Memories from ancient times flooded his mind. The image of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who once lay on the peach tree stealing peaches, gradually overlapped with the image of Sun Wukong, who was engulfed in hellfire.
Suddenly, Fang Xiu had an idea.
"Sun Wukong, since we're all bored anyway, why don't you gamble with me for a couple of rounds?"
The moment the word "bet" was mentioned, the little monkey in front of him clearly became interested. He even lost interest in the peaches in his hand and quickly raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Okay, okay, what are we betting on?"
Fang Xiu bent down to pick up the peach pit from the ground, spread his palm in front of Sun Wukong, and said calmly, "Let's guess the peach pit."
"Guess which hand I have the peach pit in. If you guess right, I'll give you all the peaches I just had."
"Give them all to me!?" The little monkey jumped up excitedly. "Great! I can eat peaches again! I was locked up in a dark place by that bad guy, and I haven't eaten peaches for a very, very long time."
"If you're wrong, you have to do something for me."
The little monkey's eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, it said, "Okay, but what you say can't be too difficult, and you can't cheat!"
Fang Xiu nodded, then put his hands behind his back, stored the peach pit in his divine kingdom, and then placed his fists in front of the little monkey, asking him to guess.
The little monkey stared excitedly at his fists, looked at his left hand, then at his right hand, and finally firmly grasped Fang Xiu's right hand.
Just as Fang Xiu was about to open his right hand, the little monkey suddenly said, "This hand... isn't there!"
After saying that, he pulled open Fang Xiu's right hand, and sure enough, it was empty.
"Great! I won!" The little monkey jumped for joy.
Fang Xiu stared silently at his empty right hand, never expecting that Sun Wukong was so clever and cunning even as a child.
Back in ancient times, he made a bet with Sun Wukong and had to restart the game several times before he finally won. Unexpectedly, many years later, he was facing Sun Wukong when he was a child, and they had to restart the game again.
Fang Xiu waved his hand and conjured up the Peach Mountain from before, then prepared to reopen it.
But then, the little monkey suddenly came over, placed a peach in his hand, and grinned like a child, saying, "You gave me a peach to eat, you're a good person, so I'm willing to help you. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Fang Xiu looked at the peach in his hand and fell silent for a moment. He took a small bite of the peach, and the sweet juice filled his mouth.
"Drive Satan away."
The little monkey's smile gradually faded, and he looked somewhat frightened. But this time, he didn't refuse. Instead, he said to Fang Xiu, "After I chase away the bad guys, shall we continue guessing the peach pit?"
Fang Xiu nodded: "Okay."
Then, the little monkey slowly closed his eyes, and the raging hellfire on his body suddenly changed, with a golden light rising up and mixed in.
At the same time, Satan's roar rang out: "Get out of here!"
"You bad guy! You're the one who should leave!" came the little monkey's voice.
The two seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle within their bodies, and Sun Wukong's body was also undergoing rapid changes. A magnificent righteous energy unique to immortals and gods was surging forth, and the golden flames on his body were becoming increasingly intense.
In an instant, his body was filled with both divine and demonic power, as if he were one with the divine, the holy, the evil and the wicked!
"It's just a few peaches! If you want to eat them, I'll give them to you, a thousand times, ten thousand times!" Satan's voice grew increasingly furious.
"I don't want your peaches. I promised him, and I have to keep my word!"
boom!
The golden flames on Sun Wukong's body suddenly surged, driving away the demonic flames.
"No!!"
Satan unleashed a final roar, and under the repulsion of the golden flames, a ball of pitch-black, raging demonic flames was expelled from Sun Wukong's body.
This is the very origin of Satan.
Undeterred, Satan relentlessly rammed into Sun Wukong's body, but each impact was blocked by the golden flames, and he even let out a shrill scream due to the burning of the golden flames.
Fang Xiu looked at the primordial energy, his eyes lowered slightly, and countless chains of hell suddenly emerged from beneath his scarlet robe.
"You want to possess my body? Then merge with me, Satan!"
"All Demons Pay Homage! Reincarnation Devours Heaven!"
Boom—!
A terrifying, forbidden aura rose up, and endless, profound, and obscure runes emerged from the body, forming a towering portal in the void.
As the world plunged into eternal night, countless eyes emerged from the darkness, followed by celestial demons who stepped out of the darkness and merged into the towering gate.
The next moment, billions of hellish chains emerged from the portal, locking Satan's essence tightly, and then began to pull.
Even though Satan had suffered heavy damage, he still possessed a powerful force of resistance. No matter how hard Fang Xiu tried, he could not budge him in the slightest.
At this moment, the little monkey next to him roared, his whole body burning with intense golden flames. He made a grasping motion with both hands, and a golden cudgel made of golden flames instantly took shape.
He suddenly swung his sword, striking Satan's essence hard, like hitting a baseball, directly knocking Satan's essence into his doorway.
The moment the source of Satan entered his body, Fang Xiu felt as if he were being burst open, his body expanding violently. He quickly unleashed Nuwa's creation secrets, a five-colored light spreading throughout his body, forcefully suppressing the source of Satan.
Originally, with his strength, it would have been impossible for him to devour Satan's essence. But fortunately, Satan brought it upon himself by trying to seize Sun Wukong's soul. He failed to break through to the Ancient God realm and lost the battle of consciousness. After being expelled, he was hit by Sun Wukong's staff and was already extremely weak.
"Come with me." Fang Xiu grabbed Sun Wukong's hand, activated teleportation, and fled towards the direction of the Supreme Heaven.
He must hurry back to the highest heavens and ask the gods to help suppress Satan. Right now, he can only barely hold him back. Before long, Satan will recover, burst his body, and break free.
......
......
The highest heaven.
A meteor burning with brilliant golden flames suddenly streaked down from the void, startling all the gods.
When the golden light dissipated, the figures of Sun Wukong and Fang Xiu were revealed.
"Great Sage!?" some immortals exclaimed, as if they could not believe their eyes. Sun Wukong, who had clearly vanished in the cycle of reincarnation, had actually returned today?
"Help! He...he's injured!" The little monkey was extremely anxious, scratching his head in distress. Fang Xiu beside him was in very bad shape, his face pale and bloodless, and the multicolored light around him was getting weaker and weaker. On the contrary, an extremely evil aura was faintly revealed, constantly rampaging through his body.
"Who hurt the descendant of Nuwa?!"
"Quickly, save them!"
Swish, swish, swish...
Several beams of divine light arrived in an instant.
Pure divine power was channeled into Fang Xiu's body, helping him suppress the source of Satan.
"Let me do it," the Jade Emperor's voice suddenly rang out.
A golden dragon of myriad laws descended from the sky and rushed straight into Fang Xiu's body. The next second, the demonic energy on Fang Xiu's body slowly subsided, and his aura finally stabilized.
