Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 492 - 475 Fire Phoenix and Fire Phoenix
"Hey, Xi Zhao, what is that thing Yue Huangquan gave you? It looks like a dark chunk of something." Xi Zhao first pulled the item from his bosom, and Sun Wukong leaned in to find that it was a murky black token. The token was only the size of a palm, made of a material that was neither gold nor jade nor stone nor wood, and it was indistinguishable what it was made of. Holding it in his hand, he couldn't feel anything special; it seemed to be just an ordinary token.
As Sun Wukong curiously fiddled with it, Xi Zhao explained, "This thing is called the Annihilation Order. I got it by chance initially. It was lost after my death, and I never imagined that Yue Huangquan would get it. Even for the sake of this item alone, Yue Huangquan did show me some kindness."
"Annihilation Order? What use is this thing? It seems to pale in comparison to my Stars Sand and the Hongze Flag." Xi Zhao took back the Annihilation Order, carefully put it away in his chest, and explained to Sun Wukong, "In the Annihilation Demon Nation, the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent is a totemic Divine Beast. It is a symbol of the source of all destruction and also the emblem of the Annihilation Demon Nation. Yearning for that immense, unrivaled destructive power of the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent, the techniques of those in the Annihilation Demon Nation, more or less, all have some connection to it. And the more closely related the technique is to the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent, the more powerful it is. However, most techniques still involve condensing an Energy Body of the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent through various methods using the destruction powers of oneself and the external world for battle. To my knowledge, there is also a cultivation technique in the Annihilation Demon Nation that is unorthodox, where practitioners sacrifice their own limbs to endow themselves with the power of destruction, and the more severe the damage to their own limbs, the stronger their destructive power becomes. If one day they could completely destroy themselves, losing their physical body to become a pure Energy Body, they would transform into a rare Destruction Spirit Body and could summon an incredibly powerful, physical Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent."
"Uh, but what does this have to do with the Annihilation Order?"
With a chuckle, Xi Zhao said, "Nothing much, just some common sense for you. The emergence of the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent inevitably leads to destruction. If their physical forms appear, then the world where they appear is facing complete annihilation. Moreover, there isn't just one Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent; they are a race living in the cosmic void, and whenever a world is on the brink of destruction, its aura will attract the nearest Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent. However, there are varying strengths among the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpents; the weakest can only destroy small worlds, while the strongest can destroy Divine Kingdoms!"
"That's too terrifying, isn't it? Hey, Xi Zhao, can you do it? Can you also condense an Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent? How come I've never seen you use that move?" "Of course I can, and the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent that I condense with my destructive power is capable of destroying Divine Kingdoms. But all we've been through are minor battles, and there's no need to use it. Moreover, now that I have this Annihilation Order, those Energy Body Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpents are inferior."
"What do you mean?"
"Hehe, what I mean is, now that I have this Annihilation Order, I can summon an immensely powerful, true Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent without any cost. That is something capable of destroying worlds even higher than Divine Kingdoms!"
Watching the battle below, Sun Wukong's mind flashed back to a conversation he had inadvertently had with Xi Zhao when they went to the Patrolling Celestial World. And the reason he was thinking about this conversation now was that he had suddenly realized what those two huge, terror-inducing pillars of flesh that they had encountered while facing Ling Weiyang and the others were; at the time, they even joked whether they were a giant's legs, but why were there snake scales on these legs?
Those were not some giant's legs; they were clearly the body of an enormously large Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent. The reason for its sudden appearance was also clear to Sun Wukong now; it must have been the immense aura of destruction from the explosion of the World Suppressing Stele at the Annihilation Palace that disturbed it. However, the aura of destruction from the explosion did not last long before dissipating, so without the presence of the destructive aura, the massive Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent likely fell back into slumber once more.

If Xi Zhao's Annihilation Order could awaken and control that terrifying Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent, then his side, let alone having tens of thousands of Ferocious Beasts, even if there were over a hundred thousand, would probably not be enough to be stuck between its teeth. And that, probably, was Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang's greatest and most assured reliance.
At this thought, Sun Wukong felt a chill spreading through his entire body, and with this idea lingering in mind, he watched the battle below again. As he watched, Wukong realized something was wrong. Although the Soul Devouring Monk and his allies were dominating, forcing the people of the Myriad Demons Country to shrink their defense perimeter, he noticed an unsettling detail; there had been no casualties on the side of the Myriad Demons Country for quite some time. In particular, Wukong noted that two strong warriors from the Myriad Demons Country were unexpectedly pierced through the chest by a sharp sword, yet these men fiercely retreated and pulled out the swords from their chests on their own. Just when Wukong thought they were surely doomed, he saw them reappear on the other side, completely healed without any sign of injury except for the large holes in their clothes.
Twenty strong warriors were fighting more than sixty people, and the battle had clearly been raging for some time. Yet not only had no one from the Myriad Demons Country fallen, but the side of the Soul Devouring Monk had already dropped seven or eight corpses. Such a situation clearly indicated to Sun Wukong that there must be deceit at play from the Myriad Demons Country. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, listen to my command! Split into two teams: thirty people go down and assist the forces from the Ancient Primordial World and Canglan River Realm, quickly defeat the Myriad Demons Country. Be careful, the people from the Myriad Demons Country seem to possess immortal bodies. The other twenty, head over to the Myriad Demons Palace, swiftly defeat all Guardian Puppets and activate the World Suppressing Stele. Prepare yourselves, move out!"
No sooner had Sun Wukong's voice fallen than he guided the Fire Phoenix beneath him toward the fierce battle below. Following Wukong were Ye Zi, Ye Wu, Old Sha, the Dragon Emperor, Wu Ming, Hei Kui, Du Tianyang, Zhan Yunyi, Shang Sheng, Ming Wanjie, and another twenty-some strong warriors. Meanwhile, Ling Yi and the old Daoist Xuan Ling from the Fangcun Spirit Realm led their group towards the Myriad Demons Palace. Battling Guardian Puppets naturally didn't pose the same dangers as fighting the mighty warriors from the Myriad Demons Country, so twenty people would suffice.
At this point, the Flame God no longer intended to keep a low profile. In fact, being able to stay under the radar and get this far was a testament to his consideration for the bigger picture. Under the thirty people, the Fire Phoenix suddenly flashed with a dazzling red flame, causing a series of exclamations from the people fighting below. The visual impact was too powerful; anyone who was fighting fiercely with an enemy and suddenly saw such a remarkably dazzling group of uninvited guests appear in the sky would instantly have two thoughts.
The first thought would be that it was too flashy, and the second, friend or foe? Without giving them much time to guess, the Flame God riding atop the largest Fire Phoenix shouted loudly, "We are reinforcements from the Netherworld World and the Fangcun Spirit Realm, brothers, follow me and slay our enemies!" With that, the flames around his Fire Phoenix surged again, expanding from over a hundred meters to over a thousand meters, interweaving purple-gold and bright gold flames, making it appear like a true Fire Phoenix soaring above the sky.
Seeing the kilometer-long Fire Phoenix, Ye Zi and Ye Wu were suddenly taken aback. Ye Wu instinctively said to Ye Zi, "Brother, why does that phoenix look so familiar? It seems identical to the Fire Phoenix spirit you summoned!" Ye Zi was also somewhat dumbstruck. The Fire Phoenix spirit he had given to Ye Wu was one he had summoned himself using the Seven-Color Phoenix Calling Life-bound Skill. Thus, he was quite familiar with it, and rubbing his face with some excitement, he said, "Ye Wu, quick, release your Fire Phoenix; it's a match for the one in the sky!"
Ye Wu was taken aback but then he clasped his hands together in front of his chest and immediately made a sky-supporting gesture. A blinding red light then suddenly rose from his body, shooting straight into the Nine Heavens. When it reached the same height as the Flame God's kilometer-long Fire Phoenix, the red light exploded, and after emitting a loud and clear phoenix cry, another kilometer-long Fire Phoenix emerged reborn from the fire.
The Flame God, too, was stunned, looking at the Fire Phoenix beside him and exclaiming in surprise, "Good heavens, could this be a Fire Phoenix?"
The one he mounted, to be precise, was called a Flame Phoenix, but now it should be referred to as the Purple Flame Golden Phoenix. This was because the Flame God not only absorbed the Earth's Core Gold-Melting Flame from the old lair of the Underworld God Army but also once again devoured the Kirin Purple-Gold Fire from the impostor Fire Eye of the Myriad Demons Country. Hence, his phoenix was purple-gold colored.
"Flame God, Ye Wu, let them taste what is called a Sky Fire Meteor!"
Looking at the two kilometer-long Fire Phoenixes in the sky, Sun Wukong felt his chest swell with lofty pride! (To be continued.
