Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 313 - 302: Bearing Shadows and Embracing Light
Luo Chen, who had already been suppressing his anger, lost his last shred of reason to the engulfing fury when he saw Sun Wukong smile while uttering that sentence. His right hand gripping the sword hilt tightened, and by the look of it, he seemed intent on a direct throat slash. Even though Sun Wukong couldn’t see the blade of Luo Chen’s sword, the sharp aura it emanated was still perceptible.
Just as Luo Chen made his move, Sun Wukong’s feet shifted slightly, and he appeared at Luo Chen’s side as if he had traveled through space, causing Luo Chen’s sword strike to miss its target naturally. However, while Luo Chen’s strike missed, Sun Wukong’s counterattack landed solidly on Luo Chen.
Simultaneously with his appearance by Luo Chen’s side, Sun Wukong’s right fist, wrapped in Chaos Aura, smashed viciously into Luo Chen’s abdomen. Almost with the speed of a normal person’s thought process, Sun Wukong had completed his counterattack as Luo Chen was striking. With a retching sound, a mouthful of blood spurted from Luo Chen’s mouth, indicating that Sun Wukong’s punch was without the slightest restraint.
Seeing that Sun Wukong had not only broken free from the restraint of a few people nearby but also injured Luo Chen, everyone from Genesis Divine Nation immediately flew into a rage, drawing their weapons and preparing to swarm Sun Wukong. However, Jue Luan and Qian Shang simultaneously raised their hands to stop those beside them, and the people from Netherworld World were also on alert, quickly stepping forward to surround Sun Wukong on all sides, placing Sun Wukong and Luo Chen at the center.
For a moment, the scene became tense, with allies who had been closely cooperating just a moment ago now nearly crossing swords with each other. However, at this time, Xi Zhao and the Rogue Heart Sword Hero gestured to the people of the Netherworld World to stand down. Following Xi Zhao’s command, everyone, including the Flame God and the Five Great War Generals, slowly backed away.
Seeing Jue Luan’s actions, the people of Genesis Divine Nation did not pursue further, and they slowly retreated as well as the former did. In fact, neither Genesis nor Netherworld was willing to fight at this moment. Not only was everyone extremely exhausted from the recent battle, but after the battle in Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, they could all be considered comrades-in-arms.
Just a moment ago, they had been defending each other, and now, they were on the verge of crossing swords. This was something no one wanted to face or have happen. However, Luo Chen was an exception. As the sharp pain from Sun Wukong’s punch to his abdomen made him double over, the sword in his hand, which could hardly be considered a sword without a blade, swung directly at Sun Wukong’s legs.
But after Luo Chen swung his arm, the image of Sun Wukong in front of him vanished, and suddenly, the sound of rushing wind came from behind. Luo Chen wanted to dodge, but it was too late. He was inherently Earth Attribute, skilled in defense and offense, but relatively weak in speed.
Then, Sun Wukong, standing behind Luo Chen, delivered a knee strike directly to the side of Luo Chen’s head. This blow was much stronger than the previous punch, hurling Luo Chen through the air, causing him to tumble and crash heavily against an ancient tree nearby. He shattered seven or eight large trees before finally coming to a halt.
"You know why I said I couldn’t give the Heavenly Stele to you? Because you’re too weak! With your strength, do you think you can protect the World Suppressing Stele?" Sun Wukong said and took a step forward, but as his foot touched the ground, he appeared in front of Luo Chen, who lay on the ground.
Looking down at Luo Chen on the ground, a scornful smile crept onto Sun Wukong’s lips. Luo Chen, who had already been enraged, now felt an unprecedented humiliation. This humiliation stirred the hatred that had always been buried deep within his heart.

Back when he was the Crown Prince of the Dominion of Soil, he stood above others, his exceptional talent making him the pride of the Dominion of Soil. But ever since that cataclysmic war, since he witnessed his father being killed by those Domain Lords, something indescribable had taken root in Luo Chen’s heart.
However, he didn’t lose his senses to hatred. Instead, after accepting reality, he stayed with the Genesis Divine Nation and quickly became the disciple of the Domain Lord Xiao He thanks to his extraordinary talents. Decades of life and cultivation buried the hatred in his heart. Over time, his strength grew until he became a Peak Supreme. Yet he knew that his enemies were Domain Lords, the true pinnacle figures of this universe.
He had always been confident that with persistence and patience, he would one day succeed in his revenge. Therefore, he had spared no effort in his search for the Earth Attribute World Suppressing Stele No. 3.
At last, on this day, he had seen the Stele that once belonged to his father. But damn it, that thief who stole the Stele had no intention of handing it over? And he, Luo Chen, was beaten without the power to fight back? How could Luo Chen accept this?
"Angry, humiliated? Do you feel like something that should have been yours was stolen by someone else? Do you know why this happened? All of this is because you’re not strong enough! If you were stronger, you could have defeated me and taken the World Suppressing Stele for yourself. But the reality is, you simply can’t!"
No sooner had Sun Wukong finished speaking than a dangerously sharp momentum burst forth from Luo Chen, who lay on the ground. It was as if this energy concealed millions of sharp swords, leveling all the trees, rocks, and even the ground within a twenty-meter radius. However, Sun Wukong remained completely unharmed. Around him, a grey energy shield enveloped his body, blocking all of the sharp auras.
"Shadow bearing light, all beings doomed!" A deep voice, mixed with traces of madness, slowly emerged from Luo Chen’s mouth. The moment Luo Chen spoke, the first to react was not Sun Wukong but those from the Genesis Divine Nation standing outside the forest. As they heard Luo Chen’s words, their expressions changed, and they immediately started pulling people next to them, retreating towards Yuan Fang.
Among these people were Jue Luan and Qian Shang; those pulled by the Genesis people from the Netherworld, confused, began to voice their questions, while Xi Zhao and a few others were equally puzzled. Why were those who were preparing to protect Luo Chen now retreating to the periphery?
"What’s happening, Jue Luan?" Xi Zhao couldn’t help but ask out loud. Jue Luan glanced back at Luo Chen and Sun Wukong and spoke in a low voice, "Although I’m not sure what that person named Sun Wukong is planning, Luo Chen is indeed going all out. That sword of his is a very special weapon; once it’s fully wielded, it doesn’t discriminate between friend and foe! We just don’t want anyone to get accidentally injured. I can tell, Sun Wukong, he has his reasons!"
Hearing Jue Luan’s words, Xi Zhao nodded. Although Luo Chen seemed to be about to unleash a powerful ultimate move, he had more confidence in Sun Wukong. He also vaguely sensed that something might have gone wrong with the World Suppressing Stele, otherwise, based on his understanding of Sun Wukong, such actions would not have been taken.
While the people from Genesis and the Netherworld retreated to the outskirts, Luo Chen, standing in another part of the forest, was slowly getting to his feet. Due to the recent explosion of sharp momentum, the area they occupied had now become a clearing. "Sun Wukong, you will pay for your words! You might be strong, but you should not have angered me!" With that, the sword hilt Luo Chen held in his right hand suddenly flashed with cold light, and Sun Wukong caught a glimpse of the shadow of a long sword.
Sun Wukong’s fiery eyes had evolved to the top level, allowing him to see throughout the universe. Yet, even so, he could only catch a brief shadow before it vanished. It seemed that the weapon in Luo Chen’s hand was indeed very strange. Just as the cold light flashed on the sword hilt, Luo Chen’s body suddenly spun on the spot, his sword hilt pointing directly at Sun Wukong.
Then, Sun Wukong suddenly felt a chilling palpitation, a sign of extreme danger that arises only in the face of immediate threat. This made Sun Wukong take the situation seriously, as any move that caused such a strong sense of crisis in him was decidedly extraordinary. Since he could neither see the attack with the naked eye nor sense it, Sun Wukong had no idea of the strength of this offensive.
If he didn’t know the strength of the attack, Sun Wukong naturally wouldn’t rashly defend against it. With a slight tremor in his body, Sun Wukong had already crossed through space, appearing about two meters behind Luo Chen. But just as he appeared, Luo Chen, as if anticipating this, didn’t look back and transformed his hand into a blade, slashing towards the area behind him.

Sun Wukong’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ducked, squatting down while his figure flashed again, having already crossed through space to appear about ten meters to Luo Chen’s left.
As soon as Sun Wukong’s figure materialized, Luo Chen’s left hand suddenly pointed at him. Then he raised his arm, causing Sun Wukong’s expression to change slightly. With a twist of his waist, he somersaulted away from his standing position. Facing Luo Chen’s bizarre attacks, unseen and unfelt, Sun Wukong found them to be both thorny and headache-inducing.
If he couldn’t deter Luo Chen with overwhelming strength, then everything he had done before would have been meaningless. With this thought, Sun Wukong made a decision. His body didn’t even touch the ground; he vanished midair, and this time, he appeared right in front of Luo Chen.
Regarding Sun Wukong’s sudden appearance, Luo Chen was clearly astonished, but his movements didn’t slow down. He tossed the hilt of the sword upwards, then brought his palms together fiercely. At the same moment, another wave of intense crisis washed over Sun Wukong, but as if oblivious, he did not respond to it. Instead, he stepped forward half a step, clenched his left fist, and struck towards Luo Chen’s head.
Was Sun Wukong actually planning for them both to perish together?
