Chapter Twelve: War!

  At this time, Ling Xiao Bao Dian had already been beaten into a state of utter chaos.

  Originally, it was the three disciples of Wukong against the four Heavenly Emperors, but as soon as they clashed, Sha Monk inexplicably hid at the back and sat cross-legged.

  As a result, only Monkey King and Pigsy were left to fight against the four of them, so the battle was extremely brutal. Monkey King was still okay, relying on his indestructible body and fighting fiercely with Jade Emperor and Longevity Emperor, all three suffered injuries, but Pigsy was completely the opposite.

  Although Zhu Bajie's magical powers were almost on par with Sun Wukong at this time, they were greatly discounted when put to use. He had a strong physique, but couldn't hit anyone, which made the old pig suffer greatly. Fortunately, whenever he was in danger, Sun Wukong would always lend a hand, but as time went on, Zhu Bajie was left with nothing but bruises.

  Luckily, Zhu Bajie's skin was thick and his flesh was sturdy, so although he had suffered many injuries, he wasn't seriously harmed. However, it was clear that he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. The tide of the battle was shifting in Sun Wukong's favor as time went on.

  "Old Sand, you're still not better? If you don't hurry up, you won't have Second Brother anymore." In his anxiety, Pigsy couldn't help but turn back to urge Sandy on.

  It was just this turn back that gave the Xuanwu Emperor and the Ziwei Emperor the opportunity to seize. The long-planned joint attack poured all its might onto Zhu Bajie's body. Suddenly, Bajie was beaten into a backward flight.

  But after the two completed this move, they didn't stop but instead gathered an even stronger spell, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to give Zhu Bajie a fatal blow.

  All of this was seen by Sha Wujing, who suddenly revealed a fierce glint in his eyes and was about to interrupt the spell he had been preparing from the beginning.

  "Lao Sha continues, I'll save Dizzy."

  The sound had not yet faded when Sun Wukong suddenly threw out the Golden Cudgel, sweeping away the Jade Emperor and the Longevity Emperor who were entwined in combat. He turned around and rushed towards Zhu Bajie who was flying upside down.

  Then, with a loud noise, a mighty force of star power surged out. Looking down again, a deep and bottomless big hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

  You should know that this is the place where the Jade Emperor usually holds court and discusses matters - the Lingxiao Hall. This is the face of the entire Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor has spared no effort in its construction. All the materials used are the finest jade stones, and there are countless large and small restrictions on top. Moreover, these restrictions have been accumulated by the Jade Emperor over several thousand years. Otherwise, this great battle would not have been decided here.

  Even so, a dark and huge hole was still opened, and the purple emperor and the Xuanwu Emperor's move had such great power. Even because the two borrowed the power of the stars in the sky, all the stars in the entire heavenly court were dimmed for a moment.

  The four great emperors cautiously approached the large hole, although it was reasonable to say that the monkey must have been seriously injured, but no one relaxed their vigilance without seeing it with their own eyes.

  Underestimating their opponent is something that would never happen to the four Heavenly Emperors. And yet, their opponent was none other than Sun Wukong, the infamous "undefeatable" from the Three Realms?

  Sha Wujing's teeth were clenched in anger, his eyes wide with rage as he watched his brothers fight desperately, severely injured and on the brink of death. He was unable to go forward and assist them, and this helplessness made him furious.

  However, even so, even if the murderous intention in his heart was overwhelming, Sha Wujing still didn't move. Only the blood tears at the corner of his eyes fully proved Sha Wujing's anger and heartache.

  Silently, he raised his head slightly, and the nine large prayer beads between his neck floated up quietly and fell onto Sha Wujing's clasped hands. Afterwards, one by one, they burst open silently. Not even a hint of spiritual power fluctuation was triggered.

  Actually, from the very beginning, the four heavenly emperors had noticed Sha Wujing, but no one paid attention to him. In the next generation, if Sha Wujing was spoken of in a good light, he would be called the Great General of the Rolling Curtain. If spoken of in a bad light, he would just be a gatekeeper. However, the number of gates he kept watch over was quite numerous, as all the large gates throughout the heavenly court, excluding those secret areas, were under Sha Wujing's management. Even the gates of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall had originally been opened and closed by Sha Wujing.

  Although Sha Wujing was promoted to Arhat after obtaining the scriptures, he is just a low-level Arhat, equivalent to the Giant Spirit God. To the Heavenly Emperor, such an existence can be crushed at any time and will not be taken seriously. The one they really care about is only Sun Wukong!

  Four Heavenly Kings stood guard at the edge of the big pit, eyeing each other warily. Everyone wanted to know what had happened to Sun Wukong, but no one dared to go down. Sun Wukong's steel-like bones were famous, and it was uncertain whether he would be injured or not.

  Finally, the four decided to join forces and attack again. Even if Sun Wukong was not injured from the previous attack, he would definitely not be able to escape this time. The four Heavenly Emperors gathered their strength, preparing for a Four Heavenly Emperor Combination Attack.

  At this moment, a beast-like roar came from the bottom of the cave, and the roar contained endless anger and self-blame. The four Heavenly Emperors were stunned for a moment. In this brief moment, a black shadow had already emerged from the bottom of the cave.

  The four heavenly kings immediately came to their senses, turned around and looked, and couldn't help but be overjoyed! It turned out that Sun Wukong was injured. Zhu Bajie stood in front of Sha Wujing with one of Sun Wukong's arms. Although the extent of the injury was unknown, it could be seen from the bloodstains on his back that the wound should not be light. Moreover, at this time, Zhu Bajie also had scars all over his body, and many wounds were still bleeding nonstop.

  "You, you're bullying us too much. Are you taking advantage of my slow speed? Bullying me is one thing, but you've even injured my senior brother. It seems that you really think we brothers have no one to rely on?" Pig Eight Precepts' face was covered in blood, looking ferocious and terrifying.

  "Today you'll know that pigs aren't so easy to bully!" As soon as he finished speaking, with a flick of his hand, the nine-toothed rake flew into Pigsy's hands.

  "Nine-toothed rake, combine!" A loud shout, and the nine-toothed rake began to jump up and down like a Buddha's heartbeat (refer to Iron Shattered Teeth's transformation). Afterwards, it surprisingly merged into everyone's body except Bajie's. And Bajie's entire body had already emitted a radiant glow that only top-grade magical treasures possessed.

  "Zhu Bajie's Desperate First Move - Devour!"

  Sha Wujing's mouth was agape with shock! He thought to himself: When did Second Brother learn this move? Shocked as he was, Sha Wujing anxiously looked over at his Eldest Brother, who was leaning against a pillar in the corner. But as soon as he took a look, Sha Wujing was stunned for half a day: What's going on? It seems like Eldest Brother is winking at me! Normally, only when Eldest Brother is about to play a trick on Second Brother does he do this! Sure enough, just after Pigsy charged forward with a ferocious face, Sun Wukong stood up leisurely under Sha Wujing's stunned gaze. With a mischievous grin at Sha Wujing, he sat back down. "Old Sha, how much longer will it take you to finish this?" Sun Wukong asked while watching Pigsy swiftly battle the Four Emperors of Heaven, using his pinky finger to pick at his ear. "Uh, soon, soon! Eldest Brother, won't Second Brother be in trouble? How did he become so powerful all of a sudden?"

  Here is the translation:

  Monkey King Sun Wukong withdrew his gaze and shrank his neck, asking, "Hehe, don't worry, this fool has merged with the divine power contained in Pangu's eyelashes. However, this fool doesn't know how to use it. He only has a body full of divine power but can only get beaten up. So I had no choice but to provoke his anger. Originally, I just wanted him to be able to fight back a bit, but unexpectedly, this fool has such skills. Tsk tsk, this speed is even faster than my筋斗云 (a type of cloud)!"

  Sun Wukong finished speaking and didn't forget to flick the earwax he had picked out at Jade Emperor Yu Huang. Then he shook his head and sighed, "What a pity, I missed."

  He was talking about the earwax!

  "What happened to Second Brother's pitchfork? How did it merge into his body?"

  "I don't know either. This fool gets angry so fiercely, it seems like we can't casually pinch his pig ears in the future."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Wujing, who was sitting next to him, suddenly shouted loudly, "Big Brother, quickly dodge! Second Brother is coming!"

  Sun Wukong immediately jumped up and dodged to one side. Pigsy also turned around and took a look. The first thing he saw wasn't Sha Wujing but Sun Wukong with a mischievous grin on his face.

  Although Pigsy was a bit foolish, he instantly knew he had been tricked. "Dead monkey, you deceived me again! I'm not done with you!"

  He clenched his fists, and the space around him suddenly compressed. Then he clasped his hands together, forming a wall-like spatial rift. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he flipped over to Sun Wukong's side.

  As soon as he landed, the pitchfork appeared in Pigsy's hand, ready to strike Sun Wukong. "Fool, stop playing around! Pay attention to protecting Old Sha!"

  "Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you later. You always know how to trick me."

  The two of them hadn't finished speaking when they felt a shockwave, and then saw that all the doors of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall had opened wide. A mighty river of water burst forth from the open doors, flooding the entire hall in an instant.

  Sun Wukong and Pigsy were already standing behind Sha Wujing, their faces sinister as they gazed at the four Heavenly Emperors struggling in the water.

  "Old Sha, look! Is Jade Emperor not a good swimmer? Why can't he float up?" This was Sun Wukong.

  "Ah, Big Brother, you're wrong. How could Jade Emperor not know how to swim? It's just that this water has problems." After speaking, Sha Wujing's face turned red with embarrassment.

  Just as the three of them were enjoying themselves, a white shadow swam out from the water and appeared in front of them. A handsome young man had joined their group.

  "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother. I'm back."

  This was the White Dragon, who had finally appeared.

  "Haha, Little White Dragon has done a great job this time! Old Sha's Flowing Sand River plus the weak sea water you brought, and then add Old Pig's Heavenly River heavy water. Haha, this time we won't turn the Heavenly Court into a vast ocean?!" Sun Wukong patted Little White Dragon on the shoulder.

  Seeing this, I believe everyone understands now? Previously, Little White Dragon had not appeared because he relied on his innate reverse-water dragon body to dive deep into the Underworld Ashura Realm and use his magical powers to bring up the weak sea water of the Ashura Sea. This was a signal for Sha Wujing, who used his magical powers in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to pull and locate Little White Dragon.

  Then Little White Dragon broke through the Eagle Gorge, and the weak sea water surged up from the Eagle Gorge, then merged with the Heavenly River water at the bottom of the river. After that, it merged with the Flowing Sand River water again. In the end, the three types of water merged to form the Nine Heavens Dead Water.

  As mentioned earlier, Sha Wujing was once a Rolling Curtain General, so when he first arrived at the Heavenly Court, he took advantage of the emptiness of the Heavenly Court's military power and opened all the gates that he could open. The consequences of this action were that after the Nine Heavens Dead Water surged out of the Heavenly River, it swept through the entire Heavenly Court.

  Regardless of whether it was a divine cave or a spiritual palace, everything was flooded by the great waters. Moreover, this water was not ordinary water; not only was its weight extremely heavy, but it also had no buoyancy at all. However, these were not the most terrifying aspects - the most terrifying thing was the corrosive power of this water.

  Everything that came into contact with it would slowly be corroded away, and one can imagine how desperate the heavenly soldiers must have felt when they returned to find that the Heavenly Court had disappeared, leaving behind only a vast ocean. In the eyes of outsiders, Sha Wujing, who seemed harmless, brought catastrophic destruction to the Heavenly Court at the critical moment!

  At this moment, Sha Wujing was still hesitantly asking Zhu Bajie if he should bring up the water from the Heavenly River as well. And Zhu Bajie? After laughing slyly, he said: "This isn't suitable, is it? Why don't we bring down the Guanghan Palace instead?" Then, let's have an Ice Age!
