Above the East Sea, dark clouds rolled, obscuring the moon, and lightning flashed and thunder roared, startling the waves.
The battle raged fiercely between the Golden Winged Peng and Deng Tianjun; the clash between Heavenly Soldiers and demons formed a dense cloud of chaos.
"True Monarch, do you dare to disobey orders?"
Duke of Thunder, transformed into a lightning bolt to avoid the long spear, questioned Immortal Master Erlang.
"Disobey orders?"
Immortal Master Erlang's eyes turned cold as he spoke, "Is it wrong to protect my own home?"
"You alone disobeying orders is one thing, but do you not care about the fate of your subordinates?"
Duke of Thunder shouted loudly.
"I didn't ask them to join."
Said Immortal Master Erlang.
Beside the two, a throng of Erlang's infantry clashed with the host of the Thunder Department in battle.
Huaguo Mountain was their home, a place of abundance and beauty where food and drink were plentiful—who would allow others to destroy it!
Erlang's infantry was irrepressibly furious, and the gods of the Thunder Department were no less relentless. Around Immortal Master Erlang, dense clouds swirled, accompanied by a thunderous clash of arms shaking the heavens and the earth, an imposing force that startled both ghosts and gods.
Duke of Thunder looked over a few times and his expression changed.
Words had been exhausted; the only way left was to prevail through strength!
Duke of Thunder began to chant and cast spells, and a sudden surge of wind and thunder arose.
He rode the wind and thunder toward Immortal Master Erlang, with a momentum that shook the world.
Halfway there, he suddenly changed color.
"Who is it!"
He took a defensive stance.
A buzzing roar filled his ears, and immediately afterward, a golden light burst from the depths of the sea, tearing through the mist, and in a flash, collided with him.
The immense force of impact sent Duke of Thunder flying, trailing a curve across the sky, until he vanished beyond the horizon.
"Ah—"
Immortal Master Erlang heard a scream.
Many miles away on the sea, a roaming whale saw this and opened its mouth wide, conveniently swallowing it in one gulp.
"A glowing fish, that's a first for me."
The whale thought, swallowing: "Why does this feel like an electric shock? Not tasty at all."
It then spat it out from its back.
It wasn't just Duke of Thunder who was unfortunate, Erlang's infantry and the Thunder Department's generals were also swept away by the terrifying blast wave.
A big hole emerged amid the clouds of the melee, and a beam of light shot through it.
The dense cloud was literally punctured by a golden light.
"That was close."
Immortal Master Erlang narrowly avoided it; the golden light grazed past him, nearly causing an injury.
"What is that thing!"
He looked up, only to see the ray of light tearing through the clouds, soaring towards the invisible end of the sky.
"Immortal Master Erlang!!"
Suddenly, the East Sea Dragon King pursued from the sea and snatched at Immortal Master Erlang's attire.
"I helped you create islands, and you dare to steal the Sea Suppressing Treasure of my Dragon Palace!"
His eyes bulging with rage and whiskers flying.
"What Sea Suppressing Treasure?"
Immortal Master Erlang was baffled, never having seen the East Sea Dragon King so furious.
South Heavenly Gate.
Heavenly King Li didn't understand why Sun Wukong withdrew his Merit Incarnation, but he was not willing to miss this opportunity.
"Capture the demon monkey!"
He waved his hand and commanded.
"Attack—"
Heavenly Soldiers and Generals regrouped and charged with a rallying battle cry, vigorously wielding their weapons and attacking Sun Wukong.
However, they had only just surged forward.
A light shot suddenly from beneath the clouds, dying everything in golden hues.
Following the pillar of light, a shining long stick with the momentum to pierce the heavens, struck the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who had just surrounded them, sending them all flying.
The entire marching formation was violently split in half by this unexpected golden light, creating a thoroughfare reaching to the heavens, with even the ever-present clouds dissolving without a trace.
But that beam of light seemed to show no sign of stopping.
It continued to break through the Heavenly Soldiers' blockade, forcefully cleaving a path of light.
"..."
Sun Wukong looked at Jingu Bang.
Jingu Bang spun around on the spot, realizing something was amiss; it was too excited and had gone too far.
"What kind of magical treasure is this?"
"Where did it come from? It's so powerful?"
The immobilized officials in the back shouted in amazement.
Seeing its astonishing might, and now having burst out of the battle formation right in front of their eyes, all the immortals reached out, wanting to tame it.
But the Jingu Bang took a turn, sending those who tried to touch it flying, then made a return flight to Sun Wukong's side.
It stopped in front of Sun Wukong, shining brightly, completely still, as if waiting.
Sun Wukong shook his head and reached out to grasp it.
A familiar sensation imprinted in his heart, as if they were originally one.
He could feel the excitement of the Jingu Bang, and the Jingu Bang could feel his fiery blood.
Sun Wukong took a deep breath.
The darkness was about to pass, and the sunlight in the distance was slowly rising. The light of dawn scattered from the distant clouds, reflecting on Sun Wukong's armor, a glittering golden light.
No one knew what would happen next, nor did anyone know what Sun Wukong was going to do.
The days in the Heavenly Palace had been unchanging, they had forgotten all about the consideration of change.
"Let's begin!"
Under the various expressions of the immortals, Sun Wukong raised the long stick.
That stick rose higher and higher, with the dawn light slowly converging upon it, becoming an overwhelmingly high and brilliantly shining object, brightening the world as if dawn had arrived early.
With just a simple motion, the immortals all knew there was something extraordinary, looking at Sun Wukong with faces full of shock.
"Retreat quickly!"
The Immortal of Colossal Spirit was startled, commanding his subordinates to withdraw quickly, and he himself turned and ran.
He felt the terror of the Jingu Bang for he was the closest to it.
The air around Jingu Bang began to twist, a sign of rising heat waves.
"He's about to attack!"
The immortals focused on the Jingu Bang.
This light was not an Immortal Technique, yet it shined brilliantly as if it were tangible.
With such a large stick swinging down, it was unimaginable how terrifying the impact would be.
The defending Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in the rear did not dare to neglect their duties, simultaneously casting defensive immortality, forming a massive, solid light shield that protected the retreating soldiers within.
The air around the Jingu Bang began to distort, signifying the release of energy and ascending heat waves.
"Great Saint, wait a moment!"
Lord Lao Zi's voice came from afar.
Without a word, Sun Wukong swung down.
That moment.
The glowing gigantic stick outlined in the clouds, racing downward, quickly enlarging.
The defense shield of the Heavenly Soldiers shattered upon contact, doing nothing to mitigate the blow.
With a "boom," countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals spat blood, knocked out of the clouds by the stick.
The night sky seemed to have rained immortals.
"Hey! This indeed feels great!"
After Sun Wukong swung his stick, only half of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals before him remained.
Facing the other half, the corners of his mouth curled up.
On Huaguo Mountain, the stunned grass-head soldiers watched the falling stars in the sky.
Aoguang, who was about to ask Immortal Master Erlang to seek justice, stared blankly at the sky, unconsciously loosening his grip on his clothes.
"That, that Ocean Stabilizing God Needle..."
"If you're talking about the light just now,"
Immortal Master Erlang broke free, straightened his clothes, and said coldly, "It probably went looking for the Monkey King!"
"Monkey, Monkey King..."
Aoguang stared blankly at the sky.
The Ocean Stabilizing God Needle was not seeking Immortal Master Erlang but Sun Wukong?
Was it his son-in-law?
In the Three Star Cave, Bodhi Patriarch looked up at the sky.
"Has he finally revealed his true form?"
His disciple was always so mischievously adorable.
The sword once unsheathed, does not stop.
"Hehehehe..."
Bodhi Patriarch couldn't help but laugh.
"This world is really about to change..."
Had Heaven not given birth to Sun Wukong, how long would all creatures linger in this long night?
The Monkey King emerged, a wind sweeping from the Heavenly Palace across the Three Realms.
