The Nine-Toothed Rake, Shattering the Black Stone Steles

With the Black Dragon dead, Sun Wukong breathed a sigh of relief. He felt the damaged meridians in his body, his face full of exhaustion. He glanced at the dark flames around him, and a deep sense of resentment appeared between his brows.

Sun Wukong sighed in reluctance.

Sun Wukong moved swiftly, transforming into a blur and disappearing from the spot.

Not long after Sun Wukong left, the cave suddenly burst open, spewing out black magma in all directions.

All the lava spewed out from the corpse of the black dragon, surging in all directions. A plume of black smoke spread out, obscuring the sky, and the black dragon completely vanished.

Meanwhile, in a distant valley, a black vortex was spinning rapidly, from which all sorts of spirit beasts and Devil Beast rushed out and fled towards the outside of the valley.

Clearly, these Devil Beasts were all affected by the dragon flames emanating from the black dragon, and were burned to a crisp by the dragon flames.

The black Jiaolong was rescued by the purple gourd.

"Hahaha!!"

Suddenly, the black gourd let out a laugh, and then a beam of light shot out from within it, disappearing into a distant mountain peak. It melted the mountain, turning it into molten lava that oozed out from beneath it.

Immediately, the magma coalesced rapidly, forming a giant magma python several meters thick.

The giant magma python opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Sun Wukong's location, its ferocity overwhelming.

"Whoosh!"

Sun Wukong sensed the terrifying aura of the giant magma python and was greatly alarmed. Without hesitation, he immediately used his Instant Teleportation Technique to move dozens of feet away, avoiding the giant magma python's attack.

Unable to track Sun Wukong, the giant magma python returned to the mountain peak, burrowed into the magma, and disappeared.

Sun Wukong let out a long breath. Looking at the black hole ahead, he said with lingering fear, "What a terrifying monster! It was so powerful! Non-Self possessed Innate Spirit Treasure, I'd probably be dead by now!"

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, calmed himself, and continued walking forward, searching for fortuitous opportunity.

This is the ruins of the Heavenly Court gods, so it's definitely not as easy to find treasures as the previous ruins. He has to be very careful, and if he encounters any danger, he will immediately use Instant Teleportation Technique to escape.

These black stone tablets, each engraved with many ancient and mysterious runes, contain enormous energy fluctuations that are clearly beyond the resistance of ordinary mortal cultivators.

"These runes are divine Divine Artifact used by the Heavenly Court beings to suppress these black demons. They are probably all at the level of Sage divine weapons. It's best if I don't get close for now..." Sun Wukong muttered. He didn't know the origin of the black dragon, but its strength was indeed many times greater than his Sun Wukong. If Sun Wukong hadn't possessed Innate Spirit Treasure to protect him, he would probably already be dead at the hands of that black dragon.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Sun Wukong's eyes narrowed slightly. He sensed something unusual. That unusual aura was coming from those black stone tablets. Moreover, he sensed that there seemed to be an extremely powerful force within those black stone tablets, frantically trying to break free and escape from this place.

What happened?

Sun Wukong was extremely surprised.

Those black stone tablets were forged by the black dragon using its own primordial fire. These black stone tablets are the source of the black dragon's power. If these black stone tablets could escape, they would cause great damage to the black dragon.

If that black dragon manages to escape, it will undoubtedly become a terrifying being. It might even be able to recover from its injuries, regenerate, and return to this world to continue slaughtering mortals.

This made Sun Wukong's heart pound.

Sun Wukong shouted and then swung his Jingu Bang at the black stone tablets.

The Jingu Bang collided with the black stone tablets, producing a series of deafening, rapid sounds. Sun Wukong struck the tablets three times in a row, but failed to destroy them.

Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and once again wielded his Nine-Toothed Rake, smashing it fiercely against the black stone tablets.

"Bang!!"

Another series of muffled thuds followed as the black stone tablets were dented by the Nine-Toothed Rake. However, the black stone tablets were not completely broken and still maintained their original shape.

"These black stone tablets haven't been smashed. They're really sturdy. At this rate, I'm afraid I'll have a hard time destroying them!" Sun Wukong frowned and thought to himself.

Just then, the roar of a black dragon came from within those black stone tablets.

The black dragon was trapped inside the purple gourd, and he was furious. However, the gourd sealed him inside, and he was unable to escape.

The black dragon was furious. He wanted to attack the purple gourd, but there was a strange confinement within the gourd that he couldn't break.

"Damn monkey, you dare to trap me! I will tear you to shreds, skin you alive, drink your blood, and devour you completely!!" the black dragon roared incessantly, howling angrily.

"Hmph!! You think I'll be trapped by you so easily?"

Just then, a cold snort rang out. It was the young man in purple standing next to a young man in white robes, who was holding a fan.

"I'm going to have this black dragon!!"

The white-robed youth stared at the black dragon and spoke.

Upon hearing the white-robed youth's words, the black dragon roared, glaring at him with eyes filled with ferocity and resentment.

"Roar!!"

The next second, the black dragon opened its mouth and spat out a black flame, which slammed fiercely towards the white-robed youth.

The white-robed youth waved his hand, and the folding fan in his hand suddenly opened, emitting a dazzling white light that directly blocked the black flames.

"Bang!!"

The next second, with a loud bang, the black flames were blasted away by the white-robed youth, landing on the ground and burning.

The white-robed youth snapped his folding fan shut, and a dazzling white light extinguished the black flames. He glanced indifferently at the black dragon and said coldly, "These black stone tablets were left behind by the Heavenly Court beings. If you truly wish to leave, you'd better obey me. Otherwise, even you won't escape my grasp. You'd better behave yourself, or I'll keep you here forever!"

The young man in white robes said.
