Chapter 49 The Great Battle Begins
Chapter 49 The Great Battle Begins
However, the Heavenly Court had ample reason to campaign against him, claiming he had stolen every last Peach of Immortality from the Peach Orchard of Immortality and had eaten all of the Nine-Turn Golden Pills that Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had concocted for the Jade Emperor.
"This is a trap!" the Monkey assured himself, and with that thought, he could not help but bitter laugh.
Always proclaiming himself the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, holding his head high, he had never imagined he'd be manipulated like a clown to the applause of others. Now, with his great error made, he had no chance to turn back, leaving the ever-competitive Monkey feeling deeply dejected.
After his dejection came anger, rage blazed in his heart. He bellowed skyward, unwilling to be played by others. Now that Lu Yu had eliminated his concerns from behind, he could finally unleash himself and wreak havoc, no longer hesitating. His spirit to battle against the heavens erupted, scattering the clouds in the sky.
Just then, a sudden report arrived that the grand army of the Heavenly Court was approaching, and the Nine Luminaries Star Lords were already calling out challenges outside.
"Good, since you force my hand, how about I create the chaos you so desire!" At that moment, the Monkey bristled with the intent to fight, desperately needing to vent. He donned his battle robes and took out his Ruyi Jingu Bang, then charged out of his cave.
Seeing the Nine Luminaries Star Lords at the entrance, he didn't say a word and raised his iron rod to strike. Seeing his aggressive demeanor, the Star Lords also drew their weapons, not daring to take him lightly.
"What's gotten into this monkey, has he swallowed gunpowder? Usually, when he sees us, he's all smiles, calling us brothers, but today, he starts fighting without a word."
"Be careful, this monkey has gone mad. Don't get careless and get injured; his Ruyi Jingu Bang is no trifling matter."
While the Nine Luminaries Star Lords were still inwardly grumbling, the Monkey was already fighting furiously, not caring about past relationships. His iron rod blocked and parried left and right, causing the nine Star Lords endless grief.
As seasoned members of the Heavenly Court, they knew well that there was a great secret behind the Monkey's repeated defiance of Heavenly Stripes without consequence. The funniest part was that he had even been officially titled the Great Sage Equalling Heaven. Now, respecting the prestige of the Heavenly Emperor, they had to take action.
Seeing the Monkey in a frenzy, they already felt the desire to retreat. They exchanged looks, and dragging their weapons, they fell back in defeat and rushed to the central army tent, where they said to Devaraja, "This Monkey King is extraordinarily valiant! We couldn't stand against him and have fled from the battle."
"Who doesn't know his little schemes? This time the Peaches of Immortality had matured once in nine thousand years; he wouldn't let such divine substances enter our mouths."
"Say less, after all, he is the revered Heavenly Emperor, returning empty-handed wouldn't look good superficially. Below are seventy-two Demon Kings; if we capture one or two, it'll look better."
As this was said, everyone's eyes lit up—who would want to antagonize the monkey in his current state? Capturing a few Demon Kings would also count as completing their task.
So a strange scene unfolded on the battlefield: many immortals avoided the monkey whenever they saw him and rushed toward other demon kings who were desperately charging forward; those unwitting demon kings, originally hoping to make a name for themselves, ended up as scapegoats.
This chaotic battle lasted from day to night, and the monkey had almost vented his frustration. Seeing that it was getting dark, he was too lazy to continue entangling with the celestial gods. Using an external technique, he pulled a handful of hairs, chewed them, and shouted, "Transform!" Instantly, he turned into hundreds of Great Saints, all wielding Jingu Bangs.
The immortals of the Heavenly Court quickly stepped aside, shouting, "Impressive, Monkey, truly formidable!" However, their faces showed no signs of distress, only shouts from their mouths.
Seeing this, Li Tianwang was at a loss for words. Indeed, these fellows had been mingling in the Heavenly Court for a long time, each skilfully doing the bare minimum.
However, he felt this was acceptable as well; at least he, as the commander, could report to the Jade Emperor. They failed to capture the Monkey, but all his subordinate Demon Kings were caught, which counted as a merit.
Thinking this, he waved his hand to let the indolent fellows retreat, pondering how to report to the Jade Emperor, given that the formalities still had to be observed.
The monkey returned to his cave and counted his troop, finding none of his monkey or monkey grandchildren missing. On the contrary, those demon kings and Demon Soldiers who had surrendered were all captured, filling his heart with myriad emotions. He looked around at the frightened monkeys and began to comfort them, "Victory and defeat are common for soldiers.
The ancients said, 'To kill ten thousand enemies, you lose three thousand of your own.' Moreover, the captured leaders were merely tigers, leopards, wolves, badgers, and foxes. None of our kind was harmed, so why worry? Although he forced me to use the Doppelganger Technique and retreat, he still set up camp at the foot of our mountain.
Let's guard vigilantly, have a hearty meal, get a good night's sleep to restore our spirits. Tomorrow, watch as I use the Great Divine Power to capture these Heavenly Generals and avenge the others."
