Chapter 376 The Ancient Covenant Law
At this moment, the entire city of Nikko suffered.

When the massive sea of ​​stones crushed Huaguo Mountain and countless buildings, causing dust to rise like mushroom clouds, the rolling dust waves spread throughout Nikko City like an avalanche, blowing away vehicles, streetlights, trash cans, and other objects into the air.

Trash flew everywhere, and shards of glass scattered like bullets, even affecting the ubiquitous monkeys, who were swallowed up by the dust and blown away one after another, their chirping incessant.

If they were just ordinary monkeys, the casualties would have been enormous by now.

After Sun Wukong emerged from the stone, bathed in the divine power of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, these monkeys all entered a berserk state. Although they did not become divine beasts, they became beings similar to divine messengers, possessing a certain degree of magical power, and were no longer as fragile as humans and ordinary monkeys.

Therefore, although Nikko City was in a state of disaster, the monkeys that lived there were almost unharmed, at most only injured.

Naturally, Erica, Liliana, and Yuri Mariya, who were originally fighting at the foot of Huaguo Mountain, also withdrew early on.

Yuri Mariya's spiritual vision had already detected the danger, so Liliana decisively activated her flight technique, taking Yuri Mariya with her and flying away. Erica covered their retreat, and finally, she also used a jump magic to quickly escape, avoiding the most dangerous area.

As for the heavens, they have once again become a battlefield between god-slayers and disobedient gods.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, Sun Wukong's size returned to normal, and he once again soared through the clouds, entering the realm of divine speed, and launched an attack on Aize.

"The golden cudgel, the wind-blading axe, with its front and back shields, employs cunning and strategy; its ever-changing and soaring movements lead to victory!"

Chanting incantations that sounded like poetry, Sun Wukong swiftly extended his Ruyi Jingu Bang towards Aize.

"The four seas and eight rivers serve as a testament to the power of the Sea-Suppressing Divine Treasure, and the Heavenly River-Stabilizing Divine Treasure Cudgel is renowned throughout the world for its Ruyi Cudgel!"

Under the influence of His chanting, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which had been sealed by the power of the golden sword, began to shine again, breaking free from its dim state and becoming golden and radiant.

"Take a stick from my old grandson!"

Sun Wukong swung his golden Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff), unleashing a lightning-fast attack.

"clang!"

Aize couldn't see Sun Wukong entering the Godspeed Domain, but his authority was still active, and his body moved naturally, raising his trident and instantly blocking the heavy blow.

"Language is light, and the power of words is a sword; with a hundred blows, one can defeat a thousand; with a thousand blows, one can annihilate ten thousand!"

Aize also chanted incantations, causing the golden swords hovering around him to dance and transform into a golden storm that swept towards Sun Wukong.

"Is it that hateful sword again?!"

Sun Wukong's voice seemed to come from the void, moving left and right, fast and fast, clearly indicating that he was moving at lightning speed to dodge the deadly rain of golden swords.

For god-slayers and divine artifacts, the Golden Sword can only be used to seal their power. But for gods, the Golden Sword is the strongest spear and the strongest sword, capable of severing not only their divine essence but also their physical bodies.

Therefore, Sun Wukong dared not be hit by the golden sword, as that would be too fatal.

"How can a sword god so vehemently reject the strongest sword that slays gods?"

Azer put away his trident and instead summoned the Pursuer and the Exile, letting out a loud voice.

"Aren't you supposed to be invincible with a head of bronze and arms of iron? Let's see if this golden sword can cut you down!"

As he spoke, the storm formed by the golden sword spread out, like beams of laser light, indiscriminately slashing across the entire sky, making the sky seem to be flashing with countless golden lights, creating an unexpectedly beautiful scene.

"Ouch! That hurts so much, old Sun!"

Sun Wukong suddenly snapped out of his super speed state, crying out in pain as one of his hands became covered in blood.

There was no doubt that the hand had been grazed by the golden sword.

"good chance!"

Without a second thought, Aize immediately controlled all the golden swords, condensing them into a massive golden blade that blotted out the sky.

"Pfft!"

The enormous golden sword slashed down, instantly cleaving Sun Wukong, whose hand was dripping with blood, in two, causing him to bleed on the spot.

"Ok?"

Aize was slightly taken aback, and then his expression changed.

"No! That's a clone!"

The words had barely left Aize's mouth when Sun Wukong's voice reached his ears.

"exactly!"

Another Sun Wukong appeared behind Aize and struck out with his staff.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang did not hit Aize, but instead struck the pursuer who suddenly appeared beside Aize.

The pursuer, wreathed in whirlwind, released a powerful gust of wind the moment it collided with the Ruyi Jingu Bang, sending Sun Wukong flying.

"laugh!"

At this moment, the Exile, its entire body crackling with lightning, shot out and attacked Sun Wukong.

"How could a mere club forged by a foreign god possibly be a match for my Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron?"

Not to be outdone, Sun Wukong brandished his golden cudgel and engaged in a fierce battle with the attacking exiles.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

The two sticks kept colliding with each other, creating shockwaves that churned up the atmosphere.

The banished creature, crackling with electricity, unleashed astonishing speed, attacking Sun Wukong time and again. However, Sun Wukong's powerfully wielded golden cudgel blocked each attack. Even when the pursuers, wreathed in whirlwinds, joined the fray, Sun Wukong handled them with ease.

Aize mobilized the remaining Golden Swords to assist in the battle, but Sun Wukong dared to confront the Pursuer and Exile's magical staffs head-on, yet dared not touch the Golden Swords, using his divine speed to create distance between himself and the Golden Swords.

Aize tried to surround Sun Wukong with a large number of golden swords to form an encirclement, but Sun Wukong's greatest skill was his seventy-two transformations. Every time he was surrounded, he would use his supernatural powers to either create clones to fight back or simply transform into one of the golden swords and blend in with them, taking the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and attack Aize's side.

Before long, Aize also found himself surrounded.

Hundreds of Sun Wukongs appeared around him, each wielding a golden cudgel, leaping and bounding around him. The cudgels spun like windmills in their hands, making Aize somewhat dizzy. Annoyed beyond measure, Aize could only take out the Eternal Spear, only to find that Sun Wukongs were waiting for him there.

"Certainly!"

With a loud shout from Sun Wukong, Aize clearly felt that his body was bound by an invisible force and he could no longer move.

"Oh!"

The next second, Aize's extraordinary resistance to cursed power came into play, repelling the immobilization spell cast by Sun Wukong.

But even this short time was enough for Sun Wukong to do his thing.

“Namo Samanta Vajra Nan, Zhan Nu Maha Lusa Nu, Sapo Zha Ye, Moo, Taloka Hanman.”

Sun Wukong then seized the opportunity to chant the power of words.

The true nature of that Word of Power is a kind of Buddhist teaching, a technique that forcibly realizes the essence of "laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot".

Of all the magical arts, Buddhism can be said to be the most domineering and powerful.

Therefore, when Sun Wukong chanted the words containing the essence of Buddhism, Aize felt that the Eternal Spear in his hand suddenly became extremely heavy, and his hand unconsciously loosened its grip, causing the Eternal Spear to fall to the ground.

"you……"

Aize looked at Sun Wukong with some surprise.

"Do you think I, Old Sun, didn't notice the dangerous divine power contained in that spear?" Sun Wukong laughed heartily, looking like he had succeeded in his wicked scheme, and said, "You are also extremely dangerous. Besides the golden sword that can cleave through a god's soul, you actually have such a dangerous divine spear. It feels like even Laozi's treasures are not as numerous as yours!"

"...Don't you have quite a few tricks up your sleeve?" Aize looked deeply at Sun Wukong, his eyes flashing with golden light, and said, "I have encountered quite a few gods, including god kings and chief gods, but among all these gods, you are overwhelmingly powerful and outstanding."

"It's only been a few days, how could you have accumulated such great power?"

Aize began to have doubts.

Admittedly, Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, is an extremely powerful deity, comparable even to the god-kings and chief gods that Aize has encountered in the past. However, Sun Wukong's performance at this moment is clearly more than just "comparable".

His strength was exceptionally powerful, and it grew stronger with the passage of time, especially his magical power, which felt almost on par with his own.

This is an amazing thing.

It should be noted that Azer has sacrificed the gods he defeated more than once, not only gaining power from them but also obtaining magical power from them time and time again.

This resulted in Azer's magical power being several times that of an ordinary Godslayer when he first became one, and it is now even more astonishing. It is likely that the combined magical power of the other six Godslayers in the world is not more than his.

Logically speaking, the powers of a god might be far greater than those of a god-slayer who can only acquire one power at a time, but in terms of sheer magical power, there shouldn't be a significant difference between the two.

At least, this was true of all the disobedient gods Azer had encountered before; in terms of sheer magical power, Azer, who initially became a god-slayer, possessed far more than any of them.

But Sun Wukong, who did not follow this advice, was different.

His magical power was far greater than any of the disobedient gods Azer had encountered before, but Azer simply assumed it was due to the immense power He had accumulated over the years.

Who would have thought that as the battle progressed and time passed, Sun Wukong's magical power increased and his strength grew stronger, to the point that even the Golden Sword, Azer's trump card, could no longer touch him, and the Eternal Spear was directly knocked down by a single incantation, without even having a chance to be thrown.

This is not the power that a normal, disobedient god should possess, nor is it the behavior that a normal, disobedient god should exhibit.

Is it...

Recalling some events from the original story, Aize vaguely guessed what had happened to Sun Wukong.

“This is indeed not a force that I could accumulate on my own.”

Sun Wukong didn't hide anything and openly revealed what had happened to him.

"This is the power granted to me by an ancient covenant. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be triggered in you."

The ancient covenant mentioned by Sun Wukong was an agreement that only occurred among gods.

"Godslayers, when such beings are born on earth and enter the vision of the gods, the gods... our first feeling is not fear, but rage!"

"Human beings should obey God, revere God, and worship God; this is the truth of the world!"

"However, the appearance of the god-slaying beast symbolizes that humanity has begun to rebel against the gods, against the realm of heaven, forgetting its own duty, and starting to rebel against the gods who have already transcended the mortal realm!"

"Moreover, every time a god-slayer appears on earth, chaos ensues, causing the balance and order between the mortal world and the underworld to be disrupted!"

"Godslayers...you monsters are the real demon kings, you are beings who disrespect and rebel against the gods, and disrupt the world, and you deserve to be punished!"

When he said this, Sun Wukong was no longer the mischievous monkey he once was, but rather like a truly high and mighty god, his eyes filled with arrogance and indifference.

"In order to punish you demon kings, the gods forged an ancient covenant!"

"To vanquish the demon king who slays gods and restore peace to the earth is the mandate of the gods!"

"Based on this covenant and destiny, if a group of sword gods with special properties manifest on earth and meet certain conditions, they will be able to obtain the power to destroy you from heaven, earth, and the stars!"

Just as a god-slayer will immediately feel a powerful force surging from his body when he encounters a god, and he can do all sorts of incredible things in order to kill a god, these special sword gods will obtain supreme power from heaven and earth and the stars in order to defeat the god-slayer if they are at a disadvantage in numbers during the battle.

Sun Wukong, who refused to obey, was one such special case.

"If one is a legendary hero born in accordance with destiny, then one can activate the Covenant Law anytime, anywhere, and gain power surpassing all gods!"

"The more god-slayers there are on earth, the more power the heroes born in accordance with destiny will gain. The more god-slayers there are, the stronger the heroes will be!"

"Unfortunately, although I, Old Sun, am a rare sword god in heaven and earth, I am not a hero born according to destiny, so I should not be able to use the Covenant Technique in one-on-one combat..."

Sun Wukong's gaze towards Aize deepened.

“But fellow god-slayer, you seem to be special. Your magical power alone is comparable to all the god-slayers in the world.”

For this reason, Sun Wukong was able to barely meet the conditions for activating the Covenant Law this time.

After all, facing the god-slayer before you is no different from facing any god-slayer in the world.
