Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 521 - 439: Amazing Discovery
The pit formed by the eye sockets of Underworld Venerate's skull indeed seemed bottomless. Dao Zhun had been flying downward for three Chinese Hours and still hadn't reached the bottom. However, the destructive will in the atmosphere became increasingly intense. Even Dao Zhun felt extremely uneasy, as the aura of destruction was like invisible snakes roaming in the air, all trying to burrow into his body through his 36,000 pores. As a result, Dao Zhun had to constantly circulate his spatial attribute spiritual power to block the invasion of that destructive power.
When Dao Zhun had been flying downward for a quarter of a Chinese Hour, his surroundings had turned into complete darkness, with only the light from the entrance behind him shining like a luminous pearl. After three Chinese Hours, Dao Zhun didn't even know how far he had flown, only feeling that the oppressive power of destruction was becoming as substantial as if he were struggling through a quagmire.
Another three Chinese Hours passed, and just when Dao Zhun was about to give up, a faint light suddenly appeared in the unending darkness, startling his senses. If he continued to descend in this absolute darkness with no end in sight, Dao Zhun might have given up, for he had other important matters to attend to. Although he had convinced himself to descend and investigate, he couldn't accept this aimless descent without knowing its purpose.
After that glimmer of light appeared, the brightness Dao Zhun could perceive grew stronger and the air got hotter. Could it be that he had reached the Earth's Core of the Patrolling Celestial World? Impossible, considering the huge size of the Patrolling Celestial World, it wasn't possible to reach its core even if he flew for a day and a night. However, the unique heat of the magma around him was undoubtedly indicative of the Earth's Core.
Another quarter of a Chinese Hour passed, and Dao Zhun finally came to a halt. He moved his hands in the gestures of Magical Decrees and slowly concealed himself into the void, because he had sensed the presence of living beings below, and for caution, he had to conceal his form. Considering the unclear situation, it was naturally better to investigate carefully from the darkness. After concealing himself, Dao Zhun didn't continue flying straight down in the center of the pit but instead flew to the side of the pit wall and began to descend slowly while leaning against it.
By then, the fiery light below had become increasingly bright, nearly as clear as daylight, and the concentration of fire elements in the air had reached a remarkable degree. Dao Zhun even discovered that several fire attribute Spirit Stones had formed on the wall of the pit, and the quality was quite good. Carefully hiding his form, Dao Zhun continued to descend until he came to a stop again because he had run out of space to descend.
Indeed, below Dao Zhun was a lake of magma, boiling and emitting intense heat. Was this the bottom? That didn't seem right. He had clearly sensed the soul aura of living beings previously, but how could he have reached the bottom now? Moreover, given the size of the Patrolling Celestial World, how could there be magma here? This place wasn't a volcano, and indeed, something was amiss. As the saying goes, there is a demon behind abnormal occurrences, and Dao Zhun was well aware of this. After calming down, he realized that the rolling magma was nothing more than a blinding trick.
It might have been designed to prevent anyone from discovering the secrets deeper below, or perhaps it was due to the effects of a realm. In any case, the magma that appeared to be real was only a layer. Dao Zhun could distinctly feel that there was a vast space beneath the magma. If it were someone else, they would probably either break through by force or try to dig through the pit wall to see if they could circumvent it. However, for Dao Zhun, that was all too simple. With one step forward and the second step retracted, Dao Zhun had already appeared behind the layer of magma.
Then, Dao Zhun was dumbstruck, gazing down at everything below, he simply hung there in midair. With Dao Zhun's identity, perspective, and experience, there was little left in the world that could astonish him to such an extent. Being a survivor of the great battle that occurred a million years ago, Dao Zhun had experienced the most tumultuous events in the world, and his resolve was certainly unmatched by ordinary people. Yet even so, when he saw everything below, Dao Zhun was still astounded.
What he saw, if one must describe it, looked like an enormous weapon factory. But what made Dao Zhun freeze was not the weapon factory itself, but the presence of a person he knew very well down in this deep place millions of miles beneath — Underworld Venerate!
Yes, it was Underworld Venerate, the same one who had been split into nine by Dao Zhun wielding the Formless Divine Sword and who had been sealed within the Sealing Stone along with the Pioneer. Now, Underworld Venerate was undeniably appearing before his eyes. But the Underworld Venerate he saw now, compared to the one a million years ago, had significant differences. The most apparent was the disparity in size. When Underworld Venerate had fought with the Pioneer in his original form, he was a giant who could tread on the sun and moon and wield the stars; their battle had occurred in the Endless Void.
Not to mention the Chaotic Giant Clan, even the current Patrolling Celestial World, this planet compared to the Underworld Venerate, is like a chicken egg in the hands of an adult. As you can imagine, how gigantic the bodies of the Underworld Venerate and the Pioneer must be. The Underworld Venerate that Dao Zhun is seeing right now is roughly over ten thousand meters tall. Of course, this is just an estimate by Dao Zhun since at this moment the Underworld Venerate is sitting cross-legged on the ground at the deepest part of the cave, making it impossible to accurately determine the specific height. But just the upper body of the Underworld Venerate is three to four thousand meters tall, so the overall height is almost around ten thousand meters.
Although compared to the original Underworld Venerate, this one's stature could not compare in size, this height and figure in the current world would still be considered absolutely gigantic. A height of ten thousand meters, probably only the Chaotic Giant Clan or some innately gigantic Divine Beasts could compare with it.
In the Cultivation World, or to say, in this realm of the universe, it is not that the bigger the size, the stronger the entity. However, those who are gigantic in stature and also cultivate to the ultimate level are truly terrifying. The larger the size, the worse the talent, and a large stature often means slower speed in battle, which is actually a disadvantage. However, this is not absolute. Those who are naturally gigantic but have excellent talent and astonishing potential, once they cultivate to a certain level, they become practically invincible among their peers.
Of course, even a Daluo Golden Immortal level cultivator of a minor world can transform themselves into a giant tens of thousands of meters tall, let alone those whose strength is at the level of Dao Patterns or even Nine Patterns Supreme. There is, however, a fundamental difference among them. For example, when Sun Wukong transformed into the Heaven-Supporting Giant Ape, he would be fifty meters tall, as compared to his opponent who would be just over two meters tall if they were an ordinary person. Of course, his opponent could also use Divine Skills and Spells to make themselves fifty meters or even taller, but that would be meaningless.
If one doesn't naturally possess such a height, even if one transforms into that stature, their strength will not increase and might even decrease. The ten-thousand-meter-tall Underworld Venerate that Dao Zhun is seeing now, if its combat power surpasses Dao Zhun's, even if Dao Zhun transforms to a height of ten thousand meters, he would still be unable to win, and would definitely be defeated even faster.

On the body of this Underworld Venerate, Dao Zhun could see that there were still many members of the Underworld God Army busy at work, and it could be seen that the lower half of this sitting Underworld Venerate was already fully dressed, with a battle skirt, kneecaps, and war boots, while the upper body was still bare. On the other side of this huge subterranean space, there was a gigantic smelting furnace, which was over a thousand meters large. Next to the smelting furnace, there were two areas: one was filled with mountains of various ores and metals, which, judging by the spiritual power and color glinting from them, were definitely all precious and of supreme rank.
In another area, there were many complete sets of new armor and weapons, all of which were laid out neatly. Just when Dao Zhun was about to shift his focus back to the sitting figure, he suddenly noticed that behind the neatly arranged armor on the wall, there was a very large space, except there was no light in that space; hence Dao Zhun had not noticed it at first glance. Upon closer inspection, in that equally gigantic space, there was half a set of armor, and it was terribly large in size.
Seeing this, Dao Zhun understood completely. It didn't need guessing to know that this big pit was being used by the Underworld God Army as an armory, utilizing the heat from the magma at the Earth's Core of the Patrolling Celestial World to smelt ores, refine metals and then manufacture weapons and armor. In addition, they were also forging a super-gigantic set of armor for the ten-thousand-meter-tall figure. Judging by its appearance, the lower body was already finished, and the chest armor and helmet of the upper body were still incomplete.
Moreover, Dao Zhun could tell from the quality and grade of the fire attribute Spirit Stones on the surrounding cave walls that this big pit must have existed for almost one hundred thousand years, which means the Underworld God Army had been operating here for at least one hundred thousand years. And in one hundred thousand years, they had only crafted two-thirds of the armor for the Underworld Venerate. What does that imply? It implies that the armor of the Underworld Venerate is absolutely terrifying.
Using a somewhat vulgar metaphor, it's like a pit; if you dumped excrement into it for one hundred thousand years, it would surely drown a large area, let alone forging a set of armor for one hundred thousand years?
Moreover, what shocked Dao Zhun was that the sitting Underworld Venerate, to his senses, seemed to not be dead, but rather, still alive! (To be continued.
