532: There is another secret

Franklin's breathing hitched; he knew that what Tang Ku said was true.

To some extent, he had only mastered the Elementary Law of Lightning, because the threshold for the Law of Electromagnetism was simply too high; among the Great Leaders under the Master, his strength was the weakest.

Of course, this also had to do with Franklin's mindset.

He was a scientist, but also a politician, and human energy was limited.

After dedicating all his mental energy to schemes and plots, his cultivation gradually drifted further and further from the others.

However, he still possessed immense self-confidence; after all, there were not many people in this world who could reach his Realm!

Yet today, he knew that he had indeed been too arrogant!

Tang Ku's words laid bare his current predicament, because the wounds on the seemingly thin and small monkey opposite him were constantly squirming, growing granulation tissue, and connecting in a bizarre manner to regrow flesh.

The monkey smacked his lips, tilted his head to look at Franklin, and cackled: "Old man, you have no idea who Old Sun is... right?"

Hum!

The monkey's body suddenly moved, and then, surprisingly, it rapidly expanded.

Right there above Chang'an City, he unleashed the Divine Ability, Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth.

"?!"

Franklin almost cursed.

He had only ever seen this Divine Ability used by his Master.

In the eyes of a scientist, this ability was almost impossible to exist, because if one wanted to make the body that large, it would require absorbing a massive amount of energy to maintain the balance of various forces within the body.

And if the body grew larger while maintaining its previous density, it would become abnormally heavy; at a height of several hundred feet, the body's weight would increase geometrically.

In other words, this state completely violated the fundamental principle of conservation of energy... because after this monkey transformed, he could still maintain his previous speed.

Whether it was movement speed or the speed of swinging his staff!

That's right, the moment Franklin saw Sun Wukong grow larger, the similarly gigantic Ruyi Jingu Bang had already landed on his head.

Boom!

Franklin's entire body was smashed into the ground.

If not for his body's ability to Incarnate into lightning, this strike probably would have claimed his life.

Sun Wukong did not let up.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand, like a pillar, descended from the sky and smashed fiercely onto Franklin's body.

A type of energy he had never seen before followed the pillar and slammed violently into his chest, pressing him down another three to five meters.

Wherever the energy passed, it sealed all the meridians in his body, making him unable to mobilize energy to Incarnate into lightning and escape.

And this pillar was like a pile driver, fiercely pounding down, strike after strike, as if pounding garlic.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

The entire Chang'an City could hear this sound; the earth seemed to be trembling, and houses seemed to be constantly swaying.

Tang Ku couldn't help but smack his lips and say, "Alright, alright, Wukong, we still have questions for him, don't beat him to death in a few strikes!"

"Got it, I'll do as you say, but this guy shouldn't die so easily!"

Swish!

The monkey's body instantly shrank, and he chuckled: "I didn't expect that after changing into this body, there would actually be such a benefit."

"The energy of the Yao Race, aggregated from ancient Yao Beasts, plus my soul energy, can actually restrict the changes of the power of Law to a certain extent... That's why this guy didn't have the slightest power to fight back!"

As he spoke, he plunged into the deep pit on the ground, grabbed Franklin, whose bones were shattered all over, and held him up, saying to Tang Ku: "He's not dead, still has a breath!"

Tang Ku nodded.

Xuanji Zi had already arrived in the sky and said to Tang Ku, "Holy Monk, that zombie body has been taken into the Jade Purification Vase by Guanyin and purified with the water from the vase."

"The sick people in the city vomited black blood at the same moment, and the black blood was mixed with quite a few tiny insects."

"That is the Gu; it seems this crisis has been resolved!"

Tang Ku grabbed Franklin and shook him gently.

Franklin struggled to open his eyes, his voice hoarse as he said, "It seems... I still have value to be used!"

"You are very smart, but smart people often don't live very long!"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "Your value is not that great, but I do have some questions to ask you... Of course, you can choose not to answer, but you should know the consequences!"

Franklin shook his head and said, "What you want to ask, I might not be able to answer..."

"No, you must be able to answer!"

Tang Ku stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Those people who invaded the Demon Realm... um, those Saint Legions who invaded the Demon Realm, who exactly are they?"

Franklin curled his lips and smiled bitterly, "Do you think I would know?"

"You don't know?"

Tang Ku said, "If you didn't know, then why did you quickly close the passage after letting the Demon Race out?"

"If you wanted to destroy this world, wouldn't it be better to let those terrifying guys come over?"

"Hmm, you might not know who they are or where they come from, but you certainly know how terrifying they are, and you must also know that they would definitely not be used by you, right?"

"You know quite a lot..."

Franklin laughed miserably and said, "That's right, they are outrageously strong, so much so that even the Master is unwilling to confront them head-on..."

"In fact, in terms of pure power, the Master is actually not afraid of them, but their numbers are too vast."

"Even a Saint, facing so many alien powerhouses with the strength of a Saint, could not possibly have a chance of winning!"

"So..."

Tang Ku suddenly thought of a terrifying thing, "The Heavenly Court... the Western Buddhist Realm, and the Underworld... were they destroyed by you?"

"Uh..." Franklin couldn't help but be stunned, then said, "What are you talking about?"

"Although we used the bodies of many beings from the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld, the demise of these two worlds had nothing to do with us."

"Speaking of which, we were just scavengers!"

"Scavengers!"

Tang Ku was slightly stunned, then said, "That is to say, the Heavenly Court was not exterminated by you?"

"Before you reached the Heavenly Court, the entire Heavenly Court world had already..."

"Our Master is extremely powerful, even to a certain extent, stronger than a Saint!"

Franklin shook his head and said, "However, he does not conquer this world through slaughter..."

"We Great Leaders compete with each other, and those who do not value life, who treat life like grass, have been marginalized."

"For example, me... He would absolutely never, at any time or in any place, engage in slaughter!"

Franklin's words were filled with helplessness, a helplessness regarding his own situation.

Tang Ku rubbed his nose: "In other words... actually, our true enemy... is also not you?"
