Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven

24: Chapter 24 The Ox Demon King’s Fury 24: Chapter 24 The Ox Demon King’s Fury Sun Wukong, hidden not far away, was slightly surprised.

“Such a powerful fellow, fortunately, the Monkey King stopped Old Sun, otherwise I would have been suppressed for thousands of years.”

Sun Wukong sensed that divine thought; his expression slightly changed.

Li Guangming gave him a look and smiled, “Those who can be the chess players are all no ordinary individuals, among them is Lord Li.”

“The Ancestor of Creation of Heaven and Earth.”

Sun Wukong exclaimed, yet he was not surprised.

Lord Li created heaven and earth; he had the credentials to be a chess player.

“There are also ancient gods who withdrew from the world and have now reappeared, who also qualify to be chess players.”

Li Guangming continued.

At the same time, this was also a reminder to Sun Wukong that as powers in the heavens and the earth reemerged, all were strategizing.

Although he was powerful, he was ultimately a newcomer and still had a gap compared to these great gods.

Li Guangming continued, “Therefore, when you act, you must be doubly careful.

Now in the Three Realms, a storm is approaching, and many will fall during this calamity.

I do not wish for you to be one of them.”

“Has the Monkey King already leaped out?”

Sun Wukong suddenly asked.

He could feel that this Monkey King was powerful.

Li Guangming gave a slight smile and did not respond.

“Alright, I will not stay here any longer; I’ll leave now.

In the future, do not be so reckless.”

After speaking, Li Guangming employed his escape skill and left the place.

Sun Wukong watched the direction in which Li Guangming had left.

This Monkey King, he could not see through at all.

The Hermit of Fangcun, what exactly does their lineage represent?

…

The Roc Demon King took over the Demon Clan Alliance and immediately became the Alliance Hierarch.

The title of the Seven Great Saints of the Demon Clan instantly attracted many demons to come forward.

Even some loose immortals came seeking a strong backing.

They marked a territory in the Western Continent where their influence was unmatched for the time.

The Demon Clan Alliance even sought to expand outward, vaguely aiming to take over the Western Continent.

It’s not that there were no Immortals and Buddhas who intervened, but none returned.

The Roc Demon King was one of the top powerhouses between heaven and earth, a Great Saint of the Demon Clan, generally beyond the reach of ordinary Immortals and Buddhas.

In the South Sea at Mount Luojia, the Ox Demon King received this news.

He slightly frowned, becoming increasingly baffled by his third brother’s actions.

Taking his wife and children, the Ox Demon King returned to Mount Ji Lei.

This place was once the residence of the Jade-Faced Fox; after she was killed, the Ox Demon King and his family moved in, becoming the masters of the place.

“Your Majesty, there’s trouble.”

Before they’d settled down for two days, a little demon rushed in, his expression frantic.

The Ox Demon King furrowed his brow and said, “What trouble could there be?

Is someone daring to trouble me?”

As the number one Great Saint of the Demon Clan, he was giving face by not troubling others.

“A representative from the Demon Clan Alliance came, asking your Majesty to submit, or else…”

At this point, the little demon dared not continue.

“Or else what?”

The Ox Demon King did not get angry but just stared at the little demon, inquiring.

The little demon’s face was pale, and he nervously said, “If your Majesty does not submit, you will surely be skinned and have your tendons extracted, your soul banished to the Nine Netherworlds, never to be reborn.”

“He has turned against me.”

The Ox Demon King roared in anger.

He had not been angered in a long time, but now he truly was enraged.

If someone else had said this, he would have just laughed it off.

But the person who spoke these words was his sworn brother, the Roc Demon King.

The little demon trembled with fear under the Ox Demon King’s formidable presence, bowing repeatedly like making garlic paste.

The Iron Fan Immortal softly said, “Your Majesty, calm your anger.

Do not get upset over someone so heartless and devoid of loyalty.”

“Hmph.”

The Ox Demon King snorted coldly, taking a deep breath to forcibly calm himself down.

He waved his hand, signaling for the little demon to leave.

The Ox Demon King said, “I’ll go out right now, eliminate the emissary from the Demon Clan Alliance, and then call out the third brother to give him a good beating.”

However, the Iron Fan Immortal had a different idea.

“Please invite the seventh brother.

I have a feeling that the third brother came prepared.

You alone might suffer a loss.

Don’t forget that he has a master backing him.”

The Ox Demon King was struck by a thought, and he calmed down.

Without a second word, he directly sent out a jade talisman.

Sun Wukong had just returned to Huaguo Mountain when he received the jade talisman from the Ox Demon King.

Upon reading its contents, Sun Wukong sneered.

“Third brother, you really don’t care about brotherly affection at all.

Since that’s the case, don’t blame Old Sun for being merciless.”

Sun Wukong immediately set off for Mount Ji Lei.

With his speed, he arrived in less than half a day.

The emissary from the Demon Clan Alliance had also been sent away.

The Ox Demon King was resolute in his stance, refusing to submit to the Demon Clan Alliance; if they wished to fight, they were welcome to strike first.

“Seventh brother, you’ve finally arrived.

I was almost unable to persuade Old Ox.”

The Iron Fan Immortal heaved a sigh of relief.

Now that Sun Wukong had arrived, she was not worried anymore.

Old Ox was already on the verge of exploding.

Because after the emissary was sent away, the Roc Demon King immediately sent people to issue a challenge to fight with the Ox Demon King.

“Sister-in-law, rest assured, these mountain spirits and goblins aren’t that frightening.”

Sun Wukong smiled.

The Ox Demon King’s gaze fell on Sun Wukong.

“Did you take care of the third brother?”

“Yes.”

Sun Wukong readily agreed.

Two of the most famous Great Saints of the Demon Clan joining forces, the Roc Demon King could not possibly withstand them, unless he had another trick up his sleeve.

“However, there’s something I must tell you, big brother.”

Sun Wukong shared what he had seen and heard with the Ox Demon King.

The Ox Demon King was shocked.

A master capable of slaying a Great Heavenly Venerate, no wonder he could become the third brother’s master.

Such strength had already reached the level of Lord Li.

Above a Celestial Immortal stands a Heavenly Venerate.

The Heavenly Venerate is the true epitome of power, also known as a Mahāsattva.

Figures like Lord Taishang, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate, Lingbao Dao Venerate, and Jade Emperor all reside at this level.

The Buddha also stands at the level of a Mahāsattva.

To contend with a master who can slay a Great Heavenly Venerate, they alone would find it difficult to overcome the opponent.

“However, with you and I, brothers, joining forces, even if we can’t defeat the opponent, we surely won’t lose.”

Sun Wukong said confidently.

Both he and the Ox Demon King stood on the threshold of being a Mahāsattva.

With both being adept in combat, joining forces against a Mahāsattva should pose no significant problem.

They were resolved to teach the third brother a lesson, even possibly killing him.

“Just to be safe, I’ll inform a few people first.”

Sun Wukong thought it over; he was still very cautious.

He promptly notified Zhenyuan, Master Erlang, and The Bodhisattva Guanyin.

With Nezha also at Master Erlang’s side, four top powers of the Three Realms were aware, with Zhenyuan also being an Ancestor of Earth Immortals, a Heavenly Venerate.

They would not intervene, but they would all keep an eye on the situation here.

In case of any issue, they would arrive immediately.

The Ox Demon King was speechless, feeling admiration for his brother’s social connections.

He too had many friends, but very few as formidable as these.

Two War Gods of the Heavenly Court, a Heavenly Venerate, and The Bodhisattva Guanyin, whose status was comparable to that of Buddha.

It was rumored that she had barely stepped into the realm of the Heavenly Venerate many years ago, making her a weaker Heavenly Venerate.

Even if the Roc Demon King’s master truly appeared, he wouldn’t be able to act against so many powerful experts joining forces.

This time, the Roc Demon King was surely destined for defeat.
