Capítulo 1270: Chapter 416: Ominous Sign
The crowd chuckled lightly, as expected of the Great Saint.
They relaxed and began scrutinizing Zibaiqing.
Faced with Zibaiqing’s honest and simple image, they felt curious.
Because they all knew what kind of person Zibaiqing was, a traitor of the Three Realms, and also a Heavenly Emperor.
Yet, his appearance was completely different from what they had imagined.
The Ancestral Dragon remained silent, just staring at Zibaiqing.
If anything were to happen, the Ancestral Dragon would be the first to block Zibaiqing.
With the Ancestral Dragon by his side, Sun Wukong was not overly fearful of Zibaiqing.
His expression remained calm, and he locked eyes with Zibaiqing, then said, “You can leave now; you’re not welcome here.”
Zibaiqing smiled faintly, not upset, and said in a deep voice, “Great Saint, I just have a question, are you not willing to answer me?”
“You’re mistaken, the Great Saint simply finds you repulsive.”
Lu Dongbin said with a light laugh.
Buzz.
An immense aura pressed towards Lu Dongbin, boundless and terrifying.
Lu Dongbin’s expression changed drastically, and he retreated, his face turning crimson-purple.
That Heavenly Emperor-level authority specifically targeted him, making it unbearable for Lu Dongbin.
Sun Wukong snorted coldly, releasing his own Qi, the Jingu Bang appeared directly in his hand, then he charged out of Huaguo Mountain, swinging it towards Zibaiqing.
Zibaiqing knew that Sun Wukong was rather unruly, but he didn’t expect him to be so violent.
Without a word, he made a move.
Zibaiqing dodged Sun Wukong’s strike, his eyes somewhat indifferent.
“Sun Wukong, don’t push me. I don’t want to become your enemy.”
Sun Wukong sneered disdainfully, “Don’t want to be enemies? We are already enemies.”
Considering the affiliation with the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Tian Hao, claiming not to want to be enemies was simply laughable.
They had already become enemies.
Since they were already enemies, was there any need to show mercy?
Zibaiqing was about to explode, but he took a deep breath, suppressing the urge, then stared at Sun Wukong and asked, “What happened to my father? Has he been resurrected?”
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked.
Now, everyone at Huaguo Mountain knew that Zibaiqing’s father was a mighty force in the Creation Realm, the Purple Emperor of a previous great world.
The Purple Emperor had already fallen at the end of the strongest Realm, besieged to death by enemies.
But now, Zibaiqing asked such a question.
Had Sun Wukong disappeared these days to resurrect the Purple Emperor?
They looked at Sun Wukong, deeply puzzled, but chose not to question him.
In the current situation, dealing with Zibaiqing was the priority.
Sun Wukong sneered, “You as a son, don’t even know if your father has been resurrected, how would Old Sun know? Old Sun isn’t your old man.”
Zibaiqing scrutinized Sun Wukong but couldn’t discern if he was telling the truth or lying.
He fell silent for a moment, refrained from getting angry, and chose not to leave, instead speaking somewhat earnestly, “Great Saint, you know that my father has made great contributions to all beings. If he has been resurrected, I wish to serve him, and I have something that can help him restore his power. Thus, the Three Realms would gain another great expert in the Creation Realm, wouldn’t it be delightful?”
“Oh, and what does that have to do with me?”
Sun Wukong retorted.
Zibaiqing was choked for a moment, his gaze turned dark as he stared at Sun Wukong, as if trying to see through him.
Unfazed, Sun Wukong stared back at Zibaiqing.
He raised the Jingu Bang in his hand, pointing at Zibaiqing, ready to strike at any moment.
Zibaiqing’s gaze became somber, the simple and honest look vanished, replaced with cold eyes staring at Sun Wukong, seemingly contemplating something.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the Ancestral Dragon flew over to stand alongside Sun Wukong.
He was ready for a great battle, prepared to fight a Heavenly Emperor-level expert at any moment.
Zibaiqing remained silent for a long time before finally turning and leaving.
He didn’t want to face Sun Wukong alone, as he wasn’t confident in defeating both Sun Wukong and the Ancestral Dragon.
Sun Wukong’s prowess had increased tremendously, becoming incredibly formidable.
The Ancestral Dragon exhaled softly, lamenting, “Heavenly Emperors are truly terrifying, I’m still a bit short of entering that domain, yet compared to true Heavenly Emperor experts, it feels like we’re worlds apart.”
Sun Wukong nodded, realizing the stronger he became, the more terrifying the Heavenly Emperors felt.
Even if he and the Ancestral Dragon joined forces, at most they could severely injure a Heavenly Emperor-level expert.
Sun Wukong thanked the Ancestral Dragon, fully aware that without him, Huaguo Mountain wouldn’t be so peaceful.
Because of the Ancestral Dragon, even the Heavenly Emperor-level experts dared not easily wage war against Huaguo Mountain.
Now Huaguo Mountain and the Dragon Clan were essentially one.
“Have you still not reached the Heavenly Emperor Level, Senior?”
Sun Wukong asked.
Despite the Ancestral Dragon’s prowess and talent, even he was stuck outside the Heavenly Emperor Level, stronger than the Creation Realm, stepping into it was incredibly difficult.
The Ancestral Dragon sighed, somewhat frustrated, “The Heavenly Emperor Realm isn’t far off for me, stepping into it doesn’t count for much, but having been killed in the Primordial era, I wasted too much time. Starting again from the moment of my death, had I lived on, I’d definitely be among the ranks of the Heavenly Emperors by now.”
He never doubted his talent.
Advancing to the Heavenly Emperor Level was just a matter of time.
“Oh, how I wish I could borrow another hundred thousand years from the heavens, then what would I fear of Zibaiqing or the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi? I’d be able to contend with them all.”
He lamented.
For a strong individual like him, a hundred thousand years was not a long time, mere blink of an eye.
But in the current situation of the Three Realms, they might not even have that much time.
Becoming a Heavenly Emperor expert was the only way to have the power to control one’s destiny in such circumstances.
Sun Wukong too wanted to say, if only he’d been born ten thousand years earlier, he’d fear none?
Becoming a Heavenly Emperor expert, even the Creation Realm could be matched against.
Unfortunately, it was beyond his control.
“Take it slow, we still have plenty of time.”
Sun Wukong said.
“But that Purple Emperor is Zibaiqing’s father, a Creation Realm expert from a previous world, and now that he’s appeared, how much longer do you think we have? It’s an omen indicating a great catastrophe is approaching.”
The Ancestral Dragon said flatly.
Sun Wukong was a bit taken aback, how could the Ancestral Dragon be so sure?
“In every chaotic era, there are omens. You’re still young and can’t sense it, but we older ones can, there’s a presence of great disaster approaching, making our bodies tense and warning of danger deep in our souls, urging us to improve ourselves, even flee.”
The Ancestral Dragon’s expression was grave.
Sun Wukong was astonished, could there really be such signs?
He hadn’t sensed it, but he believed the Ancestral Dragon.
The lack of sensing was because his Realm wasn’t high enough.
