Chapter 65 Battling Stone Gate Pass in Fury (1/2)

During the Ancient Era, a couple had died here. They perished for the sake of humankind; demons from the Primordial Age had appeared on Earth again. All of the practitioners of the world gathered to withstand the onslaught of the demons, and the Earth was consumed by war at that time. The demons were much stronger than an average practitioner, and many of them were even more powerful than the geniuses in the mortal world.

This was only a spot out of the thousands of battlefields on Earth, and a terribly brutal battle had been waged here. Thousands of demons had infiltrated this region in a bid to destroy the Buddhist sect that resided on Ermei Mountain. Arhats, Bodhisattvas and Devarajas appeared to engage the demons, but the forces of evil were too huge and powerful. It was a one-sided battle, and the corpses of the buddhists were soon strewn all over the mountain.

Even the physical manifestation of the ancient Buddha was forced to intervene, but it could also not help much. Whatever technique it used was nullified, and when the manifestation was defeated, the buddhists knelt down and chanted the name of Buddha himself as they knelt, their eyes filled with despair.

”Roar!”

At this instant, a huge roar shook the Heavens, and a golden flash shot upward, revealing a figure wielding a long golden staff that stood before Ermei Mountain. It was a divine monkey, and its golden fur was even more piercing than sunlight, causing it to look as if it had been casted from gold.

Beside him was a nine-tailed fox, and both of them faced the demons on their own. They looked back at the kneeling buddhists before turning back to glare angrily at the demonic horde.

The divine monkey pointed its staff at its opponents and chided them angrily, ”How dare you infiltrate China? I'll have your lives for this!!”

He swung his staff forward, and it grew hundreds of kilometers long and about five kilometers wide instantly. It swept toward the demons with the might of the monkey's fury, and hundreds of demons were crushed to death. All of the demons began to fear for their lives, as they knew he was a god built for killing. They kept their guard up and activated 1000 of their strongest companions to get rid of him.

The divine monkey was completely unafraid and shot upward with staff in hand, streaking across the skies like a gold shooting star. The instant he came into contact with his opponents, dozens of them became seriously wounded. Both sides then engaged in combat, while the remaining demons charged toward the nine-tailed fox. The two deities' level of cultivation was extremely high, but they could not handle so many demons at the same time. Furthermore, the demons were much stronger than the practitioners of this land.

The divine monkey and nine-tailed fox were immensely powerful, but they were still a small step away from turning immortal. Soon, they were outnumbered, but they managed to kill all of the demons before they perished. The divine monkey delivered a child into Stone Gate Pass, but when it dragged its broken body back to the battlefield, it realized that the nine-tailed fox had already perished.

She had transformed into a lake after death, and her bones nourished back the charred land to life. The divine monkey roared in frustration and wanted to dash over, but its lower limbs crumbled just after it had taken one step. His body began to crumble, and he seemed to be grabbing something, but eventually his good hand was also shattered.

His ashes also turned into a pool of water, and he used his powers of Tao to bury his broken heart in the ground with his last breath. Later, the spot where they died were filled with azaleas- the favorite flower of the nine-tailed fox. The divine monkey had remembered that she told him once that she wished to see azaleas blooming wherever she went.

These two heroes who saved humankind had died so tragically, but what made Wang Bugui truly angry was not that they could not be buried together, but because someone had emerged to tamper with the Stone Gate Pass. The divine monkey had sent their child into the pass because he wanted his child to absorb the aura of this naturally advantageous land and grow well.

Not only did that person stop their child from growing well, he or she had trapped the child in the pass until now. The person had left a spirit of the array behind, and it had been absorbing the life force of anyone who chanced upon the pass to bolster the strength of the seal on the pass. What the locals called 'the green mist of the Mountain Gods' was actually the doing of this spirit. As Wang Bugui thought about the heroic and tragic sacrifice of the divine beasts, his body was filled with rage.

They should have been heroes to all humankind, but yet their offspring was being treated in such a bad manner. This was lamentable and tragic! Wang Bugui used his powers of Tao to seal off the entire Wang Bugui and charged angrily toward Stone Gate Pass. His speed was so great that he reached the spot within seconds.

He then released an insane amount of blood vigor, and his body was covered in a crystalline golden glow. As he leaped up into the air, there was a huge booming sound. ”Appear before me, spirit of the array! Your death is near!” he shouted angrily.

”Boom!”

The spirit knew that the youth was here to look for trouble, and it did not hesitate to attack. A green ray shot toward Wang Bugui, but he smashed it into bits with a blow of his Break Heaven Fist. Dozens of green rays followed closely behind, and he dodged the first two by leaping backward. He cocked his body sideways and leaped into the air again to dodge a few more rays of energy, before kicking another of those strange lights. He made use of the momentum to leap up into the sky before charging down again with a Meteorite Kick.

Booming sounds were created as all of the green rays of energy were destroyed. The spirit summoned hundreds of lost souls to engage his opponent, but Wang Bugui sent them back to the Underworld with his Kick of the Universe; they did not last even two seconds. The youth moved first and blocked the exit of the spirit, and he realized that it was actually a green scaly dragon.

”Don't force my hand, human. Even though you possess power of the Void Returning Realm, don't think that I'll be afraid of you. Leaving now will be beneficial to both of us!” the dragon threatened.

Wang Bugui observed that the person who had created the magical seal was obviously very skilled in Tao. The spirit had existed for a long time, but it could still manifest itself as a dragon, and it was even a few realms stronger than him. This did not mean that he was afraid of it, however. He pointed at its head before proclaiming proudly, ”You're already quaking before we've fought. Why don't you crawl over to me and beg for death!”

”Fine, fine, fine! I'll definitely be drinking your blood and feasting on your flesh today!” the dragon replied angrily, irritated at having been threatened by a small kid. It opened its mouth wide and shot out toward Wang Bugui.

The youth surrounded his limbs with blood prana power and swung his fists at his opponent. They came into contact in a split second, and the dragon released several green bolts of energy from its mouth. Wang Bugui shattered them with one blow of his Break Heaven Fist before dodging sideway to escape being bitten. The dragon followed closely behind, however, and swept its body at him. He crossed his hands together to block the blow, but was sent hurtling backward.
