanated from Chi Chen's withered body, heading straight for the battlefield in the sky without any hesitation.
"Hehe, let me show you all how powerful I, Old Sun, am!"
High in the sky, as the monkey's voice rang out, everyone, both human and mysterious, was startled, taken aback by the fighting spirit that pierced the sky.
Among them, the Demon God was the most terrified, because his Demon God Space was beginning to distort.
In an instant, as the sound of shattering rang out, the demon god could no longer suppress the horror in his heart. However, his fighting spirit easily broke through his demon god space.
Even the frenzied Zhang Rong was stunned at this moment, turning his head to look at the figure that had risen into the sky.
"Holy crap! That's... Sun Wukong?!"
At this moment, even the most knowledgeable experts of the Moon Realm couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at the figure clad in seven-colored armor and covered in long hair.
What the hell is going on here?
The four gods of the Heretical Forbidden House were utterly dumbfounded. They were no gods at all; this was the real god!
In the distance of the battlefield, Lin Bai, who was still pounding on the invisible barrier in front of him, was caught off guard by the sudden disappearance of the Demon God Space and fell directly to the ground.
At this moment, apart from Han Jin, only a few people remained. Although the others were reluctant to leave, they had no choice but to retreat towards the city wall under Han Jin's orders.
Therefore, at this moment, only Han Jin, Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and Hu Miaomiao are present.
"Holy crap! Sun... Sun Wukong?"
Han Jin stared at the figure high in the distance. Even though they were far apart, he could clearly see the monkey's figure with his sharp eyesight.
Lin Bai and Qing Sheng were also drawn to the monkey's figure, and then the three of them suddenly realized what was happening and quickly looked at the ground in the distance.
There, a shadowy gate appeared, and Hu Miaomiao's figure appeared beside Chi Chen.
As Hu Miaomiao looked at the figure in front of her, tears welled up in her eyes.
It's only been half an hour, so why has that fair-skinned boy changed into this state?
Hu Miaomiao reached out to touch Chi Chen's face, but her hands trembled and stopped in mid-air. She was afraid that the moment she touched Chi Chen's body, the boy who was still stubbornly standing with his knife on the ground would fall to the ground.
In the distance, Han Jin also rushed over here with Qing Sheng and Lin Baiyu at the first opportunity.
Now they finally understood why Chi Chen had stayed in the Demon God Space at the last moment.
High in the sky, after a brief moment of shock.
The monkey's first action sent shockwaves through everyone's hearts.
The demon god wished he could slap himself twice. If he had just casually waved his hand at Chi Chen and wiped out that insignificant ant, things wouldn't be like this now.
The monkey vanished from everyone's sight, and when it reappeared, it was holding a golden staff that seemed to be shining in the air.
Dark God was terrified and was about to use a forbidden technique to escape, but with a chuckle from the monkey, Dark God was horrified to find that his body was moving as slowly as a snail, and even his consciousness seemed to be stuck in a quagmire.
Then, the stick fell.
"Bang!"
A cloud of blood mist burst from the Dark God's body, and thus ended the sinful life of this self-proclaimed god of the Heretical Forbidden House.
"!!!"
"Victory Sun Realm!"
At this moment, everyone present was shrouded in a deep fear. To kill a Moon Realm cultivator with a single blow—what else could it be but the Victory Sun Realm?
The monkey killed the Dark God with a single blow, but there was no joy on his face. Instead, his monkey face frowned because he realized that because he had used his power, the five minutes he originally had to move around outside had been reduced to two minutes. This meant that he would only have one more chance to make a move.
The Emperor of Fengdu was right. Even if the monkey were to leave his body, it would still be connected to Chi Chen. Chi Chen's cultivation level was not high enough to support the monkey leaving his body. Moreover, Chi Chen was already on the verge of death. If the monkey were to use its power without any restraint, Chi Chen would probably die on the spot.
Therefore, amidst the terrified gazes of the crowd, the monkey's eyes met those of the demon god.
"Gurgle!"
Upon seeing this, the demon god broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding wildly. The shadow of death instantly loomed over him. Under the monkey's gaze, the demon god froze, not daring to move an inch.
Even though he was half a step into the realm of the Supreme God, far stronger than the Dark God, the seemingly light blow from the monkey earlier was enough to leave the Demon God with an unforgettable shadow.
Just as the monkey was about to make its move, the entire sky darkened again, and a dark moon, which had not been there before, appeared in the sky.
A terrifying aura, almost indistinguishable from that of a monkey, appeared beneath this world.
"!! It's the Moon God! He succeeded!"
The remaining three heretical deities suddenly became agitated and exclaimed in surprise.
The monkey's gaze also turned to a certain place, baring its teeth at it. There, a figure shrouded in a black robe, with a slightly pale face, appeared from the void.
