Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"Master Huiwu, as you said, the Fox Demon and Second Sister Luan have both been injured in their fight. Now is our chance to capture them both, and the name of Samantabhadra Monastery will grow even mightier," a monk said with joy in his eyes as he stood behind the leading high monk.

"Hahaha, indeed. Over the years, Master Huiwu has subdued demons and eliminated evil, even slaying dozens of Demon Kings. Such achievements are beyond the reach of others," another monk added.

"Amitabha. To subdue demons and eliminate evil, one needs great divine skills, great courage, but also great wisdom!"

Master Huiwu chanted a low prayer as he heard his fellow monks' compliments, a pleased expression on his face.

Over many years of cultivating, he indeed had slain countless evil demons, including dozens of Demon Kings. However, these were not through direct confrontation but through trickery.

Whenever a Demon King was injured, Huiwu would find the opportunity to strike, often with twice the result for half the effort.

Of course, if there were a chance to set a trap, that would work too. He had slain dozens of Demon Kings without ever engaging in a desperate fight, which was always Master Huihai's proudest achievement.

"The Fox Demon is already injured. Join me in this strike, but conserve your strength. Since she is hurt, that Second Ms. Luan probably didn't fare much better. After capturing this evil demon, we will head to Yunzhai Cave," Master Huiwu instructed as he stood up.

"Yes, Master Huiwu. If we can subdue two Demon Kings today, Samantabhadra Monastery will truly be unrivaled for thousands of miles!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding monks from the Buddhist Sect all nodded, their expressions filled with excitement.

Subduing two Demon Kings at once? Indeed, it was a grand undertaking.

With a thought, these high monks leaped into action, foregoing any nonsense. They unleashed various Buddhist treasures: alms bowls, Buddha beads, Demon-Subduing Pestles, and even Kasayas. In an instant, the display was vast and awe-inspiring.

Facing this sudden attack by the high monks of the Buddhist Sect, the Fox Demon and her companions reacted quickly. But having just endured a great battle in Yunzhai Cave, how could the Fox Demon stand against these high monks of the Buddhist Sect?

After an intense battle, the Fox Demon and all her kin were slain.

"Good. Gather up these bodies and let's continue on to Yunzhai Cave."

Although the battle was fierce, since most of the demons bore some injuries, the monks of the Buddhist Sect suffered no casualties. After a brief rest, Master Huiwu spoke.

With Master Huiwu's words, the monks nearby sprang into action.

A few injured monks quickly tended to their wounds. Naturally, the slain demon creatures had to be taken back to Samantabhadra Monastery, for they were the Monastery's glory! Discover stories at empire

After about half a tea's worth of time had passed, the monks were ready to move. With the essence of military action being speed, they aimed to take advantage of Second Ms. Luan's injuries before she fully recovered. Moving quickly as the wind, they approached Yunzhai Cave.

However, as they neared Yunzhai Cave, they saw two demon creatures chatting by the cave's entrance before they even arrived.

It was a monkey and a white horse.

"Xiaobai, do you really find that mushy love stuff interesting? I see Master trapped by emotions, and that blockhead is head over heels. Lucky me, I, Old Sun, have no such worries," Sun Wukong said as he lay on the back of the White Dragon Horse, biting into a banana.

"I envy you, Great Brother!" The White Dragon Horse fell silent for a long while before suddenly saying wistfully after Sun Wukong's remarks.

The subject of emotions naturally reminded him of his wife, Princess Wansheng!

Regrettably, she betrayed him for the Nine-Headed Bug.

Could it be that he, the Third Son of the Western Sea Dragon King, was inferior to an insect? With such thoughts, the White Dragon Horse felt resentment stirring in his heart.

"Oh? Xiaobai, seems like you have your troubles too. But it's good to be me, Old Sun, hahaha…" Hearing the White Dragon Horse's words, Sun Wukong suddenly felt delighted, basking in a sense of superiority that he alone was untainted by such troubles.

"Great Brother, it looks like someone is coming," the White Dragon Horse said softly after pausing for a moment, glancing to the side.

"They're just a bunch of people who haven't even reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm, nothing to bother with," Sun Wukong replied, stuffing the last half of the banana into his mouth, casually tossing the peel aside, and shaking his head with lackluster interest.

…

"Master, we have a monkey demon and a horse demon. What do we do?"

Master Huiwu and his disciples hid in the shadows, watching the monkey and horse converse. Although they were quite far and couldn't quite make out what the creatures said, talking animals near Yunzhai Cave could only be evil demons.

"They seem to be just two mere demons. Let's quietly deal with them without causing a ruckus," Master Huiwu said quietly after taking a look. Despite seeing no obvious threat from the monkey and horse, he issued the command softly.

"Understood."

A monk nearby nodded, then raised a Demon-Subduing Pestle, chanting a mantra. The pestle turned into a beam of light, and in the blink of an eye, it struck the monkey from behind.

For a demon of such low caliber, a sneak attack from one with the Cultivation Level of the Divinity Transformation Stage was no different than crushing an ant.

A ting sounded unexpectedly, startling the monks hiding in the shadows and causing them to widen their eyes in shock.

They watched as the Demon-Subduing Pestle successfully hit the monkey on the head, but it was like striking iron. The monks from the Buddhist Sect stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend what they saw.

"Is this some kind of joke?"

The monk who wielded the Demon-Subduing Pestle was utterly dumbfounded, struggling to believe that even a Demon King, when sneak-attacked, would be at least slightly injured.

```

How can this monkey's body be so incredibly hard?

"A Demon King? A Demon King with defense divine abilities?"

Seeing the monkey, both short and thin, could it actually be at the Demon King realm? This startled even the nearby Master Huiwu.

Since it is a Demon King, then it can't be quietly dealt with, Master Huihai stood up, pressing his palms together.

The golden Buddhist light gathered behind Master Huihai, forming a Bodhisattva shadow ten zhang tall, raising its palms high. As he moved, the Bodhisattva shadow behind him also lifted its hand, and then, it fiercely chopped down towards Sun Wukong.

The ten-zhang tall shadow, compared to Sun Wukong's short and small body, was like using a gigantic axe to chop at a tiny mouse — the difference in size was enormous.

Boom!

It was as if the sound of evening drums and morning bells rang out, as the Bodhisattva's shadow with its palm blade fiercely struck Sun Wukong's head, but Sun Wukong remained completely unmoved. Instead, he slightly turned his head, yawned, and said, "I, Old Sun, didn't sleep well last night. I've been feeling out of sorts all day. Did you do this to help perk me up?"

"What kind of evil demon is this?" As a Great Cultivator at the Returning Void realm, this monkey resisted his attack with his physical body and was completely unharmed, leaving the once full-of-confidence Master Huiwu retreating in shock, staring at Sun Wukong in horror.

It was hard to believe that this ordinary-looking monkey could be so terrifying.

In Yunzhai Cave, Jiang Liu, Zhu Bajie, and Second Sister Luan emerged one after another.

Although the recent attack had not caused Sun Wukong any harm, the force of the attack was still significant, so naturally, everyone inside Yunzhai Cave had heard the commotion outside.

"Ignorant fool!" Sun Wukong's gaze fell on the monk, a fierce aura in his eyes.

Though to Sun Wukong, these few monks were not worth mentioning, even a tiny mosquito, if bold enough to bite him, wouldn't mind being swatted dead.

"Roar!"

Without any intention to strike, Sun Wukong's eyes shone with menace, he opened his mouth and let out a fierce shout, a terrible aura bursting forth with his cry.

The monks gathered with the intent of subduing demons and eliminating evil felt an indescribable pressure assaulting them. Several monks at the Divinity Transformation stage spat out blood and fell to the ground, life and death unknown.

Even Master Huiwu, who led them, was shaken back by this demonic qi, and the assembled Bodhisattva shadow behind him cracked all over, shattering into pieces.

"Just with a roar, he shattered my spell, this... this Demon Monkey, what realm is he at? The Heavenly Immortal realm...?" Master Huiwu was staring at Sun Wukong in horror, thinking to himself in disbelief.

Heavenly Immortals and Demon Kings, though only a realm apart, are separated by the difference between mortal and immortal!

Beings at the Heavenly Immortal realm could be listed among the immortals, and even at Western Spirit Mountain, they would qualify for the status of Arhat, not something mere mortal cultivators or Demon Kings could compare with.

Of course, Heavenly Immortal is a cultivation realm.

Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals are generally representative of status, except Loose Immortals have no official position in the Heavenly Court and no registration, while Earth Immortals are registered and recorded by the Heavenly Court but stay only in the mortal world.

"Oh? Not dead yet? It seems your spell just now wasn't too bad," Sun Wukong looked over at the leading monk, somewhat surprised that he was still alive, and cracked a smile.

"Wukong, stop!"

Now that he was a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, seeing this high monk about to be killed, the least he should do was ask for the reasons, right? Seeing that Sun Wukong was about to take action again, Jiang Liu shouted.

Hearing Jiang Liu's call, Sun Wukong had no intention to continue.

It was just a mosquito, though irritating, he didn't mind swatting it dead, but since his master asked him to stop, he would stop.

"You, you too are a monk, yet you consort with evil demons!?" Hearing Jiang Liu's shout, Master Huiwu finally noticed Jiang Liu emerging from Yunzhai Cave and scolded him.

"Amitabha, may I ask how this master is addressed? What just happened here? Is there some misunderstanding?" Jiang Liu asked, not angered, since they had not suffered any loss on their side. Just looking at the several monks lying on the ground, their health bars completely emptied, they were obviously dead.

"Misunderstanding? Demons and humans do not coexist! What misunderstanding can there be! You, young monk, consorting with demons, must have fallen to the Demon Path, and in the future, you will certainly fall into Avici Hell, unable to transcend!"

"So you're someone prepared to come to Yunzhai Cave to subdue demons and eliminate evil, only to encounter Wukong?" Hearing the monk's words, Jiang Liu suddenly understood.

"Amitabha, you may leave!" Jiang Liu said, shaking his head.

Demons and humans do not coexist, and if we really get down to it, the other side wasn't wrong, so Jiang Liu naturally harbored no killing intent.

"Leave? This terrifying great demon will surely bring calamity upon the living. Today, even if I die, I must drag you down to hell!" With a resolute expression, Master Huiwu declared.

As he spoke, Master Huiwu slapped his chest, forcing a mouthful of core essence blood, spitting it into his palm.

Muttering a mantra, the Buddhist light shone brilliantly.

"I summon Samantabhadra Bodhisattva to the mortal realm! To subdue demons and eliminate evil!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
