Journey to the West: Black Six Ears

By the time Sun Qiong realized what was happening...

His surroundings underwent tremendous changes.

He felt as if he were on a relatively cold, high mountain.

When he realized the change, everything around him seemed like a pot of water being heated.

Every breath inside caused pain in his internal organs.

It was as if countless knives were hidden in the air, drilling into his limbs and bones with each breath.

The world around us is boundless, yet it is limited by height, direction, and orientation.

An invisible barrier has trapped him here.

At that moment, Sun Qiong understood that he had been sucked into the Jade Bottle.

"So that's how it is. All that rambling was just to put the Jade Bottle behind me."

Sun Qiong chuckled softly.

Compared to the simple-minded Silver Horn, this Golden-Winged Roc is quite cunning.

All those arrangements were made just to successfully manipulate things at this moment.

In fact, he did the right thing in that step.

After all, with such a powerful magic weapon, everyone would want to try it out, otherwise they would feel unbalanced.

Sun Qiong could also understand the Golden-Winged Roc's thoughts.

So when the Jade Bottle unleashed its power, melting Sun Qiong into a single monkey hair, Sun Qiong on the other side finally ventured into the depths of the cave.

"Another avatar?"

The golden-winged roc raised its eyebrows and looked at Sun Qiong in surprise.

He had witnessed Sun Wukong's incarnations and knew that Sun Qiong also knew this move.

However, he did not expect that Sun Qiong would know about the magical effects of the Jade Bottle.

If one didn't know, one would absolutely not use an avatar at this time.

"Creating an avatar is an extremely energy-consuming ability. You're not a Taiyi Golden Immortal, is it really a good idea to use so much energy?"

Ordinary people would never waste so much magical power to create an external avatar.

Sun Qiong took a deep breath.

This external avatar does indeed consume a lot of magical power, not to mention that Sun Qiong's external avatar is the kind that completely replicates the power of the original body.

Even Sun Wukong, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, couldn't maintain his external avatar indefinitely, let alone Sun Qiong, who wasn't even a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Of course not. An avatar would consume at least half of my mana."

Sun Qiong shrugged; he didn't try to hide anything.

So he smiled and said to the golden-winged roc:

"Golden-Winged Roc, I'm curious, have you ever tasted the flavor of the Jade Bottle?"

"Of course not..."

Before the words were finished, the Golden-Winged Roc suddenly realized something.

He looked down at his feet, where a purple-gold gourd lay, unnoticed.

The gourd's mouth was open, perfectly aligned with him.

His answer triggered the effect of the purple-gold gourd.

The next moment, the nine-tailed fox's body was sucked into the purple-gold-red gourd.

Sun Qiong covered the purple-gold-red gourd with the lid, concealing everything inside.

After doing all this, Sun Qiong finally raised her head, casually stuffed the gourd into her bosom, and asked in confusion, looking upwards:

"You managed to get away from that?"

"After all, it's just a body that was stolen."

With the spirit of the Golden-Winged Roc right before his eyes, he felt much more relaxed after regaining his true form.

He stretched and said to Sun Qiong:

"You're in good health."

After all, it has the body of a stone monkey, something born and raised by nature, so it is naturally quite good.

What the Golden-Winged Roc coveted was Sun Qiong's body, which was exactly the same as Sun Wukong's.

If we can seize it, and combine it with his divine soul, his future achievements will surely reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, or even surpass it.

Thinking this, a hint of greed appeared in the eyes of the Golden-Winged Roc.

"Although I can't give it to you, your soul is quite good. If you can refine it, it can significantly enhance your spiritual power."

Sun Qiong looked at the golden-winged roc and nodded with great interest.

"Then why don't you give it a try?"

The golden-winged roc suddenly flapped its wings.

A chilling flame rose from the tip of the wings, then dissipated into the air, burning towards Sun Qiong.

Seeing this, Sun Qiong simply took a deep breath.

The flame was not cold, but it was nothing compared to the Six Ding Divine Fire.

Faced with such flames, Sun Qiong did not hesitate to open his mouth and spew out the Six Ding Divine Fire.

When the two flames collided, the flames that emerged from the wings were like melting snow in spring, and were swallowed up by the Six Ding Divine Fire in the blink of an eye.

The golden-winged roc was startled when it saw the fire.

He had never seen this thing before, but he had heard of it.

The flame that Laozi used to refine elixirs was a flame capable of refining all things.

For a soul like his, the Six Ding Divine Fire is something that cannot be touched.

"How do you have something like this?"

Could this monkey have some connection with Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao)?

Thinking this through, the Golden-Winged Roc's face showed a look of sudden realization:

"No wonder you intervened to save them; it turns out you were in cahoots with them?"

"You mean Golden Horn and Silver Horn? Of course they're not in the same group."

Sun Qiong shrugged and offered no explanation.

The Golden-Winged Roc didn't care whether they were allies or not; his intentions remained unchanged.

Aside from the now-useless Golden Rope and the Purple-Gold Red Gourd that Sun Qiong took, the Golden-Winged Roc still has one more thing that it can use.

When he took out this thing, Sun Qiong's expression changed slightly.

"This thing is called a banana leaf fan."

The thing the Golden-Winged Roc took out was the Banana Leaf Fan.

The fan transforms in your hand, growing to be taller than a person.

Sun Qiong knew very well what the banana leaf fan was.

Of course, the banana leaf fan in the hands of the Golden-Winged Roc is different from the one in the hands of Princess Iron Fan.

This one is for fanning the fire.

"You have the Six Ding Divine Fire, and so do I."

With a wave of the fan, a powerful flame rose from the end of the fan.

Sun Qiong recognized the flame; it was naturally the Six Ding Divine Fire.

Moreover, the Six Ding Divine Fire that the fan emitted also engulfed the Six Ding Divine Fire that Sun Qiong had spat out.

The two waves of flames converged, illuminating the entire cave in a fiery red glow.

The temperature inside soared rapidly, and even the Golden Horn and Silver Horn outside noticed the anomaly.

"How could there possibly be such terrifying Six Ding Divine Fire in the mortal realm?"

Silver Horn was taken aback.

They had been in the heavens for so long, and they had never seen such a fierce Six Ding Divine Fire more than a few times.

The two streams of Six Ding Divine Fire collided, remained locked in a stalemate, and then merged into one.

Sun Qiong understood that continuing like this would definitely cause problems.

His magical power was insufficient to support the consumption of the Six Ding Divine Fire, while the Golden-Winged Roc was different; it used a banana leaf fan, which could be used as many times as needed.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Qiong suddenly stopped the Six Ding Divine Fire.

The next moment, the combined Six Ding Divine Fires transformed into a giant fireball and spewed towards the cave entrance.

The moment it hit the stone wall, a violent explosion rang out, and the entire Lotus Cave was blasted into the sky by the fireball in an instant.

Boom!

Silver Horn grabbed Golden Horn and fled Pingdingshan at top speed.

Under the terrifying heat of the Six Ding Divine Fire, this place was transformed into a second Flaming Mountain.

"Those two lunatics! Aren't they both dead?"

Silver Horn looked at the half-burning sky and couldn't help but swallow hard.

He couldn't think of anything other than madmen to describe these two people who could use the Six Ding Divine Fire and even fight within it.

However, under such flames, no one thought the two could survive.

Just as he thought this, two people suddenly burst out from the burning ruins.

The two of them are indeed in bad shape right now.

Although Sun Qiong used the Five Elements Escape Technique to avoid the direct explosion, the Six Ding Divine Fire burned the entire Pingdingshan Mountain, and he was caught up with.

The price was that an arm was caught in the fire.

Fortunately, it didn't take long, and with the stone monkey's body, it managed to withstand the ordeal.

The Golden-Winged Roc on the other side was much smarter; it hid behind a banana leaf fan and fanned all the flames back.

However, as a divine soul, extending it into the Six Ding Divine Fire would itself cause considerable damage.

Both of them looked disheveled and covered in dust.

But the fighting doesn't end just because someone is injured.

There is only half an hour left until the end of today.

Sun Qiong's time is running out.

"Fortunately, I had that move prepared."
