The difference was that Rahu had no interest in the life or death of Li Jing and the Southern Pole Immortal Weng. He only wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly test all of Sun Wu Kong's abilities.
Therefore, he was the first to rise into the air and charge towards the Heavenly River, trillions of miles above!
Afterward, Sun Wu Kong still had to remember the eighth tribulation of Liangjie Mountain. Before leaving, he had to instruct Jin Chanzi a few words.
"Old Sun must settle this with him."
"Master Jin Chanzi, don't keep these two scoundrels. As soon as the Eight Immortals of the Chan Sect arrive, immediately send them to the Jie Sect for judgment."
"With the Saint Yuqing, Yuanshi Tianzun, present, even if the Jade Emperor… Ai Yo, this is really urgent! I didn't even name you, you scumbag Haotian, and you actually dare to make a move?"
Before Sun Wu Kong could finish speaking, he saw, just as he had predicted, that the various Saints had closed their gates for some unknown reason and were ignoring this situation.
And Jin Chanzi was about to safely pass the eighth tribulation, and allow his two elders to return to the Chan Sect, under the tutelage of Patriarch Burning Lamp.
The Jade Emperor, who had long been impatient, immediately took action!
"Monkey Sun, you'd better defeat Brother Rahu first. You don't think anyone can save you without the intervention of the Saints of all heavens, do you?"
"I, enduring heavy burdens since ancient times, have never easily acted. Today's battle will show everyone in the Three Realms."
"Although I am not a Saint, I am still a quasi-Saint of the highest grade. Besides the Tathagata Buddha of that year, I do not fear anyone else. Your master and disciple should also attain Nirvana."
What a Jade Emperor.
He truly harbored infinite power.
As soon as he spoke, two avatars suddenly appeared behind him: the good corpse Haotian Boy and the evil corpse Lingxiao Zhenren.
The difference was that because the spiritual treasure he entrusted his obsession to was not powerful enough, even though he had cut out two avatars, their strength could not compare to the Tathagata Buddha and others.
These two were at most at the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
But even so, the good corpse Haotian Boy held the Haotian Mirror, which could illuminate the three realms of the Great Desolation, making it impossible for anyone to hide. As for the evil corpse Lingxiao Zhenren, he pointed at the Lingxiao Palace, transforming it into a Nine Dragon Jade Seal, which could suppress all things with the supreme aura of the Three Realms' sovereign.
With the出手 of these two avatars, let alone the fact that Rahu was coveting Sun Wu Kong, even if he wasn't, Sun Wu Kong's situation would be precarious.
Moreover, the Jade Emperor himself, as the main body, had the cultivation of a quasi-Saint of the highest grade, second only to the Tathagata Buddha, and was far superior to ten Zhenyuanzis!
"Great Sage Sun, you should retreat. This humble monk is not afraid of death. They dare not truly kill you and me. At most, they will teach us a lesson and disrupt our merit."
"This humble monk cannot always rely on you for protection."
"This Jade Emperor…"
From below, Jin Chanzi's heroic voice suddenly rang out, instantly making Li Jing and the Southern Pole Immortal Weng beside him feel ashamed.
However, the latter could not bear the guilt any longer and decisively turned against the Jade Emperor.
Protecting Jin Chanzi.
As for the former, as expected, he betrayed and sided with the Jade Emperor for the fifth time!
Even so, this dangerous situation did not make Sun Wu Kong despair.
Instead, because of a hint of red light he saw in his peripheral vision, Sun Wu Kong couldn't help but smile!
"What are you laughing at?"
"Exactly, what are you laughing at?"
"Dead monkey, even at this point, your mother doesn't care about you, Yuan Shi doesn't help you, even your Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun don't save you, and you still dare to laugh?"
Seeing Sun Wu Kong's smile carrying a hint of strangeness, the Jade Emperor, Rahu, and Li Jing all felt extremely displeased.
The three of them asked angrily almost simultaneously.
But Sun Wu Kong had no interest in answering.
He merely gave Rahu the middle finger, continued to lead him around the Heavenly River in a great battle, and disdainfully glanced at the Jade Emperor and Li Jing.
As if looking at dead men.
This gaze terrified Li Jing and made the Jade Emperor feel a little uneasy.
He might not worry about Sun Wu Kong winning.
But he had to worry about Sun Wu Kong potentially causing unexpected events that no one could have imagined, as he always did.
But this Sun monkey, when he calls heaven, heaven does not answer, when he calls earth, earth does not respond, who else can he find for help?
Patriarch Burning Lamp?
No.
This fellow even dared not take back Li Jing, who betrayed him, which showed how much he feared me.
Then Zhenyuanzi?
Even more impossible.
Zhenyuanzi's cultivation was not much stronger than Patriarch Burning Lamp's. Moreover, this time, all the Saints, both from the Heavenly Dao lineage and the Demonic Dao lineage, had returned home to seclude themselves.
He was likely also terrified.
However, besides these two, who else in the three realms of the Great Desolation dared to help Sun Wu Kong, and who else could resist me?
As the Jade Emperor hesitated.
Suddenly.
In a certain direction of the Earthly Immortal Realm.
A fiery red figure, no less imposing than the Jade Emperor, rapidly emerged from the peak of Mount Wuchao in Beiju Luzhou, intercepting the Jade Emperor.
The person who came was none other than Master Wuchao, who had long been persuaded by Sun Wu Kong to intercept the Jade Emperor!
"Amitabha!"
"This humble monk occasionally heard that the Demon Lord of the Three Realms was not in the Heavenly Court managing immortals but was at Liangjie Mountain causing suffering to countless beings, so this humble monk had to come. Please do not be offended, fellow Daoist Jade Emperor."
"Oh, right, at the invitation of Great Sage Sun, besides this humble monk, the Peacock Mingwang of the Great Vehicle Buddhism of the Western Teachings has also appeared."
Master Wuchao was indeed the tenth prince of the ancient demon race. His words were full of emotional intelligence, and he did not directly confront the Jade Emperor, but he used these words to deter the Jade Emperor.
Although his cultivation had fallen significantly from the quasi-Saint lower grade after the last explosion, within seconds of his appearance, the Peacock Mingwang appeared.
As the Peacock Mingwang landed, he shielded the trembling Jin Chanzi and Southern Pole Immortal Weng with one hand, and with the other, he grasped a mass of five-colored light.
This was his Five-Colored Divine Light, famous throughout the Great Desolation.
Without any threat.
Without any other actions.
But the posture of the Five-Colored Divine Light encircling his body had already shocked the Jade Emperor by a third. Even though the Jade Emperor considered himself the second among the nine quasi-Saints, he did not dare to face two formidable opponents!
…
At the same time.
As if sensing that Rahu and the Jade Emperor had encountered resistance, the three demonic armies in the human realm began to accelerate their attack.
At Jiayuguan Pass, the vanguard army of eight million Asura sect, led by the Four Great Demon Gods, engaged in a battle with Li Bai and the first monkey hair avatar of Sun Wu Kong.
As expected, due to the extreme power of the Four Great Demon Gods and their venomous spiritual treasures, Sun Wu Kong's first monkey hair avatar was the first to face disaster and was killed.
Li Bai, due to his short cultivation time and lack of suitable spiritual treasures, was forced to retreat repeatedly.
But soon, as Patriarch Burning Lamp and others appeared.
The tide of battle changed again!
"As expected, Great Sage Sun's calculations are unparalleled. He seemed to have foreseen the tragic battle in the human realm. Listen, all Buddhas of Spirit Mountain, regardless of past grievances, you must go all out this time."
"Otherwise, this Buddha will be the first to not spare him!"
As Patriarch Burning Lamp spoke, he brought all the personnel from the first to the fourth battalions to aid Li Bai!
