Chapter 388 Going to Heaven Again!

The atmosphere in the Lingxiao Palace was so solemn that it was almost suffocating.

The Jade Emperor sat upright on the throne, tapping the armrests with his fingers. His voice was low and cold, as if it came from the sky:
“In this battle at the South Heaven Gate, the Heavenly Court lost thousands of soldiers and the Giant Spirit God fled in disgrace. Where is my dignity?”

Li Jing heard this and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He immediately stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and bowed his hands to apologize:
“Your Majesty, I failed to lead the army effectively, and I will take the blame!”

“It’s just that the demon monkey Sun Wukong has great magical powers, and he has the help of the Bull Demon King, the Dragon Demon King and other demon kings. Our army was caught off guard, so…”

“enough!”

The Jade Emperor suddenly interrupted Li Jing, his eyes flashing with coldness, and his tone was filled with unquestionable majesty:
“I don’t want to hear excuses! Li Jing, as the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, you have commanded the heavenly soldiers and generals for many years. You are to blame for this defeat!”

Li Jing lowered his head, not daring to argue anymore, but the cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the gold bricks in the hall.

Nezha stood aside, his eyes lowered and his brows slightly furrowed. He glanced at the Jade Emperor and saw that his face was gloomy. He thought to himself:
“I’m afraid the Jade Emperor won’t give up easily this time because he’s angry.”

The Jade Emperor glanced at the immortals in the hall, and seeing that no one dared to look up, he snorted coldly and continued:

“I don’t care how powerful that demon monkey is, the majesty of the Heavenly Court must not be challenged! Li Jing, I order you to immediately investigate the cause of this defeat. If there is any omission, you will be beheaded!”

Li Jing’s heart trembled, and he immediately bowed and replied:

“I accept the decree!”

Nezha lowered his head, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself:

“It seems that the Heavenly Court has become suspicious of me. We can’t delay any longer.”

After retiring from court, Nezha quickly returned to his mansion, closed the door, took out a message talisman, whispered a few spells, and the talisman paper burned up instantly, turning into a golden light and disappearing into the air.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes:
“Sun Wukong, it’s up to you from now on.”

At the same time, Sun Wukong, who was far away in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, was discussing countermeasures with Bull Demon King and others, when he suddenly felt a warm sensation in his arms.

He reached out and took out the message talisman, and saw Nezha’s handwriting appear on the talisman paper:

“The Heavenly Court has become suspicious. The Jade Emperor has sent people to monitor you and Yang Jian. Make preparations quickly.”

After reading it, Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He looked up at the demon kings, his tone filled with excitement:

“Brothers, the time has come!”

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King immediately stood up, his eyes sparkling:

“Brother, is there any news from Nezha?”

Sun Wukong nodded and handed the message to Bull Demon King:
“Nezha has sent a message that the Jade Emperor has become suspicious. We must act in advance and catch the Heavenly Court off guard!”

All the demon kings responded in unison, eager to fight.

……

……

Three days later, at dawn, horns were sounded simultaneously in Huaguoshan, Chentangguan and Guanjiangkou, shaking heaven and earth.

Sun Wukong led the army of Flower-Fruit Mountain and headed straight for the South Heaven Gate. The evil spirit filled the air, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

He held the golden cudgel in his hand, his eyes flashing like lightning, and stood on the clouds, shouting loudly:
“Brothers, today is the day we overthrow the Heavenly Court! Follow me and kill!”

Behind him, countless demons shouted in unison, their voices shaking the earth.

Outside the South Gate of Heaven, the guards of Heaven were already on full alert.

The flags fluttered, the drums of war thundered, the heavenly soldiers and generals were lined up in neat formations, swords and spears were like forests, and the air was filled with murderous intent.

The giant spirit stood in front of the formation, holding a Xuanhua axe in his hand, looking solemnly at the wave of demon soldiers approaching in the distance.

Sun Wukong was the first to be hit, his golden cudgel dancing like the wind, his demonic aura rising to the sky.

He leaped forward and ran straight towards the giant spirit.

The giant spirit snorted coldly and swung the axe in his hand suddenly, bringing up a gust of wind.

The collision of the axe and the stick made a deafening roar, and the air waves scattered in all directions, and the surrounding heavenly soldiers and generals were all blown back several steps.

The giant spirit was startled and the axe in his hand almost dropped from his hand. He quickly steadied himself and faced Sun Wukong’s attack again.

The two men fought together, with shadows of axes and sticks intersecting and sparks flying everywhere.

Although the giant spirit was extremely powerful, Sun Wukong’s agility made it difficult for him to keep up with it, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At the same time, Bull Demon King, Jiao Demon King and Peng Demon King led their demon soldiers to rush towards other guards of Heaven.

The Bull Demon King held a mixed iron stick and fought with the twenty-eight constellations of heaven. The shadow of the stick was like a dragon, sweeping away thousands of troops.

The three-pointed, double-edged sword of the Dragon Demon King flashed with cold light, and every strike brought about a bloody storm.

The Demon King Peng circled in the air, spread his wings, and spewed flames from his mouth, burning the heavenly soldiers and generals below.

Outside the Nantian Gate, the flames of war spread and the shouts of killing shook the earth.

The demon soldiers fought with the heavenly soldiers and generals, with swords flashing and blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The ferocity of the demons and the tenacity of heaven collided at this moment, and the entire battlefield seemed to have become an Asura hell.

Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, Nezha suddenly descended from the sky, pointing the flaming spear in his hand directly at the heavenly guards.

He smiled, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and shouted loudly:

“The Heavenly Court has gone against the grain. Today is your doom!”

When the heavenly soldiers and generals saw Nezha’s rebellion, they were greatly frightened and their formation was thrown into chaos.

Nezha took advantage of the situation and rushed into the enemy camp, wielding his flaming spear like a dragon. Wherever he passed, the heavenly soldiers and generals fell to the ground one after another.

While he was fighting, he shouted loudly:
“Brothers, follow me and kill!”

Sun Wukong’s attacks became more and more fierce, and the giant spirit began to feel exhausted.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes, and the golden cudgel suddenly grew larger and smashed towards the giant spirit like a giant pillar.

The giant spirit quickly raised his axe to resist, but he was powerless and was knocked away by the stick. He fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, and was no longer able to get up.

Sun Wukong stood on the clouds, looking at the defeated heavenly defenders below, his mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

He shouted loudly:
“Brothers, the Heavenly Court has been defeated. Follow me and charge into the Lingxiao Palace!”

The demon soldiers shouted in unison, their morale high, and they rushed towards the South Gate of Heaven like a tide, heading straight for the Lingxiao Palace.

At the same time, Yang Jian led the six brothers of Meishan and quietly approached the Lingxiao Palace.

He held a three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, his eyes grim, and whispered to the brothers behind him:
“The Heavenly Palace is already at the end of its strength. We only need to tie down the guards outside the palace. Once Sun Wukong arrives, we can break into the Lingxiao Palace in one fell swoop.”

The six brothers of Meishan responded in unison, drew their weapons, and followed Yang Jian.

They shuttled between the palaces of heaven like ghosts, avoiding the patrolling heavenly soldiers and generals.

Outside the Lingxiao Palace, the guards are tight, with heavenly soldiers and generals lined up in neat rows, swords and spears like a forest.

A hint of coldness flashed across Yang Jian’s eyes, and he said softly:

“Do it!”

Before he finished speaking, the six Meishan brothers rushed into the guard formation like tigers descending from the mountains.

Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, the heavenly soldiers and generals fell to the ground one after another, and the formation was instantly disrupted.

Yang Jian leaped forward and headed straight for the gate of the Lingxiao Palace.

At this moment, Sun Wukong led the demon soldiers to attack. He stood outside the Lingxiao Palace with the golden hoop in his hand and shouted loudly:
“Jade Emperor, today is your end!”

After saying that, he smashed the heavy door with a stick, and the heavy door shattered with a sound, and the fragments flew everywhere. Inside the palace, the Jade Emperor sat on the throne, his face as gloomy as water.

He looked at Sun Wukong who had broken into the palace, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly:

“Monkey, do you really think you can shake the heaven with your own strength?”

Sun Wukong laughed loudly, pointed his golden cudgel at the Jade Emperor, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit:

“Jade Emperor, you have been doing evil and oppressing all living beings. Today, I, Sun, will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!”

Before he finished speaking, Nezha and Yang Jian rushed into the hall at the same time.

Nezha held the flaming spear in his hand, his lips slightly raised and his eyes full of mockery.

Yang Jian held a three-pointed, double-edged sword and had a stern look in his eyes.

The Jade Emperor sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes:
“You rebels, you think you can shake the Heavenly Court? I want to see if you have the ability to do so!”

After saying that, he suddenly stood up, waved his hand, and a golden light descended from the sky and went straight towards Sun Wukong and others.

A gleam of light flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes, and he swung the golden cudgel violently, dispersing the golden light.

He leaped up and ran straight towards the Jade Emperor, shouting:
“Jade Emperor, die!”

Nezha and Yang Jian were not to be outdone and rushed towards the Jade Emperor.

The three of them engaged in a fierce battle in the hall, with swords and sticks flashing and spiritual energy overflowing. The entire Lingxiao Palace was shaking violently.

Outside the palace, rescue troops from heaven kept arriving, but they were all stopped by the six brothers of Meishan and the demon soldiers.

The Bull Demon King, holding a mixed iron rod, stood outside the palace and shouted loudly:
“Brothers, stop the heavenly soldiers and don’t let them interfere with the Great Sage!”

The demon soldiers shouted in unison, their morale high, and engaged in a fierce battle with the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Inside the palace, Sun Wukong, Nezha and Yang Jian joined forces and gradually forced the Jade Emperor into a desperate situation.

Although the Jade Emperor had magical powers, he gradually became overwhelmed by the siege of the three people.

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in his eyes, and he waved his hand suddenly. A powerful spiritual force burst out, forcing the three people back several steps.

Sun Wukong sneered, his eyes full of fighting spirit:

“Jade Emperor, you are already at the end of your strength, why are you struggling to survive?”

The Jade Emperor gnashed his teeth, his eyes filled with anger:
“Monkey! I will never be defeated by you traitors!”

At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in Yang Jian’s eyes, and he swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword violently and rushed straight towards the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor was unable to dodge and was hit by the knife, with blood splattering everywhere.

He covered his wound, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Sun Wukong gloomily, with a bit of unwillingness and anger in his tone:
“Monkey, do you think you can shake the Heavenly Palace with the strength of just a few of you?”

Sun Wukong remained unmoved, his steps steady, the golden cudgel spinning slightly in his hand, making a low humming sound.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:

“Jade Emperor, you are so high and mighty, thinking that you are invincible. Little do you know that the laws of nature are cyclical, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end.”

“Today is the day for you to pay for your sins!”

The Jade Emperor sneered, the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out. He suddenly raised his hand, and a golden light condensed in his palm, rushing straight to Sun Wukong’s face:

“Arrogant! I want to see how you can shake the heaven!”

There was a gleam of light in Sun Wukong’s eyes, and he swung the golden cudgel violently. The golden light was instantly shattered and turned into starlight that dissipated in the air.

His figure flashed, and he suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed straight towards the Jade Emperor.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard outside the Lingxiao Palace, followed by several powerful auras rushing into the palace.

The Tathagata Buddha, the Three Pure Ones, and other great gods hidden in heaven arrived one after another, and a tremendous pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall.

Sun Wukong paused, frowned slightly, and glanced at everyone, with a bit of vigilance in his tone:

“Tathagata, Three Pure Ones, are you also going to intervene in this matter?”

The Tathagata Buddha clasped his hands together, with a compassionate look on his face, and spoke in a calm but unquestionable tone:
“Wukong, the Jade Emperor is the master of the three realms. Your actions have violated the heavenly rules. You must not make the same mistake again.”

Taishang Laojun waved his whisk, his eyes were deep and his tone was calm:
“Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor is wrong, but if you act on your own, it will cause unrest in the three realms. This matter needs to be carefully considered.”

Sun Wukong sneered, the golden cudgel trembling slightly in his hand, and his tone was a little sarcastic:

“Let’s take a long-term view? The Jade Emperor oppresses all living beings and does evil things, but you gods turn a blind eye to it. Now you come to teach me a lesson?”

The Tathagata Buddha sighed slightly, with a complex look in his eyes:
“Wukong, the law of nature has its own logic. Although you have a righteous heart, your actions are too extreme. You cannot continue what you did today.”

Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed with impatience, holding the golden hoop in his hand, his tone was cold and hard:

“Tathagata, you have a role in this matter. If you insist on stopping me, don’t blame me for being rude!”

After saying that, he flashed, swung the golden cudgel suddenly, and went straight towards the Buddha.

Upon seeing this, Tathagata did not dodge, but gently raised his hand. A golden Buddha seal condensed in the palm of his hand, which collided with the golden cudgel, making a low roar.

“Wukong, let go of your obsession and turn back.”

At this moment, Yang Jian stepped forward, holding a three-pointed double-edged sword, with a stern look in his eyes:
“The Jade Emperor has committed atrocities that are intolerable to Heaven. If we don’t get rid of him today, the Three Realms will be in chaos!”

Taishang Laojun frowned slightly, with a warning tone in his voice:

“Yang Jian, as a general of the Heavenly Court, how can you be so arrogant?”

Yang Jian sneered, his eyes full of determination:

“The Heavenly Palace is corrupt. If it is not overthrown, there will be no peace in the Three Realms!”

Taishang Laojun shook his head helplessly, with a bit of regret in his tone:

“In that case, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”

After saying that, he waved his whisk, and a powerful spiritual power instantly swept towards Yang Jian.

There was a gleam of light in Yang Jian’s eyes, and he swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword violently, colliding with the spiritual power and causing a strong energy fluctuation.

Seeing this, Nezha was not to be outdone, and rushed straight towards Taishang Laojun with his flaming spear in hand:

“Laojun, let me experience your magical power today!”

Taishang Laojun snorted coldly and waved his whisk. A powerful barrier instantly appeared in front of him. Nezha’s fire spear pierced the barrier with a crisp impact sound.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed with determination. He tightly grasped the golden hoop and suddenly rushed into the battle:

“In that case, let’s fight!”

In the Lingxiao Palace, the flames of war broke out again, spiritual energy overflowed, and the entire palace was shaking violently.

Sun Wukong roared, his figure flashed, and the golden cudgel with tremendous force pointed directly at the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor’s face changed suddenly, and he hastily raised the Haotian Mirror to block. The golden cudgel collided with the Haotian Mirror, and a sharp roar broke out, which shocked the immortals and gods in the hall to retreat.

At this moment, a golden light flashed, and the Buddha appeared in front of the Jade Emperor, with his five fingers spread out, golden light flashing on his palms, blocking Sun Wukong’s golden cudgel.

“Wukong, you are stubborn!”

The voice of Tathagata Buddha is low, but it contains no sadness or joy.

Sun Wukong shouted angrily:

“Humph! I will definitely take his life today!”

“You have fallen into the devil’s trap, turn back now!”
