Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens
Chapter 196: Five years passed in a flash, and he was called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!
Chapter 196: Five hundred years in a hurry, he was called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven! (Part )
Nezha stood at the mouth of Guanjiang River and called out loudly to his second brother.
Not long after, a ray of light flashed, and the incarnation left by Lin Yuan appeared.
Lin Yuan looked at Nezha and knew roughly what he was going to do.
“Nezha, what do you want to call me for?”
Nezha quickly clasped his fists and saluted, saying:
“Brother, the demon plague is rampant in Northern Juluzhou. The Monkey King Sun Wukong and I are there to quell the demon plague, but we encountered a joint resistance from many demon kings. We fell into their trap last time and suffered a defeat.
I would like to ask my second brother to go to Uttarakuru together with us to help us defeat the demons and monsters.”
“Also, I remember that when Wukong was just born, the Great Celestial Lord asked my second brother to guide him, right?”
“My second brother has a connection with him. If he sees my second brother, I think he will be very excited.”
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, looked into the distance, and said slowly:
“There’s no need to explain the bond between him and me. It’s been hundreds of years.”
“As for the demonic plague in Northern Juluzhou, I have long heard of it. There are many great demons entrenched in that place, some of which are extremely powerful.
Individually, they may not be a big deal, but when they gather together, even a god in heaven like you will find it difficult to deal with them.
What’s more, they are likely to be connected with other more powerful demon kings, such as the Bull Demon King, whose strength is no less than yours.
I’m afraid it will be a fierce battle when we go to Northern Juluzhou.”
Nezha frowned slightly and said:
“Second brother is right. The Monkey King and I are well aware of the difficulty of this mission. But the people of Northern Juluzhou are suffering from the evil spirits and are in great pain. As the gods of heaven, how can we sit back and do nothing?
I hope my second brother can lend a hand and help us put an end to the evil.”
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and thought that this might be an opportunity to increase the popularity of Erlang Shen.
I have only focused on developing Wukong, but the role-playing of Erlang Shen has been delayed for a long time.
So he said:
“In that case, I will go with you.”
Nezha was overjoyed and said:
“With the help of my second brother, we have a good chance of success. The Monkey King and I have discussed that we should first consolidate the existing forces, divide the enemy alliance, and then advance step by step.
“What do you think, second brother?”
Lin Yuan laughed and said:
“I can’t say it’s a brilliant idea, but in my opinion, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. Wouldn’t it be better for you and me, together with that monkey, to attack the enemy’s lair directly and kill the bandit leader?”
Nezha was stunned, and said:
“If there is nothing to worry about, I would naturally want to do the same, but second brother, you don’t know that Wukong is not alone. He is in the Northern Continent, which can be said to be a country.
However, the customs here are completely different from those in Uttarakuru. The humans and demons live in harmony, and there is order. These were all painstakingly established by Wukong, and he attaches great importance to them.
If we act rashly, I’m afraid that the kingdom that Wukong has worked so hard to build will be destroyed.”
Lin Yuan said:
“This is indeed a problem. Then let you stay here and I will go straight to Huanglong with that monkey.”
Nezha:
“???”
“Don’t joke, second brother.”
Lin Yuan said:
“Okay, let’s go take a look first. I haven’t seen that monkey for a long time. Let’s see if his current strength has improved!”
There was a gleam in his eyes.
As a master.
He didn’t want to test Wukong.
But as Erlang Shen.
Lin Yuan can now train Wukong without restraint!
The two of them then went to Uttarakuru together.
Nezha and Lin Yuan turned into two streams of light and rushed towards Uttarakuru.
Soon, they arrived at the big city built by Wukong in Uttarakuru.
Although the city had been ravaged by war, it was still in good order thanks to the efforts of Wukong and everyone else.
The people were doing their respective duties, and the monsters in the 72 caves were also training intensively.
Wukong was discussing defense with a group of monsters in the city when he suddenly saw a flash of light in the sky and two familiar auras descended.
He looked up and saw Nezha coming with a heroic general wearing silver armor.
Wukong took a closer look, his eyes suddenly widened, he was surprised and delighted, he rushed forward, grabbed Lin Yuan’s hand, and said:
“My benefactor, I am glad to see you again! I have always remembered that when I was just born, you taught me the method of breathing in the essence of the sun and the moon. I will never forget this great kindness!”
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help Wukong up, and said:
“Wukong, I haven’t seen you for many years. I didn’t expect you to have made such a name for yourself. You have lived up to my original behavior.
And now, since you are responsible for pacifying the demon plague in Northern Jambudvīpa, if I want to help you, I also need to see your current strength.
Wukong, let’s have a fight. Attack me with all your strength. If you can make me excited in the fight, I will help you. “
When Wukong heard this, a hint of excitement and anticipation flashed in his eyes. He scratched his head and smiled:
“Master, please don’t show mercy! I, Old Sun, will go all out to show you how much I have improved over the years!”
Wukong and Lin Yuan deliberately came to a place not far from the enemy’s territory, and then found an open place with wide terrain, ready to start a battle.
Wukong was the first to launch an attack. He raised his golden cudgel high up. The golden cudgel instantly grew larger in the wind, like a pillar supporting the sky, and smashed towards Lin Yuan with tremendous force.
Lin Yuan looked calm. He gently swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy shot out towards the golden hoop stick.
With a loud “bang”, the golden hoop and the sword energy collided with each other, causing a strong air wave to erupt. The surrounding sand and stones were swept up by the air wave and flew all over the sky.
Although Wukong’s attack missed, he was not discouraged. He flashed and turned into a golden light. He went behind Lin Yuan and swung the stick out again.
Lin Yuan was prepared. He dodged the fierce attack easily by leaning sideways, and at the same time stabbed Wukong in the chest with his backhanded knife.
Upon seeing this, Wukong quickly somersaulted backwards several feet to avoid the fatal blow.
The two fought back and forth, and the battle became more and more intense.
Wukong displayed his seventy-two transformations, sometimes transforming into a majestic white tiger, pouncing on Lin Yuan with bared fangs and claws; sometimes he turned into a giant dragon soaring in the sky, breathing out flames.
Lin Yuan relied on his Eight-Nine Profound Art to counter each attack with ease.
He transformed into a Garuda, moving at an incredible speed, and entangled with the giant dragon in the air. His claws were like steel hooks, trying to grab the dragon’s vital points.
The powerful spiritual power fluctuations generated by this fierce battle quickly spread in all directions like ripples, alarming the nearby demon kings.
In a gloomy palace of the Demon King, a Demon King emitting black demonic energy was resting with his eyes closed, when he was suddenly disturbed by this powerful fluctuation of spiritual power.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of surprise and anger flashed in his eyes, and roared:
“Who are you to dare to act so presumptuously near our territory?”
The other demon kings also noticed something unusual and rushed over.
One of the demon kings, who was thin but had cunning eyes, said:
“Brother, this spiritual power fluctuation is so strong, I’m afraid the person coming here has bad intentions. Could it be that Sun Wukong has found help again?”
The demon king snorted coldly and said:
“Humph, no matter who it is, if they dare to run wild in our territory, they will have to pay the price! Let’s go and take a look!”
The demon kings, along with a group of minions, rushed aggressively towards the place where Wukong and Lin Yuan were fighting.
From afar, one could see the sky was full of light and spiritual energy. The figures of Wukong and Lin Yuan appeared and disappeared in the light, and the battle was in full swing. The Demon King looked at the scene in front of him and was secretly alert. He knew that anyone who could fight so fiercely with Sun Wukong was definitely not an ordinary person.
So, he signaled his demon kings not to act rashly, but to wait and see what the situation was, to see what these two people were going to do, and then make plans.
All the demon kings nodded, hid aside, and watched the situation of this battle closely.
At this time, a demon king, the Bull Demon King, who was specially invited from Xi Niu Hezhou, appeared.
He looked solemn, his eyes fixed on the front, and said in a deep voice:
“The one who fought against that monkey was Erlang Shen, the God of War in Heaven.”
When the demon kings heard this, they were horrified.
After all, Erlang Shen’s name is so famous that everyone knows him.
A demon king looked puzzled and asked hurriedly:
“Why would Erlang Shen fight with that monkey? Isn’t that monkey just a running dog sent by the Heavenly Court?”
The Bull Demon King frowned slightly and spoke slowly:
“Perhaps, it was the monkey who invited Erlang Shen, but Erlang Shen is a proud person, and if you want his help, you must gain his approval.
This is probably Erlang Shen testing Wukong’s ability, and it is also a kind of deterrence to us.”
As soon as the Bull Demon King said this, the surrounding demon kings began to whisper to each other, with fear and confusion on their faces.
The demon king who asked the question frowned and said worriedly:
“Erlang Shen is here in person, what should we do? If he really wants to help Sun Wukong, I’m afraid we won’t be able to stop him!”
The Bull Demon King snorted coldly, his eyes still fixed on the fierce battle between Wukong and Lin Yuan, and he said slowly:
“Don’t panic yet. In my opinion, Erlang Shen’s intention is not clear yet. He may just want to test Sun Wukong’s abilities and see how powerful this monkey is.
And if that monkey is not strong enough, Erlang Shen may not help him.”
Another burly demon king with a face full of flesh muttered in a muffled voice:
“Hmph, who cares what his intentions are? With so many demon kings joining forces, are we really afraid of a single Erlang Shen?”
The Bull Demon King glanced at him sideways and said with disdain:
“What do you know! Erlang Shen Yang Jian has great magical powers, is proficient in the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts, is known as the number one war god in heaven, has many changes, and has the help of Roaring Sky Dog. How can he be easily dealt with?”
“Let alone anything else, he is also the nephew of the Jade Emperor. Even if we are really capable of dealing with him, if we cause him harm, won’t the Jade Emperor be furious? Do you think our demon race has the strength to fight against the entire Heavenly Court?”
When the demon kings heard what the Bull Demon King said, although they felt unwilling, they also understood that what the Bull Demon King said was true. Erlang Shen was famous and they did not dare to take it lightly.
At this time, the battle between Wukong and Lin Yuan on the battlefield became more and more intense.
Wukong danced with the golden cudgel with great vigor, and golden rays of light burst out from the tip of the cudgel, like a dense rain of arrows, shooting towards Lin Yuan rapidly.
Lin Yuan displayed his exquisite body skills, moving freely in the golden light like a ghost. The three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand flashed with cold light, accurately blocking Wukong’s attack while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
The Bull Demon King stared at the two people fighting fiercely, thinking to himself:
“It seems that Sun Wukong’s strength has improved over this period of time. He can even fight Erlang Shen to a draw.”
The demon king who besieged Wukong and Nezha.
He is among them too.
There is no need to say much about the strength of the Bull Demon King.
Among all the demon kings in the world.
He is considered a very strong one.
At this moment, Roaring Sky Dog suddenly jumped out from the side like a black lightning and pounced on Wukong.
Wukong sensed the danger keenly, and with a flash of his body, he quickly somersaulted over and barely avoided the fierce attack from Roaring Sky Dog.
Roaring Sky Dog missed the attack and after landing, it kept barking at Wukong with a fierce look in its eyes.
While Wukong was dodging Roaring Sky Dog, Lin Yuan swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand suddenly. A powerful sword light flew towards Wukong like a dragon emerging from the sea.
Upon seeing this, Wukong quickly swung his golden cudgel to fight back.
With a loud “bang”, the sword light and the golden hoop collided violently. The powerful impact force generated was like a surging wave, shaking the surrounding ground and causing hideous cracks to appear.
The demon kings witnessed this thrilling battle scene and couldn’t help but be amazed.
“Hahaha, not bad!”
“However, if this is your limit, then you still cannot gain my approval!”
“Monkey! Use all your strength and attack me without reservation! Don’t worry about anything! I will handle it all by myself!”
Lin Yuan laughed.
Upon hearing this, Wukong took a deep breath and his aura suddenly increased.
“In that case, then let the True Lord take a good look at my true abilities!”
He roared, and the spiritual energy in his body surged like a surging wave.
His body suddenly expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a giant ten thousand feet tall, standing tall.
The giant’s hair stood up like steel needles, and his eyes were like two blazing suns, shining brightly and emitting endless majesty.
The golden cudgel in his hand also grew larger, like a pillar supporting the sky, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.
Lin Yuan also used the Law of Heaven and Earth.
The figure he transformed into was equally majestic, clad in silver armor and shining brightly, like a shining sacred mountain.
The three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand was like a dazzling galaxy. Mysterious runes flowed on the sharp blade, as if it contained the power of the laws of heaven and earth.
The giant ape transformed by Wukong took the lead in attacking. He raised his golden cudgel high and smashed it towards Lin Yuan.
This stick contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, emitting bursts of sharp whistles.
Lin Yuan was not afraid at all. He swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand and chopped at the golden hoop with all his might.
“boom!”
The collision of the two was like the collision of two stars, causing a deafening noise.
An extremely terrifying shock wave spread wildly in all directions with the collision point as its center.
The surrounding mountains and land were razed to the ground in an instant, rivers changed their courses, and sand and rocks flew all over the sky, as if doomsday had come.
“Hahaha! Okay! Okay!”
“You monkey, you really make me happy!”
Lin Yuan shouted, wielded his magic weapon again, and pressed down with all his might.
Wukong did not retreat at all, and swung his golden cudgel like a violent storm, with each strike carrying the force of a tidal wave.
The flashes of swords and shadows of sticks intertwined, brilliant and dazzling yet full of deadly danger.
The Bull Demon King and the other demon kings watched this world-shaking battle from afar, and were all stunned by the scene before them. They had never seen such a powerful collision of forces, and the fear in their hearts grew wildly like weeds.
“This kind of power is simply beyond imagination!” said a demon king in a trembling voice.
The Bull Demon King looked solemn, staring closely at the battlefield, and said in a deep voice:
“If Erlang Shen really wants to join us, then we might be in danger.”
