Legend of the Mythological Genes

Demonic qi towered up the skies; the roars of demonic beasts rang out unceasingly.

The two armies stood in opposition. Smoke and dust rose in the distance as they clashed repeatedly.

Powerful auras collided in mid-air, causing waves of aftershocks that twisted the air.

The armies killed their way into each other with shocking might. On one side, the monkey tribe wielded cudgels with crushing force. On the other side, the mix of demonic beasts with tigers, pythons, and eagles could be seen in the lead, while the leopards, mountain cats, jackals were following close behind.

In the Flowerfruit Mountain that was as vast as a continent with an abundance of spiritual qi, there were naturally lots of demonic creatures. The first three demonic races were the most powerful ones, namely the tigers, pythons, and eagles.

The tigers were kings of the jungle, the pythons were lords of the water, while the eagles were rulers of the sky… They were proficient in land, sea, and air combat respectively.

With the innate advantages of these three races, the moment an ordinary member of their races became a demon, their strength would far surpass the other demonic races.

The three races were at the core of the demonic alliance. They formed a triangle of authority, governing the Flowerfruit Mountain.

However, the situation changed recently.

The weak and cowardly monkeys actually rose under the leadership of a new monkey king. They became proficient in cudgel arts and understood cultivation. They were growing stronger and stronger, destroying many powerful demonic races, as their power and territories expanded. Very soon, the monkeys grew to an unimaginable extent, powerful enough to threaten the three main demonic races here.

The three demonic races also knew how powerful the monkey tribe was now.

After all, the monkey and ape races were once the hegemon of the Flowerfruit Mountain. It was just that many of their fighters and those with potentials were wiped out in the past war, which led to them declining.

Who could have thought that the monkeys could make a comeback?

This new monkey king was truly outstanding, able to guide the monkey tribe to rise so rapidly.

Although monkeys were innately weak by nature, once they started cultivating, because their bodies resembled xiantian dao bodies, they possessed an unmatchable advantage in terms of cultivation among the demonic races. They could grow stronger much faster.

This aspect was something the tiger, python, and eagle races couldn’t compare to.

Who could have thought that they would actually ignore the conflict and grudges between their races to ally and attack the monkey tribe? It seemed that they would never cease their attacks until the monkey tribe was completely exterminated.

But coincidently, Feng Lin was also thinking of the same thing.

These three demonic races were the last remnants of demonic beasts in the Flowerfruit Mountain. If he could destroy them in one fell swoop, he would be able to conquer and unify the Flowerfruit Mountain.

At that time, his comprehension of the Monkey King’s true essence should also be clearer.

In this one year spent in the illusion-scape, he had meticulously attempted to comprehend the essence of the Monkey King Gene, and he had already understood the crucial point on the pathway between the Monkey King Gene to the Sun Wukong Gene.

This path could be split into two segments. The first segment was to conquer the Flowerfruit Mountain and the second segment was to cross the Eastern Sea to search for the Fangcun Mountain.

When he completed these tasks, that would be the time he awakened the Sun Wukong Gene.

After understanding this crucial point, he naturally had to accomplish the first segment perfectly first.

He stood at the forefront of the monkeys and stared at the three conspicuous figures of the monkey tribe’s enemies standing in opposition.

One was a malevolent-looking black tiger. He had a tiger head and a burly human body, exuding a baleful aura.

Another was a giant python over ten feet in length. Its body had brightly-colored patterns and it was as thick as a water bucket. Its huge maw opened and closed threateningly, wanting to devour the monkeys.

The third figure was a white-headed giant eagle that had a wingspan of over 9.6 meters. Its talons gleamed with a bright light and were as sharp as hooks.

These were none other than the three great demonic kings. Their eyes were all staring at Feng Lin, like they wanted to pierce him through with their gazes alone.

“Monkey King, you are too brazen. How dare you slaughter the demons under us. Do you think that the Flowerfruit Mountain is a place that belongs solely to your monkey tribe?”

“That’s right, you best obediently accept death. The monkey tribe shall become our vassal. Every month, deliver ten little monkey cubs for us to grind our teeth. If not, we shall annihilate the entire monkey tribe!”

“Have you all forgotten about the lesson in the past where the monkeys were slaughtered? You best know what is good for you.”

…

The three demonic kings spoke arrogantly. They were surrounded by scores of their underlings.

The through-armed ape had a look of hatred, pain, and humiliation on its face. “Great King, a hundred years ago, it was none other than the three of them that caused the past war. They slaughtered us almost to the point of extinction. Luckily, the old monkey king managed to save some of us, allowing us to continue with our existence.”

“Don’t worry. Regardless of new hatred or old hatred, everything shall be settled completely in the battle today. I will definitely make them pay for what they owned us.” Feng Lin nodded.

“Haha, you want to take revenge?”

“A mere new monkey king, how high is your cultivation base? Do you dare to fight against the three of us?”

“Courting death. The annihilation for your monkey tribe shall be today!”

…

The three demon kings roared with malevolent laughter, like they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

“Kill!” Feng Lin stared at them emotionlessly as though he was looking at three dead demons. He didn’t waste time.

“Kill!” As the sound of his command rang out, Feng Lin took the lead and killed his way over.

“Elder through-armed, bring the other monkeys to set up formations to combat the other demonic beasts. Leave the three demon kings to me.” He felt no fear at all at the prospect of one fighting against three.

“Great King, you have to be careful!” the through-armed ape reminded in a loud voice.

However, it understood that neither it or any of the monkeys would be able to assist their king. It brandished the cudgel in its hands as it roared, “Monkeys, follow me!”

In order to prevent those demonic beasts from hindering their king, it led over a thousand monkeys to attack the demonic beasts.

“This new monkey king is too arrogant. But this is good as well. As long as we kill it, the monkey tribe would naturally be exterminated easily. From then on, the Flowerfruit Mountain would truly belong to us!” The demon kings from the three demonic races laughed and then surrounded Feng Lin via land, air, and sea.

The tiger king was extremely ferocious. Its claws broke space apart, manifesting a burst of raging wind that was as sharp as swords, capable of tearing apart everything.

The python was like a flood dragon. Its wriggling caused the waves to churned wildly, smashing down on Feng Lin.

The eagle soared into the air, emitting formless sound waves that were akin to invisible blades.

…

These three demon kings all unleashed their innate demon arts, choosing to engage Feng Lin in close combat as they killed their way over.

Feng Lin was instantly surrounded.

Black Tortoise Suppress the Mountains!

Feng Lin’s figure remained unmoving. His hands were suddenly lifted. His body transformed and suddenly became a giant turtle with a snake tail, entrenching himself into the ground and was like a heavy boulder that couldn’t be moved.

His hands that were in the shape of claws extended outwards. Black qi gathered around him, forming a stone shell for his defense.

The various attacks landed on the shell and were all blocked. The stone shell then shattered into specks of dust from the impact.

“What?” The three demon kings exclaimed in shock.

Shriek!

A sharp shriek rang out through the air.

Sparks flashed as a gigantic body shot up the skies with the speed of a shooting star. It was a giant bird whose body was cloaked in flames.

Five Spirits Ominous Fist Art, Vermillion Bird Transformation!

Feng Lin transformed into a vermillion bird. He was like a spirit of fire. With a heavy breath, flames were spewed out, flying toward the three demonic kings, charring their furs and feathers black.

This new monkey king was so powerful!

The three demon kings all sensed something amiss.

The tiger king opened its eyes wide and suddenly drew in a deep breath. A moment later, the air in the surroundings was completely sucked dry as a blank space appeared.

At the next moment, a green-colored air vortex instantly blasted out, transforming into countless wind blades that surrounded Feng Lin.

Dragonsnake Twined Slaughter!

The figure of the giant python expanded in the wind. It caused the waterflow to churn wildly, forming a whirlpool that acted as a water prison, wanting to trap Feng Lin.

Hua hua hua~

A world of ice.

The eagle king soared high into the air, radiating coldness that became frost qi capable of freezing the myriad of creatures and gradually dousing the flames on Feng Lin’s body.

The three demon kings cooperated perfectly, unleashing their killing moves, wanting to finish off Feng Lin in a single stroke.

After all, this vermillion bird was something Feng Lin transformed into. The flames exuded were just mortal fire and not the Brightsouth Li-Fire of the true vermillion bird. There should be no way that their attacks would be stopped. Feng Lin already seemed about to fall into the zone of their attacks

Yet, Feng Lin didn’t panic at all. He smiled lightly.

“Nine Transformations of the Azure Dragon!”

He had roughly understood the concept of divine transformation and could transform into anything his heart desired in just an instant.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Feng Lin transformed once more, becoming a gigantic azure dragon as he soared into the air.

“Azure dragon extends its claws!”

A pair of dragon claws shot out, forming hand gestures.

The towering waves summoned by the python king was instantly blocked. The control over water was seized away.

The tsunami then towered up into the sky.

Feng Lin’s dragon body rose higher and higher within the waves. He wouldn’t allow anyone to escape. This tsunami completely caused all the demonic techniques to fail to hit their target.

BOOM!

The dragon’s tail was over ten meters long, with a single sweep, the waves churned while the three demon kings were smacked and flung through the air.

Upon seeing that their king possessed the advantage despite fighting one versus three, the other monkeys also grew excited and their battle intent surged up.

The cudgel force they generated flowed continuously. They were using the strength of a single tribe to content against the other demon races here, and they were actually at an advantage.

Once those demonic beasts entered the cudgel formations, they would instantly be smashed into meat paste.

“Azure dragon seizes the pearl!”

Feng Lin’s dragon claws shot through the air, aiming for the hearts of the three demon kings, not planning to show mercy at all.

Today, he wanted to sweep through the entire Flowerfruit Mountain!
