Chapter 224: Chapter 107: Ninth-Grade Demon King of Taihang Mountain! Thunder Essence Fruit Tree

The Golden Eagle King hovered in midair, its sharp golden eyes like tangible blades. Its golden Feathers bristled, slicing through the air currents.

The three Demon Kings had formed a tacit alliance. Their overwhelming Demon Qi coiled into a single force, crashing down in relentless, invisible waves upon the Monkey King, who stood alone beneath the Thunder Essence Fruit Tree!

The Monkey King, the original master of this valley, had his fur bristling and muscles knotted like iron.

He gripped the somber black Profound Iron Long Staff in one claw, his other held protectively before the strange Thunder Essence Fruit Tree behind him, refusing to yield a single inch.

Facing the combined pressure of three powerful foes of equal rank, his eyes glinted with a savage light. He bared his fangs, a low, threatening growl rumbling in his throat.

He stood firm, withstanding the overwhelming pressure.

Just as the tension reached a breaking point,

the air taut and ready to snap,

something unexpected happened!

On the Thunder Essence Fruit Tree,

the fruit—the size of an adult’s fist and wreathed in fine arcs of purple lightning—suddenly erupted with a brilliant, blinding flash of light!

Countless tiny silver serpents of lightning writhed and burst, letting out a sharp CRACKLE.

A unique, fruity aroma instantly permeated the entire valley!

The fruit was ripe!

In that split second, as the three Demon Kings instinctively squinted at the sudden flare of light—

"ROAR!"

The Monkey King, who was right beside it, let out an earth-shattering roar!

His claw, covered in golden fur, moved so fast it was but a blurry golden shadow. With a shriek that tore through the air, it snatched the gleaming fruit with unerring precision!

Without the slightest hesitation, and with no intention of savoring it,

the Monkey King violently shoved the Thunder Essence Fruit, which pulsed with wild Thunder Energy, into his mouth and swallowed it whole, practically forcing it down his throat!

The hard pit seemed to catch for a moment, causing his neck to bulge.

"ROAR! You three goddamn beasts! Just you wait!"

The Monkey King’s eyes were bloodshot. Wild arcs of lightning darted uncontrollably across his body. Clearly, swallowing the Miracle Fruit whole was causing him immense pain and a severe energy backlash.

He glared at the three Demon Kings, his voice hoarse and venomous, dripping with overwhelming hatred.

"Once I’ve completed the Refinement of this Spirit Fruit’s power, I’ll make you repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold! I’ll grind your bones to dust!"

Before his words had even faded,

the Monkey King stomped his foot. BOOM! The hard rock beneath him instantly exploded, leaving a massive crater.

Using the rebound force, his body became a blurry golden streak. With incredible agility, he instantly shot down the steep mountain slope, fleeing for his life into the distance!

’His heart blazed with monstrous rage, mixed with endless frustration and the agony of his loss!’

’The Thunder Essence Fruit should have been carefully channeled and slowly refined to absorb the maximum amount of the heaven and earth Thunder Essence it contained!’

’Now, forced into a corner by the three Demon Kings, he had been forced to swallow it whole without a second thought. The violent power of Thunder was now rampaging through his body, not only causing him agony but also meaning at least seventy percent of the fruit’s efficacy had been wasted, dissipating as a chaotic torrent of energy!’

’He, the Monkey King, would remember this blood feud. It was a debt that would not be settled until death!’

"Damn it!"

"You dare, old monkey!"

"Tear him to shreds! He hasn’t refined it yet! Kill the old monkey! Rip out his tendons, flay his skin, drink his blood, and refine his bones! We’ll extract the Thunder Essence Fruit’s power from his very flesh and blood!"

Watching their prize get snatched from right under their noses, and seeing the Spirit Fruit desecrated in such a way, the three Demon Kings fell into an absolute fury!

The White Snake King let out a heaven-shaking hiss, its massive body shooting forward like a bolt of white lightning.

The Yak King snorted jets of hot white smoke from its nostrils, its hooves shattering the earth as it rumbled forward like an out-of-control steel war chariot.

The Golden Eagle King let out a screech that could shatter stone, and with a single beat of its wings, it transformed into a golden streak of light that tore across the sky, overtaking the others despite starting last!

Killing intent instantly flooded the entire secluded valley!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The chaotic battle between the four Demon Kings erupted in an instant!

Terrifying Demon Qi swept out like a tsunami, colliding, tearing, and exploding!

Sand flew and stones were sent hurtling as the sky itself seemed to darken!

The entire valley trembled violently. The hard rock walls, struck by stray blasts of energy, crumbled and shattered in massive chunks as if they were made of tofu!

Deafening booms, the piercing clang of metal, and furious roars and hisses wove together.

They formed a symphony of destruction.

It was as if they intended to shatter the very world itself!

Although the Monkey King was fighting one against three and at a clear disadvantage, the jet-black long staff in his hand was his greatest asset!

The staff became a blur, like a ravenous black dragon. Every swing carried immense force, tearing through the air with a ghost-like wail.

The staff descended like a mountain!

"BANG!"

A vicious blow crashed down on the White Snake King’s massive, scale-covered body!

The scales, harder than steel, instantly shattered. Seven or eight of them flew in all directions like projectiles, trailing gore and leaving a mangled, bloody crater in their wake!

"RIP!"

The staff’s momentum shifted, and it slashed toward the Yak King with a whistle.

Even with the Yak King’s incredibly thick hide and astonishing defense, the blow still sheared off a large patch of tough hide and thick fur, along with dripping flesh, causing the beast to let out a heaven-shaking roar of pain!

"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"

The long staff swept out, smashing toward the Golden Eagle King in the air!

The Golden Eagle King was incredibly fast. Its hook-like talons clawed at the staff while its sharp beak pecked at the Monkey King’s head. But the staff’s shadow formed a defensive curtain, and several hard, sharp golden Feathers were still knocked loose, spinning like golden blades as they plunged into the ground!
