Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 509 - 491 Xi Zhao’s Backup Plan
The Immortal Fire Phoenix Flame God, that was not merely a boast of his. Of course, he didn't possess this undying ability before; otherwise, he wouldn't have been slain and his soul and essence wouldn't have descended to the Netherworld. But as the saying goes, disaster is the flip side of fortune and fortune, the hidden side of disaster. Precisely because Flame God's soul arrived in the Netherworld did he get to meet Sun Wukong, hence a series of events unfolded thereafter. After a series of fortuitous encounters, he not only fully comprehended the true mysteries of the Burst Phoenix Clan but also acquired the ability of the Immortal Phoenix.
This ability had long been in Flame God's possession. When he first encountered that group of robbers, Flame God actually already possessed the ability of an Immortal Body. However, back then, the Immortal Body was incomplete and required a medium, which was the leader of that group. By leaving a phoenix tattoo on that person, Flame God established a certain connection between that person's Soul Body and his own, allowing Flame God's soul to transfer any damage it suffered to that person's soul.
However, this method only pertained to the soul. At that time, Flame God didn't believe he would so quickly possess a physical body in the future. Later on, after being resurrected with a body specifically prepared for him by Yue Huangquan, in order to maintain his ability to use the Immortal Body, Flame God had continuously refined his physical body with the Phoenix Karma Fire, which was his birth name, intending to transform his body into a pure Energy Body.
Yet, this method was exceedingly difficult. Although the Spiritual Power in the Patrolling Celestial World was much more abundant than in other worlds, Flame God hadn't made much progress in this time, until during the last unintended visit by Dao Zhun to the lair of the Underworld God Army. Flame God discovered the eye of the Earth's Core Gold-Melting Flame and a terrifying thought sprouted in his mind, which quickly spiraled out of control. Ultimately, he decided to use the Earth's Core Gold-Melting Flame to thoroughly refine his body. Of course, this carried significant risks—if Flame God failed to withstand it, he would be reduced to nothingness by the Earth's Core Gold-Melting Flame, not even ashes remaining.
But Flame God ultimately succeeded, completely transforming his physical body into a pure Energy Body. Not only did Flame God's strength greatly increase, but after absorbing the Earth's Core Gold-Melting Flame, he also gained the ability of an undying physical body. As long as the flames did not extinguish, Flame God would not perish.
So now, Flame God had thoroughly become the Immortal Fire Phoenix; both body and soul were undying. Moreover, the person who led the Netherworld, although his soul had been severely damaged, could still recover by absorbing other souls as long as it was not completely dispersed in the Netherworld World. And with that phoenix tattoo, it would be much easier for that person to increase his strength.
Later on, in the sham Myriad Demons Palace, Flame God once again demonstrated his enviable luck and absorbed the Kirin Purple-Gold Fire left by the Purple Kirin Ling Weiyang, further increasing Flame God's strength. Even though the enhanced Flame God was still instantly obliterated by the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, he successfully resurrected amidst fiery rebirth. As purple-gold and bright-gold flames burned on his body, the massive wound on Flame God's chest was visibly healing at a rapid pace.
Originally, after learning of Xi Zhao's betrayal against the Netherworld, Flame God was so resentful he itched to act, and now Xi Zhao had used the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon to bomb him to death— a true grudge of a lethal nature. What's more, Xi Zhao had turned out to be a member of the Myriad Demons Country. These new grievances and old hatreds combined were enough for Flame God to resolve to kill.
Watching Xi Zhao being beaten into a sorry state by Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the others, the murderous intent in Flame God's heart did not diminish in the slightest. "Xi Zhao, this was originally the Ultimate Move I had reserved for the Hidden Realm, but today I'll test its power on you. I hope you won't disappoint me," he said. The wound on Flame God's chest had fully recovered. He stood up, stretched his body, and instead of preparing to attack immediately, Flame God quickly walked over to Sun Wukong's side.

Sun Wukong had already noticed the Flame God, patted his shoulder, and asked, "How's it? Enjoying yourself?" The Flame God chuckled and said, "If that's just seventy percent of the power of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, then I think, even at full power, it still couldn't take me down. How's Master Dao Zhun? Is he alright?" Sun Wukong turned his head and looked at Xi Zhao, who was getting more disheveled and was already injured in many places, "The first shot of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon must have been a type of sound wave. It shook all the internal organs and meridians out of place in Master Dao Zhun's body, but now, there shouldn't be a big problem, with Ye Zi here, he'll recover quickly."
The Flame God nodded, visibly relieved. After that first strike of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, Xi Zhao felt something was wrong; scared that Xi Zhao would use the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon to continue attacking Dao Zhun, the Flame God immediately stood forward to draw Xi Zhao's attack. Sure enough, the second strike of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon was aimed directly at the Flame God, who, as expected, was killed on the spot.
"Monkey, can I kill Xi Zhao here?" Sun Wukong was taken aback, not expecting Xi Zhao to say something like that. Looking at Xi Zhao and then at the Flame God, Sun Wukong said, "Do you really need to kill him?" The Flame God nodded resolutely, "He showed me no mercy at all. In the past, he even took advantage of me and secretly hid the World Suppressing Stele; plus, he's from the Myriad Demons Country, for either of those reasons, I have to kill him. Perhaps the revenge against the Hidden Realm and the Myriad Demons Country should start here."
Sun Wukong heaved a sigh and asked, "Are you sure?" The Flame God nodded again and said, "I have an ultimate move that I've been preparing for a long time; I was planning to use it against the Hidden Realm, but now I need to prove my years of effort with Xi Zhao's blood." Sun Wukong frowned slightly; in fact, he wasn't keen on killing Xi Zhao right there and then. With the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent unavailable and Xi Zhao's spiritual power greatly depleted, all Sun Wukong needed to do was to let the remaining people gang up on him, and Xi Zhao would be doomed today. Though Sun Wukong was curious why Xi Zhao had not yet drawn his weapon, facing so many powerful adversaries even in his prime would be certain death. Besides, Sun Wukong had promised to spare Xi Zhao four times if they ever crossed swords in the future.
However, feeling the Flame God's determination, Sun Wukong couldn't refuse his request. "Do you need my help with anything?" The Flame God looked at Sun Wukong gratefully and said; "I need the movement of the Flame God to be restricted for one second, just one second, and I can make him truly dead." Sun Wukong nodded; kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Though he didn't want to kill Xi Zhao, he didn't want to chill the heart of the Flame God either.
He nodded and didn't say anything more. But during this brief moment, Sun Wukong glanced at Zhibei, who was undergoing the fusion of his flesh and soul, noting he had completely integrated. Now, the first-generation Zhibei in the spear used his soul power to merge bit by bit with Zhibei's soul. The old man seemed to sense Sun Wukong's gaze and the confusion in it, suddenly transmitting a message: "My wayward disciple has embarked on this evil path, and I bear responsibility for it. However, in the future, he won't anymore. I am currently using the remnants of my soul to erase parts of his memory and altering some of it. The Zhibei of this generation will completely lose all his combat capabilities. I hope you can forgive him."
Sun Wukong did not respond nor say anything, merely giving a slight nod before turning his attention back to Xi Zhao. After receiving Sun Wukong's firm answer, the Flame God took a deep breath and then his left hand hung down while his right hand pointed to the sky like a sword. Suddenly, countless fist-sized, resplendent Fire Phoenixes appeared around the Flame God, spinning.
At the same time, as Xi Zhao resisted the attack from Rogue Heart Sword Hero and a few others, he cast a sharp look towards the Flame God, seemingly sensing the attack that Flame God was preparing. Xi Zhao's face changed dramatically, yet he showed no sign of backing down, though his eyes betrayed a deep anxiety. What Xi Zhao needed now, was time.
Just as Xi Zhao was debating whether to retreat temporarily, his expression suddenly brightened – the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent had finally resurrected. After waiting for so long, the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent was alive again. With that being the case, it was time for the second plan to be put into action. (To be continued.
