"Being able to stand is great. If it were Susanoo, he'd probably be unconscious by now, right?"

Observing Zhu Ganglie's uncertain gaze, Kaido finally smiled—a sincere and hearty smile.

However, in Zhu Ganglie's eyes, it was no different from the God of Death.

"The adorable Zhu Bajie turned into a pig demon like you. If Huaxia's children saw this, their hopes would be shattered."

The indifferent voice made Zhu Ganglie's fat body shrink. Although he sensed the shadow of death, his aura as a Heretic God compelled him to speak.

"I am a Heretic God, a deity who has deviated from the righteous path of mythology. It is impossible for me to do the same as that pig, subject to rules and norms."

Zhu Ganglie collapsed to the ground with a dull thud.

He let out a long grunt towards the sky.

"What a pity! Wine, women, gambling, breasts, buttocks, beautiful legs! There are so many things I haven't enjoyed yet, and I've become like this! Eldest Brother! You must avenge me!"

After saying that, Zhu Ganglie's pig head was pierced by Kaido's spear.

A thunderous explosion was heard, shaking almost the entire mountain range.

"No Authority?"

Kaido was surprised at first, but then shook his head helplessly. Fighting Zhu Ganglie was truly a thankless task.

If he wasn't mistaken, Zhu Ganglie should have been a subordinate god summoned by the Monkey King. Although he possessed the strength of a **God of Disobedience**, he was not a true descendant of one. Therefore, defeating him would not grant Authority.

However, Kaido only worried for a few seconds before no longer caring.

The number of Authorities wasn't what he yearned for most. After all, even increasing them wouldn't break the limit. If it was gone, it was gone; he was quite carefree.

As long as his women were safe and sound, that was enough.

"Then only those two remain."

Kaido shook his numb and slightly swollen arm, picked up the **Sacred Spear**, and flew toward Nikko Mountain again.

In the distance, Sayanomiya Kaoru and Ena Seishuuin, who had witnessed the scene thanks to their foresight ability, widened their eyes. Yuri Mariya also gaped, but none of them could articulate a word.

Zhu Ganglie, who was once Marshal Tianpeng, a Martial God serving the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, was actually killed instantly in that manner.

Even if the opponent was a Godslayer, such a result was too fantastic!

The girls' worldview was shattered once again.

Sayanomiya Kaoru felt a little dejected. If she had known earlier that he was such a ruthless person, capable of killing gods if they stood in his way, how could she have obeyed Susanoo's orders and caused Kaido such a dangerous first impression?

But this time, she had truly clung to a strong leg! From now on, no matter what others said, she would cling to him and never let go!

On the other side, beyond the Iroha slope, they were already in the vicinity of Lake Chuzenji, far from Nikko Mountain, but still within Tochigi Prefecture.

Here stood a peak called Mount Nantai, with an elevation of over two thousand four hundred meters.

Because it was a volcano, the soil and rocks near the summit contained a large amount of iron, which gave the mountaintop a reddish-brown color.

For the *God of Steel*, volcanoes and minerals were like a newborn's first warm bath, capable of increasing his power to a certain extent.

And the Monkey King, who had cunningly trapped Luo Hao in a stone prison, was here.

"To increase my power, there's no better place than here."

Sun Wukong, who was going against mythology, squatted on the mountaintop, muttering to himself.

He extended his hairy right hand and twirled his fingers.

"How strange. I clearly chanted the summoning spell earlier. Logically, my second and third brothers should have already arrived."

At that moment, the Monkey God looked towards the road below, and a red-haired man approached.

"Eldest Brother, I'm late."

The red-haired man took three steps at a time, quickly arriving before the monkey, clasping his hands in a greeting.

The man had dark skin, bristly hair like burning red flames, piercing eyes, a monstrously wide mouth, a necklace made of nine small skulls around his neck, and wore a simple, ancient monk's robe.

Anyone who has read *Journey to the West* will not be unfamiliar with his name.

Sha Seng, Sha Wujing, and Sha Heshang were all familiar nicknames. Before he became Tang Seng's disciple, he was the Curtain-Lifting General of the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Palace. Later, because he accidentally broke a **glass cup** and violated heavenly laws, he was banished from the heavens and became a demon.

He then caused trouble in the Quicksand River in the human world, harming the local area and feeding on passersby.

But the one summoned by the Monkey King was not the honest and hardworking Sha Seng, but a demonic god.

"How strange. You should have manifested long ago. Why are you only arriving now?"

The Monkey King asked.

"I met Second Eldest Brother halfway. At first, I wanted to accompany him, but he told me, 'We haven't been to the mortal realm in a long time, so it's not bad to rest around here.'"

The red-haired Sand Demon General said with a gloomy expression, and when imitating Zhu Ganglie, his tone became cheerful again.

"He also said that wine, gambling, women, beautiful legs, etc., were waiting for him to enjoy, so I parted ways with Second Eldest Brother halfway, which delayed me a bit."

The Sand Demon General returned to his gloomy expression.

"That fool really hasn't changed at all, but he no longer has much time for fun."

Sun Wukong, helpless and speechless, performed a hand seal, preparing to forcefully summon that lustful pig.

However, just as he was about to form the seal and cast the spell, a familiar voice reached his ears through a spell.

"...Eldest Brother, you must avenge me!"

The voice, mixed with reluctance and resentment, plunged the Monkey King and the Sand Demon General into a long silence.

Finally, the monkey broke the silence.

"I knew that idiot would cause trouble someday because of his lustful nature. Now, he's been sent back right after being summoned."

The Monkey King said, scratching his ears and cheeks, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Since it wasn't a true death, he felt no sadness, but rather cursed Zhu Ganglie.

"Forget it, lend me your power first to help me break the final shackles."

"I understand, Eldest Brother."

The Sand Demon General nodded with a somber tone.

*Qian*, strength; *Kun*, obedience; *Zhen*, movement; *Xun*, penetration; *Kan*, abyss; *Li*, radiance; *Gen*, stillness; *Dui*, joy.

The Monkey God no longer hesitated and chanted the **Magic Word**.

At the same time, all the spiritual energy and divine energy residing in Mount Nantai gathered into the Monkey King, the **God of Steel**, **Great Sage Equal to Heaven**.

The monkey, having absorbed the power, gained immense divine power.

Behind him, scorching flames appeared, like the tribulation fire in Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, and the mountaintop gradually melted into lava at this extremely high temperature.

The Sand Demon General also chanted the **Magic Word** beside him.

Soon, anomalies appeared in the sky and earth. The storm caused by the snake goddess Angela abruptly stopped, and after the rain, the sky cleared. A beautiful rainbow arched over Nikko Mountain, where daylight returned.

With the help of the Sand Demon General, the Monkey King also recovered the last suppressed bit of his divinity, truly becoming a **Heretic God** who went against mythology.

"Congratulations, Eldest Brother."

The Sand Demon General congratulated him.

And just then, amidst the beautiful rainbow, an invisible magical energy condensed into the form of a handsome young man on the partially bald Nikko Mountain, flying rapidly towards them.

He wore the armor of a Huaxia military general, held a trident, and besides his handsome appearance, his most striking feature was the "**vertical eye**" in the center of his forehead. The Monkey King examined his true form with his **Fiery Golden Eyes** and then said disdainfully, "It's actually the form of **Erlang Shen**. Those who sealed me really thought it through."

"If he manifested as a Heretic God, he would pose a threat to me, but he's just an illusion. I'll crush him with a single blow!"

Facing the illusion of Erlang Shen wielding his trident, the Monkey God pulled out his Ruyi Jingu Bang and shattered him in a few exchanges.

After killing the troublesome *Three-Eyed True Monarch*, the **Great Sage Equal to Heaven** immediately shouted, "There are still two troublesome **Demon King Lords**! After annihilating them all, I will summon Second Brother, and the three of us will work together to build our utopian kingdom in this land, just like Huaguo Mountain in the past!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of spiritual monkeys emerged from the top of Mount Nantai, finally clinging tightly to each other and transforming into a giant ape divine beast, tens of meters long.

Once the task was complete, the Monkey King and the Sand Demon General departed together for the distant Nikko Mountain.

---

Kaido arrived at the top of Nikko Mountain.

Here, due to the influence of Sun Wukong's spell, everything, including the trees, had turned into gray stone.

Luo Hao was sealed within.

"Oh, really? You've already come out?"

Ignoring the magical power expanding in the distance, Kaido felt the vibration from the ruins of Nikko Toshogu Shrine and smiled as he flew into the sky.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

The sound and vibrations grew stronger, and the intense trembling also changed the terrain near Nikko Toshogu Shrine.

The main hall, two-thirds of which had collapsed, exploded with a tremendous roar, turning into fragments that flew through the air.

Sensing a familiar aura amidst the dense smoke and dust, Kaido saw the figure of a young woman emerging from the shadow of the open hole.

Then he descended directly and walked towards her side.

Theoretically, Luo Hao was also his "eldest sister." If he didn't go to see her, Luo Hao would probably scold him endlessly.

"Sister Luo is very powerful, for having come out in such a short time."

Kaido, who was smiling and joking, saw something surprising.

The smoke and dust from the cave quickly dispersed, revealing not the distant and cold black-haired "eldest sister," but a completely naked beautiful girl who met Kaido's eyes.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Kaido reacted immediately, instinctively coughing to hide his embarrassment.

He was almost used to seeing female bodies. Every night, before arriving at Nikko Mountain, Kaido almost always fully enjoyed the young bodies of Erica and Liliana.

However, Erica and the others were his knights, and it was natural for knights to serve their king due to their status.

But the woman standing before him at that moment was neither his knight nor an ordinary woman, but the fiercest demon in the world, a ruthless character who would inflict the *Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty* on anyone she disliked: *Luo Cuilian*, the leader of the *Holy Cult of the Five Mountains*.

But it must be admitted that, with just that fleeting glance, Luo Hao's body was not as thin as rumored. She was the type who looked thin in clothes but had curves when undressed.

"Is it my sworn brother? Only my dear brother would come to see me immediately after breaking the spell."

A voice as beautiful and melodious as a zither was heard, and Luo Hao used her **magical power** to dissipate the smoke, looking at Kaido beside her with a satisfied gaze.

"Cough, cough... Recently, the **Great Sage Equal to Heaven** summoned his helper, Sha Heshang. They worked together to cut the last layer of the seal of Nikko Toshogu Shrine. They should be coming this way, preparing to face us."

Seeing Luo Hao speak to him so frankly, Kaido didn't know where to look. He could only try to appear focused and explain the situation.

It wasn't that he had no ulterior motives towards Luo Hao. On the contrary, as a man, he longed to conquer such an arrogant woman to satisfy his vanity.

However, the desire for conquest and integrity were not mutually exclusive. Although Kaido approached Luo Hao in his own way, he also had a limit as a person.

If a beautiful naked girl stood before him and he just stared like a pervert, that wouldn't be called brave or generous, but rather a shameless idiot.

It was just that Luo Hao's figure was much better than he had imagined. As expected of a woman who had cultivated martial arts to the fullest, her figure was absolutely superb!

"What's wrong, little brother? Why don't you dare to look at me? Is there anything more important than your sister over there?"

Kaido's guilty gaze, where he wanted to look but forced himself not to out of chivalrous principles, was fully noticed by Luo Hao.

She followed his gaze, but there was only a pile of very common stones.

She felt confused and somewhat resentful. She believed that, besides her unparalleled martial arts, her appearance and temperament were also unsurpassed.

Kaido's small action was interpreted by her as "I can't bear to look" and she thought he was disgusted with her disheveled state.

Furthermore, Luo Hao wasn't someone who liked to keep her thoughts to herself, so she directly asked Kaido.

"Before I get angry with my dear brother, could you please get dressed, sister? I'm a man too, and it's quite difficult for me to talk to you so naturally."
