155: Chapter 151: Big Melon_2 155: Chapter 151: Big Melon_2 Emperor Jun had clearly also perceived Kunpeng’s intentions.

He said coldly, “Kunpeng, I remind you, I have not deceived you.

If you dare to harm Baize, once I return, there will absolutely be no place for you in the Three Realms.”

Kunpeng’s expression changed, and he snorted coldly, finally abandoning the idea of making a move.

He indeed dreaded Emperor Jun, fearing that upon his return, he would strike at him.

With Emperor Jun’s methods, making him have no place in the Three Realms was not just an empty threat.

“Hmph, watch yourselves.

Don’t come to me for anything in the future.”

Kunpeng also felt angered, he snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Watching Kunpeng’s retreating figure, Emperor Jun’s gaze gradually grew colder.

“Please punish me, Your Majesty, this was my mistake.”

Baize knelt before Emperor Jun.

He clearly understood that Emperor Jun was not unwilling to scold him, but had chosen to save his face in front of Kunpeng.

Thus, Baize took the initiative to admit his guilt and ask for punishment.

Looking deeply at Baize, Emperor Jun said, “I have already said, this matter is not your fault.

Sun Wukong being able to bring me a sense of crisis shows his extraordinariness.

If he could be killed easily, I wouldn’t have felt threatened.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding.”

Baize breathed a sigh of relief.

“Do not act rashly recently, continue to recruit strong allies.

When I return, I want the Three Realms to pay a bloody price.”

Emperor Jun instructed.

“Yes.”

Baize quickly responded.

Once Emperor Jun’s phantom disappeared, Baize finally relaxed.

Sun Wukong.

Baize pondered this name in his heart.

This failure, for him, was absolutely a huge disgrace.

Baize’s expression darkened, he was determined to seek revenge.

As for waiting until Emperor Jun returned, that was out of the question.

If he could not deal with Sun Wukong before Emperor Jun’s return, it would be his, Baize’s, dereliction of duty.

…

Kunpeng returned to his lair, looking at the healing Roc Demon King with disdain.

Indeed, loyal dogs lack capability.

Yet, those truly armed with sharp fangs are not loyal at all.

The betrayal of the Flood Dragon Demon King was absolutely something that angered Kunpeng.

Awakened by Kunpeng’s return, Roc Demon King looked up, stopped his healing, and prepared to salute Kunpeng.

Kunpeng, however, waved his hand dismissively and said faintly, “Never mind me, just focus on your healing and quickly recover from your injuries.”

“Thank you, my lord, for your concern,”

said the Roc Demon King gratefully.

Kunpeng entered a secret chamber, his eyes flickering as he thought of Emperor Jun’s words.

Kunpeng didn’t know whether he should try it or not.

He still hadn’t figured out what secrets lay within the Primordial Demonic Qi.

He only knew that the Primordial Demonic Qi was extremely dangerous.

But, if he could truly refine the Primordial Demonic Qi, not only could his cultivation improve, but he could also become truly immortal.

Grinding his teeth, Kunpeng began to try.

He had obtained the Primordial Demonic Qi from ancient times, but had never found a chance to refine it, making it almost a source of constant anxiety for Kunpeng.

Today, he had to succeed.

With his own soul, he tentatively approached the Primordial Demonic Qi.

“Boom.”

A vast power surged directly into Kunpeng’s soul light.

Kunpeng’s face changed dramatically; he wanted to sever this connection but failed.

The Primordial Demonic Qi instantly invaded his soul, demonizing him.

All sorts of dark and negative emotions flooded into Kunpeng’s soul, destroying his Dao Heart.

“No.”

Kunpeng was overwhelmed with shock and anger.

He loathed Emperor Jun to the extreme, as he had been deceived by him.

But now, it was too late for regrets.

With the Primordial Demonic Qi in his body, Kunpeng was clearly affected by its negative energy, and he was sinking into darkness.

He attempted to use his mana to expel the Primordial Demonic Qi.

But, to Kunpeng’s horror, he found that he couldn’t even mobilize his own mana.

It’s over.

This thought flashed through his mind as he completely succumbed to the darkness.

Outside, Roc Demon King, puzzled, looked toward the secret chamber,

He sensed a change in Kunpeng but did not know what exactly had happened.

Just a moment ago, an aura of demonic nature had made his heart skip a beat, as if some terrifying existence was about to emerge.

“The master won’t be in trouble, will he?”

Roc Demon King thought to himself in the dark.

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Kunpeng opened his eyes.

Expressionless, he walked out of the secret chamber, his body swirling with a more potent Demonic Qi than before.

Roc Demon King shuddered, not knowing why, but the sight of Kunpeng at this moment sent a chill through his heart.

Kunpeng glanced at him, then waved his hand, casting a beam of Demonic Light that entered Roc Demon King’s body.

The injuries within Roc Demon King’s body healed rapidly, and his cultivation level even seemed to improve, almost stepping into the Heavenly Venerate realm.

This overjoyed Roc Demon King, who quickly knelt on the ground and thanked Kunpeng.

“Thank you, master, for healing your subordinate.”

Kunpeng glanced at him, then said indifferently, “Go gather strong fighters for me.

I want to officially emerge and dominate the Three Realms.”

Roc Demon King was momentarily stunned, then he revealed an ecstatic expression.

He had always wanted Kunpeng to step into the limelight, but Kunpeng had been reluctant all this time.

It seemed a waste to Roc Demon King for someone of Kunpeng’s strength to engage in these minor maneuvers behind the scenes.

He should step forward and become the sovereign of heaven and earth, a role befitting Kunpeng’s strength.

Now, Kunpeng finally realized and desired to dominate the world.

Roc Demon King immediately said, “Yes, rest assured, master.

I guarantee within ten days to gather a group of strong subordinates for you.”

Utterly confident, as a Great Saint of the Demon Clan, gathering some strong warriors was fairly easy for him.

Kunpeng nodded and reentered the secret chamber.

Although Roc Demon King found Kunpeng’s transformation a bit strange, it was the change he had always desired.

Seeing Kunpeng enter the secret chamber, he immediately took action.

This time, Roc Demon King was exceptionally high-profile, directly gathering strong fighters under Kunpeng’s command.

Not only did demons seek to join, but also some loose immortals and Buddhist Sect disciples.

Among them were some Celestial Immortals, all considered powerful.

There were also Demonic Cultivators, their bodies seething with menacing evil Qi.

But, Roc Demon King did not turn any away.

When Sun Wukong received this news, his expression turned somewhat peculiar.

“Could it be that Kunpeng’s brain was damaged last time, now coming into the open?

He’s gathering high-level fighters; is it for dominating the Three Realms?”

Sun Wukong pondered, feeling something was amiss.

Kunpeng wasn’t that kind of person, of this much he was certain.

What the other sought was immortality.

Kunpeng had no interest in dominating the Three Realms.

“Great Sage, shall we go check it out?”

Lu Dongbin asked.

He was itching to try.

Having benefited greatly from a previous encounter with an ancient Demon, Lu Dongbin now craved combat.

Only by fighting with his peers could he improve his strength.

Sun Wukong thought for a moment and then said with a smile, “We might as well take a look.

I’m curious to see what Kunpeng is up to.”

“Great Sage, take me with you.

I’m very familiar with the Southern Continent.”

Fan Yao quickly said.

Only by going out with the Great Sage could one witness grand scenes.

Immortal Maiden He Xiangu also looked eager and said, “I want to go along too.”

“That’s fine.”

Sun Wukong nodded.

As they were preparing to depart, Bai Yu came to report, informing Sun Wukong that he had an esteemed guest seeking an audience.

“Nu Ba.”

With a sweep of his Divine Thought, Sun Wukong knew who it was.

He couldn’t help but frown, somewhat reluctant to meet.

Thus, Sun Wukong did not respond.

“Stinky monkey, what are you hesitating for?

Don’t want to see me?”

Nu Ba’s voice came through, laden with intense dissatisfaction.

She had scanned with her Divine Thought and knew of Sun Wukong’s hesitation, thus feeling slighted.

Was she so frightening that the monkey didn’t want to see her?

Thinking this, Nu Ba scoffed and disdainfully said, “I can’t believe you’re the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

We were just husband and wife for a lifetime.

What’s there to be embarrassed about?

I don’t care about it, so why are you so concerned?”

The residents of Huaguo Mountain were all shocked.

Their gazes fell on Sun Wukong.

This was big news about the Great Sage.

The fire of gossip burned fiercely in the hearts of Lu Dongbin and the others.
