"I didn't expect three days to pass so quickly!"
Chen Nan slowly opened his eyes and then got up to walk onto the open ground outside.
At this moment, the monkey king was squatting on a rock, eating wild fruits brought by his tribesmen. Seeing Chen Nan appear, it showed a look of disdain. "If you leave now, you can avoid a fight."
"Or avoid dying at the hands of this Great King."
"Are you confident? If not, we'll retreat!" Quinn asked in a low voice with concern.
Chen Nan waved his hand. "It's not a big problem."
If this were just an ordinary monkey, it would be one thing.
Leaving wouldn't be a big deal.
But the problem was.
This monkey was not ordinary.
It was the only witness to Rulai's pronouncements.
And.
It was also one of the strongest combat forces in the Three Realms.
Because Di Ting had once told Chen Nan.
If Sun Wukong had not died on the pilgrimage.
After his merits were complete.
He would be sealed as the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
And the Six-Eared Macaque would be sealed as the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
Although there was only a one-character difference between Victorious Fighting Buddha and Victorious Fighting Buddha.
They were worlds apart.
To put it bluntly.
If that day truly came.
Across the entire Three Realms.
Only a handful of people could contend with Brother Monkey.
Therefore.
He had to take this monkey across the Nine Heavens.
He had to restore its memories of its past life.
"You are a guest, you make the first move!" The monkey king gulped down a peach, chewing it with a crunch.
"Forgive me!"
Chen Nan's eyes narrowed, and divine power surged out of him, unleashing a terrifying aura.
He instantly appeared before the monkey king.
Pale golden divine power enveloped him, making him appear divine and extraordinary.
He was proficient in many magical arts and divine abilities.
But he did not use them.
Instead, he adopted a simple and brutal close-quarters combat style.
The reason was simple.
He wanted to defeat the monkey king with this simple and brutal method.
Because the physical body had always been the pride of the demon race.
Boom!
He threw a punch.
The air was instantly torn apart, emitting a thunderous whistling sound.
Even the mist in the air seemed to distort.
A hint of surprise flashed in the monkey king's eyes.
It didn't expect Chen Nan to be so strong.
Without any further thought.
It spat out the peach pit in its mouth.
Whoosh!
The peach pit accurately collided with Chen Nan's fist.
In an instant.
A violent surge of energy swept out in all directions.
Many macaques shivered in fear and quickly sought cover behind.
Their eyes showed fear.
"Brother Monkey's strength is truly immense, but this is more interesting!" Chen Nan flexed his numb arm and charged at the monkey king again.
He unleashed both fists.
The void distorted.
The monkey king also met the attack with a grin.
No fancy moves.
No dazzling magical abilities.
There was only the simplest bare-knuckle combat between man and monkey.
As they exchanged blows, the world erupted with drum-like impacts.
At the same time.
Both of them were covered in each other's blood.
Looking ferocious.
After a long time.
The two separated.
Panting and trembling, they looked at each other.
"Actually, you can defeat me, right?" The monkey king's eyes were bloodshot, and its face was contorted in a sneer.
Although it was a monkey.
It knew that Chen Nan had not used any magical arts or divine abilities.
Chen Nan gasped for breath. "That wouldn't be fair to you!"
"Fair?" The monkey king laughed in exasperation. "Is there fairness in the world?"
Chen Nan: "Perhaps not, but we can use our fists to bring fairness to this world!"
The monkey king shook its head, its eyes filled with bitterness. "I once had a dream."
"In the dream, I also naively believed."
"As long as our strength is great enough."
"Fairness will be bestowed upon the world."
"But the reality proved that some people do not want this world to have fairness."
Obviously.
The monkey king had awakened some memories of its past life.
It just treated them as a dream.
Chen Nan calmly asked, "Have you ever thought that the reason you couldn't turn your dream into reality was ultimately because you weren't strong enough?"
"Have you ever thought."
"That you were too naive and believed the words of villains?"
"So, you know who I am, don't you?" The monkey king's eyes were filled with pain, and a terrifying killing intent erupted from its body, dispelling the mist in the air.
Chen Nan: "Perhaps, we can talk in private."
"Follow me!" The monkey king suppressed its killing intent and turned to walk into the mountains.
Its steps were heavy.
Blood seeped from its wounds with every step.
Of course.
Chen Nan was not in much better condition.
Fortunately, he had cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
And possessed the Ancient Saint Body in the immortal realm.
Otherwise, he would have been killed by the monkey king's physical attacks earlier.
A moment later.
Chen Nan followed the monkey king into a spacious cave.
There were rockeries and flowing water in the cave.
Many divine stones emitting a milky white glow were embedded in the ceiling of the cave.
"Who am I?" the monkey king asked Chen Nan with pain.
It didn't know who it was.
Because it had repeatedly had that dream since it was young.
So much so that it couldn't distinguish between dream and reality.
Chen Nan asked, "Who do you feel you are?"
The monkey king shook its head. "I am just a spirit monkey, I don't even have a name."
"However..."
"In dreams, someone called me Brother Monkey."
"And a bald donkey called me a wicked disciple."
"Some people also called me the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."
"Oh, the bald donkey I'm talking about is a monk with no hair on his head, not a donkey with no hair as Old Bai mentioned."
"I think he called me Master."
"But I don't like him very much."
"He didn't teach me anything in the dream, and instead tormented me often."
"He was very verbose, extremely verbose."
"So much so that I had the thought of killing him with a single blow in my dream."
"Of course."
"This thought appeared more than once."
"You continue!" A faint smile appeared on Chen Nan's face. He hadn't expected the monkey king to have awakened so many memories of its past life.
The monkey king sighed. "Sometimes I can't help but wonder, why does the same dream appear in my sleep countless times? And why can they be connected?"
"Was it really a dream?"
Chen Nan asked cautiously, "Have you ever thought that it might be memories of your past life?"
A simple sentence.
Made the monkey king feel as if it had been struck by lightning.
"You have never interacted with humans, yet why do you hate humans so much?"
"Ultimately, it's because you were deceived by Rulai."
"Enough!"
"Enough!"
The monkey king roared hysterically.
The violent killing intent surged like a monstrous wave, giving Chen Nan a suffocating feeling.
"Get out, now, immediately!" The monkey king's temper was violent, and it couldn't accept that the events in its dream were its past life.
Chen Nan remained silent.
He knew.
It would take time for the monkey king to accept this matter.
At this moment.
A powerful aura descended upon the world.
Roars of alien demons came from all directions.
"Whether you choose to accept it or not, some things cannot be denied." After a pause, Chen Nan continued, "I don't believe that a temporary pragmatism can negate a person's achievements."
"The alien demons are attacking, lend me a few divine stones!" Saying this, his soul power surged out, prying off a few divine stones, and he flew out of the cave at the fastest speed.
This time.
He would use his most proficient formations to engage the alien demons head-on!
