199: Chapter 199 The Monkey King and the Sword God, Clashing Head-to-Head!

At the edge of the Boundary Sea, time and space are chaotic, and Laws are shattered.

Stellar wreckage and continental fragments left from wars across countless eras float like silent tombstones in this eternal darkness.

A massive, heart-palpitating fleet is moving forward at a constant speed, breaking through the waves in this sea of death.

The fleet's flagship, the zhou tian star boat, is a giant divine vessel spanning hundreds of millions of miles.

This boat is forged entirely from the cores of Ancient Star Cores; hundreds of millions of runes on its hull draw upon the power of the stars in the sky, transforming into a layer of brilliant and resilient protective starlight that isolates the chaotic energy and space-time storms of the Boundary Sea.

On the boat, millions of Heavenly Court soldiers in silver armor and holding heavenly halberds stand solemnly, their aura merging with the divine boat, creating an iron-blooded and murderous military momentum that makes even this deathly silent Boundary Sea tremble.

At this moment, on the widest deck of the zhou tian star boat, the atmosphere is subtle.

An invisible pressure makes the patrolling Heavenly Soldiers and Generals subconsciously avoid this area, their breathing becoming much lighter.

The source of the pressure is the two people facing off in the center of the deck.

A child about three years old and a monkey with a hairy face and a mouth like a thunder god's.

The monkey is dressed in Golden Chainmail Armor, a Phoenix-Winged Purple Gold Crown, and Lotus Silk Cloud-Walking Boots; he is scratching his head, his Fiery Golden Eyes darting around incessantly.

It is precisely the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, who was just summoned through the System and titled the "Victorious Fighting Buddha" by Li Xuan!

Newly arrived and in the midst of such a magnificent expeditionary fleet, every pore of Sun Wukong's body exudes excitement and combativeness. His gaze sweeps across the deck, looking at everyone as if they were opponents he could exchange a few blows with, his sharp eyes seemingly saying: "You little brats, which of you can have a fight with Old Sun?"

Though the Heavenly Court soldiers were strong, none could enter his Dharma Eye.

Until his gaze landed on the child dressed in white holding a long sword.

Li Changsheng!

Li Xuan's eldest son, a Born Sword God with the Grandmist Chaos Sword Body!

He looks like a mere three-year-old toddler, yet his jet-black hair moves without wind, and his entire body exudes a sharp Qi refined to the extreme. That Qi is not deliberately released but is innate; he himself is a supreme divine sword capable of cutting through the eternal blue sky.

Just by standing there quietly, he causes ripples to appear in the surrounding space, as if it cannot withstand even the slightest bit of his dissipating Sword Intent.

Sun Wukong's Fiery Golden Eyes suddenly lit up, and the grin on his face widened further.

"Good fellow! What intense Battle Intent!"

This feeling was like a Taotie that had been hungry for three days suddenly seeing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!

He could feel that the power contained within this little sprout in front of him was sharp, pure, and powerful! He is definitely a good opponent!

"Hey, you little brat with the sword!" Sun Wukong carried the ruyi jingu bang on his shoulder, tilted his head, and whistled at Li Changsheng, his tone carrying a bit of bored provocation, "Is that sword of yours a fire poker? It looks quite intimidating, but I wonder if it's sturdy?"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals all gasped.

That is the eldest son of the Heavenly Emperor, the future Dominator of the Sword Dao, a being who at three years old could suppress a Great Sage! You old senior dare to provoke him like this on your first day; are you trying to poke a hole in the sky? Oh right, you've actually done that before.

Hearing this, Li Changsheng slowly raised his eyelids.

His eyes were calm, without the slightest ripple, like two bottomless ancient wells reflecting the birth and death of the stars in the heavens.

He just looked at Sun Wukong quietly without speaking, but the sharp Sword Intent around him suddenly surged several levels!

"Buzz—"

The long sword in his hand began to tremble slightly, and a terrifying aura of world-splitting began to condense. The indestructible Star Divine Iron on the deck was actually pressed with fine scratches by this invisible Sword Intent!

The space between the two began to show spider-web-like black cracks.

On one side was an incredibly violent, sky-high Battle Intent that wanted to shatter everything!

On the other side was a supreme Sword Intent, extremely sharp and capable of cutting through everything!

Two completely different powers collided violently in the Void Realm, emitting a "crackling" sound of explosions. An invisible storm centered on the two of them spread outward; the weaker Heavenly Soldiers were blown away, their faces filled with horror.

"Interesting! Interesting!" Sun Wukong felt the Sword Intent stinging his skin, but instead of being startled, he was delighted and gave an excited cry.

He slammed the ruyi jingu bang from his shoulder onto the ground!

"Thump!"

With a loud bang, the entire zhou tian star boat sank abruptly! As the golden cudgel landed on the deck, it was as if the Sea-Fixing Needle had been smashed into the East Sea Dragon Palace; a tyrannical and domineering power instantly spread, forcibly pushing back Li Changsheng's Sword Intent storm!

"Little brat, since you won't speak, let Old Sun test your mettle!"

Sun Wukong licked his lips, the golden light in his eyes flourishing. The golden cudgel in his hand grew with the wind, instantly transforming into a giant iron staff that connected heaven and earth, smashing down toward Li Changsheng with a terrifying wind pressure that tore through the Void Realm!

Li Changsheng remained expressionless, but his right hand holding the sword had already been raised, and an even more terrifying Sword Intent mixed with the aura of Grandmist Chaos soared into the sky to meet that world-destroying strike!

The soldiers of the entire Heavenly Court Fleet were dumbfounded!

This... they're about to start fighting?

On the flagship? In front of Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor?

At the critical moment, a lazy and flat voice came from the towering Imperial Throne at the end of the deck.

"Ahem."

A light cough.

The voice was not loud, but it carried a supreme power as if his Will Manifests as Law.

Sun Wukong and Li Changsheng, who were about to strike, felt a gentle and irresistible force envelop them like a spring rain. That power had no offensive nature, but it easily smoothed out Wukong's violent Battle Intent and Changsheng's soaring Sword Intent.

The fragmenting Void Realm between the two instantly returned to its original state.

Sun Wukong only felt that the golden cudgel in his hand, which weighed 135 million catties, suddenly felt light as a feather, and he could no longer exert any strength.

Li Changsheng also felt the "Dao Sword" in his body, which was about to be unsheathed, being gently soothed by a warm power of the Great Dao, returning to peace.

The two of them simultaneously looked toward the Imperial Throne.

They saw Li Xuan leaning against the Imperial Throne made from a single piece of Chaos Divine Gold, resting his chin on one hand and looking at them with indifferent eyes, as if watching two children fighting over a piece of candy.

He didn't even stand up; with just a light cough, he neutralized a Peak duel capable of shattering stars.

"Father!" Li Changsheng sheathed his sword and stood, bowing slightly.

"Uh..." Sun Wukong scratched his head and chuckled, shrinking the golden cudgel back to its normal size and carrying it on his shoulder, cupping his hands to Li Xuan, "Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

Though he was wild and untameable, he still maintained the most basic respect for truly powerful beings. Li Xuan's strength was unfathomable, far beyond his own; he knew this in his heart.

Li Xuan's gaze swept over the two of them, and he spoke slowly, his voice flat but unquestionable: "Business first."

He reached out his finger and tapped the air.

A giant Star Map unfolded above the deck, which was a detailed map of the edge of the Boundary Sea. In one corner of the map, there was a giant island shrouded in dense blood-red light, marked with three twisted dark runes—Devils Island.

An aura of evil, Chaos, and depravity, even through the Star Map, made one feel uneasy.

"There will be plenty of opportunities to fight," Li Xuan said, pointing at that blood-red island, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint arc.

"Once we arrive there, you can compete to see who smashes more things."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes instantly lit up like two suns!

You can play like that? That's great!

He turned to look at Li Changsheng, grinned to reveal a row of white teeth, and silently mouthed: "I'm going to win!"

Li Changsheng merely gave him a cold glance, his eyes full of aloof confidence. Although he didn't speak, the meaning couldn't be clearer: Just you, monkey?

"Alright! It's a deal!" Sun Wukong slapped his thigh in excitement, swinging the golden cudgel so fast it created a wind, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Old Sun guarantees that along the way, I'll smash that whatever Devils Island to pieces! I'll make sure nothing remains!"

He glanced at the expressionless Li Changsheng and added: "I'll definitely smash more than this little brat!"

Li Changsheng snorted coldly, not engaging in a war of words, but merely turning his gaze back to Devils Island on the Star Map, a faint flame already ignited in his eyes.

A war that had not yet begun seemed to have already raised the curtain on another battlefield.

Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, retracted the Star Map, closed his eyes, and continued to nap.

Where there is competition, there is motivation.

One is the matchless Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and the other is the unique Sword Dao prodigy of the ages.

When these two "troublemakers" are put together, as long as they are guided properly, they will definitely become the two sharpest knives in his hand.

Devils Island...

Are you ready to face the wrath of the Heavenly Court?

The zhou tian star boat cut through the darkness, moving forward at full speed toward that blood-colored abyss with an even more soaring Battle Intent!
