In Heaven's Prison, Marshal Silver sat with his hair in wild disarray, staring dazedly at the iron window that no longer admitted a single ray of light.
A jailer hurried past the iron bars, while General Curtin on the other side called out anxiously, "What's happened? Why has the sunlight vanished?"
The jailer stopped, turned back with a bewildered look and said, "I... I'm not really sure. I heard the demon Monkey from Blossom Mountain killed the Sun Crow..."
"The demon Monkey killed the Sun Crow..." General Curtin blinked dumbly, staggered, and collapsed to the ground. "How is that possible? What were the great powers doing? How could they let him kill the Sun Crow? Was there no one to stop him?"
The jailer swallowed hard and whispered, "I can't say for sure... I heard that demon Monkey has already charged Cloudrealm Sky Harbor alone. He's at peak Great Luo Immortal strength—no one can stop him. Cloudrealm Sky Harbor will likely be utterly destroyed."
Marshal Silver lowered his head and slowly started to laugh, his fists clenched so tightly they crackled, his whole body trembling.
Both men present turned to look at him in terror.
...
At this moment, all of Cloudrealm Sky Harbor was being played with like a sandpile—the sand and stones were mixed with blood and broken bodies.
In the firelight, that ferocious face was twisted in a constant, maniacal grin; bloodshot eyes searched the ruins ceaselessly, every movement provoking waves of agonized screams.
A celestial general tried to escape by leaping into the air, but Monkey snatched him up, and before he could even scream, he was crushed into pulp and flung back into the 'sandpile.'
Watching that mad Monkey, who had transformed into a giant hundreds of zhang tall, sometimes roaring, sometimes weeping in the flames, General Lee's eye twitched uncontrollably.
Giant Spirit God swallowed nervously and asked in a trembling voice, "What do we do now?"
"Notify Cloudwatch Harbor to evacuate immediately. We're retreating to the fleet. If it's just him alone, we can still contain it. The real fear is the demon army from Blossom Mountain..."
Before he finished speaking, a massive black shadow whipped past General Lee, instantly sending several celestial generals flying.
All the generals retreated in panic and confusion.
Looking closely, they saw an enormous tail slowly unfurling before their eyes.
General Lee was stunned.
From afar, he saw Monkey turn his colossal head, glance back at him, eyes full of provocation.
Shivering slightly, he breathed out a cloud of mist and began to laugh hoarsely.
