Great Demon Sun Wukong

When the first ray of light dispelled the darkness, everyone in the Sand Realm felt as though they had survived a calamity. It was like escaping hell and returning to the Mortal World, as if reborn. Gazing at the warm and bright sunlight, everyone had some insights. However, more often than not, those were overshadowed by sorrow and exhaustion.

That night, the participants of the Six Great Divine Nations suffered heavy losses. Those who saw the sun the next day were all the strongest among the strong from each Divine Kingdom.

After the seemingly endless hordes of Black Mirror Scorpions, Tongtian Worms, and various fierce beasts and poisonous insects unique to the desert had dispersed, people began to tally the losses and rush to recover their strength and heal their injuries.

After taking stock, everyone's heart was coated with a layer of frost. That night, two-thirds of the people had been lost.

Within the Genesis Divine Nation, including Lin Xi, three advanced while the other six were devoured by the insects. Although two were rescued, they still did not survive until dawn. Fortunately, all the Domain Beads were on Lin Xi, and despite fleeing throughout the night, none were lost.

Of the seven from the Annihilation Demon Nation, three perished, and two were severely injured. Only one named Jing Potian and another strong individual remained unharmed. The Domain Beads were not lost, but it was clear that the two gravely injured were beyond saving—it was just a matter of time before death claimed them. Continue your saga on empire

Eight from the Netherworld World had died, four of whom were among the group of five. Thus, at this moment, only four from the Netherworld World survived, all acting independently—the Six-Eared Macaque, Cangming Ghost King, and Netherworld King Qin. One Domain Bead was lost, but the sole survivor from that group of five was making their way back, hoping to find it.

Originally eight remained in Myriad Demons Country, but now only three were left. Aside from Yao Wumeng, who was unharmed and acted alone, out of the seven that stayed together, only two survived. They were Bu Yun, wielding the Ming Cloud Halberd, and Hao Chen, who had previously fled with severe injuries. No Domain Beads were lost.

The greatest losses were suffered by the Myriad Spirits Realm and the Myriad Gods Hall. Of the fifteen who stayed together, only four were left. However, the Domain Beads were intact, each held by one of the four survivors. Among these four were Bi Hai and Jixin, who had previously clashed with Bu Yun and Hao Chen from the Myriad Demons Country.

So far, the Six Kingdoms War had been raging for a day and a night. Yet, during this time, from the seventy-two participants of the Six Great Divine Nations, the majority had perished. This Six Kingdoms War was truly unprecedented in its danger. It was a tremendous test of a person's willpower, physical strength, judgment, and luck.

Those who survived this Six Kingdoms War would undoubtedly become famous powerhouses in their own right. Even if they could not reach the end of the Supreme Path, they could come infinitely close.

Moreover, after a night of fighting and fleeing, everyone discovered two things. The first was that both the Black Mirror Scorpions and Tongtian Worms contained a type of crystalline body within them. This crystalline body not only held immense nature's spiritual energy but also contained the pure Law of Earth.

This Law was completely different from any that people had encountered and absorbed before. If forced to say what was different, it could only be said that the Law within those crystals was the origin of all laws.

Furthermore, everyone discovered that the poisonous insects and fierce beasts in the desert seemed to have poor eyesight, relying only on heat and scent to detect their surroundings. That is why those large groups gathered together suffered extremely ferocious attacks. Those who were alone or deliberately acted alone, although still in danger, were not so difficult to deal with.

Therefore, those who acted alone not only killed many poisonous insects and fierce beasts that night but also obtained many of those crystalline bodies. The biggest beneficiary among them was the Six-Eared Macaque. Being of Earth Attribute and having received Hou Tu's blessing in the Pangu Realm to become the Hou Tu God Ape, the Six-Eared Macaque in this boundless desert was truly in its element.

That was why it could hide beneath the sands without being discovered by anyone; if not for its deliberate release of Divine Sense that allowed Lin Xi to notice, perhaps no one would have known a Six-Eared Macaque lurked beneath their feet until the very end.

Therefore, after obtaining the first crystalline body, the Six-Eared Macaque was so elated it could barely contain its glee. Feeling the rich Law of Earth within those crystalline bodies, it truly felt it had come to the right place.

After consuming the first crystal, the Six-Eared Macaque suddenly felt that the poisonous insects and fierce beasts were not so repulsive after all; in fact, the desert became a treasure trove for its cultivation.

As long as he could consume enough of this type of crystalline body, he might very well comprehend or obtain the Elemental Origin of Earth. Why could only the Domain Lord use the World Suppressing Stele? Why were those Domain Lords obviously at the Supreme Peak but when compared to other Supreme Peaks, the difference was like heaven and earth?

That was because every one of those Domain Lords possessed an Elemental Origin.

For instance, the Domain Lord of the Genesis Divine Nation controlled the origin power of creation, while the Domain Lord of the Annihilation Demon Nation controlled the origin power of destruction, and the Domain Lord of the Netherworld World controlled the origin power of death, and so on.

This origin power came from the World Suppressing Stele; each Domain Lord would inherit this origin power from the Stele, thereby gaining the powerful strength to rule over their entire Divine Kingdom.

As far as he was aware, other than through inheriting from the World Suppressing Stele, there was no other way to gain this origin power. That was why the Six-Eared Macaque was so overjoyed, yet he didn't get overly excited or proud.

If he could discover this, then others certainly could as well, and the next two days would be about who could acquire more of these crystalline bodies and then absorb them. It appeared that, after the end of the Six Kingdoms War, there would be one final decisive battle. That was when the real show would begin.

And whether one could survive in that final battle entirely depended on how many of these crystalline bodies one could absorb in these two days. Therefore, the Six-Eared Macaque had already placed all his attention on absorbing the crystalline bodies and killing the Black Mirror Scorpions or Tongtian Worms.

Although all the creatures in this Sand Realm had these crystalline bodies, only the ones inside Black Mirror Scorpions and Tongtian Worms were the easiest to absorb and contained the most concentrated origin power.

At this moment, almost everyone still alive had discovered this point, resulting in a completely opposite scene from last night. Last night was countless Black Mirror Scorpions and Tongtian Worms hunting all the combatants, while today people were frantically searching everywhere for Black Mirror Scorpions and Tongtian Worms to kill them and extract their crystalline bodies.

It was like a match for revenge, with everyone, including the Six-Eared Macaque, madly searching, then killing, extracting crystalline bodies, consuming them, refining them, and then continuing to search.

Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that some individuals, consumed with bloodlust, failed to notice the response from their Domain Bead, resulting in two people hunting Black Mirror Scorpions or Tongtian Worms suddenly encountering each other. Those of the same faction would nod at each other and then join forces. Those from opposing factions would engage in battle without a second word.

Among those who encountered each other was the Six-Eared Macaque. However, he had deliberately approached a lone Domain Bead, only to discover that the person was a comrade from the Netherworld World, and he was the sole survivor from those five individuals last night. So the two joined forces and, after a brief rest and exchanging information, continued the hunt.

But what the Six-Eared Macaque told him was that he had obtained six Domain Beads, while the other told the Six-Eared Macaque that four out of their group of five had died, and he currently only had three Domain Beads on him; the one lost last night had not been found.

Among those who encountered individuals from enemy factions was the Netherworld King of Qin from Netherworld World. The King of Qin had planned to use the corpses created by the Imperial Ghost Seal to lure those alone into a trap because he had thrown a Domain Bead beside those two fake bodies.

However, to his frustration, the first group that arrived wasn't the solitary individual he had sensed before, but instead seven people from Myriad Demons Country that had banded together.

Thus, with an almost blood-spitting expression on his face, the King of Qin could only watch as his Domain Bead was easily taken away by them before they departed.

Then, those who had converged because they sensed that eight Domain Beads had come together, meaning that at least eight individuals from one faction had gathered, wouldn't dare to meet these eight individuals easily without their own allies.

Hence, up until night fell, the King of Qin didn't encounter anyone else and, without the response from the Domain Bead, he couldn't know the movements of the others. Therefore, he didn't dare to wander recklessly; if he accidentally encountered people from an enemy faction, he would be fine if they were alone, but if it was a group, he would certainly be doomed.

However, fate was not kind to him; after nightfall, when the myriad Black Mirror Scorpions and Tongtian Worms went berserk, the King of Qin had no choice but to flee for his life. But it was during this flight that he stumbled upon a Domain Bead. Afterwards, using the response from the Domain Bead, he successfully found two other people desperately fleeing.

Then, with the Imperial Ghost Seal unleashed and the Soul-Transforming Banner in motion, countless ferocious demons and evil spirits appeared, along with myriad venomous insects and savage beasts, tearing those two to countless pieces, before using the evil spirits to acquire their Domain Beads and then fleeing into the distance.
