The Tables Turn, Mastering the Key

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Soon, the group of men in black rushed to the side of the man in the black-clad ghost mask and stood beside him.

"Greetings, Master! Congratulations on breaking through to the Ninth Stage Immortal Emperor realm!"

Upon seeing the man in black with the ghost face mask, the men in black immediately showed reverence and bowed to him in unison, speaking with expressions of admiration and flattery.

Upon hearing this, the man in black with the ghost mask smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, thank you for your hard work these past few years while I was in seclusion. I'll leave this place to you. Remember, under no circumstances should anyone break in."

"Yes, Master!"

A group of men in black bowed and agreed. Then, the man in the black ghost mask raised his head, looked at Sun Wukong, and grinned maliciously, saying, "Little monkey, will you surrender on your own, or will I beat you to the ground?"

"Snort!"

Seeing this, Sun Wukong snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with an icy light, and said through gritted teeth, "You think you've really won?"

"Hehe, am I sure I'll win? Then you should try!"

The man in black, wearing a ghost mask, smiled sinisterly. He waved his right hand a few times, and his body floated in mid-air. A black phantom quickly solidified, and a jet-black spear instantly materialized, pointing at Sun Wukong.

"Black Sha Spear Technique, Second Form: Hei Sha Penetration!"

The man in black with the ghost mask shouted, and with a flick of his right hand, the jet-black spear transformed into a streak of dark light, piercing towards Sun Wukong's throat, creating a whistling wind.

"Buzz!"

Upon seeing the dark light pierced by the man in the black ghost mask, Sun Wukong's pupils contracted sharply. A sense of impending death instantly enveloped his heart, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end and his heart to pound violently.

Sun Wukong dared not be careless and quickly activated his Chaos Spirit Treasure, the Jingu Bang, to block the black spear.

"Boom!"

The clash between the Jingu Bang and the black spear produced a muffled sound, and a powerful force swept out instantly, sending Sun Wukong flying backward, leaving streaks of blood in front of him.

"Pfft!"

Sun Wukong spat out a mouthful of blood, his pupils suddenly contracted, and streaks of sharp light shot out from his eyes, unleashing an incomparably fierce aura from his body.

"You little beast, I never expected you to have such fighting power!"

Seeing Sun Wukong vomiting blood, the man in black wearing a ghost mask curled his lip, his eyes filled with mockery, and said, "Too bad, you've met your match; you're doomed, hahaha..."

After saying that, the figure of the black-clad, masked man suddenly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already beside Sun Wukong and struck Sun Wukong's chest with a palm.

Sensing the intense aura of death emanating from the masked man in black, Sun Wukong broke out in a fine sweat. He took a deep breath, raised his Jingu Bang high in his right hand, and a large black staff suddenly appeared behind him, sweeping towards the masked man in black.

Under Sun Wukong's control, a large black staff swung wildly, producing a series of booming sounds and terrifying power ripples that spread outwards.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Sun Wukong's attack, the man in black with the ghost mask snorted coldly, and his black spear suddenly grew longer, like a venomous snake, and instantly pierced Sun Wukong's staff.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out as the black spear and Sun Wukong's staff collided with a deafening roar. Terrifying ripples of power spread outwards from between the two weapons, destroying everything in their path and turning everything into ruins.

After the black spear and the large club collided, Sun Wukong's expression suddenly changed drastically. His thigh was instantly pierced by the black spear, and bright red blood gushed out, staining his trouser leg with a layer of vivid bloodstains, making him look extremely eerie and terrifying.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong was filled with horror. The Black Sha Spear Technique used by the man with the black ghost mask was indeed extraordinary. With just one move, it pierced through his arm. If it weren't for the extremely strong defense of the golden armor Sun Wukong was wearing, he wouldn't have been able to save his arm.

"Roar!"

Sun Wukong let out a deep roar, and his arms suddenly burst forth with brilliant light. A violent and unparalleled power shot out from his body, instantly shattering Sun Wukong's right arm. The bones cracked inch by inch, and blood flowed continuously from Sun Wukong's right arm, dripping onto the ground and instantly staining it red.

"Thump!"

Sun Wukong knelt on one knee, his thigh and arm severed, causing him to sway and nearly fall to the ground.

"You little beast, is this all the power you have?"

Upon learning that the Myriad Devils Token had been activated, the Heavenly Venerable Daode rushed to the Purple Firmament Palace to discuss the situation with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"With this Darkness Devil Lord released like this, the entire Primordial World Three Realms is going to descend into chaos!"

Hongjun, however, calmly placed a piece on the chessboard. "The person behind all this has already planned it out."

The Heavenly Venerable Daode was taken aback. "You mean?"

Hongjun slowly said, "Go to Penglai Island and invite Han Xiangzi to West Ox Hezhou to help Sun Wukong deal with the Darkness Devil Lord."

The Heavenly Venerable Daode nodded in agreement and left.

Hongjun placed another piece, this time landing directly into a black hole.

With a "crack" sound, the black hole was completely sealed.

Inside the black hole, something was struggling, roaring, and cursing, but to Hongjun outside the black hole, all of this was insignificant.

After the black hole was sealed, the figure of the Darkness Devil Lord was revealed from within it.

At this moment, the Darkness Devil Lord had reverted to his original form, becoming a black dragon. However, the dragon's eyes were now blood-red, making it appear extremely terrifying.

He frantically rammed into the black hole, but no matter how hard he tried, the black hole remained as solid as ever.

Suddenly, the black dragon roared several times, and its body shrank instantly, eventually transforming into a human form.

"Hahahaha! This is how you treat me! I'm going to kill you all! Kill them all!"

He then opened his hands, and a burst of black energy emerged from his palms, spreading in all directions and covering the entire Purple Firmament Palace in the blink of an eye.

"This evil force!"
