The old man looked at Sun Wukong. His gaze was emotionless and emotionless.
"Undead."
Monkey King gripped the Golden Cudgel tightly. "No, you are different from them."
The old man was wearing a chain around his feet. He was an undead, but he didn't have the same deathly aura as the undead.
Monkey King couldn't feel any aura from him.
"Who are you?"
Monkey King asked.
The old man didn't reply. He looked at the black gas in the sky.
"Such filth should be cleansed."
He stretched out his hand.
His palm was empty. There was nothing there at all.
However, Monkey King realized that the world had become deathly silent.
The burning of the black gas and the twisting of the space suddenly stopped.
Everything in the space was frozen.
"What kind of spell is this?"
Monkey King was shocked. He didn't feel any ripples from the spell. He didn't know what the old man was trying to do!
In the next moment, before Goku could react, the black gas that filled the sky seemed to have been grabbed and plunged into the old man's palm.
At the same time, a huge force came from behind Monkey King and pushed him towards the old man's palm.
Monkey King hurriedly threw the Golden Cudgel forward.
The sky above his head was getting closer and closer. His body was getting bigger and bigger.
However, Monkey King knew that this wasn't his problem.
"Golden Cudgel!"
Monkey King grabbed the Golden Cudgel tightly. The Golden Cudgel grew according to his will. In the blink of an eye, it was tens of thousands of meters long. It pierced through the shrinking world.
That's right, the world was shrinking.
The sky and the earth were filled with endless black gas. It was a few miles long and it started to shrink towards the old man's hand.
Soon, it was the size of a palm. It hid in the old man's palm and turned into a glass ball that was emitting black gas.
Such a vast world was actually turned into a glass ball.
Monkey King was shocked.
The old man looked at the glass ball in his hand. He squeezed it and realized that he couldn't squeeze it.
"It still has an obsession."
The old man looked at the Monkey King. There was a black gas connected to the Monkey King in the glass orb.
"Monkey King."
The old man called out Monkey King's name and asked, "Do you want this power?"
The Monkey King's hair stood on end.
Who was he?
What does he want to do?
The old man strode towards the Monkey King. With just one step, he appeared in front of the Monkey King.
"So fast!"
The Monkey King was shocked. He swung his Jingu Bang forward with enough force to crush the heavens and earth!
However, the old man pulled with his right hand, causing space to collapse and he entered the void.
The Monkey King's staff passed through his body without causing any damage.
"There's something strange about this person!"
The Monkey King wanted to retreat, but he was too slow.
The old man raised his left hand and placed the glass orb into Monkey King's body.
"I'll return the thing you lured out to you."
After saying that, the old man reappeared thousands of miles away.
He looked at the Monkey King. The black gas was like a storm that engulfed the Monkey King's body, dying him black.
The immense curse and pain were stirring within the Monkey King's body, causing his body to break apart rapidly. White bones could be seen.
I can't take it anymore.
The old man thought to himself. Right now, all the filth was on the Monkey King's body alone.
That body couldn't withstand the Karmic power.
If this continued, he would only be reduced to ashes.
The old man waved his hand, and a pitch-black coffin appeared in mid-air.
Boom —
The coffin in front of him suddenly broke apart, and the fragments of the coffin flew past the back of his hand.
The old man looked over and saw a long and thin black metal rod stopped where the coffin was. It was as if it had never moved before.
"Not dead yet?"
He raised his head and saw the Monkey King.
The Monkey King suddenly opened his eyes in the black flames.
There were no longer any flames in his pupils. The endless darkness had devoured his golden eyes.
"Who are you?"
The Monkey King asked. His body was broken as if he had been whipped by countless whips. Countless wounds were bleeding.
The blood wouldn't dry up. It flowed out from the wounds, through the broken body, and turned into black gas.
"You're using the Karmic power for yourself?"
The old man saw through the Monkey King's current situation: "You can actually stay conscious. Impressive."
"Who are you?"
The Monkey King asked again: "What's your relationship with the Venerable One?"
He raised the metal rod in his hand. Blood flowed along the rod's body and dripped down.
Nine divine halos appeared behind his back. It was the power of nine. The power that originally didn't belong to the Monkey King was now blooming in a pitch-black form behind his back.
Clang —
A blood-colored chain appeared under the Monkey King's feet.
The chain was tied to his feet. The two were inseparable, as if they were one.
It was a curse.
The old man's expression didn't change at all.
"I'm an undead."
The old man answered: "An undead loyal to the Venerable One."
He wasn't the same as the undead.
He knew everything, and he saw through everything.
He didn't live in the past, and he didn't care about Hongmeng at all.
He was the Venerable One's left hand, the Venerable One's guardian.
"I'll clear the path for the Venerable One."
The old man said: "The Venerable One is coming this way, I won't let you dirty his hands."
Killing intent appeared in his heart.
Before the Venerable One arrives, the Monkey King must die here.
