Great Defeat of Houtu

Houtu was caught off guard, never expecting this monkey to be so cunning.

The Soaring Serpent Longsword in Houtu's hand danced along, but facing the monkey's full-power strike.

She stumbled back several steps, clutching her chest.

Houtu's brow furrowed, somewhat surprised by the monkey's strength.

"This is the Underworld, not a place for you to run wild!"

Hearing this, the monkey couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"You people are always scheming to frame me, I won't let you succeed."

The monkey brandished the Golden Cudgel in his hand, scanning all the Ghost Messengers present.

The Ghost Messengers subconsciously swallowed, taking a step back.

The monkey pointed the Golden Cudgel directly at Houtu.

"My fate is my own to decide, you cannot control me."

With that, he used a Somersault Cloud, leaping directly in front of King Yama.

Without a word, he snatched the Book of Life and Death from his hand and then tore it apart with all his might.

The torn paper scattered directly into the air.

King Yama's hat was knocked askew, and he slumped onto his stool in shock.

The monkey scratched his head, turned, and left the place.

Houtu's expression turned grim. She glanced at King Yama but said nothing.

White Impermanence stepped forward and asked, "Empress Houtu, what do we do?"

Houtu waved her hand and said, "We can't handle this matter."

"We'll see what the Heavenly Court's stance is then. This matter is not entirely up to Sun Wukong."

White Impermanence seemed to ponder this and retreated.

Houtu coughed, a smile appearing at the corner of her lips. Fortunately, things hadn't spiraled completely out of control.

Chen Tong yawned, feeling the vigorous power surging within him, which instantly made him feel much better.

Although the System felt unreliable, it had, after all, brought him extraordinary benefits over these five hundred years.

Thankfully, he didn't have to do those extremely uncomfortable tasks anymore. He had even questioned his own existence before.

Chen Tong felt his Domain had expanded considerably.

He was preparing to go out for a stroll and take a good look at the world's scenery.

"Crack!"

A sharp pain shot through the top of Chen Tong's head, making him want to curse immediately.

What kind of world was this, where people just threw trash around?

Chen Tong thought again and felt something was amiss.

Regardless, his cultivation was at the Heavenly Immortal level, a genuine one.

What could possibly still cause him pain?!

"Who's dropping things from a height? Have you no public decency?"

Chen Tong shouted.

There was no response.

At this moment, he looked down at the ground and found an ancient-looking brush.

Chen Tong's heart skipped a beat. Could this be the Divine Brush?!

Chen Tong's heart rate suddenly quickened. He first examined it carefully for any mechanisms.

He then used his magic power to touch it.

Seeing that there was nothing strange, Chen Tong moved closer.

[Detected one Divine Brush!]

[Divine Brush: A former brush of Ma Liang, capable of painting the heavens and earth, and condensing physical objects.]

[According to the host's current realm, it can manifest physical objects of equivalent realm.]

Chen Tong picked up the brush and weighed it in his hand. He had heard of this mythical story.

The brush's aura was ancient and vast, giving a sense of antiquity.

Holding the brush, Chen Tong casually drew a small cat. The next moment, a lifelike little white cat appeared on the spot.

The little white cat rubbed against Chen Tong's pants, looking very affectionate.

Chen Tong's heart burned with excitement. With enough time, when they arrived, he could directly draw ten White Tigers, all at the Heavenly Immortal level.

Chen Tong already felt that his future was bright.

This cheat-like life is truly extraordinary.

Chen Tong casually took out his diary and began writing today's extensive entry.

[Feeling good today, found a treasure, and thought of that Sun Wukong again, so I'll write a bit more.]

[Speaking of which, after that Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Underworld, the Jade Emperor was furious and dispatched the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li to capture the monkey.]

[If you consider how the two of them fought, if the monkey hadn't been careless, he definitely could have taken down the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li.]

[It's just a shame the monkey probably doesn't know it!]

In the Heavenly Court.

The Jade Emperor slammed his dragon throne, his gaze stern, looking at all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals present.

"The Underworld was disturbed by that Sun Wukong, do you know of this matter?"

The civil and military officials present were silent, not daring to even breathe.

"Why aren't you speaking? Usually, I don't see you like this."

The Heavenly Emperor's voice was extremely cold.

At this moment, Taibai Jinxing, under immense pressure, said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it would be best to let the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li go and capture this monkey."

The Jade Emperor heard this and pondered for a moment before saying, "Where is the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li?"

Li Jing stepped forward and said, "Your subordinate is here!"

"Then this time, you will go and capture Sun Wukong."

Li Jing knelt on one knee and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"

The Jade Emperor added, "And bring ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals with you."

Li Jing, leading ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, set off to find Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong, at this moment, was still enjoying himself in Flower-Fruit Mountain, drinking and reveling with his monkeys.

"Great King, Great King, you say you caused trouble in the Underworld?"

"Of course, what are you doubting about what the Great King says?"

Sun Wukong, drunk, said, "I tore up that book of life and death, and that old man didn't dare to say a word."

"Hahahaha..."

Sun Wukong took another drink.

"Bang!"

Sun Wukong was jolted awake by something hitting him. Just as he was about to jump up, he suddenly realized something.

Sun Wukong saw that it was indeed his benefactor's notebook.

He quickly flipped open the diary and, after reading it, became furious, not expecting these people to be scheming against him again and again.

Sun Wukong then directly grabbed the Golden Cudgel in his hand and stared up at the sky.

At this moment, he was fully alert, not daring to slacken in the slightest.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li, currently in the air, shouted, "Where is the hairy monkey?"

Sun Wukong, with a Somersault Cloud, soared into the air.

"Your Grandpa Sun is here!"

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li frowned and said, "Hairy monkey, how dare you be so arrogant!"

Sun Wukong stared directly at Li Jing and said, "If you want to fight, then fight!"

"No more pointless talk!"

"Today, your Grandpa Sun will ensure you have no return!"

The ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals immediately surrounded Sun Wukong.

"Bold, mischievous monkey."
