"Back then, when I arrived in this time and space, I relied on something called the Super Demonic Path System. I wonder what this stinky monkey relies on?"
"Could it be that he's also from the Black Star time and space?"
"But the Super Demonic Path System clearly told me that besides me, there couldn't possibly be a second traverser here. What's the deal with this impudent monkey?"
It turned out that this Demonic Sage, like Sun Kong, was also a traverser, but not from the Blue Star time and space, but from a certain Black Star time and space.
Just as he was muttering to himself.
The Super Demonic Path System within his body emitted a voice for the nth time.
It was also a "reward" similar to the Super Karma System on Sun Kong's person!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for being shocked by Great Sage Sun once again, thus developing a trace of fear towards him. You are hereby rewarded with one chance.]
[Reward: Deduct one-tenth of the host's current cultivation, and one-tenth of the host's current Super Demonic Path Value.]
[Host's current cultivation: Hunyuan Da Luo Jin Mo, Middle Grade, 90%.]
[Host's current Super Demonic Path Value: 90.]
[Note: Given that the host's Super Demonic Path Value is below the warning line of 100, the host's cultivation has also dropped from Demonic Path Saint, Lower Grade, to Hunyuan Da Luo Jin Mo, Middle Grade, over the years, and is about to break through to Da Luo.]
[This system once again warns the host not to be shocked by people like Great Sage Sun again, nor to let him continue to alter the karma of the Journey to the West, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!]
Upon hearing this, the Demonic Sage wore a wry smile. Although he could tell that Sun Kong was a traverser like him, he didn't know that his loss was precisely Sun Kong's gain.
Seeing that the pressure erupting from Sun Kong made even the three Quasi-Saint ancestors wary, he had no choice but to order a retreat!
And at the same time.
Sun Kong inexplicably received a system reward!
[Ding! The host unleashed his full potential, with the Pangu bloodline, Innate God-Demon roots, and Innate Chaos Technique, he performed beyond expectations and shocked the three Quasi-Saints of the Demon Race.]
[Reward: Reverence from Patriarch Minghe, Patriarch Huangquan, and Patriarch Youming, 5 points!]
This was a reward he had grown accustomed to.
Sun Kong didn't pay it much mind.
But in the next second, he was stunned by the following reward!
[Ding! The host has also shocked the traverser from the Black Star time and space, the Demonic Sage, causing him to develop inexplicable fear towards the host and be forced to retreat voluntarily.]
[From now on, the host will become his nemesis in his eyes.]
[Reward 1: One-tenth of the Demonic Sage's current cultivation, Hunyuan Da Luo Jin Mo, Middle Grade, 10%.]
[Note: Due to the Demonic Sage's special situation, this cultivation reward cannot be fully integrated into the host's body. The conversion rate is only 10%, meaning the host will only obtain 1% of his cultivation!]
[Reward 2: One-tenth of the Demonic Sage's current Super Demonic Path Value, 10!]
[Note: As this system missed its upgrade back then, this Super Demonic Path Value cannot be used to redeem related items. We can only hope the host continues to work hard and strive to let this system get the opportunity for the next upgrade!]
Hearing this.
Sun Kong's entire being felt like it was cracking.
However, it wasn't cracking from disappointment, but from an excess of joy.
The Demonic Sage was a traverser?
This wasn't too surprising.
After all, when Sun Kong was tracking Wu Zhiqi in the past, he had encountered countless wormholes and discovered two traversers.
But what made him curious was that this Demonic Sage actually came from something called the Black Star time and space, and unlike those two from the wormholes.
This Demonic Sage also had a golden finger.
It seemed to be called the Super Demonic Path System!
However, his golden finger was quite unhelpful. It didn't help the Demonic Sage step by step towards becoming a Demonic Path Saint, lead the Demon Race to revival, and overthrow the Heavenly Dao with the Demonic Path.
Instead, because Sun Kong was too prone to courting disaster, too good at shocking others, and too adept at altering karma, this fellow suffered heavy losses time and time again.
"To be a traverser and end up like the Demonic Sage is truly a dog's life, hehe. In this regard, he still needs to ask me, Old Sun, for advice."
"However, unless he sacrifices the entire Demon Race, Old Sun won't teach him for free."
Sun Kong chuckled secretly.
And then, thinking that the system had given him what the Demonic Sage had lost, one-tenth of the Demonic Sage's current cultivation and one-tenth of the Demonic Sage's current Super Demonic Path Value.
He became even happier, flying with joy!
The former, even if it was only converted to 1%, was still good.
The latter, again, involved something Sun Kong hadn't managed to accomplish back then, which caused him a headache and sighs, but also made him even more expectant of this Journey to the West, imbued with the Buff of the conflict between the Dao and Demonic paths!
...
At this time.
Others, such as Primordial Heavenly Venerable, Grandmaster of Heaven, and so on, couldn't discern too many secrets about Sun Kong, only feeling that his potential was boundless!
Seeing that the new Six-Eared Macaque and others had been soundly defeated, and although Sun Kong had some internal injuries due to overexertion, it was not a big deal.
Grandmaster of Heaven, having obtained the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, dared not delay and returned to Golden Ao Island.
Primordial Heavenly Venerable, on the other hand, lingered for a while longer, visited the new Flower Fruit Mountain and met everyone, and before taking away the Eight Immortals of Chan Sect, he solemnly gave Sun Kong some words of advice.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, the trouble you've stirred up is getting bigger and bigger. This time, you've even brought out the conflict between the Dao and the Demonic path."
"I can't help but admire you."
"However, don't think that with the help of my junior sister Nuwa, you'll be safe and sound. Now, the Demonic Race has thirteen individuals who are suspected Saints, along with that Demonic Sage, the new Six-Eared Macaque, the three ancestors, Grandmaster of Heaven, the Jade Emperor, and so on."
"Your upcoming tribulation will not be easy."
"I hope you will take care of yourself. If you need anything, feel free to find me at any time. I dare not say I can help you 100%, but at least, I can ensure you don't die."
"This is also the entrustment of your mother, junior sister Nuwa!"
After speaking, the heavy-hearted Primordial Heavenly Venerable had no mood to say anything more to Sun Kong and returned to Jade Void Palace with the Eight Immortals of Chan Sect.
He continued to lecture his eight precious disciples, not to mention.
Here, as this matter temporarily came to a conclusion, Zhen Yuanzi and others also stopped lingering. After thanking Sun Kong for the pot of Saint Water Soup he gifted, they returned to their Five Villages Monastery.
Although Zhen Yuanzi didn't say much about helping before leaving, Sun Kong could see that this person was still quite close to him at heart.
Otherwise, why would he have come to help this time when his disciple Qingfeng was almost destroyed in the second tribulation?
Looking around, everyone who should have left had left.
The onlookers had also dispersed.
Looking up at the nine heavens, the anomalous celestial phenomena caused by the conflict between the Dao and Demonic paths had not diminished, but at least, the pressure and dark clouds hanging over the new Flower Fruit Mountain had receded.
Everyone, including Sun Kong, breathed a sigh of relief!
"Second brother, third brother, and all my monkey grandchildren, prepare to welcome the fifth tribulation."
"Under the current circumstances, that fifth tribulation will definitely be strengthened."
As soon as Sun Kong finished speaking.
Before everyone could take formal action.
Suddenly.
After everyone had expressed their stance, the Buddhist congregation of Spirit Mountain, who had not uttered a word, finally spoke!
