Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 783 - 703: Vow to Break Through Ling Xiao, Rebuild the Demon Court! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

Yellow Wind billows, obscuring heaven in darkness; Purple mist rises, shrouding earth in haze.

All because the demon monkey deceived the Supreme Deity, it compels All Saints to descend to mortal realms.

...

The Nine Great Saints and twelve hundred Demon Kings sensed the commotion outside, and one by one emerged from their cave dwellings.

Looking up, they saw countless Heavenly Soldiers encamped before and behind, sealing Huaguo Mountain tight as a drum. With eighteen layers of heavenly nets above and below, not even a fly could escape.

Looking at the battlefield ahead.

One after another, fierce gods and evil generals were arrayed; those well-informed Demon Kings recognized them instantly—

King Li!

Prince Nezha!

The Four Heavenly Kings!

The twenty-eight constellations, Nine Luminaries Palace, Twelve Yuan Chen, Five Directions Jiedi, Four Value Functionaries, the battle between the stars of East and West, the twin Gods of South and North, the Stars and Deities of the Five Peaks and Four Rivers, the Star Officials of All Heaven!

The clouds stop and the fog descends to the mortal world; in front of Huaguo Mountain, the Heavenly Court's immortals have encamped, perhaps the majority have come this time.

Seeing this formation.

The previously aroused morale, faced with these gods from Heavenly Court, nearly dissipated. The Demon Kings looked at each other, some even stealthily retreated.

The Six Great Saints also frowned deeply, unclear whether this was a plot or mere coincidence; either way, they were now trapped in Huaguo Mountain by the Heavenly Soldiers.

Contemplating a way to break free.

Outside the mountain.

Nine Luminaries Evil Stars marched to the cave entrance, shouting loudly, "You heedless Horses' Fortune! You've committed all ten heinous crimes: first stealing peaches, then imperial wine, causing chaos at the Peach Banquet, and then pilfering Old Lord's immortal pills, and stealing the imperial wine for your pleasure here. Piled crime upon crime, do you not realize?"

Born of celestial origins, Monkey King with varied transformations, joyously roams his mountain lair, stealing pills and wine.

Simply because he caused disruption at the Peach Banquet, a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers lay nets in a sprawling siege.

These words spoken.

The Demon Kings were all shocked.

Who would have thought, the Monkey King had caused such commotion in the Heavenly Palace. Knowing full well that Heavenly Court would seek accountability, he deliberately deceived these Demon Kings to shield him from disaster!

In an instant, fear.

In an instant, anger.

Great Sage Equalling Heaven, seeing the disturbance in the mountain, remained calm and laughed loudly, "Do you really think this Great Sage covets a position in your Heavenly Court? It was but a ploy to gather intelligence for my brothers, Bull Demon King, Jiao Demon King, and the other four, to know the truth and overturn your Heavenly Court! Those exquisite feasts and divine brews for the deities have long been shared by this Great Sage, my brothers, and all the Demon Kings. If you wish to take them back, come and get them!"

Wukong laughed arrogantly.

The Six Great Saints.

And the Demon Kings.

Hearing these words, realized that they'd indeed been dragged into the fray.

When the Nine Luminaries Evil Stars heard this, their eyes swiftly shifted, looking towards Bull Demon King and the other five Great Saints, they shouted fiercely, "Rebelling against heaven?! You mere demon, dare to scorn the dignity of Heavenly Court."

As these words ended.

A commanding aura pressed toward the nine Great Saints in the forefront.

Among them, King Tongming, known as 'Qigu Great Saint,' was the least composed, exclaiming in panic, "What audacity from the Nine Luminaries Evil Stars, to strut in front of Huaguo Mountain!"

He turned his head towards his sixth brother 'Qu Shen Great Saint' Yu Rong King.

'Qingjing Saint' Green Bamboo King and 'Great Sage Equalling Heaven' Monkey King also turned their gaze towards the sixth brother.

"..."

Yu Rong King's face darkened, looking extremely displeased.

From behind, amidst the crowd of Demon Kings, someone shouted, "Qu Shen Great Saint, known for expelling gods, must have methods to subdue Immortal Gods. With the Nine Luminaries Palace in front of us, it is time for Yu Rong King to display the Great Method to subdue gods and expel evil!"

"Qu Shen Great Saint!"

"Qu Shen Great Saint!"

"Qu Shen Great Saint!"

Someone took the lead, and instantly others joined in the clamour.

Yu Rong King being put on the spot.

His face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Ahead, the Nine Luminaries Palace continued to berate, "Who dares to call themselves 'Qu Shen Great Saint'? Quite a bold claim, come out and meet your death if you dare!"

At this moment.

Yu Rong King had no choice but to respond, otherwise, his reputation would be utterly ruined.

Seeing the Great Saint roar, "How dare you minor Fur Gods utter such bold words! Do not flee, first taste my spear!"

As he spoke.

With a wave of his mighty hand, an Iron Spear appeared out of thin air.

Spear in hand.

He stepped forward.

Engaging head-on with the Nine Luminaries Evil Stars.

The Nine Heavenly Bodies surged forth; Yu Rong King, fearless, brandishing his Iron Spear, parried left and right.

He truly had the skills!

Before long.

He had fought the Nine Heavenly Bodies to exhaustion, each dragging their weapons in retreat, hastening back to the central army tent to report to Pagoda-Bearing King, "That Monkey King has gathered eight Great Demons, claiming themselves 'Nine Great Saints,' with twelve hundred Demon Kings wishing to defy heaven! Among the Nine Great Saints, there's one called 'Qu Shen Great Saint,' skilled in combat, we could not defeat him, thus we retreated in defeat."

"Nine Great Saints?"

"Defy heaven?!"

Upon hearing this, King Li and all the Immortal Gods were enraged, "How dare you insignificant demon stir up trouble!"

Immediately.

He ordered the Four Heavenly Kings and the twenty-eight constellations to march to battle.

Seeing the enemy's fierce advance, 'Qingjing Saint' Green Bamboo King quickly cried out, "The enemy is formidable, shall the six brothers and the two younger ones meet them together?"

'Qigu Great Saint' King Tongming was the first to agree, "Willing to join the brothers in battle!"

'Great Sage Equalling Heaven' Monkey King also proclaimed loudly, "Willing to champion for my eight brothers!"

"Nine Great Saints!"

"Nine Great Saints!"

"Nine Great Saints!"

As the nine Great Saints prepared to join forces, the atmosphere in the mountain reached its climax.

One Demon King after another shouted, faces flushing with excitement.

Seeing Qu Shen Great Saint dispatch the Nine Luminaries Palace in mere moments, all were emboldened with soaring morale and confidence. Now, even if the Four Heavenly Kings and the twenty-eight constellations arrived together, they were not fearful, but instead eager to see the skills of the other eight Great Saints who could stand alongside Qu Shen Great Saint.

Bull Demon King knew a battle was unavoidable.

Without hesitation.

He emerged from the crowd, declaring, "Merely several Fur Gods, no need for my brothers to act, watch your brother's prowess!"

His words full of resounding vigor.

The Demon Kings looked on—

On his head, a smooth, bright, well-polished iron helmet; on his body, a suit of velvet embroidered golden armor; on his feet, a pair of fur-trimmed boots with pink soles; around his waist, a belt of accumulated silk with three strands and embellished with lion motifs.

A pair of eyes gleam like mirrors, brows as crimson as rainbow clouds.

Mouth wide like a basin of blood, teeth lined like copper coins.

Roars resound shaking Mountain Gods with fear, mighty movements sending Evil Ghosts into panic. Known throughout the Four Seas for causing chaos, a Demon King of immense strength from the west.

What a majestic 'Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven'!

"Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven!"

"Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven!"

"Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven!"

A chorus of Demon Kings roar like a tidal wave, seeing Bull Demon King facing off alone against the Four Heavenly Kings and the twenty-eight constellations, all invigorated.

Upon witnessing this, Lu Qingfeng inwardly praises, "What a bold Bull Demon King. Knowing he can't escape a battle, he takes the initiative to strike, seeking fame among the Demon Clan!"

His gaze then shifts to the other five Great Saints.

But on their faces, a flush of red light, their intentions unclear, yet Lu Qingfeng doesn't need to guess to know that these six Great Saints probably don't share the same heart, each engaging in covert power struggles.

The Bull Demon King, however, pays no heed.

"To battle with me!"

Focused on the fight, he clashes with the Four Heavenly Kings and the twenty-eight constellations in one place.

During the Western Tour era.

These famous individuals from the Investiture of the Gods, the Heavenly Kings and Star Officials in Heavenly Court, often had but one True Spirit entrusted upon the Investiture of the Gods, their capabilities limited, far weaker than when they would later reconstruct their True Bodies after departing from the list.

But they are not to be underestimated.

Chill winds whistle, ominous fogs loom.

This battle began at 7 a.m. and continued until the sunset.

The Four Heavenly Kings and thirty-two Star Officials combined forces, yet none were a match for the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven. On one side, King Li and Prince Nezha hurry to send reinforcements. On the other, seeing the Great Sage Qu Shen and the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven flaunt their might and harvest renown and fate, the other four Great Saints watch with envy.

One shouts indignantly, "How shameless of Fur Gods!"

Another cries, "Big brother, I'm coming to help you!"

One after another, they jump into the fray, battling alongside King Li and the others.

Both sides have their own troops; here, the Seventy-two Cave Demon Kings lead the charge, with Wukong selecting eight hundred from twelve hundred Demon Kings to join the battle. On the other side, Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and a host of Immortal Gods offer support.

"Battle!"

"Battle!"

"Battle!"

Lu Qingfeng, Six-Eared and Wukong take advantage of the chaos, joining the intense battle.

From sunrise to sunset.

And from sunset to sunrise again.

This battle lasts three days and three nights before finally coming to an end.

Both sides suffer casualties, each withdrawing their forces, restoring the stalemate.

This truly is:

The Nine Great Saints causing chaos that shocks both heaven and earth, laying their traps and watching day and night.

...

"Next, it will be the great compassionate and merciful Bodhisattva Guanyin from Mount Putuo in the South Sea recommending the appearance of the divine Immortal Master Erlang at the Guan River Mouth!"

In the Northern Continent.

Lu Qingfeng and Six-Eared are both paying close attention to the battle at Huaguo Mountain.

A series of swift victories.

Filled with joy, the twelve hundred Demon Kings from Huaguo Mountain celebrate, even the Six Great Saints like Bull Demon King feel a surge of excitement. The earlier call to 'rebel against heaven' was an act of coercion.

But now, seeing that the gods of Heavenly Court are nothing special, ambition stirs within them.

"The military strength of Huaguo Mountain's Seventy-two Holes alone is far from enough to stand against the Heavenly Soldiers from outside," Lu Qingfeng muses.

Deep in thought, within Huaguo Mountain,

A Demon King advises, "Though we won this battle, Sun Dasheng's demon soldiers from Huaguo Mountain also suffered heavy losses. With eight Great Saints present, why not quickly summon the soldiers from within the mountain and vanquish the opposing Heavenly Soldiers and Gods in one fell swoop and storm into the Heavenly Palace?!"

Not just this Demon King,

Others have similar ideas, echoing one after another.

"My home also has troops!"

The nearby Demon Kings clamor to bring their own forces.

All told, the twelve hundred Demon Kings, some with more and some with less, manage to muster an army of three hundred thousand demons.

"The Demon Kings show great righteousness."

"We brothers naturally cannot let you be the butt of the joke. In the Heavenly Gate Mountain, my eighth brother and I have also organized fifty thousand elite troops, which I will now summon swiftly to bolster our ranks!" declares the 'Qingjing Saint' Green Bamboo King.

Amidst the conversation,

He launches a beam of Pure Light, heading directly to the south to marshal forces and dispatch generals.

Seeing this, the Demon Kings exclaim in unison, "High righteousness of the Qingjing Saint!"

At this moment,

The spotlight falls on the last three ranked Great Saints, as they stake everything they have. The Demon Kings' attention immediately converges on Bull Demon King and the other six Great Saints.

If the Bull Demon King and the others wish to call themselves 'Great Saints' and enjoy the fate of the Demon Clan, it cannot be attained without effort.

At this juncture,

With everyone watching,

Failure to set an example would mean being scorned by all Demon Kings.

Unless one has no shame, and wishes to never mix with the Demon Clan again.

But this—

Is clearly impossible!

"I too shall bring forth fifty thousand troops!"

Bull Demon King makes the first decisive move, raising his voice.

Seeing this, the other five Great Saints also speak up.

You with fifty thousand, I with forty thousand, another with thirty thousand. In the end, including the troops of Green Bamboo King and King Tongming from Heavenly Gate Mountain, the eight Great Saints alone contribute three hundred thousand demon soldiers.

In total, combining all contributions,

The army numbers six hundred thousand!

Seeing the numbers tallied, all Demon Kings reach the peak of excitement.

King Tongming, seeing the moment, boldly declares, "Swear to break through Ling Xiao, to rebuild the Demon Court!"

An aspiration the Demon Clan has never forgotten since the Ancient times.

The Demon Kings, moved and excited, feel the prospect of establishing great achievements and regaining glory right before their eyes, their voices hoarse as they shout in unison—

"Swear to break through Ling Xiao, to rebuild the Demon Court!"

"Swear to break through Ling Xiao, to rebuild the Demon Court!"

"Swear to break through Ling Xiao, to rebuild the Demon Court!"

Their shouts spread across the Four Seas, reaching the nine heavens, changing the colors of gods!
