Azure Dragon Star Domain, Pure Land
A faint shadow began appearing on the horizon.
A great bell chimed, and monks from every temple within the Star Palace soared into the sky.
Outside the Star Domain, countless monks lined up in golden Marching Clouds, blocking the shadow's advance.
The shadow revealed itself as a vast expanse of dark land spreading towards the Azure Dragon Star Domain.
"All monks, heed my command!"
Ao Luan stood in front of the Marching Clouds, her face solemn as she gazed at the encroaching land.
Ahead lay Sun Wukong's battlefield, Ao Luan had summoned nearby monks the moment she noticed the land's expansion.
She stood at the frontline, not retreating an inch: "Form the formation!"
The monks took their positions swiftly, the Marching Clouds transformed into a semicircle, and chants of the spell rang out.
It was a defensive mantra, each mantra transforming into a Golden Talisman situated in front of the monks. Linked together, these talismans formed a golden shield protecting the Star Domain.
The dark land drew closer and slammed into the shield.
Boom—
A vast burst of flames erupted amidst the Chaos.
"We've stopped it!"
A monk shouted aloud.
The monks' Marching Clouds successfully halted the spread of the dark land.
But Ao Luan's face showed no relief.
She looked towards the land, hearing dull sounds emanating from within.
The sound grew nearer, clear to everyone's ears.
"Drums! Those are war drums!"
The monks paled.
Amidst the deafening war drums, countless Heavenly Soldiers surged from the land, arriving in the blink of an eye.
Their charge was immensely powerful, beyond everyone's imagination.
Despite Ao Luan and the monks' valiant fight, the golden shield quickly dispersed.
War erupted within the Chaos, the land continued its spread, casting the shadow of death over people in the nearby Star Palaces, who began to flee in all directions.
"Namo Amitabha."
At this critical moment, Buddha appeared.
He extended a pair of colossal golden hands, stopping the land just as it was about to hit the Star Palaces.
Seeing Buddha appear, Ao Luan's hope rekindled.
"Reform the formation!"
Ao Luan gathered the Buddha Soldiers, intending to regroup.
But before she could complete, a black ring suddenly flew out from the depths of the land.
A deathly aura spread, making Ao Luan shiver.
She looked up, and a skeletal Heavenly General emerged from the ring.
"What kind of devil is this!?"
Sensing the energy within the Heavenly General, Buddha's heart sank.
The Heavenly General, with the black ring, launched an attack on the Buddha's golden hands.
Despite the powerful Buddha Light in his hands, it gradually faded under the attack of the Heavenly General.
For the first time, Buddha felt troubled by someone other than Sun Wukong.
"It ultimately comes down to him."
Buddha sighed inwardly, the Heavenly General's power was too immense.
Neither he nor Ao Luan could withstand it for long, their hope still pinned on Sun Wukong.
In the middle of the land, Sun Wukong was suppressed by a woman.
Endless Light Swords rose from the ground, Sun Wukong turned into lightning, leading everyone to forge a path.
He gripped the Jingu Bang, infused with the power of the Wanling Heavenly Dao, his strikes clearing vast swathes of space.
But the woman's Light Swords were endless, restricting Sun Wukong's movements, making it impossible for him to attack her.
"Little brother, don't worry about us!"
Immortal Zhenyuan was anxious, he knew Sun Wukong could break through the blockade.
But Sun Wukong, to protect them, had forsaken the breakthrough.
Sun Wukong was kind-hearted but also a natural-born War God, never faltering in battle.
Immortal Zhenyuan found it strange that his always calm junior brother would forsake attacking to protect them.
But he understood, continuing this way, Sun Wukong's power would eventually be depleted.
If his power depleted, there would be no hope of victory.
"Emperor Yao, lend me a hand!"
Immortal Zhenyuan thought of a plan, with a wave of his sleeves, gathered all the survivors into his sleeves.
Emperor Yao immediately reacted.
"Come onto me!"
He shattered a Light Sword, opened his sleeves, and Immortal Zhenyuan, shrinking himself, dashed in.
"Sun Wukong, go fight!"
Emperor Yao, holding a Heavy Sword, moved away from Sun Wukong's side: "I'll protect them."
He, incomparable and proud, would not allow himself to be protected by Sun Wukong.
Emperor Yao left alone, carving a path with his crimson sword light.
"Much ado about nothing."
Sun Wukong glanced back, having no choice but to charge at the woman with his Jingu Bang.
Although unable to confront the Nine, Emperor Yao was after all Emperor Yao, Sun Wukong knew as long as he distracted the Nine, Emperor Yao would have enough strength to protect himself.
"Boom—"
The swiftly breaking Sun Wukong collided instantly with the Nine.
His Jingu Bang struck the Nine's arm, powerful enough to destroy a Star Palace, yet was blocked bare-handed by the Nine.
Her body covered with Sun Wukong's flames, yet she remained unharmed.
"The Heavenly Dao I control is a thousand times yours."
The Nine propelled Sun Wukong away.
No matter his brilliant talent, Sun Wukong's cultivation time was still limited.
The Undying People's collected Heavenly Dao was the strongest in the Chaos, accumulated over eons.
The Nine unfolded her Divine Ring, layer by layer surrounding Sun Wukong, aiming to capture him.
The power disparity between them was simply too great.
