The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 144: I Admit Defeat


Since he knew that the ground beneath his feet was the Flame Mountain, Sun Wukong had no choice but to go do one thing.

He flew out of the mountain with Lady Rakshasa.

Lady Rakshasa curiously asked, "Great King, where are we going?"

"To the Sky Scraping Cave."

Sun Wukong replied.

The Sky Scraping Cave of Jilei Mountain.

"Sun Wukong's boundary of the Immortal Country stretches to the Tongtian River!"

After listening to the demon's report, the Bull Demon King felt like vomiting blood.

Doesn't this mean that their cave had also become the territory of the Immortal Country?

"How preposterous!"

The other four Demon Saints were burning with rage, "What reason does he have to establish an Immortal Country here!"

"My Great Kings."

A demon carefully replied, "He is the Heavenly Venerate of the Western Continent!"

The faces of the Demon Saints suddenly soured.

They had sensed trouble brewing the moment they learned Sun Wukong was in charge of the Western Continent, but they didn't expect it to come so swiftly and fiercely.

"Big brother, we don't need to be afraid of him!"

The Peng Demon King said to the Bull Demon King with clasped hands, "Over the years our mana has grown stronger, and according to some Independent Immortals, Sun Wukong no longer has the protection of Merit, nothing to be afraid of."

"Easy for you to say."

The Jiaolong Demon King sneered, "Don't forget, there are Immortals by Sun Wukong's side."

The Peng Demon King lowered his hands, speechless.

"Sun Wukong's might is not limited to his Merit."

The Bull Demon King sighed, "We can't defeat him."

He had stayed in Huaguo Mountain and was well aware of Sun Wukong's clever tactics.

Sun Wukong generally wouldn't do something if he wasn't confident about it.

When Sun Wukong made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, the demons of the Sky Scraping Cave had bet against him, the Bull Demon King included.

In the end, they all lost everything, a decade's worth of gains wagered away by a peculiar demon.

The Bull Demon King reminded, "Noble brothers, look at our cave."

The five Demon Saints turned to see their cave empty and desolate, only some chili peppers hanging on the beams.

Their cave was so clean—precisely because they underestimated Sun Wukong.

"We'd better give up on fighting Sun Wukong!"

The Bull Demon King said reasonably.

"But big brother, if we don't fight, Sun Wukong will take over here."

The Jiaolong Demon King questioned, "Wouldn't that mean we can't eat human flesh anymore?"

The demons all knew Sun Wukong's rules.

"How could that be!"

"We must eat human flesh!"

The other demons also immediately cried out.

The Sky Scraping Cave suddenly erupted in clamor.

"What's the rush?"

The Bull Demon King suddenly slammed the table and shouted, "When did I say we should listen to Sun Wukong?"

Instantly, the Sky Scraping Cave fell silent.

"Then..." the Lion Camel King asked, "Big brother, what should we do?"

The Bull Demon King had already made a decision, "We head to the Northern Continent."

All the demons were shocked, and the Yuanyang King asked, "The Northern Continent is Buddha's territory, why should we go there?"

"Buddha needs us."

The Bull Demon King answered.

"Why would Buddha need us?"

The Yuanyang King was full of confusion.

"With demons all over the Western Continent, you tell me why?"

The Bull Demon King asked.

The Peng Demon King shook his head, also puzzled – with Buddha's boundless mana, why were there demons everywhere in the Western Continent.

"Without evil, where does goodness come from?"

The Bull Demon King added.

The other four Demon Saints immediately had a realization.

"Big brother is wise!"

They promptly decided to pack up and leave Jilei Mountain.

However, before they could depart, a frightened demon rushed in, "Great King, Sun Wukong is here!"

"What!"

The Bull Demon King was utterly shocked.

"Big brother!"

The other Demon Saints turned their gaze towards him.

"This Monkey came so early, we can't even hide from him!"

The Bull Demon King picked up his weapon: "Let's go out and meet him!"

Five Demon Saints led a horde of minor demons out.

Sun Wukong stood in midair, frowning at the sea of demons covering the mountain.

"Great King."

Lady Rakshasa, somewhat shyly covering her eyes, said, "Why aren't they wearing any clothes?"

"I don't know."

Sun Wukong also found it odd that the majority of the demons on the mountain were unclothed, including the Bull Demon King and the others, who were dressed in tatters.

"Bull Demon King, why are you in such a sorry state?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"Isn't it because of you?"

The Bull Demon King thought, if it weren't for Sun Wukong winning against the Heavenly Palace, they would have gained a Demon Immortal and wouldn't have ended up so destitute without clothes.

But the Bull Demon King suppressed his rage.

"Sun Wukong, I don't want to fight you."

The Bull Demon King said, "Let's keep to our own waters. If you want to establish an Immortal Country here, I'll just take my followers and leave!"

Sun Wukong looked surprised, the Bull Demon King's words took him aback.

How could he give up without even fighting?

"This doesn't seem like you, Bull Demon King."

Sun Wukong's eyes swept across the five Demon Saints: "Where did the Macaque King go?"

"Don't talk to me about that traitor!"

The Bull Demon King's face darkened.

If it weren't for the Macaque King helping that demon, they wouldn't have been harvested clean.

"It seems something has happened to you."

Sun Wukong's eyes flickered with curiosity, then he said, "I have let you go many times, showing mercy beyond duty, but this time I cannot."

The Bull Demon King was shocked: "What do you mean?"

"I'm short on hands."

Sun Wukong said: "Come help me."

"Outrageous!"

The Peng Demon King shouted angrily: "We are the Great Saints of the Demon World, why should we listen to you?"

Sun Wukong drew out Jingu Bang.

The moment they saw it, the horde of demons across the mountain collectively stepped back.

Then, countless minor demons knelt down and began to worship.

"Great Saint, spare our lives! We are willing to heed the Great Saint's command."

What a joke, the legend has it that Sun Wukong could defeat a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers with one strike, these minor demons were not even enough to pick his teeth with!

Knowing they faced certain death, no one would foolishly wait for it.

"You, you..."

The Bull Demon King looked angrily at those kneeling demons.

"Great King, the Great Saint is the Heavenly Venerate of the Western Continent."

A minor demon raised their head and said to him: "Him recruiting us is a stroke of luck!"

The Bull Demon King was furious.

At this moment, the Lion Camel King beside him laid down his weapon and also knelt.

"Fourth Brother!"

The Bull Demon King looked in shock at the Lion Camel King.

"Big Brother, I have finally understood today."

The Lion Camel King, head bowed, said, "We are not on the same level as him!"

Sun Wukong had changed; he was now on par with the Jade Emperor, unique and unsurpassed, all beings in the Three Realms must submit to him.

How could they resist such an existence!

"Bull Demon King, I'll give you one more chance."

Sun Wukong's voice came from midair.

The Bull Demon King lifted his head, seeing in his eyes the usual calm.

"You should understand."

Sun Wukong said: "At this moment, every creature of the Western Continent is under my control."

The Bull Demon King clenched his teeth.

"Really..."

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with a hint of regret: "Then goodbye."

He raised Jingu Bang, endless Divine Skills surged towards the staff, Immortal Light dazzling, eclipsing the sunlight.

This brilliance was no less than the Merit Fire!

The Bull Demon King shivered in the brilliance.

"I surrender!"

In the face of danger, he made the wisest choice.
