Great Demon Sun Wukong

Although Sun Wukong had not seen the four individuals holding the World Suppressing Stele, he could guess that these four must be from among the Six Great Divine Nations, likely the four major ones.

At this point, Sun Wukong seemed to have gained some insights, but he did not say much and continued to watch quietly.

After those four Domain Lords appeared, the middle-aged man who possessed the Wasteland Soil Stele suddenly turned as pale as death. While he might have been confident in escaping from the countless Nine Patterns Supremes, facing these four Domain Lords left him without a shred of hope.

Forget four Domain Lords, even if there were only one, it would be quite an achievement not to die, especially since he had already gone through such a protracted battle, depleting much of his physical and spiritual power.

The four of them did not talk much but simultaneously offered up their World Suppressing Steles. The middle-aged man, despite his look of despair, did not just wait for death. He raised both hands, and the Wasteland Soil Stele exploded with a bang, spreading a vast amount of yellow sand imbued with the power of the Earth Element.

Sun Wukong recognized that this was the Three Thousand Barren Soil he had once transformed into, but in the middle-aged man's hands, it was simply a desert. Countless grains of yellow sand came together to form a humanoid shape. This figure also wore ancient armor, but strangely held a hilt in its hand without a blade.

However, though the yellow sand figure was vast, it lasted only moments against the World Suppressing Steles of the same level before it was shattered. Within the sandstorm, four Heavenly Steles transformed into four individuals. To be precise, energy formed humanoid shapes around the steles.

And these figures were exactly the likenesses of the four Domain Lords. At that moment, the Domain Lords' illusory selves, each holding their respective weapons, pierced through the middle-aged man's body.

That was not yet the end; the weapons in those four shadows' hands flipped and sliced, immediately severing the middle-aged man's body, and then the four pieces of the Heavenly Stele revealed their true forms, each suppressing a piece of the divided corpse directly.

However, just after the four Domain Lords had thoroughly destroyed both the physical body and soul of the middle-aged man, they found that the young man who was standing with him had disappeared, and the Wasteland Soil Stele was also gone.

The faces of the four Domain Lords turned cold and stern, and after each used their Divine Skills to conduct a search, they all looked in the same direction. "If you don't eliminate the root, the spring breeze will bring it back to life.

Men, pursue!" After speaking, one of the Domain Lords pointed a finger, and countless Nine Patterns Supremes flew toward the direction indicated like locusts passing through.

However, just as these innumerable Nine Patterns Supremes had not gone far, suddenly, a massive wall of earth rose up, blocking everyone. In the astonished gaze of Sun Wukong and the Flame God, a beautiful woman suddenly soared into the sky. Her hands flicking through Magical Decrees, countless earth dragons and beasts formed and charged towards the legion of Nine Patterns Supremes in the sky.

At first, no one paid much attention, assuming she was just some high-level expert from the Dominion of Soil who hadn't died. But soon, everyone, including the four Domain Lords, realized their mistake.

The earth dragons and beasts formed by the woman seemed rough but possessed extremely strong attack power. Each had the strength of a Nine Patterns Supreme, and especially those who had fused at least three Laws. Soon, the countless Nine Patterns Supremes intending to pursue the young man began to fall and suffer heavy casualties.

Despite the woman's prowess, she had not yet attracted the attention of the four Domain Lords. But when she summoned countless earth giants, even the four Domain Lords were taken aback. The earth giants summoned later each possessed the strength of a Nine Patterns Supreme that had fused with seven Laws, and they were both agile and quick.

Eventually, the four Domain Lords could no longer sit idly by, as they had realized that this woman was the Guardian of the Dominion of Soil. Each Divine Nation had a Guardian, but in the previous brutal battle, the Dominion of Soil, though it had produced many experts, none seemed particularly formidable.

This led the four Domain Lords, who had been observing in secret, to believe that the Guardian of the Dominion of Soil might have met with some accident. But now they knew that the Guardian had been biding her time all along, to leave a glimmer of hope for the Dominion of Soil.

When the four Domain Lords took action together, it was more than the woman could bear – the overwhelming force instantly destroyed her physical form, but her soul miraculously managed to escape.

Although the woman was dead, her objective had been achieved. Her interference meant that even the four Domain Lords were now unable to sense the whereabouts of the young man and the World Suppressing Stele. In the end, despite dispatching everyone remaining to search, it was all in vain.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong had understood everything. Previously, Sun Wukong had already heard Xi Zhao speak about the affairs of the original Nine Great Divine Kingdoms.

Originally, the cosmos had nine World Suppressing Steles, each obtained by the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms.

They were held by the Annihilation Demon Nation with Destruction number one; the Genesis Divine Nation with Genesis number two; the Dominion of Soil with Wasteland Soil number three; the Myriad Gods Hall with God Binding number four; the Netherworld World with Soul Suppressing number five; the Myriad Demons Country with Demon Transcending number six; the Myriad Spirits Realm with Holy Spirit number seven; the Blue Water Realm with Ultimate Water number eight; and the Li Fire Realm with Burning Fire number nine.

However, the Blue Water Realm, which possessed the Ultimate Water number eight, lost its World Suppressing Stele because its Domain Lord stole the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit in an attempt to break through his realm.

He was discovered by a Heavenly Patroller, and despite being lost in his delusion and trying to use the entire Blue Water Realm's power to fight against the Heavenly Patroller for a key point on the Supreme Path, he ended up dead.

The outcome was the complete annihilation of the Blue Water Realm, with the death of its Domain Lord and the extinction of countless creatures within the Divine Kingdom, not a single soul left behind. This event shocked all worlds in the universe, and after the fall of the Pioneer, it was the first time the universe witnessed the terrifying power of the Heavenly Patrollers.

This incident caused Yue Huangquan, the Domain Lord of the Netherworld World, to reflect profoundly. Of course, his reflection wasn't just about the terror of the Heavenly Patroller, but about the fact that not a single soul from the entire Divine Kingdom had entered his Netherworld World.

Otherwise, it's likely that the Netherworld World would have already become the foremost Divine Kingdom in the universe.

After the Blue Water Realm's demise, the next unfortunate one was the Li Fire Realm, which possessed Burning Fire number nine. They, too, were destroyed by the united efforts of the other Seven Great Divine Nations, solely because their Domain Lord happened into possession of a relic from the universe's Pioneer—a genuine Ancient Times Divine Artifact, the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon.

Once the Domain Lord of the Li Fire Realm obtained the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, he, with his understanding of Fire Power, was able to intuitively and fully repair it, even without a teacher. Moreover, he managed to replicate countless small-scale Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannons of varying Attack Power.

With possession of such a daunting weapon, the Domain Lord of the Li Fire Realm grew restless. Starting with those replicated Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannons, he first annihilated several medium-sized worlds and then a few High-Level ones. As the Domain Lord recognized the terrifying potential of the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannons, his ambition gradually devoured his reason.

He then planned to eradicate all Divine Kingdoms in one fell swoop, aiming to make the Li Fire Realm the sole ruler of the universe.

Similarly, his actions once again alarmed the Heavenly Patrollers. As the genuine Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon was a Divine Object used by the Pioneer of the universe, and the Heavenly Patrollers were the Pioneer's subordinates, they sensed the use of the accurate model the moment the Li Fire Realm's Domain Lord employed it.

However, this time the Heavenly Patroller did not act directly. Instead, they sent envoys to notify the Seven Great Divine Nations, including the Dominion of Soil, promising that if they could eradicate the Li Fire Realm, all of its resources would be divided among them according to their contributions in battle.

Therefore, after the first instance where a Heavenly Patroller personally destroyed a Divine Kingdom, the Li Fire Realm, despite resisting with the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon for a considerable time, was eventually outnumbered and destroyed by the combined force of the Seven Great Divine Nations.

Furthermore, all the seized Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannons were destroyed by the envoys sent by the Heavenly Patroller, and the genuine one was taken by the envoy.

Though the Seven Great Divine Nations suffered losses during this event, they also gained enormous benefits. The only unsatisfied party was Yue Huangquan, for the unique nature of the Netherworld World grows stronger with more deaths, yet the population there also diminished sharply following the war.

To prevent the Netherworld World from becoming too powerful, the major Divine Kingdoms had developed a method preventing souls from entering the Netherworld upon death, leading to their direct annihilation. However, this method was only used during massive wars and was prohibited by the Heavenly Patrollers under normal circumstances.

It was after this great battle that the Domain Lord of the Dominion of Soil suddenly noticed something unusual about the World Suppressing Stele. The original Wasteland Soil Stele, though immensely powerful with its ability to Illusion Transform Desolate Sand to Devour all things, did not actively consume.

However, following that war, the Wasteland Soil Stele began to emit an intense craving for Energy. At first, the Domain Lord of the Dominion of Soil could control it, but over time the craving grew stronger until the Whole World Suppressing Stele transformed into an evil stele.
