Chapter 362 - 351 Battle Against Two Emperors
The loud cry from Ling Weiyang immediately awakened all those present, especially the people from Myriad Demons Country, who had all dodged in the direction opposite the Netherworld Alliance Army when Sun Wukong used the Mountain of World Suppression. Now with Ling Weiyang’s shout, everyone once again charged towards the Netherworld Alliance Army. Seeing the momentum of the people from Myriad Demons Country even stronger than before, before Sun Wukong could speak, Zhibei suddenly said, "Ling Weiyang, leave him to me. You all go deal with the others."
As Zhibei’s words came out, everyone was stunned, thinking they had heard wrong, but seeing Zhibei’s determined gaze, they knew he wasn’t joking. But, could he really do it? Earlier, it was only by joining forces with five people that they could match Ling Weiyang, whose body was emitting a red light with extremely strong defensive power, blocking all of their attacks.
Now Zhibei intended to face Ling Weiyang alone... Due to Zhibei’s status as a Divine Oracle, people didn’t voice their queries, but Yi Xuan, Zhibei’s sister, was the one to speak, "Brother, are you planning to..." Before Yi Xuan could finish, Zhibei interrupted her. Smiling, he said, "Don’t worry; I might not be able to kill him, but holding him off is entirely possible. You concentrate your strength on dealing with the others. Remember, our goal this time is to kill as many enemies as possible."
After speaking, Zhibei glanced at the Mountain of World Suppression that was completely nailed into the ground and said to Sun Wukong, "Bai Zhaoju, I’ll entrust this to you!" As soon as his words fell, the ground where the Mountain of World Suppression had been nailed began to crack, though the fissure wasn’t large, only about two to three meters wide. Then, a fiery red silhouette slowly floated up from within the fissure. When the red silhouette hovered at the same height as Ling Weiyang, a somewhat lazy voice came through, "Can’t you let me be lazy for a bit? I really regret it now. If I’d known it’d be such a hassle, I would have kept sleeping in my lair!"
Then, the mass of red light began to flicker and the portion at the top shimmered a few times before shattering. The appearance was exactly the same as when the red light shattered in front of Ling Weiyang earlier. After the shattered red light dissipated, Bai Zhaoju again said, "I’ve lost a piece too. Ah, what a loss!" With Bai Zhaoju’s words, Ling Weiyang and the red light on him dimmed and then vanished.
When the red light disappeared, Sun Wukong and the others were all instantly startled, their eyes wide with disbelief. Because when the red light vanished, they suddenly saw the World Suppressing Steles, and not just one. Most shocking of all, was Bai Zhaoju.
Previously, when clashing with Sun Wukong, Bai Zhaoju had used four red lights to defend against Sun Wukong’s Seal Heavenly Spatial Chains, and had summoned another red light to block the Mountain of World Suppression. But now it seemed that the red lights, enveloping or emitting a rich red glow, were actually World Suppressing Steles?

But how could there be so many World Suppressing Steles appearing at once? At the moment, there were as many as four around Bai Zhaoju. However, Sun Wukong then spoke up, "Those aren’t the World Suppressing Steles, or at least not the real ones, they should only be imitations." Sun Wukong, who possessed the third World Suppressing Stele from the Wasteland Soil, was arguably the most knowledgeable about them among those present, thus he had the greatest authority to speak.
At that moment, everyone also came to their senses amid their shock. The World Suppressing Steles weren’t cabbages on the side of the road. While the long-missing Ultimate Water number eight and Burning Fire number nine might have been acquired by someone for some reason and brought into the Patrolling Celestial World, that might be acceptable. But those red World Suppressing Steles were clearly the Demon Transcending number six of Myriad Demons Country. Of course, it wasn’t that the Myriad Demon King of the Hidden Realm couldn’t allow his subordinates to carry the World Suppressing Steles, but there couldn’t possibly be as many as four at once.
Not to mention two had just shattered. Could the World Suppressing Steles shatter? Was that possible? So there was only one possibility, these World Suppressing Steles were all fakes. Coupled with Sun Wukong’s judgment, everyone understood. But they were still shocked by the means of Myriad Demons Country, to forge World Suppressing Steles was no trivial matter.
In fact, the guesses of Sun Wukong and the others were quite accurate, there couldn’t be so many World Suppressing Steles, and what Ling Weiyang and Bai Zhaoju used were indeed imitations, which are called Shadow Steles. In the Six Kingdoms War before, the fake Yao Wumeng had also used a Shadow Stele, and had even summoned a Doppelganger of the Ancestor Demon through it. But at that time, since no one possessed the World Suppressing Steles and the fake Yao Wumeng only brought out one, and the Shadow Steles looked and felt exactly like the real ones, that is why no one realized it immediately at the time.
Myriad Demons Country possessed a total of fifty Shadow Steles, which were all their savings over hundreds of thousands of years. Each of the Five Emperors had five Shadow Steles and the remaining Four Spirit Beasts each also had five. The remaining five, the impostor Yao Wumeng had used one, which ultimately shattered, and the rest of the four were all with Yao Wumeng. Actually, Yao Wumeng originally had five, and the fifth Shadow Stele was that of the impostor Yao Wumeng.
While the Shadow Steles are imitations, they still possess mighty power; otherwise, a Domain Lord Level powerhouse like Ling Weiyang wouldn’t have shown a regretful expression after shattering one of the Steles. Moreover, the Shadow Steles can exhibit different Divine Skills depending on the different needs of the users.
For instance, during the Six Kingdoms War, the counterfeit Yao Wumeng used a Shadow Stele that had only one Divine Skill, which was to summon Ancestor Demon Doppelgangers. As for Bai Zhaoju and Ling Weiyang, who each owned five Shadow Steles, their steles were more focused on defense—especially Bai Zhaoju’s, which all possessed powerful defensive power. Of Weiyang’s five steles, three were for defense, another could summon Ancestor Demon Doppelgangers, and the last one granted the user a chance for Evolution. It could be said that this final stele was even more precious than the others.
Previously, when Bai Zhaoju fought with Sunuke, he defended himself using the five Shadow Steles. Weiyang, on the other hand, was more peculiar; he could integrate the steles into his body to obtain an even stronger defense. However, Sun Wukong’s attacks still astonished them both, destroying two steles with two strikes. But now, if they were to face Sun Wukong again, both of them were still full of confidence.
"Sun Wukong," Bai Zhaoju said, though Ling Weiyang’s efforts to woo you have failed—I heard everything—you should consider our offer to join the Myriad Demons Country. With your strength, you could easily hold a position second only to one, above, tens of thousands. Besides, the power of Myriad Demons Country has only just begun to show the tip of the iceberg."
This time, Sun Wukong did not reject the offer immediately but asked with a hint of curiosity, "Oh? Then, I’d like to know what kind of position or power I could obtain." Seeing his interest, Bai Zhaoju’s eyes lit up, sensing an opportunity as he replied hastily, "At the very least, you could hold a position similar to the Five Demon Gods, giving you dominion over a region. How about that?" Sun Wukong just shook his head, "I have Flower Fruit Mountain, that’s enough for me. I don’t need to rule over anything else."
Bai Zhaoju didn’t mind and pressed on, "Then what kind of position do you want? Name it, and we can make it happen for you." This time, Sun Wukong suddenly smiled, casually assuming a stepping stance, "I want to be the Domain Lord of Myriad Demons Country, can you fulfill that too? Hahaha!" As he spoke, Sun Wukong’s figure flashed instantly. Zhibei also shouted, "Strike now, go all out!"
Bai Zhaoju, who had been rather pleased, stiffened as a violent aura emitted from him. He could tell Sun Wukong was mocking him. If he couldn’t be used, then he had to be eliminated. At the same time, Weiyang also gave a sudden command. The second round of battle kicked off once more. This time, both sides truly seemed evenly matched, but with the addition of Sun Wukong and the real He Tu, the advantage now lay with the Huangquan Alliance.
After calling out to attack, Zhibei’s ordinarily gentle face suddenly transformed, a solemn and chilling aura emanating from him. As his right hand rapidly tapped his heart, Zhibei’s entire body began to radiate a mysterious glow, and a variety of strange symbols appeared around him out of thin air. At the same time, a white cape appeared behind him.
With a subtle shift in his stance, Zhibei vanished from the spot, reappearing before Weiyang. When he did, Zhibei’s left hand bore an exquisite turtle shell, and though his right hand was seemingly empty, the back of it had a pattern resembling the Bagua. At that moment, Zhibei finally revealed his true might.
A Divine Oracle is said to wield words that follow laws, but at this state, the words remained unsaid while the laws were already present. When Zhibei suddenly appeared in this state, Weiyang was startled; he had been about to teleport towards where Zhibei had been, near Bai Zhaoju’s direction.
As both being among the Five Emperors, White Emperor Bai Zhaoju and Green Emperor Ling Weiyang, when united, could unleash combat power far beyond the sum of their individual strengths. Was this a coincidence? Or perhaps not?
Then, Weiyang turned his wrist over in an attempt to conjure his weapon, but his action was cut short, as his wrist was already caught by Zhibei.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Zhaoju was squaring off with Sun Wukong, who stood with the Jingu Bang in his right hand and the Wasteland Soil Stele in his left, a smile on his face. Around Bai Zhaoju, four Shadow Steles spun, and behind him, three weapons floated in the air: the Great Nine Luminaries Sword, the Golden Light Divine Mirror, and the Tao Xun Pan Flute.@@novelbin@@
