More precisely, this time it was not a test from the Heavenly Dao to Sun Kong, but a demonic tribulation representing the will of the demonic path, originating from the depths of the thirteenth demonic land of the mortal realm!
"Oh, damn it, I just finished the Heavenly Dao's tribulation, and unexpectedly, there's more?"
"And it seems to be from the demonic path..."
"This is bad, this Primordial Treasure Box can only resist seventy percent of the heavenly tribulation, and for the demonic tribulation, it seems to have little effect. Saint Yuqing, Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, you can't go back on your word."
"My old Sun..."
Just as Sun Kong had finished the nine tribulations of the Heavenly Dao and was about to successfully break through to the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, he suddenly sensed the descent of a demonic tribulation.
And.
This demonic tribulation was clearly caused by the super demonic value and the system on his person.
Ten times more powerful.
Dozens of times stronger!
Not to mention the Eight Immortals of the Chan Sect, who were too late to react and were all sent flying out of the Yuxu Palace along with their spiritual treasures by this sudden demonic tribulation power.
It also made everyone who witnessed this scene exclaim in shock and laugh!
...
"What in the world is going on with this Monkey King?"
"He survived the heavenly tribulation, and not only is he fine, but he even attracted the tribulation of the demonic path. What kind of fortuitous encounter did he have back then?"
"It couldn't be that he met the Great God Pangu, could it?"
Laozi, who was usually calm and detached, was stunned on the spot. After several deductions, he couldn't figure out how this had happened at all!
...
"My son is in danger!"
"Feng'er, Huang'er, you can't delay any longer. Go down immediately and assist Grand Sage Sun!"
"I, this empress, never expected that after the heavenly tribulation, there would be a demonic tribulation. Isn't this going to kill my son? He must be saved!"
Empress Nuwa was the most concerned about Sun Kong, calling him "my son" repeatedly. Clearly, she had not expected the appearance of the demonic tribulation either and had sent Feng'er and Huang'er, who were prepared to descend to the mortal world years later!
...
"Hahaha, what a continuous stream of good shows."
"What kind of bad luck does this Monkey King have, to be tested by nine heavenly tribulations, and then also by a demonic tribulation?"
"If I don't die this time, I'll sell my Biyou Palace, or even give it to you!"
The sage most hateful of Sun Kong, the Master of the Heavenly Lord, sneered as usual, as if, even without seeing how Sun Kong would resist the demonic tribulation, he was certain of the latter's demise!
...
"This Monkey King actually attracted the demonic tribulation too?"
"Hongjun, what is going on with this matter? Did you and I miscalculate? Sun Kong did not collude with Luohu, otherwise, why would he be targeted?"
"What's even more unexpected is that after several epochs of not seeing each other, the power of the demonic tribulation has actually become stronger than the Heavenly Dao. What exactly do they want to do?"
The Heavenly Dao, after wishing it could kill Sun Kong with one blow just now, finally regained some reason.
At his reminder, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was about to make a move.
But he was stunned the next second!
He saw.
Sun Kong, who was supposed to be unable to withstand the more powerful demonic tribulation, was now fearless. Even the bullets of the Journey to the West Gatling couldn't withstand these twelve demonic tribulations.
Sun Kong did not retreat.
Nor did he beg for mercy.
He did not join forces with Primordial Beginning, who was ready to rescue him at any moment from outside, but instead, on his own, he charged headfirst into the twelve demonic tribulations.
Like an idiot.
Like a madman.
It further cemented his nickname, "Ancestor of Death Seeking," which had spread to every corner of the Primordial World!
"It seems this Monkey King has some ultimate moves that neither you nor I know. Let's not act yet, and see how he resolves this crisis."
"If he fails, I will act then to save him. It will not be too late."
"However, if he can withstand the demonic tribulation that even a quasi-sage dares not confront, then this Monkey King will truly be someone we need to be wary of."
As soon as Ancestor Hongjun said this.
Without waiting for the sages of the heavens, the quasi-sages, and others who cared about or hated Sun Kong to express their opinions, or to pray for Sun Kong to survive, or to curse him to die miserably.
He saw.
Sun Kong, facing a demonic tribulation several times more powerful and a demonic trial a third more numerous, was not intimidated at all and truly bore the immense pressure!
Naturally, others could not discern Sun Kong's inner thoughts at this moment.
But Sun Kong, who had been seeking death for over five hundred years and had experienced all sorts of situations, knew the consequences of doing so.
To put it mildly, if he really couldn't withstand the demonic tribulation, then his cultivation, which was about to break through to the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, would be severely weakened.
Even stepping back to the middle stage of the original realm would be considered good.
More likely, he would be pushed back to the lower stage, or even fall back to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, which would be bad!
To put it severely, even if he could endure it, due to his weakness after the tribulation, if he lost the protection of a sage like Primordial Beginning, he would definitely be ambushed.
Not to mention the people of the demonic path.
Just the Jade Emperor and the Master of the Heavenly Lord, who were extremely displeased with him, would definitely seize this opportunity to make him suffer!
But Sun Kong had to do it.
Not for anything else.
But for two reasons.
First.
To prove that he, this Monkey King, was not only the ancestor of death-seeking but also capable of withstanding dual tribulations, and the sole candidate for the role of the eldest disciple in the first journey to the west in the Human Immortal Realm.
Thus, the sages of the heavens, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao, and others would either not dare to underestimate him, or would have to rely on him more.
It would also give him a chance to continue improving his strength in future tribulations, to remain independent, and to cooperate with Shakyamuni's plan.
Perhaps he could truly become one of the pillars of the post-journey to the west era!
Second.
This was also something outsiders did not know at all.
That is, after Sun Kong withstood the nine heavenly tribulations just now, he vaguely discovered that the Five-Colored Stone that formed his physical body and the Mani Pearl that formed his primordial spirit were both somewhat loose.
Sun Kong's decision to continue seeking death in this way was not only to prove himself but also to seize this opportunity to sever the karma with the Mani Pearl, which was why he made this resolute decision!
"Although that Five-Colored Stone is also monitoring me, old Sun, it is a plan laid out by my own mother, Empress Nuwa, so it cannot be canceled for the time being."
"But why should the two sages of the Western Teachings, with their careless and insincere words, continue to control my primordial spirit with their Mani Pearl?"
"This time, let's just go all out."
"Without the Mani Pearl, my cultivation might just be enough to break through to the peak stage, and I might not be able to improve further, but it's much better than being controlled by someone all the time."
"This damned twelve-layered demonic tribulation, bring it on! My old Sun is not afraid of you!"
As he spoke these words, Sun Kong once again performed a heaven-defying act that countless people would not have expected.
He did not cherish the achievement of just passing the heavenly tribulation.
Nor did he cherish the Mani Pearl that formed his primordial spirit.
Instead, while using his Pangu bloodline, innate divine demon origin, and the Innate Chaos Technique to resist the twelve-layered demonic tribulation and protect himself,
At the same time, without waiting for the two sages of the Western Teachings to stop him, he took out the crucial part of his primordial spirit, the Mani Pearl, and hurled it towards the demonic tribulation outside.
As expected.
The Mani Pearl was shattered on the spot.
The two sages of the Western Teachings were greatly shocked.
Sun Kong, however, laughed!
