Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Flicked Away with One Finger (4th Update)

“No need to go, Sun Wukong is fine!”

A faint voice suddenly rang out beside them. The Six-Eared Macaque and his companions were startled and hastily turned to assume a defensive position towards the source of the voice. What they saw was a demonic male of the Demon Race with purple hair, standing a few yards away, gazing at them profoundly. It was none other than the Demon Ancestor Lou Hu.

And Sun Wukong was tucked under Lou Hu’s armpit.

“Boss!”

“Brother Wukong!”

The Six-Eared Macaque and his companions fixed their eyes on Sun Wukong. The Six-Eared Macaque, known for his volatile temper, became anxious at the sight of the unconscious Wukong and, with a loud shout, charged at Lou Hu, lifting his Heaven-supporting Iron Staff to strike.

Facing the attack of the Six-Eared Macaque, Lou Hu’s expression remained unchanged. Just as the Heaven-supporting Iron Staff was about to hit him, he leisurely extended a finger and touched the staff.

Hum~!

Silently, as if plunging into a quagmire, the iron staff was bound by an invisible force and stopped a foot away from Lou Hu. The next moment, Lou Hu’s finger touched the staff, and with a light sound, the Six-Eared Macaque was sent flying back faster than he had charged forward, his staff flung away and deeply embedded in the ground at a distance.

“Six-Eared!”

Bull Demon King and Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan were shocked. They hurriedly rushed to help the Six-Eared Macaque and, seeing that he had no injuries but was merely thrown away, they breathed a sigh of relief. Their gaze towards Lou Hu was full of astonishment. Who was this purple-haired man and how was he so strong? He had flicked the Six-Eared Macaque away with just a fingertip!

“Not bad in strength! But far behind the youngster Sun! Little monkey, your ancestor was still not done talking and you already started fighting, aren’t you too rash?”

Having flicked the Six-Eared Macaque away with just a finger, Lou Hu, seemingly regarding it as a trivial matter, smirked and threw Sun Wukong towards Bull Demon King and his companions, who quickly caught him. After a quick check, they again breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he had only passed out. The meridians in his body suffered some damage but seemed to be healing rapidly. There should be no major issues.

“Esteemed senior, may I ask who you are?”

The Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan stood up, bowed to Lou Hu, and asked. Although every member of the Demon Race had heard of Lou Hu’s renown, his fame was from the Primeval Era, and very few had seen his true face. Therefore, even Mu Chenxuan did not recognize that the purple-haired man standing before him was Lou Hu, who was using the physical body of the Jidu Demon Emperor, though his appearance and aura had significantly changed.

“You are Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, right? Jidu’s memory holds quite a bit about you. Not bad, not bad at all, to have escaped being sealed within the stellar spiritual Qi, you’ve had quite the fortune!”

Lou Hu looked at the Jidu Demon Emperor, nodding appreciatively. His tone was like that of an elder appraising a junior, which was indeed the case, given Lou Hu’s seniority and stature. Even in Mu Chenxuan’s eyes, he was certainly a junior.

“Jidu’s memory? Could it be…”

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan suddenly remembered something, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Demon Ancestor Luo Hu in astonishment; he had guessed the identity of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu!

“Have you guessed it? It seems you are much smarter than I thought!”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu laughed, “You’ve done quite a bit to resurrect me, you’ve worked hard!”

From the memories of the Jidu Demon Emperor, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu had gotten a comprehensive understanding of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan. In terms of how to deal with the statue of the Demon God containing Luo Hu’s lifebound primordial spirit, the ideas of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and Jidu Demon Emperor were totally different.

Jidu Demon Emperor wanted to absorb the primordial spirit of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu to attain the insights Luo Hu had about the Great Dao of the heaven and earth, thereby ascending himself further to prove the Tao and become a Demon Saint. But Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan was different; he hoped that Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, the ancestor of all demons, could be resurrected and lead the Demon Race back to glory. He was well aware that power obtained by absorbing others’ insights wouldn’t truly belong to him and would be severely flawed. Thinking of achieving sainthood through such means was excessively fantastical!

If proving the Tao and becoming a saint were so easily achieved through shortcuts, then from the ancient primeval to now, the Demon Race wouldn’t have only produced Demon Ancestor Luo Hu as a Demon Saint!

It was precisely because of this significant disagreement and that Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan’s strength and power completely surpassed Jidu Demon Emperor, that Jidu Demon Emperor harbored resentment and secretly plotted the conspiracy against Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan. He reached an agreement with the Grand Master Xuandu of the Heavenly Court in the Three Realms, to attack during their battle along with Guang Chengzi, severely injuring Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and sealing him within the stellar spiritual Qi sphere of the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation.

It could be said, the ordeal of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan being sealed for over a thousand years had a deep connection with Demon Ancestor Luo Hu; therefore, facing Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu appeared quite friendly.

However, to Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, these words of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu sounded like thunderclaps, almost stunning him!

His guess was correct! The purple-haired man with unfathomable power before him was indeed Demon Ancestor Luo Hu!

“Mu Chenxuan pays his respects to Demon Ancestor!”

Immediately, Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan suppressed the shock in his heart, not hesitating at all as he knelt on one knee, performing a subordinate’s salutation to Demon Ancestor Luo Hu. After a pause, he looked up and asked, “Demon Ancestor, is this physical body Jidu’s?”

“Yes!”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu nodded, “Jidu wanted to absorb my lifebound primordial spirit, but instead, I ended up possessing his body. Speaking of which, I should thank him. If it weren’t for this body of his, it would have been uncertain how many years I’d have to wait to see the light of day again!”

“So, has that Jidu guy already been punished by you?”

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan swallowed nervously.

“His soul dispersed, his spirit shattered; from this world, there shall no longer be a person known as Jidu Demon Emperor!”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu nodded, and Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan felt a chill in his heart. Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, rightfully the ancestor of all demons, indeed dealt his blows harshly–taking over Jidu Demon Emperor’s body and not sparing even his primordial spirit!

However, it was also Jidu Demon Emperor’s own fault; Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan would not have spared him either, it’s just a pity that he was not able to personally avenge himself against that bastard!
