Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 758 - 681: Entering the Canyon Again

After the little monkey revealed his true identity, his relationship with Sun Wukong had become much more cordial. Sun Wukong is this type of person—if you were to plot against him, not only would he not show you any kindness, but he could also very possibly tear off that facade at any moment. However, if you were sincere and wholehearted with him, Sun Wukong would even risk his own life for you if necessary. So afterwards, Sun Wukong did not ask more questions, firstly because it was no longer necessary, and secondly because he did not wish to be too pressing on the little monkey. It is certainly more pleasant to cooperate on things in a harmonious environment than in a relationship filled with intrigue and competition. Moreover, the ordeals that Sun Wukong was about to face could be extremely dangerous, and if he couldn't fully trust the little monkey, then Sun Wukong would truly be in danger.

Five days later, almost with tears in his eyes, Sun Wukong swallowed the second Holy Blood Fruit. He had assumed that with the first fruit as a foundation, he could somewhat get used to it, but the pain this time was no less severe, and due to psychological effects, it was even more intense. Fortunately, this time the episode was slightly shorter than last, and the pain began to subside just before Sun Wukong's possible collapse. Sun Wukong believed that if used as poison, the Holy Blood Fruit was sure to be extremely effective. The little monkey did mention how powerful the Holy Blood Fruit was, and that no one could resist its potency.

However, Sun Wukong just entertained the thought, as the little monkey had made it very clear that there were only five Holy Blood Fruits in total, not one more. Moreover, if he did not consume all five consecutively, the effect would be greatly diminished. Speaking of Spirit Fruits, Sun Wukong remembered the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit he had eaten before. After eating it, Zijing had said that the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit was extremely precious. However, so far, aside from linking the lives of the three individuals who also consumed the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit, there had been no other effect. It was either that Zijing had deceived them in the beginning, or the Divine Skills of the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit had not yet fully manifested!

After a brush with death, the second petal of the Three Spirits Flower on Sun Wukong's forehead successfully turned blood-red. Sensing the remaining three dark green petals, Sun Wukong could not stop complaining. The Holy Blood Fruit was truly terrifying—if he could actually endure consuming all five without dying, then probably no torture in this world could ever make Sun Wukong feel fear again. Seven days later, after swallowing the third fruit, Sun Wukong endured the same agony. The third petal successfully turned red. After another seven days, with the fourth Holy Blood Fruit, the fourth petal turned red. Ten days later, the final Holy Blood Fruit was swallowed by Sun Wukong. This time, Sun Wukong felt no pain at all, which left him utterly astonished since he had been prepared for it.

On the contrary, after consuming the fifth Holy Blood Fruit, Sun Wukong only felt waves of comfort, a sensation so indescribable that he was almost lost in this bliss. Thankfully, the exceedingly comfortable feeling did not last too long, fading away gradually, or else Sun Wukong might have truly been trapped in it. "How does it feel? Was it worth it? Come on, describe it!" the little monkey curiously asked as Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes. Sun Wukong's consciousness gradually returned, bringing with it a tinge of loss.

Standing up, Sun Wukong slowly stretched his limbs but only gave the little monkey an indescribable expression. However, as he moved, his expression suddenly turned unwell. "What's happening? Don't tell me you've been deceiving me this whole time. If you are, I'll be the first to deal with you!" As Sun Wukong stretched, he suddenly discovered that his body's strength had not increased at all, nor had it decreased—it was the same as when he had first entered the Fallen Tomb. In other words, Sun Wukong had suffered through those four torturous experiences for nothing!

The little monkey was not at all intimidated by Sun Wukong's threat, and dismissively said, "What's the hurry? If the effects were immediate, do you think you'd still be alive? Not to mention what would happen if you had a strong body without the corresponding soul, but just being in this Fallen Tomb, if the lingering souls discovered such a powerful body, they would not hesitate to tear your weak Soul into pieces and then take over your physique. You only become truly safe when your Soul has been enhanced as well and both are integrated—only then will your full potential explode, and that's when you won't be in danger!" Sun Wukong then realized; he had been too impatient. The little monkey was absolutely right; if his body suddenly became immensely powerful, his first problem would be the inability of his Soul to control his body, making him defenseless prey among a pack of starving wolves.

"It's my fault for being anxious, heh heh. By the way, last time you said there was a problem with my body, what was that about?" Sun Wukong still hadn't had the chance to ask about it. The little monkey looked at Sun Wukong, then suddenly gave a profound and inscrutable smile and said, "Unspeakable, unspeakable!" Sun Wukong was speechless; the little monkey sure learned quickly. "Fine, you win. Just now, I felt an indescribably comfortable sensation, incredibly pleasant!" The little monkey then nodded with satisfaction. "As for your body, it's in a very strange state—your body and Soul have actually become completely integrated. Ordinary people's Souls and bodies are separate and never combine as thoroughly as yours have. This gives you a major disadvantage: the enhancement of your body and Soul will face significant constraints. Ordinary methods of refining the body or enhancing the Soul are completely useless on you."
