I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

"Heavenly retribution?"

Jiang Wang said disdainfully, "I no longer care about the punishment of Heaven. Today, I will make the Three Realms pay the price for the suffering I endured back then! Guanyin Bodhisattva, since you insist on meddling in my affairs, then I will cripple you first, and then deal with Tang Sanzang!"

As he spoke, Jiang Wang raised his hand, and a ball of black energy condensed in his palm. The black energy grew stronger and stronger, carrying a powerful destructive force, and he slapped it towards Guanyin.

Guanyin dared not be careless. She put her hands together, silently chanted a mantra, and a golden barrier appeared around her, blocking Jiang Wang's attack.

With a deafening roar, the black mist and golden light collided, generating a powerful shockwave. The thatched hut was instantly reduced to rubble, and Tang Sanzang was thrown to the ground by the shockwave.

Guanyin took a few steps back, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Clearly, she had also been injured by Jiang Wang's attack.

"Hahaha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, your power is nothing more than this!"

Jiang Wang laughed loudly, raised his hand again, and gathered even more powerful black energy in his palm, preparing to attack Guanyin again.

Just then, a golden light flew from afar at great speed and instantly landed beside Guanyin, supporting her.

As the golden light dissipated, a figure wearing golden armor and holding a golden cudgel was revealed – it was none other than Sun Wukong!

"Goku!"

When Tang Sanzang saw Sun Wukong, his eyes were filled with joy and he excitedly shouted.

Guanyin smiled and said, "Wukong, you're finally back!"

Sun Wukong turned around, looked at Tang Sanzang, scratched his head, and showed a hint of guilt on his face. He said, "Master, I am an unfilial disciple. I have made you and my fellow disciples wait for fourteen years and caused you so much suffering. I know I was wrong!"

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Tang Sanzang was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He said, "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters. Master doesn't blame you. Master doesn't blame you!"

Jiang Wang looked at the suddenly appearing Sun Wukong, his eyes turned cold, and his tone was tinged with surprise as he said, "Sun Wukong? You actually managed to escape from my seal? It seems I underestimated you."

Sun Wukong turned to look at Jiang Wang, his eyes turning cold. He gripped his golden cudgel tightly and said, "Jiang Wang, you old monster, how dare you kidnap me, hurt my master and fellow disciples, and even sabotage the journey to the West! Today, I, Old Sun, will definitely teach you a lesson and avenge my master and fellow disciples!"

"Take care of me?"

Jiang Wang scoffed and said, "Sun Wukong, do you think you can defeat me just because you escaped? Back when you wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, you were just a greenhorn. Even if your cultivation has improved over the past fourteen years, you are still no match for me!"

"Whether someone is your match or not, you'll find out after you try!"

Sun Wukong roared, raised his golden cudgel, and charged towards Jiang Wang.

The golden cudgel streaked through the air with tremendous force, hurtling towards Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang dared not be careless and raised his hand to block the golden cudgel. With a loud "boom", Jiang Wang took a few steps back and felt a sharp pain in his palm. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes and he said, "I didn't expect your cultivation to have improved so much. It seems that you have indeed obtained a lot of opportunities in these fourteen years."

"That's natural!"

Sun Wukong laughed loudly and said, "I was trapped in your seal, but instead of giving up, I took the opportunity to repair my original power and improve my cultivation. Today, I will show you how powerful I am!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong raised his golden cudgel again and charged towards Jiang Wang. He swung the cudgel faster and faster, and beams of golden light slammed towards Jiang Wang. Jiang Wang was not to be outdone. He gathered black energy in his palm and collided with Sun Wukong's golden cudgel. In an instant, golden light and black energy intertwined, and loud noises continued, causing the entire world to tremble.

Guanyin helped Tang Sanzang to Bajie and Sha Wujing, checked their injuries, and said, "Elder, Bajie and Sha Wujing are only seriously injured, but their lives are not in danger. I will heal them later, and they will wake up."

Tang Sanzang nodded, his gaze fixed on the fight between Sun Wukong and Jiang Wang, his eyes filled with worry. He said, "Although Wukong's cultivation has improved, Jiang Wang is an ancient great power with immense strength. Wukong is probably no match for him. What should we do?"

"Don't worry, Elder."

Guanyin said, "Wukong has boundless potential. Moreover, the Jade Emperor and the Buddha have already summoned the immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms and will arrive soon. When that happens, we can join forces and defeat Jiang Wang."

Just then, Sun Wukong was suddenly struck by Jiang Wang's palm, sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood, and his golden cudgel fell to the side.

"Goku!"

Guanyin said, "Wukong has only suffered a minor injury; he will be fine."

Jiang Wang walked up to Sun Wukong, looked down at him, and said with a mocking smile, "Sun Wukong, I told you, you are no match for me."

Today, I will cripple your cultivation, so that you will never be able to hinder me again!

As he spoke, Jiang Wang raised his hand, gathering black energy in his palm, preparing to strike Sun Wukong.

Just at this critical moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky, and countless golden lights flew in from afar, densely packed and covering the sky. The Jade Emperor and the Buddha Tathagata, along with the immortals and Buddhas of Heaven and Mount Ling, arrived at this place.

"Jiang Wang, stop!"

The Jade Emperor roared, his voice majestic, which made Jiang Wang tremble.

The Buddha Tathagata also spoke slowly, saying, "Jiang Wang, you are stubborn and dare to openly defy the Heavenly Dao and harm those who are on their way to obtain the scriptures. Today, we will act on behalf of Heaven and reseal you to restore peace to the Three Realms!"

Jiang Wang turned to look at the immortals and Buddhas in the sky, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, but it quickly returned to its coldness. He said, "Hahaha, you're nothing but a bunch of clowns, daring to talk about acting on behalf of Heaven in front of me? Today, I will make all of you die here!"

As he spoke, Jiang Wang's black aura surged, and a powerful pressure swept across the entire area. The immortals and Buddhas also took out their magic weapons, their bodies glowing with golden light, and confronted Jiang Wang's black aura.

Sun Wukong struggled to his feet, picked up his golden cudgel, walked to Guanyin's side, and said, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, Master, fellow immortals and Buddhas, today, let us join forces to defeat Jiang Wang, protect the peace of the Three Realms, and complete the great mission of obtaining the scriptures!"

Guanyin nodded and said, "Alright! Wukong, if we join forces, we will surely defeat Jiang Wang!"

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together, silently chanting scriptures, and said, "Amitabha, may all immortals and Buddhas unite as one to defeat Jiang Wang, save all sentient beings, and avert the catastrophe in the Three Realms!" The Jade Emperor raised the jade tablet in his hand and said, "All immortals and Buddhas, heed my command! Join forces, defeat Jiang Wang, and reseal him!"

"According to the order!"

All the immortals and Buddhas responded in unison, and then rushed towards Jiang Wang. The golden light and black energy collided again, and an earth-shattering battle officially broke out.

Sun Wukong brandished his golden cudgel, weaving among the immortals and Buddhas, launching attacks on Jiang Wang. Each strike carried immense power. Jiang Wang, not to be outdone, continuously condensed black energy in his palms, counterattacking the attacks of the immortals and Buddhas. In an instant, the heavens and earth resounded with deafening roars, flying debris, and black energy intertwined with golden light, making it impossible to discern the victor.

Guanyin also used her supernatural powers, sprinkling sweet dew from her jade bottle. The dew fell on the immortals and Buddhas, healing their wounds. At the same time, the dew transformed into golden rays, attacking Jiang Wang. Jiang Wang was hit by the dew, and the black aura on his body instantly dissipated, and his face turned somewhat pale.

"hateful!"

Jiang Wang roared, a flash of anger in his eyes. He hadn't expected that the combined power of the immortals and Buddhas would be so strong. Although he was powerful, he had just broken free from the seal and his cultivation had not yet fully recovered. With the combined power of the immortals and Buddhas, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Bajie and Sha Wujing gradually woke up. They saw the immortals and Buddhas fighting with Jiang Wang, and they struggled to get up. Bajie picked up his nine-toothed rake, and Sha Wujing picked up his demon-subduing staff. They rushed towards Jiang Wang and said, "Jiang Wang, you old monster, how dare you hurt us! Today, we, Old Pig and Junior Brother Sha, will teach you a lesson!"

Jiang Wang looked at Bajie and Sha Wujing rushing towards him, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and said, "Two pieces of trash, you dare to come and die again!"

As he spoke, Jiang Wang raised his hand, condensed two balls of black energy, and slapped them towards Bajie and Sha Wujing.

Just then, Sun Wukong suddenly rushed over, brandishing his golden cudgel to disperse the black mist, and said, "Junior brothers, be careful! This old monster is very strong. Don't get close easily. Stay behind me!"

Bajie and Sha Wujing nodded and followed behind Sun Wukong, launching an attack on Jiang Wang together. Although they were not as strong as Jiang Wang, they could still play a role in restraining him.

The Buddha clasped his hands together, silently chanting scriptures. A powerful golden light emanated from his body, transforming into a giant Buddha palm that struck towards Jiang Wang. He said, "Jiang Wang, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but there is always a shore to return to. If you surrender now, this humble monk may spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame this humble monk for being impolite!"

Jiang Wang looked at the approaching Buddha's palm, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes. He knew that the Buddha's palm was incredibly powerful, and if he were hit, he would be seriously injured, and might even be resealed.

But he was not willing to give up. He had struggled for billions of years to break free of the seal, so how could he surrender so easily?

"Buddha, you won't make me surrender!"

Jiang Wang roared, and all the black energy around him burst forth, condensing into a huge black palm that collided with the Buddha's palm.

With a deafening roar, a massive shockwave swept across the entire area, forcing all the immortals and Buddhas to take several steps back. Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing were also thrown to the ground by the shockwave.

The Buddha took a few steps back, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Jiang Wang was also in bad shape; most of the black energy around him dissipated, his face turned as pale as paper, and he staggered back a few steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Jiang Wang, you are already seriously injured. Stop resisting and surrender!"

The Jade Emperor raised the jade tablet in his hand again, preparing to launch an attack.

Jiang Wang looked at the immortals and Buddhas, a trace of despair flashing in his eyes. He knew that he was powerless to change the situation today. If he continued to resist, he would only be resealed by the immortals and Buddhas, and might even be completely destroyed.

But he was not resigned to his fate. He roared at the sky, "Heaven is unjust! I, Jiang Wang, am not resigned! Today, though I have lost, I swear that if one day I break free of the seal again, I will overturn the Heavenly Dao, destroy the Three Realms, and make you all pay the price!"

As he spoke, Jiang Wang prepared to unleash his primordial power, perishing together with all the immortals and Buddhas.

"Oh no! He's about to detonate his primal power!"

Guanyin's expression changed, and she said, "Everyone, quickly step back! If he detonates his primal power, we will all be blown to pieces!"

Upon hearing this, all the immortals and Buddhas retreated, their faces filled with terror.

Sun Wukong quickly helped up Pigsy and Sandy, then retreated to Tang Sanzang and Guanyin's side, saying, "Master, Guanyin Bodhisattva, let's retreat quickly, this old monster wants to die together with us!"

The Buddha's expression was solemn. He said, "We cannot allow him to detonate his primal power, otherwise, the Three Realms will surely suffer annihilation! All immortals and Buddhas, follow me and seal his primal power!"

As he spoke, the Buddha raised his palm again, and golden light surged around him. All the immortals and Buddhas also used their supernatural powers, and beams of golden light converged towards Jiang Wang, forming a huge golden light barrier that enveloped Jiang Wang and prevented him from detonating his primordial power.

Jiang Wang struggled frantically, trying to break free of the golden light barrier and unleash his primal power, but the golden light barrier was too powerful, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free.

"Hahaha, I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"

Jiang Wang's voice was filled with despair and anger. He looked at the immortals and Buddhas, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes, and said, "Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and all of you immortals and Buddhas, I will remember you! If there is an afterlife, I will definitely grind you to dust and avenge you!"

Jiang Wang, your stubbornness and refusal to see the truth have led to this tragic end, which is entirely your own fault.

Today, we will reseal you deep within the chaos, for eternity, never to be reborn!

As he spoke, the Buddha silently chanted a mantra in front of the golden light barrier. The golden light barrier grew stronger and stronger, firmly sealing Jiang Wang's original power. Then, the golden light barrier carried Jiang Wang and slowly flew into the depths of chaos, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

Only after Jiang Wang completely disappeared did the immortals and Buddhas breathe a sigh of relief, withdrawing their supernatural powers and showing signs of exhaustion. Many of them were injured, with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

The Jade Emperor walked to Guanyin's side and said, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, we are very grateful to you for discovering Jiang Wang's conspiracy in time. Otherwise, the Three Realms would have been plunged into chaos, and the great mission of obtaining the scriptures would have failed."

The Buddha also said, "Yes, Guanyin Bodhisattva, you have made a great contribution this time."

Jiang Wang has been resealed, the crisis in the Three Realms has been resolved, and the pilgrimage can resume.

Guanyin smiled and said, "Jade Emperor, Buddha, this is what I should do."

The journey to the West is a great undertaking that concerns all sentient beings in the Three Realms; I have only done my part.

This time, it was thanks to the concerted efforts of all the immortals and Buddhas that we were able to defeat Jiang Wang and reseal him.

Sun Wukong walked up to the assembled immortals and Buddhas, scratched his head, and said, "Thank you all, immortals and Buddhas. If it weren't for you today, I, my master, my fellow disciples, and I would probably all have died at the hands of Jiang Wang." (End of Chapter)
