Volume 4: Journey to the West Chapter 39 Peak
What!
"This is too much!"
Kunpeng could never have imagined that Tathagata would say such a thing.
“Arrogant!”
After all, he is a veteran Daluo Jinxian. Even if he is not invincible in the Three Realms, he is rare in the Three Realms. When he was practicing, these people in front of him had not yet been born. Now, they say whatever they want and want to kill him. Even if there are five of them, so what? Do they really think he is that useless ancestor Pan Wang?
"Set up the formation!"
With a loud shout, a book appeared in the hands of Ancestor Kunpeng, and the entire Demon Master Palace began to move.
Ancestor Kunpeng controls the North Sea, and has considerable power under his command, including four Daluo Golden Immortals.
There are even more Taiyi Golden Immortals. The North Sea is bitterly cold, but the monsters that can cultivate in the North Sea are incomparable in strength to those in other places.
The book in the hands of the Second Kunpeng Patriarch is also not simple, it is the River Map and Luo Shu.
Yes, it was the Hetu Luoshu, the most precious treasure of the demon emperor Dijun. At the beginning, the demon emperor Dijun used this book as the basis to arrange the Zhoutian Xingdou formation.
As one of the four great formations in the Three Realms, the Great Zhoutian Star Array is one of the best.
As the third most important figure in the demon clan, Demon Master Kunpeng naturally knows the Great Zhoutian Star Fighting Array. After the death of the Demon King, he obtained the River Map and Luoshu. Over the years, ancestor Kunpeng has been recreating the Great Zhoutian Star Fighting Array in the North Sea. The River Map and Luoshu can replace Zhoutian. It can be said that the Demon King was able to arrange the Great Zhoutian Star Fighting Array thanks to the River Map and Luoshu.
There is no need to doubt Kunpeng's wisdom and ability. After all, he is the one who can create demon writing and become a demon master.
The five Tathagatas were also a little serious, but they were not afraid at all.
Isn’t it just that there are more people? How is Buddhism any worse?
"Set up the formation!"
The Great Zhoutian Star Fighting Array is just one of the ancient strange arrays, but the wisdom of later generations should not be underestimated. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Array of Buddhism is not inferior to the Ten Thousand Immortals Array of the Shangqing lineage. Now we have to test this ancient strange array.
boom!
The great formations collided, the stars in the sky gathered, and thousands of Buddhas fell at once.
A great war began.
Jin Chanzi and others who were fighting against the Beiming monsters in the Beiming land were also shocked. What was going on? They were just fighting a small fight here, but there was someone fighting a big fight in front.
However, seeing the commotion, they also breathed a sigh of relief. It was likely that someone helped them block Ancestor Kunpeng.
To be honest, the one who really puts pressure on them is Ancestor Kunpeng. Now that Ancestor Kunpeng has been captured, the pressure on them is reduced.
Heaven.
Jiale was looking at the situation in the North Sea through the Kunlun Mirror.
When Haotian died, neither the Haotian Sword nor the Haotian Mirror was left, they were all shattered directly. However, the fragments were okay, and the Kunlun Mirror did not reject them and swallowed them directly. After getting the fragments, the Kunlun Mirror also recovered more and now it has reached the level of a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Energy was flowing, Jiale was practicing, but he happened to feel the vibration of the North Sea Land, and immediately started a live broadcast.
If it were the previous Tathagata, he would really not be a match for Kunpeng. These veteran Daluo Jinxians are really extraordinary. They have practiced for a long time and it is impossible for them to have no advantages. However, the Tathagata after being demonized is not necessarily the case. Even if he is a little inferior to Kunpeng, the difference is not too much. Five peak Daluo Jinxians can easily beat one Kunpeng.
As for the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array.
The reason why the River Map and Luo Shu can form a formation on their own without borrowing the power of the stars in the sky is because the River Map and Luo Shu contain countless star powers stored by the Demon King. However, it has been so many years, and it should have been used up long ago. If the Demon King cannot defeat Tathagata and others in a short time, sooner or later he will have to borrow the power of the stars.
The River Map and the Luo Shu have such innate authority.
However, now that he is in control of the Zhou Tian, it depends on whether he agrees or not. Sure enough, as the battle progressed, the North Ming Land has been in chaos. The entire North Ming Land seemed to be broken apart. It is estimated that after this battle, the entire North Ming Land will disappear. After the last catastrophe, there may not be such a fierce fight.
Kunpeng's face became uglier and uglier as he fought. The power of the stars in the River Map and Luo Shu was almost exhausted, while the Buddhist Ten Thousand Buddhas Array was stable. If this continued, he could only use the River Map and Luo Shu to borrow the power of the stars in the sky. He just hoped that there would be no accidents.
Thinking of this, Kunpeng no longer hesitated and directly controlled the River Map and Luo Shu to begin borrowing the power of the stars in the sky.
Only after borrowing this money did I realize that I had oversimplified things.
You lend it, but the other party doesn't lend it.
"Is it Haotian or the Golden Spirit Mother!"
Now only these two have this ability. After all, he is not the Demon King. If the other party does not lend it, Kunpeng really has no way out.
At this time, Kunpeng did not know that Haotian was already dead and the entire heaven was controlled by Jiale.
He had to take the blame even after Haotian's death, perhaps this was something he had never expected.
Tathagata looked at Kunpeng's situation and smiled. This time he wanted to see what other methods Kunpeng had. The Great Zhoutian Star Fighting Array suddenly stopped, and Tathagata knew that the opportunity had come. He directly controlled the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array and killed him. Without the Great Zhoutian Star Fighting Array, how could Kunpeng be a match for the Buddhist sect with five top Daluo Golden Immortals.
After a great battle, Kunpeng inevitably followed in the footsteps of ancestor Pan Wang.
To be honest, if Patriarch Kunpeng had joined forces with other Daluo Jinxian who came to Xiniu Hezhou early on, there might have been a glimmer of hope. However, those who were able to participate in the catastrophe at this time were all arrogant and proud people. How could they be willing to join forces with others ? This defeat was actually already doomed.
The entire North Sea land began to slowly disappear with the death of Kunpeng. Without Kunpeng's spatial force to maintain it, the North Sea land no longer had the ability to descend to Xiniu Hezhou.
A great war ended just like that.
Jin Chanzi and the others were a little confused. How could they lose? At this moment, Jin Chanzi and the others seemed to have understood something.
For this project, the people behind them have already paved the way for them, and they may just be going through the process.
The group continued on their journey. At this moment, the disasters that were originally arranged by Buddhism turned out to be the easiest to overcome.
Jiale looked at the countless energy beads added to the Kunlun Mirror again and laughed. He continued to practice without delay.
After becoming the Lord of Heaven, Jiale's luck became even stronger. With more luck, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation. This was one of the main reasons why Jiale was trying so hard to take over Heaven. With energy flowing throughout his body, he was under a lot of pressure. If he could not improve his strength to a level that could compete with Laojun after Taishang Laojun came back, he was afraid that he would not have a good ending.
Therefore, seizing the time and improving his strength at all costs is the most important thing for him now.
However, with sufficient energy beads, the Kunlun Mirror has recovered to a higher level. Improving cultivation and comprehending the great Dao are no longer difficult tasks.
As time passed, Jiale's knowledge of Yin and Yang had already reached 90% and he was only one step away from breaking through to the peak of Daluo Jinxian.
The power of the stars in the sky is all concentrated on Jiale, and the luck of the Heavenly Court is even more concentrated. In addition, the power that Jiale controls now, the luck is all flowing towards Jiale. Everyone thinks that he only controls the Heavenly Court, but what is the truth?
Jiale also has Maoshan under his command.
Maoshan is now very powerful. In Dongsheng Shenzhou, Maoshan is now headed by Xiyao, and has begun to expand its influence in Dongsheng Shenzhou. As Jiale's reputation becomes more and more famous, the pace of advancement is also getting faster and faster. Then there is Zhanbuzhou. Maoshan is now the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has conquered most of Zhanbuzhou through its expeditions to the east and the west.
The Tang Dynasty's western expedition troops have already stepped into Xiniu Hezhou, following Jin Chanzi and others all the way. Countless territories of Xiniu Hezhou have been taken over by the Tang Dynasty. The stronger the Tang Dynasty's power, the stronger the fortune of Maoshan. This fortune is already very considerable.
Then there is Uttarakuru. In today's Uttarakuru, Xisong occupies one third of the territory, and the Demon King Hunshi occupies the rest. The entire Uttarakuru is under Jiale's control, which is also a huge fortune. Then there is Buddhism, which is now Buddhism in the guise of a demon. It also belongs to Jiuyou, including the demon world, and some of it belongs to Jiale, which is an even greater fortune.
Then there is the share of luck that the Shangqing lineage gave him, which is also considerable.
All together, there is probably no one in the entire Three Realms who has more luck than Jia Le. With so much luck gathered together, Master Xuan Du said that they cannot break through even if they control one religion, but Jia Le controls more than just one religion, he controls three, four, and five religions.
This is the reason why Jiale has the confidence to challenge Taishang Laojun.
I don’t know how long it took, but Jiale’s aura fluctuated again, as if he was about to hit a certain barrier.
And that is indeed the case.
After several impacts, the energy suddenly burst out, and Jiale's aura finally stabilized. However, compared with before, it was a world of difference. Jiale did not expect that the gap between the peak of Daluo Jinxian and the late stage of Daluo Jinxian was so big.
After achieving a certain level of enlightenment, there was a qualitative change. Before, when Jiale was hitting those peak Daluo Jinxian hammers, he didn't feel much. But now that he had made a breakthrough, he realized the difference.
Sure enough, it wasn’t that those peak Daluo Jinxian were too useless, but that he was too strong.
Today, Jiale is truly standing at the top of the world. Even if there is still a gap between him and Taishang Laojun, it should not be too big.
Another wave of energy gathered and began to push his own cultivation to the limit.
Xiniu Hezhou, Jin Chanzi and others passed five levels and killed six generals along the way, and even relied on their own strength to kill three great Daluo Jinxian in the middle stage. It must be said that with the hardships along the way, the strength of the five people is really growing all the time, and every time they experience hardship, they have a huge improvement.
By the time they arrived at the sea of blood, Jin Chanzi, Monkey and Tian Peng had already broken through to the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian.
Wuzhuima has also broken through to the level of Daluo Jinxian.
In fact, in terms of aptitude and foundation, Wuzhuima is not necessarily inferior to Jinchanzi. To this day, Wuzhuima has also experienced the accumulation of several worlds and has a solid foundation. What's more, he is Jiale's spirit beast and can share part of Jiale's luck. With such a strong accumulation of Jiale, Wuzhuima will naturally rise with it.
But the curtain was rolled up, and he still stayed at Taiyi Jinxian.
However, after this trip, as long as Juanlian is still alive, breaking through to the Golden Immortal level should not be a problem.
Sea of blood.
This was also a forbidden area in ancient times, because there lived a top-notch powerful person in it, who was known as the ancestor of the Styx, whose blood sea never dried up and the Styx was immortal.
The sea of blood was formed by the filthy blood of Pangu after he created the world. It was also the place where the turbid air of the Three Realms gathered. Therefore, many powerful people in the Three Realms kept their distance from the Old Ancestor of the Styx, because this person was the biggest demon in the Three Realms when the demons no longer existed in the Three Realms. Because of the existence of the Three Pure Ones and Two Buddhas, the Old Ancestor of the Styx knew that he had no advantage in front of these forces.
Therefore, they rarely come out into the world, and basically stay in the River Styx, guarding the Shura clan.
The resources for cultivation of the Old Ancestor of the Styx are sufficient. He not only created the Shura Clan and established the Shura Religion, but also established the Shura Road when the cycle of reincarnation was established. The cycle of reincarnation will not fall, and the luck will not be lost. The Old Ancestor of the Styx is no worse than the Great Master Xuandu who controls the luck of a religion. To this day, the only regret may be that he cannot transcend.
Unfortunately, everyone wants to transcend, but who can truly transcend?
The word "transcendence" has almost become a curse for these top powerful beings.
If there really is just the slightest possibility, I'm afraid these top powers would risk their lives and move forward one after another, just like this catastrophe.
Originally, they were all indifferent and prepared to be spectators, but this time, under the control of Jia Le, the catastrophe directly stirred up a storm. It was a gathering of catastrophes, which increased by more than a thousand times, and suddenly made them see the possibility of transcendence. The small Xiniu Hezhou was suddenly influx of many Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, and even Daluo Golden Immortals.
Even the ancestors Panwang, Kunpeng and Minghe were not immune to suspicion.
There are actually not many Golden Immortals outside the three religions and Buddhism. The only ones still alive today are the Old Ancestor of the Styx, Zhen Yuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West.
Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West were still somewhat rational and did not participate in the catastrophe, especially Zhen Yuanzi, who simply picked up his bucket and ran away.
However, this old ancestor of the Styx actually took the initiative to break in.
However, Jiale was very excited about the choice of the Styx Patriarch. The Shura clan was not a good group of people. This was the place where huge energy beads gathered, and it was a good opportunity to take it down.
It is said that the Milky Way is dangerous and not even a feather can float on it.
It is said that it is difficult to cross the Yellow Springs, but the boat to rebirth is practicable.
However, the danger of this sea of blood is only higher than the first two, not lower.
In the sea of blood, there are not only the bloodthirsty Shura clan, but also many ferocious blood beasts. Because turbid air gathers in the sea of blood, the monsters derived from the sea of blood will be infected by the turbid air and transformed into ferocious beasts. These ferocious beasts roam in the sea of blood and are all pets and food of the Shura clan.
But it is also the strongest barrier of the sea of blood under normal circumstances.
Any living creature that enters it will be devoured by it.
If one does not have enough strength, once one enters there, one will be infected by the foul air and become a ferocious beast. As for the question of whether one will float or not, there is no need to even think about it. After entering there, if one does not have enough strength, one will only sink, not go up.
Moreover, the eyes can hardly see anything.
The monkey knew a lot about the Blood Sea. Jiale had popularized the knowledge of the Three Realms to his fellow disciples. The ancestor of the Styx was even marked with a five-star danger signal, and the Blood Sea was a famous forbidden area in the Three Realms.
Jin Chanzi and others have been practicing for a long time, and they know a lot of information about the sea of blood even though they have not entered it in person.
Now standing in front of the sea of blood, to be honest, the group was a little nervous.
However, the group looked around and thought that the Buddhists should be nearby. The ancestors Pan Wang and Kunpeng had been dealt with, so the Minghe ancestor would not be an exception.
"Did you?"
Tianpeng looked at Jin Chanzi and the monkey. To be honest, although the Blood Sea had a bad reputation, Tianpeng was not convinced.
Tianpeng is confident that he is better than water nature, and is not weaker than anyone in the Three Realms. He is the king of the Milky Way, and he can cross the Yellow Spring without any worries. Now he is standing in the sea of blood, and he can measure everything with just a kick of his feet.
"Pass!"
Jin Chanzi gritted his teeth and cried out, but what could he do? This sea of blood was even more deadly than the North Sea. The North Sea could not be bypassed, and there was no way around the sea of blood. But what else could he do? To be honest, they had tasted the sweetness at this time. In just a few years, they broke through to the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian.
They can even imagine how much they will benefit from this trip. Who knows, if they continue all the way and reach Buddhism, they can break through to the late stage of Daluo Jinxian or even the peak.
What a great temptation this is! It would take them a lot of time to break through on their own and reach that level. Faced with such a temptation, let alone the support of Buddhism, even if there was no support, they would still pass it and take a gamble.
Tian Peng didn't say much after hearing this. He threw the Nine-toothed Rake and a boat appeared. "Get on board and set sail!"
The boat is not the most important thing. The most important thing is Tianpeng's ability to control water. Once entering the sea of blood, it is Tianpeng's confrontation with the sea of blood. In this regard, even Jin Chanzi and the monkey dare not compete with Tianpeng. Everyone has his or her expertise, and this time, Lao Zhu is in the right place.
Jin Chanzi and his party boarded the boat directly, and Lao Zhu began to display his ability to control water.
Although the sea of blood is strong and the situation is complicated enough, the ultimate word is water. Since it is water, Lao Zhu dares to control it.
After stepping onto the sea of blood, the weather began to change and the waves began to roll. However, the big ship under the feet of Old Zhu Yushi was moving forward steadily in the turbulent waves.
Jin Chanzi and the other three couldn't help but nod their heads. If Tianpeng was really laid off one day, he would not starve to death by becoming a ferryman.
They walked for an unknown amount of time, but in the ever-changing weather, they suddenly felt an infinite sense of oppression. Looking closely, they saw countless shadows coming towards them.
roar!
A series of roars were heard, and the group was suddenly shocked. This was the legendary blood sea beast!
Fearless and fearless! Strong vitality! Cruel and bloodthirsty! Will not stop until death! And so on and so forth, these are all synonyms for the blood sea beast, and now they have really encountered it.
"Tian Peng, you control the boat, and leave these beasts to us."
As soon as Jin Chanzi gave the order, he took action. Monkey, Wuzhuima and Juanlian also acted without hesitation.
Each of these ferocious beasts is huge in size and full of fierceness, but their strength is only at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal at most.
Although there were many of them, Jin Chanzi and others were able to deal with them and prevent them from getting close to the ship.
The already blood-red sea seemed to become even darker red due to the blood donated by the ferocious beasts. As the blood flowed, it seemed to attract more and more ferocious beasts. The roars became louder and louder. Soon, there were countless ferocious beasts facing the group, and they were almost overwhelmed by them.
At first glance, there was no sea of blood, only ferocious beasts.
The group of people felt a little bitter. Along the way, they were either killing or on the way to killing. Now they had no choice but to kill.
And in the sea of blood.
Behind the ancestor of the Styx, there were countless Shuras standing, their eyes also looking at the ship on the sea of blood.
"Ancestor, let's go kill them now."
Under the seat of the ancestor of the Styx, there are four great demon kings, namely , Vastu, Brahma, Desire and Shiva, as well as four great demon generals, namely, Indra, Vishnu, Rutoro, and Ghost Mother, as well as the heavenly queen Uma and the seventy-two Asura princesses.
These four demon kings are all at the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian, the four demon generals are also at the early stage of Daluo Jinxian, and the Heavenly Concubine Umo is at the late stage of Daluo Jinxian.
Including the Ancestor of the Styx, the Shura clan has a total of ten Daluo Golden Immortals.
This is the confidence and strength of the Sea of Blood. With such strength, the Patriarch of the Styx is almost not afraid of anyone in the world. Even if he knows that Buddhism has killed the Patriarch Panwang and the Patriarch Kunpeng one after another, the Patriarch of the Styx is not afraid. This Sea of Blood is his territory and his home court. If Buddhism wants to kill him like they killed the Patriarch Kunpeng, it is wishful thinking.
"No hurry, let the beast take action first. I want to see if the Buddhist sect can sit still."
After experiencing what happened to Patriarch Kunpeng, Patriarch Minghe was very certain that Buddhism would definitely take action. He also knew that Buddhism was already preparing to kill all of them who participated in the catastrophe in Xiniu Hezhou. Although he didn't know the reason, it didn't matter anymore. As long as he could distinguish between the enemy and me, it would be fine.
The sea of blood is vast and there are so many ferocious beasts.
Even if Jin Chanzi and his group were Daluo Jinxian, it would be almost impossible for them to rely on a few of them to break out of the encirclement of ferocious beasts. The ferocious beasts have no consciousness and only know how to kill. Other conscious creatures might take the initiative to retreat after becoming afraid, but these ferocious beasts would not do that.
Gradually, Jin Chanzi and others became numb.
Sometimes, killing can get tiresome.
Especially when killing in a sea of blood, because when they are killing, they also have to resist the invasion of turbid air, so that their original spiritual heart is not lost and they are not taken over by the turbid air and transformed into ferocious beasts.
The more killing there is, the heavier the turbid air is, and the easier it is for them to be infected by the turbid air.
This made them feel restrained when dealing with ferocious beasts. Monkey and Tianpeng did not dare to enter a deep combat state, because in that state, they could hardly control themselves.
Heaven.
Jia Le had already finished his work and was standing, looking at the group's situation. He knew that this was the biggest disaster for them.
