Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Since Pangu created the world, followed by the rule of the Three Sovereigns and the order established by the Five Emperors, only then did we have the glorious age we see today.

However, during the desolate ancient times, there were many great calamities, and countless powerful beings perished in these cataclysms, which paved the way for the rise of the Human Clan.

For instance, the initial catastrophe of the Dragon-Han Era, the war between the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, resulted in the near-total annihilation of both races.

The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas today is but a faint trace of the bloodline from the ancient times.

Then there was the ensuing war between the Witches and the Demons, in which the Witch Clan, rumored to be born from the last drop of Pangu's essence blood, possessed extraordinary strength and robust builds, as if they were naturally endowed with Vajra indestructible bodies.

All Twelve Ancestral Witches were top-notch powerhouses.

From today's perspective, each of the Twelve Ancestral Witches from the ancient times would be considered beings at the Quasi-Saint Realm, which is quite telling.

All Twelve Ancestral Witches were unique and possessed their own innate divine abilities.

Rushou, for example, was the Ancestral Witch of Gold, with a snake in his left ear and riding on twin dragons.

Regrettably, after the great Witch-Demon calamity, the Witch Clan nearly went extinct, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches either died or went missing, long losing the dominance that once covered half of the world.

Only the occasional remnants of their bloodlines, from those who died, remained in the world.

...

In a fight for survival, Demon King Ox engaged in battle while attempting to flee, moving as fast as lightning, the two fought for half a day and the injuries on Demon King Ox grew increasingly severe.

After half a day of conflict, Demon King Ox was clearly aware of the mysterious man's superior strength, particularly the terrifying Qi of Geng Metal which was his bane.

With an invincible physical body and unmatched Qi of Geng Metal, compounded by this half-human, half-dragon form...

Having fought for half a day, Demon King Ox had been pondering who could possess such strength and characteristics within the Three Realms and Six Paths.

"Are you Rushou?!" After pondering for half a day, suddenly, Demon King Ox had a realization and shouted at the mysterious man in great shock.

However, after speaking out, Demon King Ox shook his head and said, "Impossible! During the ancient Witch-Demon war, the Ancestral Witch of Gold, Rushou already perished. Could it be that you have acquired some of his bloodline?"

"You old ox are quite perceptive!" The half-human, half-dragon man, with the Qi of Geng Metal swirling around his body, nodded in admiration in response to Demon King Ox's words.

Naturally, this response affirmed Demon King Ox's guess.

"Indeed..." This admission from the mysterious man brought clarity to Demon King Ox's mind.

Having inherited a strand of an Ancestral Witch's bloodline, no wonder his physical body was so powerful, comparable to a Dharma Treasure.

It was rumored that even Erlang True Monarch's Eighty-Nine Mystical Arts, with seventy-two transformations and an unparalleled physical god, were devised by emulating the robust build of the Witch Clan.

Receiving a strand of an Ancestral Witch's bloodline, no wonder this man's strength surpassed even I, Old Sun!

"Now that you know my origin and identity, this Green Lotus Taoist Scripture is something I am determined to acquire. I advise you to hand it over willingly or there might no longer be a being known as Demon King Ox in the Three Realms and Six Paths one day!" The half-human, half-dragon man continued to throw punches at Demon King Ox while speaking disdainfully from a position of superiority.

Not many in the Three Realms and Six Paths could speak to Demon King Ox like this and be qualified to do so.

But Demon King Ox had to admit that this man, who had acquired the bloodline of an Ancestral Witch, indeed had the right to say such words...

Without any more words, upon realizing the origin and identity of this man, Demon King Ox's heart grew even heavier, devoid of any intention to fight back, focusing solely on how to escape with his life.

...

Elsewhere, in the Flame Cloud Cave at Withered Pine Stream, the Red Boy, having eaten his fill, lay ungracefully on a stone slab, caressing his rounded belly, feeling utterly content.

He had never tasted anything like the spicy hot pot before.

Especially for the Red Boy, naturally endowed with the Samadhi True Fire divine skill, the spiciness of the hot pot was even more to his liking.

How had he never known such flavors before? This is simply too perfect for him!

"Great King, Great King, at the entrance of the cave dwelling, the Local Deity has arrived, saying he has urgent matters to report to the Great King!" At that moment, suddenly, a Little Demon ran over, yelling at the Red Boy.

"Oh? Local Deity? What's he here for? Let him in!" The Red Boy thought for a moment, seemingly indifferent as he spoke.

"Huh?" Nearby, Jiang Liu heard this and showed a surprised expression on his face.

Even though the Local Deity was considered the lowest rank within the celestial hierarchy of the Heavenly Court, he still had a divine rank. Why would he come to see the Red Boy out of the blue?

No matter what, the Red Boy was still a Demon Creature, right?

Not only did Jiang Liu feel puzzled in his heart, but even Princess Iron-Fan and Sun Wukong beside him were all surprised as well.

Soon after, the Local Deity of Withered Pine Stream arrived and bowed respectfully to Jiang Liu and his companions.

"Alright, old man, there's no need for such trouble, what brings you to find this Great King?" Red Boy might have been just a child, but his demeanor was extremely arrogant, paying little regard to a mere Local Deity as he spoke directly.

"Holy Infant King, I have come today with important news I thought necessary to inform you of!" In response to the blunt words of Red Boy, the Local Deity showed no sign of anger as he replied.

"Speak!" Red Boy said nonchalantly, nodding his head.

"Just now, during a gathering with my colleagues, the Local Deity of Mount Jilei, thousands of miles away, suddenly spoke of your father, Demon King Ox's whereabouts. He seems to be pursued and in immediate danger!" The Local Deity did not beat around the bush and recounted what he knew to Red Boy.

"How dare you!"

However, upon hearing the words of the Local Deity, Red Boy stood up, slamming the table, his face filled with anger. He grabbed the Local Deity's beard and said, "What boldness, old man! Have you grown so brazen as to curse my father? My father is the Great Sage of Heaven Equal, the magnificent Demon King Ox, who in all the Three Realms and Six Paths could possibly pursue him!?"

"Child, stop!" Princess Iron-Fan's expression turned grave upon hearing this, but she did not immediately deny it like Red Boy.

After calling out to Red Boy, she turned her attention to the Local Deity and asked, "Do you know who is pursuing my husband?"

"This, we do not know, only that it was a mysterious half-human, half-dragon being. Oh, right, this mysterious person possesses an incredibly strong Qi of Geng Metal!" After shaking his head slightly, the Local Deity answered.

"Qi of Geng Metal!?" Hearing this, Princess Iron-Fan became somewhat anxious.

Other people may have been unaware, but how could Princess Iron-Fan not know her husband's weaknesses after so many years of marriage?

In fact, upon hearing that someone could pursue her husband, Princess Iron-Fan was half-doubtful.

But the mention of the Qi of Geng Metal made Princess Iron-Fan somewhat believe it, feeling an urgent worry in her heart.

"Uncle," she said, her voice tense but composed, "given your vast divine skills, could you perhaps see if Old Niu truly is in trouble?" Turning her head, she asked Sun Wukong.

Princess Iron-Fan had faith in the abilities of Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who had once made Havoc in Heaven.

"If Brother Niu is in trouble, how could I, Old Sun, stand idly by? Just wait for me, Old Sun, to take a look!" Sun Wukong naturally stood up without hesitation, and after asking the Local Deity for the direction in which Demon King Ox had fled, his eyes shone with golden light as he looked into the distance.

Watching Sun Wukong's expression, it seemed as if his gaze could transcend the bounds of time and space. Nearby, Princess Iron-Fan awaited, nervously.

Naturally, Zhu Bajie and Wujing exchanged puzzled glances, taken aback.

In comparison, they did not doubt the words of the Local Deity—after all, why would he come all the way here to lie? There was no benefit in it, right?

But Demon King Ox was a Great Demon of the Three Realms and Six Paths; who could be pursuing him? What exalted being could it be?

"This, this plot is completely different..." As for Jiang Liu, his heart was filled with even more astonishment.

Jiang Liu, having traveled here from the current era, naturally knew of the butterfly effect. He was prepared for his existence to alter the world of Journey to the West.

But for the mighty Demon King Ox to be pursued? This event seemed to be entirely absent from the original narrative.

"Found him!" While Jiang Liu's mind was still filled with silent shock, Sun Wukong suddenly spoke.

"How is it? Old Niu is okay, right?" Princess Iron-Fan immediately asked, upon hearing Sun Wukong speak.

"The situation of Brother Niu is fairly grim," Sun Wukong replied gravely. "The Local Deity spoke true; he is indeed being pursued, and from the looks of it, his injuries are severe, and he hasn't got long left!"

As Sun Wukong finished speaking, he did not waste words, instead turning to face Jiang Liu, hesitating slightly.

Knowing the capabilities of his master, to whom even Brother Niu was no match, especially with severe injuries, Sun Wukong thought their chances would be much stronger with his master's help.

However, as this was a personal matter, he hesitated for a moment, and Sun Wukong made no request for Jiang Liu to take action, instead saying, "Master, I and Brother Niu became sworn brothers back in Flower Fruit Mountain, and his trouble now is mine to share. I, Old Sun, cannot just stand by and watch. I..."

"Wukong, let your teacher accompany you on this journey!" Before Sun Wukong could finish, Jiang Liu interjected, cutting him off.

Jiang Liu could more or less guess what Sun Wukong's hesitation meant.

Joking aside, if Demon King Ox was being pursued, how could Jiang Liu miss such an opportunity?

Wasn't this the perfect time to gain experience points and collect treasures?

"Enough talk, there's no time to delay, let's go!" Seeing that Sun Wukong seemed to want to say more, Jiang Liu waved his hand dismissively.

"Thank you, master!" Sun Wukong nodded, grabbed Jiang Liu, and with the power of the Somersault Cloud, vanished in an instant.
