409: Fifty percent of the Primordial Unity Vajra Indestructible Body!

"Of course I'll eat! It's been five hundred years, sealed in that dog hole for five hundred years, Old Sun hasn't even eaten a single hair's worth of food." Monkey King ate the banana with great satisfaction.

"Kid, what do you call yourself? You're worth Old Sun remembering your name!"

"Lu Jiuyuan!"

"When I first came out, why did you say that bald guy was a powerhouse? He clearly wasn't, he was just a Mortal!"

"I won't answer that question yet. When I feel like talking about it, I will. Right now, the most important thing is to eat!"

"Fine, then let's eat!"

The two of them sat in the valley, one gnawing on a bun, the other eating bananas and sugarcane. The scene was surprisingly harmonious; one couldn't tell at all that they had just been fighting a life-or-death battle.

After eating and drinking their fill, Lu Jiuyuan clapped his hands and stood up: "Alright, Demon King, shall we continue?"

Monkey King threw away the sugarcane residue in his hand, and his eyes reignited with Battle Intent: "Come!"

The battle between the two resumed, fighting from the ground to the sky, from the sky to the sea, and from the sea back to the mountains.

Whether in the sky or on the ground, the man and the monkey tacitly chose not to enter the water.

In the days that followed, this pattern of "fighting for three or four hours - taking a break to eat - continuing to fight - going back to sleep after fighting" became the norm.

Lu Jiuyuan appeared punctually every day, ran away after the fight, and returned full of energy the next day.

And Monkey King went from initial annoyance, to later helplessness, and now... to actually being somewhat accustomed to it.

When resting, the two would occasionally chat for a few sentences.

Days passed one by one in this peculiar rhythm.

Within the valley, the roaring sounds rang out punctually every day, like the morning bell and evening drum.

Under Monkey King's storm-like attacks, Lu Jiuyuan's form dissipated and reformed time and time again.

At first, he could only passively take the beating, barely managing to maintain the Seven Nothings Ultimate Realm from being extinguished.

Gradually, at the moment of turning into void, he could perceive the flow of force and the movement of Demonic Qi contained within Monkey King's attacks.

Later on, at the instant of reforming his body, he was able to fine-tune his own structure, allowing his flesh and bones to become tougher and better able to withstand impacts through repeated collapse and Rebirth.

His physical strength, under the pummeling of Monkey King, his "strict teacher," was being pushed to an unprecedentedly exquisite Realm.

He even began to attempt to simulate a certain energy structure of Monkey King's Invincible Vajra body while in a particle-like state.

On this day, the fierce battle was in full swing.

Monkey King waved his six arms, the rod shadows like mountains, completely locking down the space around Lu Jiuyuan.

Lu Jiuyuan's figure flickered, dodging several lethal rod shadows at the very last second, while simultaneously pointing his fingers like a sword, faintly carrying a trace of dark golden luster, suddenly striking at the joint of one of Monkey King's arms!

"Ding!" A soft sound, the sound of metal striking stone.

The movement of that arm of Monkey King actually paused imperceptibly!

Although it was only a momentary pause, two rays of intense light suddenly shot out from Monkey King's Fiery Eyes of Truth!

He suddenly withdrew his rod and retreated, retracting his three-headed, six-armed Divine Ability, staring fixedly at Lu Jiuyuan's fingers, which were intact and not shattered.

"You... imitated Old Sun's Invincible Vajra?" Monkey King's voice carried disbelief.

"Hahahaha!" Lu Jiuyuan threw his head back and laughed: "Hahahaha, in this past month, having been shattered by you thousands of times, I have finally simulated it!"

"Primordial Unified Invincible Vajra Body! Although I haven't grasped it all, I have glimpsed fifty percent! All this time being beaten, it wasn't in vain, hahahaha!"

"Good! A good glimpsed fifty percent!" Monkey King laughed instead of getting angry, his laughter making the valley hum:

"Just by taking beatings, you could steal and learn to this extent! Lu Jiuyuan, Old Sun is starting to appreciate you!"

He carried the golden-hooped rod, pacing around Lu Jiuyuan, his eyes burning: "Unfortunately, this Invincible Vajra of mine is not simply physical toughness. I am a naturally born stone monkey, forged by the power of Flat Peachs and Golden Cores, refined in the Eight-Trigram Furnace; it is favored by the creation of heaven and earth. You cannot learn it!"

"I can't learn the complete one, but learning fifty percent is enough." Lu Jiuyuan chuckled, Monkey King, you don't understand what a cheat is!

The third Golden Finger [Copper Skin and Iron Bones], the defensive strength of bones and skin membranes is tripled!

Right now, except for my muscles, internal organs, and Meridians being a bit weaker than yours, the defense of my bones and skin is already much, much stronger than yours!

How sharp were Monkey King's Fiery Eyes of Truth, he was as cunning as a monkey; his Fiery Eyes of Truth pierced through Lu Jiuyuan's eyes, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This kid... is not right!

It would be rare for ordinary immortals or demons to last a few moves under him, let alone steal his skills.

But this Lu Jiuyuan, not only couldn't be killed, but in just over a month, he had touched the threshold of the Invincible Vajra, and even claimed to have attained fifty percent!

But that strike just now, the sense of the Invincible Vajra contained within it actually made his arm slightly numb. This was definitely not an effect that "fifty percent" could achieve!

This kid was hiding his true strength!

He deliberately showed weakness, pretending he could only barely imitate it, but in reality, his progress far exceeded expectations! He was still looking for an opportunity to covet Old Sun's Somersault Cloud!

Monkey King's thoughts raced. He had been suppressed for five hundred years; although his temperament remained arrogant and irritable, he had become extremely vigilant against schemes.

"Hehehe..." Monkey King suddenly let out two strange laughs and scratched his cheek, "Fine, Lu Jiuyuan, you've got it! To be able to learn to this step, it counts as your ability!"

His tone suddenly changed, becoming listless: "However, Old Sun has been fighting you for so long, and I'm bored! You unkillable piece of chewing gum, it's no fun fighting you! Not playing, not playing anymore!"

Before the words had even faded, his figure swayed, and without any hesitation, he used the Somersault Cloud!

He escaped directly!

His figure instantly blurred in place, he flipped a somersault in the air, as if merging into the folds of space, and with another flash, he disappeared instantly at the edge of Lu Jiuyuan's vision!

That speed was dozens, even hundreds of times faster than what he had shown during the battle earlier.

One somersault, and it was a hundred and eight thousand li!

"Uh?"

The smile on Lu Jiuyuan's face froze, his outstretched hand still hanging in mid-air.

He didn't expect this monkey to be so decisive; the moment he sensed something was slightly off, he ran away immediately, not even leaving behind a harsh word!

"This monkey... is just too cunning!" Lu Jiuyuan looked at the empty sky, feeling both amused and frustrated.
