Rumbling--

The world changed color, and the wind and clouds surged.

As the million heavenly soldiers clashed fiercely with the demon army, the entire sky of Little Western Paradise was shrouded in dazzling magical light and sparks from the clash of weapons.

Its sheer scale was comparable to the epic battle between the Jade Void Immortal and the sea monsters in the movie "The Demon Child Havoc in the Sea," as if it were about to drag the entire world into an endless vortex.

Meanwhile, in this chaotic battlefield, there were several places where the fighting was particularly intense and conspicuous.

For example, the Giant Spirit God plus the Four Heavenly Kings versus the Five Great Sages of the Demon Clan.

Although the former is enormous, the latter's manifestation of its true form as a demon is not much smaller. Whenever the two collide, the world loses its color, and they can easily change the surrounding terrain, giving one the feeling of watching a tokusatsu movie or a Hollywood giant monster movie.

For example, the 108 demon kings under the five holy thrones fought fiercely with the Nine Luminaries, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and the thirty-six heavenly generals under Zhenwu. The battle was incredibly brutal and bloody, and the outcome was difficult to predict.

Frankly speaking, in terms of pure numerical values ​​and mechanics, gods and demons of the same cultivation level clearly have the advantage.

Under normal circumstances, it would take three to five demon kings to fight against a single star general. If it were the Nine Luminaries Star Lord, it would take ten to one to barely hold on.

However, after Wu Xian's dual transformation using divine craftsmanship and spirit control, these monsters became nearly immortal Yin soldiers. Unless their flesh and soul were completely annihilated, they would fight tirelessly.

Interestingly, this is similar to the Heavenly Court's method of mass-producing heavenly soldiers, only simpler and more brutal, which has led to the current tense situation.

Compared to the battles mentioned above, the nominal commanders of both armies in this instance appear rather unassuming and unremarkable.

Two figures, one in black and one in gold, clashed repeatedly, fighting from the sky to the ground and then from the ground to the seabed, shifting back and forth across the entire Little Western Paradise. In just a few breaths, they exchanged thousands of blows, displaying a dazzling array of supernatural powers and spells that left onlookers breathless.

The clash of swords and staffs produced dazzling sparks and ripples, yet the power contained within was terrifying, as if even the void itself was howling in agony, on the verge of collapsing and tearing apart at any moment.

Finally, the golden figure was the first to succumb to the intense attack. After raising his staff to block a sharp sword light, he was kicked away by the black shadow and fell into a desert at the edge of the Bitter Sea, which happened to be the place where the snake would perish.

With a loud bang, smoke and dust filled the air.

Wu Xian coughed as he walked out of the pit, looked up at the Zhenwu Emperor towering above him, and sighed, "Sigh... What a hassle. If I had known it was you coming down, I wouldn't have taken this arduous task."

"As expected, you are not the chosen one."

The True Martial Emperor's face was gloomy, and the True Martial Sword in his hand gleamed coldly. "Although your skills are not weak, you are still not as good as you were at Flower Fruit Mountain. Moreover, the staff technique you used is not right. Instead, it gives me a sense of familiarity... Tianpeng, is that you?"

"Hehe! You're a true brother, I knew you'd figure it out sooner or later."

Wu Xian chuckled, his voice gradually becoming more rugged. As he spun around, the image of Zhu Bajie (Pigsy) was revealed amidst the exploding gray mist.

"It's really you..."

The True Martial Emperor frowned and said in a deep voice, "Very well, I know you got involved in this matter to resurrect the Great Sage. Considering our past friendship, tell me where the Chosen One is now, and I will pretend I never saw you today. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword."

Zhu Bajie was once Marshal Tianpeng, and like Zhenwu the Great, he was once under the command of Ziwei the Great, and together with two other divine generals, they were known as the "Four Saints of the North Pole".

Because of this, he and Zhu Bajie had a pretty good relationship in the past. They were colleagues and close friends who could meet up after get off work every day to go out to eat, drink, and chat.

"Hehe! What a question, brother."

Pigsy rubbed his belly, his face full of wicked smiles, and said, "My nephew is far more capable than my senior brother, yet he still wants me to take his place and attract the attention of the Heavenly Army. Can you guess why he would do that?"

Upon hearing this, the True Martial Emperor was slightly taken aback, then, realizing something, he abruptly turned to look at the sky, his face turning extremely grim. "A diversionary tactic! He intends to launch a direct attack on the Heavenly Court!!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a burst of golden light exploded before his eyes.

The next second, Emperor Zhenwu felt his feet sink into the air, and his wind-riding magic suddenly lost its effect, causing him to fall uncontrollably from the sky.

Not far away, Fourth Sister retrieved the Wind-Fixing Pearl from her hand, then took out the Banana Leaf Fan. Just as the True Martial Emperor was about to fall, she forcefully swung it forward.

Immediately afterwards, several dragon-shaped hurricanes appeared out of thin air and surged down towards the front.

……

"Sun Wukong?!"

Upon seeing that familiar attire and the hairy face and thunderous mouth of the deity, many immortals in the hall couldn't help but scream, as if recalling the havoc that occurred in the Heavenly Palace a thousand years ago.

The Black Myth is not part of the original Journey to the West. Back then, Sun Wukong was not stopped outside the Tongming Hall by Wang Lingguan, but actually stormed into the Lingxiao Palace.

In that battle, countless immortals and gods were severely injured and perished, and the thirty-six heavens were turned upside down, leaving a shadow on many celestial beings.

Otherwise, after Sun Wukong gave up his Buddhist position and returned to Flower Fruit Mountain, the Heavenly Court would not have gone to such great lengths to join forces with Mount Ling to besiege and kill him.

There's no way around it; Sun Wukong is really strong. If we can't control him, we have to do everything we can to eliminate him. Otherwise, if he goes berserk and wreaks havoc in the Heavenly Palace every now and then, the Heavenly Court will definitely suffer heavy losses.

"quiet!"

At this moment, a detached voice rang out, silencing all the noise in the hall and making it so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

On the throne above, the Jade Emperor, who had seemed half-asleep, finally opened his eyes wider. His eyes seemed to ripple with water, as if stars were flickering and disappearing. Suddenly, divine light appeared behind him, and then it transformed into five golden divine swords that hung in the air, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"You... are the chosen one."

The Jade Emperor glanced at Wu Xian, who was slowly walking into the hall, a look of doubt on his face, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly:
"It seems that the monkey in Little Western Heaven is your double. You used it as bait to lure a million heavenly soldiers, leaving the Heavenly Court's fighting strength depleted, and then marched straight into the thirty-sixth heaven... Not bad, you're quite clever, much better than that mischievous monkey."

Having said that, the Jade Emperor lightly moved his index finger on the armrest of his throne, and the five divine swords behind him emitted a dazzling light, their power continuously increasing, causing the immortal energy in the entire Lingxiao Palace to stagnate.

"You monkey are quite interesting. Very well, I will give you a chance. As long as you are willing to submit to me, I will forgive your previous sins and appoint you as the new Great Sage Equaling Heaven, with a first-rank official position and the privilege of longevity."

The immortals were shocked to hear this. The Jade Emperor was trying to appease the chosen one, just like he had done to Sun Wukong a thousand years ago, and had even promised him immortality.

You should know that this is an honor that even Sun Wukong didn't have back then.

Thinking of this, many celestial officials in the hall looked at Wu Xian, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

However, Wu Xian smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's great favor, but I cannot accept such a reward without merit. Moreover, the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven is too prestigious, and I am afraid I cannot handle it. I would prefer a lower-ranking official position."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Then what official position do you want?"

“Not too big.”

Wu Xian grinned and said, "It's all fine, I'll just be the Jade Emperor!"
