Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 521 Monkey King Confronts the Abyss Demon Lord
"Huh?" The Sky Emperor Spirit exclaimed in surprise, "Even your authority has been alarmed?"

"This...this...how is this possible?" The Abyss Demon Lord's face turned ashen. "He actually bypassed my authority!"

At this moment, the Azure Tree King seemed to sense something as well. "Hiss~ The aura of the heavens seems to have fallen into unease and restlessness. How could this be?"

"Damn it, what on earth is that kid Wu Xian doing?" the Abyss Demon Lord exclaimed in frustration.

Canghai Zhiya frowned and analyzed, "Judging from their conversation just now, those files seem to record the life, death, and lifespan of all living beings. Could it be that the monkey's alterations directly affected the weight of life and death in the world?"

Upon hearing this, the four True Gods all gasped in shock.

The Abyss Demon Lord's expression shifted between light and dark. He immediately sat cross-legged in mid-air and began to experience his power of the Law of Death.

He thought he could stop all of this, but after actually trying, he realized that the chaos of the laws of life and death was far beyond his control.

Even if he tries his best, he can only salvage the situation slightly.

Just... outrageous!
The good news is that the consequences and impacts caused by this chaos in the laws were mostly borne by "Heaven," and he didn't suffer much from it.

But even a small impact at this level is unacceptable to him.

Since attaining enlightenment, I have worked diligently for so long, and finally managed to organize the order related to the authority of death to this extent.

Now, thanks to Wu Xian's actions, all the work he had done in the previous two months has been wasted.

Of course, compared to him, "Heaven" must be even more disgusting.

But that doesn't mean he can accept this loss.

"That wretched Wu Xian, is he only targeting me to disgust me?!" The Abyss Demon Lord opened his eyes and cursed, ready to confront Wu Xian on the spot.

However, compared to this loss, what concerned him more was the power of the Book of Life and Death in the underworld.

In terms of authority over the laws of heaven and earth, it seems to be even higher than his.

No, it seems that it's not simply a matter of higher authority, but rather a higher "priority" in terms of sequence.

Meanwhile, in the Yama King's Palace...

While Monkey King was causing trouble, Wu Xian and the God of Wealth also took advantage of the chaos to make some money, quickly modifying the records in the Book of Life and Death and settling accounts.

Normally, altering the records in the Book of Life and Death would come at various costs and with backlash.

The amazing thing is that at this moment, the Book of Life and Death was under attack by Monkey King, and the Book of Life and Death automatically activated "administrator" privileges and entered emergency maintenance mode.

In this mode, all modifications have no backlash, and all backlash and costs will be attributed to Monkey King.

"I see." Wu Xian chuckled to himself.

No wonder those people in the underworld were so cooperative back then; now I know why.

After secretly altering the files of their relatives, friends, and club members, they turned their attention to the files of the Zhao family and their associates.

After making some changes, I became inexplicably addicted.

However, Monkey King seemed to sense something, and a hint of discomfort appeared on his face. He quickly gave Wu Xian a meaningful look with his eyes.

Wu Xian was slightly taken aback. What did that mean? The backlash was too great; even Monkey King was having trouble handling it?

So they quickly stopped modifying the records in the Book of Life and Death.

At this point, the underworld storyline should move into the next stage.

"You impudent monkey, do you know you have violated the heavenly laws?!" Wu Xian said righteously, "The underworld is not a place you can come and go as you please! All you underworld soldiers and generals, quickly arrest this impudent monkey and bring him to justice!"

At Wu Xian's command, Du Yifan, Huang Lili, and the others began to take action.

The war is about to start.

"Sorry, King Yama, Grandpa Sun is off!"

Laughing loudly, Monkey King swung his golden cudgel, sweeping away everyone with a single blow, and then flew out of the King of Hell's palace.

Wu Xian and the club members gave chase, and the other actors in Fengdu City also joined in the pursuit and interception of the mischievous monkey.

On one hand, it was an act; on the other hand, the club members really couldn't stop Monkey King.

Of course, Monkey King was also very measured, controlling his attacks and strength just right.

Although the people of the underworld appeared to have been badly defeated, they were actually unharmed.

At the club, the initially lukewarm crowd finally perked up.

"They've started fighting! They've finally started fighting!"

"Haha, that's more like it!"

"But this fight looks so fake!" Bai Shiqi couldn't help but complain. "Where are the million ghost soldiers from the underworld? Is this all there is?"

"And what about Xue Lingling's two Ghost Emperors? Why haven't they made a sound? Are they just watching the show?"

"Let's not even talk about Xue Lingling, Wu Xian's acting skills are pretty good too."

"Yeah, what about the Four Great Corpse Ancestors, the Twenty-Eight Constellations? And what about those Ten Kings of Hell? They just give orders but don't actually do anything, right?"

"I should say it, but that great demon monkey is still very strong."

"Based on the plot, this giant monkey should be a level 6 difficulty giant monkey."

"Perhaps they felt they couldn't beat that giant demon monkey, so they deliberately held back?"

“That makes sense, but the problem is that the Great Demon Monkey seems to be holding back as well.”

"Damn, are they putting on an act on both sides?"

"Where's the promised plot progression? Turns out it's just both sides putting on an acting show, huh?"

"Will this really work?" Zhang Yao and Zhang Bo wondered to themselves at the Demon God Dojo. "Such an obvious act, can it really push the plot of the Domain Scroll forward?"

The Zhang family patriarch's lips twitched slightly, clearly also somewhat unable to understand.

After all, in their minds, advancing the plot of the Ancient Realm Scroll is not easy, and the various detailed conditions are extremely demanding.

Moreover, the monsters and characters in the scroll dungeon can be killed and then revived by restarting the game.

Rather than showing mercy, it's better to kill it and get some dungeon materials.

But Wu Xian's actions in advancing the plot were truly beyond his comprehension.

This gave him the illusion that he was old and out of touch with the times.

"Huh? What a powerful aura! Who is that person?"

"Holy crap, isn't that His Highness the Abyss Demon Lord? How did he get involved?"

As both sides put on their acting shows, the crowds were getting a little bored. But when they saw the Abyss Demon Lord transform and charge into the melee, they instantly became excited.

Zhao Qinghe laughed gleefully, "Haha, even His Highness the Abyss Demon Lord can't stand it anymore?"

"The Demon Lord is mighty! Teach him a lesson, and it would be best to overturn the Underworld outpost!"

"Holy crap, the Great Demon Monkey versus the Abyss Demon Lord, what kind of god-like match is this?"

"That damned monkey shouldn't be able to escape now, right?" "Nonsense, that's His Highness the Abyss Demon Lord! Even if it's just an avatar, that damned monkey can't possibly pull a fast one."

"Emma, ​​after being tortured by that damn monkey for so long, am I finally going to see him die?"

"Great Lord of the Abyss, teach that damned monkey a lesson!"

In various live streaming rooms, countless netizens were extremely excited.

However, the ensuing battle unfolded in a way that far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Here at the Underworld film set.

Monkey King was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the Abyss Demon Lord and was sent flying backward in a sorry state. He looked back at the ugly middle-aged man who was gritting his teeth in confusion, and then looked at Wu Xian in confusion.

Wu Xian was also taken aback by the Abyss Demon Lord. "Senior Demon Lord, what are you doing here?"

"Why would I get involved?" the Abyss Demon Lord gritted his teeth and said, "You know perfectly well what you've done!"

Wu Xian was completely confused.

In his mind's eye, the God of Wealth suddenly remembered something and hurriedly reminded Wu Xian of the reason.

At this moment, Wu Xian suddenly realized a serious problem.

While it is true that the "Heaven" is the highest leader of the current order of heaven and earth, the Abyss Demon Lord, as the true god who governs the current laws of death, will inevitably be affected by this "mess".

"What the hell did you do?" the Abyss Demon Lord roared in frustration.

"Ahem, well... I'll explain later," Wu Xian said, his embarrassment tinged with apology. "But please don't do anything rash right now, or it might affect your advancement to New World."

Upon hearing this, the Abyss Demon Lord calmed down a bit, after all, he still valued the new world of Flower Fruit Mountain.

This loss, however, left him feeling quite frustrated.

The three, including the Azure Tree King, who had followed closely behind, also quickly tried to smooth things over and reconcile the situation.

"Although I don't know why you can influence the order of the laws of heaven and earth, what do you mean by letting that monkey run rampant like this?" the Abyss Demon Lord questioned. "Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

"This involves the plot development of Flower Fruit Mountain, and of course, there are some personal motives involved," Wu Xian explained. "By the way, did you suffer a great loss?"

"Fortunately, the heavens have covered the lion's share," the Abyss Demon Lord said aggrievedly, "but you must give me an explanation for this loss, otherwise I will be really angry."

"No problem, no problem," Wu Xian quickly replied.

Little did they know, Monkey King was frowning, seemingly annoyed by Wu Xian's current predicament.

After all, that was his little teacher and his little benefactor!
So, while Wu Xian was still trying to appease the Abyss Demon Lord, Monkey King unleashed a terrifying aura and swung his staff at the Abyss Demon Lord.

The club members and the three members of the Azure Tree King were all dumbfounded by this situation.

"Hey, how dare you speak to the young master like that!"

Monkey King was menacing, his golden cudgel growing larger and larger, fueled by intense rage.

"Heh~ What a reckless monkey who doesn't know his own mortality!" The Abyss Demon Lord was already angry, and when he saw the Monkey King suddenly swing his staff at him, he was so angry that he laughed. "Do you know who I am?"

As he spoke, the true god's power surged and manifested, and deathly energy filled the entire underworld, causing the wind and clouds to change color.

As the Abyss Demon Lord raised his hand, a hideous and terrifying monster claw phantom appeared above, clashing head-on with the Golden Cudgel.

boom!
"I, Old Sun, don't care who you are!!" Monkey King sneered arrogantly. "Even if you are the Heavenly King himself, you cannot be so disrespectful to this young master!"

As he spoke, the Law of Heaven and Earth suddenly activated, and his figure, bathed in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, instantly blotted out the sky.

The golden cudgel in his hand, which was locked in a stalemate with the Abyss Demon Lord, was gaining increasing power.

One second the Abyss Demon Lord was mocking and sneering, the next second an expression of disbelief and shock appeared on his face, and his arm began to feel slightly numb and sore.

Although it is only an avatar at this moment, it is still an avatar of the true god level.

"Good heavens, who is this monkey?" The three members of the Azure Tree King were clearly shocked as well.

The Sky Emperor Spirit, in particular, was extremely excited. "My dear father-in-law, you must send this monkey to my Elf God Realm. I am confident that I can nurture him into an unparalleled true god who will shake the heavens and the earth!"

"You brat, stop right now!" the Azure Tree King warned sternly. "Do you want your ghostly realm to descend into chaos?"

Just as he was about to reveal his true form and fight against Monkey King, the Abyss Demon Lord instantly calmed down.

There was no way around it; the sheer force generated by the cudgel clashing with his giant claws was already causing space to distort and the power of heaven and earth to become chaotic.

Only the framework of heaven and earth at the underworld outpost is relatively solid.

In other parts of the Ghost Realm, the power of heaven and earth would probably have been thrown into chaos long ago.

Wu Xian was deeply moved by Monkey King's selfless support, which involved unleashing the power of the Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique. However, knowing the consequences of continuing the fight, he quickly said, "Monkey King, please retreat first. His Highness the Abyss Demon Lord meant no harm; it's just that our attack caused him some losses, and he's feeling a bit resentful."

Monkey King naturally listened, silently restraining the terrifying power of the Law of Heaven and Earth and retracting his golden cudgel.

However, the look in his eyes as he gazed at the Abyss Demon Lord still revealed a cold and unruly air.

After exchanging glances with Wu Xian again to confirm that there were no problems, he set off on his somersault cloud and retreated towards the gates of hell.

Seeing that Monkey King had safely escaped, Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Honestly, you're a true god of this world, why are you arguing with a mere copy character?" Wu Xian said with a hint of resentment, "If you have any grievances, you can take them out on me."

The Abyss Demon Lord snorted and squinted, watching the direction Monkey King had left.

At this moment, he clearly no longer cared about the loss; his mind was filled with the terrifying power that Monkey King had just displayed.

Keep in mind that this is just the monkey in the sixth-tier dungeon. When it advances to the seventh, eighth, and ninth tiers, it might be able to directly contend with his true form!
"Speaking of which, who exactly is that monkey? Why does he seem even more powerful than the scrolls you've been working on?" the Abyss Demon Lord asked in surprise.

"A concept that receives my special attention is naturally no ordinary concept," Wu Xian said with a smile. "By the way, what were your main losses this time?"

"Hmph!" The Abyss Demon Lord said irritably, "As you know, the current order of the laws of heaven and earth is unstable; it's a complete mess. Since I took control of the Law of Death, I have been working to rectify and sort out the relevant laws and order."

Your actions have rendered two months of my work worthless.

"I'm so sorry, I was only thinking about disgusting the heavens and neglected you." Wu Xian expressed his deep apologies.

Upon hearing this, the Abyss Demon Lord was slightly taken aback. "What do you mean? Are you deliberately trying to annoy the heavens?"

“That’s right,” Wu Xian nodded and smiled, “And while causing trouble, you can also gain some benefits along the way.”

"If that's the case, then it's acceptable."

The Abyss Demon Lord felt much better instantly.

In short: as long as it's something that disgusts God or goes against God, he's willing to lend a hand.

“It’s quite a coincidence that I recently met a young fellow who possesses a natal scroll,” Wu Xian’s eyes flashed slightly as he took the opportunity to make connections. “His natal scroll is very compatible with the Demon Lord’s, making him a good fit for your side.”

"Really?" The Abyss Demon Lord asked skeptically, "How compatible are they?"

“Hmm…” Wu Xian pondered, “It’s probably about the same compatibility as [Jianmu] and Senior Tree King.”

"Is this really true?" The Abyss Demon Lord's eyes lit up.
