The Jingu Bang shone brilliantly, stuck atop the ruins of the Western Heavenly Gate.
Sun Wukong sat alone on the broken walls, eyes closed, resting.
The Immortals rushing from the North Heaven Gate witnessed this scene upon their arrival.
Another dust settled.
"The Western Heavenly Gate, too, has been destroyed."
Many sighed, but Immortal Zhenyuan had a different focus.
"My younger brother is looking more handsome by the day..."
He thought to himself, Sun Wukong was already the Monkey King, and now, adorned in golden armor and crown, even just sitting there, he looked exceedingly dashing.
"I wonder where he got that outfit, I should get one myself."
Immortal Zhenyuan mulled over it.
A sea of red clouds oppressed from above, it was the ferocious Fire Department Gods along with the remnants of the River Soldiers, the beleaguered Wang Lingguan, Tian Peng, and Nezha.
Immortal Zhenyuan looked up, thinking about how Sun Wukong alone could confront a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, what use was there in even more people coming?
But he soon exclaimed in surprise, spotting several streaks of light speeding this way.
Two streaks of light landed beside him first—it was the Great Emperor True Martial and Emperor Donghua.
"Great Emperor, Emperor..."
Immortal Zhenyuan hurriedly greeted, "Have you come to capture my younger brother as well?"
Great Emperor True Martial shook his head: "He managed to defeat Wang Lingguan and Nezha together; I doubt I'd gain any advantage going against him."
Emperor Donghua scoffed.
He had visited the Palace of the Polestar before arriving here and knew the truth; naturally, he wouldn't make a move against Sun Wukong.
But looking at Sun Wukong, Emperor Donghua felt puzzled; despite being in battle, with Heavenly King Li all anger and fire, why was there hardly any malice emanating from Sun Wukong?
"Gods of the Fire Department, form up immediately!"
Tota Li Heavenly King issued the command.
Sun Wukong opened his eyes and saw the myriad of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals flying towards him, as well as the three generals returning to the battlefield.
"Back so soon?"
Sun Wukong thought to himself and decided to take the initiative.
In the next moment, he and the Jingu Bang disappeared, leaving behind only a trace of flames.
Before the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals could form up, Sun Wukong charged directly into them, wielding the Jingu Bang with ease as he casually swung it.
The fierce wind from the staff instantaneously ravaged the area, the sea of clouds tumultuously rolling. In no time, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were flung about like driftings, the formation torn to shreds.
"Sun Wukong, take my spear!"
Nezha stabilized his stance, transformed into three heads and six arms, wielding different weapons on each arm, all striking towards Sun Wukong simultaneously.
Marshal Tian Peng and Wang Lingguan also attacked Sun Wukong from different directions with the Nine-toothed Spiked Rake and Golden Whip.
Sun Wukong then shifted form, also transforming into three heads and six arms.
He flicked the Ruyi Stick, splitting the Jingu Bang into three; his six hands wielded the three staffs like spinning wheels, blocking the attacks of the three!
"How does he even know this move!"
Nezha's expression changed, hurriedly forming a spell hand sign, his Wind Fire Wheels whooshing as he escaped, flames fiercely bursting from it in a blink, spewing like a torrential seawater.
The red flames immediately overwhelmed Sun Wukong's entire body, his armor instantly heated red-hot by the flames, flowing like molten lava across his body.
Sun Wukong's expression remained unchanged, his Jingu Bang casually swung.
Suddenly, the flames and molten lava gathered on him, merging into red magma, then reversing like a soaring dragon, instantly enveloping the Jingu Bang, giving it a layer of molten armor.
Sun Wukong had thus absorbed all the flames from the Wind Fire Wheels.
From afar, two more streaks of light appeared, stopping beside Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad.
These were two benevolent-looking old men.
Seeing the battle scene, Shangqing Venerable's expression grew cold: "This is outrageous, I'll lend them a hand!"
He flicked his horsetail whisk, which suddenly stretched long, piercing through the dense soldiers, aiming straight to bind Sun Wukong.
"Are they coming?"
Sun Wukong glanced, and a brilliant golden light burst out from behind him. As the horsetail whisk crossed it, it encountered the golden light like oil meeting a spark, instantly bursting into flames.
"That golden light!"
Heavenly King Li was shocked and pale: "How does he still have merit left!"
Hadn't Sun Wukong's merit vanished?
"Come back!"
Shangqing Venerable hastily retracted the horsetail whisk, but his expression drastically changed.
The horsetail whisk that had accompanied him through several great calamities had turned into a bright, burning fireball; the flames were so fierce that his own immortal power felt fear in their midst.
In the blink of an eye, the Buddha Dust burned out and the flames, swift as fire snakes, climbed up, reaching the sleeves of Shangqing and violently ignited.
"What kind of evil fire is this!"
Shangqing tore off his long sleeve and threw it aside.
The ferocious flames instantly devoured the sleeve completely, only gradually extinguishing when there was nothing left to burn.
Fortunately, Shangqing Venerable reacted in time and prevented the flames from reaching his body.
"How could the Merit Fire burn me!"
Shangqing asked in surprise.
"Let me take a closer look."
Yuqing looked towards the battlefield and then tightly furrowed his brows.
"That doesn't seem to be Merit."
The light burning around Sun Wukong seems like Merit Flames, but in reality, it is not.
Merit is only a carrier; behind it, there is an invisible mass of dark mist-like substance to common folk.
The dark mist keeps pouring into the golden light, making the Merit Flames not only unextinguished but even more vigorous.
Yuqing Venerable, seeing those dark mists, couldn't help but step back.
That is resentment.
These resentments are anomalies of the Three Realms, they should not exist.
These are now vanishing, every bit that disappears makes the splendid Merit Flames grow, such resentment-born Merit is making Sun Wukong even stronger.
The dark mist desperately dashes into the flames, vanishing like moths to flame.
They are helping Sun Wukong, why? What has he done!?
He is destroying the Heavenly Palace!
Could all this resentment be directed towards the Heavenly Palace!
Yuqing was extremely alarmed in his heart!
This is a great catastrophe for the Heavenly Palace!
He exchanged looks with Shangqing, and they saw the same caution in each other's eyes.
"Lord, is your Vajra Bracelet effective?"
Yuqing asked.
Lord Lao Zi sighed reluctantly, pulled a bracelet from his sleeve, and threw it towards Sun Wukong.
The Vajra Bracelet circled twice in the air, found an opening, and plunged fiercely, clanging as it hooked onto the Jingu Bang.
Sun Wukong immediately felt a massive suction force from the Vajra Bracelet, he lifted the Jingu Bang from below and forcefully flicked the bracelet off.
"You see..."
Lord Lao Zi sighed: "I can't do anything."
"This is fated."
Yuqing said, "We manage the moral education, not the control."
Shangqing nodded, they both glanced at Sun Wukong, shook their heads, and then turned to leave.
"Both Venerables!"
Tota Li Heavenly King still wanted to retain them.
"Sun Wukong is protected by destiny; we do not wish to be entangled in karma."
Lord Lao Zi said this.
He was somewhat tired, this matter was out of control.
Lord Lao Zi shook his head then walked away.
With the departure of The Three Pure Ones, Tota Li Heavenly King's face immediately turned pale.
He turned back to look towards the battlefield.
As far as his eyes could see, it was a sea of flames.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were still charging fearlessly towards Sun Wukong, a scene that should have aroused vigor.
But Li Heavenly King understood that all this vigor would soon be trampled under Sun Wukong's feet.
He made up his mind.
