Primordial World had Three Realms, “Heaven, Earth, and Man.” Impure qi sank to become “Earth Realm,” pure qi ascended to become “Heaven Realm,” and the mixture of pure and impure in the center composed the Man Realm.
The Three Realms were clearly demarcated, with Heaven being the highest.
In addition, Heaven had thirty-three levels.
Primordial World had a saying: Thirty-three Devas, the Deva Of Partings And Regret was the highest; of the four hundred forty illnesses, lovesickness is the most agonizing.
The Thirty-three Devas’ highest level, the Deva Of Partings And Regret, was also known as the Xuandu Deva.1 It was shrouded in immortal qi and was filled with beautiful mountains and unique scenery, flowing waterfalls and springs that were like pearls. Although it was known as a Deva, pure qi concentrated here, and every landscape was formed from the essence of worldly spirit qi. It was not as unapproachable as Heaven, nor was it as overbearing. The entire Xuandu Deva was full of a leisurely atmosphere, where one could stroll freely, pick flowers, and compose completely carefree.
The Tushita Palace2 was situated at the top of the Xuandu Heavenly Mountains, and it was also this place’s sole temple.
Red clouds enveloped the Tushita Palace like a brocade, making the entire palace appear mysterious and solemn.
A woman practiced sword drills in front of the Tushita Palace. The sword-light was being trained, yet it was like extremely pure Yang, surpassing even the sun.
The woman had a heroic brow and sharp eyes. Her figure was slender, and she wore simple and elegant white clothes, exuding a heroic spirit. Her swordsmanship was like the sun, each swing radiating the energy of pure Yang. A woman who was able to practice the sword in front of the Tushita Palace clearly was extraordinary. A short while later, the gate of the Tushita Palace suddenly opened.
The woman immediately ceased her drill and reverently said: “Teacher.”
The person’s voice came before the person herself.
“The Great Sage Equal Of Heaven has finally been born, and she has obtained the Ruyi Jingu Bang. This Teacher cannot take action easily. Qingxuan,3 go check the situation.”
“The Great Sage Equal Of Heaven. That monkey still awakened, in the end. But that staff…” Feeling that her words were a bit unbecoming, the woman fake coughed and seriously said: “The Ruyi Jingu Bang was sealed in the Eastern Sea Crystal Palace by Teacher. Could Sun Wukong possess such formidable skills that she would be able to sever karma.”
“This Teacher has other matters to attend to.”
“Qingxuan obeys.”
The woman grunted and became a clear-light that departed the Deva Of Partings And Regret.
Only a long while after did the Tushita Palace’s gates slowly close, yet the red clouds enshrouding the Tushita Palace suddenly receded.
Meanwhile, Eastern Sea Crystal Palace.
“Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong!!”
Qi Qi hovered over the Crystal Palace. She wore a purple crown and golden armor, a fluttering cloak, and her whole body radiated golden light that covered the Eastern Sea Crystal Palace. In her hand was an iron staff, the center of which was subtly decorated with stars while the ends were covered with gold plating. The intricate patterns covering the staff were intimidating, including dragons and phoenixes. This staff was one with Qi Qi, completely flawless. If the previous Qi Qi was menacing and fierce, then after refining the Destined Divine Weapon Ruyi Jingu Bang, she was like an all-powerful god of war, domineering.
Every movement was full of peerless divine might.
High Ancient Divine Realm!!
Qi Qi stared at the Crystal Palace as she gripped the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Everyone stopped fighting under Qi Qi’s power.
“So this is that legendary Great Sage Equal Of Heaven. Oh, how pretty, she is just as mighty as Master said she would be.” Little Nezha’s eyes sparkled as if she had met her idol, so happy and excited was she that she completely forgot about her own injuries.
Seeing that the Ruyi Jingu Bang had been refined, Yu The Great faintly sighed and took a few steps back.
“Sun Wukong, so what if you obtained the Ruyi Jingu Bang. My Blood Transformation Divine Blade can dissolve your Spirit Stone Divine Womb all the same.” Yu Yuan sneered and raised her blade, slashing at Qi Qi.
Qi Qi’s figure moved.
Swift as a shooting star, everyone only felt their eyes dazzled. Golden light had already descended before Water Mansion God Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan gasped. The Ruyi Jingu Bang hurtled towards her. She used the Blood Transformation Divine Blade to block, but she was surprisingly repelled a hundred meters, tumbling in a sorry manner.
“Big Brother, thank you for your troubles.” Qi Qi glanced at Qi Lin, her eyes lacking evil qi but with a domineering arrogance instead.
“Qi Qi, be careful, you aren’t a good match against Yu Yuan and the Blood Transformation Divine Blade.” Qi Lin exhorted. He was already without the strength to help her. Although he was not sure why Qi Qi was able to refine the Ruyi Jingu Bang so quickly, they could finally face Yu Yuan.
“The Blood Transformation Divine Blade. Yu Yuan, you hurt my big brother, so I will be taking that as Big Brother’s compensation.” Qi Qi twirled the staff.
“I will take your lives first.” Yu Yuan flew into a rage. She circulated her Divine Energy, and blood-light covered her whole body. Yu Yuan swung her sword, and that bloody blade-light formed myriad sinister demonic faces as it pounced over.
Qi Qi did not yield to it. She arrogantly stared back and allowed the blade-light to strike her.
The Blood Transformation Divine Blade’s blade-light contained a toxin able to dissolve the soul and essence-blood. Even the Eastern Sea Dragon King was somewhat afraid, but Qi Qi was completely fearless, having already reached High Ancient Divine Realm. The Blood Transformation Divine Blade’s blade-light cut into iron plates, making clanging noises, yet the golden chainmail was impregnable.
“How is this possible.”
Yu Yuan did not expect the Blood Transformation Divine Blade to be ineffective. Her sword was capable of breaching Vajra Indestructibility; could it be that this monkey was at an even higher level than Vajra Indestructibility.
“Hmph.”
Qi Qi’s cloud shoes stomped as she brandished the golden staff.
The gorgeous divine staff was swung with earth-shattering might. Yu Yuan used the blade to block, and the resulting clash between the weapons immediately produced a terrific noise. The blood fog around Yu Yuan’s whole body slowly dissipated under the Ruyi Jingu Bang’s blinding golden light.
Qi Qi swung the staff repeatedly, producing dazzling staff-shadows, striking Yu Yuan until she was seeing stars. Although she also possessed the impervious body of High Ancient Divine Realm, the Ruyi Jingu Bang was much more powerful than she had imagined. Each blow seemed to be on the verge of shattering her bones, causing her whole body to spasm from the pain. The protecting blood-qi howled and scattered.
Ever since Yu Yuan birthed her Divine Name, she had continually refined the “Blood Transformation Divine Blade” at Sishui Island, refining many Divine Names and an unknown number of God Transformation cultivators. The blade was filled with malice, and the blood-light could cover the underworld’s sea of blood. She thought that it could rival an Earlier Heaven magic treasure, but she did not expect the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven’s Ruyi Jingu Bang to be so powerful. With just a few hundred exchanges, she was already a bit spent.
“Dammit.”
Yu Yuan strained to wield her Divine Energy, gathering the blood-shadows on her body.
The blade-light rolled, transforming into a sinister, monstrous shadow. This shadow unfurled a giant curtain of blood and instantly enveloped the Dragon Palace.
Everyone suddenly felt terrified seeing the blood-curtain.
Qi Qi rushed straight in, wielding the golden staff with brute force. The divine rod unleashed myriad rays of light that rampaged through the bloody curtain. “Blood Transformation Divine Blade, blood-light thunderclap.” Yu Yuan chanted and used her Destiny. As if on a horse, she charged towards Qi Qi. This thunderclap flit by, its power unrivaled. Each slash of that blood-blade surprisingly emitted thunder-like booms, as if lightning struck from the heavens.
This thunder could shake apart even a cultivator’s Primordial Spirit.
Against this heaven-shattering attack, Qi Qi still did not shy away. Rather, she immediately drew the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and attacked the woman’s back. This blow was also heaven-shattering, and tens of thousands of golden rays descended like the sun.
“How majestic, she is truly the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, the one who dared to wreak havoc in the Primal Chaos Heavenly Court back then. Although Yu Yuan is High Ancient Diving Realm, this Ruyi Jingu Bang and Sun Wukong are one, a union of Destiny. Seems I will be unable to seize it.” Yu The Great sighed.
To the side, Nezha gawked. She clapped and cheered, wishing she could lend all the support she could.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang ripped apart the blood-light and thunder. Yu Yuan then defended using Blood Transformation Divine Blade several more times. If not for the weapon being a first-rate magic treasure, it would long have already been destroyed Qi Qi’s divine might.
Having just refined her Destiny and obtained the power of karma, it could be said that Qi Qi was at a peak right now. Naturally, every one of her blows had power that could crush antiquity.
“Blood-light calamity, kill.”
At this instant, Yu Yuan moved once again. The blood-patterned blade shook, and it fiercely shot forth, releasing a long arc of light that sliced through the air and formed a bloody rainbow.
Blade and staff collided, producing metallic clangs that shook heaven and earth. Even the fishermen far away on the surface of the Eastern Sea felt rocked by heaven-flooding waves.
Qi Qi sent the Blood Transformation Divine Blade flying with a blow from her staff, though the blade-light finally cut open a wound on her hand.
Seeing that she had finally inflicted a wound after all this effort, Yu Yuan could not help but be jubilant. As long as she was wounded by the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, any Divine Name would be affected by the blade’s toxin, which would slowly nibble away at her Divine Energy. In time, she would inevitably prove no match for Yu Yuan. But Yu Yuan’s joy was short-lived. She immediately noticed that Qi Qi was unfazed and as impassive as a mountain, as if that wound on her arm did not exist.
“If this is all you are capable of, then This Old Sun should send you packing.” Qi Qi’s golden light began to burn brighter. Countless rays of light floated across the seafloor from all directions, gathering towards her particles.
“It seems I underestimated you, monkey. I will not be able to kill you unless I use Chaos Rank.” Yu Yuan frowned. Given her Divine Energy, activating Chaos Rank was too costly; that was practically a desperate gamble, the same as the Eastern Sea Dragon King’s. If this failed, she would die.
Yu Yuan raised the Blood Transformation Divine Blade towards the sky and chanted.
The blood-lights scattered all over by the Ruyi Jingu Bang also coalesced upon the blade. Countless Divine Energy particles of light enveloped the entire Crystal Palace like an infinitude of pearls, a spectacular scene.
Every blood-pearl was imbued with the intent to kill.
The millions of pearls surprisingly transformed the vast Eastern Sea into hell’s sea of blood.
“Chaos Rank – Blood Sea Droplet!”
Yu Yuan shouted, her voice hoarse and haunting. Then, she swung the Blood Transformation Divine Blade at Qi Qi, and the blood pearls floating over the seafloor immediately moved, too. These blood pearls rolled like a torrential downpour.
Qi Qi bared her fangs and gripped her staff with both hands. Her cloak flapped like a banner in the wind. The girl charged with all her might, gathering all the golden light onto her body. Girl and Ruyi Jingu Bang both became blinding light at the same time.
This light pierced through space, time, the void, and even history, as if to shatter Heaven itself.
Astonishingly, this was also Chaos Rank Divine Energy.
The two immense energies slammed into each other. A bloody whirlwind clashed relentlessly against the staff that attacked antiquity. One was a sea of blood and evil qi, the other domineering golden light. In an instant, the Crystal palace was completely demolished, ts countless halls uprooted. Under the two Chaos Rank Divine Energies, everything was disintegrated.
Countless Waterkin unable to escape in time were immediately preyed upon by the blood-light or reduced to meat paste by the golden light.
The Eastern Sea Dragon King fled with her officers into the Crystal Palace.
“Let us go in, too.”
Yu The Great shouted. She used her Divine Energy to bring Qi Lin, Nezha, and Changxi into the Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace was the main hall of the Dragon Palace and was the true ocean-protecting magic treasure of the Eastern Sea, such that even Chaos Rank Divine Energy could scarcely scratch it. Due to the Eastern Sea Dragon King being very weakened at the moment, she could not stop them even if she wanted to. She could only watch as Qi Lin entered the Crystal Palace.
“You allowed the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven to obtain the Ruyi Jingu Bang and have brought a scourge upon Primordial World. You will surely regret this.” Ao Guang hatefully said.
“Wrong.” Qi Lin said.
“What.”
“To be able to see this scene, I would have no regrets, even if I die.”
From their contract, Qi Lin was able to sense Qi Qi’s deep satisfaction. That was the tyrant who was the equal of Heaven. That was the pride and arrogance of her Destiny.
Nothing could please Qi Lin more than this.
“Are you not afraid that Yu Yuan will kill her?” Yu The Great asked.
Afterwards.
The shattered remains of the billions of blood pearls answered her.
Life and death was revealed without suspense.

I don’t why everyone else is worried…. Like, Sun Wukong isn’t called ‘The Great Sage Equal of Heaven’ for show. And Yu Yuan isn’t starting fresh either.
Even if she is powerful, that Blood Transformation Divine Blade is nothing to scoff at either. It’s critically wounded the Eastern Sea Dragon King and reduced legions to puddles of blood.
