The tiger-headed giant scorpion, having suffered severe injuries, revealed fear in its eyes. The barbaric ancient beasts are not the kind of fierce beasts that disregard life and death. Although they are naturally cruel and love to kill, they can also feel fear when facing an enemy stronger than themselves. The scorpion legs hidden beneath the yellow sand began to dig quickly, and the tiger-headed giant scorpion turned, attempting to burrow into the sand below. "Trying to escape? Did you ask me, your old Sun?" Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with determination. This yellow sand area is obviously the resting place of the tiger-headed giant scorpion. If it manages to escape, its injuries might be healed by the time it appears again. Moreover, Sun Wukong was busy trying to pass the challenges and didn't have the time to be delayed by this tiger-headed giant scorpion. At once, Sun Wukong charged forward, grabbing the tail hammer of the tiger-headed giant scorpion with both hands and fiercely pulling it back. Another tail hammer, hidden in another dimension, swung toward Sun Wukong, but was blocked by his external incarnation. Sun Wukong urged the Divine Core Primordial Force within him, pulling hard backward, while the tiger-headed giant scorpion relentlessly burrowed into the sand, resulting in a momentary stalemate. "This beast certainly possesses great strength! Ha, I don't believe it! If you escape from me, your old Sun today, my title as Great Sage Equalling Heaven shall be reversed!" Stubbornness rose in Sun Wukong's heart. Clenching his teeth, he directly activated the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, his body suddenly growing as large as a towering mountain. This time, the tiger-headed giant scorpion's body size no longer held any advantage! After deploying the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, Sun Wukong not only increased in size but also his physical strength surged tenfold. Grabbing the tail hammer of the tiger-headed giant scorpion with one hand, he yanked it, pulling the entire scorpion out of the yellow sand. "Try running again now!" Holding the tiger-headed giant scorpion upside down in midair, Sun Wukong grinned. Suddenly, his face was heavily struck, causing Sun Wukong to furrow his brows and grimace. It was the hidden tail hammer of the tiger-headed giant scorpion! In a moment of pride, he had neglected its concealment ability! "Damn it, even at the brink of death, you dare act violently? Today, your old Sun will tear you apart!" With one hand gripping the tiger-headed giant scorpion's tangible tail hammer, the other one seized its head. Sun Wukong's enormous fingers dug into the bloody holes atop the scorpion's head, pulling fiercely. The tiger-headed giant scorpion let out earth-shattering screams of pain, and the hidden tail hammer from another space layer reappeared, striking towards Sun Wukong's face. But this time, Sun Wukong was prepared. His external incarnation wielded the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod to block the tail hammer, then the rod suddenly vanished. His external incarnation grabbed the hidden tail hammer, simultaneously deploying the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth. Another Myriad Fathom Divine Monkey manifested, tightly gripping the scorpion's other tail hammer. Now, the seized tail hammer couldn't retreat into another spatial layer. "Beast! Let's see if you can escape the heavens this time!" With a cold laugh, Sun Wukong and his external incarnation began a tug-of-war. Sun Wukong grabbed one tail hammer, dug into the bloody hole on the scorpion's head, while his external incarnation grabbed the other tail hammer. Simultaneously pulling in three directions with force! With a crisp sound, the hidden tail hammer of the tiger-headed giant scorpion was forcefully pulled off. A bloody hole suddenly appeared near its tail, with dark green blood spraying out from it. Compared to the always-tangible tail hammer, this one hidden in another spatial layer capable of becoming ethereal was evidently not as strong, being forcefully separated from its body! "Roar~!" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novｅlfire.net The tiger-headed giant scorpion twisted desperately, the loss of a tail hammer causing it unbearable pain. But Sun Wukong's hands were like iron clamps, tightly gripping its tiger head and the other tail hammer, rendering it unable to break free. "These barbaric ancient beasts have strong physical bodies and adequate strength, but their spiritual wisdom is far too low. They don't understand how to manipulate Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, let alone the Great Dao Laws. No wonder they are enslaved!" Survival of the fittest, an eternal law! Creatures like the giant worms or tiger-headed giant scorpions, despite their innate talent, with strong physical bodies and power, are limited only to that. Without developed spiritual wisdom, there's no room for progress. Even if Innate strength is powerful, they will ultimately be surpassed and become playthings of others. Sun Wukong thought of the Yuan Realm's thousands of years of humiliating history, so similar to these barbaric ancient beasts, equally enslaved. Had he not broken through to the Hollow Void Realm, slain the divine envoys of the Cangqiong Immortal Palace, and closed the Dimensional Gate, the Yuan Realm would likely remain enslaved. Ultimately, it's because their strength wasn't sufficient! To raise the world level of his realm isn't without a method. Achieving the True God Realm can empower the Heavenly Dao Laws of his world by sheer individual strength, enhancing it. Thus, Sun Wukong must quickly ascend to the True God Realm to reshape the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Yuan Realm, raising the world level and connecting it with the Han Hai Realm. Only then would he have the qualification to seek justice from the Cangqiong Immortal Palace! And to achieve the True God Realm quickly, the best way is through cultivation at the Holy Book Academy! Therefore, he must secure the highest evaluation in this fourth challenge! "Your old Sun shall proceed to the next level, so I'm sorry, but you must die!" Murmuring softly, Sun Wukong's arms were enveloped by burning Primordial Golden Flames, which started burning towards the body of the tiger-headed giant scorpion. The tiger-headed giant scorpion's howls grew louder as its entire body became engulfed by flames, with tongues of fire emerging from within. In an instant, the tiger-headed giant scorpion was entirely shrouded in golden flames, its howls gradually diminishing. A surge of pure energy suddenly emanated from the body of the tiger-headed giant scorpion wrapped in Primordial Golden Flames, spreading in all directions. Sun Wukong, sensing this, involuntarily paused. The next moment, he suddenly realized that this was the refined essence formed after the tiger-headed giant scorpion's flesh was burned by the Primordial Golden Flames! Such an essence must not be wasted! Letting his clone continue to hold the scorpion and urge the Primordial Golden Flames for refinement, Sun Wukong sat down cross-legged, activating the Primordial Divine Technique, inhaling the refined essence from the tiger-headed giant scorpion into his body. Sun Wukong clearly felt that the Divine Core Primordial Force consumed during his previous challenges was rapidly replenishing after absorbing the refined essence of the tiger-headed giant scorpion, with a sense of fullness. If such an immense amount of essence came several times more, perhaps he could directly break through the bottleneck of the Hollow Void Realm!
