Chapter 681 -682: Evil Pearl, Evil Race (Third Release!)

After taking care of the incident in the air at Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong did not stay at Flower-Fruit Mountain for long and continued to pursue the westward path of Jiang Liu’er and his disciples.

Swiftly flying, he soon came upon the Zenhai Chanlin Temple, located beyond the Monk’s Kingdom, and from afar, Sun Wukong saw a auspicious cloud enveloping the temple and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Well, well, it looks like Jiang Liu’er’s Immeasurable Merit Determination is about to be greatly accomplished; otherwise, there wouldn’t possibly be such an auspicious cloud above!”

Sun Wukong took a closer look, and the auspicious cloud above the Zenhai Chanlin Temple was dense and unyielding, with the Merit Golden Light faintly shimmering. This was not a temporary omen of good fortune, it was enough to show that Jiang Liu’er’s Immeasurable Merit Determination had reached a considerable level, and was about to be greatly accomplished.

Sun Wukong was pleased and descended from his cloud head towards the temple, releasing his Divine Sense to sense the surroundings.

“Eh? Such a heavy evil presence!”

Suddenly, a strong evil qi emanated from the back garden, and Sun Wukong, with a concerned expression, hurried over without hesitation.

“Evil creature! Stop harming others!”

Arriving at the back courtyard, from a distance he saw a female demon harming people, with two little monks enveloped in strands of black qi, levitating off the ground, their faces twisted in pain, unable to scream despite their efforts.

The evil qi was emanating from the female demon, and it was more nauseating than the Demonic Qi Sun Wukong had seen on members of the Demon Race.

Sun Wukong flicked his hand and shot out a golden light towards the female demon, then immediately lunged at her.

The female demon was draining the Life Essence of the two little monks, and suddenly, upon hearing Sun Wukong’s stern shout, the golden light was already before her, its aggressive aura feeling like knives across her face, which made her extremely startled.

“Who are you? How dare you spoil my plans?”

The female demon hurriedly dropped the two little monks and dodged aside; her eyes emitted a sharp glint, and two Steel Tridents appeared in her hands, her posture threatening.

“I thought you were some expert, turned out to be a mere rat spirit! Speak, why is there such a heavy Evil Qi on you?”

Sun Wukong stopped in front of the female demon, activated his Void-Breaking Divine Eye to the level of Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, and took a good look at the female demon, his cold laugh pressing her for answers.

“How can you see my true form? Bastard, you’re trying to trick me!”

The rat spirit was shocked, and after regaining her composure, she flew into a rage and brandished her Steel Tridents at Sun Wukong.

“Insignificant tricks!”

With Sun Wukong’s current strength, dealing with this rat spirit was effortless; he didn’t even use his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, simply extending his hand to block, effortlessly knocking the Steel Tridents aside.

“Heaven-Breaking Domain!”

The power of the Heaven-Breaking Domain expanded, subduing the rat spirit, and Sun Wukong reached out to draw a Pearl that emitted evil qi from inside the rat spirit’s body.

“What’s this?”

Sun Wukong kept the Pearl in his palm, feeling it for a moment, all the Evil Qi on the rat spirit’s body was coming from this Pearl. Once the Pearl was separated from the body, the rat spirit’s aura significantly weakened, and she no longer had the Evil Qi on her.

“Who exactly are you? Give me back my Evil Pearl!”

The rat spirit appeared as if all her strength had been drained, looking at Sun Wukong with a terror-stricken gaze and hissing out her demand.

“Evil Pearl? You mean this pearl?”

Sun Wukong glanced at the pearl in his hand it didn’t seem like something from the Three Realms, or at least, not from the Three Realms as they were before!

“Where did you get this thing from?”

Sun Wukong asked, but the rat spirit kept quiet. Sun Wukong’s eyes suddenly turned cold, “Not talking, huh? Let’s see how tough you really are!”

With a thought, the oppressive power of his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes suddenly surged and the rat spirit couldn’t help but scream aloud. As the scream spread outwards, it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

“Don’t waste your energy. No one can hear you, and no one will come to save you! Even if someone did come, I’d like to see who’d dare to rescue someone from me!”

Despair filled the eyes of the rat spirit, who finally couldn’t bear it any longer and began to beg for mercy, “Please spare my life, Immortal! I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything!”

Like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, the rat spirit confessed everything truthfully.

This Evil Pearl, it turns out, was an object of the Evil Race, one of the Ancient Races that descended upon the Western Bull-Heaven Continent.

The Evil Race, as the name suggests, was notorious for its malevolence, cultivating the most yin and evil qi between heaven and earth and was despised by the Myriad Races during the ancient times.

With the return of the Myriad Races to the Three Realms, the Evil Race was one of the first ten races to do so. Compared to the other races, the Evil Race seemed very low-key and had almost no contact with the outside world after returning to the Three Realms, but that was only on the surface.

In reality, the Evil Race was quietly extending its influence into the Three Realms, and might even be the Ancient Race that was expanding the fastest.

The Evil Race had a strange ability: their bodies could cultivate the Evil Pearl, which could be given to others. Those who possessed it could enhance their strength by absorbing the life essence of others, and the person from the Evil Race who nurtured the Evil Pearl would also benefit.

This Evil Pearl of the rat spirit was obtained from the corpse of a master from the Evil Race.

That master of the Evil Race had wanted to use the rat spirit, but unexpectedly fell into the rat spirit’s trap instead and was drained of all his essence by the rat spirit, which allowed her to understand all of the Evil Race’s plans.

It turned out that the Evil Race planned to extract strength and enhance their own power by exploiting other races with evil intentions, and the rat spirit was just one of their targets.

“The Evil Race! Interesting! Heh!”

Sun Wukong glanced at the rat spirit, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he considered killing her, but after a moment’s thought, he dropped the idea. The rat spirit could very well be one of Jiang Liu’er’s Eighty-One Tribulations, and if he killed her, Jiang Liu’er’s trials wouldn’t be complete.

“Forget it, for the sake of the Eighty-One Tribulations, I’ll spare you this time. No need to thank me!”

Before his words had faded, Sun Wukong’s figure had vanished, leaving behind the rat spirit with a baffled expression.

“Eighty-One Tribulations? What does that mean?”

The rat spirit was somewhat dazed, not understanding why Sun Wukong suddenly abandoned his killing intent. However, she breathed a huge sigh of relief, glancing at the two little monks lying on the ground. Although losing the Evil Pearl had greatly weakened her Primordial Qi, she no longer had the guts to eat humans. What if Sun Wukong, that deadly star, popped out again? What then?

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, the rat spirit quickly left the backyard and returned to her own room.

“This rat spirit does have some sense!”

Sun Wukong had not gone far, but stood in mid-air watching the rat spirit’s movements. Seeing her frantic departure, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
