Dragon-Marked War God

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque was extremely excited. He had been sealed here for hundreds of millions of years. Ever since he had been caught by the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha, he had never again seen the passing of years in the outside world. He was one of the Four Dimitrios Monkeys, the most powerful beings between heaven and earth, beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements. Because the Buddha had considered him unique in the world, he had not suppressed him for all eternity. Instead, he had let him stay at the bottom of this ancient well to repent of his past and enter the gates of the Buddha.

But the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was sinister and cunning by nature. How could he be willing to stay at the bottom of this ancient well chanting sutras every day? Ever since he had been put here, he had only one thought, and that was that one day he would be able to escape, burst out of the ancient well, leave the Buddhist Realm and laugh proudly at the whole world.

Whatever damned Buddhist precepts and rules, whatever ridiculous vegetarian fasting and chanting, he could never follow any of it. So trying to make him enter the gates of the Buddha was impossible. For hundreds of millions of years, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque had only one belief, and that was to escape from here.

But these iron chains had been sealed by the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha, and there was no way to break them. No matter how great his strength, enough to move heaven and earth, he could not tear these iron chains apart. For hundreds of millions of years without end, he had never succeeded.

But at this moment, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s eyes were full of light. The sword rain in this sword formation was actually able to cut his iron chains. It was simply astonishing, and he was overjoyed. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque had never imagined that this kid at the Late Hierarch Realm could have such might. This was too unbelievable.

Although the Scarlet-Ass Macaque could not believe it, the facts told him that his chance had come. Bursting out of the ancient well was no longer impossible.

Even Jiang Chen had not expected that his Ashura Sword Formation would end up doing the Scarlet-Ass Macaque such a favor. The Heavenly Dragon Sword was simply too strong. Even the iron chains left behind by the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha back then had been severed by the Heavenly Dragon Sword. Jiang Chen controlled the Ashura Sword Formation in his hands, and in that moment, the chains on all four of the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s limbs had been completely cut by the sword rain of the Heavenly Dragon Sword.

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s whole body shook. His hundred-zhang body made the depths of the water quake as if the earth and mountains were shaking. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque threw punch after punch, trying to break out of the formation, but the Ashura Sword Formation was still quite powerful. Even for the Scarlet-Ass Macaque, escaping it was not that easy.

But the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s strength was still beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations, because the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was already blocking Jiang Chen’s endless sword rain with his fists, and a crack had even appeared in the Ashura Sword Formation. On top of that, it was becoming extremely difficult for him to keep control of the Ashura Sword Formation. Right now, Jiang Chen could hold it for at most the time it took an incense stick to burn. But under the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s attacks, the pressure of the Ashura Sword Formation was getting weaker and weaker.

Jiang Chen’s expression changed. Not daring to be careless, he quickly used the Dou Formation Technique. Under the Three-Star Dou Formation Technique, the Ashura Sword Formation calmed down again. But the Scarlet-Ass Macaque did not let up in the least and kept smashing at the Ashura Sword Formation punch after punch. Right now he had no interest in causing trouble for Wuyin the Enlightened and the others. He only wanted to get out as soon as possible and take a look at the world outside. Sealed at the bottom of the ancient well for hundreds of millions of years, his body felt as though it was about to rust.

“Break!”

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s power kept rising. This time, it was no longer floating and unstable. It had completely stabilized at the Early Divine Emperor Realm.

“No one can stop me!”

The moment the Scarlet-Ass Macaque threw his fourth punch, Jiang Chen finally could no longer hold up the Ashura Sword Formation. The divine origin strength in his body had been almost completely drained. In that moment, he knew he could not hold on any longer. The Ashura Sword Formation was broken outright. Jiang Chen did not dare to be careless and rushed out of the ancient well at once. His injuries were now extremely serious, and the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was very likely to come straight after him.

The most excited of all were Wuyin the Enlightened and the others. They had thought this was a situation of certain death, but they had not expected the Scarlet-Ass Macaque to break through Jiang Chen’s Ashura Sword Formation.

“This guy has let this great demon loose. It seems the world is destined to fall into chaos.”

Wu De the Enlightened muttered. Although the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was now only at the Early Divine Emperor Realm, that was only because he had been sealed at the bottom of the ancient well for all these years. Once his strength recovered, it would not take long before he stood at the peak where he had once been. By then, a truly peerless great demon would descend upon the world.

By setting the Scarlet-Ass Macaque free without meaning to, Jiang Chen might very well have brought about an unparalleled tragedy for the world, with all living things plunged into misery.

But at this moment, what Wu De the Enlightened was most worried about was not that. He was worried that this guy would also compete with them for the God Suppressing Monument in the Reincarnated Living Buddha’s hands. He hoped the Scarlet-Ass Macaque did not know about it. Otherwise, a Scarlet-Ass Macaque at the Divine Emperor Realm was simply not something they could contend with. What had happened down in the ancient well had already made that clear.

A Divine Emperor Realm expert and a Half-step Divine Emperor were as different as heaven and earth. There was no comparison at all. Once someone reached the Divine Emperor Realm, they were a super expert of the Divine World. Even in the whole Western-pole Divine Land, or even in the Central Region Divine Land, they would be revered by all.

But at this moment, all they hoped was that the Scarlet-Ass Macaque would not care about their existence.

Jiang Chen had guessed right. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque really did charge straight at him first. His target was locked onto Jiang Chen. Everyone let out a long breath of relief. At least now they had escaped from a situation of life and death, and Jiang Chen had been targeted by the Scarlet-Ass Macaque. The outcome would definitely be death.

“Now we don’t even need to lift a finger against this guy. Heh heh heh.”

Shenyin the Enlightened said with a cold smile. Jiang Chen was being hunted to the death by the Scarlet-Ass Macaque. He was certain to die. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque was a Divine Emperor Realm expert. Even if he was extremely weak right now after being suppressed for hundreds of millions of years, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. No one could underestimate that.

“It’s still too early to celebrate. This guy has escaped from desperate situations of life and death several times. Back then, we also thought he would definitely be turned to ashes, but he still escaped from that ancient hall. None of us expected that.”

Wei Xiaolong said in a deep voice. In all things, it never hurt to expect the worst. Jiang Chen’s life or death was actually not that important to them. What mattered was that this guy kept getting in their way every time. Just as they were about to get the Reincarnated Living Buddha, he would appear out of nowhere. That was what was most infuriating. Moreover, two of the divine monks of Tianluo Temple had died at his hands, and even Gao De the Enlightened of Vajra Temple had not escaped his vicious hands.

“Amitabha. The most important thing now is still to find the Reincarnated Living Buddha as soon as possible. That guy seems to have gotten the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring. Once he recovers, he will definitely become another troublesome opponent.”

Wuyin the Enlightened said in a low voice.

“Jiang Chen, I hope you die peacefully at the hands of the Scarlet-Ass Macaque!”

Wu De the Enlightened’s face was gloomy as he muttered.

Everyone quickly left the ancient well and set out once more on their quest to find the Reincarnated Living Buddha!
