"Challenger, I've been quiet for a long time. I never thought that a challenger would finally arrive today. Let me, Old Sun, have a good time then."

Saying this, Monkey grabbed the stick and jumped down, landing on the ground like a cannonball. The entire hall trembled for a moment, and cracks spread out from the bottom of Monkey's feet like a spider web. Slowly, Monkey stood up, wearing armor, as if he really was a Battle Buddha.

"You really are Sun Wukong?" Lu Ming asked curiously.

"I am, but neither am I." Monkey answered.

"What does that mean?" Lu Ming could not help but be a little confused.

"I'm only a Li avatar who defeated Buddha. Cut the crap, watch my move."

As expected, the monkey was impatient, before he could even finish, it picked up the staff in its hand and smashed towards Lu Ming.

When Lu Ming saw it, he turned pale with fright. He originally wanted to give it a try, but seeing the rod as thick as Mt. Tai in front of him, he did not dare stop it, and immediately dodged to the side. This rod ruthlessly smashed into the ground, causing a huge Sky Pit to appear.

A loud noise exploded inside the hall, it was as loud as a copper bell, causing Lu Ming to feel pain in his ears. The hairs on Lu Ming's body stood up, and he could not help but turn pale with fright. This monkey's strength was actually so terrifying, how could he be his match?

He could guess that this smelting trial was a challenge, but it was nothing more than a battle between the guardians. If he fought from beginning to end, then that would mean that he had succeeded in the end. But now it seemed that he couldn't even defeat the first person.

Lu Ming tried to dodge, but the palace was so large, so it would be difficult for him to dodge.

"Not bad, you're pretty fast. Take my next move."

As he said that, the monkey grabbed his body, and a handful of monkey hair appeared. He then blew, and countless monkeys appeared out of nowhere, each holding onto a Ruyi Jingu Bang, and immediately rushed towards Lu Ming while squeaking.

"Damn, this is even f * cking okay?!"

When Lu Ming saw this, he could not help but curse in his heart. Damn it, I can't even beat one of them!

had no way of dodging it, his heart moved, and a sword appeared out of nowhere. But when Lu Ming looked, he realized that the sword had become much dimmer, and must have experienced something, but Lu Ming did not have the mind to investigate what had happened, and so, he extended his hand and grabbed onto his own lifeless sword.

The lifeless sword was born together with Lu Ming, and they were connected through blood vessels. When he held them in his hands, Lu Ming suddenly felt that his entire being had become different, and his aura had become even more imposing than before. The sword took advantage of the momentum and expanded into a sky-upholding giant sword as Lu Ming fiercely slashed forward, causing countless monkeys to shatter and disappear like foam, turning into monkey hairs one after another. Seeing this, Lu Ming could not help but feel his confidence increase, these monkeys seemed to be powerful, but in reality, all of them were just bluffing.

Lu Ming immediately took out his treasure sword and swept it across once again. Amidst these few sword blossoms, countless of monkeys could be seen, while the real owner was holding onto a pole, floating in the air, coldly looking at everything inside, he could not help but laugh and say, "Your strength is not bad, and is worth Old Sun's help."

"You're not bluffing, are you? Monkeys like you are too weak to fight."

Just as he finished speaking, the Fighting Buddha disappeared, and in the next moment it appeared in front of Lu Ming, it fiercely smashed down onto Lu Ming's head. Lu Ming only had time to do so, staring at his own terrified eyes, and watched as the Jingu Bang was getting closer and closer to his head.

But in the next second, Lu Ming did not feel the shock from the outside world, but rather, felt something drilling into his brain, like a loach. Before Lu Ming could even react, he felt an indescribable pain.

The more it was like this, the more intense the pain became. Lu Ming wanted him to faint, but no matter what, he couldn't get through it, and he felt like his own soul was being grinded in a millstone. This kind of pain was not only physical, but was also on the soul level.

didn't believe that such a thing existed in the past, but now, this sort of pain forced him to believe that it was real. It was so real that he couldn't accept it at all.

The stone monument outside flashed with waves of light. The entire huge space seemed to have changed a bit as the spirit energy from Tianjin concentrated crazily into the stone monument.

"Milord, in these endless years, this formation is absorbing this spiritual energy. It can't hold on for too long. Are you sure it's worth it?" The old man looked down at the A qilin beast and asked respectfully.

Most importantly, it could store the energy of the outside world. Although the weather had changed greatly, and the amount of spiritual energy contained in the formation was pitifully small, the amount of spiritual energy it could absorb was still too much, so the amount of spiritual energy it could absorb every day was still a considerable amount. Furthermore, it could store the energy of the outside world, and the amount of spiritual energy it could store was enough for him to sustain himself for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years.

However, the A qilin beast could control the array to a certain extent, so it could use the spirit energy from the array to control the small stone tablet.

The A qilin beast silently looked at the small stone tablet, and then said in a silent voice, "Countless years ago, the Qilin Family sent a trial once, and every young man had to undergo this kind of trial. No one would have thought, that after experiencing countless years of trials, there would only be this small stone tablet left, and the power inside had greatly decreased.

"Lord, do you believe in him that much? Are you sure he'll succeed?"

"I'm not sure either, but I don't know why, but the first time I saw him, I was filled with confidence. I always had a feeling that he would definitely succeed. I hope that's the case."

As for Lu Ming, it had already been two days and the pain was still there. The pain was so excruciating that Lu Ming had already become somewhat numb.

The first thing he wanted to find was the source of the pain, but he didn't know where it was. What had caused him to feel such pain?
