Just a moment ago, they almost lost their composure and were controlled by that invisible killing intent.
"Since you succeeded, why make such a big commotion?" Chu Yang stepped into the air.
Hey! There's a guy who doesn't like me, Old Sun!
Sun Wukong's voice came from the Dragon-Trapping Tower, and everyone around him immediately became excited.
Even though Chu Yang protected the entire War Demon City and was extremely powerful, he could not replace Sun Wukong's position in these people's hearts.
If it weren't for Sun Wukong rescuing them from their dire straits, these people, along with their lower plane, would probably still be enslaved by the extraterrestrial evil race.
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Chu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also felt an invisible pressure.
Not only that, white light wrapped around his arm, and the [Heavenly Palace] suddenly appeared.
This sudden unexpected event stunned Chu Yang, because [Heavenly Palace] manifested on its own initiative, which was unprecedented.
The next moment, the blade of the [Heavenly Sword] began to tremble slightly.
Although this sword has no feelings or intelligence, Chu Yangqu had a vague feeling about it...
It was as if [Tianque] had been provoked in some way, which is why it spontaneously released its power.
Looking up at the sky, Chu Yang's pupils suddenly contracted.
Above the Demon City, space crumbled inch by inch, turning into nothingness.
In that void, a vast and boundless power surged forth, then condensed into a spiritual energy light curtain that resembled hanging clouds or a waterfall, which then cascaded down.
The light screen was hazy and indistinct, and nothing could be seen clearly. However, everyone who saw the light screen subconsciously felt that mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars were engraved on it, and it seemed to contain a world within it.
Their subjective consciousness was influenced by some kind of force!
When the light curtain descended upon the Dragon-Trapping Tower, a terrifying pressure swept out, causing everyone present to tremble.
Their bodies, souls, bloodlines, and even the spiritual energy within them trembled under that oppressive force.
Only Chu Yang remained standing in mid-air, his expression calm, as if he were completely unaffected.
He stared intently at the light screen, three words flashing through his mind...
The Heavenly Rankings!
Or it could be called the will of the world, or... the Way of Heaven!
Strictly speaking, this is the second time that the will of the world has manifested itself in the world in the form of the Celestial Ranking.
In the history of the Great Thousand Worlds, the first person to introduce the Heavenly Ranking was the Immortal Emperor.
At the same time, everyone noticed that the spiritual energy on the light screen suddenly fluctuated and condensed into an inconspicuous small character.
叶！
Compared to the light curtain connecting heaven and earth, the character "叶" (leaf) seemed rather small, but because it was so abrupt, it still attracted everyone's attention.
Ye is the surname of the Immortal Emperor!
Leaving a surname on the Sky Ranking means that the Immortal Emperor once reached the realm of a half-step ruler.
However, the sudden appearance of this Sky Ranking indicates that someone in the Great Thousand World has suddenly appeared who is qualified to inscribe their name on the list.
It's obvious that the Heavenly Ranking is for Sun Wukong.
Although Sun Wukong's strength cannot be measured by realm, Chu Yang is certain that he is far from reaching the level of a half-step ruler, and is even far from the peak of the Saint Rank.
The merging of his three bodies greatly enhanced his strength, but more importantly, it raised his potential.
At present, Sun Wukong is at most equivalent to a Saint-level early stage powerhouse.
The reason why the Heavenly Ranking descended is because Sun Wukong's power was rejected by the Great Thousand Worlds, or rather, it was not recognized by the world's will.
To put it simply, it is a heavenly tribulation!
Moreover, it's a heavenly tribulation that will fight to the death!
"Need any help?" Chu Yang glanced down at [Tianque], then looked at the Dragon Trapping Tower, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes.
He really wanted to try and see if he, in his avatar Haotian as [Tianque], could contend with the world will of the Great Thousand Worlds.
At the same time, he also wanted to use the Sky Ranking to uncover more secrets of the Heavenly Palace.
Of course, the Haotian he envisioned was not the same as the state he was in when he used the [Tianque] Bankai.
In that state, Chu Yang could at most temporarily mobilize some of Haotian's power, making him a "pseudo-Haotian".
He had a vague premonition that if he truly clashed with the world's will of the Great Thousand Worlds, he might be able to unleash more of the [Heavenly Palace]'s primal power, allowing him to approach the level of the "True Haotian" in a short period of time.
The Dragon-Trapping Tower trembled, and then a golden pillar of light shot into the sky. The pillar contained a faint blood aura, which was a killing intent that had solidified into a tangible form!
Sun Wukong emerged from the pillar of light, adorned with a purple-gold crown, golden armor, and cloud-walking boots, wielding a long, golden-red staff. He resembled an ancient god of war, yet also possessed a dignified and solemn appearance, much like a Vajra in Buddhism.
He glanced at the Heavenly Ranking, then grinned at Chu Yang and said, "Since this is my fate, why should someone else suffer it for me?"
"I, Old Sun, also want to see if this Spirit Yang Staff can shatter the Heavenly Ranking?"
Chu Yang remained silent. In short, Sun Wukong's words meant…
"I, Old Sun, will shatter this heaven!"
Very arrogant, but seems a bit too confident...
Chu Yang knew very well that Sun Wukong in his current state was absolutely no match for the will of the world.
In fact, this was a dead end, but in Chu Yang's view, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
After thinking for a moment, he said softly, "Brother Monkey, the way to break this deadlock lies in your original intention of proving your Dao through killing."
Only Sun Wukong understood that his words referred to that lifeless lower plane.
Sun Wukong received his inheritance in that lower plane and vowed to wipe out the evil races from beyond the realm, which is why he resolutely embarked on the path of killing.
The world's will cannot tolerate an anomaly like Sun Wukong, but if this anomaly stands on the side of the Great Thousand Worlds, then that's a different story.
After all, the invasion of the extraterrestrial evil races is not only about seizing territory, but also about eroding the very foundation of the Great Thousand World.
Wherever evil forces pass, both living beings and spiritual energy are corrupted, and even the origin and will of the world in the Great Thousand Worlds are not exempt.
It is precisely because of this that Mu Chen was born hundreds of years later, leading the Great Thousand Worlds to wipe out the evil races from beyond the realm.
Therefore, from this perspective, everyone has a common enemy, and even after the extraterrestrial evil race is dealt with, they can still keep to themselves and not interfere with each other.
Sun Wukong nodded, then, holding his long staff, he swept directly toward the Heavenly Ranking.
Arriving at the front of the Heavenly Ranking, Sun Wukong stood with his staff, baring his teeth and saying, "Hey! You old Heavenly Dao! I, Old Sun, have received the grace of an entire realm, and I have proven my Dao through killing. I have long ago sworn to slay demons and eliminate evil!"
"If you know what's good for you, stop using your supernatural powers, and I, Old Sun, might give you some face!"
"otherwise……"
"If you fail to kill me, Old Sun, today, I will surely shatter the heavens one day!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire War Demon City fell silent, and everyone gaped in disbelief.
Chu Yang was speechless and facepalmed. Sun Wukong started by calling him "Old Man Heaven" and then made all sorts of threats. He really didn't give him any face at all!
The Heavenly Ranking trembled slightly, and its terrifying pressure intensified once again.
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, gently raised his hand, and the [Heavenly Palace] flew out of his hand, hovering above his head. An unparalleled imperial might emanated from it, actually rivaling the pressure of the Heavenly Ranking!
He remained standing there without saying a word, but his attitude was clear.
Sun Wukong stared at the Heavenly Ranking, but the Heavenly Ranking did not react at all. Chu Yang, on the other hand, stood calmly in the air beside the Dragon-Trapping Tower, and the situation seemed to have reached a stalemate.
After a long while, the Sky Ranking trembled slightly once more, and the terrifying pressure quickly receded. Then, the all-encompassing light curtain began to converge towards the sky.
However, just before the Sky Ranking completely dissipated, a burst of spiritual energy shot out and landed directly on Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong was pinned to the ground by that spiritual power, which smashed half of the War Demon City into ruins.
Fortunately, Chu Yang had already gathered everyone near the Dragon-Trapping Tower; otherwise, many people would likely have been caught in the crossfire.
After the aura of the Heavenly Ranking completely dissipated, Sun Wukong struggled to his feet, looked up at the sky, and cursed under his breath.
Chu Yang slapped his forehead, feeling utterly helpless.
Sun Wukong is good in every way, except that this clone is too bloodthirsty, resulting in excessive violence.
Aside from when he's facing someone else, he always acts like the world is bigger than him...
"Alright, so many people are watching! Aren't you afraid of losing face?"
Chu Yang walked up to Sun Wukong and patted him on the shoulder.
Sun Wukong, still not satisfied, glared angrily at the sky before awkwardly saying to him, "Um... my power... has been sealed by the Heavenly Dao..."
Chu Yang smirked. Sun Wukong's strength had reached the Saint rank, so even if the Asura Demon Emperor came to attack, he could put up a fight against him.
He also planned to wait for the Asura Demon Emperor to come to him, and if the emperor's helpers were only at the early stage of the Saint rank, he would try to kill them.
The demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon Emperor can definitely increase the number of demonic runes by leaps and bounds.
But now it seems that this plan can only be shelved...
Chu Yang didn't care much, because this matter involved a huge element of gambling.
After all, it is still uncertain which Heavenly Demon Emperor the Asura Heavenly Demon Emperor will seek as an ally, and what realm that ally will be.
Moreover, the commotion caused by the arrival of the Sky Ranking in War Demon City is too great, and it will definitely attract many powerful members of the evil race. At that time, with their strength, they will be no different from meat on a chopping board.
