SWNOVELXO Chapter 115 Cloud Sea Golden Dragon
```
Before his words fell, Sun Wukong had already charged towards the Dragon-Tiger Beast, with a layer of gray glow shining upon his right fist. The Power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was activated, and he smashed a fierce punch onto the Dragon-Tiger Beast.
"Roar~!"
The Dragon-Tiger Beast, with eyes void of spirit and only confusion, flashed a cold murderous intent. With a flick of the dragon head, another gust of wind rushed out, aimed at Sun Wukong.
"This move again! Hmph!"
Sun Wukong let out a cold snort. He had only chosen to retreat before because the situation was unclear, but now, there was just one word for it: fight!
Without dodging or avoiding, Sun Wukong punched directly into the strong wind exhaled by the Dragon-Tiger Beast, the Power of Reincarnation stirring, dispersing the wind, his form unchanged as he continued to rush towards the Dragon-Tiger Beast, landing another punch on its slightly stunned dragon head.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out as the body of the Dragon-Tiger Beast flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into the forest and breaking the trees in its path, dragging a deep gash in the ground.
"It's not over yet!"
In a flash, Sun Wukong used 'Shrinking Earth into Inches' to follow up. Another muffled sound was heard as the body of the Dragon-Tiger Beast traced a parabola from the woods and heavily fell in front of Mu Chenxuan. A painful shriek was emitted and the next moment, its body was abruptly flung into the air.
Yes, flung into the air, because Sun Wukong had already appeared behind it, seizing its tiger tail, and began spinning it around like one would swing a large sack, hurling it toward the ground on the other side.
Boom!
"Dragon-Tiger Beast, huh, quite formidable, huh?"
Boom!
"Show me how formidable you can be for your old Sun, huh?"
Boom!
"Just because you have a dragon head, do you really think you're a dragon, huh?"
Boom!
"In front of your old Sun, if you're a dragon you coil up, if you're a tiger you lay down! Daring to show off in front of your old Sun, I'll beat you to death!"
Boom boom boom boom boom!
In the midst of the roaring sounds that made Mu Chenxuan's scalp prick and his teeth sour, the Dragon-Tiger Beast was swung around and smashed by Sun Wukong countless times. Had its body not been robust, it would have been smashed beyond recognition long ago.
Its once formidable and murderous appearance had vanished without a trace, replaced by nothing but pitiful whimpers occasionally emitted from its mouth, like a small cat.
Sun Wukong also had enough of venting. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the Dragon-Tiger Beast to the side of the road, threw a clump of True Solar Fire that landed squarely on its body, and suddenly spread. Within a few breaths, the already defenseless Dragon-Tiger Beast was burnt to ashes.
"Uh, Brother Wukong, you, are you alright?"
Mu Chenxuan swallowed nervously; this was the first time he had seen such a violent side of Sun Wukong. Thinking of the painful end the Dragon-Tiger Beast met before its death, a chill rushed from Mu Chenxuan's tailbone to crown of his head, and he couldn't help but look at Sun Wukong with a tinge of fear.
"I'm fine! Your old Sun is feeling very good!"
Sun Wukong shook off his hand, looking utterly refreshed, "After a bit of release, I feel much better!"
"..."
Mu Chenxuan was at a loss for words. Sun Wukong, when violent, was truly frightening—it was a pity for that Dragon-Tiger Beast! But considering the state of the Dragon-Tiger Beast, it had been dead for many years and had been transformed into a half-dead and half-alive undead creature by the influence of corpse qi. There was nothing regrettable about its destruction.
"Strange, how did the Dragon-Tiger Beast end up here?"
Inside the Dantian, Ao Tian was still puzzled by the appearance of the Dragon-Tiger Beast. All the Dragon-Tiger Beasts had been imprisoned by the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Dragon Clan in the Beast Spirit Mountain Range during the ancient times. How could one appear here? And turned into an undead!
"So many years have passed, you wouldn't figure out the reason even if you racked your divine soul. Since we've already come to this Heavenly Dragon Valley, why not just check out the Beast Spirit Mountain Range you mentioned?"
```
After sleeping for many years and finally waking up, Sun Wukong felt a buildup of stagnant fury within him that needed to be vented, which he had just released upon the Undead Dragon-Tiger Beast. Now he felt quite pleased.
"Indeed, going to have a look will tell. But let's retrieve the Chaos Dragon Divine Armor first."
Ao Tian nodded greatly, "Wukong, you must be careful. I always feel there is something strange about Heavenly Dragon Valley now, as if some mishap occurred after the ancient battle with the Witch-Demons."
"Don't worry, your venerable Sun isn't a newborn calf. It's not so easy to capsize in the gutter!"
Sun Wukong chuckled, having anticipated this trip to Dragon Valley would not be as smooth as imagined. Although Ao Tian had been absolutely confident earlier, after so many years, if no incident had occurred in Dragon Valley, the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Clan would have likely been plundered long ago, and the Chaos Dragon Divine Armor would have been taken.
It wouldn't have been his turn to collect it.
Fortune favors the bold; how could there be great rewards without taking risks? Besides, hadn't Sun Wukong made preparations long ago by bringing along Mu Chenxuan, a half-step Quasi-Saint? If there truly was something they couldn't handle, he couldn't just stand idly by, could he?
"Brother Wukong, do I have something on my face? That smile of yours is really... unnerving!" Discover hidden stories at empire
Mu Chenxuan felt a sudden chill and looked at Sun Wukong's smile towards him, feeling it somewhat ill-intentioned.
"Is there? How sincere your venerable Sun's smile is, what kind of eyes do you have?"
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, "Let's go, let's get the treasure from the Dragon Nest first. Be cautious, a mishap definitely occurred here, attacks could happen at any moment!"
The Dragon Nest was located on Dragon Island in the deepest reaches of Heavenly Dragon Valley. According to Ao Tian, to move from one Dragon Island to another, aside from flying across the Cloud Sea, there was only one path—crossing over the iron chain bridges that connected the islands.
Following Ao Tian's lead, Sun Wukong, along with Mu Chenxuan, made their way through a dense forest path in the valley of the Dragon Island they were currently on and arrived at the edge of Dragon Island. Along the way, two more Undead Dragon-Tiger Beasts sprung out to attack them but were dispatched by Sun Wukong and Mu Chenxuan, one each.
The strength of these Undead Dragon-Tiger Beasts wasn't too great, maintaining the level of cultivation they had while alive. The most formidable of the three was only at the Realm of Taiyi Scattered Immortal, but their strength was much greater than that of an ordinary one at this level.
What Sun Wukong found most peculiar was that these attacking beasts seemed to have retained little of their Divine Consciousness, completely oblivious to what fear was, possessing only the instinct to attack and kill. To say they were fiercely undaunted by death was an understatement—they simply sought mutual destruction.
It was fortunate that both he and Mu Chenxuan's cultivation strength far surpassed these beasts; otherwise, it would have indeed been a headache.
"Brother Wukong, are you sure this is the way to the other Dragon Island?"
Standing on the edge of Dragon Island, looking at the iron chain bridge extending into the Cloud Sea, Mu Chenxuan's expression was somewhat troubled. Calling it an iron chain bridge was a bit of a stretch; they were nothing more than two thick iron chains, each as thick as a man's waist.
Mu Chenxuan knocked on it, producing a clear clang, which seemed very solid, but who could say whether they were all as sturdy? What if they snapped midway?
"Of course I'm sure!"
Sun Wukong nodded his head; this was what Ao Tian had said—that this was the passage for the young dragons of the Heavenly Dragon Clan to travel between the islands. The two chains were enough for two young dragons to pass at the same time. As for how staunch they were, Ao Tian had mentioned there was no need to worry; the chains were made from ten-thousand-year-old cold iron.
Unless it was a Treasured Sword at the level of the Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying cutting them, ordinary Magical Treasures would leave no mark whatsoever.
"Brother Mu, even if these chains really were to break, at worst, we could just soar through the clouds. We'd just consume a bit of mana, no big deal. Why be so nervous?"
Sun Wukong said with a light laugh, Mu Chenxuan forcing a somewhat awkward smile. Perhaps he really was being too cautious. But there was a persisting sense of unease about Heavenly Dragon Valley. He couldn't quite put his finger on it; maybe so many years sealed in a Stellar Spiritual Qi Light Sphere made him overly anxious.
Shaking his head to cast aside the random thoughts in his mind, Mu Chenxuan and Sun Wukong each hopped onto a chain and sprinted towards the Cloud Sea.
"These chains are actually quite robust."
After running along the chains for a while, Mu Chenxuan's worries faded a bit. He and Sun Wukong had been running on the chains for half the day, and the chains didn't show the slightest tremor, which proved their solidity. It seemed he really had been a little too... sensitive before.
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, Sun Wukong bellowed out loud and abruptly jerked to a halt, flipping backward in flight. Mu Chenxuan was startled and about to ask what was wrong when he saw a giant Golden Arrow flying towards them and striking heavily where Sun Wukong had just been standing.
The iron chain, previously stable, now swayed violently from the impact of the Golden Arrow, which then shattered and dissipated as Metal Attribute Spiritual Energy.
"We're under attack!"
Mu Chenxuan's pupils shrank sharply as his face darkened; his instincts had been right—this Cloud Sea was not going to be easy to cross!
"Rawr~!"
A dragon's roar filled with murderous intent came from the direction the Golden Arrow had been shot. The next moment, a Golden Dragon, thousands of feet long, emerged from the Cloud Sea, its body glowing with golden light, looking immensely formidable. Its dragon eyes, full of murderous intent, locked onto Sun Wukong and Mu Chenxuan.
Opening its mouth, several more Golden Arrows formed, shooting towards the two.
"A Taiyi Golden Immortal level Golden Dragon!"
Sun Wukong and Mu Chenxuan swiftly dodged. The Golden Arrows struck the chains, making them shake even more violently. In Sun Wukong's eyes, a flash of golden light, his entire pupils turned gold, with three star-shaped points forming in his eyes. He activated the Second Phase of Void-Breaking Divine Eye, peering at the Golden Dragon.
This was indeed a Taiyi Golden Immortal level Golden Dragon, and unlike those Four Seas Dragon Kings who had the cultivation but couldn't match up in Combat Power, this Golden Dragon radiated dragon essence all over, overflowing with dragon might, clearly not an easy adversary!
