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

But I, Old Sun, am no less capable. I possess seventy-two transformations and a hundred kinds of ingenuity!

"Godslayer, if you truly wish to defeat me, it won't be so easy."

Iori smiled without saying anything, but tacitly agreed with this statement.

Just like his infinite magic, Sun Wukong is basically a bugged character with an infinite stamina bar. Whether fighting with others, whether in a one-on-one duel or a group attack, whether he suffers a loss or gains an advantage, he only cries out in pain, but never complains of being tired...

Despite being caught in the crossfire amidst the chaos, it was utterly impossible for him to subdue this god through mere combat!

However, considering his defense and vitality, achieving a fatal blow or a swift victory would be extremely difficult...

Leaving aside his status as the son of the earth and his divine nature forged through countless trials, if we only discuss the character of "Sun Wukong," what the Monkey King seeks is the supernatural power to roam freely throughout the three realms, which essentially means being free from the constraints of life and death and living a truly carefree and unrestrained life.

This affected the way Sun Wukong, the God of Steel, existed. Perhaps this is why his survivability is significantly stronger than his offensive capabilities (of course, his attack power is also top-notch).

The Seventy-Two Transformations allows him to flexibly adapt to various situations; the Somersault Cloud allows him to come and go as he pleases, and no matter how many people surround him, they cannot stop him from escaping; the Vajra Indestructible Body is an immortal body that is impervious to swords and lightning.

Even the treasures it begged from gods and Buddhas were just life-saving hairs, and given that it was a shameless creature, it was willing to use any means necessary...

"It's alright, it just takes a little more effort."

Iori appeared very confident: "As a stone monkey with wisdom, you should have already sensed something, right?"

"..."

This time it was Sun Wukong's turn to be silent. He glanced at Luo Hao, who was still fighting with his avatar, and then looked deeply at Yi Zhi. His head was unconsciously raised, and an arrogance arose spontaneously.

Although he is a martial god, he is also a master of divination and fortune telling, and even has some knowledge of medicine, divination and astrology. In addition, he has a naturally keen spiritual sense, so he can see through the affairs of the world and understand the dangers.

Currently, the Monkey King is not weaker than the two god-slayers, and even has the upper hand in the situation!

But he knew he had already shown his true abilities, as had Luo Hao... Only Iori remained unfathomable!

It was a mysterious feeling that was hard to describe, but Sun Wukong felt that if the fight continued like this without any fundamental breakthrough... then sooner or later, Iori would figure out his methods and end the battle, just as he had just said—

It just takes a little more effort.

"Alright, I admit you are a formidable opponent that Old Sun has never encountered before. Under normal circumstances, you might have succeeded, but the wonder of fate lies in its many coincidences... Even Old Sun himself could not have imagined that his old grudge with this woman would become the sword of victory today!"

Ha ha ha ha!!!"

After speaking, the Monkey King's laughter was unrestrained and bold, and all his transformations were withdrawn into his body, causing the Martial Arts King's palm strike to miss its target, leaving him momentarily stunned.

At the same time, an astonishingly powerful magical force surged from the Monkey King!

Like the vast ocean, or the unfathomable abyss, like a savage beast awakening, its indescribable power suppressed the entire scene as if it were a tangible force!

It did nothing, but simply existed there, and the waves formed by the aftershocks of the curse shook away the surrounding clouds and mist, creating a vast expanse of sky.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying curse power poured out in all directions, shaking the surrounding atmosphere like some kind of supernatural force, indirectly causing the space to distort.

"Judging from this, could it be some kind of secret technique to amplify divine power?"

Luo Hao was shocked but thoughtful at the same time, "This kind of supernatural power is not rare, but to increase one's strength by such a great deal..."

At this moment, the intensity of the curse power displayed by Sun Wukong was several times that of Susanoo!

Unlike Luo Hao, Yi Zhi had a strange expression, and even seemed slightly distracted, as if she was listening to something.

Sun Wukong disregarded everything else; his golden hairs blazed with a fiery red light as he leaped into the void, then hurtled towards the enemy like a comet.

They actually turned to Luo Hao!

"Haha, grit your teeth, Godslayer!"

Having said that, the Monkey King raised his mighty divine weapon.

"Take a stick from my old grandson!"

Despite the surprise, Luo Hao remained calm. With a wave of her hand, golden light emanated from her body, and the phantom of the warrior once again enveloped her.

Bang——! ! !

This strike was truly like a resounding bell, the iron rod shattering the strongman. While Luo Hao was astonished, he concentrated golden particles to protect his small body and blocked the subsequent thrusts, but was also sent flying far away.

"Hey!"

With a flick of his staff, the Monkey King turned his attack on Iori with undiminished momentum.

This is to separate the two god-slayers and concentrate firepower to take down one of them first!

"So confident?"

Iori snapped out of her daze, gave a cold glance, and with a thought, laid down layers of demonic paths in front of her.

There are ancient buildings that resemble gates, invisible spatial barriers, and glowing diamond-shaped shields...

hum!

The long iron rod pierced through the atmosphere, crashing into layers of ghostly paths with a high-pitched sound, instantly shattering them to pieces!

But this slight hindrance also gave Iori ample time to react. Amidst the scattering fragments, a bolt of lightning shot out, and the sounds of wind and thunder swirled around her agile figure—

Instantly unleash full power!

By imbuing the power of the Storm with the power of the Demon Path, Shunko no longer cared about his level. Every move Iori made could shake the heavens and the earth!

An unprecedented power surged within Iori's body. With a single punch, she unleashed a storm powerful enough to sweep across an entire country. The powerful shockwave distorted space and light, directly confronting Sun Wukong.

With a roar, the swift stone monkey unleashed its divine power, its speed traversing countless spaces to reach Iori.

Clang!

He bravely raised his sword to meet the attack, pushed away the iron rod that was as heavy as a mountain, and launched a counterattack without showing any weakness!

"Monkey, you'll take this too!"

The Monkey King's pupils contracted, and he pulled back and blocked with his iron rod, letting the wind pressure brush past his skin, leaving a shallow wound on Sun Wukong's face.

"How brave!"

The Monkey King was not angry but delighted. The blood that flowed out made his smile look even more ferocious. He had clearly used his trump card but still suffered a loss, which made him extremely ashamed and angry, but he remained unusually calm.

Now, he exudes a powerful aura, resembling a dragon swimming in the ocean, as if he has rediscovered his former wildness.

There's no need to dodge anymore; all we need to do now is communicate with our weapons!

"A virtuous person is constantly diligent and cautious, and at night he is always vigilant and prudent, so he will avoid any misfortune."

It may leap in the abyss, or fly in the sky; it is advantageous to see a great man. But a dragon that has gone too far will have regrets, or it will see a group of dragons without a leader!

"Qian (乾), Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen (元亨利贞)!"

The tangible power of the curse surged up like ocean waves, freezing the entire space.

Seeing the ever-growing crimson-gold aura emanating from the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, burning brightly like a beacon blazing into the sky, and feeling the oppressive force emanating from it, Iori's expression turned solemn.

Just how many secret techniques does this guy possess?!

No, this is beyond what so-called "secret techniques" can achieve. There must be something beyond divine secret techniques that allowed Sun Wukong to suddenly gain such powerful strength.

Could it be that, just as Rama said in his mind, this Great Sage Equal to Heaven also possesses…

"Ok?"

Before Iori could even think, Sun Wukong, transformed into the Crimson Golden Monkey King, had already stormed in!

"bring it on!"

Instant roar! Ama-no-Murakumo!

Neither side showed any intention of passive defense. In less than a snap of the fingers, the two, who had instantly regrouped, launched the most intense attack simultaneously!

Divine swords and iron rods, sharp blades and blunt weapons, the dragon-slaying blade that cuts through everything, suppressing the unruly treasures of the sea.

There were no gaps between them as they moved, ignoring the attacks that grazed their bodies, focusing solely on wielding their weapons. It was as if they had sealed away any other supernatural powers or abilities, and were simply displaying their martial arts skills in this close combat without any regard for the consequences.

It's not just a contest of weapons; the two will even exchange blows with their fists and feet, using every means to attack whenever they have the chance, tapping into their body's potential and dedicating it all to the fight.

The Monkey King laughed wildly, saying that if the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) wasn't enough, he would use kicks, elbows, and fists.

It possesses a sensitivity far exceeding that of humans. Although its martial arts skills are not as disciplined and ethereal as Luo Hao's, it has a unique wildness.

He combines fists, feet, and sticks to deliver a series of heavy blows accompanied by sonic booms.

—Just before Luo Hao returned, the two exchanged blows at high speed for no less than a hundred rounds.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

With a single swing of the staff, the heavy shadows of the staff collided with the sword blades that weaved through the void, sparking blinding flashes of light.

"Drink!"

Driven by their wild instincts, they clashed weapons, neither giving an inch. Meanwhile, Sun Wukong ignored the punch thrown by Iori and threw one back!

Bang-!

Bang-!

Their fists struck each other in the chest simultaneously, and their bodies jolted in unison.

The next moment, the two exerted their strength without hesitation!

One is the divine power granted by the ritual, and the other is the physical body forged through countless trials, amplified by the "Instant Power Surge".

No need to throw a punch, no need to swing your arms, just make contact with the opponent.

Then, this power will surely be able to shatter everything!

boom! ! !

The sounds overlapped, and in the almost shattered void, Iori and Sun Wukong each retreated violently.

It was clearly a collision of flesh, but the overlapping sound waves were more astonishing than the clash of swords, as terrifying as thunder in a storm.

"Cough, cough!"

Iori frowned slightly, placed her hand on her chest, and felt a surge of blood rushing to her head, but it was quickly calmed down by the Third Method.

"..."

The Monkey King forcibly stopped his retreat and stood there silently for a long time—it had been a long time since he had been hit so hard that he was almost out of breath.

"I, Old Sun, have never imagined that I would one day lose to someone in martial arts and fundamental skills... even in supernatural powers and magic..."

Gripping his Ruyi Jingu Bang tightly, Sun Wukong grinned at Iori, though the blood stains made him look somewhat ferocious.

“Interesting, interesting, terrifying and awe-inspiring... I never thought that even after using the Covenant Technique and receiving the blessing of the gods, I still couldn’t defeat you.”

"The Covenant Law".

Iori looked solemnly at the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, thinking to herself, "Just as I thought!"

In those clear black and white eyes, now reflected is a steel hero who stands tall and has been blessed by the gods!

“I’ve heard some things about it... It doesn’t seem to be an ability that all Steel Heroes possess.”

"Oh, so you knew?"

With a hearty laugh, the Monkey King hoisted the iron rod onto his shoulder and said nonchalantly.

"That's right, this is the power of the ancient covenant. You god-slayers are madmen who seek and kill gods on earth, and demon kings who bring calamity to the world."

The gods made a pact in the realm of immortal gods in order to punish you demon kings, which stipulates that they will support specific gods after certain conditions are met.

The Covenant Law grants the gods who fight against the god-slayers the power of the stars and the heavens, thus enabling them to achieve final victory!

O Rakshasa King who slays gods, it is the mandate of the gods to punish a demon king like you, and those who obey the mandate of the gods will naturally be protected by the gods, just as ordinary people on their journey to the West are protected by the Six Ding and Six Jia!

Unfortunately, all Old Sun could get was an incomplete alliance, after all, I am not the chosen one of this era.

But... that's enough to punish you!

"not necessarily."

Having said that, he opened a rift in the void, reached into his storage space, and grasped the rusty longsword wrapped in white cloth...

He paused, then finally let go without taking it out.

Iori suddenly smiled and said mysteriously, "Perhaps, I am the one with 'destiny'?"

Chapter 374 Forbidden Words! The Map of Mountains and Rivers!

Iori is no stranger to the concept of destiny, or rather, the "Covenant Law."

Rama, as a hero chosen by fate, would descend in a certain form to defeat multiple demon kings whenever they appeared on earth, and he has never failed to do so so far.
