Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 490 - 473: Flame God Arrives

Listening to that voice, Sun Wukong already knew who it was. As soon as the voice faded, everyone saw the originally surging purple-gold flames shake a few times before slowly diminishing. As everyone's gaze turned toward the cave, the erupting purple-gold flames seemed to be sucked back by some immense force, completely curling back into the cave.

Then another voice rang out, "Yo ho, the Flame God has arrived, pay attention, the Fire Phoenix is coming out!" With that voice, everyone felt an enormous concentration of the fire element brewing beneath the ground, and in that instant, Old Sand unleashed all his spiritual power, and a black torrent burst from within his body, enveloping everyone. At that moment, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble and the next second, a pillar of celestial fire as thick as rice skyscrapers furiously shot up from the center of the cave.

This pillar of fire looked extremely splendid, with purple-gold and crimson-gold flames coiling around each other like dragons, and as they rose, they spun rapidly, resembling a giant purple-gold and gold alternating drill bit. The originally indestructible walls quickly turned red under the impact of the pillar and then exploded with a bang, as the pillar of fire shot up a kilometer high.

Yet, that was not the end. After the fire pillar had punched a huge hole in the roof of the grand hall, the fire element from below surged and concentrated once more. Following that, a Fire Phoenix with a wingspan of ten meters wide and purple-gold wings, after emitting an exceedingly clear phoenix's cry, ascended slowly with scorching heatwaves in the midst of that fire pillar. Atop the Fire Phoenix's head sat a man with fiery red hair, pupils, eyebrows, and clad in a fiery red phoenix wing armor.

"This Flame God, he must have racked his brains for many days to come up with such a flamboyant entrance," Du Tianyang said with a twist of his mouth as he watched the Flame God make an entrance like the ancestor of a myriad of phoenixes deity of flames. Taking over Du Tianyang's words was Ye Zi, who murmured, "So Grandpa Dao Zhun has another grandson, huh?"

The man sitting atop the Fire Phoenix glanced back at everyone with a cheeky look in his eyes, then raised his hand and pointed to the sky. Following the Flame God's gesture, multiple miniature Fire Phoenixes formed from purple-gold flames appeared before everyone. Although miniature, they still boasted a wingspan of five meters. These Fire Phoenixes then just floated in front of everyone. Being most familiar with the Flame God, Sun Wukong quickly understood the Flame God's intention.

"Don't worry, everyone. Get on the Fire Phoenixes, this person is one of our own!" After speaking, Sun Wukong gestured for Old Sand to dissolve the black, ink-like water that had adhered to everyone, before hopping onto a Fire Phoenix first. The phoenix flapped its wings and soared into the sky. Seeing that Sun Wukong had understood his meaning, the Flame God too slapped his mount and charged out of the now-ruined grand hall.

Subsequently, everyone else also jumped onto the Fire Phoenixes, all heading toward the sky. Once all had ridden the Fire Phoenixes and were midair, the Flame God gestured downward toward the fire pillar. The kilometer-tall fire pillar, as if pressed by an invisible giant hand, shrank rapidly until it was completely suppressed within the damaged palace. Then, the Flame God made a gesture of covering his ears with both hands and looked at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong sighed helplessly, also covering his ears and opening his mouth. The others followed suit, all covering their ears and opening their mouths. Then, with a sly smile, the Flame God whispered, "Burst!" As soon as the word "burst" left the Flame God's mouth, the damaged Myriad Demons Palace below suddenly exploded, and the compressed fire pillar spread like wildfire, swiftly spreading out from the site of the explosion.

Although the sound of the explosion was deafening, it didn't last long; however, the exploding flames crazily swept around. Soon, everyone in midair was dumbfounded because the spreading flames did not burn chaotically, but spread in a specific trajectory. Now, a Phoenix pattern that spanned a kilometer in radius had prominently presented itself beneath everyone's feet.

Under the starry night sky, this massive Phoenix pattern, made entirely of purple-gold and golden flames, looked lifelike, leaving everyone to marvel at its beauty. At that point, the Flame God had already reached Sun Wukong aboard the large Phoenix and said in a provocative tone, "A descendant of the Burst Phoenix Clan, the Flame God arrives late to the rescue. Please punish me, Great Saint!" Sun Wukong was truly both annoyed and amused, replying with a mix of laughter and resignation, "For arriving late to the rescue, you shall be heavily penalized. But a great battle is upon us, so I order you to atone for your fault by using these flames to roast Ling Weiyang!"

Before the Flame God could finish dealing with Sun Wukong, Ye Zi suddenly burst into tears and loudly exclaimed, "I've finally found you, you're my long-lost half-brother with a different mother!" With that, Ye Zi was about to direct her Fire Phoenix toward the Flame God. However, Ye Wu grabbed Ye Zi's collar in one swift motion, while the other hand covered her face.

Sun Wukong, seeing that nobody took it seriously, then raised his hand to stop their jests and said to the Flame God, "First, take everyone to a safe place. We'll discuss the rest later." The Flame God knew this was no time for jokes, and with a pat on his Fire Phoenix, the massive creature fluttered its wings and headed towards the distance. By now, Sun Wukong had realized they had once again fallen for a trap set by the Myriad Demons Country.

But among these people, there should have been no more undercover agents from the Myriad Demons Country. So how had this plan been leaked? Moreover, the night assault on the Myriad Demons Palace had only been decided upon this very morning. Even if there was still an undercover agent who relayed the news to Ling Weiyang at the first chance they got, it wouldn't have been possible to set up so much in such a short time. The Myriad Demons Palace they had encountered before was definitely not an illusion or just an environment—it was an exact replica of the original Myriad Demons Palace.

Though it was a replica, it was indeed a real palace that indeed existed, so much so that even Sun Wukong's Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes couldn't detect anything amiss. Furthermore, the World Suppressing Stele inside this fake Myriad Demons Palace was also a replica. In addition, the location of this artificial palace was not what was marked on the map, but off by nearly a thousand miles. However, it was nighttime, and the nearby terrain had been specifically altered, so unless someone calculated the distance precisely according to the map, they would definitely mistake this for the true Myriad Demons Palace.

Thinking this through, Sun Wukong felt a chilling sensation on his back regarding Ling Weiyang's schemes. It was said before—the replica Myriad Demons Palace and even the changes to the surrounding terrain couldn't have been done overnight; they must have been prepared over a considerable period, aimed at confusing the enemy during a night raid on the Myriad Demons Palace. With this in mind, it seemed Ling Weiyang had long known that they would attempt a night raid on the Myriad Demons Palace?

But how did Ling Weiyang know about it? Xi Zhao had left, and all plans regarding the Netherworld World and Fangcun Spirit Realm were discussed only among Sun Wukong, Ming Wanjie, and Dao Zhun. Even before that, while Xi Zhao was still there, there was no mention of a night raid on the Myriad Demons Palace. Therefore, the only possibility for Ling Weiyang to be so certain they would strike at night was that he himself had orchestrated it.

Of course, there could be other possibilities, perhaps this was all by chance, and the replica Myriad Demons Palace was just a contingency plan by Ling Weiyang. But currently, Sun Wukong wasn't pondering any other possibilities because he suddenly thought of someone. The plan to raid the Myriad Demons Palace at night was set after knowing the information brought by that person.

Indeed, that person was the Divine Honor He Tu from the Myriad Gods Hall.

If it was true that Ling Weiyang had used He Tu to set this up, everything would make sense. However, if that was the case, then while they attacked the Myriad Demons Palace from the south and were misled by the replica, the Soul Devouring Monk and Ghost Jade were attacking from the back—facing that would be the full combat power of Myriad Demons Country!

With this realization, a troubling thought arose in Sun Wukong's mind.

"Flame God, Flame God, quick, lead everyone north, in a straight line to the north. Everyone, start recovering your spiritual power and healing your wounds immediately. Ye Zi, full-force healing. We've fallen for a series of traps, Soul Devourer and the others... they're in danger!" (To be continued.
