Chapter 600: Chapter 600: The Soul of Hou Yi (3rd Update!)

Day turned into night, and night into day again. Sun Wukong and Jiang Liu’er had spent a total of ten whole days within the divine demon graveyard!

In the span of ten days, Sun Wukong could no longer recall exactly how many ancient spirits had entered the cycles of reincarnation, but he had accumulated a vast amount of merit and destiny. If it wasn’t for his desire to congeal more of the Great Dao to broaden his future prospects, he could have utilized this merit and destiny to unite the Three Corpses with the Dao and prove the Tao to become a saint, reaching the realm of the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor!

Jiang Liu’er also became numb. At first, he had been afraid of the malicious spirits that emerged at night, but after seeing so many, he lost his sensitivity to them, mechanically activating the Immeasurable Merit Determination, drawing the spirits to him, and then watching them be pulled into the Six Paths of Reincarnation by the power of reincarnation that surged from within.

In these ten days, the pair had nearly traversed the entire Divine Demon Battlefield without finding a trace of Hou Yi’s scattered soul—not even the slightest sign. Doubts began to arise in Sun Wukong’s mind. Could it be that Puti Patriarch and Demon Master Kunpeng were mistaken, that the Great Witch Hou Yi’s soul was not in the divine demon graveyard, or had it already perished?

“Eh, what is this place…”

Just as Sun Wukong was puzzled about the existence of Hou Yi’s soul, they passed a small hill, and suddenly a vast canyon appeared in front of them, with towering cliffs that reached the clouds on both sides and only a narrow path that led into it. Moreover, strong scorching auras and sharp energies emanated from within the canyon.

Sun Wukong’s eyes narrowed slightly. His Void-Breaking Starry Eyes activated, emitting golden light that shot towards the canyon. The scenery here was different from other parts of the divine demon graveyard—there had to be a reason. Perhaps Hou Yi’s soul was scattered within this very canyon.

“Jiang Liu’er, let’s go in and take a look!”

Sun Wukong’s Void-Breaking Starry Eyes detected strong energy fluctuations within the canyon. This was the divine demon graveyard; aside from them, there should be no other living beings. Therefore, these strong energy fluctuations could only be from powerful souls.

The Witch Race was born with sturdy physical bodies and equally strong souls, but they struggled to integrate soul and flesh, which is why no one had ascended to the realm of the Heavenly Dao Saint. Nevertheless, Sun Wukong was keenly aware of the strength of the Witch Race’s souls. After Houtu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the remaining wisp of her soul became Meng Po, who stood by the Netherworld’s Naihe Bridge for aeons, indomitable, bequeathing the Ancestral Witch’s Essence Blood to him. Although Hou Yi had not reached the Great Witch realm, he was the closest to the Ancestral Witches in ancient times, or else he could not have shot down nine suns consecutively.

Such an extraordinary warrior, even if besieged and killed, should still retain the bravery of his lifetime. It was possible that his soul was in this canyon!

“Uh, Great Saint, it’s about to get dark. Wouldn’t it be better if we waited until daylight to go in?”

Jiang Liu’er glanced at the sky: daytime was almost over, and nightfall was approaching. He thought it immensely unwise to enter the canyon at such a time. They were now acquainted with the resentful spirits outside; they could be transformed and guided into the cycle of reincarnation with the evolution of the reincarnation pathway. However, they did not know what lay inside the canyon. If there was a greater danger lurking, it could be disastrous!

For safety’s sake, Jiang Liu’er felt it was better to enter during daylight.

“Well…”

Sun Wukong furrowed his brows and stroked his chin in thought before nodding in agreement, “Alright, entering during daylight is indeed more appropriate. We’ll wait for the night as you suggest!”

That night, Jiang Liu’er continued to use the Immeasurable Merit Determination to operate the Merit Golden Body and attract resentful spirits. Then, Wukong would send them into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms for reincarnation.

Just like that, a night passed.

As dawn broke, the eerie and horrifying sights disappeared into the ground, and the earth of the Divine Demon Battlefield returned to clarity. Wukong stood up, called out to Jiang Liu’er, and walked towards the canyon.

Along the way, it was just like any other canyon in the outside world, with nothing unusual. Wukong was even prepared to respond to any incoming attacks at any moment, carefully protecting Jiang Liu’er. Surprisingly, nothing happened, and they entered the canyon with ease.

Just as they entered the canyon, a terrifying wave of heat rushed towards them, as if it would roast them into charred remains.

Wukong was startled and quickly activated the Eight-Nine Profound Skill. Chaos Primordial Force spread throughout his body, and Chaos Fire emanated from his surface. He pulled Jiang Liu’er close, enveloping both of them in the Chaos Fire, before looking up towards the direction from which the heatwave had come.

Before them was a vast valley, and in the sky above it, nine huge fireballs were burning fiercely. With Wukong’s vision, he could clearly see each fireball contained a golden bird wrapped in raging flames—it was the Golden Crow!

Nine Golden Crows!

On the ground, a man with his upper body naked held an unusually shaped and domineering longbow, standing tall. His gaze was firmly locked on the nine Golden Crows in the sky, and the bow in his hands emitted a ring of light that shielded them from the terrifying waves of fire released by the crows.

What was astonishing was that, despite the terrifying power of the fire released by the nine Golden Crows, as if it could burn everything to ashes, the flora and fauna inside the valley remained unaffected, as if the fire waves were just illusory shadows.

“The Sun-shooting Bow! That guy must be Hou Yi!”

A flash of golden light in Wukong’s eyes, and his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes swept across the nine Golden Crows in the sky and the man with the Sun-shooting Bow on the ground. He realized that none of them were physical entities; they were formed from the power of souls, and the Golden Crows’ souls were filled with intense grudges that even infused the fire waves and their immense heat with hatred.

Wukong recognized at a glance that these were the souls of the nine Great Golden Crows and the Great Witch Hou Yi!

It seemed that Hou Yi’s act of continuously shooting down the suns had left the nine Golden Crows with a deep-seated resentment. This is why, within this valley, they were incessantly entangled with Hou Yi’s soul, reenacting the same scene every day, without a single day passing without them wanting to tear Hou Yi to pieces and utterly destroy him.

However, just like Hou Yi, they were only souls now, with limited strength. Even if they opposed each other daily, it was nothing more than a repetition of the battle from the past.

The soul of Hou Yi holding the Sun-shooting Bow was not afraid of the nine Golden Crow souls at all. He drew the bowstring of the Sun-shooting Bow and aimed at one of the Golden Crows.
