Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 397 Blood-winged Black Mosquito

Chapter 397 Blood-winged Black Mosquito

In the side hall of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

Wuzhiqi continued to explain to Xiao Chen the origin and fate of the Four Monkeys:

“The earth carries everything.”

“The stone monkey symbolizes the earth’s tenacity and perseverance, and also represents the earth’s vitality and immortality.”

“Gold is born from the earth. The Spiritual Stone Monkey is a ‘Golden Lord’ born from the essence of the earth. It has unparalleled defense, extremely strong vitality, and is immortal.”

“The monkey of the fire sign symbolizes ‘destruction and explosion’, and corresponds to ‘the power of fire’.”

“If Tongbi Ape gets the chance to cultivate to perfection, it can hold the ‘Heavenly Fire’ of the sun, moon and stars, and manipulate the ‘Earthly Fire’ of the mountains and earth veins.”

“The strike of those iron arms was like a volcanic eruption, shaking the heavens and the earth, and turning the sun, the moon, and the universe upside down.”

“The six-eared macaque of the wind sign symbolizes ‘change and flow’, corresponding to ‘the agility of wind’, and is good at listening and observing everything.”

“The red-butted monkey of the water sign symbolizes ‘flexibility and wisdom’, controls the ‘soft power of water’, understands yin and yang, knows about human affairs, is good at coming and going, and can freely travel through the vast waters.”

“Because the Chaos Demon Ape is too powerful, it has the power to create and destroy the world.”

“So the four monkeys born from the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape were born with supreme qualifications and potential.”

“However, the Heavenly Dao is wary of beings like us and excludes us from the ranks of innate creatures.”

“So, the four monkeys are neither heaven nor earth, neither gods nor humans nor ghosts; nor are they insects, scales, hair, feathers, or insects.”

“We don’t fall into the ten categories, nor do we have the name of two worlds. We are the aliens in the prehistoric world.”

“At the same time, if the four monkeys of Chaos are united as one, we may be able to gather the ‘Four Origins’ of Earth, Fire, Wind and Water and reshape the true form of the Chaos Demon Ape.”

“This is undoubtedly a major threat to the Heavenly Dao.”

Wuzhiqi sighed:
“Therefore, we, the four monkeys, are restricted by the laws of nature and cannot be born at the same time.”

“We can only be born separately.”

“Each one for himself.”

At this point, Wuzhiqi’s words were filled with helplessness and relief. He sighed deeply and continued to say to Xiao Chen:

“Moreover, we, the Four Monkeys, were suppressed as soon as we were born.”

“I was born during the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. As a water spirit, I am naturally good at water and thrive when I encounter water.”

“I should have roamed freely in the vast waters, stirred up storms, collected all the water in the world and became the supreme being that controls the power of water!”

“But at that time there was a man named Yu who tamed the floods. He tamed the floods.”

“And I was also suppressed by Dayu and couldn’t escape.”

“I can only watch helplessly as the world changes, the water bodies are no longer prosperous, and the innate water is hard to find. My path is also cut off because of this.”

A hint of sadness flashed across Wuzhiqi’s eyes, and then he continued:
“Yuan Hong, the monkey with long arms, was born during the Conferred Gods War and made his mark in the Conferred Gods War. With his monkey-like power, he made all the gods take notice.”

“However, the monkey Yuan Hong could not escape the fate of being suppressed in the end. He was suppressed by Yang Jian and Nuwa.”

“As for the Spiritual Stone Monkey…”

Wuzhiqi smiled, a complex look flashed across his eyes, but then he calmed down and said nothing.

“Now that the Spiritual Stone Monkey has been born.”

Wuzhiqi said slowly:
“Then I’m afraid that the Six-Eared Macaque will never be born again during this period.”

“We’ll have to wait a little longer.”

“The laws of nature are unchangeable. They will not allow us, the four monkeys, to appear in the world at the same time and threaten its order.”

“This is our fate, and also our helplessness.”

Xiao Chen seemed to understand something after hearing this.

He recalled the original timeline and original plot that he knew.

The red-butted horse monkey Wuzhiqi was born during the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He was first suppressed by Dayu and then by the Buddhist national teacher Wang Bodhisattva.

The monkey Yuan Hong was born during the Battle of the Gods and was suppressed by Yang Jian and Nuwa.

The clever stone monkey Sun Wukong is now born and is suppressed by the Buddha.

The Six-Eared Macaque was not born until nearly a thousand years later. He fought with the Stone Monkey and was eventually suppressed by the Buddha.

The time of birth of the Four Mischievous Monkeys was indeed cleverly diverted by this world.

“And the Fire Elephant Tongbi Ape has already been included in the Conferred God List.”

Wuzhiqi continued:
“His fire essence must have been completely wiped out by the power of the Conferred God List.”

“Earth, fire, wind and water, one of them has been lost.”

“We have lost one of the four Chaos Monkeys. It will be difficult for us to reproduce the might of the Chaos Ape again.”

“Perhaps, I will no longer be feared by the Heavenly Dao.”

Having said that, there wasn’t much regret in Wuzhiqi’s tone, but rather a hint of ease and relief.

Perhaps, for the Four Mischievous Monkeys, no longer being feared by the Heavenly Dao is also a kind of relief.

They no longer need to constantly guard against suppression and repression from Heaven.

“After the gibbon monkeys were suppressed and wiped out.”

Wuzhiqi’s voice carried a hint of sadness, but then it turned into a kind of detached and free and easy voice:

“In the future, it is possible that the Six-eared Macaque and the Spiritual Stone Monkey will be born at the same time.”

He understands yin and yang, knows about human affairs, has experienced many vicissitudes of life, and is very open-minded.

Wuzhiqi knew very well that he was now a red-butted horse monkey, part of the many primitive creatures, and not the chaotic demon ape in the legend that possessed the power to create and destroy the world.

He is just a part of the power differentiated from the Chaos Ape, carrying part of its will and power.

But he is Wuzhiqi, not the Chaos Demon Ape.

Wuzhiqi did not have too many obsessions with the matter of the Four Chaos Monkeys uniting into one and recreating the power of the Chaos Demon Ape.

He understood that it might be a powerful force, but it could also mean losing oneself and merging into a larger being.

He cherishes his current identity more.

He is Wuzhiqi, he has his own memories, emotions and experiences, which are proof of my uniqueness.

If he loses these, what will he have left?

If the four monkeys become one, their power will become stronger, but will he still be Wuzhiqi?

Xiao Chen was also shocked when he heard this.

The Four Chaos Monkeys, the Chaos Demon Ape, the Chaos Demon God of War, these terms intertwined in his mind…

“Chaos Demon Ape, the Way of Fighting…”

Xiao Chen murmured softly, his eyes flickering with thought.

His thoughts drifted back to the days in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, when Master Subhuti taught Sun Wukong the mysterious “Way of Fighting”.

Thinking about it now, it seems to contain endless profound meaning.

Master Subhuti, this mysterious existence, always gives people a feeling of being unfathomable.

Patriarch Subhuti seemed to know many secrets of heaven and earth; even the matter of the “Chaos Demon Ape” might be within his control.

Patriarch Subhuti passed on the “Way of Fighting” of the Chaos Demon Ape to Sun Wukong.

Before, Xiao Chen didn’t feel anything, but now he thinks about it.

This is by no means accidental; there must be some profound arrangement behind it.

Or were you prepared in advance?
Xiao Chen knew in his heart that although the Stone Monkey Sun Wukong was powerful, he was no match for the Buddha.

However, if the origins of the four symbols of the ancient world, namely earth, fire, wind and water, could really be united into one, what an amazing creative force that would be!

The four monkeys united as one and transformed into the Chaos Ape. The Chaos Ape, which had once fought against the great god Pangu, was so powerful that it was simply unimaginable.

If it was Buddha Tathagata against Chaos Ape.

Well…it’s hard to say.

“The monkey Yuan Hong…”

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but shook his head.

The long-armed ape Yuan Hong has been included in the list of gods and can no longer reproduce his former glory. He is completely ruined.

“Yuan Tong…”

Thinking of Yuan Hong, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but think of his subordinate – “Yuan Hong’s son Yuan Tong”.

As a descendant of Yuan Hong, although Yuan Tong also possesses considerable strength, compared with his father Yuan Hong, Yuan Tong is far behind in terms of potential and qualifications.

If Yuan Hong was born from the Chaos Demon Ape and the Fire Sign of the prehistoric world, he could be considered an innate god.

The essence of chaos and primitive times flows in Yuan Hong’s blood.

Then there is no doubt that Yuan Tong is a born creature.

Although Yuan Tong inherited part of Yuan Hong’s bloodline, no one knew how much of the Chaos Demon Ape’s potential he still retained.

……

At the banquet, the three demons, the Great Sage of the Water Ape, the Great King of the Golden Horn, and the Monkey King, were conversing in a very lively atmosphere.

“Brother Wuzhiqi, I would like to ask you about this matter again…” Facing Wuzhiqi, the living fossil in mythological history, Xiao Chen naturally did not want to miss this rare opportunity.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Chen asked Wuzhiqi many other questions that had always puzzled him, hoping to get answers from this demon elder.

Seeing this, Wuzhiqi readily agreed.

He picked up the wine glass, smiled slightly, and said:
“Brother Jinjiao, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.”

……

“Brother Wuzhiqi, I have a mosquito demon under my command…”

“I have one thing I don’t understand…”

“The Southern Continent…”

So Xiao Chen raised his doubts one by one.

Wuzhiqi also told him everything he knew and patiently answered his questions one by one.

……

Kanyuan Mountain is not far from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

After the banquet is over.

Xiao Chen did not stay in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea for long and returned directly to Kanyuan Mountain.

At this time, the mosquito demon Shu Wen had already arrived at Kanyuan Mountain.

Xiao Chen summoned the mosquito demon Shu Wen.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Xiao Chen discovered that the mosquito demon Shu Wen’s cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, and now he had reached the realm of Xuanxian.

however.

“Ok?”

“Some changes?”

“This is……”

Xiao Chen discovered that there seemed to be some indescribable changes in Shu Wen.

There was a ferocious aura surrounding Shu Wen, that aura was ancient and profound, as if it came from ancient times.

The breath revealed a primitive wildness and violence.

How to put it, Xiao Chen felt that it was a very ancient aura, somewhat similar to the aura of Pansi Daxian, Carp Demon God, Tiger Dragon Demon God and others he had come into contact with before.

This aura caused ripples in Xiao Chen’s heart, and he recalled his previous conversation with Wuzhiqi.

During the Dragon Palace banquet, he took the opportunity to ask Wuzhiqi about the “Blood-winged Black Mosquito”.

As a living fossil of mythological history, Wuzhiqi has unique insights into everything in this world.

According to Wuzhiqi.

This blood-winged black mosquito is actually a strange insect from the chaotic period, and its origins are deep and unfathomable.

The Blood-Winged Black Mosquito has an inseparable connection with the “Chaos Demon of Devouring” who represents the way of “devouring” among the three thousand Chaos Demons.

This blood-winged black mosquito was born in the time before the creation of the universe. It has experienced the feat of creating the world and witnessed the establishment of earth, water, fire and wind, and the establishment of the five elements.

This mosquito traveled through the ancient period when humans first appeared, and also through the ancient period when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors ruled, to the later period of the Conferred Gods, and finally achieved enlightenment during the period of the Conferred Gods.

The Blood-Winged Black Mosquito suddenly appeared in the world during the Battle of Conferred Gods, called himself “Mosquito Taoist”, and was revered as the “Ancestor of All Mosquitoes”.

The blood-winged black mosquito is born with an extremely mysterious “devouring technique”.

The power of this “Way of Devouring” is truly unparalleled.

This blood-winged black mosquito can suck the essence and blood of living creatures to nourish its own cultivation. The cruelty of its methods and its enormous power make all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens shudder.

If bitten by a blood-winged black mosquito, even a golden immortal would find it difficult to escape.

Once its poisonous stinger pricks, the creature’s essence and blood will be sucked away crazily, and the creature’s body will wither instantly, as if the source of life has been drained away.

The Turtle Spirit Mother, one of the four major disciples of the Jiejiao Sect’s Master Tongtian, had a profound cultivation and great magical powers, but she had also suffered at the hands of the blood-winged black mosquito.

In a few moments, the blood-winged black mosquitoes sucked the blood and flesh of the Turtle Spirit Mother’s spirit turtle dry, leaving only an empty turtle shell.

What is even more shocking is that the “devouring method” of the blood-winged black mosquito can actually devour innate spiritual treasures.

It can truly be said that: “There is nothing in the world that it cannot devour”, and its great power can be seen from this.

Innate spiritual treasures are generally almost indestructible treasures.

However, the blood-winged black mosquito can devour and destroy it with its unique devouring power.

The sacred treasure of Western religion is the lotus platform under the buttocks of Tathagata Buddha.

That is the “top-grade innate spiritual treasure”, the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit, a magic weapon of the same level as the Precious Lotus Lantern, a treasure used to suppress the fortune of the Western Religion.

It was directly sucked by the blood-winged black mosquito and turned into a ninth-grade golden lotus of merit, and its power was greatly reduced.

If the Western saint had not broken the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation in time and rushed back, I am afraid that this Ninth Grade Golden Lotus of Merit would have ceased to exist and would have been completely devoured by the blood-winged black mosquitoes.

This shows how powerful the blood-winged black mosquito is.

It seems like an alien creature between heaven and earth, living by devouring the heavens, taking pleasure in being strong, and having no scruples and no fears.

However, later on, the blood-winged black mosquito was finally surrounded and suppressed by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan. After a fierce battle, it was finally killed in the world.

Missing.

There is also a saying that the blood-winged black mosquito has not truly disappeared, and its soul and power are still hidden among all the mosquitoes in the world.

In other words, all mosquitoes in the world, to a certain extent, have the opportunity to revert to their ancestral form and turn into the dreaded blood-winged black mosquito.

“Shu Wen greets the king.”

The mosquito demon Shu Wen bowed his body, his tone full of respect, and saluted to Xiao Chen.

The mosquito monster Shu Wen is one of the earliest monsters under the command of King Jinjiao. He has followed King Jinjiao through all the ups and downs and can be said to be a veteran during King Jinjiao’s entrepreneurial period.

Back then, the old ox monster relied on his huge power to forcibly seize Kanyuan Mountain from the Golden Horn King. All the monsters scattered and sought their own ways out.

Only the mosquito demon Shu Wen never left him and waited for him for decades, guarding the mountains and the village for him, waiting for him to come back.

Shu Wen, the mosquito monster, is a loyal monster who has withstood numerous tests.

“Mosquito demon Shu Wen…”

Xiao Chen’s gaze was as sharp as a torch, fixed on Shu Wen, with a hint of scrutiny and expectation flashing in his eyes.

He was still relatively relieved about Shu Wen.

This peace of mind comes from many factors.

Shu Wen’s loyalty is what he values ​​most.

For King Jinjiao, the loyalty of his monsters is more important than their strength.

In addition to loyalty, King Jinjiao’s own blood advantage is also an important reason why he trusts Shu Wen.

He, the Golden Horned King, is a toad monster who is born to feed on all kinds of insects such as flying insects, crickets, beetles, etc.

He is born to be the nemesis of flying insects, crickets, etc.

Just like a big rooster is naturally able to restrain a scorpion spirit.

He, the Golden Horn King, is also naturally able to restrain flying insects, crickets, eels and other insect species, and has a natural bloodline that suppresses them.

No matter how arrogant and domineering the mosquito monster is, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot escape being swallowed by the toad monster’s long tongue and the huge mouth of the abyss.

The mosquito demons, locust demons, moth demons under his command… all have a natural fear in front of him, the King of the Golden Horn.

Sometimes, the Golden Horned King would just leisurely quack twice, and those flying insect monsters would be frightened and tremble with fear.

Some people were even scared to death by his majestic and deep “quack quack” voice.

There is no way. This is a fear that is engraved in their bones and an instinct that they cannot resist.

This is just like in the real world, a dog encounters a white-browed tiger in the wild.

If the tiger roars even slightly, the dog will be so scared that it will lie on the ground, trembling and not daring to move.

This is exactly:
“Everything conquers everything else, and a toad eats flying insects.”

In the eyes of King Golden Horn, these flying insect monsters are nothing more than his food.

Therefore, he was naturally very confident in using the mosquito demon Shu Wen under the command of his King Golden Horn.

If this mosquito demon Shu Wen dared to have the slightest second thought and betrayed him, the King of Golden Horn, then he would not have to do it himself at all.

He only needed to let out a deafening “croak”. That majestic and deep voice was enough to scare the mosquito demon to death.

Even scared to death.

If the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito appeared in the world, a toad monster like him, the Golden Horned King, would undoubtedly be the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito’s natural master.

He, King Golden Horn, was born to be the monarch of the Blood-winged Black Mosquitoes.

“The blood-winged black mosquito, the leader of the Hongmeng vicious insects?”

“Swallowing the sky and the earth, with infinite power…”

At this moment, Xiao Chen looked at the mosquito demon Shu Wen again, thinking secretly in his heart:

“Shu Wen, do you have that potential?”
