Battle Against Heaven and Earth, Spiritual Treasures Display Their Might

Journey to the West World.

Xuan Yin, Wu Zhiqi, Sun Wukong, and Yuan Hong gathered at Water Curtain Cave. After consuming and refining the Peaches of Immortality, they divided the treasures obtained from Laojun, two apiece. Most of the golden elixirs were bestowed upon the demon kings below.

Thanks to Wu Zhiqi's reputation, seventy percent of the notable Demon Clan in this world, aside from the mounts of Immortals and Gods, had joined the Huai River Water Mansion.

Now that the four brothers intended to fight the Heavenly Court, Wu Zhiqi naturally did not hold back. He summoned all the demon kings under his command to Flower-Fruit Mountain, then personally went to the East Sea Dragon Palace. Using the prestige of an ancient demon god, he forcibly subdued the East Sea Dragon King and the many aquatic tribes, taking control of the East Sea's Water Veins!

The East Sea Dragon King could only ascend to Heaven and lodge a complaint.

"Your Majesty, you must seek justice for this old minister and the billions of aquatic beings in the East Sea!"

Within Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang, was recounting Wu Zhiqi's crimes to the Jade Emperor, while the Dragon Kings of the other three seas added fuel to the flames nearby.

The Four Seas Dragon Race had always shared honor and disgrace, advancing and retreating together. Moreover, Wu Zhiqi had used the name of the Water Official Great Emperor to force the Dragon Race to surrender many waterways throughout the Four Great Continents.

Only the West Sea Dragon King, backed by the Buddhist Sect, had suffered virtually no losses.

"Outrageous!"

The Jade Emperor was also furious. He had granted Wu Zhiqi the title of Water Official Great Emperor to check the Dragon Race, not to uproot the Four Seas Dragon Race entirely.

Yet the situation had clearly gone beyond his original calculations.

At the same time, the Seven Fairies responsible for picking the Peaches of Immortality came to report that Sun Wukong, together with the Four Wastes Star Lord Yuan Hong, the Water Official Great Emperor Wu Zhiqi, and an unfamiliar monkey with six ears, had thoroughly plundered the Heavenly Court's Peach Garden!

The Jade Emperor could not help frowning. "Disasters never come singly, and blessings never arrive twice!"

But that was not even the worst news!

Moments later, Taishang Laojun arrived and revealed that Tushita Palace had been plundered, throwing the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court into complete panic.

For most of the Immortals and Gods present, immortal elixirs and Peaches of Immortality were cultivation resources. Sun Wukong and the others had looted them clean, which was equivalent to harming their future interests.

How could they not be enraged?

Yet Sun Wukong alone was already so difficult to handle. Now there was Wu Zhiqi, Yuan Hong, and a Six-Eared Macaque who had appeared from nowhere. How could they possibly capture them?

They could only look eagerly toward the Jade Emperor, hoping he would come up with an idea.

Seeing this, the Jade Emperor sighed softly. "Where is Ziwei Great Emperor? Wu Zhiqi falls under his jurisdiction. Now that he has joined forces with the Four Wastes Star Lord, Sun Wukong, and the Six-Eared Macaque to cause such a calamity, he commands the stars and governs the gods. Naturally, he should bear responsibility and capture these rebels of the Heavenly Court!"

"This..."

Taibai Jinxing did not know how to respond.

He knew the Jade Emperor wanted to throw the problem to Ziwei Great Emperor. But not long ago, he had personally watched Ziwei Great Emperor, Taiyi the Rescuer Heavenly Venerate, and the others leave the Heavenly Court at the invitation of Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi. He had no idea where they had gone.

Nor did he know when these pillars of the Heavenly Court would return.

Sending Li Jing, Nezha, or the Four Heavenly Kings against Wu Zhiqi would be useless. Only several of the Heavenly Court's top great gods could secure victory.

But in the current situation, Taibai Jinxing could only tell the truth.

Guanyin could not help frowning at this.

She had been invited to the Peach Festival and had intended to discuss Sun Wukong with the Jade Emperor. Yet Sun Wukong had now caused such a disaster and even joined forces with Wu Zhiqi. This had completely strayed from the heavenly design!

Furthermore, several great gods of the Heavenly Court just happened to be absent at this moment. She deeply suspected that the gods before her were joining forces to put on an act for her.

But she had no proof!

Still, she could only force herself to say, "This Humble Monk is willing to lend the Great Heavenly Venerate a hand! Furthermore, the Illustrious Sage Erlang of Guanjiangkou possesses exceptional abilities. He should be able to suppress Sun Wukong!"

As for Yuan Hong and the suddenly appearing Six-Eared Macaque, neither had been renowned before, so she did not take their strength seriously.

"Good!"

The Jade Emperor hurriedly nodded.

He then sent Taibai Jinxing to Guanjiangkou to invite Erlang Shen, while ordering Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing to lead his heavenly soldiers and generals into the lower realm.

The Four Heavenly Kings, Six Ding and Six Jia, Nine Luminaries Star Lords, Twelve Ecliptic Longitudes, Twenty-Eight Mansions... even the Heavenly Court's five hundred spirit officials mobilized in full force!

"I, Old Sun, will go meet them!"

Watching the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court descend, Sun Wukong showed no fear. He was even eager to fight, his battle intent vast enough to swallow mountains and rivers as it surged straight into the Nine Heavens.

"No rush!"

Xuan Yin smiled. "That little strength is not enough to help us shatter this world's falsehood. It would be best if they invited Buddha Tathagata!"

During this period, he had not continued cultivating, instead studying formations. Since the Twelve Ancestral Witches could use the Twelve Divine Fiend Great Formation to summon the Pangu True Body, then the Four Mixed Monkeys, who carried the bloodline of the Chaos Demon Ape, ought to be able to summon the Demon Ape True Body as well.

The many Water Veins Wu Zhiqi had refined, along with the Three Origins, Ten Directions, All-Returning Formation he had laid down, could at most make the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court wary. They could not make them retreat outright.

Moreover, Xuan Yin's plan was to borrow the strength of this world's many Immortals and Gods to shatter the falsehood. Naturally, the more top great gods who came, the better.

"Let Bull Demon King and the others go!"

Wu Zhiqi nodded. "The Four Heavenly Kings, the Nine Luminaries Star Lords, and the rest are too weak. They are not qualified to make the few of us act!"

Bull Demon King and the others were thrilled upon hearing this. They did not know Xuan Yin and the others' purpose, only believing that Wu Zhiqi thought highly of them.

If they could defeat the Heavenly Court today, the many demon kings here might form a top-tier force that was no weaker than the Heavenly Court or the Buddhist Sect.

Rumble!

The battle erupted at once. The Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court cherished their lives, while the demon kings present were unruly and defiant. Each wanted to perform well before Wu Zhiqi. For a time, they suppressed the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court. Had Yang Jian not been holding the line for the Heavenly Court's side, they likely would have suffered a crushing defeat long ago!

Countless divine abilities thundered through the sky above Flower-Fruit Mountain, while one Magic Treasure after another unleashed boundless divine might among the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court and the demon kings.

Seeing this, Li Jing could no longer maintain his composure and immediately invited Guanyin Bodhisattva to act.

"Excellent! Excellent!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva wore an expression of boundless compassion. With a wave of her Willow Branch, she shattered endless space. None of the demon kings dared approach within three feet of her.

She came before the formation and said to Wu Zhiqi, "Fellow Daoist Wu Zhiqi, since you have submitted to the Heavenly Court, why have you now committed such evil deeds? Why not repent in time, lay down your butcher's knife, and take refuge in my Buddha? If you do, This Humble Monk may yet plead for mercy before the Great Heavenly Venerate on behalf of you and these fellow Daoists!"

"Enough nonsense!"

Wu Zhiqi sneered and charged directly at Guanyin. He knew that the Water Origin Great Dao he cultivated was restrained by the Jade Bottle in her hand.

But as an ancient demon sage, he had feared Guanyin before obtaining the inheritance of the Chaos Demon Ape. If he still feared her now, would he not have gained that inheritance for nothing?

"Would I avoid your edge?"

This time, Wu Zhiqi did not circulate the Water Origin Great Dao. Instead, he used the Fighting Saint Method. Endless battle intent accompanied tens of thousands of staff shadows as they struck out at once, and even Guanyin did not dare underestimate that terrifying power.

Meanwhile, Xuan Yin hid in the shadows. While Guanyin Bodhisattva was activating the Magic Treasure in her hand, he brought out the Vajra Ring he had obtained from Laojun.

"Take them!"

An incomparable force erupted from the Vajra Ring. In the blink of an eye, it swept away the Magic Treasures of Guanyin and many Immortals and Gods.
