This is Ancient Gods and Devils, realism in its extreme.
As for tying them down with so-called righteousness, sorry, they don’t have any.
Beyond their thoughts, in a sense, Ancient Gods and Devils are purely self-interested, absolute egoists, hardly any different from beasts.
No, they are even more greedy than beasts, always wanting more.
Dragon Hawk Ancestor’s face turned dark.
The outcome caught him off guard.
He had assumed that, by speaking those words, at least a few Ancient Gods and Devils would make a move.
Even if just two or three Great Heavenly Venerates joined in, the battle would have been much easier.
Instead, they backed away at the first opportunity, without a hint of hesitation.
This almost provoked Dragon Hawk Ancestor to curse out loud.
Too infuriating, as if wanting to obliterate them all.
"You all stand by indifferently, watching us get surrounded and killed by beings of later generations; you won’t end well either," Dragon Hawk Ancestor roared.
Still, no one paid him any attention, and everyone backed away even further.
Even an Ancient God shouted, "We are also living beings of the Three Realms, willing to abide by the rules of Heaven. Surely the Heavenly Court won’t lay hands on us good citizens. Right, Great Sage Equalling Heaven, if you need help, we can also lend a hand, help you take down those crooks, consider it our contribution to the Heavenly Court."
"That’s right, Great Sage Equalling Heaven, just speak up if you need help, we’re absolutely cooperative."
"The Heavenly Court and us good citizens will join forces to create a harmonious Three Realms."
"Wealth, peace, friendship, and dedication are key to our rise."
A group of Ancient Gods spoke righteously, but not a single one offered help.
Sun Wukong was somewhat speechless. Is this what Ancient Gods and Devils amounted to?
"Shut up, a bunch of trash. You were trash during the Primordial era, still trash now, worthless as ever," Dragon Hawk Ancestor suddenly cursed loudly.
Clearly, he was provoked by those Ancient Gods and couldn’t hold back any longer.
Those Ancient Gods just sneered, not caring in the least.
During the Primordial era, they had faced much harsher provocations than just a few curses.
To them, this was nothing.
"Are you done talking?" Sun Wukong stared at Dragon Hawk Ancestor.
Sun Wukong didn’t wait for Dragon Hawk Ancestor to respond and took the initiative.
He closed in on Dragon Hawk Ancestor and threw a punch toward his face.
An enormous mana gathered on his fist, reaching an extreme intensity.
Dragon Hawk Ancestor sneered. He wanted to engage in close combat with him? Was this monkey’s brain broken?
Didn’t he know that during the Primordial era, close combat was the strongest of all eras?
At that time, spells weren’t as prevalent; most relied on innate Divine Skills, and besides that, close combat was the rule of the day.
Dragon Hawk considered his own combat skills, in that era, were within the top five hundred. He was certainly formidable, among the top-tier combat skills between Heaven and Earth.
Sun Wukong wanting to beat him in close combat was nearly impossible.
He, too, launched a punch, his fist filled with tremendous mana.
Seeing this, Nezha and others hardly had the heart to watch.
They knew, Dragon Hawk was doomed.
Taking on Sun Wukong in close combat was way too overconfident for him.
Sun Wukong’s physical body and combat skills were among the best in the Three Realms.
Their fists collided, terrible mana erupting between them.
Sun Wukong stepped back. He let out a light yell, and then surged forward again.
While Dragon Hawk Ancestor felt his blood roiling, almost to the point of vomiting.
A feeling of shock involuntarily rose in his heart. This monkey had terrifying physical strength.
Fortunately, he had a certain advantage in mana.
Otherwise, Sun Wukong’s blow would have definitely injured him.
As Sun Wukong approached again, Dragon Hawk Ancestor was forced to parry.
The two clashed in close combat, colliding hundreds of times in an instant.
Dragon Hawk Ancestor coughed up blood. He knew something was wrong; he had underestimated this Sun Wukong.
Although slightly inferior in mana, his overall strength was exceedingly formidable.
In close combat, he was no match for Sun Wukong and was bound to be defeated.
This made him panic a bit, wanting to create distance for a battle of Immortal Techniques.
He didn’t believe that Sun Wukong could surpass him in Immortal Techniques if his martial arts were so high.
The mere difference in mana alone allowed him to suppress Sun Wukong.
But, Sun Wukong wasn’t going to give him that chance.
As Dragon Hawk Ancestor tried to distance himself, Sun Wukong closed the gap, disregarding Dragon Hawk Ancestor’s burst of power, any minor injury was of no consequence to him.
His Undying Body would recover from any injury quickly.
Dragon Hawk Ancestor was being overpowered by Sun Wukong, retreating all the way.
This left the Ancient Gods and Devils watching in astonishment, with some finding the scene before them hard to believe.
Dragon Hawk Ancestor was a Sub-Paramount level fighter, but it was clear he was not Sun Wukong’s match.
In such a short time, he was already this injured.
Every ten steps, he coughed blood, his attacks becoming increasingly powerless.
After a hundred moves, Sun Wukong clenched his fist, piercing through Dragon Hawk Ancestor’s chest.
The next moment, he pulled out the Jingu Bang from his ear, which expanded to its usual length with a flick, and smashed it down on the already heavily wounded Dragon Hawk Ancestor.
A figure of Sub-Paramount stature was instantly reduced to a pulp.
This scene stunned all the Ancient Gods and Devils present.
They had heard about Sun Wukong slaying Tianming and thought it was just luck, plus, Sun Wukong had an assistant.
Now Sun Wukong, in front of their eyes, had killed a Sub-Paramount.
They suddenly found themselves speechless, nothing but shock left to express.
