Chapter 202: Five years passed in a flash, and he was called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!
Chapter 202: Five hundred years in a hurry, he was called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven! (VII)
The Bull Demon King planned day and night with a group of demon kings in the tent, and finally finalized a battle plan that he thought was foolproof.
He waved his hand, and the demon army under his command quickly gathered.
In an instant, the sounds of trumpets and war drums intertwined and resounded through the sky.
The mountains were filled with demon soldiers, all with ferocious looks, holding sharp blades, and bloodthirsty eyes.
The Bull Demon King sat astride the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast. The beast had eyes as sharp as lightning, and its body radiated a faint light. Its four hooves stepped on the ground, looking very majestic.
He was wearing black armor and holding a mixed iron stick with wisps of black smoke swirling around the stick, making him look extraordinary.
At this moment, the Bull Demon King was like a demon god descending to the earth. He looked majestically at his army and roared like thunder:
“Today, we are going to flatten Sun Wukong’s territory and let him know that we, the demon race, don’t need to live in harmony with humans. We only believe in one principle!”
“That means the strong are respected!”
Following the order from the Bull Demon King, the army rushed forward like a black torrent, raising dust that covered the sky and the sun.
Wherever he passed, the trees rustled, as if shaking for the coming battle.
On the other side, Wukong learned that Bull Demon King’s army was dispatched, and he quickly deployed with Nezha and Erlang Shen.
Wukong was wearing golden chain mail, a phoenix-wing purple gold crown on his head, lotus silk cloud-walking shoes on his feet, and holding a golden hoop in his hand. He stood at the front of the team, like a god of war.
Nezha beside him was riding a wind-fire wheel and holding a flaming spear, looking very heroic.
Lin Yuan was followed by Roaring Sky Dog, who was holding a three-pointed, double-edged sword, wearing a yellow robe and golden armor, with a stern expression and a strong aura.
At Wukong’s command, his army advanced in an orderly manner.
The monkey soldiers are in high spirits, and the demon tribes that were inspired by Wukong are also in high spirits. They firmly believe that they can create a better future under the leadership of Wukong.
The two armies faced each other on a vast plain.
The wind was howling wildly, making the clothes of the soldiers on both sides rustle.
The Bull Demon King glared at Wukong across from him, his eyes burning with anger, and cursed loudly:
“Monkey! Today I will let you see the bloodiness of us monsters!”
Wukong was not afraid at all. He laughed and responded:
“Old Bull, you are stubborn and have caused countless monsters to suffer for your own selfish reasons. I will stop you today and create a bright future for the human race and monsters in the world!”
Nezha shouted from the side:
“There is no point in talking any more, let’s just fight to our heart’s content today!”
Lin Yuan also clenched the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, staring coldly at the Bull Demon King’s side. Roaring Sky Dog growled softly beside him, waiting impatiently for the battle to begin.
When the Bull Demon King heard what Wukong said, he laughed out of anger:
“The bright road? You naive monkey, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only the fist of the strong is the truth!”
After saying this, he swung the iron stick in his hand, pointed it at Wukong, and shouted like thunder:
“kill!”
In an instant, Bull Demon King’s demon army rushed towards Wukong’s side like a black torrent that broke through a dam.
The shouts and cries like a tsunami seemed to shake the entire world to pieces. The rolling waves of sound made the earth tremble violently, and even the mountains in the distance seemed to be trembling under this momentum.
On Wukong’s side, the monkey soldiers were all in high spirits, with a determined light in their eyes, and they rushed towards the enemy together with the surrendered demons.
For a moment, the vast plain was filled with flashes of swords and sabers, as if countless cold rays were interwoven into a web of death.
Blood splattered everywhere like a fountain. Shouts, screams, and the sound of weapons clashing intertwined together, echoing in this battlefield filled with death and fear.
The Bull Demon King rode on the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast and rushed into Wukong’s camp with unstoppable momentum like a demon god.
The iron stick in his hand was swung tightly in the air, raising gusts of black smoke. Wherever he went, the monkey soldiers and the monsters fell down like leaves swept by a strong wind, leaving a mess behind him.
When Wukong saw this, his eyes burned with anger and he swung his golden cudgel like a golden meteor towards the Bull Demon King.
The two magical weapons collided with a loud bang, and the dazzling light that burst out was like a scorching sun rising over the battlefield, stinging people’s eyes and causing pain.
A powerful air wave spread out from the two people, forming an invisible shock wave that blew away the surrounding soldiers like ants, and they fell heavily to the ground, raising a large amount of dust.
Nezha rides on the Wind Fire Wheel and shuttles through the enemy camp like a ball of burning flame.
The fire spear in his hand emitted red light, like a nimble fire dragon. Every time he stabbed, it accurately penetrated the enemy’s body, bringing out a puff of blood.
He shouted loudly, his body splattered with the warm blood of the enemies, but he became more and more courageous as the battle went on, like a god of war walking out of a sea of blood.
Lin Yuan brought Roaring Sky Dog and wandered around the edge of the battlefield like a ghost.
On the battlefield, the Bull Demon King’s demon soldiers had various shapes and were extremely ferocious.
And after long-term training by Wukong, his army cooperates well as a whole.
The monkey soldiers, wielding short sticks and using their agile bodies, coordinated with each other to attack the enemy’s lower body. The demon tribes that had surrendered displayed their magical powers, some casting spells, others wielding strange weapons, engaging in a desperate battle with the enemy.
Although they were at a disadvantage in numbers and strength, each of them held firm belief and stubbornly resisted the attack of the Bull Demon King’s army.
Blood flowed like a river across the plain, dyeing the land a shocking dark red.
Countless soldiers fell to the ground, and the battlefield was filled with a thick smell of blood, which made people feel nauseous.
The battle became more and more brutal, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. Corpses were everywhere, making it like hell on earth.
As Wukong looked at the horrific scenes before him, he felt sad.
He seemed to see countless families broken apart and loved ones separated. Both the human and demon races were suffering devastating disasters in this war.
The cruelty of the war made him heartbroken, and he knew that if the war continued, it would only bring more pain and death.
Wukong gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision in his heart.
He gathered all his magical powers and shouted loudly, resounding through the heavens and the earth:
“stop!”
This loud shout echoed on the battlefield like a huge bell, drowning out all the shouts and screams.
Then, regardless of the shocked looks from Nezha and Erlang Shen, he resolutely tied his hands and feet and said loudly:
“Old Cow, I don’t want to see more people suffering. Let’s stop this war! If there is any grudge, we can settle it between you and me!”
The Bull Demon King looked at Wukong who had tied his own hands and feet, and a complex look flashed in his eyes, including surprise and a hint of admiration.
He waved his hand, signaling the army to stop.
For a moment, the battlefield was filled with a heavy atmosphere. The soldiers of both sides, who had just been fighting fiercely, now stood there exhausted, looking at Wukong and Bull Demon King, waiting for the next development.
The entire battlefield was dead silent, with only the howling wind blowing, stirring up the dust and blood on the ground.
The Bull Demon King looked at Wukong, who had tied his own hands and feet, and a complex look flashed across his eyes. Then he regained his fierceness and laughed mockingly:
“Hahahaha, Sun Wukong, you are too naive! It has come to this point, how can you stop just because you say so?
Do you think this war can be stopped by saying a few high-sounding words?”
The Bull Demon King rode on the Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, looked down at Wukong, and continued:
“However, it is not impossible to stop. You, Sun Wukong, give up all your plans for Northern Juluzhou in front of everyone, and promise that the Heavenly Court will never interfere in the affairs of Northern Juluzhou again, so that Northern Juluzhou will completely become the territory of our demon race.
In this way, I can consider a ceasefire. Otherwise, today’s war will continue to spread until you and I decide the winner and blood flows like a river!”
As soon as Bull Demon King said this, there was an uproar on the battlefield.
The people on Wukong’s side had different expressions.
They are well aware of the significance of Uttarakuru to them. It is the home they have worked hard to build under the leadership of Wukong, and it is also their hope for pursuing a better life.
The demon soldiers on the Bull Demon King’s side cheered. They hoped that the Bull Demon King would take this opportunity to completely control Uttarakuru and allow them to run rampant on this land.
Wukong looked solemn and thought to himself.
Uttarakuru is the place he has been working hard to protect. He hopes to create a paradise for the demons and humans to coexist peacefully here.
But if I agree to the Bull Demon King, it will be fine with the Heavenly Court, but I will have a hard time explaining to my master.
Moreover, the future of Uttarakuru is full of unknowns. It is hard to say whether the Bull Demon King can really bring peace to this land.
But if we don’t agree, this brutal war will continue and countless lives will be lost.
After a brief silence, Wukong raised his head, looked at the Bull Demon King with a firm gaze, and said slowly:
“Old Bull, Uttarakuru does not belong to me alone; it is the home of all living beings who desire a peaceful life.
If you want me to give up, you have to ask the people of this land and my brothers whether they agree or not! “
At this time, Nezha couldn’t help but say:
“Monkey King, the Bull Demon King is clearly making things difficult for us. How can we give up Northern Juluzhou to him so easily? And even if you agree, the Heavenly Court will not sit idly by and do nothing.”
Lin Yuan just stood by and watched coldly, watching what Wukong would do.
The Bull Demon King snorted coldly:
“Hmph, don’t use the Heavenly Court to pressure me! Today, either do as I say, or continue the war. It’s your choice!”
The atmosphere on the battlefield became tense again, with both sides on the verge of drawing their swords. As soon as Wukong gave the order, the war would break out again.
Wukong stood there, feeling torn between his conscience and his desires.
He looked at the blood-stained land and the faces of those struggling to survive in the war, and his heart was in great pain. Agreeing to the Bull Demon King meant that he had to give up his long-held ideals and the land that carried the hopes of countless lives.
The sacrifice of those people who died to protect Uttarakuru will be meaningless.
Even if he could use his abilities to break into the underworld and bring the dead back to the world of the living, the shame of surrender and the unknown fate of Uttarakuru under the rule of the Bull Demon King in the future were like huge rocks pressing on his heart, making him unwilling to accept the consequences.
But if you don’t agree, the killing before you will be even more brutal.
Looking at the tired yet fearful and hateful eyes of the soldiers on both sides, Wukong knew very well that once the war was reignited, countless lives would be lost and countless families would be torn apart.
Although he has great magical powers, he feels deeply the insignificance of his power at this moment. If he was strong enough to intimidate the Bull Demon King, why would he fall into such a dilemma?
Wukong took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue and determination:
“Old Cow, when you and I fight, it is these innocent creatures who suffer in the end.
I don’t want to see them suffer because of you and me. But Uttarakuru is related to the future of countless lives, I can’t easily agree to your conditions. “
The Bull Demon King’s eyes widened in anger, and he swung the iron stick in his hand fiercely, roaring:
“Hmph, you monkey, you are still pretending to be nice! If you don’t agree, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Today I will definitely destroy your so-called ‘paradise’!”
But at this moment, Wukong made a decision that no one expected.
He turned around and looked at Nezha and Lin Yuan, saying:
“Nezha, Erlang Shen, you are from the Heavenly Palace, so please don’t interfere. This matter is between me, Sun, and the Bull Demon King. Please go back to the Heavenly Palace! Also, take your men away. I will be the only one left here.”
Everyone was shocked and didn’t understand why Wukong suddenly asked his people to leave.
When Nezha and Lin Yuan heard what Wukong said, they were both stunned, with looks of astonishment on their faces.
Nezha was extremely anxious. He turned his wind-fire wheel and came to Wukong’s side, saying loudly:
“Monkey King, what do you mean? We have come here to fight alongside you. How can we leave at this critical moment?”
Although Lin Yuan did not say anything, his brows were furrowed and his eyes revealed confusion and doubt.
Upon seeing this, Bull Demon King was startled at first, then burst into laughter:
“Hahahaha, Sun Wukong, are you scared? You want them to leave so you can face me alone? Do you think I will show mercy if you do that? That’s ridiculous!”
Wukong slowly turned around, looked at the Bull Demon King with a firm gaze, and said:
“Old Cow, my actions have nothing to do with fear. This fight is originally a feud between you and me. It started because of me, so I should end it by myself.
I don’t want to implicate more innocent people. If the people from Heaven intervene, it will only make things more complicated and drag more people into this endless war.”
After saying that, Wukong looked at Nezha and Lin Yuan again, his eyes full of sincerity and determination:
“Nezha, Erlang Shen, you are all pillars of the Heavenly Palace. There are many affairs in the Heavenly Palace, and you still need to go back and take care of them. I will solve this dispute between me and Lao Niu myself, and I hope you don’t interfere.”
When the soldiers on Wukong’s side heard this, they were immediately furious.
The monkey soldiers looked anxious and shouted:
“My king, no! How can I let you face this powerful enemy alone?”
The demon tribes that surrendered were also very excited and expressed in unison that they were willing to live and die with Wukong and would never back down.
However, Wukong had made up his mind.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said loudly:
“I, Old Sun, understand the intentions of my brothers. But this is a responsibility I must bear. If I don’t even have this little courage, how can I seek a bright future for everyone?”
Lin Yuan finally spoke at this time:
“Goku, what exactly do you want to do?”
Wukong looked at him, and somehow, he suddenly saw some of his master’s shadow in Erlang Shen.
But this seems to be an illusion.
He said:
“No matter what choice we make in the current situation, it will never be perfect. I don’t want to give up this place, and I don’t want to see another killing.”
“Since you are not willing to take a step back, why not…”
“I will use my body to transform the river between the two worlds, and cross the Northern Continent. The north will be yours, and the south will be mine!”
Wukong points his golden cudgel at the Bull Demon King.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, not understanding what Wukong was planning.
The others also looked confused.
But before they ask.
Wukong let out a long roar, and the golden hoop extended greatly, drawing a long gully on the ground, and then flew into it resolutely.
The water power in his body burst out uncontrollably, and he seemed to be turning into a raging river.
And finally.
He really turned into a Nujiang River, running across the ravine that cut across the Northern Continent.
The Bull Demon King was stunned.
Unwilling to make a choice.
Just turn into a river and divide the two worlds?
What is this operation?
He tried to cross the river, but suddenly a raging wave rose up out of nowhere and blocked his way.
Wukong’s voice sounded:
“Old Bull! I voluntarily confine myself to this place and divide it into two realms. From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other and will only harass each other!”
“Of course, you can also force your way through this realm and cause trouble for me, but you can try it anyway, no matter what the consequences may be!”
The Bull Demon King frowned:
“You monkey, are you out of your mind? You can’t make a decision, so you act like a rogue? And, do you really think you can stop me with this method?”
“How ridiculous!”
After saying this, the Bull Demon King tried to force his way across.
But the next moment.
A great terror suddenly descended upon his heart.
It seemed that if he did so, he would really face the disaster of being torn to pieces!
The next moment, Wukong shouted:
“Old Cow! You may not know that I, Old Sun, have already refined the Four Seas’ water veins. If I am willing, I can even overturn the earth with the power of the Four Seas, regardless of the consequences!”
“You should give up the idea of forcing a crossing! In the past, it was not convenient for me to use the power of the four seas, but now, I have completely turned into a river, connected by the Dinghai Shenzhen, and have become one with the four seas!”
“You can no longer be my opponent!”
Lin Yuan heard this.
Suddenly it dawned on me.
He frowned and said:
“Wukong, you are willing to give up your freedom and become one with the Four Seas? Do you know that this is no different from being imprisoned? And you only confine yourself to the corner of the river in the Northern Continent.”
“Master, you are joking. How can you talk about giving up your freedom? This is only temporary!” said Wukong.
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Wukong directly merged with the four seas and divided Uttarakuru by a river, which was an action he had not expected.
But what’s the point?
It is true that he has completely liberated the power of the water veins and thus truly and perfectly mastered the power of the four seas, making himself unprecedentedly powerful.
But it also completely bounds myself to this.
Is it
A possibility suddenly occurred to Lin Yuan.
Then he shook his head and thought to himself:
‘This monkey head is really unexpected.’
the other side.
The Bull Demon King was a little bit skeptical.
But he kept trying, but was easily defeated by Wukong.
Finally, he gave up for the time being and just snorted coldly:
“You wait, you idiot! I will go back and study this despicable trick, and then I will break it myself!”
then.
He then withdrew his troops.
