Great Demon Sun Wukong

Ye Xingchen was the leader of the Nine Kirin, Ling Weiyang's greatest trump card, and there was naturally something extraordinary about him. One of his outstanding abilities was his calm judgment of situations and his knack for making the right choice under extreme pressure. When he saw the newcomers, he did not assume that they were there to kill the Hidden Realm merely because Rogue Heart Sword Hero was among them, nor did he think they had come to the rescue simply because Wan Jun was present. Furthermore, both Flame God and Hei Kui gave him a dangerously intense impression.

The original intent of Rogue Heart Sword Hero and his companions was to take advantage of the civil strife within the Myriad Demons Country to stir up even more chaos in the already muddied waters. However, as soon as they stepped into the Myriad Demons Country, before getting a clear picture of the situation, they encountered the Hidden Realm. At that moment, the Hidden Realm was nothing but the physical body of Ancestor Demon. Faced with this entity, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the others were momentarily unsure of how to proceed. Both Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Flame God hailed from the Netherworld World and thus possessed a superior perception of souls compared to normal people. To them, the soul aura of the person before them was undoubtedly that of the Hidden Realm.

But, this individual looked nothing like the Hidden Realm; the actual form of the Hidden Realm of the Myriad Demons Country was well-known to be a monkey. Although Flame God had never personally seen the Hidden Realm, the creature before them could hardly be considered a monkey. Rogue Heart Sword Hero turned to Flame God, asking, "What should we do? Can we be sure?" Flame God shook his head but then quickly added, "The soul aura is definitely the Hidden Realm's. Even if this person is not the Hidden Realm, there is definitely a connection. Better to err in killing than to let go. Let's attack!"

Flame God's thoughts were straightforward: they were in the Myriad Demons Country, and if the soul aura of this person matched that of the Hidden Realm, then why bother with identities—better to kill first and ask questions later. At Flame God's command, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Wan Jun moved from left to right, closing in on the Hidden Realm. In Rogue Heart Sword Hero's hands, the Light Dragon Abyss was a Domain Instrument; its power was naturally incredibly formidable. Even though Wan Jun no longer possessed a Domain Instrument, he still wielded a rather impressive longsword. The two of them acted simultaneously, and their attack coordination was perfect. Rogue Heart Sword Hero, slightly faster, aimed a slash at the waist of the Hidden Realm.

To Rogue Heart Sword Hero's surprise, the Hidden Realm did not dodge but instead bent its arm, and its palm, with sharp claws, caught Rogue Heart Sword Hero by the wrist as he held the Light Dragon Abyss. Rogue Heart Sword Hero was shocked—could the Hidden Realm be at the Heavenly Venerate realm? But his earlier perception had indicated that the Hidden Realm was only at the Domain Lord Peak. It seemed that the Hidden Realm was not so simple; its ability to conceal its cultivation was very crafty. Misjudging the situation, Rogue Heart Sword Hero's sword failed to harm the Hidden Realm, but instead, his wrist was caught. And then the Hidden Realm delivered a knee strike to Rogue Heart Sword Hero's abdomen.

The Hidden Realm had used almost all its strength in that strike, making Rogue Heart Sword Hero feel as if all his internal organs were shattered. The severe pain caused him to cough up a large quantity of fresh blood and damaged internal organs with each breath. However, a Sword Hero was still a Sword Hero. Despite having misjudged the Hidden Realm's strength and sustaining serious injuries, as he was sent flying back by the powerful blow, Rogue Heart Sword Hero managed to slip the Domain Instrument, the Holy Buddha Bracelet made from a mammoth tusk, onto the Hidden Realm's body.

As the bracelet was secured, Rogue Heart Sword Hero was sent flying, but as he did, he activated the bracelet to tighten suddenly, binding the Hidden Realm. Not finished yet, Rogue Heart Sword Hero adjusted his body mid-air with difficulty and then tossed the Light Dragon Abyss to Wan Jun. "Junior brother, use this, cut off his legs!" Although the longsword in Wan Jun's hand was also a divine weapon, compared to the Domain Instrument it was significantly inferior. To ensure an effective attack, it was still safer to use the Domain Instrument.

Wan Jun reacted swiftly, throwing his longsword toward the Hidden Realm now bound by the Holy Buddha Bangle, then twisting in the air to grasp the Light Dragon Abyss. As the Hidden Realm was bound, dodging the incoming longsword with a roll, it attempted to rise, only to have countless Buddhist Incantations burst from the bracelet, the gold inscriptions penetrating the Hidden Realm's body. In that instant, the Hidden Realm lost control of its body.

In that brief moment, Wan Jun, holding the Light Dragon Abyss, reached the Hidden Realm's side, his longsword slashing across without hesitation. Blood sprayed, and the Hidden Realm let out a mournful cry. But before the Hidden Realm's cry could end, Hei Kui descended from the sky. Right now, Hei Kui's right hand was clawed with Vital Energy swirling around it, sometimes revealing ferocious ghostly faces. The moment Hei Kui landed, his hand was already on the Hidden Realm's head, and with a squeeze followed by a downward press, five bloody holes appeared on the top of the Hidden Realm's head, crushing it against the ground.

At this moment, the Flame God's attack finally arrived. A dark red line of fire, no thicker than a finger, shot out from the Flame God's forehead, who was suspended in mid-air, and directly pierced through the heart of the Hidden Realm. Immediately after, Hei Kui and Wan Jun swiftly withdrew, and the moment they left, a pillar of fire erupted from the body of the Hidden Realm. The flames of the pillar looked no different from ordinary fire, but as the pillar rose, the Hidden Realm's physical body began to burn. The Hidden Realm's physical body was that of the Ancestor Demon, the progenitor of all the Demon Clan, the first demon to exist in this universe after it was created by the Pioneer. Its physical strength had long reached the point where it was indestructible.

Therefore, after the death of the Ancestor Demon, while the soul dissipated, the physical body remained undecayed in the Fallen Tomb for ten thousand years. However, now, this formidable body that even the Hidden Realm had forsaken in favor of one with the Pioneer's bloodline, was gradually turning into ash in the blazing flames. The screams of the Hidden Realm were like a million evil spirits wailing at once; even a few notes were enough to send shivers down one's spine. At this time, the Flame God's body gradually descended, and as soon as he touched the ground, he immediately shouted to Rogue Heart Sword Hero, "Withdraw your Domain Instrument, fast!"

By then, Rogue Heart Sword Hero had already been brought over by Wan Jun, and hearing Flame God's command, he didn't dare to hesitate. With a flick of his Magical Decrees, the Holy Buddha Bracelet that bound the Hidden Realm flew out from the pillar of fire. Although Flame God had controlled the fire pillar to avoid scorching the bracelet, the Holy Buddha Bracelet was still boiling hot. So, instead of retrieving it directly, Rogue Heart Sword Hero let it float in front of him to wait for the bracelet to cool down. At this moment, Flame God moved next to Rogue Heart Sword Hero, placed his sword fingers together, and with a swipe to his right palm, he made a not-too-deep cut. Blood seeped out, and he had already grasped the scorching Holy Buddha Bracelet in his hand.

"Flame God, you..." Before Rogue Heart Sword Hero could finish his question, the Flame God said, "It's nothing, just helping you cool down this Domain Instrument, otherwise, if it cooled down on its own, it might damage it. Also, thanks to the two of you for taking action, allowing me to exact such great vengeance." After speaking, Flame God loosened his right hand, and although he quickly hid his right hand behind him, Rogue Heart Sword Hero still saw that the palm of Flame God's right hand was charred and bleeding. Although Flame God could control flames, it didn't mean his flesh was immune to all flames; at least he could still be burned by the boiling Holy Buddha Bracelet.

Rogue Heart Sword Hero wanted to say something, but the words turned into a sigh. Just then, Hei Kui suddenly exclaimed, "Sword Hero, Flame God, watch out!" Hei Kui's voice was loud, and Rogue Heart Sword Hero, Wan Jun, and Flame God quickly looked up, just in time to see the now fiery figure of the Hidden Realm charging at them, evidently planning to perish together with Flame God and the others after realizing that the flames could destroy his body. However, Flame God snorted coldly, and with a stomp, an image of a ten-meter-wingspan Fire Phoenix rose around the Hidden Realm. It suddenly appeared beneath the Hidden Realm's feet and enveloped him within.

"Burst, enemy of my Burst Phoenix Clan!" With a sigh that was also a prayer, as Flame God spoke, the Hidden Realm's body running towards them suddenly swelled and then exploded with a loud bang. However, the blood and flames scattered by the explosion were all blocked by the image of the Fire Phoenix, and not a trace leaked out. The Fire Phoenix's flames quickly brightened, turning into a golden color. The Earth's Core Gold-Melting Flame, smelting all things in the world.

The Myriad Demon King, the Domain Lord of the Myriad Demons Country, was burnt to nothingness, leaving behind neither a Remnant Soul nor flesh, completely vanishing from the world. And Flame God, then turned solemnly towards the south, and knelt down deeply, tears streaming from his eyes.

Father, Mother, Ancestors, your unfilial son, Flame God, has finally avenged you. But this is just the beginning.

Just now, Flame God had confirmed that this person was indeed the Hidden Realm because, after the Hidden Realm was burned to nothingness, the Netherworld World's World Suppressing Stele, Demon Transcending Number Six, remained there.
