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

Chapter 385 Confrontation with Yang Jian
Somewhere high in the sky near Guanjiangkou, the night was as dark as ink, with twinkling stars.

A strange light streaked across the night sky, like a silver lightning, streaking across the night sky, incredibly fast, with an unstoppable momentum, heading straight towards Xiao Chen.

The bright and dazzling light was exactly Yang Jian’s “divine eye light”.

In Taoist inner alchemy, the "third eye" corresponds to the "Niwan Palace", which is the place where the primordial spirit gathers. After it is cultivated, it can see the essence of all things and see through the smallest details.

Yang Jian's third eye is an innate magical power due to his "half-god, half-human" bloodline.

This third eye is not only a symbol of Yang Jian breaking through the limitations of his physical body and gaining extraordinary perception, but also a manifestation of his innate spiritual awakening.

Whenever his third eye opens and divine light shines, he has the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, enough to penetrate mountains and split rocks, and is indestructible.

"Sky Eye..."

Seeing this, Xiao Chenchen curled up the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.

The "Golden Pupil of the Sun" in his left eye suddenly activated, and golden light flowed in his eye socket.

Under the cover of the "Mirage Scale Mask".

Xiao Chen used all his strength to activate the "Big Sun Golden Pupil". His entire pupil had turned into a bright golden color with a little sunlight flashing in the middle, just like the rising sun, extremely majestic.

Facing Yang Jian's unstoppable "Heavenly Eye Divine Light", Xiao Chen was not afraid at all. He opened his left eye, and a ray of golden light as bright as the sun shot out instantly, heading straight for the Heavenly Eye Divine Light.

His big golden pupil is extraordinary, it is formed by the fusion of the "sun eye embroidery needle" of the Pleiades star official.

The "Sun Eye Embroidery Needle" was originally made by the Pleiades star official by intercepting the first ray of sunlight emitted from the center of the sun every day and carefully refined in the sun eye.

It contains the essence of the sun, is extremely strong and masculine, and has boundless power.

For those extremely poisonous and evil creatures, such as the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, this "Golden Eye of the Sun" can kill them instantly with just one move, which shows how powerful it is.

But Xiao Chen was not satisfied with this. On this basis, he integrated some "True Sun Fire".

This true fire of the sun is the essence of the sun. It is extremely hot and can burn everything.

Xiao Chen merged it with the Golden Pupil of the Sun, making the Golden Pupil of the Sun's penetrating power even stronger and its power even more astonishing.

When the golden light shot out from Xiao Chen's left eye, wherever it passed, the space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, accompanied by bursts of roars.

The golden light was as bright and dazzling as the sun. Wherever it shone, it was instantly as bright as day, and all the haze and darkness disappeared.

For a while.

Yang Jian's "Heavenly Eye Divine Light" and Xiao Chen's "Great Sun Golden Pupil" met in the air.

Two rays of light, one silver and one gold, faced each other, intertwined and entangled, constantly colliding in the air, just like a silver dragon and a golden dragon fighting and colliding fiercely in the night sky, interweaving with each other to create a magnificent and shocking picture, illuminating the entire night sky.

"Boom!"

With a deafening loud noise.

Where the two rays of light, one silver and one gold, collided, a burst of extremely brilliant light burst out. The light was like a blooming firework, brilliant and colorful, but it also contained a terrifying force that could destroy the world, as if it was going to tear the entire night sky apart.

However, this power did not last long.

After reaching their peak, the two rays of light, one silver and one gold, gradually dimmed and then disappeared into the night sky.

however.

When the residual power of the sky's eye light has not completely dissipated.

The five elements divine thunder summoned by Yang Jian followed closely and arrived with a loud bang.

The sky was instantly illuminated by lightning, as bright as day, and the rumbling thunder was deafening, as if it was going to shake the whole world apart.

The Five Elements Divine Thunder contained the power of the five elements between heaven and earth, intertwined with destructive energy, and it surged like a raging wave, heading straight for Xiao Chen.

Facing this violent thunder attack.

"Refa..."

Xiao Chen was not panicked. His face was calm and his eyes were firm.

He knew very well that the main function of the "Purple Ribbon Fairy Robe" he was wearing was "invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire."

However, when facing such a powerful thunder method, the resistance of "Purple Ribbon Fairy Robe" is relatively weak and it is difficult to resist it completely.

But King Jinjiao also has a magic weapon called the "Green Light Liangyi Lamp".

"Wind and thunder" both belong to the five elements.

In the Book of Changes, Zhen represents thunder and is Yang wood, while Xun represents wind and is Yin wood.

The power of wind and thunder belongs to wood in the five elements.

The Cuiguang Liangyi Lamp has a magical refining power that can directly refine the five elements of magic attacks into yin and yang energies, thereby offsetting most of the magic attacks.

It is a magical weapon that can be immune to most of the damage from the five elements spells. It has extremely strong defense and is the perfect choice to deal with this kind of thunder magic.

The Cuiguang Liangyi Lamp just merged with his sternum and became a part of his body.

"Light, come!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen patted his sternum, and the green light of the Yin-Yang lamp in his robe quietly started up.

Under the wide robe.

An emerald green lamp emerged from his chest and transformed into a bright emerald green light curtain, firmly protecting him.

When the Five Elements Divine Thunder came roaring, Xiao Chen faced the five heavenly thunders head-on, bathing in the lightning.

"Swipe!"

The lightning danced like dragons and snakes, madly attacking the light curtain formed by the green light of the Liangyi Lantern.

However, the light curtain formed by the green yin-yang lamp was as solid as a rock. No matter how violently the five elements divine thunder struck it, it did not move at all.

This is the power of the innate spiritual treasure.

The moment the power of the heavenly thunder touched the light curtain, it was continuously refined by the Green Light Yin-Yang Lamp, transformed into yin and yang energies, and dissipated into the invisible.

Although some of the remaining power of the heavenly thunder still penetrated the light curtain, Xiao Chen's magical body was already extraordinary, so this little bit of residual thunder was just a breeze on his face and he could easily bear it.

Xiao Chen steadily blocked all the Five Elements Divine Thunder summoned by Yang Jian. His figure became more mysterious in the lightning.

at this time.

Xiao Chen was wearing a "mirage scale mask" on his face, which had long since changed his original appearance. In addition, with the cover of the "Ancestral Dragon Pearl", even Yang Jian's divine eye could not see through his true identity.

"Could this demon also be cultivating his physical body?"

Yang Jian couldn't help feeling a little surprised when he saw Xiao Chen was still standing under the bombardment of the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

After all, Yang Jian knew very well that in the Three Realms, there were many big guys, and there were many people with profound cultivation, each of whom displayed his magical powers, which was breathtaking.

However, among these many practitioners, those who truly focus on the way of body refining and cultivate their physical body to the extreme are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

We are all flesh and blood. Who can be truly invulnerable to swords and guns and not afraid of weapons?
In Yang Jian's opinion, most of the cultivators, no matter how high their realms were, would find it difficult to resist his extremely sharp swordsmanship once he got close to them.

Yang Jian's sword is as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder.

No matter who he is, when Yang Jian stabs him with a knife, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, there is not much difference.

Even those powerful warriors with profound cultivation could rarely survive his sword.

When Yang Jian chops with his sword, their heads will fall off. This is the power of his body refining method.

Without him.

People who practice body training have extremely high defense and extremely swift physical attacks.

As strong as Kong Xuan, who was praised as "the first person under the saint", his cultivation was profound and his supernatural powers were vast, which were rare in the Three Realms.

However, even so, Kong Xuan was not invulnerable, and his fragility was not an exaggeration.

Back then, Deng Chanyu, a woman, was able to accurately hit Kong Xuan on the back of the head with a stone. This scene was truly shocking.

Although Kong Xuan was so powerful, he could not escape this disaster. He was seriously injured by Deng Chanyu and had to retreat in defeat.

This is enough to show that even a strong person has his weaknesses, and once hit, he will suffer serious damage.

In the world of Journey to the West, such examples are countless.

Even those practitioners whose realm is far higher than Yang Jian, such as Taishang Laojun, Zhen Yuanzi and other top beings in the three realms, although they have the ability to reach heaven and earth, they will inevitably fall into a passive position if they are approached by a warrior like Yang Jian.

Yang Jian is a man who practices body training, his defense is extremely high and his attack is extremely fierce.

If he got close, even Taishang Laojun, Zhen Yuanzi and others would probably be thrown headfirst by him, Yang Jian.

This is not Yang Jian being arrogant.

This is how it is in the world of Journey to the West, the battle situation changes rapidly.

Realm is only one aspect of measuring combat power, not an absolute factor.

Once a warrior gets close to a mage, he will be like a tiger trapped in plain water and can be easily trampled upon by the warrior.

Therefore, although Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is powerful, his magic power is boundless and his supernatural powers are vast.

But no matter where Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva goes, she always brings with her a guardian monk, Mu Zha, by her side.

"Dharmakāra", as the name suggests, is the protector of Buddhism, who upholds the Buddha's Dharma.

The Fighting Buddha Sun Wukong does not need this kind of guardian practitioner, because he himself is the strongest guardian of Buddhism.

The guardian monk Mu Zha is the personal bodyguard of Guanyin Bodhisattva, protecting her from close threats from all sides.

When fighting, it is usually Mu Zha who goes forward and sits in the front row.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is in the back, dealing long-range spell damage.

If encountering ordinary monsters, such as Zhu Gangbin and Liusha Jing, Guanyin Bodhisattva does not need to take action. She only needs to send the guardian Mu Zha to step forward and she can deal with it easily.

But if he encounters a powerful monster, such as Sun Wukong, Mu Zha will be powerless. At this time, it is time for Erlang Shen to take action.

Erlang Shen stepped forward to fight with Sun Wukong, while Guanyin Bodhisattva stood in the distance, holding the "mutton-fat jade bottle" tightly in her hand, ready to smash Sun Wukong's "monkey head" with the "mutton-fat jade bottle" at any time.

That is, use magic weapons to injure it from a distance.

If other powerful monsters need to be subdued and Mu Zha is not around, Guanyin Bodhisattva will use her "transformation skills" and "magic weapons" to subdue them.

For example, when subduing the black bear demon, Guanyin Bodhisattva first "transformed" into the Taoist Lingxuzi, tricked the black bear demon into eating the "fake elixir", and finally put on a "tight hoop" to control it firmly.

When subduing Red Boy, Guanyin Bodhisattva's method was even more ingenious.

Guanyin Bodhisattva first asked Mu Zha to borrow the thirty-six "Tiangang Swords" of Tota-Bearing Heavenly King Li Tianwang, and then transformed the Tiangang Swords into a "Thousand-Leaf Lotus Platform".

Red Boy looked at Avalokitesvara and stabbed him in the heart. Avalokitesvara transformed into a golden light, flew up into the sky and escaped.

Do not engage in direct confrontation with Red Boy.

Then, Guanyin Bodhisattva dropped down the fake lotus platform and tricked Red Boy into sitting on the fake lotus platform transformed from the "Tiangang Sword", releasing the Tiangang Sword and thus subduing him.

As for subduing the King of Inspiration, Guanyin Bodhisattva first made a "purple bamboo basket" magic tool. After the magic tool was made, he used the magic tool and mantras to easily subdue him.

……

This is how a mage fights, and his fighting style is different from that of a warrior.

Relying on their profound magical powers and supernatural abilities, mages mostly fight with spells, magical tools, etc. They can often control the situation of the battle from a long distance instead of directly engaging in the fight.

This is not what the Dharma master is good at.

Warriors, on the other hand, rely more on physical strength and close combat skills.

The battle situation changes rapidly, and strength and weakness are not completely absolute.

There are countless examples like this.

Of course, Guanyin Bodhisattva might also be worried that the Black Bear Demon and Red Boy would turn against her and stab her in the back.

After all, one is her mountain guardian god, and the other is her good boy Shancai, both of whom are close to her.

If the Black Bear Demon and Red Boy had the intention of rebelling, wouldn't it be impossible to prevent them?

Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva acts cautiously.

Of the three tight hoops given by the Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva embezzled two.

She must put a "tight hoop" on both the Black Bear Demon and Red Boy to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

……

At this moment, Yang Jian's gaze fell on Xiao Chen not far away, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Among all the gods, demons, immortals and Buddhas in the three realms, there are only a handful of people who can cultivate their bodies to the point of being "invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to all kinds of attacks."

Currently.

He, Yang Jian, is one.

And Yuan Hong from the Battle of the Gods was one of them.

Apart from this, the entire Three Realms are almost gone.

Yuan Hong's body was so strong that even Yang Jian found it difficult to deal with him. If it hadn't been for the help of Nuwa's "Map of Mountains, Rivers and States", it would have been difficult for him to be defeated.

Yang Jian thought secretly:

"This demon can be with the Monkey King, so it is probably also a monkey demon."

"Monkey demon..."

"Could it be that he is Yuan Hong's descendant?"

"Could it be that he has received Yuan Hong's true teachings and also learned the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills, making his body holy and invulnerable to all kinds of attacks?"

Yang Jian knew that Yuan Hong had a son.

After all, during the Battle of the Gods, he had personally gone to Meishan to fight a fierce battle with Yuan Hong, and was quite familiar with the situation of the monkeys in Meishan.

Back then, he fought with Yuan Hong in Meishan for a long time, and it was difficult to determine the winner. Finally, with the help of Nuwa's "Map of Mountains, Rivers and States", he was able to defeat Yuan Hong.

This is indeed not a glorious thing, but when marching and fighting, or when two armies are fighting each other, the ultimate goal should be to win.

In war, all is fair in deception; this is the iron rule on the battlefield.

When two armies fight and attack cities and seize strongholds, it is not a contest of martial arts or brutality.

At this moment, looking at Xiao Chen, Yang Jian’s thoughts returned to the Battle of the Gods.

He clearly remembered that Yuan Hong had a son who was just a young monkey back then.

During the fierce battle in Meishan, the little monkey hid in the corner and watched his father Yuan Hong being captured.

Although Yang Jian was ruthless and merciful, he would not kill an innocent child.

So, after subduing Yuan Hong, Yang Jian left there.

"Is he Yuan Hong's son?"

Although I thought so in my heart.

But in the night sky, the three-pointed, double-edged sword in Yang Jian's hand did not show any mercy.

After all, even if this monster is really the son of Yuan Hong, he is now more than a thousand years old and has developed his abilities.

He, Yang Jian, is not a bully of the weak.

See that the Five Elements Divine Thunder has no effect on Xiao Chen.

"Blue lightning in the east, red lightning in the south, white lightning in the west, black lightning in the north, and yellow lightning in the center..."

"receive!"

Yang Jian frowned slightly, he quickly retracted the Five Thunder Technique and raised the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand.

Yang Jian put his hands behind his back and poured all the five divine thunders into the sword, giving this sharp divine weapon another layer of thunderous power.

In an instant, arcs of lightning moved on the three-pointed, double-edged sword, carrying with it the power of roaring thunder, like a vivid three-headed thunder dragon.

Yang Jian held the three-pointed, double-edged sword and suddenly flashed it. The sword instantly drew a shocking rainbow and slashed directly towards Xiao Chen with unparalleled power.

Invulnerability to swords and guns is not absolute, there is a limit.

The "indestructible and spear-proof" Sun Wukong dared to directly resist Zhu Bajie's nine-toothed rake and the green-haired lion monster's big sword.

But facing Yang Jian's sword, even Sun Wukong did not dare to be careless. He used his body to directly block it and used the Ruyi Jingu Bang to block it on both sides.

At this moment.

Yang Jian had arrived in front of Xiao Chen and was approaching him. The three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand was flashing with cold light, and with fierce murderous intent, he slashed at Xiao Chen fiercely.

Facing Yang Jian's murderous sword.

"Well done!"

Xiao Chen also had a solemn expression and eyes as sharp as torches, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After all, the person standing in front of him was Yang Jian, the well-deserved god of war in heaven.

Yang Jian’s strength is so strong that it is hard to say outside the Three Realms.

But within the Three Realms, there are few rivals who can match him.

Apart from the extremely powerful Bull Demon King, Yang Jian is almost the only person who can make Sun Wukong go all out and force him to use all his skills such as "The Law of Heaven and Earth" and "Seventy-two Transformations".

He is also the person that Sun Wukong is willing to call "Brother Xiansheng".

At this moment.

Xiao Chen tightly grasped the Lingyun Purple Gold Halberd and engaged in a fierce confrontation with Yang Jian.

The two figures quickly crossed each other in the air, the sword lights and halberd shadows continued to clash, and every attack poured into their entire strength and will.

All I heard was a loud clang.

The Lingyun purple-gold halberd in Xiao Chen's hand collided with Yang Jian's three-pointed, double-edged sword in the air, and the deafening roar seemed to tear the sky apart.

The two powerful forces collided with each other, causing the surrounding space to tremble. A burning atmosphere filled the air, as if even the heaven and earth were shaken by this battle.

I have to say, Yang Jian’s sword is indeed very heavy.

Yang Jian was so furious that he attacked with all his strength, with such force that it was enough to split a mountain.

At this moment, even if it was a towering mountain thousands of feet high, Yang Jian could split it in half with one sword, truly demonstrating his unparalleled power as the God of War in Heaven.

This three-pointed, double-edged sword was right in front of Xiao Chen, resting against the soaring purple-gold halberd.

This immense force coming from the three-pointed, double-edged sword made Xiao Chen feel unprecedented pressure.

However, Xiao Chen did not back down.

There is no need for him, the King of the Golden Horn, to retreat.

"Let me test your sword, Yang Jian. Is it sharp?"

An unyielding will surged in Xiao Chen's heart, and he shouted softly in his heart:
"Change!"

In an instant.

Amazing changes began to occur inside Xiao Chen's body.
