Chapter 49: The Vajra Staff
The Old Ghost King, clad in a black robe with his black hair obscuring his face, revealed nothing of his true appearance. He grinned ominously and said, "Indeed, we need your blood. Otherwise, how can we live another ten thousand years to probe the mysteries of the Emperor?"
The Red-Butt Macaque replied calmly, "There are no more than ten Preparatory Emperors on this Desolate Star. If you wish to become an Emperor, you must at least consume the blood of the other nine. Are you not afraid that by battling me, you will fall prey to those lurking in the shadows?"
"Are there still people lurking in the shadows?" Tao Tie looked around but saw no one else. He scoffed, "You're just spouting nonsense. Are you trying to buy time for reinforcements? Don't waste your breath; the market has already been blocked at the entrance."
The Red-Butt Macaque remained unfazed, showing no fear of the two Preparatory Emperors. "Is that so? At Pujue Temple, there is at least one Preparatory Emperor. At Yunlu Xian Sect, there is also at least one Preparatory Emperor. In this Apocalyptic War, how could they possibly stand by and do nothing?"
"The Yunlu Xian Sect has always kept to themselves. Even during the last Apocalyptic War, they did not participate and have continued their lineage alone until now. As for those bald monks from Pujue Temple, it would be better if they stayed away; if they come, they'll just swallow us whole," Tao Tie retorted angrily.
"Enough with the chatter; let's take action quickly to avoid any unforeseen changes," urged the Old Ghost King.
With that, the Old Ghost King was the first to strike. He gripped a battle spear in both hands and shattered the starry sky with a sweep. His entire body was enveloped in a dark Eerie Energy, resembling chains of rules that coiled around him, instilling fear in all who beheld him.
Clang!
The iron staff collided with the iron chains. The staff erupted in golden light, dazzling brighter than the sun and moon combined. The spear also emitted a dark glow that obscured the stars. The Old Ghost King felt a sharp pain in his hands as they were jolted apart.
"You've lived for so long and still possess such formidable combat strength," he exclaimed in surprise.
"Killing you will suffice."
"Such arrogance; die!"
Tao Tie took the initiative to attack from behind the Red-Butt Macaque. He somehow seized a star and hurled it directly at the Red-Butt Macaque with both hands.
The Red-Butt Macaque held a staff in its right hand and thrust it forward. The iron rod naturally extended, piercing through the stars above.
Boom...
An unprecedented roar echoed through the cosmos.
The Tao Tie, along with the stars it cradled in its arms, was forcefully blocked by the iron rod, unable to advance any further.
"Truly impressive, a combat power rivaling that of the great emperors," remarked the Old Ghost King coldly. "It's a pity you are not the Spirit Stone Monkey, not the greatest warrior of heaven and earth."
With a flicker of thought, countless eerie energy chains shot out from the Old Ghost King's body, piercing through the starry sky, all aimed at the Red-Butt Macaque, attempting to impale it.
The Red-Butt Macaque remained unfazed, a chaotic aura surging around it, causing its body to shine with golden light, resembling a blazing sun that was impossible to look at directly.
The flames of chaotic energy unleashed an overwhelming might, halting the advance of all eerie energy chains.
"Quite capable."
The Old Ghost King wielded his war spear and lunged into the golden light.
Boom...
An indescribable clash of terror ensued, shattering vast stretches of the starry sky into an endless dark void. The combined forces of the Tao Tie and the Old Ghost King sent the Red-Butt Macaque flying, crashing into a distant star that shattered upon impact.
The Red-Butt Macaque spat out imperial blood, its form somewhat disheveled.
"Chirp chirp..."
Standing on Master Da's shoulder, the creature looked at Sky Above's battle with a face full of anger. It tried several times to rush into the starry sky, but was repeatedly stopped by Master Da. As of now, it had only reached the strength of the Sage Realm.
"Senior brother, has junior brother returned?" Dugu Po asked, looking up at Sky Above's battle.
Master Da nodded gravely.
Dugu Po sighed, "I hope junior brother can arrive in time. I hope his mother can survive."
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. We can begin now," Master Da said resolutely.
"Alright."
Dugu Po, the Guan Family, Fire Vein, and Li Jing transformed into a beam of Divine Radiance and flew towards various locations on Desolate Star.
Bang bang bang...
The sounds of explosive clashes echoed endlessly as the Red-Butt Macaque faced off against two Preparatory Emperors deep within the starry sky, a vast expanse of darkness. Even powerful beings of the Sage Realm found it difficult to observe the battle taking place above Desolate Star.
Bang bang bang...
Tao Tie continued to wield a massive star, smashing it down onto the Red-Butt Macaque. The star struck against an iron rod, causing it to shatter into dust.
Just as this star was about to crash down on the Red-Butt Macaque's head, Tao Tie revealed an excited expression: "Die! I'll crush your skull and feast on your brain!"
However, when the iron rod was less than a foot long, it suddenly burst forth with a brilliant light, radiating a blinding golden glow. A terrifying power emanated from the iron rod.
The Red-Butt Macaque wielded the one-foot iron rod and swept aside the Old Ghost King before piercing into the stars. With a flick of its wrist, it broke through the star, penetrating towards the Tao Tie.
This iron rod carried an unstoppable momentum as it swept across the Tao Tie. It cleaved through the flesh and shattered the bones of the Tao Tie. For a moment, the Tao Tie could not withstand the assault, curling up in pain and letting out a cry.
"Is that an Imperial Artifact?"
The Old Ghost King was shocked and immediately swung his black mist chains to block the Red-Butt Macaque, rescuing the Tao Tie.
After escaping, the Tao Tie stood shoulder to shoulder with the Old Ghost King. At this moment, the Tao Tie looked disheveled, its body covered in blood and flesh, with deep wounds exposing white bones.
"The Spirit Stone Monkey's Imperial Artifact, Vajra Staff," the Old Ghost King said solemnly.
The Red-Butt Macaque held the one-foot Vajra Staff without responding, floating in the Void. It quietly adjusted its breathing, waiting for the next battle.
"What? That's the Vajra Staff?" The Tao Tie repeated in astonishment.
The Old Ghost King pondered, "It should be correct; otherwise, it wouldn't possess such terrifying divine might. Ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Stone Monkey was invincible, its strength comparable to that of an emperor, unmatched by anyone. But ultimately, two fists could not contend against four hands; it fell during the Apocalyptic War ten thousand years ago. I never expected its Imperial Artifact did not turn to dust."
The Tao Tie suddenly felt overwhelmed; being injured by an Imperial Artifact was something he begrudgingly accepted. He said, "Fortunately, this Vajra Staff is only half intact."
The Old Ghost King replied, "With him wielding a remnant of an Imperial Artifact, he can likely withstand both of us. If we continue to drag this out, it will be detrimental to everyone. I have heard that you possess a repaired Imperial Artifact, the Desolate Tower?"
"Indeed," said the Tao Tie as he summoned a Pagoda. The Pagoda had seven layers, each layer heavy with Chaotic Aura. He continued, "This is what our Demon Sect salvaged from the shattered Desolate Tower of years past. It took us ten thousand years and wasted too many precious materials to restore it to its current state. However, its might cannot compare to that of a true Imperial Artifact; at best, it can be considered a flawed Imperial Artifact."
"That will be enough, strike."
"Alright."
Tao Tie wielded the Desolate Tower. The Desolate Tower was a treasure forged by Emperor Huang, but now, after its restoration, it had changed beyond recognition, merely borrowing the name of its former self.
The Desolate Tower inhaled and exhaled Chaotic Energy, clashing with the half-broken Vajra Staff.
Clang, clang, clang...
A series of crisp sounds echoed. The Desolate Tower withstood the impact of the Vajra Staff without showing any signs of cracking. This brought great joy to Old Ghost King and Tao Tie.
