The Monkey King

In the vast sky and earth, Yi Su was still flying slowly, towards the direction of Huaguo Mountain.

"Now...what exactly is going on?"

…

On the brazier, the dim red firelight swayed, illuminating the empty throne, and the oblique shadows of each pillar swayed.

The corpses of demon generals were neatly placed on the smooth ground, and they were all covered with damaged military flags of the Huaguoshan Demon Army.

This was once the highest palace of the demon clan, a place longed for by demons from the three realms.

During those years, this race that had gone through thousands of years of war had never been closer to its goal. It was only one step away from entering the world they had always longed for.

However, everything turned out to be illusory.

Great victory is just based on one calculation after another. When the balance is broken, everything is irreversible.

At this moment, there is only the last remaining unit guarding here. No one knows how long it will take before even this last guarding unit will be destroyed.

For the demon, the world will enter a severe winter again.

In the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, Dajiao stood quietly with his back to the door of the hall, leaning on his battle axe, silent.

In front of him was Lingxi's corpse wrapped in white cloth.

"Daughter, when father repays his debt to the Great Sage, he will come to accompany you mother and daughter..."

He smiled slowly, his eyes wet.

The entire hall was as cold as an ice cellar, without the slightest breath of life.

A demon general covered in blood hurriedly walked into the palace. He cupped his hands behind Dajiao and said, "General Dajiao, they seem to have stopped attacking."

"Stop attacking..."

Turning around, he looked out of the hall in confusion.

…

Outside the main hall, the dark demon army and the golden monk army gathered together looked at each other through a thick layer of corpses.

The demon army tightened their weapons one by one, grinning and showing their fangs. Show off your sharp claws and put on your most ferocious face, ready to face the impact at any time.

However, the monks just stood still. In the sky, countless monks were suspended, surrounding the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

Manjusri stood in the center holding a sword, pointing towards the demons.

There was no movement.

He pointed again.

Still no movement.

"Attack—!" He raised his head suddenly and roared.

The voice echoed and disappeared without a trace. The whole world was so quiet that only the whistling wind was left.

The monks looked at each other. But no one has ever taken the first step.

"They won't attack." Zhengfa Ming Tathagata slowly came behind Manjusri and said softly: "The demon monkey is very powerful, and the venerable master cannot take him down as planned... Now the demon monkey has spoken first, If we capture the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, we will definitely not give up. By then, the Venerable’s Dharma will be advanced, but what about theirs?”

Looking at Manjusri, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata said softly: "The motive for killing no longer exists. Forget it."

Hearing this, Manjusri fell into a trance.

…

South China Sea.

The water column rose into the sky, and the rolling waves turned into a shocking tsunami and struck all around.

The next moment, the monkey also jumped into the sea and began to search for the Tathagata's whereabouts. Countless shrimps, soldiers and crabs in the sea will surface and flee in panic.

The offense and defense of this battle have been interchanged. A strong attack is of no use to the monkey, but the method of searching for the monkey's Taoist heart only injures the enemy by one thousand and damages himself by eight hundred.

At this point, Tathagata, who has exposed his flaws, can only be on the defensive. It's a pity that the monkey still can't defeat him in one fell swoop, and more importantly, it can't give Tathagata a chance to take action against Huaguoshan. So much so that he had to be entangled with him and did not dare to rush to his aid.

Not long after, two more water pillars shot up into the sky, and Tathagata fled high into the sky. The monkeys chased after them like two meteors piercing the night sky.

In the blink of an eye, we have reached the dome of the sky.

That is the highest point of the Sixth Heaven. It is a hundred miles higher than Nantianmen, an invisible but tangible barrier.

Tathagata turned around and hovered, and the monkey also paused. The two looked at each other while hanging in the air, breathing slowly.

Lowering his head, Tathagata saw that his slightly trembling left hand was already scarred, and the white light on it had spread to the entire arm, almost swallowing up the golden light.

For him, time is running out.

…

"The monkey will win!" Master Tongtian turned around and said to Lao Jun excitedly: "His spiritual power is unlimited, but Tathagata's power is limited. As long as Tathagata cannot repair the flaw in his left hand, the monkey will win sooner or later!"

Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded silently.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Laojun.

After a moment of silence, Lao Jun sighed slowly: "We still don't know."

"Unknown? What do you mean? Is the situation still unclear?"

Lao Jun sighed: "There are so many variables that you and I can't even imagine."

He raised his head and looked at the sky quietly. There was only a faint meaning in those cloudy eyes, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

…

The monkey held the golden hoop tightly and stared at Tathagata with wide eyes.

"You can't beat the poor monk. Even if you are lucky enough to defeat the poor monk, you won't get what you want."

Pointing at Tathagata, the monkey said coldly: "Everything that can be lost has been lost. Now I just want you to live worse than death!"

Tathagata covered his left hand and said, "What did you lose? Isn't what you lost what you didn't want all along?"

"Huaguo Mountain? Didn't you never think of being the king of Huaguo Mountain? When you rushed out of Qitian Palace to kill Jinwu, did you think of yourself as the king of Huaguo Mountain?"

"Yang Chan? You have firmly believed that you don't love her from the beginning, right? Otherwise, why would she need to force you to get married?"

"Who else? Your nine senior brothers? Hahahaha... If you hadn't involved them, how could they have ended up with their heads missing?"

"Knowing that what you are facing is Laojun, the entire Heaven, and even the entire Three Realms, yet you still involve others unscrupulously. Hahahaha..."

"You said that the poor monk was the initiator. The real initiator is yourself. If you hadn't embarked on the path of apprenticeship early, the poor monk would not have discovered you. If you hadn't been determined to take revenge on Laojun, no one could have used you. Even Even your master Subhuti asked you to practice the path of enlightenment. The one who has been helping you is Lao Jun. But the one who has been helping the poor monk is you! If you want revenge, the first person to die is yourself!"

"Nonsense!" Monkey gritted his teeth tightly, his brows twitched slightly, and he spat hard: "You are about to die, are you saying this to excuse yourself?"

Before he finished speaking, the monkey took action instantly. The golden hoop held the hurricane and stretched instantly. It hit Tathagata.

"The poor monk will let you know if the poor monk is talking nonsense." Tathagata laughed wildly. Dodge quickly.

The huge golden hoop rolled back and forth in the sky like a giant snake.

Under the huge power, in an instant, the entire dome was shaking slightly, countless lightnings rolled back and forth, cracks appeared, and for a while, blue fire from the sky rushed in. Sprinkling onto the earth like raindrops.

The whole sky turned blue.

…

"Heaven...Sky Fire..."

The mighty powers in the thirty-third heaven all opened their eyes in shock.

…

Tathagata quickly dodged the fire falling from the sky.

"Hahahaha... You are really merciless at all. Didn't your master teach you what the consequences will be if you let the sky fire fall into the mortal world?"

no answer.

The next moment, the monkey swung the golden hoop at Tathagata again.

An incredible scene happened. The golden cudgel did not pass through Tathagata's body as before, but instead smashed him out like a meteor and fell to the earth.

For a moment, everyone in the sky and on the earth who were silently paying attention to the battle situation were shocked, even Tathagata himself was no exception.

…

"What... is going on?" A smile slowly appeared on Tongtian Cult Leader's face, his eyes widened and he asked, "Has the victory been decided?"

"It's about time." Lao Jun sighed.

Yuanshi Tianzun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Said: "The demon monkey's spiritual power is boundless. As long as Tathagata shows its flaws, it will be impossible to fight with it for a long time... Hehehehe, the demon monkey has won, and it will be our turn to liquidate it next, right?"

Leader Tongtian smiled bitterly, stroking his long beard and sighed: "Being liquidated is better than the destruction of heaven and earth."

Zhen Yuanzi took a deep breath and turned to look at Lao Jun and said, "Honestly. What is the Taoist heart of the demon monkey?"

"Obsession." Lao Jun said expressionlessly: "The obsession of revenge. Tathagata was looking in the wrong direction from the beginning. His obsession was not to protect anyone at all... but the heart of revenge. If not, why would the wind chimes When he left, his Taoist heart was not broken? What he hated was all the people who toyed with him, and what he hated was the unfair fate. Therefore, he became stronger as he fought."

…

The overwhelming skyfire swayed down, and the blue light that filled the sky brought not the long-lost heat, but the coldness that froze everything.

An elk was tainted by the blue flames falling from the sky, and before it even had time to let out a mournful cry, it froze into ice and fell to the ground.

Then, the blue flame began to erode its torso bit by bit.

Rocks, trees, everything contaminated, even water, even the remaining warmth in the air, were burned away in the fire.

The creatures on the earth were running around in fear and wailing.

A ray of golden light hit the valley heavily, raising dust that covered the sky.

A strong wind blew by, and Tathagata slowly stood up in the dust, covering his chest and almost fell to the ground by accident.

The golden light on his body has become increasingly dim.

Looking up, he saw the monkey climbing on the top of the mountain and looking at him angrily.

"I'm going to...make your life worse than death!"

Tathagata slowly clenched his hands, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

…

"Why don't you attack? Kill the remaining monsters immediately and burn the entire Huaguo Mountain! This may be the only way to break his Taoist heart! If this monster monkey's Taoist heart is not broken, the entire Buddhist sect will be destroyed!"

The Tathagata's voice reaches directly into the mind of every monk, Arhat, and Buddha. Faintly, he was no longer as calm as before.

Everyone was slightly shaken, but the encirclement was still completely unreachable.

Manjusri and Zhengfa Ming Tathagata looked at each other silently. After a long time, he took a step forward, and the monks made way for him.

On the opposite side of the aisle, there are layers upon layers of demon armies, and a magnificent palace gate with a golden plaque hung on it.

After looking around for a week, Manjusri took one last look at Zhengfa Ming Tathagata, clenched his sword and walked towards the demon army step by step.

"You all don't want to be involved in this cause and effect. In that case, let the poor monk do it. To kill these monsters, the poor monk alone is enough..." (To be continued ~^~)
