Zhen Yuanzi and Sun Wukong, the sworn brothers who swore brotherhood during their journey to the West, came to help Houtu fight against the three great chaotic demons!
They also had a relationship with Ketu Star Lord.
Sun Wukong, in particular, knew Jidu Xingjun long before he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain.
“Sun Wukong, Zhen Yuanzi.” The Chaos Demon Rabbit squinted its eyes.
These two, like the Styx Daoist, the Demon Master Kunpeng, the Queen Mother of the West, and Zhujiuyin, are great supernatural beings who have attained the Primordial Saint Realm in the last million years.
Its power at that time was far greater than that of Ketu Star Lord's attainment of enlightenment today!
It's just that there weren't as many enemies blocking the way as there are today.
After all, although Zhen Yuanzi, Xi Wangmu, Minghe Daoren, and Yaoshi Kunpeng had traveled through the prehistoric world and competed with others in ancient times, they actually did not have many enemies.
Therefore, having three or five close friends can help protect one's way.
The same applies to Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiuyin. The demon race has declined, and the once-ruling demon court has been destroyed for many eras. Now, whether the newly born demon heroes recognize Donghuang Taiyi and the demon emperor Dijun is another matter, let alone expect them to deal with the experts of the witch race.
Moreover, even with Houtu in charge and Donghuang Taiyi present, they were unable to penetrate the Netherworld and could hardly stop Zhujiuyin from becoming a saint!
Unlike Ketu, who has many friends, Ketu also has countless enemies.
Especially Ketu, who is the originator of the human race.
This is different from the situation of the aforementioned important figures.
There are many important figures who are unwilling to see humanity flourish.
Therefore, even though Ketu Star Lord achieved the status of a weak saint, he still had countless powerful beings who came to ambush him, as well as many formidable figures who offered their assistance.
"The Eight-Eared, Eight-Armed Chaos Rabbit... I haven't fought any other Chaos Demons since I became a saint." Sun Wukong gripped his Ruyi Jingu Bang, eager to try.
He is the Monkey King of Flower Fruit Mountain, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven in Heaven, and the Victorious Fighting Buddha in Buddhism!
The phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, the chainmail golden armor, and the lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes further accentuated Sun Wukong's brilliance throughout the heavens!
His name resounded throughout the three realms of the primordial world, and was revered by all races.
It should be noted that Zhen Yuanzi, Xi Wangmu, Minghe Daoren, and the Demon Master Kunpeng are all ancient monsters who have lived for countless years.
From the moment a naturally born stone monkey sprang from a rock beside Flower Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong's age is probably less than a fraction of those ancient beings.
This further enhanced Sun Wukong's prestige, and even the immortals, Buddhas, demons, and monsters of the various sacred sites had to bow down to him.
Once you become a saint, everything changes.
There's an old saying: "Below the sage, all are ants."
Even a weak sage can only say that half of his body has jumped off the chessboard, but he still cannot be considered to have transcended it.
Only the true Primordial Chaos can stand proudly above the primordial world, look down upon countless worlds, and be revered by all under heaven!
Huaguo Mountain has now been included among the sacred sites of sages.
For this reason, all parties paid homage to Sun Wukong. Perhaps because of his different status and titles, the respect they showed was genuine.
Sun Wukong was indifferent and could not find any opponents.
Similarly, why would those chaotic demons go looking for trouble with Flower Fruit Mountain for no reason?
The existence of Flower Fruit Mountain and Sun Wukong could not interfere with the plans of the Chaos Demon God.
Therefore, only now does Sun Wukong have a worthy opponent in the Holy Realm, someone he can fight!
"Sun Wukong, you are a demon, why don't you go and assist Donghuang Taiyi and the Demon Emperor Dijun?" the Chaos Demon Rabbit asked.
"Hehe, I, Old Sun, am a monkey, not a demon," Sun Wukong said with a smile. "All living beings under heaven are of different kinds, how can they all be called 'demons'?"
"Just as sheep and wolves, or carnivores and herbivores, are natural enemies, it is utterly ridiculous to expect them to be considered demons and serve in the same court!"
"The Eastern Emperor and the Demon Emperor merely want to gather the power of all races to secure their own positions."
"You know, plants are hostile to herbivores, and the latter despise carnivores... These three have actually been categorized as demons by them..."
"That's not just a simple conflict, it's a struggle for the survival of our race!"
"Why was it that the Demon Court, which once gathered all races, could not defeat a single witch clan?"
"Isn't this precisely the intensity of internal strife?"
"When those naturally sworn enemies break out into war, neither the Eastern Emperor nor the Demon Emperor can stop it unless both sides are exterminated!"
Sun Wukong didn't bother with the actions of Donghuang Taiyi and the Demon Emperor Dijun.
He only needs to take care of the monkey tribe.
What demon race... what do those fox, tiger, rabbit, snake, dog, and bull races have to do with monkeys?
Because they shared the same ideals and values, they formed an alliance and even established a dojo... This was all normal, and Sun Wukong didn't see anything wrong with it.
But they insist on different races acknowledging that they are one family...
"You want the sheep tribe to admit that they and the wolves are the same kind of people..."
Sun Wukong shook his head; this was completely contrary to the natural order.
The demon race, conceived by Donghuang Taiyi and Demon Emperor Dijun in their struggle for the destiny of the primordial world, has a fatal flaw from the start!
Otherwise, why were there still many races that did not join when the Demon Court was still alive?
Even those who entered the Demon Court in the early stages gradually lost their clans later on.
If the Eastern Emperor and the Demon Emperor cannot resolve conflicts like the wolves and sheep, then frankly speaking, the entire demon race will find it difficult to have any sense of unity, and thus, it will be difficult to gain much recognition.
Demon Master Kunpeng and others withdrew one after another when the Demon Court ruled the heavens and the Witch Clan, who governed the earth, were on equal footing. They went into seclusion in the four corners of the world and no longer interfered in the affairs of the Witch and Demon.
At this moment, Demon Master Kunpeng, located in Beiju Luzhou, was also observing the multiple battle groups in the sky. He also saw the appearance of Demon Emperor Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, but he had no intention of showing himself.
They went their separate ways long ago.
"snort."
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, both Donghuang Taiyi and the Demon Emperor Dijun snorted coldly.
However, with the Eastern Emperor Bell clashing with the Green Lotus Sword and Emperor Jun locked in battle with Zhu Jiuyin, neither had the time to confront Sun Wukong.
"roar."
With a loud roar, the ferocious and incomparably powerful Chaos Demon Tiger set its sights on Sun Wukong.
"Monkeys, if they become my accomplices... I wouldn't even look at ordinary monkeys, but the Spirit Stone Monkey is qualified." The Chaos Demon Tiger said ferociously.
The three thousand chaotic demons before Pangu created the world had different forms, some of them quite bizarre.
However, the demon gods blocked the way, and Pangu slaughtered all around, most perishing, with a few surviving and entering the primordial world... In general, the appearance of the creatures in the primordial world in later generations was deeply influenced by this.
They cannot be called ancestors or descendants, after all, all races were conceived and nurtured by the primordial universe, rather than being creations of chaotic demons and gods.
However, from certain perspectives, a connection can indeed be made.
Furthermore, the chaos is boundless, the Great Dao is eternal, and three thousand demon gods were born... How could the related Dao essence have completely disappeared in the primordial world without any manifestation?!
In fact, when Pangu created the world, the primordial universe took shape, and among the naturally emerging life forms, there were familiar shapes such as dragon, tiger, black tortoise, and vermilion bird.
"The Chaos Demon Tiger? A worthy opponent!"
Despite being a chaotic demon god from the sacred realm, Sun Wukong was still full of fighting spirit.
Sun Wukong is unparalleled in battle. He can face anyone and anything, and even if the Dao Ancestor Hongjun were to descend, he would not be afraid!
"Hey, take this from me!" Sun Wukong's phoenix-winged purple-gold crown swayed as he wielded his Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) and swung it at the Chaos Demon Tiger.
"A newly promoted Hunyuan dares to be so arrogant?" Chaos Demon Tiger sneered.
With a whooshing sound, demonic mist surged around his body, and large swaths of chaotic energy spread.
Then countless vengeful spirits appeared, each with a pale face and swollen body, looking extremely pitiful.
However, influenced by the Chaos Demon Tiger's innate divine power, its strength actually surpassed that of its previous life.
However, with a sweep of the golden cudgel, the black mist dissipated, unable to hinder Sun Wukong's charge in the slightest.
At the same time, Sun Wukong also invoked Buddhist teachings. After all, he was the Victorious Fighting Buddha, and over so many tens of thousands of years, his study of Mahayana Buddhism was quite profound, and he had integrated it into his own path, thus becoming a saint.
"Buzzing".
Among them are many Buddhist scriptures for the salvation of the dead. Sun Wukong used them to convert all the endless evil spirits, restoring their clarity and freeing them from the control of the Chaos Demon Tiger.
"Victorious Fighting Buddha, we are eternally grateful!"
The ghosts bowed in gratitude.
"Go and be reincarnated." Sun Wukong waved his hand, knowing that Houtu and Zhujiuyin had come out, and that Dijiang and Xuanming were still guarding the underworld.
Moreover, the underworld already has a well-established system of operation. These beings above the level of weak saints are merely a foundation and trump card, not a necessary position like judge.
With a "whoosh," the liberated ghosts were immediately thrown into the underworld.
The Ten Kings of Hell, being in charge of their duties, naturally welcomed all who came. They instructed their judges, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and others to carefully investigate these ghosts. They determined whether these ghosts were good or evil when they were alive, what kind of family they should be reborn into, or whether they were sent to the eighteen levels of hell... all of which could be discerned by the Book of Life and Death.
With Dijiang, Xuanming, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the Ten Kings of Hell all present, there's no fear of the ghosts causing trouble.
Meanwhile, outside the realm, the Chaos Demon Tiger was already enraged!
"Damn Sun Wukong!" The Chaos Demon Tiger roared, and the wind and clouds followed, causing a great change in the celestial phenomena.
His innate supernatural powers were also activated, secretly harming Sun Wukong.
"Thump." Sun Wukong sensed it, and a golden light flashed on his body, breaking through the Chaos Demon Tiger's innate divine power.
Then, Sun Wukong swung his staff and smashed it down with tremendous force, displaying unparalleled power!
"Cough cough." The Chaos Demon God's supernatural powers were broken one after another, and his physical body was severely injured by the Golden Cudgel, causing him to bleed.
Such a sight shook the primordial world.
It should be noted that the Chaos Demon God was already a weak sage before Pangu created the world, and later became Hunyuan during the early Dragon-Han Calamity.
As a result, in a one-on-one battle, he was defeated by Sun Wukong...
"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven! The Victorious Fighting Buddha!"
Just as Sun Wukong and the Chaos Demon Tiger were engaged in their duel, Zhen Yuanzi also flicked his whisk and began a magical battle with the Eight-Eared, Eight-Armed Chaos Demon Rabbit.
"The days and months are long in the pot, and the universe is vast in the sleeve."
Zhen Yuanzi chanted, activating his unique supernatural power; however, his "Universe in the Sleeve" technique clearly had no effect on the Chaos Demon Rabbit.
"Hiss." The black feather robe worn by the demon rabbit flashed with dark light, and then the [Hidden Universe in the Sleeve] was deactivated.
"Bang." The Chaos Demon Rabbit leaped, its figure appearing and disappearing, shattering vast swathes of starry sea with each leap.
Zhen Yuanzi was cautious, after all, the enemy was a veteran of the Hunyuan Sacred Realm.
Of course, as the ancestor of earth immortals, Zhen Yuanzi was not afraid of the Chaos Demon Rabbit and was confident that he could fight it to a draw.
The duel between these two was rather calm and collected, unlike the violent duel between Sun Wukong and the Chaos Demon Tiger.
But they were all saints; even a wisp of their residual energy could crush the four continents—they were terrifying beyond measure!
But the most terrifying battle was definitely the fight between Houtu and the Chaos Demon Insect!
The Chaos Demon Tiger and Chaos Demon Rabbit were slightly inferior to the Chaos Demon Insect.
Zhen Yuanzi also fell behind Hou Tu.
Sun Wukong's talent is astonishing, but he is still young and has just become a saint. He is already quite powerful enough to suppress the Chaos Demon Tiger, but he is definitely still some distance away from the second level of the saint realm.
The three levels of the Primordial Sacred Realm correspond to the initial, intermediate, and advanced levels of the Seven Stars, respectively.
Houtu and the Chaos Demon Insect are both at the second level of Hunyuan, which is the middle level of the Seven Stars!
Just like Donghuang Taiyi and Tongtian Jiaozhu, the Demon Emperor Dijun and Zhujiuyin were slightly inferior.
"Buzz." Houtu flicked her sleeve, and the profound meaning of reincarnation spread in all directions, even the universe seemed to be falling into reincarnation.
"Crackling sounds." The obese Chaos Demon Worm accelerated its wriggling speed, and invisible waves of vibration shattered the cycle of reincarnation.
In that instant, the three thousand Great Daos and countless laws all wailed, seemingly unable to bear the Great Dao of the Sage.
The entire primordial universe trembled, directly shaken by the power of multiple saints!
A weak sage, perhaps, is still lacking something.
But the Primordial Saint Realm truly possesses the ability to destroy the entire universe!
"The Three Sovereigns, the Goddess Houtu, the Ancestral Witch Zhujiuyin, the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi, the Great Sage Sun, the Master of Tongtian, and the ten weak saints of Huoyun Cave... Tsk tsk, there's a whole group of big shots standing on the side of Jidu Star Lord."
Throughout the Three Realms, many of the immortals, Buddhas, demons, and monsters who were watching this battle exclaimed in admiration.
That Jidu star lord is truly popular.
However, some experts hold different opinions.
"Heh, are there few who are hostile to Lord Ketu?"
"The Chaos Ferocious Shark, the Chaos Demon Insect, the Demon Emperor Di Jun, the Chaos Demon Rabbit, the Chaos Demon Tiger, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and eight Chaos Demon Gods at the Weak Primordial Chaos Realm, including the Chaos Demon Spider, the Chaos Giant Serpent, and the Chaos Demon Scorpion..."
"I think even the Star Lord Ketu cannot escape this calamity!"
"At most, a wisp of true spirit may be protected and reincarnated, but in this world... it will surely perish!"
"That makes sense!"
The immortals and demons of all factions, large and small, thought it over carefully and all expressed their approval.
Who made Jidu Star Lord so shrewd and outspoken? He once killed the Chaos Demon Bull, a weak saint, while still a quasi-saint...
Having provoked so much hostility, it's only natural that many powerful figures would step in to obstruct his path.
It's highly likely that Ketu, the Star Lord, will meet his end today.
"Well, you're all speaking too soon."
"Although this Star Lord Jidu has overcome the tribulation of his inner demons, it is still unknown whether he can overcome the tribulations of lightning and fire."
"What kind of tribulation is it? That's secondary."
There were also experts at the Quasi-Saint level who spoke with malice.
Filled with envy and jealousy towards Lord Ketu, they wished for his demise!
This is why there are still weak sages and true primordial beings who have not yet taken action.
Perhaps, they won't even need to reveal themselves.
Thus, under everyone's watchful eyes, deep within the Northern Star Sea, Cao Ya faced the most intense calamity of the Weak Primordial Chaos!
"Boom..."
Chaos Divine Thunder, Primordial Divine Thunder, Taiyi Divine Thunder, Destructive Divine Wind, Terminating Demonic Wind, Corrupting Black Water, Profound Nether Heavy Water, Time True Water, World-Burning Karmic Fire, Turbid World Purifying Fire...
Countless winds, thunder, water, and fire surged down, illuminating billions of light-years with tremendous force!
In the end, all the calamities converged on one star, and all of them struck towards Cao Ya.
They vowed to ruin the cultivation of Lord Ketu!
