Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1771 Jade Rabbit vs. Yellow-Toothed Elephant
Everything must now give way to the pilgrimage to the West. If Buddhism does not flourish, it cannot decline; if it does not decline, then Taoism will have no place.

This is a situation where a single move can have far-reaching consequences.

When Venus came to remind the pilgrimage team before, he said that as long as they went to fight Lion Camel Ridge and faced the difficulties head-on, the Heavenly Court would be their support. Even if they needed 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, the Heavenly Court could summon them for them.

Now that Old Pig is going to the Tushita Palace to ask for the elixir of immortality, that's nothing.

After hearing his request, Laozi closed his eyes and remained silent. Pigsy was uneasy and dared not leave or say anything more.

Golden Horn beckoned him to the side hall, took out a magic pill from the Purple Gold Gourd and handed it to Pigsy, then waved his hand, signaling him to hurry up and save Sun Wukong.

Silver Horn, standing to the side, said sarcastically, "Pigsy, what powerful enemy did you and your disciples encounter this time? Why don't we capture you and let you have a good meal?"

While Pigsy might dare to argue with Silver Horn outside, he would never dare to do so inside the Tushita Palace.

"You're joking, Fairy Boy. My old pig's meat is rotten." He didn't care about his reputation and used his jokes to dispel Silver Horn's displeasure.

While Pigsy was still chatting idly with Silver Horn in the Tushita Palace, Yellow-Toothed Elephant, without informing Green-Haired Lion and Black Cloud Immortal, quietly came alone to the side of Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge did not have the same goal. The Green-haired Lion was just going through the motions, while Wuyun Xian wanted to take the opportunity to demonstrate his own value. He said that he was taken away by Laozi in one move before, not because he was weak, but because Laozi was too strong.

The yellow-tusked elephant clearly wanted more.

This former Lingya Immortal of the Jie Sect has undergone a dramatic change in appearance. Before, when he was in the Jie Sect, he was a Taoist with a somewhat strange appearance, but he still looked like a human being. Now, he is "three zhang tall, with silkworm eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a beautiful voice, flat teeth, and a nose like a dragon."

They can't even maintain a normal body size; they're like mountains of flesh, and when they walk, the ground shakes.

The most crucial element is this "beautiful voice".

Why would a male elephant, an old one at that, have a voice like a little girl's? There's only one answer: it's an extremely sad story. After he entered Buddhism, he was castrated.
Those who frequently undergo surgery know that even if you have surgery, your vocal cords won't become thinner or smaller. However, the voices of Yue Buqun and Dongfang Bubai will change. Since internal energy cultivation can have this effect, there's no need to compare an elephant that has mastered immortal techniques with a human. If we have to say something, it's just that their body structures are different.

At this moment, the yellow-tusked elephant set its sights on the jade rabbit.

He wanted to devour the essence of the Jade Rabbit, which was the essence of the Taiyin Star, so that he could take the opportunity to transform from pure Yin to pure Yang.

It can grow back even if it's cut off.

"Who goes there?" Even though the night was dark and there was a light mist around, the Jade Rabbit still spotted the yellow-toothed elephant. Where could you hide such a mountain of flesh that was over three zhang tall?
The old elephant deliberately spoke in a rough voice, "Young man, I do not wish to take your life. Lay down your weapon, and I will only need some of your life essence."

"Hahahaha—! Where did this freak come from?"

The Jade Rabbit laughed as soon as it heard the voice. Then it looked at the appearance and realized that none of them were children of one or two years old. It was obvious what had happened to the other person.

Her laughter infuriated the old elephant, who swung his iron spear down like a club, striking her head repeatedly.

Worried about hurting Tang Sanzang, the Jade Rabbit nimbly ran northwest.

"Where do you think you're going!" The old elephant didn't even glance at Tang Sanzang, and strode off to chase after the Jade Rabbit.

Tang Sanzang knelt beside the unconscious Sun Wukong, and the white dragon horse nuzzled his robe with its head. Tang Sanzang wept bitterly for the third time.

Large swathes of trees crashed to the ground, and numerous buildings belonging to the Lion Camel Kingdom were shattered by the aftershocks of the attack. Neither the Jade Rabbit nor the Old Elephant held back, and the two sides fought their way for over a hundred miles.

The old elephant was skilled in martial arts and possessed profound Taoist magic, but his body was too enormous. The petite jade rabbit used its high speed to find openings while moving at breakneck speed. The two fought for over a hundred rounds, and after another hundred or so, the old elephant was about to be defeated. His superior martial arts skills were useless; his stamina was being depleted too quickly.

"Ahhh!—" The old elephant abandoned its weapon, swung its giant fist, and slammed it into the ground.

The Jade Rabbit realized it was within the attack range. With lightning speed, it leaped three zhang high and, like a jade pestle, stabbed the old elephant in the left eye.

"You've been tricked!" The old elephant's trunk suddenly darted out and strangely wrapped around the jade rabbit.

Originally, he only intended to seize some essence and blood, without planning to harm the life. However, after fighting all the way, he was filled with murderous intent. Without thinking, he opened his trunk and was about to swallow the jade rabbit whole.

The Jade Rabbit held the jade pestle upright in front of itself, exclaiming, "Big! Big! Big!"

She learned this trick from Sun Wukong. It's not very useful under normal circumstances, but it can be surprisingly effective in certain special situations.

At this moment, the jade pestle appeared to grow larger to the naked eye, poking there like a toothpick, and actually pried open a large hole in the elephant's trunk.

The old elephant was like someone with rhinitis, wanting to sneeze but unable to.

He acted decisively, his trunk expanding on its own and inhaling deeply into the air.

Soil, rocks, trees, and wild grass were all inhaled into the nose. In front of the jade rabbit was the jade pestle, and behind it were countless mud and stones.

She felt like her body was about to be crushed.

"Monster, you've angered me!" The Jade Rabbit is born with a fierce spirit, and when pushed to the brink, it can often unleash strength beyond its own limits.

At this moment, she poured all her magic into the lucky cat's bell and shook it vigorously.

Huh? She has a magic weapon? The old elephant immediately sensed something was wrong. The eerie bell sound traveled along his trunk to his brain, followed by a tremendous shock to his primordial spirit.

He gritted his teeth and kept absorbing the surrounding debris, trying to squeeze the jade rabbit into a meat patty.

The jade rabbit shook a bell while enlarging a large jade pestle, preparing to burst the elephant's trunk.

The two sides remained deadlocked for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

With a loud "bang," the elephant's trunk exploded from the middle. The enormous impact caused the old elephant to bleed from all seven orifices and nearly faint.

The Jade Rabbit was also covered in wounds, with most of its bones broken.

Both were ruthless enough to themselves, ignoring their own injuries, and fought each other again.

Thirty moves later, the old yellow-toothed elephant's spear pierced through the Jade Rabbit's abdomen, the spearhead going all the way through, pinning her to a rock wall.

The old elephant's head was struck solidly by the jade pestle, its skull collapsed, and its two eyeballs were forced out by the immense force, leaving only two bloody holes.

"Essence of Yin! Essence!" At this moment, he couldn't care less about speaking in a rough voice. His obsession with restoring "original state" made the old elephant barely stand up.

The old elephant, unable to see, took two steps toward the Jade Rabbit based on its memory. Then, its injuries became too severe, and it collapsed to the ground, never to rise again.
