Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Although Jiang Liu said he possessed the Feather Demon Blade, the flying speed of the equipment was linked to his own cultivation level, which was only at the Divinity Transformation Realm. Naturally, Jiang Liu's flying speed was no match for Aolie's at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Why would he fly on his own when he could ride atop such an exceptional mount as Aolie? Jiang Liu felt he definitely hadn't had his head slammed in a door.

A dragon's roar resounded, and the White Dragon Horse transformed back into a white dragon, soaring high above the heavens. Jiang Liu sat on the dragon's back, as fast as lightning, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Naturally, after Jiang Liu set off, Sun Wukong and Bajie also took to the skies, following him on either side.

Under the moonlight, they flew swiftly towards Chang'an City, overlooking the landscapes that receded rapidly below them, not at all retracing their steps, which put a smile on Jiang Liu's face.

For beings at least at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, a distance of ten thousand li was not considered far.

After reaching the Immortal Realm, one could soar clouds and command the fog, traveling across the "three mountains" and the "five peaks," and even the "five lakes and four seas" within a single day.

Therefore, with the White Dragon Horse at full speed, the distance of ten thousand li was merely half an hour's time, and they had already crossed it.

From high above, Jiang Liu could already see the situation in Chang'an City and the chaotic battle near the Great Buddha Temple was also clearly visible to him.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu's eyebrows raised slightly. To him, did this mean all the demon creatures from beneath the Great Buddha Temple had surged out? Wasn't this just delivering experience points to him?

...

At the Great Buddha Temple, the Heavenly Master Hall and the monks of the temple joined forces, possessing great strength, but the demon creatures from underground seemed endless. Under this relentless assault, the people from the Heavenly Master Hall and the Great Buddha Temple were completely overwhelmed.

More and more demon creatures were erupting from the Underground Demon Cavern. It seemed only a matter of time before their defenses were torn apart.

"Ah, what a mess!" Saint Monk Longhai, having requested help from the Local Deity, had naturally returned early. But seeing that the defenses of the demon cavern were almost in shambles, Saint Monk Longhai felt a reluctant helplessness in his heart.

Even with the Local Deity helping him find Xuanzang, it had been over a year since he left. How much time would it take for Xuanzang to come back?

Moreover, with Xuanzang's cultivation level, even if he were brought back now, what could he, with his mere Body Refining Realm cultivation, do?

If they were to wait for Xuanzang to be effective, it would require at least a decade or even several decades of cultivation for him to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm and be of any help!

He really wondered what deep meaning Tathagata had in having him search for Xuanzang to help out!

"Aow..."

Just as the defenses were collapsing and becoming unsustainable, suddenly a loud dragon's cry echoed from the sky, drawing everyone's attention.

A white light appeared from the west, and under everyone's gaze, the white dragon dived rapidly toward the Great Buddha Temple.

"A dragon!?" Observing the dragon descending from the sky, everyone in the Great Buddha Temple was secretly startled.

For ordinary people, dragons, along with phoenixes and qilins, were divine beasts that existed only in legends.

"A dragon? Really, a dragon has appeared? With its arrival, it's unknown whether it's friend or foe!" At the Great Tang Imperial Palace, Emperor Li Shimin was naturally watching the situation at the Great Buddha Temple. Seeing the descending white dragon, he said with some worry.

"Your Majesty!"

Yuan Tiangang was close by, protecting Li Shimin. Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang also looked in that direction for a while before turning his gaze back and saying, "Your Majesty need not worry, this white dragon is clearly friend not foe, as there is a young monk sitting on the back of the white dragon, none other than the Holy Monk Xuanzang!"

"Is it Jiang..." Hearing Yuan Tiangang, Li Shimin was slightly stunned. However, just as he began to speak, realizing something was amiss, he quickly changed his words, "You mean the Imperial Brother? He has actually returned!?"

"Indeed, this old Daoist would not mistake it, it is Holy Monk Xuanzang who has come back, clearly to rescue Chang'an City from danger!" Yuan Tiangang nodded, secretly marveling in his heart.

A little more than a year since he left for the Journey to the West, and tonight, as Chang'an City faced calamity, he had actually returned riding a white dragon?

Could it be? In just over a year's time, had he already reached the Western Heaven and been anointed by Buddha and Bodhisattva?

"Since the Imperial Brother has returned, I shall personally go and see for myself!" Hearing it was Jiang Liu who had come back, Li Shimin thought for a moment and then said.

"Your Majesty, although Holy Monk Xuanzang holds a respected position, his cultivation is not high and he is still very young, hardly sufficient to ensure your complete safety. A wise man does not stand beneath a collapsing wall, and at this moment, the Great Buddha Temple is the most dangerous place. This old Daoist advises against going there!" Hearing Li Shimin's words, actually wanting to go to the Great Buddha Temple, Yuan Tiangang strongly opposed.

"It's alright, if the Imperial Brother can return by riding a white dragon, then he must be no ordinary man! Besides, aren't you here to guard me?" Li Shimin waved his hand, showing a fearless expression, his demeanor resolute.

"Since this is the case, this old Daoist will naturally accompany you!" Seeing that Li Shimin had made up his mind, Yuan Tiangang remained silent for a moment and then inwardly sighed helplessly before saying to Li Shimin.

There was nothing to be done, whether to go or not was only his to advise, the final decision was still up to the Emperor of Tang.

Since he had made up his mind to go, all he could do was focus on thinking about how to ensure his safety.

Seeing that Yuan Tiangang no longer tried to stop him, Li Shimin nodded, did not bring any guards with him, only chose a few experts with cultivation, and then headed toward the Great Buddha Temple.

"Saint Monk Longhai, have I arrived too late!?" Along with the dive of the white dragon, Jiang Liu leapt from the back of the white dragon, addressing Saint Monk Longhai.

"You? You are Xuanzang? You, you've already reached the Divinity Transformation Realm?" Staring at Jiang Liu who landed in front of him, Longhai wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost, his look incredulous.

You must be joking, right?@@novelbin@@

In just a little over a year's time, had he directly surpassed the Meridian Unblocking Realm and Controlling-Law Realm to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm?

Bang!

However, before Longhai and Jiang Liu could catch up, suddenly, a vast expanse of black flames appeared.

The overwhelmingly powerful flames shattered the already fragile defenses effortlessly.

In an instant, countless demon creatures surged out like a tidal wave.

"We'll talk later!" Seeing this scene, Jiang Liu shook his head and said to Longhai. As he spoke, the Feather Demon Blade behind him unfolded. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire

In a flash, hundreds of feather-shaped flying daggers, following Jiang Liu's movements, shot towards these demon creatures like a torrential rain.

Amid continuous screams, the demon creatures suffered heavy casualties.

Ah!

As the special effect of the Feather Demon Blade activated, Jiang Liu opened his mouth again and let out a loud, resonant dragon chant, a skill effect of the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound.

The invisible waves instantly repelled numerous demon creatures, and in front of Jiang Liu, a vast expanse of damage numbers sprouted, looking incredibly spectacular!

The Buddha Relic Dharma Ring, that was equipment capable of weakening the attack and defense attributes of beings lower in level than Jiang Liu by 20%.

Therefore, under the influence of the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound, all demon creatures below the level of a Demon Marshal suffered severe injuries.

Whoosh!

Moving like lightning, just then, a wolf-headed humanoid demon wolf appeared, charging at Jiang Liu as fast as lightning.

Its sharp claws extended, seeming like five streaks of cold light, clawing towards Jiang Liu.

"A Demon Marshal!? That means, its level is almost the same as mine!?" Seeing this wolf-headed demon, Jiang Liu's lips slightly curved into a smile, and he immediately raised his hand.

An exaggeratedly shaped giant axe appeared in Jiang Liu's hand, none other than the Xuanhua Axe.

Without any further words, Jiang Liu raised the giant axe in his hand, and simultaneously, fierce flames ignited upon it.

The handsome and attractive young monk, holding an exaggeratedly shaped giant axe, mixed with the power of flames, smashed directly towards the demon wolf,

Owww!

Amid the howls, both arms of the demon wolf were shattered by Jiang Liu's strike, and visibly, the power of the flames engulfed the entire body of the demon wolf, causing it to scream continuously.

In Jiang Liu's eyes, he could also see that the health bar above the demon wolf's head had dropped by about one-third following this move.

The Fiery Slash, besides the damage caused by the initial slash, similarly, the subsequent burning effect also caused equivalent damage values.

As the flame scorched, the health bar above the demon wolf's head quickly plummeted.

Without wasting words, seeing the demon wolf in a burning state, Jiang Liu immediately made his move and grabbed the demon wolf's head.

He activated the Palm Thunder skill instantaneously; violent lightning burst forth from the palm of Jiang Liu's hand.

The fierce blue lightning exploded in the blink of an eye, completely engulfing the body of the demon wolf.

As Jiang Liu removed his palm, only a sliver of health remained on the demon wolf's head.

In an instant, that slight bit of remaining health was burnt away by the burning effect, falling to the ground and twitching a few times before lying still.

The demon wolf that had initiated the attack on Jiang Liu naturally left behind only its corpse.

Notification: Gained Experience Points 6850, Money 800.

Following Jiang Liu's easy defeat of the demon wolf with one move of Fiery Slash and one Palm Thunder, almost simultaneously, the system notification rang out.

"Wow, so powerful..."

Watching a Demon Marshal with cultivation level comparable to Divinity Transformation Realm being effortlessly slain by Jiang Liu, who appeared to have no trouble at all, the Holy Monk Longhai sucked in a breath of cold air.

Although it was only a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation level, based on these techniques, his strength must have already touched the threshold of the Returning Void Realm, right?

"I, I have indeed become much stronger..."

Actually, seeing the Demon Marshal of the demon wolf being effortlessly slain by himself, Jiang Liu also felt profoundly moved.

He still remembered the first time he had entered the Demon-Suppressing Hall, when a Demon Marshal level Electric Light Leopard had put him through a near-death experience; if not for the desperate counterattack by Little Witch and Daoji, he would have been killed long ago.

Yet today, facing a Demon Marshal that escaped from the Demon Cave again, it took only two moves to effortlessly kill it.

This made Jiang Liu inwardly reflect and genuinely feel the improvement in his strength.
