Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 167 What Kind of Revenge Is This?

"Hahaha! Finally can't hold on, can you? Break it for this king!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing laughed triumphantly and manipulated the suction force of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, engulfing the demon soldiers and generals of Flower-Fruit Mountain. After a long standoff, although the Heavenly Soldiers had also exhausted a great deal, they had finally managed to break through the large battle formation of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Race!

With a cold gleam in his eyes and a ferocious smirk on his face, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing continued to pour the power of immortals and gods into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, taking control of its suction force and pulling one of the small Zhou Tian Seven Extremes Battle Formations into the pagoda.

"Everyone, attack the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda! Now!"

The Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation had been broken, and relying solely on the small Zhou Tian Seven Extremes Battle Formation was not enough to resist the terrifying suction force of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Leng Xuan quickly realized this, his hands sketching one Dao pattern after another, and while shouting orders, he launched several Dharma Decrees at the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. A giant white fox apparition, with six massive tails swaying, appeared behind him, representing the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe always measured the cultivation strength of their kind by the number of tails; to endure the Doomsday Thunder Disaster and reach the Earth Immortal Realm was to be called a Three-Tailed Demon Fox, and to progress to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm was to grow six tails and be called a Six-Tailed Spirit Fox, whereas a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox required reaching at least the Quasi-Saint Realm.

"Surging Seas and Overturning Waves!"

"Golden Roc Shining in the Sky!"

"Moving Mountains and Overturning Seas!"

"Unparalleled Ghost God!"

Following Leng Xuan's loud shout, the Jiao Demon King, the Peng Demon King, and the other three Demon Kings quickly reacted, hurling their ultimate moves at the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. They shattered the incoming suction force and simultaneously struck the body of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

The other demon soldiers and generals of Flower-Fruit Mountain also came to their senses and launched attacks at the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. However, it seemed to have little effect; they were barely able to scatter the suction force of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda but could not damage its body.

"Ah, help, help!"

"Save us!"

The members of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Race within the small Zhou Tian Seven Extremes Battle Formation, fully enveloped by the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda's pulling force, cried out in terror. While others managed to disperse the attack aimed at them, their own attacks did hardly any damage.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing had concentrated most of the suction force on this particular small Zhou Tian Seven Extremes Battle Formation. The suction was simply too terrifying, utterly unstoppable, and amidst screams, they were gradually pulled into the vortex at the bottom of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and completely swallowed.

"Damn it!"

The eyes of Leng Xuan and others turned red as they saw nearly four to five thousand of their fellow Flower-Fruit Mountain demons being sucked into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Watching the blinding Buddha's Light Fiery Flame light up within the pagoda and hearing the screams of the Flower-Fruit Mountain demons, every high-ranking member of Flower-Fruit Mountain gritted their teeth, wishing they could rush up and shatter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to pieces!

"Hahahaha! You lowly demons think you can stand against this king's treasure pagoda? Utterly overestimating yourselves! Today, this king will burn all of you within it. From now on, Flower-Fruit Mountain shall be erased from the world. Let all the demons and monsters see what happens when they oppose Heavenly Court!"

"Combine forces and attack; we must destroy this pagoda!"

The fire within the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda grew stronger, and Leng Xuan could feel the Flower-Fruit Mountain demons being burned to ash one by one within the flames, desperation cracking his voice as he roared and channeled all his strength into attacks against the pagoda.

The Jiao Demon King, the Peng Demon King, and the other three Great Demon Kings also struck, but their attacks simply vanished as if into the sea, having little to no effect.

Six-Eared Macaque also tried to strike at the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda but was stopped by Erlang God Yang Jian: "Demon Monkey, your opponent is me, the True Lord. Where do you think you're going?"

"Damn it, Yang Jian, get out of my way!"

Six-Eared Macaque roared, swinging his Heaven-supporting Iron Staff in a fierce attack on Erlang God Yang Jian. "You maniac! What quarrel does my Flower-Fruit Mountain have with you that you persistently aid the Heavenly Court in annihilating us? Nezha was truly blind to recognize someone like you as his elder brother!"

"Shut your mouth! You are not worthy to mention Nezha's name!"

Erlang God Yang Jian's expression changed, and he erupted in anger. "My brother Nezha died at the hands of that demon monkey, Sun Wukong. I, the True Lord, have sworn to avenge him. Wasn't Flower-Fruit Mountain founded by that Sun Wukong himself? I am determined to destroy all that he has built, to comfort Nezha's spirit in heaven!"

"Are you avenging Nezha?"

Six-Eared Macaque was startled and then understood. Sun Wukong had secretly brought Nezha the Third Prince back to Flower-Fruit Mountain to heal his injuries. For the Heavenly Court, Nezha had long been considered perished at Sun Wukong's hands. No wonder Erlang God Yang Jian harbored such hatred towards Flower-Fruit Mountain. But this was all a misunderstanding!

"Yang Jian, you fool! Nezha isn't dead at all! The boss brought him back to Flower-Fruit Mountain to recuperate. Right now, he's in the Heaven-Piercing Tower, attempting to break through to the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm. What kind of vengeance are you trying to seek?"

"What?"

The words of Six-Eared Macaque took Erlang God Yang Jian aback. His face showed disbelief, and his attack ceased. "You say that Nezha isn't dead? How can that be? Heavenly King Li Jing saw with his own eyes Nezha perish at the hands of Sun Wukong ..."

"Have you not realized that there's always been discord between Nezha and Li Jing, though officially father and son, indeed they were adversaries?"

Six-Eared Macaque sneered. The next moment, he rushed past Erlang God Yang Jian toward the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. "I have no time to explain. Once you see Nezha, everything will be clear!"

Watching Six-Eared Macaque dash toward the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Erlang God Yang Jian's facial muscles twitched, wanting to stop him, but in the end chose not to move. From Six-Eared Macaque's previous action, it seemed he was not lying. Could it be true that Nezha was unharmed?

"Boom!"

The Heaven-supporting Iron Staff struck the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda heavily, but like the attacks unleashed by Jiao Demon King and the others, it was ineffective. Six-Eared Macaque tried to execute the Seventy-Two Heaven-Shocking Strokes to shatter the pagoda, but before he could perform it, he spat a mouthful of reverse blood and his energy rapidly wilted.

His ability to perform the Seventy-Two Heaven-Shocking Strokes earlier was accidental and overexerted his body. Now injured, he could not bear the immense strain it brought. How could he perform it again?

"You overestimate yourself! My Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is not something your lowly Demon Race can possibly destroy! This day will mark your extinction! Capture them!"

The Buddha's Light Fiery Flame within the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda grew more intense, and the screams of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Race absorbed into it gradually diminished and finally ceased. Nearly five thousand demon soldiers and demon generals were incinerated to ashes.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing's face gleamed with triumph, his laughter continuing as he drove the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda toward other demon soldiers and generals of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

"Retreat, all retreat!"

Leng Xuan yelled frantically. He knew the Primordial Unity Grand Formation had not been restored yet, but they couldn't afford to wait any longer. Without retreating now, Flower-Fruit Mountain's elites would all perish under the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda!

"Think you can leave? Under my Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, who can escape? Come back to me!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing snorted coldly.

The suction of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda suddenly increased, engulfing all remaining demon soldiers and generals of Flower-Fruit Mountain, forcibly pulling them, bit by bit, back in, except for Leng Xuan, Jiao Demon King, Peng Demon King, and other high-ranking officials of Flower-Fruit Mountain with Taiyi Golden Immortal or higher cultivation, who could barely resist.

The others simply couldn't withstand this terrifying suction, their forms gradually being pulled toward the swirling vortex at the base of the pagoda.

Boom! Find adventures at empire

Just as the demon soldiers and generals of Flower-Fruit Mountain were about to be fully absorbed into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing's face already displaying a hideous grin of victory, suddenly a great booming sound came from within Flower-Fruit Mountain, and two figures flew from the gate.

One, holding an iron staff and clad in black iron armor, majestic and imposing, was none other than the Bull Demon King, while the other, standing on Wind-Fire Wheels, wielding a Fire-tipped Spear, and shouldering a Qiankun Ring, looked like he was bathed in blazing fire. It was none other than Nezha the Third Prince!

"Nezha? He actually isn't dead?"

The Bull Demon King was fully energized, clearly having recovered from his injuries. But at this moment, all eyes were on Nezha the Third Prince, especially Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, who stared wide-eyed, a look of utter disbelief on his face. He had personally witnessed Nezha being struck down by Sun Wukong, vanishing both in body and Dao.

How then was he now flying robustly from Flower-Fruit Mountain? What in the world was going on?

"It's Nezha! He really isn't dead! Six-Eared Macaque didn't lie to me!"

Erlang God Yang Jian was also wide-eyed. The third eye between his brows opened, looking towards Nezha. It indeed was Nezha the Third Prince, not an impersonation by another's transformation! Furthermore, Erlang God Yang Jian discerned that Nezha's cultivation had clearly broken through to Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm!

"Qiankun Ring, go!"

Removing the Qiankun Ring from his shoulder, Nezha shouted crisply, flinging it towards the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Having been restricted by the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda for many years, he naturally knew where its weak spots were. Previously lacking the capability to exploit them, his situation now was different.

Having broken through to Da Luo Golden Immortal and reconstructed his Spiritual Pearl true body, he was no longer concerned about the pagoda!

Boom!

The Qiankun Ring heavily struck the top of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, emitting a thunderous roar. The entire pagoda violently shook from this impact, and the vortex at its base was affected, dissipating away. All suction ceased, and the ring shrunk back, returning to Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing's hand.
