Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 1171 Tong Shihua (Seeking monthly votes, two chapters combined)

The dragon twisted its body, stretching outwards with all its might, its scales standing up one by one. However, the pillar that reached the sky broke through the clouds inch by inch, stacking up like a mountain, and together with the gray fog, firmly suppressed it.

“Xiao Shui, the cultivation methods of the demon race and the human race are different. The human race cultivates inward, separating the ‘self’ from the ‘outside’, while the demon race cultivates outward, blurring the distinction between the ‘self’ and the ‘outside’, and their every move encompasses the heavens and earth.”

That's why great demons and demon kings assimilate their environment, causing precious mines to spring up nearby. The dragon has occupied and assimilated the Dragon Palace for decades, making it impregnable. Your teleportation abilities will be ineffective there, plus there's the Iron-Headed Fish blocking your way…”

“I know, that’s why I didn’t come to the Dragon Palace first, but times have changed. What didn’t work before might not be impossible now!”

Blood and fluids dispersed, while white vapor returned to the surface.

After several powerful charges, the Blood Ape transformed back into a White Ape.

The vast Jianghuai Marshland stretches for thousands of miles. Crossing half of it only requires using the "Water Travels a Thousand Miles" skill five times. The dragon, infected by the extravagant water columns of the marshland, is pinned to the estuary and unable to move forward, forced to swim frantically.

All the demons in the Dragon Palace were wiped out.

Under the dazzling lights of the square, Ironhead Fish stood ready, drenched in cold sweat.

It didn't know how, in less than a year, the white ape had managed to escape from the Huai River in a sorry state and become a match for the dragon in the Lu Cang River. It also didn't know why the dragon had traveled from the Southern Frontier to the Jianghuai region but had been unable to subdue the white ape for so long. The dragon's clone was only 70% as strong as the combined one, and was stronger than it. Suddenly having to face it alone, the iron-headed fish felt a little panicked.

The white ape flashed and darted about in my senses, like a human warship sailing out of port, its bow waving a signal flag.

One intersection, one misalignment, bringing them closer by a thousand miles.

"Little Water, the dragon has broken free from the water column and is chasing us."

"Shut up!" The white ape's darting figure paused, nearly losing control and crashing into the riverbed, its golden eyes revealing a hint of savagery.

"Little Water..."

"No, sorry, I wasn't talking about you."

Who else could be here? The Sea Monk keenly sensed that Liang Qu's state was off; he was definitely not the type to say such things. Combined with his sudden surge of arrogance just now…

"Little Shui, are you knocking on the gates of heaven? What did you get out of it?"

"coming soon."

There was no reply. The white ape interrupted the sea monk, who then cleared his mind of all distractions and used his flesh and blood to heal all the wounds on the white ape's chest and shoulders that had been corroded by the dragon's venom.

The iron-headed fish suddenly pushed up the water flow, and the white ape descended from the sky.

Oops!

How can this guy travel through the Dragon Palace?

The Ironhead Fish was terrified. It realized that the dragon was helpless against it. It felt as if a sharp sword was hanging over its head, its edge fully exposed. It cried out in its heart that its life was over and raised its hard shell to meet the white ape's iron fist.

Boom!
A dull ringing of the bell.

Dust billowed up for miles around. Ironhead Fish's head slammed down, smashing the jade bricks on the square. The jade bricks on the ground remained unbroken, but Ironhead Fish shook its head, seemingly unaffected by the pain.

Ok?
Nothing wrong? Didn't use their full strength? Or is it that the dragon clone could fight a demon king of this level to a standstill?
In the blink of an eye, without a moment to think, the Ironhead Fish turned around and bit back, while the White Ape leaped behind it, a black dragon appearing in its hand, and slashed fiercely at the gap in the Ironhead Fish's armor.

Fresh blood splattered.

Ironhead Fish, in pain, thrashed its fins and dodged to the side. The white ape did not press its advantage; instead, it clenched its fist, and another black dragon converged, slashing at the bricks of the plaza beneath the fiery trees and silver flowers, creating a narrow slit no thicker than a finger.

It can't be penetrated!
"The Dragon Palace was not only raised by the dragon for decades, but also by the Furnace Demon Emperor Dragon Lord for a thousand years!"

One of the hardest places in the world!
There must be other entrances for the dragon to enter and exit, to gnaw and refine the dragon pearl that has manifested as tree roots.

"Frog!"

"I don't know, I don't know! Frog strength has its limits, that's the Dragon Lord, the Dragon Lord!" The old toad jumped up and down, stretching its long whiskers wildly, extremely agitated.

With the compass malfunctioning, he had to figure everything out on his own. The white ape painstakingly spread out across the marshland, the water transforming into snakes, surging into every corner to search. Suddenly, a dormant spiritual link began to pulsate.

"After going to the Jade Wall in the Dragon Palace?"

Inside the ancient village, Awei spun around.

When the dragon first swam upstream to hunt down the gods, it was secretly thrown into the Dragon Palace by a fat catfish. It took the opportunity to explore the terrain of the Dragon Palace and pass through the jade wall. There was a secret passage behind it, but unfortunately, time was tight and it did not have time to explore it.

"Great!" The white ape was overjoyed and was about to leap upwards when it froze for a moment, clutching its head and roaring, "Shut up!"

Ironhead fish is inexplicable.

It didn't utter a single word from beginning to end, and suspecting it was some kind of feint, its body, driven by its fighting instincts, charged towards the opening.

"Xiao Shui!"

Umibozu moved to his back, transforming into a flexible fleshy cushion to block the Ironhead Fish.

The surging impact separated the [Vortex God Armor] and then the Sea Monk's attack on him. The white ape spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed straight into the Dragon Palace.

"Fool!" The dragon emerged from the outer perimeter and roared at the iron-headed fish.

Ironhead Fish swore that with just one collision, the White Ape could fight the Flood Dragon's clone to a standstill, so how could it be so fragile? Why did it run so far? What went wrong?
The dragon... isn't that strong?
Tearing through the water, Liang Qu's consciousness once again left his sea of ​​consciousness and returned. Suddenly, he saw the gate of the Dragon Palace was within reach. Ignoring the sharp pain in his back, he swallowed the blood in his throat and scrambled inside. The dragon chased after him angrily. Halfway there, the dragon seemed to remember something and pointed its claw at the iron-headed fish.

"Come on!"

"I?"

The dragon angrily explained, "I can't exert any strength when I face it!"

"?"

Are you bragging? Are you its little wife? You feel sore and weak just from moving a little?
Time was of the essence, and knowing that now was not the time to argue, Ironhead Fish rallied and pressed on.

There's nothing behind the jade disc.

The cave in Qingwen Valley was dark and noisy, crowded with people. Awei stood on the suitcase, pacing around in circles.

"It's the jade disc? It's going straight up?"

The Ironhead Fish roared and flew in, and the White Ape leaped into the air.

The jade disc rippled and the waves expanded, swallowing the monkey and the fish completely.

The field of vision was dim.

As it plunged in, the white ape found itself in a pitch-black tunnel. Even with its Swamp Kingdom open, it couldn't break through the natural barrier or use its Water Travel ability. A foul wind raged behind it as the ape crawled on all fours, its Ruyi scepter shrinking as it desperately ran.

The dragon tried to use its supernatural powers to travel, but found that even in its home palace, the Dragon Palace, it could not use them. The space between heaven and earth was suppressed and sealed off. With no other choice, it swam around and followed the iron-headed fish into the jade wall.

The passage was extremely narrow and had been nurtured by the Dragon King for thousands of years. Its excavation was incredibly difficult, and it was entirely designed so that the dragon could pass through without any chance of passing by.

White ape, iron-headed fish, and dragon.

The three demon kings entered the tunnel one after another, chasing each other.

The dragon is long, and its body shape is similar to that of a dragon and snake, but the iron-headed fish is wider, with a passageway that can accommodate the dragon's passage. The iron-headed fish sometimes gets stuck and can only watch helplessly as the white ape runs further and further away.

The dragon was restless and raised its claws, violently shoving the iron-headed fish. The iron armor rubbed against the jade wall, causing the entire passageway to tremble and jade fragments to fall in a flurry.

The two beasts charged together, and only then could they barely see the white ape's rear end.

A bright orange light pierced the darkness.

Wow.

The water tore through the air, and the white ape, leading the way, leaped out of the tunnel and landed in a large, oval-shaped, narrow space, smooth and shiny, like the nest where a large snake hibernates.

The roots of the fiery trees drooped down.

Its roots are extremely thick and large, twisted and intertwined like snakes, resembling shrubs, and blooming with a soft orange color, almost like firelight, making the white ape seem to have entered Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace.

"Little Water, there are no Dragon Balls here." Umibozu said anxiously.

This place is impenetrable and impassable; there is no exit, and no way to traverse it. Ironhead fish and dragons are chasing you. Coming to the wrong place means being trapped like a turtle in a jar, a place of certain death.

"Yes!" The white ape opened its mouth, but was dragged back into its sea of ​​consciousness. Its head throbbed with pain. It forced a sliver of consciousness out and pointed its index finger upwards. "The root of the fiery tree and silver flowers is the Dragon Pearl! The legacy of the true dragon is within it. Master, pull me up quickly!"

The tunnel rumbled and the earth shook as the iron-headed fish suddenly poked its head out, its huge mouth snarling menacingly.

Without bothering to think about its meaning, Umibozu wriggled its flesh and blood, and a tentacle grew from the back of the white ape, wrapped around the tree root above its head, and dragged the white ape into the root thicket.

The intertwined, glowing tree roots were more than 80% rotten, like a unkempt beard, gray and dull, with only a few intact ones remaining.

I'm late.

The true dragon disappeared for over a hundred years, while the flood dragon dominated and refined itself for several decades.

The deadline for reaching Grade 2 is approaching in just a few years.

but.

There was also food.

"I told you to shut up, shut up!"

The white ape roared, its consciousness bursting out of its sea of ​​consciousness once more. It opened its arms and tightly embraced the tree root, its mouth, already filled with rotten teeth, biting down hard with its gums.

【Water Essence +1000000】

[Water Essence: One Million]

Ze Ding trembled.

A million essences were suddenly poured in, and Yingying was fully saturated.

After a long drought, there comes dew.

[The fusion level of the Water Ape Great Sage has increased, receiving the blessings of heaven and earth, and the favor of the river has increased by 1]

River Dominance: 0 (River Favorability: 39.7038)

[Completely grasping a talent...]

what……

A sip of ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer day is refreshingly tangy.

Liang Qu felt as if he had taken a big bite of sugarcane, and the sweet juice burst out of his mouth. He sucked on it greedily, his Adam's apple bobbing as the sweet liquid continued to flow into his mouth.

Umibozu was secretly alarmed.

She seriously doubted Liang Qu's condition. All his teeth had been corroded and fallen out by the venom, leaving only his gums. There were no tooth marks on the tree roots at all. Liang Qu hadn't drunk tree sap; it was clearly his own gum blood.

boom!
The cave shook, and the ironhead fish's head emerged halfway out.

"Xiao Shui!"

Boom boom boom.

The water swirls and sparkles, and towering pillars rise from the ground, supporting the space within. The Dark Sea Cage and Water Dragon Lock trap the Ironhead Fish, which has only half its head sticking out, and push it back.

The passageway was narrow and difficult to break through, and with the entrance blocked, it was hard to get through in a short time.

The dragon behind him pushed desperately, while the iron-headed fish blocked both ends.

"Next one!"

Umibozu extends its tentacle and then wraps around the second one.

【Water Essence +1000000】

[Water Essence: One Million]

"Ah!" the white ape cried out in pain, clutching its wrists and tremors like a feverish person, "The third one..."

The dragon roared.

The Water Dragon Lock collapsed, the Nether Sea Cage shattered, and the Sky Pillar crumbled.

With all obstacles cleared, the Ironhead Fish burst out of the tunnel and charged toward the White Ape.

The white ape shrunk to its smallest size, and the sea spirit retracted its arms and legs, leading Liang Qu into the dense, tangled tree roots.

Like an eel, it swam out of the dragon tunnel, then burrowed into the tree roots, its body circling around the dragon, chasing the white ape alongside the iron-headed fish.

The three demons circled around, but this narrow space was a natural refuge for Umibozu. There was no cave or crevice that the Octopus Clan could not squeeze into!
Occasionally, [Optimus Prime] and [Sea Prison] would block their way from behind, but the Sea Monk pulled and tugged repeatedly, managing to get Liang Qu to the third one.

【Water Essence +1000000】

[Water Essence: One Million]

【Water Essence: 13】

[Refine Ze Ling: Water Ape Great Sage (Orange) (Fusion Rate: 72%)↑]

The dragon was enraged.

The True Dragon's Legacy remained unchanged, but the White Ape's aura surged forward.

The water level rose once when it entered the sea and never stopped. After touching the Dragon Ball, it rose again. This was not the same kind of progress. The white ape must have gained some benefit from the legacy of the true dragon.

A completely different, faster refining method.

"Wow!"

The white ape spat out a mouthful of blood, and the dragon shook its head.

Every loss has its gain; is this a backlash from the refinement process?
"Quick! Surround it!"

The Lu Cang River was murky and stained with blood. Countless dead fish floated on the surface. The Great Shaman and the Martial Saint were panting heavily, constantly distracted by the scene. The Mountain Dragon followed the battlefield, remaining detached from the events. The Frog King leaned against the anchor, exhausted. Cracks appeared on the back of the Turtle King.

"Damn it, did Liang kid say when this fight would end?" General Yuan dodged left and right, his face bruised and swollen. "If I take this last hit, I'll disband the group. True Lord, you keep your word and have a great capacity to support a boat. Don't kill me! I, Old Turtle, owe you a favor. I have no choice but to do this because of the debt of gratitude."

Enraged, the monkeys of Shoushan broke off half of their wooden sticks and smashed them at the dragon turtle's head.

"Damn it, you eat and drink my food, and that brat Liang runs off with you the moment he glances at you! I'll deal with you all after I'm done with you!"

General Yuan shrank back and cursed angrily, his breath suddenly fading away.

The dragon's clones retreated from the southern border and flashed northward!
The great shaman and the martial saint's expressions shifted.

The dragon and the iron-headed fish joined forces in the Yangtze and Huai Rivers, but failed. They need to recall their clones.

Mingming fled in a sorry state when he was at Lucangjiang.

"Charge! Charge! Charge! Slay the dragon, repay the emperor's kindness, and restore peace and order to the Great Swamp! Who else but me can do it!"

General Yuan swung his claws forward, then turned and called for the Turtle King and Frog King to follow. They then entered the tributary near the river and fled through the eddies.

The water blade flew out, and the Sea Monk couldn't dodge in time. Half of her arm was cut off by the dragon. Before she could catch it and reconnect with her flesh, the Ironhead Fish swung its tail and charged out, forcing her to dodge to the side. She watched helplessly as the Ironhead Fish swallowed half of her arm. The fish wiped away the struggling arm tip from the corner of its mouth with its fin and grinned ferociously.

"Sea Monk, how much flesh and blood do you have left to repair yourself? You're just a sea merchant, running around doing nothing but trying to save your life. How dare you interfere in the Dragon Lord's affairs? It's not easy to defeat the Eight-Clawed King and cultivate to become a Demon King. The Eight-Clawed King has an even shorter lifespan. Why throw your life away for nothing?"

Umibozu remained silent, its arms and legs intertwined, as it fled into its root system.

The dragon gave the ironhead fish a wink and then surrounded it a second time.

"Cough! Master, let me take over!" The white ape coughed up another mouthful of blood, almost with fragments of internal organs. Its dilated golden eyes refocused, and the sea spirit could not find the source of the injury at all. These wounds seemed to have appeared out of thin air, but she did not hesitate.

"it is good!"

Wiping the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, the white ape took the initiative, dodging the attacking dragon, and climbed up the tree like a monkey, brushing against the iron-headed fish.

Umibozu retreated back into his body, focusing all his efforts on repairing his internal wounds.

Ironhead Fish cursed under its breath.

The dragon, the white ape, and the eight-clawed creature were all adept at climbing and crawling around, naturally adapted to the dense tree roots. However, the dragon was like a woman, saying that it would become weak and powerless when it touched the roots. It was also not good at this, and could only watch helplessly as the white ape touched the fourth root.

【Water Essence +1000000】

[Water Essence: One Million]

[Refine Ze Ling: Water Ape Great Sage (Orange) (Fusion Rate: 76%)↑]

With bright, piercing eyes, Liang Qu seemed to have fully recovered from the unknown headache.

But what is the truth?

Only it knows the truth.

"Open the Heavenly Gate for me first, then I'll fight you. If you kill me, it's on you!"

Above the Jade Gate, a larger, stronger, and more ferocious white ape, its hands and feet bound by iron chains, leaned back and looked at the white ape in front of it, which was barely breathing. It then crashed to the ground and picked its nose with its index finger.

"First a Martial Saint, then open the Heavenly Gate? What kind of rule or good deal is that? You're dreaming!"

"Hey!" the white ape on the ground grinned. "Someone like you, what do you care about rules?"

The white ape from Yumen rubbed its fingertips together and flicked out a booger from its nose.

Suddenly, he grinned, revealing his canine teeth.

"Xiao Shui! It's a dragon trap, a feint attack! Look behind us!"

"I know!"

The white ape's golden eyes slanted sideways, one glance rendering the dragon powerless, the other locking onto the edge of the fish's tail, its five fingers spread wide.

Twist your body, take a step, and spin.

Punch out.

Boom!
defenseless.

The armor trembled violently, blood seeping from the gaps, and the eyes of the iron-headed fish turned crimson.

Saliva mixed with blood was spat out.

How can it be……

It's completely different from what you see in the square...

The white ape used the momentum to fly backward, parted the tree roots, and leaped upward.

Umibozu's flesh and blood wriggled, healing the white ape's broken forearm.

[Refine Ze Ling: Water Ape Great Sage (Orange) (Fusion Rate: 80%)↑]

[The fusion level of the Water Ape Great Sage has increased, receiving the blessings of heaven and earth, and the favor of the river has increased by 3.745]

The white ape showed no joy and looked up.

Another terrifying aura swept across the heavens and earth, rapidly approaching and suddenly emerging from the tunnel.

Two dragons, simultaneously encircling their heads!
