Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong’s fate
Chapter 127 - 127 127 Dare to Take on Old Sun One-on-One

127: Chapter 127: Dare to Take on Old Sun One-on-One 127: Chapter 127: Dare to Take on Old Sun One-on-One At this moment, at the Southern Heaven Gate, the battle had already reached a fever pitch.

Even though Sun Wukong was trapped from all sides, with no way to advance or retreat, he continued to fight more ferociously, his peach tree wood staff unleashing terrifying destructive power.

The approaching Demon-Subduing Army was flung backward by his powerful strikes.

With a thunderous boom,

a deafening roar resounded.

The Demon-Subduing Army even took several steps back, their gazes toward Sun Wukong now laced with a hint of wariness.

Under Pagoda-Carrying celestial King Li Jing’s command, they wielded formidable strength.

Furthermore, with their well-coordinated formation that even claimed the lives of Ancient Great Demons, they were known as a major force in the celestial Court.

Yet now, they found themselves at an impasse against Sun Wukong.

Even Pagoda-Carrying celestial King Li Jing was somewhat astonished.

In fact, it wasn’t just him; even the recently arrived Nine Heavens God of Heaven Wen Zhong was surprised.

Although the macaque only exuded the peak aura of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, his capabilities were indeed impressive.

With his multifaceted divine skills and his staff, he unleashed immense strength, capable of standing toe-to-toe with early Daluo Golden Immortal realm opponents.

Each swing of his staff could shake the Demon Army’s formation.

Similarly, even when Pagoda-Carrying celestial King Li Jing tried to suppress him with the Exquisite Pagoda, it continued to be violently struck, constantly thundering.

As Wen Zhong led the Thunder Department to the scene, the Righteous Gods of the Fire and Plague Departments also arrived outside the Southern Heaven Gate.

They watched the Demon-Subduing Army led by celestial King Li Jing engage Sun Wukong.

Outside, the Righteous Gods of the Thunder Department led by Wen Zhong had set up the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Great Formation.

The deities of the Plague and Fire Departments seemed to have no intention of intervening.

They both achieved enlightenment before Ancient Times, and during the battle of Divine Enthronement, they had already become renowned between heaven and earth.

Now, to join forces against a mere monkey seemed beneath them.

Following the arrival of the Righteous Gods of the Fire and Plague Departments, twenty-eight figures arrived swiftly, each of different appearances and carrying treasures – they were the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

They were considered Great Cultivators with resounding names throughout the Three Realms.

Following them were the Nine Luminaries and the celestial Soldiers and Generals led by the Twelve Yuan Chen.

Before long, the Four Great Marshals of the Ninth celestial Palace also arrived with treasures.

Seeing Sun Wukong wielding his staff with such formidable power left them somewhat incredulous.

They had long known that Sun Wukong’s cultivation level was at the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, but they were unaware he could be so valiant.

Rumble!

At that moment, Sun Wukong swung his staff again, releasing terrifying power, and even the formidable formation surrounding him collapsed under his strike.

At this instant, the Demon-Subduing Army no longer had anything that could withstand or constrain Sun Wukong; they could only encircle him and engage in direct combat.

But with so many celestial Court deities present, they naturally were unafraid.

However, Sun Wukong himself was not in the least disheartened.

Despite the oppressive might of so many celestial Court deities, he remained unfazed, his staff movements protecting his surroundings, and he was still not at a disadvantage.

Outsiders might not notice anything amiss, but the Demon-Subduing Army fighting Sun Wukong felt a tremendous shock in their hearts.

Although the macaque appeared to be only at the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, the burst of power was comparable to the later stages of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

In addition to the power of his staff, they simply could not get close to him.

And those who exchanged blows with Sun Wukong felt that he was not even using his full strength.

This feeling was strange, only perceived by those who were closest to Sun Wukong in the battle.

“Strange!”

Initially, the late-stage cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal was not considered much, but now the Demon-Subduing Army found it somewhat unbearable.

Pagoda-Carrying celestial King Li Jing, who was commanding the Exquisite Pagoda, also furrowed his brows.

Could this macaque truly only be a Taiyi Golden Immortal?

Despite his army and Pagoda suppression, Sun Wukong could still resist so tenaciously.

Clearly, Sun Wukong was like a small boat in a raging sea, seemingly prone to capsize at any moment, yet now he was extraordinarily unwavering.

Each time the Demon-Subduing Army and Li Jing thought they could suppress and capture him, Sun Wukong always managed to evade them.

Wen Zhong also frowned, having waited for a while and now uninterested in waiting any longer.

“Prepare the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!” he ordered.

As Wen Zhong spoke, the Righteous Gods of the Thunder Department hesitated.

One of the Thunder Department Star Lords spoke up, saying, “Grand Tutor, His Majesty’s decree is to capture this demon monkey and bring him back to the Ninth celestial Palace for punishment.

If we use the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, I fear it might be…

excessive.”

Wen Zhong glanced at Sun Wukong, who was still fiercely fighting, and then said in a low voice, “No matter, with Sun Wukong’s strength, it is unlikely he would die easily from the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

But take care not to injure our allies!”

Observing the tight struggle between the Demon-Subduing Army and Sun Wukong, Wen Zhong offered this reminder amidst the chaos.

The Thunder Department Star Lord obeyed, immediately joining with the other Star Lords of the Thunder Department to set up the formation.

In that instant, the clouds above began to tremble subtly, as the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Great Formation quivered.

In its midst, purple lightning bolts began to brew, ascending within the formation.

In the center of the battlefield, the Demon-Subduing Army, grasping celestial halberds, charged directly toward Sun Wukong.

After all, with the numerous troops of the Demon-Subduing Army, the descending celestial halberds unleashed a terrifying presence.

They occasionally struck Sun Wukong as well.

Clang, clang, clang—the sounds rang out, sparks flew in an instant, and the roar of metal clashing filled the air.

The Demon-Subduing Army soldier holding the celestial halberd felt a sharp pain in his palm and almost threw the halberd straight out of his hand.

The celestial halberds in their hands were considered Immortal weapons, mighty in power.

They doubled the efficiency of slaying spirits and souls.

Although they weren’t Spiritual Treasures, they were rare treasures nonetheless.

Over the years, countless demons and monsters had died at the hands of their celestial halberds.

However, they hadn’t expected to meet their match against Sun Wukong.

Despite that, they managed to force Sun Wukong to take a step back.

Although Sun Wukong’s Art of Transformation made him almost recklessly fearless of threats and attacks, under such a barrage, naturally, some flaws were exposed.

Seeing Sun Wukong’s retreat, the Demon-Subduing Army spotted this vulnerability.

“Perfect opportunity, attack together and capture this macaque!”

At that moment, one of the Demon-Subduing Army soldiers, upon witnessing this scene, was overjoyed and rushed toward Sun Wukong.

Their weapons grew even more frenzied in their assault on Sun Wukong.

But just when they seemed to have the upper hand, Sun Wukong recovered somewhat and quickly dodged.

However, due to the overwhelming numbers, Sun Wukong couldn’t avoid being struck several times, which made him grimace in pain.

He then retracted his staff and with a sweeping motion, flung it out, sending a terrifying force sweeping around him.

With a loud boom!

The terrifying force swept out.

It sent the nearby Demon-Subduing Army soldiers flying.

However, it was also evident that Sun Wukong’s aura had weakened, as if his mana was running low.

In that moment, he was hit by several more attacks from the Demon-Subduing Army.

His figure was sent flying.

“Quick, quick, quick, the demon monkey is finally at his limit.

Attack together and seize this demon monkey at once!”

Li Jing, standing in the void, couldn’t help but rejoice upon seeing this and promptly shouted.

With Sun Wukong appearing drained of mana, the Nine Luminaries and Twelve Yuan Chen also joined the fray at that moment.

Since the Plague Department and the Fire Division prided themselves on their status, they disdained joining forces for a communal kill of Sun Wukong.

However, for the Nine Luminaries and Twelve Yuan Chen, this was of no concern.

Seeing that Sun Wukong was at the end of his rope, they naturally wanted to take part, lest they miss out on any credit.

“You self-proclaimed orthodox deities of the celestial Court, ganging up on Old Sun one after another?

What sort of skill is that?

If you have the ability, fight Old Sun one-on-one!”

However, at that moment, Sun Wukong groggily stood up from the ground, urgency apparent on his face, and with a sudden shout, he swept his staff horizontally.

The approaching Demon-Subduing Army hurriedly dodged, fearing getting caught in the blast.

In that brief gap, Sun Wukong spun around and, with a flash, charged toward the Southern Heaven Gate.

To everyone watching, it seemed Sun Wukong was now panicking.

This was the first time they had seen Sun Wukong forsake the battle and flee toward the Southern Heaven Gate; the orthodox deities of the celestial Court were also elated by this sight.

This further confirmed that this was no doubt the true Monkey King himself.

At that time, the Twenty-Eight Constellations and the Four Great Marshals of the Ninth celestial Palace also moved to surround Sun Wukong; they were unwilling to let him just escape through the Southern Heaven Gate before their eyes.

Even as Sun Wukong faced this situation, he couldn’t help but turn pale, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, showing that the injuries had reached a critical level.

The excited orthodox deities of the celestial Court couldn’t help but get more agitated upon seeing this—Sun Wukong had actually been seriously wounded.

The deities outside the Southern Heaven Gate also grew excited.

They increased their efforts to wield their treasures, attacking Sun Wukong relentlessly.

“You shameless celestial Court deities, if you’re brave enough, face Old Sun one-on-one!

Bullying with numbers, what kind of skill is that?”

Sun Wukong couldn’t help but curse loudly at this time.

Hearing Sun Wukong’s curses, those celestial Court deities grew even more stimulated.

If it wasn’t the true Monkey King, there would be no need for this!

After all, they would have done the same in such a situation, perhaps they’d be even more ruthless than Sun Wukong was now.

“You have no shame!!!”
