Chapter 203, Battle 1: Shattering the White Jade Golden Whip, Tongbi Angrily Takes the North Sea Sky
Even though the worlds are different, Sun Wukong's fighting prowess is at the top level no matter which world he is in.
In the world of A Chinese Odyssey, Ye Ming was already familiar with Sun Wukong's supernatural powers and magic, and had fully comprehended the laws of power and transformation that Sun Wukong was most proficient in.
Therefore, although he had only been in this world for a day, he was already very proficient in using Sun Wukong's skills.
It's as if this body is his own!
With immense power, he wielded his golden cudgel and slammed it towards the long-armed ape opposite him.
In the world of Journey to the West, there are four very special monkeys.
Each monkey possesses its own unique supernatural power.
The gibbon with long arms can grasp the sun and moon, shrink mountains, discern good and bad fortune, and manipulate the universe.
Although this statement may seem exaggerated for the current Long-Armed Ape, it does demonstrate that his combat power is extraordinary!
The surge of spiritual energy that Ye Ming unleashed when he swung his golden cudgel startled the Long-Armed Ape.
With a whoosh, he wielded the white jade whip, pouring all his power into it, and it clashed fiercely with the golden cudgel!
boom!!!
A terrifying roar surged through the air, and the clouds stretching for miles around were instantly torn apart.
At the center of the battle, Ye Ming and the Long-Armed Ape were both blasted away by the aftershocks of the explosion.
Ye Ming stared indifferently at the long-armed ape in the distance, who was gazing at the white jade and golden whip in its hand, and said calmly, "You have a good grasp of the laws of force, but unfortunately, it's not enough."
"In your current state, you are no match for me."
According to his speculation, only by fighting the Long-Armed Ape in its strongest state could he most likely complete the task of dealing with Sun Wukong's inner demons in this world.
To support this theory, Ye Ming had no choice but to accelerate the plot and make the Long-Armed Ape strive to become stronger!
The motivation to make someone stronger is to first beat them up badly and ignite their fighting spirit.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The gibbon gripped the white jade whip in its hand, a hint of resentment rising in its heart.
He felt that although his fighting strength was roughly the same as Sun Wukong's, he was far at a disadvantage in this clash.
The reason is that the white jade whip in his hand is not a magic weapon of the same level as the Ruyi Jingu Bang!
Even so, the gibbon did not admit defeat.
He moved swiftly and charged towards Ye Ming in the distance!
"The true form of the giant monkey!!"
The gibbon roared, and its body suddenly swelled, transforming into a giant monkey with incredibly long arms, thousands of feet long.
He swung his arm, traversing space directly, and pinched Ye Ming hard!
Ye Ming cracked his neck. "Since you want to play, then let me show you just how big the gap is between us!"
He put away his Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), and his body quietly grew larger. At the same time, he unleashed his true form as a giant monkey, transforming into a thousand-foot-tall giant monkey comparable to the Long-Armed Ape.
The two giant monkeys fought wildly in the sky, their every move causing mountains and rivers to shatter and space to collapse.
In the dilapidated temple below, Pigsy and his companions looked up at the scene in the sky, their faces filled with horror.
"Master, look, look! I told you that besides that little monkey, Senior Brother's giant monkey form was also terrifying!"
Pigsy was always thinking about undermining his senior brother. At this moment, he used his magic to draw a protective barrier to prevent the aftershocks from hurting Tang Sanzang. He pointed to the two giant monkeys, each a thousand feet tall, above him and spoke excitedly.
Sha Wujing, who was standing to the side, also spoke up in a daze: "Little Six-Eared Monkey has already been taken away by Guanyin Bodhisattva to cultivate, and now this Long-Armed Ape actually knows the true form of a giant monkey."
"Senior Brother, you absolutely have to win!"
He and Pigsy exchanged a glance, then simultaneously pulled out two small flags bearing the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, waving them and shouting, "Go, Eldest Brother! Eldest Brother is the best!"
Upon seeing this, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor raised his long yellow eyebrows instantly. "Ignorant fool! The Four Great Spirit Monkeys all possess the true form of a giant monkey. Under the same conditions, my junior brother is absolutely invincible!"
He took out a huge banner with the inscription "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" and waved it wildly, shouting:
"Go, junior! You'll win!"
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang could only shake his head helplessly.
The group of people stared at the battle above, and a sense of tension rose in their hearts.
Meanwhile, from the sky above, terrifying roars echoed endlessly.
The roars of the two giant monkeys shook the heavens and echoed throughout the underworld.
In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor felt the Heavenly Palace shaking and hurriedly ordered the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear to investigate the situation.
When the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear used their supernatural powers to see the fight between two giant monkeys in the mortal realm, they were somewhat alarmed and told the Jade Emperor what had happened.
"These monkeys are really good at causing trouble!"
The Jade Emperor reached out and stroked his beard, waving his hand and saying, "Don't worry about it. This is just a tribulation for Tang Sanzang and his disciples. Let them deal with it on their own."
"Wang Lingguan, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, set up a protective barrier to prevent these two monkeys from destroying the human realm."
Wang Lingguan and Nezha came out and clasped their hands in greeting.
In the underworld, the Ten Kings of Hell gathered together, watching the battle between two monkeys in the human world through the Mystic Mirror.
After observing for a while, King Qin Guang shook his head and said, "This half-immortal, half-Buddha gibbon is still no match for Sun Wukong in terms of cultivation!"
Even if it reveals its true form as a giant monkey, it is still no match for it.
"Indeed, Sun Wukong's understanding of the Law of Power has reached an unparalleled level. As early as five hundred years ago, he already possessed earth-shattering and awe-inspiring magical power." King Chujiang looked at the assembled Yama Kings and said, "Five hundred years have passed, and his cultivation has increased considerably."
"If this gibbon hadn't had a fortuitous encounter, it wouldn't have been a match for Wukong."
"Hey!" At this moment, Yama's eyes lit up, and he whispered to the others, "Five hundred years ago, that monkey helped us settle our accounts. This time, the appearance of this gibbon is probably also related to the calamity."
"Could we...?"
The other Yama Kings' eyes lit up when they heard the Yama King's voice transmission.
King Yama set up a soundproof barrier and then quietly transmitted his voice, saying, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is still down there. We need to be careful in what we do."
"Hey, the vow of not becoming a Buddha until hell is emptied has already driven Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to the brink of abandoning Buddhism. He'd love for us to do just that," the Five Senses King said disdainfully.
"Be careful what you say!" King Taishan muttered sullenly. "We should keep this to ourselves and not say it out loud."
"In my opinion, after this matter is over, let's find an opportunity to lure the Long-Armed Ape to the underworld!"
"Brother Yama, you have experience with this matter, so I'll have to trouble you again."
"Hey...you guys..." King Yama looked at the others, "Alright, alright."
The group of big shots devised various countermeasures the moment Ye Ming engaged in battle with the Long-Armed Ape.
But Ye Ming had no time to worry about any of that. He was currently immersed in the thrill of the battle.
Since his cultivation level improved, he has not been able to find a suitable opponent to test his strength.
The Long-Armed Ape wasn't quite up to par, but after the opponent unleashed its true form as a giant monkey, it became incredibly resilient.
Relying solely on his physical strength, without using laws or other means, he could only manage to beat his opponent.
However, he was already very satisfied to have found such a suitable sandbag.
Another punch was thrown, and the Long-Armed Ape let out a muffled groan as blood gushed out like a celestial river pouring out.
Unable to maintain his giant monkey form any longer, he reverted to his original appearance, moved swiftly, appeared before Huang Mei, grabbed Huang Mei, and fled in an instant.
Ye Ming put away his giant monkey form and landed in front of Zhu Bajie and the others.
At this moment, seeing the Long-Armed Ape fleeing in a sorry state, Pigsy immediately jumped out, "Brother, that monkey is done for, shall I go and bring them back?"
"You?" Ye Ming glanced at him indifferently. "Not to mention that the Long-Armed Ape might still have a fighting chance, could you even defeat the Yellow Plum Ancestor?"
"They are all disciples of Maitreya Buddha, and they must have made ample preparations for this descent to the mortal realm."
"You've been up in heaven for so long, you must have heard of the Human Seed Bag and the Golden Rag, right?"
Upon hearing this, Pigsy chuckled awkwardly, silently retreated, and shielded Tang Sanzang in front of him.
"Senior Brother, what do we do now?" Sha Wujing asked blankly. "The Long-Armed Ape lost this time. Once he recovers, he'll definitely come back to cause trouble for you again!"
"Ha, that's exactly what I wanted!"
Ye Ming's face revealed an arrogant and confident expression. "He's too weak now; he's not worthy to be my opponent!"
"We're all the same kind of people, I'm willing to give him this opportunity!"
"Wukong, they are all disciples of Maitreya Buddha. You mustn't hurt them." Tang Sanzang looked in the direction where the Long-Armed Ape had fled and murmured, "Long-Armed Benefactor was only blinded by jealousy. He is not inherently bad."
Ye Ming nodded. He only wanted to complete the mission and didn't want to kill anyone.
After all, he wasn't such a bloodthirsty person.
Murder is always a means, not an end.
"Sun Wukong, you only managed a narrow victory today by relying on the power of your divine weapon!"
At that moment, the voice of the long-armed ape, who had fled thousands of miles away, echoed across the sky: "The next time we meet, I will make you pay the price!"
"Long-Armed Ape, I'm waiting for you!" Ye Ming said calmly. "You'd better hurry!"
He needed to hurry, as he confirmed that the mission was to fight the Long-Armed Ape in its strongest form.
Otherwise, he wouldn't waste any more time with the gibbon.
Tang Sanzang glanced at his disciples, uttered a Buddhist chant, and said, "We're not far from Mount Ling; let's set off!"
On the other side, in the Wanshan Forest, the Long-Armed Ape carried the Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor down.
The gibbon clutched its chest, its face deathly pale.
Upon seeing this, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor hurriedly took out several pills from his waist and stuffed them into the mouth of the Long-Armed Ape.
After swallowing the pill, the Long-Armed Ape regulated its breathing for a while and barely managed to suppress the churning of its internal organs.
He took out his white jade whip, and looking at the long crack on it, a fierce look appeared on his face.
"Sun Wukong, I will definitely avenge this loss!"
The Long-Armed Ape murmured something, then looked up at the Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor and pleaded, "Senior Brother, please help me!"
"Junior brother, you still want to fight him?" The Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor's face showed a hint of pity. "This Sun Wukong is indeed incredibly powerful. Even without Master's magic weapons, you, junior brother, are no match for him!"
"How about... we just call it quits?"
"No!" the Long-Armed Ape suddenly exclaimed, "Sun Wukong's victory this time is indeed due to his considerable strength."
"However, it's also because my weapon is inferior to his."
"My magic is inferior to his... but I can't swallow this insult!"
Seeing the Long-Armed Ape's appearance, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor's face hardened. "Junior Brother, how can I help you?"
"In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, there is a Golden Pill of Ten Thousand Demons. If you swallow this Golden Pill, your magical power will increase rapidly, and you will also gain the supernatural power to devour all things in heaven and earth."
The Long-Armed Ape looked at the Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor and pleaded, "Senior Brother, please go and ask me for a Ten Thousand Demon Golden Pill! I'll go to the Bohai Sea to find a weapon."
"The next time I see Sun Wukong, I'm determined to defeat him!"
"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons??" A hint of hesitation flashed across the Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor's face. "Junior Brother, that's a kingdom of demons... We are disciples of Buddhism, half-immortals and half-Buddhas. If we go to such a place..."
"Senior brother, I'm begging you!" The Long-Armed Ape looked at the Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Now, I can only rely on you!"
"Alright!" Old Ancestor Yellow Eyebrows nodded. "Then I, your senior brother, will go in your place! I will definitely retrieve the Golden Core of Ten Thousand Demons for you!"
"Thank you, senior brother!"
The long-armed ape looked at the Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor with a look of surprise in its eyes.
After Huangmei Patriarch rode the cloud towards the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, he immediately found a cave and used pills to heal his injuries.
In his battle with Sun Wukong, although both of them unleashed their powerful giant monkey forms, neither of them used the power of laws during the fight. Instead, they relied on the strength of their own bodies to clash.
That's why, although he was seriously injured at the time, it was all physical injuries.
In just half a month, the gibbon recovered from its injuries and was fully recovered.
He rushed out of the cave, staring westward, and muttered, "Sun Wukong, next time, I will definitely trample you under my feet!"
After saying that, he flew straight towards the Bohai Sea!
The Ruyi Jingu Bang in Sun Wukong's hand is the iron rod that Yu the Great left in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea when he was controlling the floods. It is a rare treasure.
His white jade and golden whip is not yet up to that level.
To fight Sun Wukong, you need a suitable weapon.
Of the four famous sticks in the world, three already belong to someone.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) was in Sun Wukong's hands, while the Sui Xin Tie Gang Bing (Iron Pole Soldier) and the Jia Hai Zi Jin Liang (Purple Gold Beam Over the Sea) were obtained by the Six-Eared Macaque and the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey, respectively.
The only remaining towering white jade pillar is still inside the Bohai Dragon Palace on the shore of the Bohai Sea!
His goal this time is to force his way into the Dragon Palace and seize this towering white jade pillar!
Inside the Bohai Dragon Palace, the Long-Armed Ape, wielding a cracked white jade whip, charged straight into the palace, fighting his way to the towering pillar.
Those who dared to obstruct him were instantly defeated and reduced to their original forms!
When the Dragon King of the Bohai Sea arrived, upon hearing that the Long-Armed Ape had come to seize the Bohai Sky-Supporting Pillar, he immediately pleaded, "Immortal, this Sky-Supporting Pillar is a pillar used to guard Mount Beizhou, supporting the heavens and the sea. You must not take it away!"
"You won't let me take it?" The long-armed ape somersaulted, grabbed a crab general, and took a couple of bites, coldly saying, "I'm taking it anyway!"
"Back then, Sun Wukong could use the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) to make his golden cudgel; today, I, the Long-Armed Ape, can use Optimus Prime (the pillar that holds the heavens) as my weapon!" (End of Chapter)
