Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

Outside the South Gate of Heaven, Li Jing led a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, all of them covered in dust and looking disheveled, back to Heaven.

Their armor was tattered, their flags were askew, and their former glory was gone.

Emperor Xin stood before the Lingxiao Palace and saw this scene from afar. He was secretly delighted, thinking that Li Jing was not only powerful in martial arts, but also had superb acting skills.

In Di Xin's view, Li Jing's acting skills were truly superb, perfectly portraying the state of defeat.

Li Jing hurriedly approached Emperor Xin, knelt on one knee, his face full of shame, and said, "Your Majesty, we have failed the Heavenly Court's high expectations. In this battle, we were utterly defeated by Sun Wukong. Please punish us."

Di Xin smiled faintly and said softly, "General Li, what are you saying? Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Why take it so seriously, General?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing awkwardly pursed his lips, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He raised his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Your Majesty, we were not acting. Sun Wukong simply swept away our weapons; we were indeed no match for him."

Di Xin was startled; the smile on his face vanished instantly. He slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and shouted, "How is this possible?"

"Your Majesty, that monkey was originally no match for us, but he somehow obtained the Lesser Seven Treasures Tree and the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar. These two treasures are extremely powerful. In addition, the monkey's cultivation has now reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and his combat strength can actually rival that of the early stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm."

"Forget it, let's not worry about this for now. Let the big shots fight it out!"

At this moment, Venus stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, given the current situation, this old minister believes it is time to offer amnesty to that demon monkey."

Just as Emperor Xin was about to nod in agreement and send Venus to offer amnesty, he suddenly heard the voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader: "No need for amnesty, send Yang Jian instead."

Di Xin's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, but he didn't think much of it. "Why offer amnesty? My Heavenly Court has suffered such humiliation, how can we let that demon monkey go so easily?"

Having said that, he turned to Venus and ordered, "Venus, order Yang Jian to lead eight hundred grass-headed gods to capture the demon monkey Sun Wukong!"

Seeing that Emperor Xin had made up his mind, Venus wanted to offer some advice, but seeing the resolute look in Emperor Xin's eyes, he could only shake his head helplessly and turn to fly towards the mouth of the Guanjiang River.

Venus stepped into the grouting vent and loudly proclaimed, "The Heavenly Emperor has decreed that Yang Jian lead his troops to Flower Fruit Mountain to suppress the demon monkey Sun Wukong."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian slightly curled his lip. Although he didn't have much affection for the Heavenly Court, he still stepped forward to accept Emperor Xin's decree and then went to muster the troops.

In the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun was comprehending the Dao of Heaven when he suddenly opened his deep eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them. He thought to himself, "The trajectory of the heavens has changed again."

Without even calculating, he directly scanned Biyou Palace with his divine sense. Seeing that Tongtian showed no unusual changes, he felt somewhat relieved.

But he was still uneasy, so he raised his hand to calculate again. This time, however, he discovered traces of the demons, and he couldn't help but shout angrily, "That bastard Luo Hou!"

Having said that, he was about to get up and head to the Demon Realm, but after taking only a few steps, he stopped, turned around, and went back, muttering, "Never mind."

Yang Jian, leading eight hundred grass-headed gods, swiftly arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain. Sun Wukong also appeared before Yang Jian, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. "Oh, isn't this Yang Erlang, the one who split the mountain to save his mother? What brings you to my Flower Fruit Mountain today?"

Yang Jian did not respond to Sun Wukong's provocation. Holding his three-pointed double-edged sword, he exuded a fierce fighting spirit and charged directly at Sun Wukong.

In an instant, the two were locked in combat.

Yang Jian wielded his three-pointed double-edged sword, the blade flashing like lightning, slicing through the void as he fiercely slashed at Sun Wukong, the sword energy creating a series of whistling sounds wherever it went.

Sun Wukong remained calm and composed, holding the towering white jade pillar and gently blocking it. A loud "clang" resounded, like the ringing of a great bell, causing the surrounding mountains to tremble slightly.

The two magical treasures collided, splashing up dazzling rays of light.

Seeing that the two were evenly matched in their battle, Yang Jian snorted coldly, his magical power surged, and his third eye on his forehead suddenly opened, shooting out a golden light that pierced straight for Sun Wukong's throat.

Sun Wukong flashed away, transforming into a gentle breeze, easily dodging the attack.

"Yang Jian, your Heavenly Eye is nothing special! Tsk tsk tsk!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong used the technique of "Celestial Manifestation," instantly transforming his body into an enormous size. He swung the towering white jade pillar, sweeping it towards Yang Jian. Wherever the pillar passed, it stirred up a gust of wind, sending sand and stones flying.

Upon seeing this, Yang Jian was secretly startled, but soon he immediately unleashed the Eight-Nine Yuan Attack, his body instantly becoming as hard as iron, and met Sun Wukong's attack head-on.

The two magical powers collided, producing a series of booming sounds. The entire Flower Fruit Mountain was enveloped by this powerful force, and dark clouds filled the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Above the Heavenly Court, Emperor Xin watched the fierce battle below with a furrowed brow. Then, he turned to look at Laozi's benevolent self, the Supreme Lord Lao, who took out the Vajra Bracelet.

The Vajra Bracelet flashed and hurled itself at Sun Wukong. Before he could dodge, a loud "bang" rang out, and the bracelet struck him on the head, knocking him unconscious.

When Yang Jian saw Sun Wukong being knocked unconscious, he was secretly annoyed. He glared at the sky and complained in his heart that Laozi was meddling in other people's business.

Therefore, Yang Jian threw Sun Wukong directly into the Lingxiao Palace and then turned around and returned to Flower Fruit Mountain.

Di Xin ignored Yang Jian's rude behavior. With a wave of his hand, two heavenly soldiers stepped forward, grabbed Sun Wukong, and prepared to execute him.

However, just like the trajectory of the Journey to the West tribulation, Sun Wukong was hacked and slashed by swords and axes, but it was all to no avail.

The sharp blades struck him, but only a few sparks flew; his body remained unharmed.

The heavenly soldiers watched this scene in horror, at a loss for what to do. When Di Xin saw this, he was also a little surprised.

At this moment, Laozi stepped forward, feigning confidence, and said, "Your Majesty, let me place it in the alchemy furnace to refine pills; I'm sure we'll produce a batch of excellent elixirs!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin nodded. "Take Sun Wukong to the Eight Trigrams Palace!"

Then, under the escort of several heavenly soldiers and generals, Sun Wukong arrived at the Eight Views Palace and was thrown into the alchemy furnace.

The flames inside the alchemy furnace were raging, and the temperature was extremely high, enough to refine all things in the world.

However, after forty-nine days, Sun Wukong was not only not refined, but instead broke through his realm in the scorching flames and reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Laozi had been guarding the alchemy furnace, calculating the time. When the forty-nine days had passed, a loud bang was heard, and the lid of the alchemy furnace was blown off by a powerful force.

Sun Wukong leaped out of the alchemy furnace, his body radiating golden light, his aura even more powerful than before.

Upon seeing this, Laozi was secretly delighted, but he feigned fear and hurriedly ran out of the Eight Views Palace.

After Sun Wukong broke out of the furnace, he was filled with anger towards the Heavenly Court. Holding the white jade pillar that could support the sky, he wreaked havoc throughout the Heavenly Court. Wherever he went, palaces collapsed, immortal herbs were trampled flat, and immortals fled in all directions.

When Emperor Xin heard that Sun Wukong was causing havoc in the Heavenly Court, he immediately sent the Chan Sect members on the list to suppress him.

Taiyi Zhenren took the lead in battle, wielding the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. Instantly, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover expanded, and nine fire dragons flew out from it, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong, however, was not afraid at all. He looked at the nine fire dragons and laughed loudly, "These little insects dare to come at me, Old Sun!"

After saying that, he swung the towering white jade pillar and smashed it directly at the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. With a "crack", the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover was shattered by Sun Wukong's staff, and the nine fire dragons instantly dissipated.

When Taiyi Zhenren saw that his magic weapon was broken, he was heartbroken. His eyes widened in shock, and then he burst into tears.

Seeing this, Chi Jingzi snorted coldly, grabbed the Yin-Yang Mirror and rushed forward. He raised the Yin-Yang Mirror and shone it at Sun Wukong, and a beam of black and white light shot towards Sun Wukong.

But Sun Wukong remained unmoved, and the power of the Yin-Yang Mirror had no effect whatsoever.

Then, he swung the towering white jade pillar at Chi Jingzi. Chi Jingzi was unable to dodge in time and was sent flying by Sun Wukong's staff, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out blood.

Seeing how powerful Sun Wukong was, Nezha couldn't resist the urge to fight. He immediately rode on his Wind and Fire Wheels, grabbed his Fire-Tipped Spear, and charged towards Sun Wukong.

Nezha brandished his Fire-Tipped Spear, the tip of which rained down on Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong and Nezha clashed, exchanging blows for hundreds of rounds, yet neither gained the upper hand.

Seeing that he could not win in the short term, Sun Wukong pondered for a moment. With a quick thought, he suddenly feinted with his staff, then transformed into a golden light and fled.

Nezha gave chase, but found that he couldn't catch up with Sun Wukong's Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique at all.
