The Earth Demon God frantically parried.
He only managed to release a stream of Demonic Qi before Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang smashed down on his head.
The Demonic Qi shattered, and the Jingu Bang struck directly on the chest of the Earth Demon God.
The mighty Earth Demon God, who reigned supreme in the Three Realms for countless years, was now sent flying, his plight as pathetic as could be.
He screamed loudly, his body riddled with cracks.
His fierce eyes glared at Sun Wukong, as fresh blood hemorrhaged from him as if it cost him nothing.
That blow just now almost completely shattered him.
Sun Wukong showed no mercy and pursued immediately.
He swung the Jingu Bang in a full circle, aiming it at the Earth Demon God.
Even the mighty Earth Demon God screamed at that moment.
But the Jingu Bang didn’t pause for an instant and struck his head directly.
At this moment, Sun Wukong’s Mana surged to its pinnacle.
The skull of the Earth Demon God cracked open, and blood splattered.
His Primordial Spirit attempted an escape, trying to evade this certain death.
But Sun Wukong was well-prepared and didn’t give him the chance, seizing the Earth Demon God’s Primordial Spirit with one hand and then using the Samadhi True Fire.
The Primordial Spirit of the Earth Demon God screamed miserably, reaching the utmost extent of terror.
He very well knew Sun Wukong was out to kill him outright.
Under the burning of the Samadhi True Fire, the Earth Demon God’s Primordial Spirit didn’t last long.
In just a moment, the Primordial Spirit of the Earth Demon God dissipated.
At this time, within the Demon Realm, a terrifying gaze opened and stared through the barriers of the Three Realms, settling upon Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong abruptly turned around, his face full of alertness, staring back at that gaze.
Even someone as strong as Sun Wukong began to feel uneasy.
That gaze was just too powerful, to the point of being terrifying.
That kind of pressure, he had only experienced it from the Jade Emperor before.
A force on par with the Supreme Beings of the Three Realms, yet not belonging to the Three Realms.
Sun Wukong muttered a name.
His killing of the Earth Demon God had been sensed by Tian Hao of the Demon Realm.
At this moment, Great Emperor Ziwei suddenly stood up, stepping forward, and the next instant, he was beside Sun Wukong.
Then, Great Emperor Ziwei confronted that gaze, radiating a vast and august presence.
The whole universe of the Three Realms resonated with Great Emperor Ziwei, his Qi merging with it to counter the opposing momentum.
"Tian Hao, what do you intend to do? The Three Realms are my domain, it’s not your place to run wild here."
Great Emperor Ziwei declared loudly, his tone filled with discontent.
He did not know what had happened, but Tian Hao was an outsider; whatever the matter, it had to be Tian Hao’s fault, and dealing with Tian Hao was the right course of action.
The intensity of Tian Hao’s gaze increased, which even made Great Emperor Ziwei feel the pressure.
However, his Qi also climbed higher.
As a Supreme Being of the Three Realms, his dignity was unquestionable.
After about a quarter of an hour standoff, Tian Hao withdrew his Qi, the terrifying gaze retreated, no longer focusing on the Three Realms.
Great Emperor Ziwei also withdrew his gaze, heaving a sigh of relief, a fine sheen of sweat on his forehead.
Not being afraid was one thing, but whether he could defeat him was another.
His strength was still not on par with Tian Hao.
With this in mind, Great Emperor Ziwei couldn’t help but smile wryly; he indeed lived up to being the weakest Supreme Being of the Three Realms, as Shao Siming had called him.
His gaze falling on Sun Wukong, Great Emperor Ziwei spoke with some surprise, "How did you manage to provoke Tian Hao?"
Sun Wukong pointed at a corpse; he smiled without a word.
Great Emperor Ziwei recognized it and then his face showed shock.
In surprise, he said, "This is the Earth Demon God, you actually took down the Earth Demon God?"
Great Emperor Ziwei couldn’t believe it; the Earth Demon God had lived since the beginning of creation, and such an old monster was the hardest to kill.
Even someone stronger than the Earth Demon God might not necessarily be able to bring him down.
Yet Sun Wukong had slain the Earth Demon God, how did he achieve that?
No wonder Tian Hao was furious, sensing the disturbance from across the Demon Realm, focusing on Sun Wukong.
If it were him, he would probably have reacted in the same manner.
If such a powerful subordinate was killed and Tian Hao showed no reaction, that would be truly abnormal.
"He was careless, wanting to capture Truth Listening but was instead tricked by Truth Listening and me working together, fortunately leading to his downfall."
Sun Wukong said somewhat modestly.
He was very aware that slaying the Earth Demon God did indeed involve some luck.
What kind of existence was the Earth Demon God? He had survived from ancient times with extreme caution.
If it weren’t for his long tenure at a high position making him less vigilant.
And he absolutely hadn’t expected Sun Wukong to be so cunning, using Truth Listening as bait, and after fooling him twice, he let his guard down the third time, resulting in Sun Wukong’s successful ambush.
Had it been just that, Sun Wukong would still have been unable to kill the Earth Demon God.
But he also secretly called Fahai back to block the Earth Demon God’s escape.
If Fahai had been slightly less powerful, he would have been unable to detain the Earth Demon God.
So, without any of these factors, the Earth Demon God would have escaped.
And killing the Earth Demon God would have been impossible.
When Sun Wukong called it luck, he truly wasn’t just being modest.
"Having slain the Earth Demon God, you have done a great service and have also lifted a weight off my mind."
Great Emperor Ziwei said with a smile.
Having such a powerful Demon Lord from the Demon Realm within the Three Realms, it was naturally worrisome for Great Emperor Ziwei.
However, given his immense strength, it was difficult to defeat him.
Most importantly, the Heavenly Court did possess the strength to take down the Earth Demon God, but it required planning and knowledge of his whereabouts.
That was incredibly hard to accomplish.
Thus, the Earth Demon God had become a nagging concern for Great Emperor Ziwei.
