Volume 4: Journey to the West Chapter 27 Showdown
The Four Heavenly Kings immediately turned around and prepared to leave. Although their gods were listed in the List of Gods, even if they died, the Jade Emperor could resurrect them as long as he consumed the luck of Heaven.
But this does not mean that they have no losses. All accumulations such as incense and so on will be cleared to zero, which means they have to open a new account.
Besides, what if the Jade Emperor doesn’t resurrect them?
No, I have to run.
Before Tian Peng was demoted to the mortal world, they were no match for Tian Peng. Now that Tian Peng has recovered his strength and seems to be even stronger, they are even less of a match for Tian Peng. How could they dare to really fight Tian Peng at this time? The Jade Emperor was also deceiving them. They had never seen a person whose divine body was broken and who could really recover his strength.
I don't have time to explore the reasons, I'll just run away first.
However, facing Baoer's death, how could Tianpeng let the Four Heavenly Kings go easily? At this moment, Tianpeng realized the seven emotions and six desires of the world, and even more so realized his own great way. He had completed sublimation from body and mind to the great way, reaching the peak level of Taiyi Golden Immortal. The whole person seemed to have undergone tremendous changes.
If his former colleagues in heaven saw Tianpeng at this time, they would probably not recognize him.
In the past, Tianpeng was always weighing pros and cons, having lustful thoughts but not the courage. In the eyes of fairies like Chang'e, he was the synonym of greasy. Even if Tianpeng was powerful and in a high position, they still did not think highly of him. They might be able to get along with him, but if they really wanted something to happen, that was impossible.
But at this time, Tianpeng's temperament seemed to have undergone a huge change.
I'm afraid that even Tianpeng's trusted men would be frightened when they see Tianpeng at this time.
boom!
The Nine-toothed Rake hit the Four Heavenly Kings, and a Milky Way poured down from the sky and directly enveloped the Four Heavenly Kings. The next moment, the Four Heavenly Kings had no way to escape, and what greeted them was Tianpeng's angry attack.
The Four Heavenly Kings were also greatly shocked.
"Marshal, we are only following orders, please show mercy."
Show mercy!
Tian Peng sneered, "When you attacked Bao'er, you showed no mercy. Now you should go and be buried with Bao'er."
As he spoke, the Nine-toothed Rake had already hit the Four Heavenly Kings.
boom!
The Four Heavenly Kings only felt a shock all over their bodies, and then their souls were shattered, and they couldn't even block Tianpeng's attack.
A divine soul went towards the sky, returned to heaven, and was included in the List of Gods.
The Jade Emperor, who was sitting in the Tongming Palace, was shocked. The Four Heavenly Kings were actually dead! What was going on?
He immediately scanned the spirits of the Four Heavenly Kings, and only then did he understand everything.
Tianpeng! He could actually reach this level!
"Come here, summon Erlang Shen and have him rush to Nanzhanbuzhou to capture Tianpeng."
As soon as the decree was issued, Erlang Shen received the information quickly at Guanjiangkou.
Tianpeng!
Yang Jian hesitated for a while. He and Tian Peng actually had some friendship. In the previous battle, he did not kill Tian Peng. Now he didn't know what happened. The Jade Emperor actually asked him to capture Tian Peng.
"Boss Kang, gather the troops and follow me."
The Heavenly Palace was also in turmoil. Li Jing led the army to war again, led by the Giant Spirit God, the Three Altars and Sea God Nezha, as well as the Nine Stars, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, etc., a total of 100,000 troops, and under the order of the Jade Emperor, they headed towards Tianpeng.
At this time, Tianpeng did not stop after killing the Four Heavenly Kings.
Instead, he directly picked up the Nine-toothed Rake and headed towards the Heaven.
In Heaven, Yang Jian and the monkeys were making trouble, so why couldn't Tianpeng not make trouble? The Jade Emperor was unfair and banished him to the mortal world, but now he was still not giving in. Baoer died, and even if he died today, Tianpeng would seek justice for Baoer.
Jiale was watching Tianpeng heading towards the heaven from behind and he did not expect such an unexpected surprise.
Marshal Tianpeng is not an ordinary immortal god. Others do not know Tianpeng's background, but Jiale knows it. Tianpeng is the reincarnation of the ancient North Star God. In ancient times, the Demon King and the Demon Emperor were born. They were brilliant and opened the era of the demon clan and suppressed the stars in the sky. Even the Ziwei Star God could not be honored and was killed by the Demon King and the Demon Emperor.
The sky is filled with stars, and those who follow them will prosper, while those who go against them will perish.
At that time, Tianpeng died directly. After reincarnation, he practiced all the way and became Marshal Tianpeng. Moreover, after embarking on the path of practice, he became a disciple of Taishang Laojun and became Laojun's registered disciple. This secret is probably known to few people in the entire heaven, and Laojun never told others that Tianpeng was his disciple.
Tianpeng never publicly admitted that he was Laojun's disciple.
However, both the technique that Tianpeng practiced and the nine-toothed rake in Tianpeng's hand were created by Taishang Laojun. Such a foundation has already destined Tianpeng to be extraordinary.
It's just that fate has confused his mind and the worldly world has dazzled his eyes, making his state of mind clouded and unable to understand the great principles.
Now after this move, he suddenly realized that perhaps after today, the Three Realms will have another God of War.
Beidou is in charge of the battle, Ziwei is in charge of the defense, and they are invincible in the world.
boom!
The Qiankun Circle fell towards Tianpeng, clouds rolled, and Li Jing appeared with a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals. He looked at Tianpeng and shouted loudly.
"How dare you, Tianpeng! Surrender now!"
Tianpeng took the Circle of Heaven and Earth with ease, looked at Li Jing in the sky, looked at the heavenly soldiers and generals behind him, and looked at Nezha who was about to attack him. Tianpeng suddenly felt heroic and brave. What could it matter even if there were 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals?
"kill!"
The Nine-toothed Rake was swung and confronted with the Fire Spear, and it actually blew Nezha away.
Nezha turned over and stood up, clenched his fists, and there was anger in his eyes. This happened three times. The first time, Yang Jian came to attack the Heavenly Palace, he couldn't beat him. The second time, Monkey King came to attack the Heavenly Palace, he couldn't beat him either. Now Tianpeng came, he still couldn't beat him. All his life, Nezha was not inferior to anyone. Kill him.
The battle began. Even though Nezha's cultivation was inferior, he had no choice but to retreat at this time.
Tianpeng looked at Nezha in front of him and secretly said what a pity.
"How dare a lotus root dare to talk about fighting!!"
boom!
With a burst of powerful aura, he actually threw Nezha away again.
Li Jing's face changed when he saw this, "Go!"
The Nine Stars, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, etc. all attacked Tianpeng together, and a great war began again.
At this time, all the immortals and gods in heaven were also paying attention to Tianpeng.
They were also somewhat horrified. Was the person before them really Tianpeng? Why had the change been so great?
Tianhe.
"It's the Marshal!"
In the Milky Way, Marshal Tianpeng commands four kings, thirty-six generals, and 300,000 Tianhe navy.
At this time, the four kings including Tiangang Great Sage, the thirty-six generals including Jiutian Shatong General, were all overjoyed when they saw Tianpeng's invincible posture in fighting heaven and earth.
"The Marshal has encountered the enemy. All the soldiers, follow me to meet the Marshal."
Tian Gang and General Jiu Tian Sha Tong both shouted loudly, and Tianhe was in riot. Three hundred thousand Tianhe navy were dispatched in an instant.
They are not gods, but immortals. They are not restricted by the List of Gods and are loyal to Tianpeng.
The situation at this time was different from before. Before, Tianpeng did not resist at all in the face of the punishment from the Jade Emperor. If Tianpeng wanted to rebel before, they would definitely follow him through life and death. Unfortunately, Tianpeng stopped them. Now that Tianpeng is taking the initiative to rebel, they must follow him through life and death.
"Welcome Marshal, kill!"
The 300,000-strong Tianhe army, led by four kings and thirty-six generals, went straight down to the Heavenly Palace.
The Jade Emperor and other immortals and gods were suddenly shocked.
"Rebellion! Rebellion!"
The Jade Emperor had not anticipated Tianpeng's situation. According to the Buddhist plan, Tianpeng was supposed to be reborn as a pig by mistake. In that case, he would be confused by the calamity and his divine body would be transformed into a pig's. Tianpeng would completely lose his invincible fighting spirit and could only obey the Buddhist arrangement and embark on the journey to the West.
But no one knows who was behind the incident, allowing Tianpeng to escape the disaster, which led to the misfortune today.
Tianpeng is Laojun's disciple. How could the Jade Emperor not know this?
Everyone with a discerning eye thought that Tianpeng was loyal to the Jade Emperor, but the truth was that Tianpeng was just like the Water Deity. They were both members of the Taiqing lineage in the Heavenly Court. The entire Heavenly Court was now covered by the Three Pure Ones. Tianpeng was not an ordinary person. He had 300,000 Tianhe navy under his command and was in a high position of power. Naturally, the Jade Emperor wanted to replace him and take the Tianhe navy for his own use.
After all, Tianhe is the gateway to the Heavenly Palace. Tianpeng's teasing of Chang'e gave the Jade Emperor the opportunity to depose Tianpeng. And because he was chosen by the great calamity, the Jade Emperor handled it in such a way that even Laojun could not say anything. So this matter happened as a matter of course. As for Tianhe, the Jade Emperor also began to plan. If all went well, it would not take long to capture the Tianhe navy.
But at this critical moment, Tianpeng appeared again.
The Jade Emperor sent the Four Heavenly Kings to the mortal world, intending to nip Tianpeng, the future trouble, in the bud and let him reincarnate again. But who could have thought that Tianpeng would awaken his star nature at this time. Although he had lost his divine body, his immortal essence remained. He also understood the way of fighting and reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal in one fell swoop.
With such strength, today when the Golden Immortal of Great Luo suppresses one side and never attacks easily, he is already the top combat force in the Three Realms.
The situation in Heaven is really embarrassing. The Jade Emperor has almost no available Golden Immortal combat power.
That is why Yang Jian is often called upon.
The situation is even more embarrassing now.
"Tianpeng, stop being so arrogant."
The celestial warriors such as the Nine Stars and the Twenty-Eight Mansions were unable to gain any advantage against Tianpeng. Instead, they were defeated as time went by.
Surrounded by a hundred thousand
At this moment, Yang Jian finally arrived, shouted loudly, and went towards Tianpeng.
Yang Jian also stood at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal. In terms of strength, he was not inferior to Tianpeng. The situation of the Heavenly Court was better at this time. With the help of others, perhaps it would not take long to take down Tianpeng.
"Don't hurt my marshal, kill him!"
However, at this moment, the Tianhe River rolled backwards, and 300,000 Tianhe navy arrived. The Four Kings directly stopped Jiuyao Xingchen and others.
The thirty-six generals also stopped the others, and the battle began with soldiers fighting against soldiers and generals fighting against generals. The power of the war directly affected the entire three realms.
"Marshal, I'm waiting."
Tianpeng looked at the Tianhe navy in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart. However, no matter how many emotions he had, they all converged into a heroic spirit in the end.
"Okay, let's have a good fight today. Follow me and kill."
At this moment, Jiale had to admit that Tianpeng had indeed done it.
However, now that Tianpeng is in place, it is time for him to start his plans.
Heaven.
Jiale went straight to the Tushita Palace.
"Master Ancestor."
Taishang Laojun looked at Jiale in front of him with a strange expression.
"Jingchun, you are such a troublemaker."
Taishang Laojun was not joking, this was his true thought. Laojun believed in governing by inaction. Even though Tianpeng was Laojun's registered disciple, Laojun would not interfere when Tianpeng got into trouble. Since it involved a great catastrophe, Laojun would not let himself be affected in the slightest. This was Laojun. He could push other people to the front, but he himself would never be in the catastrophe.
Not only was Tianpeng's outburst unexpected to the Jade Emperor, even Laojun was not expecting it at all.
This is too awesome. Looking at Tianpeng’s invincible posture of fighting against heaven and earth, to the point that even Yang Jian couldn’t defeat him, Laojun was shocked.
As for Jiale's actions, Laojun was actually aware of it. However, since Laojun would not interfere with the Jade Emperor's actions, he would not interfere with Jiale either. However, the current situation was a bit troublesome, because Laojun could not imagine what benefit Tianpeng could gain from such a move.
"Master, you are joking. I am also surprised by Tianpeng's behavior. However, since it has happened, I have some ideas. Now I would like to ask Master for your approval."
Taishang Laojun looked at Jiale. Even for Taishang Laojun, it was difficult to guess what Jiale was thinking.
"What do you want to do now?"
Laojun originally just wanted to disrupt the Buddhist plan and win some benefits for the Xuanmen.
But Jiale's performance was so outstanding that it far exceeded his expectations.
"The disciple wants to help my Shangqing disciples escape from the constraints of the Conferred God List."
What!
Taishang Laojun was immediately shocked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
The Investiture of the Gods restrains the Shangqing lineage, which is not only what the Jade Emperor wants to see, but also the result that his Shangqing lineage, the Yuqing lineage, Buddhism and other forces all want to see. Now Jia Le actually speaks like this in front of him, which makes Laojun feel very embarrassed. Laojun does not believe that Jia Le is a fool who does not know the situation, but now he still says such nonsense, which means that he really has some ideas.
"Grandmaster, another catastrophe has come. In the last catastrophe, almost the entire Shangqing lineage was in a catastrophe, or there was a calamity, so that three thousand mortals returned to Buddhism, and nearly ten thousand were included in the list of gods. A major sect fell apart. However, a catastrophe has passed. Even if there are more catastrophes, the arrival of this catastrophe should have almost offset them.
Now that my Shangqing lineage has fallen into calamity, I will not be willing to continue to be controlled by the List of Gods.
Buddhism is very powerful, and now the main target of my Xuanmen should be Buddhism. Even if the Shangqing lineage is freed from the constraints of the List of Gods, its strength has been greatly reduced. It will not threaten the Taiqing lineage and the Yuqing lineage's status in Xuanmen.
It is imperative for my Shangqing lineage to get out of the Conferred God List. It will be easier for my Shangqing lineage if I have the cooperation of my master. If my master stops me, it will be a great loss for the Xuan Sect and a complete prosperity for the Buddhist Sect. When my master found me, he also promised to support me. I hope my master will allow me to do so."
Taishang Laojun has regained his calm expression.
"You threaten me?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiale felt that the pressure of the whole world seemed to be converging towards him, and he shook his head.
"Grandmaster, you know the character of my Shangqing lineage. It is not a threat, but a will to break rather than bend. Now that we have eliminated the calamity, we should return to our roots."
After a series of operations by Jiale, the luck and merits of the Shangqing lineage have been greatly improved, which has offset all the calamities that the Shangqing lineage had been tainted by in the previous calamity. This is the confidence that Jiale dared to plan to free the Golden Spirit Mother and others from the constraints of the List of Conferred Gods. However, the biggest obstacle in this matter has never been the Jade Emperor, but Taishang Laojun.
Therefore, Jiale took this opportunity to reveal his cards.
Okay, I'm going to lay my cards on the table and put the pressure on Laojun. After all, it's Laojun who's in charge of the overall situation of Xuanmen now, not anyone else. What Jiale said is also the truth. After the Shangqing lineage was weakened by the last great catastrophe, it can only be ranked below the Taiqing lineage and the Yuqing lineage. With such strength, what is there for Laojun to worry about? Why does he have to suppress the Shangqing lineage all the time?
Jiale is not like the Golden Spirit Mother and others. They seem to have become accustomed to this situation. After the blow of the last catastrophe, they have been depleted of a lot of their spirit. Jiale's subsequent plans are all based on the Shangqing lineage, and the biggest help is also the Shangqing lineage. Most of the power of the Shangqing lineage is controlled by the List of Gods.
Although the Jade Emperor has not used the List of Gods to take action against the Shangqing lineage for many years.
However, the existence of the List of Gods is like a sword hanging over the head of the Shangqing lineage. As long as it exists, the Shangqing lineage will always be inferior to others. It is impossible for them to develop. Just like a horse with a bridle, no matter how powerful it is, it still needs to be controlled by its rider!
The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed. The disciples of the Shangqing lineage still have some blood in their veins, especially the Golden Spirit Mother.
But Jiale didn't believe that Laojun really wanted to see that happen.
Eyes met.
"Jingchun, I would rather not have found you in the first place."
Jiale's development and improvement was so fast that even Taishang Laojun felt that he could no longer control Jiale.
Jiale also smiled.
"Master, our interests are the same, so why are you saying this?"
Laojun shook his head. He could see that Jiale's ambition was much greater than he had imagined. If Jiale was still a Taiyi Golden Immortal, Laojun would probably have thought of suppressing Jiale by now. The current strength of the Shangqing lineage was lower than that of the Taiqing lineage and the Yuqing lineage, but not by much.
The most important thing is that there is a new member, Jiale, in the Shangqing lineage. With Jiale's strength, it won't be long before other unexpected things happen in the Shangqing lineage. How can Taishang Laojun not be worried?
He must be the one to steer Xuanmen's ship, and it must run smoothly.
"What do you want to do?"
It is easy to say that they can escape from the Investiture of the Gods, but the Jade Emperor is not someone who can do it easily. The Taishang Laojun will at most not stop them, and the Jade Emperor will still let them face it themselves. If the Jade Emperor knew that the Shangqing lineage wanted to get rid of the constraints of the Investiture of the Gods, he might be so angry that he would wipe out all the Shangqing souls in the Investiture of the Gods. By then, the Shangqing lineage would have no place to cry.
"As long as the master doesn't stop me, I will make my own plans for the rest."
Laojun looked at the great fortune that Jiale carried. Jiale was undoubtedly special. Even Laojun was not sure that he could suppress Jiale all the time. Laojun was thinking, which one would be more cost-effective, to indulge Jiale or to take Jiale down.
"Grandmaster, you won't attack your disciple, will you? The Three Pure Ones are one, this is unacceptable."
Jiale was not worried. After all, he was not someone who was easy to control. Even if Laojun took action, Jiale had the confidence to leave. After all, although he was the only one facing Laojun at this time, standing behind him were the Golden Spirit Mother, the Wu Dang Mother and Yun Xiao.
Even though Laojun is very powerful, he is suppressed by heaven and earth and can only exert the strength of the peak Daluo Golden Immortal at best. He is definitely stronger than other peak Daluo Golden Immortals, but the three of Jin Ling Shengmu joining forces are enough to protect Jiale. After all, Jiale is not powerless.
"Well, I want to see what kind of trouble you, a naughty boy, can make."
Taishang Laojun smiled suddenly.
No matter what the Shangqing lineage does, in the end they will eventually return to strength. As long as he is there, the Shangqing lineage will be inferior to him.
Come to think of it, Laojun was really a little confused about what Jiale was planning.
"Boom! Kill!"
At this moment, another burst of shouting and killing sounded from the North Gate of Heaven.
It turned out that countless demons took advantage of the emptiness of Heaven and attacked Heaven.
The leader was the Demon King of Chaos, and others included the Bull Demon King, the Dragon Demon King, the Peng Demon King, and so on.
After seeing the monkey causing trouble in heaven, these demons all gathered towards the Flower-Fruit Mountain, but were caught by Jiuyou in one fell swoop. Now they have all turned into demons, and this is the time for them to show their strength.
The one guarding the North Gate of Heaven was the Great Emperor Zhenwu. When he saw this situation, he was stunned and hurried to suppress it. Originally, the Jade Emperor wanted to summon the Great Emperor Zhenwu to suppress Tianpeng, but now such a thing has happened. The Demon King of Chaos and others are not easy to deal with.
The Demon King of Chaos is a pseudo-Daluo, and after being demonized, the Bull Demon King directly possesses the strength of the early Daluo Golden Immortal. The others, such as the Jiao Demon King, were originally Taiyi Golden Immortals, and now after being demonized, they also have the strength of pseudo-Daluo. They may not be the opponents of the Zhenwu Emperor, but it is not easy for the Zhenwu Emperor to take them down if he really wants to.
And on Tianpeng's side.
Tianpeng seemed to be crazy, and even Yang Jian couldn't control him. Gradually, he was suppressed by Tianpeng.
This situation made all the immortals and gods shocked. What on earth had Tianpeng experienced? How could he be so powerful? Even Yang Jian was no match for him?
The 300,000 Tianhe navy is no simple task. The four kings and thirty-six generals are all reincarnations of ancient star gods. The leader of the four kings and the thirty-six generals, General Jiutian Shatong, all have the strength of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Even Li Jing was beaten back step by step.
The Jade Emperor's face was gloomy, "Send more troops."
