While Angel Yan was enthusiastically guessing at Si Yao's Beast Form, and Si Yao couldn't be bothered to pay attention, even turning slightly to focus more on the battle situation at Liangshan, the situation over there suddenly changed!
Sun Wukong did not use a clone to test them as originally planned.
The appearance of Su Xiao Li, as well as the radically different power within her that differed from the Shenhe System, had aroused his immense interest.
He directly chose to fight with his true body, giving it everything he had!
Faced with the Fighting Buddha at full power, the Xiong Bing Lian fought back desperately under Qiangwei's command, yet they were still like mantises trying to stop a chariot.
Ge Xiaolun was swept flying by another strike, Liu Chuang's God Slaying Axe was knocked from his hands by the Golden Cudgel, and Zhao Xin and Cheng Yaowen were also struck down one after another.
In just a few breaths, the counterattack the Xiong Bing Lian had only just organized was completely crushed. Everyone fell to the ground, losing their combat ability.
Sun Wukong's gaze passed over the sprawled-out members of the Xiong Bing Lian and once again locked onto Su Xiao Li, who was panting heavily, the light in her fox tail having dimmed considerably.
His "test" of the Xiong Bing Lian was over. The result was obvious—a group of raw recruits who still needed severe tempering.
What interested him more now was this Little Fox, who had been transformed by an Unknown Power, and the mysterious "Pangu Old God" behind her.
In fact, when Dukao agreed to let Su Xiao Li participate in this operation, he had subtly conveyed another intention to Sun Wukong: to use this "exercise" with the Xiong Bing Lian to probe Si Yao's depths.
Sun Wukong's power was currently the existence on Earth most likely to restrain or even suppress Si Yao.
Dukao needed to know whether Sun Wukong could keep the extremely unstable factor that was Si Yao within a controllable range—or, in the worst-case scenario, whether he could subdue him.
And Su Xiao Li was the perfect "bait" and "excuse."
Her original Super Gene already had some connection to Sun Wukong. Now that she had been transformed by Si Yao, Sun Wukong had every justification to come knocking under the pretext of testing and investigating her, and could stop at any time depending on the circumstances.
"Little Fox, what did that fellow behind you stuff into you? Let this Old Sun take another careful look!" Sun Wukong said as he raised the Golden Cudgel once more, a pressure far greater than before sweeping toward Su Xiao Li!
Su Xiao Li's face turned deathly pale. The energy within her had been nearly exhausted in the earlier battle. Faced with this strike in which Sun Wukong was clearly getting serious, she no longer even had the strength to dodge. She could only watch in despair as the staff grew larger and larger while descending toward her.
At this critical moment—
Buzz!
A patch of soft, pure White Light appeared in front of Su Xiao Li without warning. Like the sturdiest barrier, it firmly blocked the mighty Golden Cudgel!
There was no earth-shaking collision. When the Golden Cudgel struck the White Light, it seemed to sink into an invisible swamp, all its violent power silently absorbed and dispersed.
"Hm?!" Sun Wukong's pupils contracted. He abruptly withdrew the cudgel and retreated, warily looking at the mass of White Light.
The White Light slowly faded, revealing a figure within.
Silver-white hair fluttered gently in the night wind. His ice-blue eyes were calm and emotionless. Who else could it be but Si Yao?
He was still wearing the same simple black clothes, as though he had merely strolled over from the Meeting Room to this battlefield. Not even the slightest Energy Fluctuation could be sensed from him.
Si Yao calmly raised his hand. A faint white halo lingered around his fingertips, and the Light Wall that had blocked the Golden Cudgel vanished with it.
"Monkey, that's enough."
At the same time, in the top-floor Meeting Room of the Super Seminary.
Angel Yan was about to continue teasing Si Yao when she suddenly discovered that the figure originally sitting in the corner was slowly fading away before her eyes like a mirage, eventually disappearing completely and leaving behind only the cup of tea that was still steaming.
The smile on Angel Yan's face froze, and for the first time, unmistakable disbelief and shock appeared in her eyes.
"A worm gate? No, that's not right! There wasn't any Wormhole Fluctuation! How did he get there?!"
"..."
At the Liangshan Battlefield, the atmosphere froze.
Sun Wukong withdrew the Golden Cudgel and rested it on his shoulder. Suspicion and uncertainty flickered in his Fiery Golden Eyes as he sized up the abruptly appearing Si Yao.
"Well, well?" Sun Wukong grinned, his tone carrying undisguised curiosity and a hint of wariness. "You've got some tricks, kid! You were just drinking tea and watching the show over at the Super Seminary. How did you suddenly end up in front of this Old Sun? What Divine Ability did you use? Wormhole Transport? Doesn't look like it. There wasn't even a Spatial Ripple."
Si Yao turned around and activated Changsheng Realm Divine Power. As a faint white halo flickered over Su Xiao Li, her injuries fully recovered within a few breaths. "It was only a bit of Space Displacement Technology. You people can't even do something like this?"
In reality, this was a one-time, short-range Space Coordinate Replacement he had completed by combining the scattered knowledge about Micro Wormholes and Space-Time Theory he had obtained from Lianfeng, spending over ten thousand True Points, and using the Seed of Delusion to forcibly distort reality.
It fundamentally did not rely on his own technology to achieve. It was more like a one-use "flash" scroll.
However, within seconds of his voice falling—
[Ding!] [Morgana, Holy He Xi, and Holy Keisha have completely believed in the "Space Displacement Technology" you fabricated!] [Obtained True Points: 100,000] [Current True Points: 795,560] ["Space Displacement Technology" Manifestation Degree: 100%!] [Note: With your current abilities and Energy Level, this technology's effective range is limited to Earth's Atmosphere. To achieve interplanetary or interstellar Space Displacement, a Celestial Supercomputer must be used for coordinate positioning, energy supply, and spatial stabilization anchoring.]
The cold notification rang out in Si Yao's mind. The information it brought made even him feel slightly surprised.
He had originally thought that for a technology involving advanced spatial applications, a Manifestation Degree of twenty or thirty percent would already be pretty good, and that he would need to invest a large number of True Points afterward to gradually complete it.
He had not expected the Three Angel Kings—Holy Keisha, Skybase King Hexi, and the Demon Queen Morgana, the three women standing at the summit of the Known Universe's Tech Tree—to rely solely on what he had just demonstrated and his offhand explanation, then use their profound understanding of Space Technology and enormous "Cognitive Energy" to forcibly anchor the "concept" of this technology as "reality" within him!
But thinking about it again, it was quite reasonable.
"Space Displacement," or the similar concept of directly overwriting coordinates, was not a fantasy within the existing Shenhe Tech Tree. Death God Karl had probably already touched upon or even mastered related Void Technology.
As the top researchers and warriors of the Known Universe, Kaisha, He Xi, and Liang Bing surely possessed extremely deep research and understanding of the relevant theories and possibilities.
Given all the abilities he had previously displayed that defied common sense, combined with his current appearance that had occurred without warning and disregarded the Wormhole Principle, they had relied on their existing Knowledge System and level of understanding to "fill in the gaps" and "believe" in the technology's completeness and feasibility, indirectly helping Si Yao complete its 100% manifestation!
As expected of the three strongest women in the Known Universe, the energy brought by their "belief" was truly immense.
Sun Wukong naturally had no idea about the storm of information that had just erupted in Si Yao's mind. He had only understood the words "Space Displacement Technology." Although he did not understand its profundity, he could sense that the technology was no trivial matter.
"Space Displacement?" Sun Wukong repeated, slightly raising the Golden Cudgel as his Battle Intent rose once more. "Sounds impressive! But I wonder whether that body of yours can withstand this Old Sun's cudgel!"
Si Yao looked at Sun Wukong, whose Battle Intent was soaring, and asked mildly, "Want to try?"
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes slightly. "Try?"
"..."
"Come."
The instant Si Yao finished speaking, golden light burst from Sun Wukong's eyes, and he no longer held anything back!
"Eat My Old Sun's Cudgel!"
The Golden Cudgel suddenly extended, crashing down with a shriek that tore through the night sky like a pillar holding up the heavens!
The power contained in this strike was enough to flatten a small mountain.
Si Yao remained where he was without moving an inch. He merely raised his eyelids, and an intangible barrier that seemed capable of swallowing even light instantly unfolded above his head—the absolute defense formed by empowering the Space Algorithm with Colorless Realm Divine Power: the Colorless Wall!
"Boom—!!!"
A deafening roar echoed through the valley. Violent shockwaves sent the surrounding broken trees and scattered rocks flying.
Yet the seemingly fragile Colorless Wall remained utterly motionless, firmly keeping the Golden Cudgel at bay while evenly dispersing and absorbing all the impact.
"Hm?!" Sun Wukong's strike accomplished nothing, but instead of becoming discouraged, his Battle Intent grew even more intense.
"Interesting! Take this!"
He gave a low shout. Dark Energy circulated through the Golden Cudgel, and the complicated God-Slaying Algorithm was activated. The cudgel glowed with a dangerous dark-red light.
In the next moment, the Golden Cudgel transformed into a sky full of Stick Shadows, pouring down upon the Colorless Wall like a violent storm!
Bang bang bang bang bang—!!!
In a mere few seconds, Sun Wukong unleashed over a hundred heavy strikes infused with the God-Slaying Algorithm! Every blow was enough to pose a serious threat to a Third Generation God Body. The dense collisions merged into a continuous rumble like rolling thunder, the entire valley trembling violently as the ground cracked apart inch by inch!
Under such terrifying high-frequency god-slaying attacks, the Colorless Wall began to fluctuate violently. Fine, spiderweb-like cracks even appeared across its surface!
Si Yao's brows furrowed slightly. The intensity of this monkey's attacks had exceeded his estimate.
He couldn't keep taking them head-on.
With a thought, the Space Displacement Technology activated instantly.
Soft White Light enveloped the bewildered Su Xiao Li and the sprawled-out members of the Xiong Bing Lian on the ground. In the next moment, their figures vanished from their original positions and were safely transferred to the foot of a mountain several kilometers away.
Almost at the same time as sending them away, Si Yao voluntarily withdrew the Colorless Wall, which was on the verge of shattering.
At that very moment, Sun Wukong's cudgel, infused with the God-Slaying Algorithm, came crashing down squarely toward his crown.
Si Yao neither dodged nor evaded. His right hand shot out like lightning!
Jingang Realm Divine Power surged at full force. His arm was instantly covered in a layer of dark-gold metallic luster, and his five fingers curved like hooks as he caught the end of the cudgel with pinpoint accuracy—the very end capable of shattering the defenses of a Third Generation God Body!
"What?!" Sun Wukong's pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
With the full support of his God-Slaying Algorithm, the Golden Cudgel's destructive power and Energy Level were terrifying. Even Lieyang Tiandao's attack on Earth a thousand years ago had left no one daring to catch it barehanded!
Those Second Generation Super Soldiers of Lieyang Tiandao had been smashed to death on the spot, one cudgel strike each!
This guy had caught it barehanded?
