Chapter 857 - Chapter 755: Counterattack

At this moment, however, the Pioneer did not immediately appear. And now the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse, with Ling Weiyang in a very disadvantageous position. Although he had mastered the Power of the Stars, he had not yet had a chance to wield it before two-thirds of it had been taken by the Pioneer. Moreover, the Pioneer was hidden while he was exposed, making his situation even more precarious. All of this was a trap set by the Pioneer. Originally, the Pioneer planned to resurrect using the Dragon Emperor's body and then erase Sun Wukong's consciousness for his reincarnation. However, the Dragon Emperor was sealed by Tang Sanzang, causing him to lose the resurrection vessel. Thus, he had no choice but to use his backup option, the body of the Underworld Venerate, for his resurrection.
