#241 - Chapter 241: Ending Soon

Afterward, you slowly guided the circular Yin-Yang jade pendant towards the circular gap in the stone monkey bronze statue. After three seconds, the circular Yin-Yang jade pendant was guided to ten centimeters above the gap. In another instant, you suddenly pulled with your spiritual power, and the circular jade pendant snapped into the circular gap.

At that very moment, a monstrous spiritual power erupted from the stone monkey statue, as if the circular Yin-Yang jade pendant had revived the stone monkey statue. The stone monkey statue began to emit golden light all over its body, and the monstrous spiritual pressure pressed down on you and the Fourth Prince. Both of you felt as if a deity had returned.

"Could it be that Sun Wukong has revived? The power of this spiritual energy is so strong." Under the impact of the stone monkey statue's spiritual pressure, the Fourth Prince was already somewhat unsteady on his feet. Especially with the golden light emanating from the stone statue, the Fourth Prince had the urge to kneel down.

It was as if this golden spiritual pressure had a bloodline suppression effect on him. Lin Changqing on the other side was slightly stronger, but he could also feel the fierce pressure that the stone monkey statue brought him.

"Indeed extraordinary. The previous activation of the bronze statue didn't bring about any major changes, but now looking at the stone monkey statue, it's as if a deity is reviving, bringing immense pressure to people," Lin Changqing thought silently.

After another quarter of an hour, the eruption of spiritual power from the stone monkey statue finally stopped. At this moment, a phantom of a monkey deity formed in the sky. This stone monkey deity was clad in golden armor, stepped on auspicious seven-colored clouds, and wore Flood Dragon shoes. This appearance was none other than the Great Sage Equaling Heaven from myths and legends!

The stone monkey deity looked at you and the Fourth Prince with majestic eyes.

"I am the guardian of the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, transformed from a strand of hair of the Great Sage. My duty is to guide future inheritors to accept the inheritance of the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art." The stone monkey deity slowly spoke. Hearing this, Lin Changqing and the Fourth Prince were also shocked. It was actually Sun Wukong, although only transformed from a strand of hair, it was enough to be astonishing.

After all, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven Sun Wukong was a mythical figure from the Primordial Era. Now, to actually see him in reality, even if it was just a strand of hair, was enough to shock people.

"Junior greets the Great Sage," Lin Changqing said respectfully. The Fourth Prince on the other side also bowed respectfully.

"You two inheritors need not be so polite. I am just a strand of hair from the Great Sage, unworthy of being addressed as the Great Sage by you two." The stone monkey deity slowly shook his head. Seeing the stone monkey deity say this, the Fourth Prince and Lin Changqing no longer insisted, but they were still very respectful.

"May I ask, Senior, how should we two compete for the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art?" It was the Fourth Prince who asked.

The stone monkey deity replied: "According to the rules set by the Great Sage in the past, anyone who holds the Yin-Yang jade pendant is qualified to inherit the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art. You two each hold a piece of the Yin-Yang jade pendant, which means you two are both qualified to obtain the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art."

"However, of the Ten Great Heavenly Arts, only one person is passed down in each generation. Therefore, you two must compete. I will choose a stronger person to inherit the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art. In other words, I need you two to have a ring battle to observe who is more qualified to accept the inheritance of the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art."

"As expected, it's a ring battle, a battle of realms. In that case, the influencing factors for my competition for the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art are gone." After listening to the stone monkey deity's words, Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes. He had said before that he believed that if it was a battle of realms, no one could surpass him. But he was worried before that the requirements for the inheritance of the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art were different, but now listening to the stone monkey deity say this, it was for him and the Fourth Prince to have a ring battle. Whoever wins will get the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art. That's what he's good at. Although he sealed half of his spiritual power and lowered his realm by four minor levels, he still had the confidence to defeat the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince on the other side was also very confident.

"Very good, a ring battle. Lin Changqing is too arrogant, actually sealing half of his spiritual power and lowering his realm by four minor levels. If I still can't beat him like this, I might as well buy a piece of tofu and crash into it to die." The Fourth Prince had anticipation and fervor in his eyes. He looked forward to winning against Lin Changqing and obtaining the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art!

"Two inheritors, next, I will lead you to the martial arts arena. You will duel on it. Whoever wins will get this Stone Monkey Rune and obtain the inheritance of the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art," the stone monkey deity said slowly. A Stone Monkey Rune burst out from his fingertips. This rune seemed to condense the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth.

Vaguely, you can see through this Stone Monkey Rune a towering Stone Monkey figure plucking a few hairs from his head and gently blowing on them, turning into thousands of clones.

This is the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, representing the ultimate in clones. Lin Changqing and the Fourth Prince were also very excited when they saw this Stone Monkey Rune.

After another stick of incense's time, the stone monkey deity waved his hand, and you and the Fourth Prince both felt a burst of black light engulf you. Then, your eyes lit up, and you two regained consciousness, discovering that you had arrived at a stone arena. This stone arena was incredibly large, appearing to have a range of three thousand zhang. At the same time, the voice of the stone monkey deity echoed above the stone arena. The stone monkey deity told you two to determine the victory here. Whoever wins can leave the arena and obtain the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art.

"Lin Changqing, this is the final duel between you and me. Between you and me, whoever wins will get the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art. This duel will also determine the number one person in the world in the next era."

On the stone arena, the Fourth Prince and Lin Changqing faced each other from afar. The Fourth Prince's words carried a hint of emotion. He couldn't lose this battle. This was already his greatest opportunity to win against Lin Changqing. The Lin Changqing opposite him had already sealed half of his spiritual power and lowered his realm by four minor levels. If he still couldn't win like this, the Fourth Prince really didn't know what method to use to fight against Lin Changqing in the future. That's why the Fourth Prince said this was the final duel.

Because if he were to lose this one, the Fourth Prince would really have no hope of winning against Lin Changqing.

"Then let's begin our duel and bring this Starry Sky Ancient Road to a perfect end," Lin Changqing said slowly. He had a feeling of being about to be relieved of a heavy burden.

A few days ago, when he embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, he was just a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. The Fourth Prince was unattainable to him.

But unexpectedly, in just a few days, he met Princess Chu and, through various encounters, his strength rose continuously, reaching the tenth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, just one step away from the Transformation God Stage. The road that other cultivators would take hundreds of years to walk, he completed in just a few days.

Now, only the last step remains. As long as he wins against the Fourth Prince and obtains the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, Lin Changqing's trip to the Bronze Ancient Road can be said to have come to a perfect end.

The duel between you and the Fourth Prince began. He used the Great Sun Golden Crow Body, and you also used the Immortal King Body. From the very beginning of your duel, it was incredibly fierce.
