Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 319 Father and Son

"Ok?"

"how is this possible?"

Yuan Hong was a little surprised to see that his great magical power of "taking the sun and the moon" could not injure the monster in front of him, and that the sun, moon and stars he picked were all swallowed by the monster.

Yuan Hong never expected that the innate magical powers he had practiced for many years would be ineffective in front of this "unknown person".

An unprecedented sense of frustration and curiosity intertwined together, making his eyes even sharper.

"Roar!"

In a rage, Yuan Hong let out a long roar towards the sky, his voice like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, shaking the entire sky of Uttarakuru.

As the whistle sounded, Yuan Hong's figure began to change dramatically.

I saw a dazzling white rainbow cutting through the sky and rapidly approaching Xiao Chen. It was a manifestation of Yuan Hong's extreme fusion of his own magic power and the "Eight-Nine Profound Art".

In the white rainbow, Yuan Hong's figure gradually became clear.

He has completely transformed into a huge white ape, emitting white light all over his body. His eyes are like bright stars, flashing with strong fighting spirit.

The long stick in his hand also changed, turning into a tumbling dragon, with blazing flames wrapped around its body, and sweeping towards Xiao Chen with a whistling sound of wind.

Yuan Hong obviously wanted to engage in close combat with Xiao Chen, and the outcome would be decided by physical strength.

The reason why Yuan Hong is so confident is that he possesses the peerless magical power of "Eight-Nine Profound Art".

Once this "Eight-Nine Profound Art" is mastered, one will be invulnerable to swords and spears, immune to water and fire, and will be almost invincible.

Unless you have a magic weapon like the "Flying Knife of Immortal Slaying", it would be difficult to hurt him at all.

Now that his true form as the Monkey King is here, he is naturally fearless and is ready to compete with Xiao Chen.

"Yuan Hong, who is proficient in the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts... is almost equivalent to another Yang Jian."

After fighting with Yuan Hong, Xiao Chen also felt that things were getting troublesome.

Although he had many magic weapons, facing a strong man like Yuan Hong who was proficient in the Eight-Nine Profound Art, ordinary acquired spiritual treasures could not hurt him at all.

Nezha's Nine Dragons Fire Cover can release the Samadhi Fire to burn everything. Wei Hu's Demon Subduing Pestle weighs 84,000 kilograms once it is used, and is incredibly powerful... but neither of them can hurt Yuan Hong.

Xiao Chen knew in his heart that the only things that could pose a real threat to Yuan Hong were those innate spiritual treasures that were primarily used for killing or control.

He did have such a magic weapon in his hand - the "Yin Yang Qi Bottle". Perhaps he could find a way to capture Yuan Hong in it, and then kill him and refine him.

"Yin Yang Qi Bottle..."

This thought flashed through Xiao Chen's mind, but Xiao Chen quickly denied it.

This really doesn't make any sense.

Not to mention, Yuan Hong is now a famous god on the List of Gods, and his soul is immortal.

Even if one manages to put Yuan Hong into the bottle, one may not be able to actually kill him. Instead, it may cause even greater trouble.

What’s more, more importantly, Xiao Chen took a fancy to this giant long-armed monster and wanted to recruit him as his subordinate.

If he had appeared in front of the giant long-armed monster, he would have swallowed Yuan Hong to death.

Then there is no need to collect it.

The only thing King Golden Horn could do was to wipe out the entire issue and kill the long-armed monster together with the other monster.

This...is not what he wants.

But at the same time, Xiao Chen is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is not afraid of water or fire, so Yuan Hong cannot hurt Xiao Chen at all.

The battle has entered a white-hot stage.

For a while.

The mountains were shattered and the rivers stopped flowing.

The fight between the two monsters became more and more intense.

The duel between Yuan Hong and Xiao Chen was like a peak confrontation between two towering mountains, shocking everything around them.

Yuan Hong was eager to save his son, so he attacked with all his might, putting his all into every move. His pair of iron arms were like lightning in a storm, and every swing carried the power to destroy the world.

However, Xiao Chen, relying on his invulnerable body, his ability to resist water and fire, and his superb martial arts, was like an indestructible rock, standing firm no matter how fierce the wind and rain.

Xiao Chen resolved Yuan Hong's attacks time and time again and launched a counterattack against Yuan Hong.

The two monsters each used their best abilities, and after fighting for sixty or seventy rounds, Yuan Hong gradually fell into a disadvantage.

As time went by, Yuan Hong gradually felt overwhelmed.

Although Yuan Hong was eager to save his son, he tried his best.

However, this was just a ray of his divine power attached to his body, not his full power.

How much of his strength can he display?
However, after this fight, Yuan Hong also had an understanding of Xiao Chen's strength.

The monster in front of him not only has a strong body and profound magical powers, but also has extremely superb fighting skills.

Its strength was far beyond his expectations.

Yuan Hong knew very well that with the strength of this monster, he was worthy of being called a great demon king in Uttarakuru.

Outside of the area of ​​Beijuluzhou, there is the overlord of the demon world in that continent.

Thinking of this, Yuan Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to win today.

After Yuan Hong fought with Xiao Chen again, he feinted with his stick and turned into a white rainbow to quickly distance himself. He looked at the long-armed monster beside him, his eyes full of love and reluctance.

There are rules in heaven.

As a deity, he is bound by the rules of heaven and cannot descend to the mortal world at will, unless he is on official business.

Show up in the lower world to subdue demons, this is a chance to show your power in front of people and earn incense.

The Heavenly Palace is a place where people deal with social relationships and rely on background connections. No matter how good you are at fighting... it's useless. A higher-ranking official can crush anyone to death.

With Yuan Hong's arrogant character, he naturally could not do anything to flatter his superiors.

However, he is a miscellaneous star god and cannot compare with the Jade Emperor's direct star gods. Generally, the Jade Emperor would not send him to the human world to subdue demons to earn this incense.

After all, he came down to the mortal world this time only by borrowing the clay statue, and he couldn't stay there for long.

Moreover, he would consume a lot of incense power when he went to the mortal world.

If this clay statue had not been worshipped day and night by the monkeys from Meishan in the past, thus accumulating so much power from the incense, he would not have been able to descend to the mortal world and could only stay in heaven.

When the time comes and the power of the incense in this clay statue is exhausted, he will return to heaven, and no one knows when he will come back to the mortal world again.

What about his son?
Seeing Yuan Hong retreat, Xiao Chen stopped chasing him and looked at Yuan Hong.

"Father!"

"I miss you."

Yuan Hong's son, named Yuan Tong, broke the silence of the air with his crying voice.

Yuan Tong stumbled to Yuan Hong, knelt on his knees, and looked up at his father with tears in his eyes.

His eyes were filled with excitement, awe, and deep longing.

When Yuan Hong was killed, he was still a child, just a little monkey on Meishan Mountain.

He only knew that his father had been fighting with Yang Jian and was ambushed by Yang Jian.

The only one who came back was his father, his cold body torn apart.

Even more hateful.

That Yang Jian never beat his father.

In the end, Yang Jian used the magic weapon to deceive his father and then plotted against his father.

This hatred is so deep in my heart, how can I get rid of it?
Conferred the gods, what conferred the gods.

Being a slave on the Investiture of the Gods for life is not as good as being a king in the underworld.

Ha ha……

Yuan Tong deeply hated Yang Jian, a despicable villain who couldn't defeat his father and played tricks behind his back.

The hatred of the father is the hatred of the son!
This hatred will never fade away!
One day, Yuan Tong will cut off Yang Jian's head to avenge his father!
There shouldn't be only the head of the gibbon monkey under the guillotine, there should also be that of Yang Jian.

He made friends with the "Tian Gou" clan because he heard that Yang Jian had a "Roaring Sky Dog".

Next time when he fights Yang Jian, he can use "Heavenly Dog" to fight against "Roaring Sky Dog" so that he will not suffer a loss.

Before Yang Jian, he often went to the three major continents, namely Nanshanbuzhou, Dongshengshenzhou and Xiniuhezhou, to fight monsters.

He understood that he was no match for Yang Jian at the moment, and he was also afraid that once he saw Yang Jian, he would not be able to suppress the hatred in his heart and would go up to fight Yang Jian.

That is undoubtedly like a moth flying into a flame, which is meaningless.

So stupid.

So, he fled to the Northern Continent to develop.

The day when Yuan Tong leaves Northern Juluzhou, that will be the time for a decisive battle with Yang Jian!
His father's hatred, his father's resentment, his father's regret!

He, Yuan Tong, came to report!
"Tong'er, your father misses you too."

Yuan Hong called softly, his eyes full of love and tenderness. He called his son's name softly, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of longing.

His eyes were as gentle as water, full of love and doting on Yuan Tong.

Yuan Hong slowly stretched out his hands, those hands that once wielded iron rods, fought against heaven and earth, and were invincible.

Now he just stroked Yuan Tong's head gently and tenderly.

Just like when he was a child, giving him comfort and strength.

Yuan Tong's tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, and he choked up and said:

"I am sorry to disturb you."

"After the Zhou army killed you, they abandoned you in the wilderness."

"It was the uncles and aunts from Meishan. They knew you were fighting with the Zhou army. After the Zhou army left, they searched everywhere and finally found your body and collected it for you."

"I have always wanted to see you again, and I didn't expect it to come true today."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Yuan Hong chuckled, his words revealing his helplessness towards life in heaven and his deep longing for his son:

"This heaven is lonely, with many rules, and I am not free."

"It's rare for me to come down to the mortal world and see you."

"Seeing that you are doing well now, I am relieved."

Yuan Hong's words were full of relief. His eyes moved over Yuan Tong and he looked at him carefully again, as if he wanted to remember every change in his son.

"Hey……"

Then, Yuan Hong sighed softly, somewhat helplessly, and his expression became firm and serious, as if at this moment, he had made some crucial decision.

Yuan Hong turned around and looked at Xiao Chen, his eyes that had experienced many vicissitudes of life sparkling with wisdom.

"May I know your name?"

Yuan Hong asked, seemingly evaluating Xiao Chen's qualifications and abilities.

Xiao Chen responded with a smile that showed some confidence and composure. He said:
"My name is Jinjiao, and my nickname is King Jinjiao." His apparent identity is King Jinjiao. He is still a good monster with a clean record. He just occupies a mountain and becomes the king. He has not committed any major crime, so he is not afraid.

Besides, he now lives in Uttarakuru, which is not under the jurisdiction of Heaven and Lingshan. He is very free and has nothing to be afraid of.

It’s different in the past.

Even if all his affairs were exposed, he now had a foothold in Uttarakuru, and he would not be in a hurry to run to Uttarakuru.

"King of the Golden Horn..."

When Yuan Hong heard this, his eyes flickered and he seemed to be weighing something.

After a while.

Yuan Hong slowly said
"King Jinjiao, I will let my son Yuan Tong follow you from now on."

"Can you be kind to him?"

There was a hint of helplessness in Yuan Hong's tone, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

After all, if a monster can become a monster king, who would be willing to be a monster general?

But this... there is really nothing we can do about it.

He couldn't defeat the monster for the time being, and he couldn't stay in the underworld for long. What else could he do?
He could only let his son join the Golden Horn King in order to protect himself.

This is already the best solution.

There is really no other way.

However, Yuan Hong also realized that with the ability of the Golden Horn King, if he really wanted to kill his son Yuan Tong, he would have killed him long ago, so why would he go to so much trouble?

Obviously he wanted to recruit his son as his subordinate.

But this...is also a good thing.

He is from the Longgibbon monkey clan and his talent is absolutely first-rate. As long as he grows up, he will become an unparalleled monster.

This King of the Golden Horn is quite powerful.

If his son could grow up safely under the protection of the Golden Horn King.

In this sense, it is a good thing for his son.

"That's natural."

"If you surrender to me, I will treat you well."

Xiao Chenkai made a promise to Yuan Hong.

"it is good."

Yuan Hong looked at Yuan Tong, patted Yuan Tong on the shoulder and said:
"Tong'er, go ahead."

"I can't stay in the lower world for long. It's time to go."

Yuan Tong felt mixed emotions when he heard this.

Although he was unwilling to lose his own mountain and become a demon general for others, he could not disobey his father's orders.

Besides, my father can’t beat him, so...what else can I do?
Yuan Tong took a deep breath, tried to suppress his inner emotions, walked in front of Xiao Chen, knelt down reluctantly, and said:

"Yuan Tong has paid homage to the Golden Horn King."

Xiao Chen didn't care either.

After all, this matter is about me taking over someone else's territory, so it's normal for others to have a bad temper.

The head is on someone else's head, so how can you stop others from having a temper?

and.

This is the Tonggi Ape, one of the four mischievous monkeys in the world.

The Tonggi Ape is a gifted monkey, and like the Spirit Stone Monkey, they are both masters that will never easily submit to humans.

How could he not have a strong and proud character?
What is a peerless genius?

The gibbon macaque in front of us is a peerless genius.

In order to obtain a statue of Fighting Buddha transformed from a spirit stone monkey, the Western Buddha Tathagata had to go to great lengths and effort, such as suppressing the spirit stone monkey for five hundred years, feeding it iron balls and copper juice, and putting a tight hoop on the monkey... and so on.

What’s more, he was trying to conquer a monkey called Tongbi Ape, which was also one of the Four Mischievous Monkeys.

If King Jinjiao wants to subdue such a peerless genius, he cannot be impatient and needs to take his time.

The first thing... naturally is to recruit him as a subordinate, determine the order of priority, and then slowly win over and tame this long-armed ape.

Just like the black bear demon under his command, he will trick the black bear demon over first.

As for the future, how to use this black bear spirit to slowly trick people and then slowly brainwash them.

Once you get on a pirate ship, it's naturally difficult to get off.

The longest road that the black bear demon has traveled is the routine of the Golden Horn King.

At this time, some polite words are essential.

At this time, we should learn from Liu Bei...or Cao Cao.

As Cao Cao said:

“The mountains never get too high, and the sea never gets too deep.”

"Duke Zhou vomits and feeds, and the world returns to its heart."

So, Xiao Chen hurriedly dropped the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, stepped forward quickly, and helped Yuan Tong up from the ground.

Xiao Chen's face was filled with genuine sincerity and joy, as if it was his wedding night or a great occasion like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Xiao Chen supported Yuan Tong and said:

"Having General Yuan Tong is like a long drought finally ending in a downpour. I am so happy that I cannot express it in words!"

Xiao Chen's voice was loud and emotional, and every word contained his importance and expectations for Yuan Tong.

Xiao Chen continued:

"I really regret not meeting you earlier!"

There was a hint of regret in Xiao Chen's tone, as if he really regretted not having met Yuan Tong earlier.

"I hope we can gather together on the same mountain and work together for a great cause!"

"With the general's help, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing great things!"

Xiao Chen's words were full of ambition and passion, as if he had already seen the scene of himself and Yuan Tong fighting side by side to conquer the demon world together.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tong's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart:
"What's this early meeting?"

"If possible, this...it's better for us not to meet."

Although he appeared to be convinced by Xiao Chen, the reluctance and arrogance in his heart had not completely dissipated.

Yuan Hong felt mixed emotions when he saw this.

Yuan Hong knew the reluctance and arrogance in his son's heart, but reality forced him to make such a choice.

Yuan Hong understood that he could not stay in the lower world for long and had to make plans for his son's future.

Yuan Hong and Xiao Chen looked at each other, their eyes filled with complicated emotions.

There was reluctance, expectation, and also a warning to Xiao Chen.

Yuan Hong and Xiao Chen looked at each other and reminded again:

"King Jinjiao, please treat my son well."

"Although he is young, he has the blood of my Tonggi Ape clan flowing in his body. He is gifted and will become a great man in the future!"

Xiao Chen also promised again:
"must."

Subsequently.

Yuan Hong raised his head to the sky and howled, transmitting his voice to all directions:
"Four Waste Star Lord Yuan Hong, I have the audacity to come to Northern Juluzhou today and disturb all the demon elders. This is really a helpless move."

"I hope all the demon elders will not blame my son Yuan Tong."

"He is young and ignorant. If he has offended anyone, Yuan Hong is willing to damage the temple and apologize to all the seniors here."

"From now on, I, Yuan Hong, will no longer have any relationship with this Yuan Tong!"

"No contact."

Yuan Hong's voice echoed in the air of Uttarakuru, carrying with it deep helplessness and determination.

As soon as the words fell, a white light flashed.

Yuan Hong’s “Monkey General” temple exploded instantly in full view of everyone and turned into nothing.

Yuan Hong destroyed his own temple.

This is Yuan Hong's way of expressing his attitude to the demons of Northern Juluzhou:

"I will not set foot here again, nor will I have any contact with my son, let alone interfere in his affairs."

From then on, Yuan Hong and his son severed all ties.

Yuan Hong knew very well that his son's act of privately setting up a temple in Uttarakuru to worship the star gods and immortals in heaven was ultimately a violation of the big taboo of the demon clan in Uttarakuru.

This is undoubtedly treason.

What's more, Yuan Hong is now a god on the List of Gods and one of the Four Wasted Star Gods.

No matter what his previous position was.

After all, he is now just a slave under the Heavenly Court's List of Gods and cannot move freely.

Whatever he wants to do and whatever he can do is ultimately restricted by the List of Gods.

It's not entirely up to him.

And his son is a monster from the underworld.

He couldn't protect his son.

Even if one day, the Heavenly Court asked him to encircle and suppress his son, would he be able to refuse?

Does he have the right to refuse?

Hey……

Although he and Yuan Tong are father and son, their positions are completely different.

He was afraid that his son would be ostracized by the demons in Uttarakuru, and he was even more afraid that his identity would bring more trouble to his son in Uttarakuru.

The demon and the god are separated and can never meet again.

Although his son later became a demon general and was controlled by others, at least he was still in the underworld and could enjoy a free and easy life there.

This is much happier than being imprisoned by the List of Gods in Heaven, without freedom and sentenced to life imprisonment.

His clan of gibbon monkeys would not be extinct.

Father as a mountain.

A father’s care for his son is far-reaching and cannot be expressed in words.
