Chapter Fifteen: Good and Evil

  (Regarding the issue in the previous chapter. You may have noticed that a part is missing. Because when I first posted it, there was no problem, but later when I looked again, a section suddenly disappeared. It said there was illegal content. And what I wrote that day was gone. When I re-posted, it went up normally. I will find time to make up for it.)

  This world, in fact, has no distinction between right and wrong. As long as it exists, there is a reason for its existence. And those so-called rights and wrongs, good and evil, are just labels created by powerful groups to prove their own value and necessity. Therefore, this world has justice and evil, with gods who speak of benevolence, and monsters that are unforgivable. When these two opposing sides develop to a certain extent, ultimately, right and evil will erupt in an inevitable conflict. The winner becomes the new justice, the loser becomes the new evil.

  What is meant by "evil cannot defeat justice" is precisely because it is written by the victors.

  So, the war between the demon clan and the heavenly court is also inevitable, and in the end, there must be a winner and a loser. Many people understand this principle, so no one can afford to lose.

  The Heavenly Court, led by the Four Heavenly Emperors, with the Heavenly Generals behind them. The Demon Clan, on the other hand, was led by Sun Wukong, with his three junior brothers and the leaders of the Demon Clan behind him. The two sides faced off in front of the Chao Ting Hall. At this time, the great army of the Demon Clan had already begun to encircle and gradually shrink, while the Heavenly Army fought hard but continued to retreat. It was believed that it wouldn't be long before the Heavenly Army would be compressed near the Ling Xiao Hall. At that time, they would be surrounded by the great army of the Demon Clan.

  The majestic Heavenly Court was actually surrounded by a group of demonic creatures, what kind of shame is this? The four Heavenly Emperors would never allow such a thing to happen. And the only ones who can change the current situation are the four Heavenly Emperors taking action again, striving to kill or capture the high-end combat power of the demon tribe. In this way, under the leadership of the four Heavenly Emperors, the Heavenly Court may be able to counterattack from the state of being besieged and grasp the initiative!

  Then... the Jade Emperor stepped forward: "Sun Wukong, the grudges between you and me, I no longer want to mention. Now that you are also a commander of a region, every word and action represents the entire demon tribe. So, I challenge you. I will engage in a one-on-one battle with you, until one of us dies. No one is allowed to intervene. Will you dare to accept my challenge?" The first half of the sentence was still somewhat gentle, but the second half was filled with murderous intent and overbearing arrogance. A domineering aura suddenly surged forth. Who would have thought that the normally refined and elegant Jade Emperor also had such an overbearingly arrogant side?

  "Haha, Jade Emperor, I, Sun Wukong, can stir up the Heavenly Palace once, and I can do it again! What's there to fear from a mere Jade Emperor? I, Sun Wukong, was born for battle. Unyielding in life, unrelenting in war!" The last sentence seemed to ignite everyone's fighting spirit. "Unyielding in life, unrelenting in war! Unyielding in life, unrelenting in war!" This was the angry cry of all!

  "Alright, since that's the case, then let's go." Before his words had even faded away, the Jade Emperor had already transformed into a streak of light and flown off to the outer reaches of the sky.

  "Monkey King be careful, this old man is so arrogant, I'm afraid he's got some tricks up his sleeve." This was what Sha Wujing cautioned.

  Nothing to worry about, don't forget, I am the Great Sage Equal of Heaven Sun Wukong, born fearless! Haha haha. He laughed wildly and chased after them.

  "Since the Jade Emperor has already made contact with Sun Wukong, let's have some fun too?" After saying that, the Great Emperor of Hooking Fingers hooked his finger at Pigsy. Pigsy was originally unwilling to respond to battle, but suddenly seemed to hear a voice in his ear, and he was momentarily stunned. Then, a fierce and murderous intent burst out, causing the onlookers like Bull Demon King to be shocked and secretly think: "When did this Pigsy become so formidable?" At that moment, Pigsy had already turned around with the Nine-Toothed Rake in hand and charged forward fiercely. Without saying another word, he made a swift attack. Fortunately, the Great Emperor of Hooking Fingers was well-prepared and dodged it by flashing backwards, barely avoiding the attack. He then transformed into a stream of light and left. Pigsy turned his head to look back and also chased after him.

  At this time, there were still two Heavenly Emperors in the Heavenly Court, but the demon clan no longer had anyone who could rival the Heavenly Emperors. Just as the Bull Demon King was thinking of uniting everyone to take action, Sha Wujing hung his head and slowly emerged from the crowd. He stood at the very front, gazing at the two Heavenly Emperors in the distance.

  "Since my senior brothers have chosen their opponents, if I don't choose one too, wouldn't that be a loss of face for them?" he said, finishing with a slow lift of his head. Instantly, the opposing Longsheng Great Emperor and Ziwei Great Emperor gasped in unison.

  Heavens! This... this... this is actually Sha Wujing?! Such a ferocious countenance, such intense killing intent, such eerie evil energy, and this body of pure demonic power... who exactly is this?!

  "Who are you? How dare you impersonate Sha Wujing?"

  "I? Hehe, I was indeed Sha Wujing in the past, but now, I am a great demon of the demonic tribe. As for my name, I still prefer others to call me Sha Wujing!" Sha Wujing gently stroked the crescent-moon spade in his hand, while gazing at Zhiyu Dadi with an evil grin.

  "Impossible! How could Monk Sha become like you? He was just a cultivator of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, but your current demonic power is almost surpassing mine. How is this possible?"

  "It was impossible before, but now that I've unsealed it, everything is possible." As he spoke, Sha Wujing took down a string of prayer beads from his neck, except this string of beads was made up of nine skulls.

  "Weren't you already self-destructed when you summoned Dead Water in Ling Xiao Hall? How..."

  "How can that be? Heh heh, your sorrow is that you only use your own perspective to measure everything. Just like how you've always thought that Sha Wujing was just a simple and honest foolish monk. Foolish! Haha. The explosion of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was just my accumulated magical powers manifesting. This one thing is truly the center of the world's evil energy - the Sanzang skull rosary!"

  Sha Wujing laughed eerily, and his strength also made everyone present terrified. Before Ziwei Emperor could continue to ask, Sha Wujing seemed to have become impatient, only to see him put on the skull rosary around his neck, suddenly one of the skulls lit up, then heard Sha Wujing loudly shout: "Soldier".

  Then, Zhi Wei Da Di flew out backwards and in the blink of an eye, he had flown out of the Heavenly Court to the outer sky. Sha Wujing smiled slyly at Chang Sheng Da Di before suddenly disappearing from where he stood.

  Leaving behind only the stunned onlookers and a single thought:

  So, Sha Wujing is actually this powerful?

  In the arena, one Heavenly Emperor remained on the side of the Heavenly Court. On the side of the Demon Clan... there was no longer anyone who could fight against the Heavenly Emperor!

  "Who among you dares to fight me?" The Eternal Heaven Emperor looked at the demons with a smug face. But before he could say more, Niu Mo Wang suddenly shouted: "Fight your grandfather! Brothers, let's go together and gang up on him!" And so, the Eternal Heaven Emperor was caught off guard and had various magical artifacts slapped in his face by Niu Mo Wang and others. Although the Eternal Heaven Emperor wasn't injured, he was left looking disheveled. With a wave of his staff, he set up a green barrier in front of himself, and took advantage of the opportunity to retreat and regroup, preparing to teach this group of unruly demons a lesson!

  However, tragedies often come in a series. It wasn't until after being hit by a barrage of magical artifacts including the Fire Spear and the Universe Ring on his back that the Longevity Emperor finally understood this principle. He had been ambushed, and it was a group ambush!

  After erecting a lush green barrier again, the Emperor of Longevity learned his lesson this time. After carefully scouting out the surroundings in all directions, he smoothed out his hair and let out a deep breath: "You rodents dare to..." Before he could finish speaking, a flash of light streaked across, and the Emperor of Longevity let out a pained cry. Then, a bright white circle appeared in mid-air, swaying back and forth as if mocking someone.

  "Haha, old ox demon, this golden steel hoop of yours is quite a good treasure for launching sneak attacks. Unfortunately, your strength seems to be a bit lacking." This was the Bull Demon King speaking sarcastically.

  "Father king, you're wrong this time. The circle of Qing Niu uncle was not meant to smash people's heads." The ones who said this were the group of people who ambushed the back of Changsheng Great Emperor. This group included Hong Haier, Nezha, Hei Xiong Jing, Jin Zhan, Mu Zhan, Tongtian River Carp Spirit and Tota Tianwang Li Jing! Of course, just now in the ambush, Li Jing did not make a move, after all, as one of the commanders, he still had to maintain some dignity.

  "Hmm, so it's General Li Jing after all. My brothers and I were just about to gang up on this Emperor, I wonder if General Li has any interest in setting up a heaven-and-earth net to prevent escape?" The speaker was Peng Demon King, with a tone of sarcasm. Although he didn't know why Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Heaven, had defected to the demon tribe, the hatred from Li's past slaughter of demons couldn't be eliminated. But for the greater good, they also couldn't engage in mutual slaughter. How could Peng Demon King speak so politely to him?

  Li Jing was furious, but he didn't say anything. With a wave of his hand, the Twenty-Eight Constellations of the Heavenly Court appeared in the sky and formed a large array. Li Jing then took out his Lingluo Treasure Pagoda and shouted loudly: "Seal the heavenly net and lock the demon's great array."

  Then, it was a brutal group beating action, only it was a crowd of people beating the Longsheng Emperor!

  Let's not talk about the Great Emperor of Longevity for now, and instead speak of Sun Wukong who was currently entangled in battle with the Jade Emperor. When Sun Wukong landed from a somersault, he had already arrived at the outer reaches of the sky. And before him stood the Jade Emperor, looking rather pleased with himself. Upon seeing the Jade Emperor's mocking expression, Sun Wukong seemed to have sensed something.

  "Sun Wukong, I didn't expect that after all these years have passed, you still haven't made any progress. You're still as reckless and violent as ever. Didn't the Buddha's slap back then hurt enough for you?"

  "Hmph, Jade Emperor, I know you're not simple. You dare to bring me here alone, which means you have the confidence to win or have a way to suppress me again. Haha, but what's that got to do with anything? The debt from the Buddha will be settled sooner or later, no need for you to meddle."

  "Hmph, you insolent monkey, no matter how powerful you are, you're still just a wild monkey. I have accumulated the power of heaven for millions of years, do you think I can be destroyed by your mere words? Do you really think I'm just an old man who only knows how to review memorials? Then you are greatly mistaken. Today, let me show you, I, the Supreme Ruler of the Golden Palace of the Heavenly Gate, the Great and True Jade Emperor. What tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

  "Haha, I was just thinking of testing him out. In this world, apart from my master, there's no one else I've ever been afraid of."

  What needs to be said has been said, what's left is a fight to the death.

  "Nine Dragon True Qi, out!" In an instant, nine purple-golden dragons burst forth from behind the Jade Emperor's back. Suddenly, a heaven-and-earth-like pressure enveloped everything below. The nine purple-golden dragons coiled around the Jade Emperor, guarding him tightly. "One guards, eight go out." Following the Jade Emperor's voice, eight of the purple-golden dragons charged towards Sun Wukong with bared teeth and claws.

  Sun Wukong was initially somewhat disdainful, thinking that this method of using air to transform into a dragon was not particularly impressive. However, when the eight divine dragons charged towards him, Sun Wukong realized he had underestimated Jade Emperor. These nine purple gold divine dragons were probably not just simply transformed from air after all.

  However, Sun Wukong was not someone to be trifled with, and instead might have been a terrifying great white shark. In less than an instant, Sun Wukong adjusted his posture. But after the purple golden light flashed, Sun Wukong regretted it. Because he got hurt.

  The purple gold crown on his head was shattered into pieces, a strand of fresh blood flowed down Sun Wukong's forehead, and the sleeves on both arms were also gone. The wounds on both arms were countless. Although it couldn't be considered a serious injury, this first encounter left Sun Wukong at a disadvantage due to his carelessness.

  Without wiping the blood from his forehead, Sun Wukong looked up at the Jade Emperor, a slight smile on his lips: "It seems that I can finally let go and make a move. Haha, haha, after being suppressed for so many years, it's time to release it, haha."

  With Sun Wukong's nearly mad laughter, a monkey with a ferocious face and golden hair standing on end appeared beside him. Sharp claws, rough muscles, a domineering body, and sharp fangs. The entire space was filled with demonic energy and brutal murderous intent.

  "Release the Body of the Giant Ape in Heaven!"
