Allen asked and looked at Sun Wukong as if he never cared about his stomach being pierced through. His eyes cold but his voice still remained full of confidence.
He knew he had a battle had to be fought. Even if he could avoid it now, he couldn’t avoid it forever.
Moreover, Allen wasn’t a coward.
Even if the distance between him and Sun Wukong was heaven and earth in terms of power but facing such a monster, he wasn’t scared even a bit.
He is a veteran with almost a decade of shocking experiences.
His opponents included fearsome Monsters, demons, mythical beasts and behemoths that could easily destroy a city...
He had fought and prevailed over all these formidable foes in his previous life.
Having gone through so many struggles to the death, how could he cower now?
He can retreat and escape but he wasn’t a coward!
If he knows that he can’t escape then he would fight until the end!
This is one of those moments!
Because, even if Allen could transform into lightning and move at the speed of lightning but from what he had heard, Sun Wukong’s speed is also not inferior.
She is able to travel more than half way around the world with just one somersault!
He wasn’t called a deity for a show!
But Allen managed to remain calm.
A heavy atmosphere permeated the air.
Sun Wukong didn’t mind Allen’s cold voice and still continued smiling. She then sat cross-legged on her golden cloud.
“It's important to not be fettered by trivial matters of address, Human King. You can just call me Old Sun, and to answer your question, I didn’t come here for such a boring matter.”
“… …” Naturally, Allen would never believe her! He kept his vigilance to its maximum as he observed Sun Wukong’s every movement.
“Now there, the Human King sure lacks manners."
Sun Wukong quietly expressed her dissatisfaction.
“It’s extremely rude to stare at a young lady’s body like that.”
Allen frowned. He then slowly took the golden staff out of his body and unexpected as it seems, it was extremely heavy!
Allen doesn’t have any choice but to use all his strength just to pull it out from his stomach.
“Then what are you here for? I bet it’s not to chat and exchange greetings like old friends and talk about life…” Allen gritted his teeth.
“Don’t be so serious and relax will you.” Sun Wukong raised her hand and the golden staff immediately flew out from Allen’s body, landing on her hand. She twirled it as if it was the lightest thing in the world.
This scene caused Allen’s mouth to twitch.
“It’s been a long time since I left the pilgrimage… hunting demons now are just a way to pass my time.” Sun Wukong said. “But don’t worry; you’re not included in my list… at least not now… Buddha has gone for so many years already. Hunting demons now is not a part of my duty.”
“I’m not a demon!” Allen roared. For some reason hearing her calling him a demon annoyed him.
“Oh but you are,” Sun Wukong answered. “Can’t you see your appearance?”
!?”
“But please do be careful. The ‘devil’ that lives inside you… is something that shouldn’t exist.”
“Huh?”
“Lurking inside you is an existence that can be considered a taboo. A being feared even by Gods… that is the kind of demon you have.”
“I’m a human! How can I be a demon!?”
“I don’t know, but from what I can tell it’s just a fragment, though sealed.” Sun Wukong answered with a serious tone.
“If you’re asking why I know, that is because I am the strongest member of the pilgrimage, possessing the huoyan-jinjing ( Golden-gaze fiery-eyes). I can see every evil.”
“… …”
“In any case, you should calm your nerves as I didn’t come here to cause harm but only as a matter of interest. In fact, I just met the Insect Queen along the way and she wanted me to deliver you some things…”
“Alkrasha?” Hearing Alkrasha’s name, Allen’s cautiousness around Sun Wukong slightly eased.
“How can I believe you?”
“Aw, you don’t need to.” Sun Wukong smiled and from her bosom, a familiar golden bug came out and flew towards Allen.
“[ Golden Dragon Bug ]”
It was the familiar monster he had met in Sun Yueli’s city. Seeing this, Allen finally lowered down his vigilance.
The Lightning Qilin and the others were affected by Allen’s calm acceptance of the situation and returned to their senses as well. But they still kept their vigilance to its maximum.
They were sneaked attack just now and it cannot happen again! Even if they die, they need to successfully protect Allen at all cost!
“If Alkrasha sent you, why did you do that?”
“Oh, she didn’t send me, besides no one can order me around. I came on my own accord…” Sun Wukong smiled and the golden staff shrunk into the size of a sewing needle and then she put it behind her ear.
She then rummages through the inside of her clothes.
“As for what I did, I just want to confirm something,”
“Confirm what?”
“That body of yours, invulnerable to any physical attack… that’s not caused by your demon constitution wasn’t it?” Sun Wukong smiled with a strange glint.
“You know, I’m quite interested in strange but interesting things… I always like them…Aha! There it is!”
As Sun Wukong was talking, she finally found what she’s looking for inside her clothes. It was a small red saucer.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Looking at it, Allen’s guard once again skyrocketed. Even the Lightning Qilin, Madam White, and Li Meihua felt their bodies tightened as they immediately surrounded Allen.
It might be looking like a simple saucer but Allen and the others were certain that it wasn’t as simple as it looks!
Sun Wukong stood up while holding the red saucer.
“Oh please, calm your nerves, kin of mine. That’s unbefitting of someone holding the title of a [ King ].”
Standing on the golden cloud, she was coldly overlooking everything across the land.
However, her eyes only saw Allen while completely ignoring all others. Her face wore that usual irritating smile.
“Fear not, my brethren. This is called the Saucer of transportation. A very convenient object from my old friend, Bailong.”
“What are you going to do with that?”
“Isn’t this place not suited for us? Why don’t we change our location since we will have quite a long time to chat regarding various matters,"
"What if I refuse?" Allen asked.
"You can’t or in fact, you won’t, after all, this is about ‘you’ the taboo King which your lover was desperately trying to hide and protect from the other Kings" Sun Wukong smiled confidently.
“You don’t want her sacrifice to be in vain, don’t you?”
A blatant threat but still,
Taboo King… and lover…
Allen wasn’t an idiot or stupid. He could somehow guess as to who she was referring to.
Alkrasha…
After a moderate period of silence.
Allen finally lets out a sigh.
“Fine,”
Sun Wukong smiled as she extended her hand. The red saucer flew out and floated between Allen and Sun Wukong.
The red saucer suddenly grew larger and larger until it turned into a large bowl that could accommodate 10 – 20 people inside of it.
“Get on.” The golden cloud Sun Wukong was riding went towards the center of the huge bowl.
After a moment of reluctance, Allen jumped towards the red bowl along with his three loyal guards.
The moment they went in, the large bowl lit up and disappeared.
Leaving the dumbfounded Xue Ling, Liu Fengxun, President Ji, and the others…
Their mouths were all wide agape, and it was clear that they hadn’t regained their senses yet.
Just what was that all about…?!
…. ….
Days later, Allen’s existence was spread throughout the entire world. With a video containing his show of power was circulated, people especially Chinese had started calling him [ Thunder Emperor: Ye Wushuang ] or the incarnation of Lei Gong, calling him [ Lei Shen ].
The silence of the World shattered from that very video. Some call it fraud and made from CG while some also deemed it real.
However, the fact that all the government and organizations were stirred violently can’t be ignored. They had immediately contacted China for an explanation.
Some people were also alarmed. Especially those who had recognized the youth reflected on the screen. One of these was the Church, who immediately pulled out an untimely meeting relating to the sudden appearance of the rumored [ Black Demon King ]!
They were alarmed by the power showed in the video but most of all, Allen’s appearance stirred their core. Some wanted to use this as an opportunity while some denied such notion.
No matter what they say, Allen’s power and authority wrote in the information they hold was overwhelming and so some wanted to avoid any kind of conflict… one leading this group was unexpectedly the new appointed Archbishop, Sister Tacia Burner. She listened to Marie’s advice.
Besides, with the Church just began its ascension, picking a fight with someone like Allen is certainly a foolish action!
And so, the Church had started its massive debate.
In other parts of the world, some organization was thinking of pulling him over, some alarmed by his appearance and some were starting to amass power by gathering Superhumans…
With Allen standing once again on the world stage, the entire world was stirred. With his show of power, the Superhumans’ status soared once again. Their importance had become something valuable as gold!
Allen's appearance caused tremendous change... more than he expected. He had somehow become the central figure of all Superhumans in the world!
His power had awe many people and the name Ye Wushuang had started to spread around as the [ Thunder Emperor ]!!

Deep inside of an unexplored part of the mountain. In this ancient looking place, there’s actually a sacred onsen!!
The corner of Allen’s eyes twitched violently as he saw the out of this world view in front of him.
Filled with steam and smoke coming from the water, the spectacular scene was enough to entrance anyone into daze.
“Hurry up and enter,” A voice broke him out from daze.
Turning his head back, Allen found a transcendent beauty sitting on the edge of the bathing pool with only on her birth suit.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the steam was blocking the view – though from Allen’s enhanced vision this should not be possible.
A mere smoke can’t block his vision besides, who didn’t know about the legend of Sun Wukong’s fiery eyes, golden gaze weakness?
Smoke!
This place shouldn’t be that simple!
“What’s with this place?”
“As expected, you saw through it~” Sun Wukong’s voice rang out. “This is a special place I made, this is not real smoke but illusions made by Heaven concealing array.”
“Heaven Concealing Array?”
“Un, a magical array that separated this place to the outside world with a barrier. In here, even if you spend a month, it would only pass a day outside this place.”
“Of course, that’s not the only one. No matter how other people look for you, even those Old fogies from the Kings' court, they wouldn’t be able to find you no matter what they do. This place is a secret, even the heavens couldn’t peak!”
“This is quite an amazing place!” Allen exclaimed.
“Indeed.”
“Is that also the reason why I can’t see your body clearly, even if you’re right in front of me?” Allen narrowed his eyes.
Even though his tone was joking but his eyes still held some confusion on it.
Just what is Sun Wukong planning?
“Hahaha, well, if you did saw my body, I would be killing you in the spot so please be thankful that you can’t clearly see it!” Sun Wukong laughed like she was enjoying herself while she submerged herself into the water.
“But you don’t need to worry, Even if I did say that this was just an illusion but it was also real at the same time. Look, it feels the same as the real one~”
It feels really hot. Allen extends his hands and reaches out to the steam and felt a bit warm. But even though he had confirmed it, he still didn’t move and looked at Sun Wukong suspiciously.
“What are we doing here, Sun Wukong? Taking a bath together?”
“What are you talking about? This is a good way to have good skinship with a peer, isn’t it?” Sun Wukong said as a matter fact.
“In this way, we can proceed with complete honesty and openness. Just like our naked bodies does~”
“Monkey King, why are you doing this?”
"... Human King, I have no intention of harming you, so you have no need to be wary of me.”
“That’s kinda hard to believe especially if it comes to the person who pierced my stomach just now without any warning.”
“That’s just a simple greeting, no need to be so serious~”
“A greeting?!” Allen gritted his teeth in frustration. “If I was a normal human, I would have gotten killed in that instant!”
“But you’re alive, aren’t you? So it’s all good in the end.”
Allen is amazed at Sun Wukong’s answer.
“That’s unreasonable!”
“Hahaha,” Sun Wukong laughed with glee at Allen’s reaction.
“If you were a normal human that is, but sadly you are not. You are one of the chosen bearing the title of a [ Monster King ]. You are a peer of mine, how can you be a normal human. Something like that won’t do you any harm~”
“… …”
“Thus, spare me with those delusions. You are never a human to begin with, much less a normal human.”
“I am a Human!!”
“Then how did you become a monster king, then?” Sun Wukong’s atmosphere suddenly changed.
The impression given she was emitting suddenly shifted, and acute battle spirit seemed to have made its way into her beautiful visage.
“From what I have known of my long journey in life, there is no antecedent of a normal human becoming a monster king! Then how did you become a monster king? Is that because of the demon living inside of you?”
It’s my class!!
Allen screamed inwardly but he didn’t say it, after all it would be doubtful if she believed it. Besides, Sun Wukong wasn’t his confirmed ally, telling her too much would only be foolish!
“Is that why you called me a taboo king? Because of this demon you’re talking about?” Allen asked crisply.
“Oh no, you misunderstand my words.” Sun Wukong smiled tenderly. “You are the taboo king, not because of the forbidden existence inside of you but your identity as the Thirteenth King!”
!? “My identity? Is it related to the King’s balance…?” A little startled, Allen suddenly realized where she is going.
