Chapter 199: Five hundred years in a hurry, he was called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven! (IV)
Outside the Bagua furnace.

When Laojun heard what Wukong said, he was slightly startled, and then a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He laughed and said:
“You are such a brave monkey! If so, I will grant your wish!”

After saying that, Laojun quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. The Six Ding Divine Fire under the Bagua Furnace suddenly became stronger. The already blazing flames now surged several feet higher. The raging flames completely engulfed Wukong, and the entire Bagua Furnace was illuminated red.

In this fierce fire, Wukong was not afraid at all. Instead, he fully felt the further tempering of the Six Ding Divine Fire.

He activated the various powers integrated in his body, which echoed with the power of the divine fire.

The power of the Wood Element gave rise to strands of vitality, which intertwined with the fierceness of the Six Ding Divine Fire, further tempering his body.

At this moment, Wukong seemed to have become a messenger communicating with the divine fire. He could clearly feel the miraculous effects of the Six Ding Divine Fire on various parts of his body when it was running in different directions.

The fire power brought by the Monkey King state can make him closer to this kind of fire power. Vaguely, Wukong even feels that he has the ability to master this kind of Six Ding Divine Fire.

His entire aura seemed to be becoming more powerful.

Under the full force of the Six Ding Divine Fire, Wukong continued to break through his own limits and his strength increased at an astonishing speed.

After an unknown amount of time, a shocking roar suddenly came from the Bagua furnace, and the sound seemed to break through the constraints of heaven and earth.

Then, the furnace door exploded with a loud bang, countless sparks flew out, and Wukong jumped out of the furnace like a golden meteor.

He was emitting a dazzling golden light all over his body, his fiery red hair was dancing wildly in the wind, his eyes were flashing with sharp light, and his whole aura was sharp and powerful, as if he was a god of war from ancient times.

Wukong landed on the ground, holding his head high and chest puffed out. His aura spread wildly, causing the space around him to vibrate.

Laojun looked at the reborn Wukong in front of him with a gratified smile on his face:
“What a naughty monkey! You actually managed to pull through, and your strength has greatly increased. This is truly extraordinary!”

After saying this, Laojun waved his sleeves, and several jade bottles flew out from the alchemy room of the Tushita Palace and landed steadily in Wukong’s hands.

Laojun said:

“These bottles of elixirs were made by me with countless efforts. They will be of great benefit to your current realm improvement. Please take them.”

Wukong grinned, did not refuse, pulled out the cork, and poured the elixir into his mouth.

The elixir melted in his mouth, transforming into a powerful yet gentle force that quickly flowed along his meridians.

This power merged with the already surging magic power in his body, causing his magic power to instantly become more turbulent like a flood bursting through a dam.

Goku only felt that his power seemed endless, and every cell was full of vitality and strength.

He tried to use his magic power, and saw light flashing all around him. Strange runes appeared and disappeared around him.

At this moment, he had greater control over his own strength, and every move he made exuded a powerful aura.

Wukong looked at Laojun gratefully, clasped his fists and said:
“Thank you for your generous help, Old Lord! I, Sun, will not let you down. But I have been in this heaven for so long, and I think something has happened down there, so I will not stay here any longer for now.

I will come back to thank you after I pacify the demonic threat in Northern Juluzhou!”

After saying that, he somersaulted and sped away towards the direction of Uttarakuru, leaving behind only a golden afterimage.

Seeing Wukong so impatient, Laojun couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh:
“This monkey is still so impetuous and can’t sit still for a moment. However, his eagerness to quell the demonic plague and protect the people is rare.”

One day in heaven and one year on earth.

By the time Wukong went to heaven, he had been refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace for a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one days, but eighty-one years had already passed in Uttarakuru.

now.

The Bull Demon King stood on the top of a high mountain in Uttarakuru, overlooking the army of demons that covered the entire mountain.

For eighty-one years, he used his outstanding leadership and iron-blooded tactics to bring together all the demon tribes in Uttarakuru except the Wukong Demon Kingdom.

Not only that, his reputation also attracted many great demon kings from Xiniu Hezhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou to come and submit to him, making his power at its peak and unprecedentedly powerful.

He was wearing black armor, and the gems inlaid on the armor were shining with a cold light, like cold stars in the night sky.

His long black hair fluttered in the wind, and the hideous scar on his face added to his majesty and dominance.

The Bull Demon King clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, and thought to himself:

“Sun Wukong, although I don’t know why you went to the Heavenly Palace, I think you don’t know that the demon tribe of my Northern Julu Continent is no longer the same as before.

I have united the demon race. This Northern Continent, and even the entire Three Realms, will be changed because of me, the Bull Demon King. The day of the decisive battle will be the day when you and I will decide the winner!”

At this time, a little demon came running over, knelt on one knee, and reported:

“My lord, spies on the front line have reported that there have been unusual movements at the border of Northern Juluzhou recently. It is suspected that there are powerful fluctuations, which may be related to Sun Wukong.”

The Bull Demon King raised his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a sneer:
“Are you finally back? I have waited for this day for too long.

Pass the order down, let the brothers prepare to fight at any time. This time, we must let the Heavenly Court and Sun Wukong know how powerful our demon race is! “

“Yes!”

The little demon took the order and quickly retreated to convey the Bull Demon King’s instructions.

The Bull Demon King looked into the distance, his eyes revealing determination.

He knew very well that the future battle would be a life-and-death contest concerning the fate of the demon race.

If they win, the demon race will rise from then on and occupy a place in the Three Realms.

If they fail, there will be no recovery and the demon race will never be able to turn things around.

But he showed no fear, and the ambition in his heart was like a burning flame, burning brighter and brighter.

Looking ahead, on the land of Uttarakuru, the demons began to prepare for battle in full swing.

In the valley, blacksmiths were forging weapons day and night, sparks flying everywhere; on the plains, demon warriors were training in formation, with shouts of killing shaking the sky.

These are the empires that Bull Demon King has built over the years!
Wukong flew back to Uttarakuru with a somersault cloud. As soon as he landed, he sensed the solemn atmosphere.

The tranquility of the past is long gone, and a solemn atmosphere permeates the air.

He was just about to look for his old subordinates when he saw Nezha riding on a wind-fire wheel and rushing towards him.

Wukong hurried over and asked anxiously:
“Nezha, what is the current situation in Uttarakuru? Why is it so tense?”

Nezha looked serious and said to Wukong:

“Monkey King, the situation is not good! During these eighty-one years, the Bull Demon King has used his means to not only integrate all the demon tribes in the Northern Continent except your demon country, but also attracted many demon kings from the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent to submit to him. Almost all the demon tribes in the four major continents have been united by him.

Now he has a huge influence and many demon tribes under his command, his strength should not be underestimated. “

Wukong frowned, thinking to himself that the Bull Demon King had such power. Nezha continued:

“Monkey King, although the forces of Huaguo Mountain and Guanjiangkou have been recuperating in recent years, it is probably far from enough to face the huge demon force integrated by Bull Demon King.

They are strong and their morale is high. A war is inevitable, but our strength is too weak. “

When Wukong heard this, a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He clenched his golden cudgel and said:
“Hmph, even if that’s the case, I, Old Sun, will not back down. The Bull Demon King wants to stir up trouble, so I will accompany him to the end! If he wants to change the Three Realms, he should first ask the golden hoop in my hand if it agrees!”

Nezha looked at Wukong’s resolute expression and felt even happier about what was to come.

He said:
“Since the Monkey King is determined, Nezha will definitely help him with all his strength. But this battle will be difficult, so we still need to take a long-term view and think of a countermeasure.”

Wukong nodded and looked into the distance, as if he had already seen the upcoming battle.

He knew that this battle was of great importance. Whether he could completely establish a place where humans and demons lived in harmony in the human world, and then promote it to other continents, until the entire three realms were in harmony with humans and demons, all depended on this day.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will fight the Bull Demon King to the death!
However, the Bull Demon King received an invitation from Wukong, which clearly stated that a banquet had been set up in the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Dongsheng Continent, and the emperor hoped that he would go and have a chat.

The Bull Demon King looked at the invitation in his hand and couldn’t help laughing.

“What a monkey! Are you planning to hold a Hongmen Banquet?”

A little demon beside him looked worried and hurriedly advised:

“My lord, this is probably a trap set by Sun Wukong. You must not go there!”

The Bull Demon King snorted disdainfully and said:

“A trap? Humph, I’ve heard of the Flower-Fruit Mountain before. It’s the home of that monkey. If he invites us to a banquet in the demon country he founded, that’s fine.

But since they dared to invite me to a banquet in their hometown, I think they are really sincere. How could I be afraid?

If I don’t even have this much courage, how can I lead these many demon tribes and change the three realms?”

“Old Cow would like to see what this monkey is thinking!”

After saying that, the Bull Demon King turned to look at the two close demon kings beside him and asked:

“Will you come with me?”

The two demon kings looked at each other and said in unison:

“I wish to go with the king!”

The Bull Demon King nodded with satisfaction, turned over and rode on the Water-avoiding Golden Crystal Beast, waved his hand, and said:

“Let’s go! Let’s go meet this Sun Wukong and see what tricks he has!”

The Water-avoiding Golden Crystal Beast let out a roar, and carrying the Bull Demon King, it rushed towards the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Dongsheng Shenzhou like a gust of wind.

Along the way, the wind whistled in his ears. The Bull Demon King looked at the rapidly receding scenery and thought to himself:

“Sun Wukong, what exactly are you planning? No matter what, I, the Bull Demon King, will not be afraid of you.

Today, I will let you know that it is time for our demon race to rise in these three realms!”

Soon, they arrived at Huaguo Mountain.

I saw that Huaguo Mountain was still as beautiful as ever, with undulating mountains, shady trees, waterfalls and beautiful scenery.

But the Bull Demon King had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. He looked around vigilantly and walked slowly towards the depths of the Flower-Fruit Mountain with the two demon kings.

In the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

When Wukong saw Bull Demon King coming, he stepped forward to greet him personally and said enthusiastically:
“I have heard of the Bull Demon King’s mighty reputation for a long time. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extremely powerful and worthy of his reputation!
I don’t know why, but as soon as I saw you, I felt a sense of closeness in my heart and wanted to become your brother.

It’s a pity that you and I are in different positions now, so it’s probably difficult to fulfill your wish.

However, today is a rare opportunity for us to get together, so we can take this opportunity to have a drink together, how about it?”

The Bull Demon King snorted coldly, showing disdain on his face, and said loudly:
“Don’t try to get close to me! You are just a running dog of the Heavenly Court. Are you worthy of being compared with me?”

When Wukong heard this, he suddenly became furious and clenched his fists unconsciously. His golden cudgel seemed to sense his master’s anger and trembled slightly.

But he suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and said slowly:
“Bull Demon King, when did I become a running dog of the Heavenly Court? Everything I do is just to make the humans and demons in this world live in harmony and no longer have disputes.

Do you have to be the enemy of Heaven and start a war to destroy countless lives in order to unite the demon race? “

The Bull Demon King looked at Wukong with contempt in his eyes and said:

“Humph, humans and demons living in harmony? This is just your wishful thinking. The Heavenly Court has always oppressed the demon race and treated us like ants. I integrate the demon race to let the Heavenly Court know that we demons are not easy to bully.

Only by making them fear us can our demon race have a foothold.”

Wukong frowned and said:

“Your idea is too extreme. Although the Heavenly Court has many faults, it is not unchangeable. If the problem can be solved peacefully, why bother with war?
I wonder how many innocent lives will be lost in this battle of yours. Is this what you want to see?”

The Bull Demon King disagreed and loudly retorted:

“Peace? In this world where the weak are the prey of the strong, strength is the only thing that matters. If I don’t fight back, am I going to watch the demon race being oppressed forever?”

Wukong looked at the Bull Demon King and said with a firm gaze:
“Bull Demon King, I know you have hatred in your heart, but hatred will only bring more pain and disaster. How about we put aside our prejudices and work together to find a way for the demon race and the heavenly court to coexist peacefully?”

The Bull Demon King sneered and said:

“Hmph, you are so easy to say. You and I have different positions and we cannot work together. You invited me here today, if you just want to say this nonsense, then don’t blame me, the Bull Demon King, for being rude!”

All of a sudden.

The atmosphere between the two seemed to become somewhat tense.

The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast and the two demon kings behind the Bull Demon King were all on high alert at this moment, as if someone was about to take action.

The monkeys and grandchildren behind Wukong also had serious expressions on their faces.

At last.

Wukong took the initiative to break the tense atmosphere, picked up the wine glass and said:
“Today, I am not here to fight you. I just want to get to know you. There is no need for us to do this. This is the best monkey wine brewed by my son. Brother Niu, please come and taste it!”

The Bull Demon King did not disrespect Wukong’s face. He nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank it.

Afterwards, the two chatted with each other, deliberately avoiding sensitive topics, but they were actually having a great time and the atmosphere was excellent.
