You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

"Was that what they call 'lightning speed'?"

Iori thought to herself.

In the world of Godkiller, there exists the concept of "Godspeed," a level that is beyond human reach. If one had to describe it, it would be "light," "lightning," or "wind"—the ultimate speed that cannot be surpassed.

(The actual wind speed isn't that fast, but this isn't a physical value; it's a concept.)

Among the seven godkillers, the Black Prince is known for his "divine speed." It is said that he can use his power to transform into lightning, which is incredibly destructive. Once he wants to leave, no one can catch up with him!

Sun Wukong possesses the supernatural power of the Somersault Cloud, which allows him to travel 108,000 li in an instant. As a god who does not follow the heavens, he can naturally also enter the realm of "divine speed".

Although Iori also possesses Sora no Toki and Shunpo, and theoretically Sora no Toki could even be teleportation... in reality, it is far less threatening than "Godspeed".

The reason is simple: speed itself means power and destruction!

The golden cudgel, empowered by the somersault cloud, is something even Iori can't dodge!

However, that last blow was probably considered "showing mercy."

Even if he went all out, he still couldn't defeat Iori, but he wouldn't have resolved the situation so easily. It seems this was just the Great Sage Equaling Heaven greeting someone and venting his anger from a hundred years of imprisonment.

That does fit the monkey's character:

Sun Wukong never adhered to any particular method, and was adept at using various transformations and schemes to overcome difficulties. However, in a sense, he was also very "virtuous in martial arts" and would not engage in assassination or attacks to avoid ruining his reputation. Yes, even as a "famous bandit leader," he still had to maintain his dignity.

Why did you leave early?

Iori laughed, as if speaking to an old friend: "I was originally planning to 'send off' this guest before dealing with your matter... Is there a problem with [Saddler]?"

Upon hearing those three words, Sun Wukong's hair stood on end, and his furious will ignited real flames around him, making him appear even more majestic.

"Although I don't know who you are, don't mention this in front of me again!"

"If it weren't for a stroke of luck—that dragon happened to nourish my strength—how could I have reshaped this body?!"

"Really... The plan has been disrupted."

Iori didn't dwell on it much. "Perhaps this is just luck. There's no time like the present. Let's have our duel today!"

"hey-hey!"

Sun Wukong revealed a set of white teeth, with his sharp canines slightly protruding, showcasing the wildness within him that could not be eradicated.

"Speaking of which, all this commotion lately... was it all your doing? Did you even kill that old Susanoo? Heh, if that's the case, I might as well thank you."

What Iori didn't know was that the Monkey God's escape from the "Kishin" was full of luck.

It was the battle between Iori and Susanoo that caused massive damage to Mount Fuji, disrupting the largest sacred dragon vein in all of Japan, and naturally affecting the enormous ritual that suppressed the Monkey God.

Secondly, Susanoo died. His divine power was also part of this ritual, and after his death, he was like water without roots.

Finally, and most importantly—Luo Hao brought over a dragon, which happened to have a deep connection with the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven"!

As we all know, Sun Wukong learned his skills from a master at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, but he only acquired his full set of armor and divine weapons after stealing the treasure from the Dragon Palace. Essentially, he plundered the power of the dragons and snakes, transforming it into his own [steel].

Journey to the West is a worldview that blends Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. It divides the continent into four continents based on the Buddhist concept, but also incorporates real-world landmarks such as the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, the Five Lakes and Four Seas, and various divine realms.

Sun Wukong [Steel] comes from the East Sea, and the Four Seas is not a figurative term. There are approximate corresponding locations in ancient books. For example, the East Sea generally refers to the area of ​​the Yellow Sea today. Since the Yellow River changed its course in the Ming Dynasty and entered the sea from the Huai River (the Four Rivers were out of control), the East Sea became the Yellow Sea.

It comes from the same place as the dragon hunted in Luohao!

That dragon was a divine beast born from the convergence of the peninsula's earth energy and the essence of the Yellow Sea. It was driven to Japan by Luo Hao, who was proficient in Taoist magic, with the "Dragon Flying to Heaven Song," in an attempt to use it as a sacrifice to awaken Sun Wukong.

This was a success. In terms of attributes, it was undoubtedly extremely suitable for the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. However, as soon as Luo Hao landed, he was taken away by Iori for a one-on-one battle. The dragon was on the verge of death and was trapped by the people of the [Official History Compilation Committee], who planned to capture it and then wait for Iori to decide its fate.

However, at this very moment, the ritual they had prepared in advance to please Iori went wrong. The priestess was possessed by the Monkey King, who took out his treasured sword and slew the dragon. She then successfully used the power to break the seal, escaping her mortal body and returning to her divine form!

It can only be said that for a strategist like Sun Wukong, who is extremely adept at escaping, he will seize any opportunity that comes his way... It's only a matter of time before he leaves the seal.

"No need for thanks. Susanoo did indeed die by my hand. I heard that the Great Sage had been imprisoned for a long time, so I tried to rescue him... but now it seems that it is no longer necessary."

"Iori said slowly."

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow: "Oh? So you did help me escape this predicament. I've always been a straightforward person, how do you want me to repay you?"

"Haha, I'm not one to be hypocritical or polite. Since the Great Sage has said so, I really do have something I need your help with."

"what's up?"

"It would be better to leave the monkey's head behind, so that I can report back to my old friend Rama."

Iori smiled slightly, and as she drew her Zanpakuto, streams of magical energy erupted forth, transforming into a gigantic phantom a hundred meters tall. In an instant, it was fully armored and wielded its sword, bringing it down towards Sun Wukong—

"Good! Good! Good!"

Sun Wukong laughed uncontrollably, leaping into the air to meet the giant blade: "Let's see if you have the ability!"

The battle between the god-slayer and the disobedient god seems to need no reason. Sun Wukong, as the steel hero who once traveled west to quell demons, is even more clear-headed and doesn't think about too many trivial matters. Once he enters the battle, his mental energy is highly concentrated.

Clang!

The giant blade struck, or rather collided with, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. The difference in size between the two was even disproportionate, but the Susanoo Colossus suddenly swayed, and a metallic sound came from under the blade. It was unimaginable that what it had struck was a living creature.

"Hey, you little thief who hasn't even grown his hair yet, come and try my big stick!"

A surge of fighting spirit erupted from the ape, instantly enveloping the void where Iori was.

Without giving Iori any time to react, and without any warning or reminder, Sun Wukong launched an attack without hesitation, aiming his iron rod at Iori.

With a long howl, the golden ape transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the air with the sound of wind and thunder!

He did not use the supernatural power called "Somersault Cloud," but simply accelerated his physical body, yet he achieved an astonishing speed second only to "Godspeed," demonstrating his powerful physical abilities.

"drink--!"

With a mighty force, enough to topple mountains, a steel rod swung heavily toward Iori's head amidst a howling wind.

Iori's eyes narrowed as he stared at the imposing iron rod. He raised his hand and delivered a slash that effortlessly parted the atmosphere. The moment the two made contact, the surrounding atmosphere was instantly cleared, creating a vacuum.

"clang--!"

Steel clashed against steel, producing a long and resounding sound like the grandest bells of ancient Chinese music. The shockwaves created visible waves that spread rapidly in all directions.

The divine monkey's power to subdue dragons and tigers was transmitted through the weapon. Even Iori had to strain her hands, and she had to lower her shoulders and elbows and sway her body to catch it steadily.

In just a moment, Iori understood that in terms of power alone, Son Goku far surpassed Susanoo!

No, I should say that he is better than that half-baked guy in every aspect!

Both are Steel Heroes with complex attributes and diverse divine natures, but the Monkey King made Iori feel a pressure that was many times greater than that of Susanoo as soon as he appeared... The two are indeed not in the same league.

Of course, Iori is no novice god-slayer; she has plenty of tricks up her sleeve!

"Ah."

The power of the demonic path gathered on his shoulders, one part being thunder and the other a raging wind, as if summoning the wind god and the thunder god to descend at the same time. Iori unleashed his "Instant Roar" in full force, and the explosive power filled Iori's limbs and bones. This was a monstrous strength that was enough to move mountains and fill seas!

A cold smile appeared on Iori's lips as he held his sword in one hand while simultaneously grabbing one end of the golden cudgel with his other.

Sun Wukong was taken aback; this was probably the first time he had encountered an enemy who would do such a thing. But the force that followed abruptly snapped him back to reality—

Iori gripped the stick tightly and swung it around, and he was flung around like an appendage!

Iori's movements were incredibly fast, seemingly without any pause between actions. It was as if Sun Wukong's iron rod had been pulled away by him, and he smoothly transitioned from defense to offense, instantly turning the tables!

"call!"

Before Sun Wukong could even marvel at Iori's power, "Ama-no-Murakumo" was pointed at his throat in the blink of an eye. But being a martial god comparable to Erlang Shen, he remained calm even in this perilous situation.

Ka!

Sparks flew everywhere, and he actually bit the blade with his teeth!

Then Sun Wukong raised his head and opened his mouth, his body suddenly leaned back, and with a twist of his waist, he managed to do a somersault in mid-air where he had nowhere to put his weight on!

Iori's Mirror of Still Water brushed past Sun Wukong's chin, the sharp wind pressure shearing off a few golden hairs.

"Awesome! Hey!"

The Monkey God only jumped a few times and was far away from Iori, then grinned ferociously: "But I'm not just strong. You think you can beat me? Not so easy!"

A golden auspicious cloud appeared beneath the feet of the Monkey King. This short-statured monkey king let out a deafening laugh that shook the heavens and the earth. Riding on his somersault cloud, he darted toward Iori with unparalleled speed.

As if skipping the process, in an instant, the Monkey King once again raised his indestructible golden cudgel.

The combination of divine speed and divine power created an unparalleled shockwave.

The atmosphere was instantly emptied, and the terrifying pressure caused space itself to distort.

But just as Iori raised her sword to counterattack, she seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped—

Suddenly, a beam of golden light descended from the sky, its overwhelming power abruptly interrupting the battle between the man and the monkey.

The so-called "ten thousand feet" is not an exaggeration. The golden giant standing on the earth is taller than the clouds, and its image is like a guardian deity magnified countless times!

As the light grew even more dazzling, the giant swung his hand down, and before it even reached him, an astonishing gust of wind formed an invisible wave that swept everything away!

As Iori watched this scene, his eyes twitched slightly: the range of this attack was enough to easily destroy a modern metropolis.

"Luo Hao?"

His first thought was of the god-slayer he had knocked away. He had assumed that all he needed to do next was fight Sun Wukong, but now it seemed that he had underestimated Luo Hao.

The colossal golden statue that has appeared now is far more imposing than the "little golden man" that was summoned before, and this is Luo Hao's full power!

Even though he is superior in martial arts, if the power of a god-slayer is unleashed without restraint, it is enough to reverse the outcome of all battles!

"Alright, everyone, let's show our true abilities—Susanoo!"

Chapter 372 Drinking? Drink what I left over!

The golden giant literally means "standing tall and firm." Although "ten thousand feet" is a figurative expression, its actual height is over three thousand meters. It is truly like a mountain that has come to life, and it can change the color of the world with just a wave of its hand!

However, it could not run rampant, because soon a deep blue light was born in the void, and an armored warrior, also more than three thousand meters tall, rose from the ground, blocking the giant hand with his sword and pushing upwards, forcing the golden man back.

The shockwave from the collision upended the entire earth, blowing away towering trees tens of meters tall like insignificant dust, while the hundreds of meters of "dust wave" mixed with mountain debris didn't even reach the calves of the two giants...

The Golden Armored Divine Man is a powerful warrior summoned by the [Vajra Divine Skill]. It is the power that Luo Hao obtained by defeating two Buddhist Benevolent Kings (the Heng and Ha Generals). Its effect is very simple: super strong defense and destructive power!

Although it looks bulky, its pure strength and sturdiness are enough to suppress any dissent!

"Vajra Subdues Demons! Great Phoenix Without Heaven!"

A cold, clear decree echoed from the void. Luo Hao's figure could not be seen, but the phantom of the warrior struck a pose and began to wield the martial arts king's most prized "Twelve Divine Palms of the Flying Phoenix"!

Zheng!

The armored warrior was not at a disadvantage either. His huge body was far more agile than expected. He leaned forward and dodged the palm strike that pierced the air. He took a step forward and rushed forward, drawing his great katana, which was more than two thousand meters long, and delivered a powerful reverse kasaya slash from his lower right to his left shoulder!

Stab-! ! !

The katana swept across the golden body, unleashing countless flashes of golden light. The resounding boom echoed through the sky, and the remaining sword energy shot out and severed a mountain range, demonstrating its astonishing power.

But even this attack failed to sever the golden figure in two, leaving only a gruesome wound from which golden particles continued to dissipate.

boom!

Instead of retreating, the Jurchens grabbed the warrior's arms and used their immense strength to forcibly restrain his movements.

At that very moment, a few flashes of light appeared, and a figure dressed in flowing palace attire passed directly through the spatial barrier, appearing on the samurai's forehead—where Iori was.

Taihou Muten!

The Vajra Warrior was merely a cover; the real killing move was Luo Hao's delicate hand!

The phantom, as hard as steel, was shattered, revealing a large hole, and Iori's body was completely exposed to Luo Hao!

"Take this Flying Phoenix move—"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Luo Hao's counterattack was interrupted by a deafening roar. The astonishing magical power that erupted from the ground even caused the two giants to stagger. Wuxia Wang himself had no choice but to stop, turning his body and flying hundreds of meters away with the strong wind.

The rock-like figure continued to expand, rising to a height of over two thousand meters in just a few breaths. Its entire body was covered in a simple gray-black color, and its head and face turned into a ferocious and terrifying creature with blue faces and fangs, looking exactly like a monster that had emerged from the primordial wilderness!

Law heaven and earth!

When the Great Sage Equaling Heaven unleashed this divine power, although his size was not as large as Iori and Luo Hao, his aura was in no way inferior. He roared to the sky, and the layers of air waves forced the two to temporarily give way.

At this moment, the winding hills, rivers, vast forests, and wilderness all prostrated themselves at the feet of the three giants, the world seeming like their plaything.

"it is good!"

Iori had never experienced such a powerful battle before, and his emotions soared. He raised the Kusanagi Sword and slashed at the stone monkey, and Susanoo made a corresponding move.

"Roar!!"
