One Finger Imprisons Heaven and Earth, Killing the Yaksha in an Instant!

"He's so strong too! If we'd known, we would have urged the king not to leave so early. Our benefactor is unbelievably strong! No wonder he was able to slaughter the Demon King of Havoc so easily," Gray Monkey's second younger brother said with a sigh.

After all, the two of them were by no means weak among the monkeys of Flower-Fruit Mountain. By human standards, they could be said to be at the peak of Tribulation Transcendence.

Whenever they wished, they could become immortals. They only had to survive the lightning tribulation to take human form and gain a thousand years of cultivation.

Yet even with his current body, he still could not withstand the presence their benefactor gave off while cultivating.

What had their benefactor been through over the past six months?

The two monkeys exchanged a glance, and their worries about Jiang Zhe's next move vanished at once.

It was just a yaksha. Their benefactor probably wouldn't even need to use his powerful spirit treasure to kill it in an instant.

A long while later, Jiang Zhe slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze swept over the cultivation realm on his panel.

The progress bar had risen from 87% to 89%!

One mouthful of monkey wine had increased his cultivation by 2%.

The wine really did contain an abundance of spiritual Qi.

"Benefactor, are you drunk?" Gray Monkey asked cautiously when he saw Jiang Zhe open his eyes again.

"No, I can still handle it." Jiang Zhe shook his head, then got to his feet.

"By the way, how much longer will it be before your king returns from learning his skills?" Jiang Zhe asked casually as he stood, gazing into the distance to the east.

He had finally made it to Flower-Fruit Mountain, yet he hadn't seen its true protagonist. All things considered, he did feel a little regret.

"We don't know. We've been wondering about that for almost twenty years ourselves, but it should be soon, shouldn't it?" Gray Monkey hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Twenty years?" Jiang Zhe murmured. He only had a general knowledge of Journey to the West and hadn't studied it thoroughly, so he really didn't know how many years the monkey had spent learning at Mount Fangcun.

Still, it should be soon, shouldn't it?

"It's time for me to leave." Coming back to his senses, Jiang Zhe turned to the two gray monkeys.

"Won't you stay and rest a while longer, Benefactor?" Gray Monkey couldn't help stepping forward to ask.

"No, I have other things to do. By the way, do you have a current map of the four great continents?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"Yes. A little monkey picked one up while he was playing on the road. It came from a human merchant caravan that had been destroyed by other demons. If you need it, Benefactor, please take it." As Gray Monkey spoke, he ran back into the cave behind him. In less than a moment, he came back toward Jiang Zhe with a scroll.

"Thank you."

"If fate allows, I'll come back and see you again. I hope your king will be here by then." When Jiang Zhe finished speaking, a cloud formed beneath his feet of its own accord.

He reached out, and a palm formed from telekinesis caught Weaver Girl in its grasp and dragged her onto the cloud.

"All right! Come back often when you have time, Benefactor. I'll always have good wine ready for you," Gray Monkey said, looking up at Jiang Zhe standing on the cloud and waving.

Jiang Zhe didn't answer, because at that very moment, the drunken Weaver Girl was almost knocking him over.

Wine really was no good. Even a fairy would run wild after drinking it.

Jiang Zhe was holding Weaver Girl's head back with one hand. She was acting lovestruck and drooling, with almost pink hearts shining in her eyes.

She stared at Jiang Zhe with a dazed expression.

"My sweet-smelling, soft life-saver! I don't care about the heavenly laws anymore! Cousin, make an exception for me. I really want him."

With that, Weaver Girl actually grabbed Jiang Zhe's wrist with both hands and pulled it down.

The hand braced against Weaver Girl's head came to her mouth in an instant. As though tasting a lollipop, she stuck out her tongue and licked Jiang Zhe's hand.

A warm, tingling sensation enveloped Jiang Zhe at once, sending a shiver through his body.

What the fuck?!

Go ahead and be lovestruck, but behave yourself!

Don't forget who you are. You're a fairy, and the Jade Emperor's daughter at that.

How are you any different from a creep acting like this?

"Be good, and I'll give you some candy." With no other choice, Jiang Zhe used both hands to press Weaver Girl firmly into a sitting position on the cloud.

"Candy? That sweet thing from earlier?" Weaver Girl covered her face and looked at Jiang Zhe curiously.

"Yes. If you behave and don't make a fuss, I'll give you a lollipop," Jiang Zhe explained patiently.

"Okay! I'll be good!" Weaver Girl cheered, wrapped her arms around Jiang Zhe's shoulders, then sat on the cloud.

Jiang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the fairy finally settle down.

Then his gaze fixed on the way ahead. Demonic Qi soared into the sky!

On closer inspection, he could even see red blood baleful Qi amid the demonic Qi drifting through the surroundings.

This was a Great Demon! And one that often committed slaughter.

[Mission: Kill the Great Demon yaksha who has committed countless evil deeds]

[Mission completion reward: 3,000 merit points; Black Rhino Armor unlock progress increased by 1%]

Huh? Jiang Zhe looked a little surprised when he saw the reward for completing the mission.

The merit points were within his expectations, but killing the yaksha would actually increase his Black Rhino Armor unlock progress too.

Thanks to the Three Lights Heavy Water, the Black Rhino Armor was already 3% unlocked.

Completing this mission would bring it to 4%.

Although there was still a long way to go, time really wasn't worth much in a world of cultivation and myth.

Let's do it!

After determining the direction, Jiang Zhe stood in midair.

Magic power gathered in his right hand.

[Great Desolation Prisoner Heavenly Finger! One Finger Imprisons Heaven and Earth]

The moment his words fell, Jiang Zhe slowly raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and pressed down hard toward the place ahead where the demonic Qi was thickest.

In an instant, the shadow of a finger that blotted out the sky and sun appeared over the ocean.

An illusory finger a full hundred meters in size appeared, bearing unparalleled lightning as it pressed down heavily toward a cave near the shore.

At the same time, a yaksha eating with a steel fork in hand also felt the pressure. Flesh and tissue from some unknown creature were still wrapped around the fork.

"What the hell is that? Could some blind cultivator have come to my territory to undergo tribulation?" Coming to his senses, the yaksha swallowed the entrails on his steel fork without hesitation, then strode forward.

There was even a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

If a cultivator really had come to undergo tribulation, he wouldn't stand on ceremony.

The flesh of human cultivators had been nourished by the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, making it far tastier than that of mortals. Eating it could even increase his strength.

Lost in his fantasy, the yaksha reached the cave entrance without realizing it. The next second, the yaksha with the hideous, terrifying face was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at the enormous finger that had almost entirely engulfed him in its shadow.

"Senior! Spare me!" The yaksha let out a shrill wail. The immense pressure released by the finger forced him to his knees, unable to move.

In his desperation, he raised the steel fork in his hand to block it.

But how could a mere steel fork possibly withstand Jiang Zhe's Great Desolation Prisoner Heavenly Finger unleashed at full power?

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the enormous finger crushed his steel fork, seeing with his own eyes the hard steel pressed into fragments.

In an instant, before the yaksha could even come to his senses, the finger engulfed him, reducing him completely to a pool of minced flesh.
