Chapter 440: Thunder strikes the gods, the demon monkey seeks death

Wen Rui suddenly realized that the stone tablet with the word "Earth" on it represented the blockade of the earth veins, prohibiting the use of earth escape techniques to escape.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the stone tablet with the word "天" written on it must have been used to create a space barrier to prevent the enemies trapped in the killing array from escaping into the sky.

"Little monkey, you have only lived for a few years. Your grandfather Peng has lived for tens of thousands of years and has eaten more people than you have ever seen!"

Demon King Peng sneered, "If you can escape from my Eight Gates Killing Formation with just a simple earth escape technique, would you dare to use it to imprison an immortal? You have no way to go up to heaven or down to earth, and the only way is death!"

"Ah, this... I spend all day hunting sparrows, and yet I get my eyes pecked out by an eagle! You old bird man are even more despicable than I am!"

The golden monkey scratched its ears and cheeks, just like a monkey locked in a cage, anxious and angry, revealing its ugly appearance.

Wen Rui was actually in a very calm state of mind. All his imitations of the monkey's crazy reactions were performed for the enemy, just to paralyze them.

"Same here!" Demon King Peng was quite pleased with himself. "You are one of the most cunning demon kings of the new generation. It's a pity that a little fox can't beat an old fox. You are tens of thousands of years behind me in cultivation!"

"Don't be so arrogant, old bird man. It doesn't matter if you can trap me for the time being. I'm not that easy to kill!"

Wen Rui pretended to fight like a trapped beast, raised the silver hoop stick like a madman, rushed towards the stone tablet with the word "Earth" engraved on it, and smashed it with the stick.

The impact force of this blow was no less than tens of thousands of tons, but when it hit the stone tablet, it was blocked by a golden force field barrier. The huge force was completely dissipated, and not even a speck of dust was shaken off the stone tablet.

"You ignorant monkey, when I was setting up the formation, didn't you think of strengthening the protection of the center of the formation? My two elder brothers are disciples of Jiejiao who have experienced the Conferred God War. Back then, the Zhuxian Sword Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation neglected the protection of the center of the formation, which is why they were easily broken by the Chenjiao Golden Immortal."

Demon King Peng became more and more proud, and was not in a hurry to attack. He hovered in the air and watched a monkey show leisurely, and laughed: "I have blessed the stone tablet at the center of the formation with the Immovable Vajra Mantra. When the formation is activated, the stone tablet will be as immortal and indestructible as a Vajra Pagoda."

This guy was talking about something that was irrelevant. It suddenly brought back Wen Rui's memories of the past. He had advised him countless times that when setting up a killing formation, the defense of the center of the formation must be strengthened. It would be best if the leader himself could set up a super-strong defense formation that could not be broken by anyone except a saint.

As a result, his words were insignificant and he talked his mouth off. All his fellow disciples of Jie Sect just regarded him as a joke. They said that the Jie Sect's immortals were so powerful that one immortal could drown the Twelve Warriors of Chen Sect with a mouthful of spit, so there was no need to do this.

The result was that the core of the Zhuxian Sword Formation was broken and the sword was taken away, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation shattered at the slightest touch. The long-eared Dingguang immortal who controlled the core of the formation became a traitor, and the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Jiejiao were treated like leeks and were harvested.

As a result, hundreds of years later, the Lingya Immortal and Qiushou Immortal who surrendered to the Western Religion learned from their mistakes and learned how to strengthen the center of the formation, but instead betrayed Wen Rui, a loyal disciple of the Jie Religion.

Unable to smash the stone pillar at the center of the formation, Wen Rui swung his stick and smashed it at the ground. One end of the Ruyi Silver Hoop Stick also turned into the shape of a pickaxe head. He concentrated the huge force at one point, trying to dig out an escape passage by digging through the stubborn rocks on the ground.

As expected, the silver pickaxe head, which was blessed with tremendous force, was bounced off the ground without leaving even the slightest trace on the rock slab.

At the same time, the stone pillar with the word "Earth" emitted strong light again.

This is the magical power of "turning the ground into steel" activated. Demon King Peng, together with the Lingya Fairy and Qiushou Fairy, created the Eight Gates Killing Formation, which is much more sophisticated than the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

"You naughty monkey, have you had enough?" The Demon King Peng said with a smile, "I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise you will suffer when I activate the formation." "Humph, our clan is rebellious by nature. If you have the guts, trap me for five hundred years first, and don't try to scare me with words!"

Wen Rui had a defiant look on his face, his neck stiff and his mouth stubborn, still firmly establishing his character. He had made up his mind that even if he died here today, he would die as the King of Yuxiong.

Demon King Peng's Fang Tianji pointed remotely at the stone pillar with the word "thunder" engraved on it in the formation. The stone pillar emitted a purple light, and the whole formation immediately flashed with lightning. The dense tracks of lightning were like a group of dancing snakes.

The stubborn golden monkey was suddenly surrounded by lightning, with thick smoke coming out of his body. He rolled on the ground, roaring miserably, and it looked like he had been severely electrocuted.

Demon King Peng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "So you, a monkey, are afraid of thunder. Well, well, I finally found your weakness. I'll deal a good job on you now!"

“It hurts so much, such a powerful lightning!” The golden monkey’s tone was filled with fear: “It’s not ordinary lightning transformed by magic power. This… This is the evil-killing heavenly thunder that contains the majestic power of heaven!”

"Do you know how powerful it is? The thunder formation of my Eight Gates Killing Formation is a lightning formation built on the top of the Lion Camel Mountain with extraordinary ingenuity to attract thunder from the sky into the ground, and then conduct it into the formation!"

Demon King Peng was extremely proud, as if he was boasting about his favorite work: "You hit the target of a brilliant thunderbolt. Any monster would not survive long under such thunderbolt. It would be shattered to ashes in a matter of moments."

Heavenly thunder is very effective in restraining monsters. The difficulty for monsters to overcome the tribulation and become immortals is much higher than that for human cultivators.

Especially for the evil demons who are burdened with the karma of killing, it is more accurate to say that they are repeatedly jumping on the edge of death rather than undergoing a tribulation.

The thunder array in the Eight Gates Killing Array was specially set up to trap and kill powerful demons. After all, there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests. As evil demons, harming each other is as common as eating and drinking.

No one knew what secret method Demon King Peng used when he set up the formation, but he actually attracted the genuine demon-killing thunder. In a disguised way, he acted as if he were enforcing justice for the heavens, and electrocuted Wen Rui, who was pretending to be a demon, so much that all his monkey hair was singed.

Seeing the monkeys trapped in the thunder array begin to twitch like crazy, Demon King Peng couldn't help but laugh up to the sky and said proudly: "A mere little demon over a thousand years old dares to call himself a great sage with me. It's really a time when there are no heroes, but monkeys become famous! Now not only are you stiff in words, but your whole body is stiff, right?"

Wen Rui, who was lying on the ground and convulsing, secretly rolled his eyes, but he was actually pretending.

If you use heavenly thunder to strike the immortals, but it can only chop off their very hairs, then you are not practicing immortality.

The immortals in the mortal world may not be immune to thunder magic, but Wen Ruike was named the Emperor Jie Tian, a legitimate god. What's more, he is the leader in charge of heavenly thunder. Heavenly thunder will take a detour when it sees him. Heavenly thunder should be afraid of him.

The reason why he showed off his acting skills here and acted as if he was about to be electrocuted is, firstly, to fit the character of the demon monkey so as not to be seen through his true identity; secondly, it is a delaying tactic. If he shows that he is not afraid of thunder and lightning, then the Demon King Peng will definitely use a different five elements formation to attack. It is better to enjoy the tingling electrotherapy massage and delay time to find loopholes in the formation.

As for the third point, Wen Rui thought about pretending to be dead and trying to trick Demon King Peng into thinking that he was really electrocuted to death by the thunderbolt. He then simply closed the formation and dumped his body, escaping from danger by using the "corpse escape" technique.

Even if the corpse escape fails, he can trick him into getting closer to observe. Wen Rui can also act like a young man without martial ethics and launch a sneak attack on this old man.
