"A mere monkey dares to speak of annihilating the Phoenix Clan? Ridiculous, do you think you are the Ancestral Dragon?"
The Primordial Phoenix was furious.
She didn’t take Sun Wukong seriously, even though his strength could match one of her Dao Bodies.
But if she were to come in person, she would surely be able to suppress Sun Wukong and even kill him.
How proud was the Primordial Phoenix, the first phoenix since the Creation of Heaven and Earth, no living beings between heaven and earth besides the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan could catch her eye.
At that time, there were very few who could make the Phoenix Clan take notice.
Sun Wukong did not get angry. He just smiled faintly and said, "Times have changed, this is not your era anymore. Old Sun is now a good friend of the Supreme of the Three Realms. All the top powerhouses in heaven and earth call me brother, and I can mobilize at least half of the open forces. Is it difficult to exterminate your Phoenix Clan?"
The Primordial Phoenix was shocked, scarcely believing what she heard. Her Phoenix Eyes stared at Sun Wukong. Was he that formidable?
"Right, I wonder, compared to the Eastern King, who is more powerful? Today, the Eastern King owes me a favor. If I ask him to make a move against the Phoenix lineage, I believe it won’t be a problem."
The Primordial Phoenix trembled. The Eastern King was a powerhouse of the Supreme level in the Three Realms.
If Sun Wukong could indeed request the Eastern King to act, the Primordial Phoenix was not confident she could defeat the Eastern King.
In later generations, aside from the Jade Emperor, the Eastern King was the true powerhouse that the Primordial Phoenix and hers feared.
The rest, she was not too worried about.
Seeing Sun Wukong’s sneer, the Primordial Phoenix became somewhat angry. She stared at Sun Wukong and said, "Do you think I’m afraid of the Eastern King? If you dare, ask him to make a move."
Sun Wukong was speechless. This Primordial Phoenix spoke like an angry little girl, completely irrational.
A leader of a great clan should not be .
Such petulant words were frankly a bit laughable when spoken.
Sun Wukong said indifferently, "With your current state, you’re not worthy of me calling upon the Eastern King. Are you going to fight or not? If not, then scram."
The Primordial Phoenix snorted coldly. She didn’t attack Sun Wukong but instead rushed towards Huaguo Mountain.
Sun Wukong, who had been watching her every move, panicked when he saw the Primordial Phoenix’s actions.
He caught up with the Primordial Phoenix almost instantly at his fastest speed.
The next moment, he surpassed her, blocking her path.
And her attack landed, blocked by Sun Wukong.
It was close, her attack was just about to strike Huaguo Mountain.
Although the defenses of Huaguo Mountain were strong with Sun Wukong’s methods, even if the Primordial Phoenix’s attack landed, they wouldn’t be easily breached.
But the Primordial Phoenix’s actions had enraged Sun Wukong.
"Primordial Phoenix, you’re out of line. Believe it or not, Old Sun will now kill your Dharma Body and then go and slay your other son, the peacock," Sun Wukong said icily.
The Primordial Phoenix’s eyes narrowed as she stared at Sun Wukong and said coldly, "You dare."
"There’s nothing in the world Old Sun dares not do. If you dare to destroy Old Sun’s home, Old Sun will annihilate your Phoenix lineage. If you don’t believe me, you can try," Sun Wukong snarled menacingly.
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Primordial Phoenix’s face turned ashen.
Sun Wukong stared at the Primordial Phoenix, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.
He was truly enraged, provoked by the Primordial Phoenix’s actions.
At this moment, Sun Wukong was not just making empty threats. He would truly do as he said.
The Primordial Phoenix stared back at Sun Wukong, sensing his emotions.
A chill suddenly rose in her heart. Only then did she realize she wasn’t fully returned. If Sun Wukong decided to target the peacock, no one could protect him.
She was annoyed. As her son, he had only this much ability; until now, he was still just at the Heavenly Venerate Realm, which was shameful to speak of.
It wasn’t that her bloodline wasn’t strong enough, but that the peacock was too lazy himself.
"Hmph, just you wait," the Primordial Phoenix said, then turned and left.
Sun Wukong watched the direction in which the Primordial Phoenix left, then let out a deep sigh of relief.
He frowned, wondering what the appearance of the Primordial Phoenix signified. Hadn’t the progenitors of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin perished in ancient times?
If the Primordial Phoenix had returned, did it mean that the originator of the qilin and the Ancestral Dragon were also about to return?
Once these three formidable species returned, what kind of impact would it have on the world?
Sun Wukong took a deep breath. What on earth was about to happen to this world?
Powerhouses from various eras were converging, ancient gods from beyond the heavens wanted to return, and now the once mighty species were on the verge of coming back.
He could hardly imagine what chaos would ensue if those gods and demons appeared together. What would become of this era?
The Three Realms were not small, but neither were they vast. They could not withstand such turmoil.
Sun Wukong returned to inside Huaguo Mountain, where Fan Yao was by himself.
All the others had gone out, stationed in various places, guarding the followers of the Great Sage Sect.
With the Jade Emperor executed, the Court of Ancient Gods was not so arrogant anymore; many from the Demon Clan were no longer as overbearing as before, they had quieted down.
But the Three Realms were far from peaceful, demons still plagued the common people.
Now the dynasties of the Southern Continent were coming to an end, much shorter than before.
Warlords ran rampant, demons flourished, a scene of utter chaos.
In just over a decade, the Human Race had decreased by at least thirty percent.
This was dangerous. If the reduction exceeded fifty percent, the ancient gods from beyond the skies might be able to return.
