Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao

Li Jing, however, said with a smile, "Don't rush, that Precious Moonlight Buddha looks like a bookworm; there's no need to intervene in such a situation. It's obvious that the Monkey still hasn't had enough fun—he just doesn't mention it because of Buddhism's face. Let's not go up there and court this bad luck."

Therefore, the Heavenly Court remained still on their side, which left the Precious Moonlight Buddha utterly confused. He had heard that Li Jing was a well-known talented general of the Heavenly Court, yet he wondered why he didn't take action at this time.

"Bald donkey, you're pushing it too far!" the Bull Demon King roared to the skies. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

But soon he had no time left to curse others, the Monkey's Jingu Bang was already coming down on his head, and he quickly engaged in battle.

Seeing more and more Buddhist Soldiers surrounding them, Princess Iron Fan stepped forward, holding the Plantain Fan. With a forceful wave, a fierce wind arose, and before the Buddhist Soldiers could even find their footing, they were all blown away, tumbling over by the power of the Plantain Fan.

At this moment, Princess Iron Fan was also sparing no mana, waving the Plantain Fan non-stop. The Buddhist Soldiers were swept away by the raging winds, not knowing where they were blown to. The Monkeys, with their robust bodies, wouldn't suffer much harm even if they were blown thousands of miles away, but these Buddhist Soldiers did not have such ability and were either killed or injured.

Precious Moonlight Buddha frowned as he watched the scene unfold before him, thinking to himself that he had misjudged the situation. He finally understood why Li Jing didn't move his troops; with the Plantain Fan in hand, any additional Heavenly Soldiers and Buddhist Soldiers would be futile and unable to get close to them.

"There's no need to waste your effort. Let Lao Shun take care of the Bull Demon King. You all just need to help me guard the surroundings to prevent this guy from escaping," came the Monkey's voice in time, relieving Precious Moonlight Buddha of his predicament.

He quickly seized the opportunity to agree, "Since the Great Sage has spoken thus, we will retreat and guard the portals for the Great Sage."

As soon as Precious Moonlight Buddha's words ended, many Buddhist Soldiers also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, as the power of the Plantain Fan was too strong for them to even get close, and attempting to do so would only mean losing their lives in vain.

The Buddhist Soldiers retreated at an unprecedented pace, leaving the battlefield to the Monkeys.

Seeing this, the Monkey chuckled at the Bull Demon King, "Now there's no one to disturb our fight." As he spoke, golden light shone from his eyes, and an overwhelming battle intent swept over them.

Patriarch of the Nether River, sitting atop the Sea of Blood, couldn't help but frown. The towering battle intent reached him, making even his Soul tremble. This was the protector cultivated by Buddhism, the once Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong.

At the same time, he noticed that the Bull Demon King's body, upon feeling this battle intent, began to tremble uncontrollably with excitement. Even the Patriarch of the Nether River could not suppress the battle intent arising from the Bull Demon King's heart at this moment.

The controlled Bull Demon King couldn't help but let out a thunderous roar, the enormous sound waves spreading in all directions, and vigorous battle intent emerged from his burly body. At this moment, he was the true Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven.

Up in the sky, the Heavenly Soldiers were dumbfounded. They could clearly sense the surging battle intent from the two below, making their legs shake uncontrollably. It was an overwhelming presence and a gap in willpower.

Li Jing looked at Nezha with concern. At this time, Nezha's whole body was trembling, and it seemed as if flames might burst from his eyes. He gritted his teeth, trying his best to suppress the battle intent in his heart, because he knew that interfering in their fight now would be the greatest disrespect to them.

The Bull Demon King's body seemed even more towering as he slowly emerged from the sky-full of dust, his massive form blocking out the sun and casting shadows upon the already devastated land, exerting a terrifying pressure.

Yet, a smile appeared on the monkey's face, for he knew that this was the Bull Demon King at his strongest. Though Patriarch of the Nether River was manipulating this body, by now he had completely lost control; all of these behaviors stemmed from the Bull Demon King's instinct, from the unyielding fighting spirit in his heart.

In an instant, the Bull Demon King's huge figure disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving behind only a thunderous boom like the sound of thunderclap.

"Ah!" someone couldn't help but cry out in astonishment.

In that brief moment, the towering body of the Bull Demon King had already appeared beside the monkey, with such speed that the lesser-strength Heavenly Soldiers and Buddhist Soldiers failed to capture his movements.

"Well met!" the monkey lifted his Iron Rod, not retreating in the slightest.

The two weapons met in the air and, eerily, made no sound whatsoever, as if the air had frozen at that moment. The onlookers in the sky widened their eyes, watching the clash between the two, never expecting such a strange scene to unfold.

Li Jing, who was rich in experience, immediately shouted upon seeing this, "Quick, fall back!"

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals didn't know what had happened, but out of trust in their commander, they quickly retreated. Only a few powerful Heavenly Generals remained, silently watching the deadly fight.

On the other side, Precious Moonlight Buddha had learned his lesson this time. Seeing Li Jing give such an order, although not knowing what was about to occur, he hurriedly commanded everyone to fall back.

As the Buddhist Soldiers were retreating in haste, a world-shaking explosion erupted, followed by crisp sounds around where the weapons crossed. The surrounding space was torn apart, revealing dark spatial fissures from which countless streams of chaotic space surged out, sweeping across the area.

After that, a strong gust of air waves, centering on the two combatants, blew in all directions. In an instant, the ground became a mess, the entire earth began trembling, numerous rocks tumbled down, and air waves swept up countless forests, scattering the debris in all directions.

Those air waves reached the sky. The Heavenly Soldiers and Buddhist Soldiers, who were running everywhere, were hit by the waves and immediately lost consciousness, collapsing weakly on the ground. These were air waves carrying the willpower of both combatants, and those without firm resolve couldn't maintain their awareness.

Those still conscious stared at the battlefield in front of them, swallowing their saliva involuntarily, stammering to themselves, "Is this their true strength?"

Precious Moonlight Buddha, seeing the Buddhist Soldiers knocked down by the air waves, felt for the first time how terrifying the Three Realms could be. If Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King were already so powerful, he couldn't imagine what it would be like when the Saints themselves took action.

He quickly shook his head, thinking it better for the Saints not to intervene. In his mind flashed the scene of the Heavenly Venerable's imperial decree arriving at Mount Ling.

The Arhat who spoke arrogant words is now a mere child, as if he had undergone reincarnation, erasing all worldly memories. More terrifying still, it seems as if his very roots and bones have been cleansed, and he has now become an ordinary Buddhist Novice. The Arhat from his memories has completely vanished from this world.
