Chapter 374 I am the heavens, the supreme being!

Since Flower Fruit Mountain has appeared, Water Curtain Cave is naturally indispensable.

As the saying goes, Huaguo Mountain is a blessed land, and Water Curtain Cave is a grotto heaven. If Huaguo Mountain is a fairyland on earth, then Water Curtain Cave is a grotto heaven and a blessed land, which is far more popular than other scenic spots.

When Aize used the Sound Transformation technique to teleport to the mountaintop, he immediately saw this blessed land.

It was located on the site of the original Western Heavenly Palace, but was replaced by a cliff.

On the cliff, a waterfall cascades down like a white rainbow, crashing into the lake below and splashing water, creating waves.

The sound of the waterfall echoed in all directions, and the area directly below it suddenly split open, forming an opening.

It was a south-facing, "人"-shaped cave entrance. The waterfall's flow was slightly obstructed, not completely covering it, but forming a curtain of water that vaguely obscured it, making it impossible to see the scene inside the cave.

"How did this place become like this?"

When Aize arrived at the original site of the Western Heavenly Palace, he looked at the Water Curtain Cave in front of him and almost immediately understood.

"The interior of this cave entrance should be the original corridor leading to the Netherworld."

Now, the corridors of the Netherworld seem to have completely collapsed.

In other words, if you walk through this cave entrance, you will no longer enter the Netherworld, but will enter the interior of the Water Curtain Cave, which is the original interior of the Western Heavenly Palace.

However, that place must have changed drastically and is no longer the original Western Heaven Palace.

As for the interior of the Water Curtain Cave...

"I don't need to go in and look anymore, do I?"

After all, the gatekeeper had already seen him.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The creature that emitted such a roar, like a dragon's howl, was the monkey that served as the left and right guardians of the Water Curtain Cave.

That's right, it's still a monkey, and a monkey that can still roar like a dragon.

Because they are different from the monkey messengers that appeared below. Not only are they twelve meters tall, but they are also strong and robust, with long arms and short legs, as imposing as Vajra. The aura emanating from their bodies is strong enough to suffocate humans.

Upon discovering Azer's presence, they immediately approached, moving with the speed and ferocity of a storm, so fast and powerful that they even sent waves crashing away.

This power could no longer be that of some divine messenger; it is absolutely the genuine divine beast!
"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The two monkey-like divine beasts charged towards Aize, their massive mouths opening wide. One spewed forth crimson flames, while the other unleashed a raging storm, creating a fiery tempest that violently engulfed Aize.

Their appearance and strength make it an understatement to call them monkeys; they are comparable to dragons.

If it were Erica and Liliana, even if they joined forces, they probably wouldn't be able to deal with one.

Even if it were Kiyoshuin Ena wielding Sode no Shirayuki, she could probably only barely handle one spirit after using the Spirit Summoning Technique. As for handling two at the same time, that would only be possible if she were wielding the Ame no Kusanagi.

Even the strongest human paladin would have a hard time dealing with these two monkey-like divine beasts, and would have to use all their cunning to have any chance of winning.

Unfortunately, they were not facing humans, but demon kings, Rakshasa, and god-slaying overlords.

"boom!"

The water waves that had been blown away suddenly began to surge violently.

No, it wasn't the water waves that were rioting, but the entire waterfall, the entire lake, and the entire river system of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Whether it was waterfalls, lakes, or even the rivers in Huaguo Mountain, they all erupted at this moment, stirring up huge torrents of water and forming fierce tornadoes that rose from all directions and quickly converged here.

In the blink of an eye, a water dragon that blotted out the sky took shape, roaring as it rushed out.

It swallowed the crimson flames, extinguishing all the firelight under the surging water pressure.

It broke through the raging storm, like a monstrous beast rampaging through the tempest, extinguishing the storm.

Before the two monkey-like mythical beasts could even react, they were swallowed up by the roaring water dragon with its massive mouth wide open.

Blue blood suddenly appeared in the water, and the water dragon also swooped down, crashing into the lake, instantly making the lake restless, stirring up wave after wave that lasted for a long time.

The entire summit of Huaguo Mountain was instantly filled with waves.

"Aren't you coming out yet?"

Aize stood on the waves as if walking on water, and somehow found himself holding a trident in his hand.

"If you don't come out soon, I'm going to go in!"

At Aize's shout, a stone monkey opened its fiery eyes in the Water Curtain Cave, which had been swallowed by the raging waves.

"Oh!"

The stone monkey shuddered violently and exploded, sending countless stones flying from the center of the blast.

At the epicenter of the explosion, a golden figure soared into the sky, shattering the ceiling of the Water Curtain Cave and the waterfall cliff, reaching the heavens.

At that moment, everyone saw the figure leaping high from the top of Flower Fruit Mountain.

He swept over the clouds and over the sky, his voice booming like thunder.

"I pray for purity and freedom from dust!"

"When the six senses are purified, the spirits of my five internal organs are at peace!"

"The reason for this peace is that we share the same origin as the gods of heaven and earth!"

"Now, grant me a tranquil body and divinity!" "I am Heaven itself, the being equal to Heaven!"

The ape god, having made a declaration to heaven and earth, landed on the clouds, riding the clouds and mist, shimmering with golden light.

He was about 160 centimeters tall, wearing a yellow robe, with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth, holding a golden cudgel, and exuding an imposing aura.

"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, is here!"

The sound echoed clearly between heaven and earth, reaching everyone's ears.

"Jiji!"

"Chi chi chi chi!"

In Nikko City, all the monkeys suddenly started shouting excitedly. Whether they were human or monkey hair, they all acted as if they had seen their king, filling the entire city with monkey cries.

"Sun Wukong, you refuse to obey!"

"It has been born!"

At the foot of the mountain, Erica and Liliana, who were confronting a group of monkey messengers, both looked up at the sky.

"Fiery eyes, iron head and arms, bronze back and body, boundless supernatural powers, and endless transformations..."

Protected by Erica and Liliana, Mariya Yuri also looked at the sky, murmuring absentmindedly.

"He is fierce and wicked, surnamed Sun, named Wukong, and calls himself—the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

Aize's gaze swept across thousands of meters, looking at Sun Wukong standing above the clouds, a smile appearing on his face.

"It's finally here."

He's been waiting a long time.

…………

At Mount Lu, Luo Hao, dressed in Hanfu and looking like a fairy descending to earth, emerged from the temple as if by divine inspiration and came to the edge of the cliff, looking towards the distant East.

As a Taoist nun, Luo Hao also possesses the ability to see a thousand miles, and this ability is stronger than that of any other sorcerer in the world today.

She could fly from Mount Lu to Tokyo in one go, so naturally she could also see Nikko City, Huaguo Mountain, and the Monkey God above the clouds, and even hear His declaration.

"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven has finally been freed from that repulsive, short stature."

A captivatingly beautiful smile appeared on the face of the martial arts master from across China, a smile that was both alluring and icy.

"Excellent! Only with such a demeanor can one be worthy of being called a hero of our country."

"Seeing you like this brings back memories of the humiliation of a century ago."

"Be glad, Sun Wukong, who disobeyed. For the sake of my brother, the one who will grant you a glorious death will take your place."

Luo Hao turned his gaze to the top of Huaguo Mountain, looking at Aize walking on the waves, and his smile became even wider.

“Brother Ai, show your sister what you’ve got. Let me see if you really have the power to defeat the Wolf King and kill the Ape God.”

As Luo Hao's arrogant words faded away with the wind, in the distant sky, the ape god, wielding the golden cudgel, rode the clouds and flew down towards Flower Fruit Mountain.

…………

"Crash-"

The sound of surging waves still echoed on Huaguo Mountain, causing the waves to rise one after another, lingering for a long time.

The ape god, riding the clouds and mist, arrived here, looking down at the figure walking on the water, and let out a hearty laugh.

"You're even more impatient than I, Old Sun, imagined."

Sun Wukong made this statement in response to the dissent.

"I thought you would at least wait until the sun rises tomorrow, and wait for me to come find you in person!"

That will be the day of Sun Wukong's birth, as predicted by Yuri Mariya.

But Aize didn't live to see that day.

"Who told you to make such a commotion?" Aize's mood had calmed down. "I don't want to fight you in a place full of monkeys."

"Are you scared?" Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right. My monkey subjects have even fought against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. How dare you face a mere god-slayer alone?"

“They’re just small fry, don’t take them seriously.” Aize looked at Sun Wukong standing on the cloud and said, “Don’t think I can’t see that your power has already reached its limit. The reason you haven’t come out yet is to make full preparations.”

A faint golden light flashed in Aize's eyes, revealing that he had seen through Sun Wukong's true nature by using the special eyesight of the "warrior" avatar attached to the golden sword.

"If I really wait until sunrise tomorrow, then all those who have turned into monkeys will become your soldiers, transformed into divine messengers, or even divine beasts, right?"

"To gather the power of an entire nation on Earth to deal with a mere god-slayer you speak of—such a cautious approach is not at all like your style."

"Isn't the so-called Great Sage Equal to Heaven someone who dares to rush into the Heavenly Palace of Lingxiao all by himself?"

Aize smiled suddenly and said something.

"I think you're the one who's scared, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong burst into laughter.

"You even saw through the assimilation spell I was secretly preparing?"

"This is nothing, isn't it? After all, I'm the kind of person who has stolen elixirs, drunk immortal wine, and even eaten peaches of immortality in the Heavenly Palace."

"Since you've seen through me, let's have a fair fight, my fellow countryman, the god-slayer!"
