Chapter 773: Chapter 774: The Decision of the Vermilion Bird (First Release!)

“Only one year of time!”

After carefully observing with his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes for a while, Sun Wukong concluded that, judging by the current speed of the spacetime wall’s hole repairing itself, it would only take one year for it to fully recover. In other words, he had to return from the spacetime on the other side of the wall within one year, or else he would be trapped there forever and never come back!

“One year, that should be enough!”

Sun Wukong thought for a moment and made his decision. He was going to check out the spacetime on the other side of the wall and have an adventure. Otherwise, he would definitely regret it!

“Swoosh!”

Two beams of golden light shot out from Sun Wukong’s eyes and shone upon the hole in the spacetime wall. Suddenly, the hole that no one but Sun Wukong could see became visible to everyone present, even the Vermilion Bird could see it clearly.

“What is that?”

The Vermilion Bird’s eyes widened in shock. He had not seen the hole in the spacetime wall before and had never seen anything like it. It looked very much like a spatial black hole, but it felt somewhat different.

“Ju Lo, that’s your passage home. Go on!”

Sun Wukong didn’t answer the Vermilion Bird but turned his gaze to the Chaos Demon, Ju Lo.

“A spacetime black hole! That’s a spacetime black hole! No wonder I couldn’t see it!”

Shocked, Ju Lo’s eyes flashed with amazement. A spacetime black hole was different from a spatial black hole; in addition to the Space Laws, it also contained the Time Law. That’s why he couldn’t see it, and after waking up, he hadn’t realized he was right beside this spacetime black hole.

But how could Sun Wukong see and reveal it? Just what was his Pupil Skill? It was so formidable!

With shock filling his heart, the Chaos Demon Ju Lo flew towards the spacetime black hole, feeling the terrifyingly sharp edge of the spacetime currents at its border–so sharp they could cut through anything. Ju Lo couldn’t help but swallow hard, thankful that he had not hit the spacetime currents when he crossed the spacetime black hole to this era, or else he would have earlier been shredded to pieces!

“I want to go too!”

The Vermilion Bird followed and stared firmly at Sun Wukong, “Wherever you go, I go!”

“This is a spacetime black hole. The other end leads to the Ancient Chaos Era from countless eons ago, the era when the Great God Pangu and the Chaos Demons had their great battle. Are you sure you want to follow me?”

Sun Wukong was a bit surprised. After thinking for a while, he still decided to tell the Vermilion Bird the truth. The Ancient Chaos Era was not like the present; those Chaos Demons would not be as easy to talk with as he was. Although the Vermilion Bird was impressive in the Chaos Vortex, in that era, he would be nothing special. Survival there would not be easy!

“The Ancient Chaos Era?”

The Vermilion Bird was taken aback, his gaze shifting to the Chaos Demon, Ju Lo. Sun Wukong nodded, “Yes, this guy is a Chaos Demon, who accidentally came through this spacetime black hole and past the spacetime wall to our era.”

Finally, the Vermilion Bird understood why the Chaos Demon Ju Lo had never appeared in the Chaos Vortex before; turns out he was not from this era at all!

“Then why do you want to go, Great Sage?”

The Vermilion Bird looked toward Sun Wukong. Their conversation had been carried out through private message transmission, not letting the Chaos Demon Ju Lo be aware of it.

“I, the Great Sage, am going to challenge those powerful Chaos Demons and seek a breakthrough!”

Sun Wukong’s eyes surged with intense fighting spirit, “In the Ancient Chaos Era, there were many strong beings like clouds in the sky, many among the Chaos Demons were stronger than Ju Lo. I, Old Sun, want to challenge them! Only in battles of life and death can I grasp the opportunity to break through and achieve Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint in one fell swoop!”

“So, Great Saint, you wish to prove the Tao through strength, just like the Great God Pangu?”

The Vermilion Bird understood. It did not sense the aura of Slaying Three Corpses from Sun Wukong but rather a completely different momentum. It seemed that he had chosen the path of proving the Tao through strength.

Proving the Tao through strength, something no one had achieved since the Great God Pangu, this Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong truly had great ambition!

Sun Wukong nodded, accepting tacitly. The Vermilion Bird’s eyes whirled, and after a moment’s hesitation, it made a decision.

With a long cry to the heavens, the Vermilion Bird unleashed a burst of Flame from its mouth, but upon closer inspection, one would realize it was not flame, but a cluster of blood infused with its Origin Power.

The next moment, a strange array of Runes appeared behind the Vermilion Bird, quickly passing through its body and rapidly shrinking before entering the blood cluster and flying toward Sun Wukong’s forehead.

“An equal contract?”

Sun Wukong was surprised as the blood touched his forehead and quickly sank in. He immediately felt a blood connection with the Vermilion Bird, similar to the relationship he had with the Dragon Cat and the Dragon Scorpion.

“Why?”

Sun Wukong was puzzled. The Vermilion Bird was among the elite of Divine Beasts; why would it suddenly form an equal contract with him?

Divine Beasts were typically proud and seldom attached themselves to others. Could it be just for a chance to see the other side of the wall of space and time that the Vermilion Bird would so easily sell itself?

“I think following you will be more promising!”

The Vermilion Bird was succinct. It had communicated with the Dragon Cat and the Dragon Scorpion, both of whom had formed equal contracts with Sun Wukong. Their strength had increased rapidly, and there were few restrictions on them. Such a good deal was of course tempting to the Vermilion Bird.

If it wanted to see the Ancient Chaos Era on the other side of the wall of space and time, then becoming Sun Wukong’s equal contract partner was the best course of action. This way, the Vermilion Bird could justifiably accept Sun Wukong’s protection.

“You’re quite forthright!”

Sun Wukong managed a wry smile. The equal contract had already been signed; what else could he say?

“You three, back into the Ruyi Qiankun Bag. The sharp chaos of the Spacetime Black Hole is incredibly fierce. Touching it could cause injury!”

After instructing the trio of the Dragon Cat, they nodded, transformed into three streaks of light, and shot into the Ruyi Qiankun Bag at Sun Wukong’s waist. Sun Wukong then turned to the Chaos Demon Ju Lo and said, “Let’s go!”

The Chaos Demon Ju Lo glanced at the Ruyi Qiankun Bag at Sun Wukong’s waist, surprised. Although Chaos Demons were powerful, they had never seen a Magical Treasure like the Ruyi Qiankun Bag that could accommodate others.

But Ju Lo also knew that Sun Wukong was unlikely to explain anything to him, so he had to curb his curiosity and took the lead in diving into the Spacetime Black Hole.

When you meet the Demon Emperor, we’ll see how arrogant you can be! Then, I will force out every secret you possess!

Sun Wukong did not notice the expression on the Chaos Demon Ju Lo’s face, and even if he had, he would not have been concerned. With a shift in his body, he followed Ju Lo into the Spacetime Black Hole.

A pitch-black and prolonged passage, its end invisible to the eye, as countless chaotic flows of time and space came rushing forward, sweeping past Sun Wukong and the Chaos Demon Ju Lo.
