Natal True Essence, No Escape from the Vortex

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, the black dragon's tail lashed out again, shattering the void and striking Sun Wukong hard.

This whip lashed Sun Wukong so hard that he coughed up blood, and his clothes were torn open, revealing his skin and body.

The whip also left a long, bloody welt on Sun Wukong's skin.

He flashed and landed directly on the ground from the top of the towering tree.

"This black dragon is indeed incredibly powerful; even my Vajra Indestructible Divine Art cannot withstand it."

Sun Wukong was shocked. He took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his body, and looked at the black dragon.

"You brat, today is your death day!!"

The black dragon roared and pounced on Sun Wukong.

"Boom!!"

The black dragon flashed and instantly appeared in front of Sun Wukong, its huge claws grabbing at Sun Wukong and slamming Sun Wukong body hard onto the ground.

"Damn it!!"

Sun Wukong roared angrily and struggled violently, trying to break free from the black dragon's control.

However, the black dragon's claws were as hard as steel, and no matter how hard Sun Wukong tried, he couldn't break free.

He roared and hurled his Ruyi Jingu Bang) at the black dragon. The moment the Ruyi Jingu Bang touched the dragon's scales, it was repelled by a terrifying force, sending Sun Wukong flying backward and crashing through several ancient trees.

"What terrifying defensive power! No wonder it's Dragon Race that possesses the Black Dragon Origin. It's truly formidable!" Sun Wukong thought to himself.

The black dragon roared and charged at Sun Wukong again, its claws reaching out to grab Sun Wukong frantically.

Damn it!

Sun Wukong cursed loudly, gripping his Ruyi Jingu Bang), and charged forward once more.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, one man and one dragon, fighting fiercely in the mountains and forests, sometimes here, sometimes there, destroying countless large trees.

Sun Wukong swung his staff, slamming it hard into the black dragon's body, sending it flying backward. The dragon's black scales were shattered, leaving many fine holes, and bright red blood dripped continuously, splattering onto the ground.

However, the black dragon seemed completely unharmed and charged forward again, its claws viciously clawing at Sun Wukong's head.

"Damn bastard!!"

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong's face darkened considerably. With a flick of his wrist, he produced a golden spear and thrust it fiercely towards the black dragon's horns.

The black dragon's horns were incredibly sturdy, directly shaking Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang away and sending Sun Wukong flying backward.

With a roar, the black dragon pounced on Sun Wukong once more.

"Roar!!"

Sun Wukong roared and swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang once more, clashing fiercely with the black dragon's claws.

"Clang clang clang!!"

Sun Wukong and the black dragon were locked in fierce combat. Every strike of his staff repelled the giant black dragon, and every punch he threw contained terrifying power, causing the void to tremble violently.

At this moment, the black dragon's black scales were completely destroyed, and many wounds appeared on its body, from which blood flowed.

However, the black dragon's scales were simply too powerful; even when riddled with holes, it remained unharmed.

"You brat, how dare you sneak into my territory? You're asking for death!!" The black dragon roared, its claws grabbing Sun Wukong's neck and tearing a chunk of flesh off his neck.

"Aaaaaaah!!"

Sun Wukong cried out in pain, his face contorted in agony.

After the black dragon injured Sun Wukong with its claw, it opened its mouth again and tried to bite off Sun Wukong's head.

"Damn it, no!!"

Sun Wukong was startled when he saw this. He quickly turned his head away and narrowly avoided the black dragon's bite.

The black dragon bit at empty air and became enraged. He grabbed Sun Wukong and slammed him to the ground.

Sun Wukong crashed heavily to the ground. He struggled several times, but his bones were all shattered, and he couldn't stand up at all.

The black dragon roared and pounced towards Sun Wukong.

Seeing the black dragon rushing towards him, Sun Wukong's face showed a look of despair. "I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!!"

His heart was filled with resentment. He hadn't lived enough yet; how could he die like this? It was all because of this black dragon. If it weren't for this black dragon, he would have survived long ago. How could he have ended up being eaten by this black dragon?

The black dragon bared its fangs and claws, lunging at Sun Wukong. Its claws tore through Sun Wukong's armor, leaving Sun Wukong covered in hideous wounds from which blood flowed.

A hint of despair also appeared in Sun Wukong's eyes.

The black dragon's claws descended, preparing to snatch Sun Wukong's head off.

"Whoosh!!"

Just then, a purple light flashed, and a purple pagoda appeared above Sun Wukong's head, radiating dazzling rays of light.

A huge purple vortex appeared around the purple pagoda, and an enormous purple vortex instantly appeared around the black dragon's body, trapping the black dragon inside.

Within those enormous purple vortexes lay streaks of lightning, which continuously struck the black vortexes, piercing them and causing them to shrink until they finally disappeared, revealing the silhouette of a black dragon.

The black dragon's body was trapped in the purple vortex, and it roared incessantly, trying to break free.

However, the purple vortex was Saint King Artifact, containing the power of Lightning Tribulation. Although the black dragon was Dragon Emperor- level existence, its power was only at the Dragon Sovereign Realm. It was impossible for it to break free from the purple vortex's restraints. It could only be bombarded by lightning continuously until it was blasted into ashes and died.

With the death of the black dragon, all the black flames were drawn back into its body and disappeared.

The black flames were the black dragon's Natal True Essence. After the black dragon died, the black flames disappeared, and the black dragon's corpse gradually turned into a ball of black flames, which was then swallowed by the purple gourd and entered the gourd.

The purple light emanating from the gourd gradually dimmed.

"Whew!!"
