Chapter 294
Chapter 294
Terror filled both Western Sages’ faces at the sight of it.
Hadn’t it been destroyed?
Hadn’t their teacher said the God-Slaying Spear had been shattered?
Motherfucker. They really were going to die!
The Demon Progenitor had no interest in wasting words. He attacked them with the God-Slaying Spear.
Countless combatants across the Three Realms stopped fighting.
Blood rained from the sky amid thunder and lightning.
Sorrow spread between heaven and earth.
Suddenly, two strands of Primordial Purple Qi flashed past.
In the mortal realm, Su Daji’s expression grew grave. “Here it comes!”
“Who was it?”
“The Two Sages of the West.”
Qingqing had prepared everything. She activated the array, imitating the two Sages’ auras.
As if guided, the Primordial Purple Qi descended toward the mortal realm.
Their lucky star had earned that name for a reason. He could do what so many others couldn’t.
For instance, this!
Of the Primordial Purple Qi that should have descended to the mortal realm, one strand happened to stop as it passed Spirit Mountain.
At precisely that moment, Li Yang thought he saw an opening and punched Tang Sanzang away.
The purple qi now carried the two Sages’ own power.
Their lucky star, naturally, collided with one strand.
The fiendish energy, gu insects, and every other foreign thing inside him burned away in an instant.
An overwhelming pressure burst from his body.
Li Yang stared at the golden figure outside Spirit Mountain in silence for a long time.
Finally, he slowly uttered one syllable.
“Fuck.”
The Demon Master Kunpeng looked at the bald head shining with gold. “Retreat! Activate the mountain-protecting array!”
The demons were in for a difficult time.
Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, Qingqing scratched her head at the single strand of purple in the array.
“Shouldn’t there be two? Why’s there only one?”
Su Daji gave a rueful laugh. “Tang Sanzang intercepted the other.”
Qingqing looked up. “So being lucky really lets you do whatever you want?”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing. Little Susu, hurry and take this!”
Su Daji grasped the Primordial Purple Qi with her magic.
“What about you?”
“I don’t want it. Take it!”
“Thank you!”
Su Daji didn’t know what else to say.
This meant becoming a Sage, one of the strongest beings in all creation.
Yet someone had simply given her that opportunity.
In truth, though, what use was it to Qingqing?
Becoming a Sage only meant greater fighting power. How could that compare with the fun of scheming behind people’s backs?
Besides, she was here to cause trouble. One Sage on her side was enough!
Tang Sanzang’s true spirit was Jinchanzi, which drew forth the power left by the Western Sages upon their deaths.
Su Daji, however, wasn’t a Buddhist. That power would ultimately have to become demon energy and merge with her own.
Neither approach was necessarily better. Their lucky star could indeed gain tremendous power in an instant.
But he would inevitably be influenced by it as well.
Su Daji needed time to digest it, but once the power became her own, it would be easier to control.
The battle continued. The deaths of the Two Sages of the West brought all five remaining Sages to the scene.
Five against one. Evenly matched!
Even with the Demon Progenitor trapped inside the Immortal-Execution Sword Formation, the Sages struggled to pierce the Twelfth-Rank Black Lotus’s defenses.
The battle reached a stalemate.
Portents appeared throughout heaven and earth. First, a monk outside Spirit Mountain caused golden lotuses to spring from the ground.
Then a fox in the mortal realm summoned circling visions of the divine beasts of the four directions.
Tang Sanzang and Su Daji had become Sages!
A smile spread over their lucky star’s face as he felt the power within him.
“I’ll take on a hundred!”
He had barely made that grand declaration when heaven and earth changed again.
Golden light shone through the Three Realms. Wherever one stood, the phantom of a monkey was visible.
At the same moment, three more phantoms rose behind it.
This was Buddhism’s final measure: unite the power of the Four Primordial Monkeys to oppose the Demon Progenitor Luo Hou.
Their lucky star stared at the four towering forms in silence for a long time.
Nope. Couldn’t afford that fight. Time to retreat.
Take on a hundred?
One staff blow from each of those four monkeys would smash him to pieces!
By now, the entire scenario had entered its final stage.
Outside, the sky had darkened too.
The Amusement Park was nearing closing time.
When Zhang Bei returned, he found Meng Chuan crouching in a corner, muttering incessantly.
“How did it turn into this? That’s not how the script was written!”
“What’s wrong with you?”
Meng Chuan looked up at his boss and handed him the tablet.
“You’ve read the script. Things have… deviated from expectations.”
Zhang Bei rubbed his nose, took the tablet, and began playing the footage at triple speed.
He had skimmed the scenario Meng Chuan proposed.
It was a series of conspiracies designed to keep Monk Tang in the Kingdom of Women.
In the end, master and disciples would work together and resume their journey for the scriptures.
Li Yang was even supposed to be the final boss.
Tablet in one hand, teacup in the other, Zhang Bei watched them cause trouble.
Half an hour later, he set the tablet down, completely unmoved. Like hell he was!
“What was this film originally called?”
“Kingdom of Women: Conspiracy.”
As one of the people most familiar with the script, Meng Chuan answered without hesitation.
“Change the title.”
“To what?”
Zhang Bei thought carefully. “Journey to the West: Double-Crossers.”
Meng Chuan stared.
Chef Li, who had just arrived, stared.
The doctor standing nearby stared too.
What kind of title was that?
It didn’t sound like a respectable film at all!
Ignoring their looks, Zhang Bei quietly switched to the live feed.
Apart from Chuunibyou, the other three monkeys had gone west to oppose the demons and fiends.
As the strongest fighter in the entire scenario, Chuunibyou had already arrived beyond the thirty-three heavens.
The five Sages and the Demon Progenitor Luo Hou were evenly matched.
It took four Sages to break the Immortal-Execution Sword Formation. Not even the Demon Progenitor with his God-Slaying Spear could escape it.
But the Demon Progenitor had both the Twelfth-Rank Black Lotus and his own strength to rely on. The five Sages could barely hold him in check.
The monkey’s arrival inevitably tipped the balance.
“Welcome, Great Sage! Come help us!”
“Great Sage, the Three Realms must not be destroyed. Please act!”
“Great Sage!”
Chuunibyou studied the trapped Demon Progenitor in silence for a long time.
He disliked thinking, but he wasn’t stupid.
In this situation, whichever side he joined would win.
The Demon Progenitor realized something was wrong too. His eyes fixed on Chuunibyou.
“Visitor from another world. You are only passing through this one. Do you truly intend to interfere?”
Chuunibyou nearly dropped the Golden-Hooped Staff.
“You… know?”
The Demon Progenitor nodded. “A visitor from another world awakened me. Of course I know.”
Chuunibyou felt numb all over. Was he fighting or not? How was he supposed to fight now?
As he hesitated, Nüwa spoke from among those surrounding the Demon Progenitor.
“Whoever you are, please help us. For the sake of all living beings!”
