Chapter 833 Fighting God Buddha, Demon King Qitian

The Black Heavenly Court, the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Since Li Jing's complete departure and even his "defection," the entire Heavenly Court has been shrouded in a huge restriction, and no one in the Heavenly Court is allowed to enter or leave, at least not until the situation calms down.

However, the busiest people in the entire Black Heavenly Court are obviously the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear.

With the surveillance advantage granted by their supernatural powers, the Black Heavenly Court can overlook everything, big and small, in the lower realm at all times. The key is to figure out exactly what is happening in the lower realm.

However, with the complete eradication of the Yellow Eyebrows forces in Little Western Heaven and the expansion of the three-way allied forces in all directions, the amount of information that Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears had to collect and process simultaneously had increased explosively. This was incredibly difficult, yet quite effective. With the influx of a large amount of information and images, the Black Heavenly Court was no longer the entity that repeatedly offered up lives due to its arrogance; instead, it had truly established a definitive characterization of the three-way allied forces—

Extraterrestrial demons.

Whether it's the silver-armored heavenly soldiers, the golden-bodied Arhats, or those figures with familiar divine faces, they have all been classified by the Black Heavenly Court as extraterrestrial demons invading this world, and are targets that must be eradicated!

However, while the nature of the campaign was decided, deciding who to send to the front became a problem. The Heavenly Court certainly had many powerful fighters, but those with the talent to lead troops properly had been almost entirely lost.

The military region commander first sent a letter and then betrayed the regime. The commander's son also showed a remarkable fatherly love and filial piety. The head of the criminal police team openly rebelled without any attempt to conceal it. The naval governor also went to the other side.

The Black Heavenly Court does indeed have a large number of countless Yin soldiers and generals at its disposal, but without a proper commander, sending them down would be like sending them to their deaths.

Moreover, during the monitoring period, the Tushita Palace finally received some useful feedback: 99% of the Yin soldiers and generals who had descended to the mortal realm with Li Jing in the previous batch had been killed. This meant that the other side possessed the kind of spiritual essence that could dissipate even Yin souls that had signed an eternal contract with the Heavenly Court.

This further amplifies the threat posed by the extraterrestrial demons.

The Black Heavenly Court may have already determined that the heavenly soldiers and generals below are not imposters, but rather soldiers from another world's Heavenly Court. However, they clearly do not want to admit it directly. It is more in their interest to simply condemn them as extraterrestrial demons.

Back then, even a mere monkey had triggered the Black Heavenly Court to unleash its full power. Now, the most warlike Giant Spirit God has remained silent in the Lingxiao Palace, and no one has volunteered to take on the role of the new military region commander-in-chief.

This spot is now a death knell; no one dares to sit here casually.

Thus, with the Jade Emperor's tacit approval, the entire Heavenly Court entered a delicate atmosphere that no one was willing to break. At the same time, it was passively put into a state of full defense. When the "extraterrestrial demons" allied forces in the lower realm dispersed to the lower realm, the Heavenly Court only randomly sent some small teams of Yin soldiers to harass them, and at the same time sent people to Black Spirit Mountain to communicate.

Rather than communication, it's probably more about shifting the blame elsewhere.

After activating the defensive mode thanks to the restrictions of the South Heavenly Gate, the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear received more precise instructions. They were ordered to narrow their monitoring targets from the overall situation to individuals, focusing on Sun Wukong, Erlang Shen, Nezha, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, the pilgrimage team, and... Cheng Tian and Eileen.

Well, Cheng is normal. His 7 points of legendary status, which he didn't try to hide, is enough to make his reputation resound in a completely unfamiliar new game instance. As for Eileen, she also came into view because she gained 4 or 5 points of legendary status by following Cheng Tian.

This kind of targeted surveillance saved a lot of effort for those with all-seeing and all-hearing abilities, and they almost instinctively focused their attention on the few most capable fighters in the world.

But not long ago, a series of astonishing developments left the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear so bewildered that they even forgot their duty to report everything they monitored in real time. Two Erlang Shen, two... Great Sages!?

Even though they are complete enemies, many people still refer to Sun Wukong as "Great Sage". There are actually quite a few monsters who call themselves Great Sage, but if you hear the title "Great Sage" alone from someone else, nine times out of ten it refers to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Of course, with their supernatural powers, they could also discern that the Great Sage who arrived later was not truly resurrected, but rather a lingering image constructed with his innate talent as the skeleton and supernatural powers as the flesh and blood, harboring a certain attachment and expectation for the world.

He may possess some of the power of the Great Sage, but it won't last long; he will eventually fall apart again.

At this moment, Cheng, who was also on their list of key targets for monitoring but ranked second to last, said something that was somewhat inexplicable but startled the people of Heaven.

"The Lingxiao Palace in this world needs renovation."

Before Shunfeng'er could even grasp the meaning of the word "renovation," Cheng Tian's hand landed on the remains of the Great Sage that were supposed to explode again soon.

In an instant, demonic energy surged into the sky!

Although the Great Sage's body, which had appeared lively and energetic but was actually shrouded in deathly aura and seemed on the verge of collapse, was suddenly covered by a surge of life force once again!
The Hundred Demons Night Parade can forcibly transform the target into a demon or monster with the original's traits.

In the world of Journey to the West, the definition of monsters is actually very vague. Sometimes the line between gods and monsters seems to be very thin, or even that there is no difference in their essence. In fact, the so-called "monster" is just a definition imposed by others.

Therefore, Cheng Tian used the Hundred Demon Night Parade on the remains of the Great Sage to further activate the wild demonic energy within the Great Sage, transforming it into the "Stone Ape" form in the game, thereby extending its lifespan. The form of expression should have been closer to returning to simplicity.

But this time, it seems we've gone too far...

The remnant of the Great Sage initially expanded according to the predetermined plan, transforming into a gigantic stone ape equivalent to activating the Dharma of Heaven and Earth. However, at the very moment its expansion reached its peak, the remnant suddenly stopped, then rapidly shrank, reverting to the form of a spirit monkey. But its name was no longer that of the remnant of the Great Sage; instead, it was—

You have successfully cast "Night Parade of a Hundred Demons" on the "Great Sage's Remains".

[Judgment passed. 】

[The "Great Sage's Remains" have been temporarily transformed into the "Demon King Great Sage Equal to Heaven" in the game "Battle God".]

The Demon King's fiery eyes shot straight into the sky!

The Thousand-Mile Eye at the South Heavenly Gate and the Heavenly King of Growth, waiting nearby, were almost terrified and wanted to report the situation immediately, but unexpectedly, two enormous clubs that seemed capable of piercing the sky had already crashed down on the South Heavenly Gate—

boom!
