In the depths of the mystical lake, the battleground between Sun Wukong and the evolving serpent was obscured by a sudden mist, creating an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere.
"What?! Where did he go?!" The serpent was taken aback as he couldn't sense Wukong.
The serpent, disoriented by Sun Wukong's disappearance, lashed out randomly, attempting to strike an unseen foe.
*Bang!*
*Boom!*
Amidst the mist, a golden glow emanated, and something pierced the serpent's head with lethal precision.
With a shudder, the spirit beast succumbed to its demise.
'How did...' were its last thoughts.
As the mist cleared, Sun Wukong stood atop the serpent's lifeless form, muttering an ancient technique, "Heavenly Sage Eyes: Myriad Illusions."
His eyes turned a bright golden colour with a blue runic symbol on it.
This was one of his abilities that he awakened on his recent journey here.
