Chapter 377 - 154: The Great Battle (Part 4)

The battle between Monkey and the Bull Demon King, though louder and more destructive, could not compare to the immense pressure from the Imperial Decree of the Primordial.

It was an incomprehensible power, one that made people feel despair, because their moves could wipe out a person effortlessly and incomprehensibly.

Such silent power was far more terrifying than the earth-shattering actions of Monkey and his fellows, and it sent a deeper chill down one's spine.

As the blast of air turned into a fierce wind sweeping into the distance, Lu Yu slightly raised his head in Flame Mountain and smiled, thinking to himself that Monkey must be having a great time.

Beneath him, a mysterious space had already appeared, with a pale blue rule quietly lying inside, surrounded by mysterious restrictions.

This was a strategy discussed among the three of them, creating a diversion with Monkey and Bajie attracting the attention of Nether River while he secretly eroded Nether River's restrictions, hoping to take advantage unnoticed.

At this moment, however, he also had a backup plan, just in case Nether River, backed into a corner, decided to descend in his true form. Thus, Lu Yu took extreme care in gradually wearing down the restrictions, striving to avoid detection from Nether River.

Even if discovered, he wasn't worried, as he had already prepared an escape route; thinking of this, he turned his head to see Monkey's avatar quietly standing by his side.

The wind blew over the mouth of Guan River, and in a temple, Erlangshen gently raised his head, looking toward the west, the direction where Monkey and the Bull Demon King were fiercely fighting.

"Brother, what's up? Why have you stopped drinking?" asked the Six Brothers of Meishan.

Erlangshen simply smiled and said, "Stopped drinking, I'm off to see a great show!"

"What event in the Three Realms has caught Brother's attention this time?"

"Haha, a grand battle has already begun. It would be regrettable not to watch it."

The more Monkey fought, the more exhilarated he became. Unwittingly, he had already employed the power of the Five Qi, and in an instant, Bull Demon King felt something was amiss. Monkey's Jingu Bang grew heavier with each strike, as if a whole world was crashing down upon him.

As time passed, Bull Demon King gradually felt weaker. The prolonged battle made his body tremble, yet Monkey appeared more spirited and even more formidable. Seeing this, Patriarch of the Nether River quickly took control over the body; he could not allow such a valuable pawn to be destroyed by Monkey.

As they say, experts watch the technique while laymen enjoy the show. To the ordinary Heavenly Soldiers, Monkey and Bull Demon King still seemed evenly matched, but to the more spiritually advanced immortal gods, it was clear that Bull Demon King was destined to lose.

Because Monkey had already reached the Five Qi, and he had begun to employ the power of the Five Qi at this time. At this moment, Monkey had a whole world as his backup, and unless that inner world shattered, he possessed endless strength and could keep fighting indefinitely.

"In just a thousand years, Great Sage Equalling Heaven has already reached the Five Qi, isn't this what they call Child of Heavenly Destiny?!" some immortals sighed.

"Compared to him, we appear rather foolish, having become immortals so much earlier, yet now Monkey has reached the Five Qi, and we are still stuck at the threshold, unable to progress a single step," they lamented.

"Alas! Let's disperse, it's no longer interesting. With Monkey deploying this tactic, Bull Demon King is definitely no match."

Soon, many immortals left Heavenly Gate with a melancholic aura, though a few remained, observing the battle through the Heavenly Mirror.

At this point, Patriarch of the Nether River had successfully regained control, and seizing a pause in Monkey's attacks, he leapt forth and transformed into a flying bird, preparing to escape.

Just as Monkey lifted his Jingu Bang, Bull Demon King had vanished without a trace. He quickly used his Brass Eye and saw a swan flying in the sky, which was Bull Demon King transformed.

"Old Bull, stop right there!" Monkey bellowed, transforming into a Conch and pounced towards the swan.

Seeing this, Bull Demon King knew it was Monkey's transformation and turned into a flying eagle to counterattack. Monkey chuckled softly and transformed into a Black Phoenix, specifically to best the flying eagle.

The two then engaged in a battle of transformations, neither able to overpower the other. Bull Demon King, enraged, revealed his true form. A colossal White Ox appeared before the crowd, towering and stretching to the skies, its head like a great mountain and its horns like towers reaching the heavens, shimmering in the sunlight with a chilling glint.

"This time, I'll see how you can best me," controlled by Patriarch of the Nether River, Bull Demon King chuckled.
