The battle in the heavens lasted over an hour.

From Huaguo Mountain, the sky seemed ablaze for more than ten days.

During these days, the battle at Huaguo Mountain never ceased.

However, in recent days, the thunderclouds covering the sky gradually receded, stopping motionless on the outskirts.

"Why aren't they attacking anymore?"

Ao Luan looked out from Yunxiao City at the thunderclouds outside, asking with curiosity.

"Because they've been defeated in the heavens."

Immortal Master Erlang answered.

"Defeated in the heavens?"

Ao Luan turned back: "Did my brother win?"

"Even Emperor Qinghua was defeated by him."

Immortal Master Erlang had just received the news, lamenting: "He destroyed four Heavenly Gates, swept through the entire Heavenly Palace, and nearly wiped out all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!"

Ao Luan's eyes suddenly lit up.

This news quickly spread throughout Huaguo Mountain.

"Have you heard?"

All the demons were excitedly discussing the battle in the heavens.

"The Great King swept through the Heavenly Palace!"

"He is really incredible!"

These days, Huaguo Mountain was under siege, and the demons hadn't stopped worrying about their Great King.

Now, hearing the news about the Great King, the demons were naturally overjoyed.

"It's said that Heavenly King Li was demoted to a mortal by his stick strike, and was cast down from the Heavenly Palace!"

"Wouldn't that have killed him?"

"Definitely, it killed him—"

The demons were excited and thrilled.

"No wonder those immortals outside don't dare to move, they're likely scared witless by the Great King!"

"That's not it."

While bandaging his wounds, Fox King said, "Heavenly King Li directed the military in the Heavenly Palace. With him slain by the Great King, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals became leaderless, and their morale also collapsed."

This was the main reason the gods of the Thunder Department stopped their attack.

"Regardless, the Great King is worth ten of me!"

Bear Demon King said jubilantly, "Following the Great King was indeed the right choice, don't you think? Great Peng—"

He turned his head to see Golden Winged Great Peng stabbing a sword into his own chest.

"Brother Great Peng!"

Bear Demon King was startled, "Why so desperate!"

"Stop the nonsense!"

Golden Winged Great Peng glared at him, then smeared blood over his face and collapsed to the ground with a clang.

Mei Hu and a group of female demons flew over.

They distributed food to the demon kings and then noticed the blood-covered Golden Winged Great Peng lying on the ground, pretending to be dead.

"Yikes, what happened to you?"

Mei Hu asked.

Golden Winged Great Peng kept his eyes closed, coughing painfully, and said, "I didn't expect Master Deng to be so terrifying. I carelessly took a sword from him, I'm afraid I won't live long!"

"Really?"

Curious, Mei Hu pulled out the sword, and immediately blood spurted out.

She was stunned, seeing that he was truly injured.

"I'm sorry."

Mei Hu quickly reinserted the sword, stopping the blood.

Golden Winged Great Peng's face sweated from pain.

But for the sake of the beautiful lady, he endured.

"I promised Monkey King to protect Huaguo Mountain, so I cannot break my word!"

Golden Winged Great Peng, looking weak, said, "If I survive, will you accept my courtship?"

"No."

Mei Hu answered immediately.

"Why?"

Golden Winged Great Peng squinted his eyes: "I'm already like this!"

"Don't waste your effort."

Fairy Chang'e, still in Huaguo Mountain, smiled and said: "Even if you truly died, she would not agree."

Just after saying these words, Fairy Chang'e suddenly felt a palpitation.

She looked up at the sky, her face drastically changing.

"What's wrong?"

Mei Hu asked.

"Guanghan Palace..."

Fairy Chang'e looked towards a place in the sky where flames blazed: "Guanghan Palace is also on fire!"

Although it was still daytime, she knew that was the location of Guanghan Palace.

Guanghan Palace was burning, Fairy Chang'e was frantic, letting go of other concerns, she rode the Auspicious Cloud straight towards Guanghan Palace.

Fairy Chang'e returned to Guanghan Palace, the serene and cold palace was indeed engulfed in flames at this moment.

Countless fairies stood outside, staring blankly at the palace enshrouded in fire.

"Sisters!"

Fairy Chang'e landed, looked around, and sighed with relief: "None of you are injured?"

"Yes."

Fairy Suhua turned to look at her, sighed, and said: "The Great Saint asked us to leave first."

Fairy Chang'e felt relieved: "I heard he defeated a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, even defeated Heavenly King Li, it's good you didn't fight with him."

"Your information is outdated."

Fairy Neon answered: "He defeated a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals with just one strike, and now has swung countless more, blowing away the Star Monarch with his power, how could we dare to fight him!"

When Sun Wukong arrived, they didn't even have the thought to resist.

Fairy Chang'e then asked: "Where has he gone now?"

"To attack other palaces."

The fairies answered, then after a moment of hesitation, they added: "He'll probably reach Palace of the Polestar soon."

"Palace of the Polestar!"

Fairy Chang'e was startled.

Jade Emperor had just returned to the Palace of the Polestar.

"Your Majesty!"

Inspector Spirit Official hurriedly rushed over, knelt down before him: "Sun Wukong has already destroyed Guanghan Palace and is heading towards Palace of the Polestar, please summon the Buddha immediately for help!"

Jade Emperor stopped walking.

"No need," he said. "I want to see what that monkey intends to do."

"Your Majesty!"

Inspector Spirit Official tried to persuade him: "No one in the Heavenly Palace can stop Sun Wukong now, Your Majesty controls the Heavenly Dao but is not skilled in combat, please do not put yourself at risk!"

"Why are you reluctant to let the Buddha assist?"

Queen Mother also asked: "The Buddha is the one in the Three Realms with the broadest divine power, possessing great wisdom. If he comes, he could surely turn peril into safety."

Jade Emperor shook his head, sighing: "I'm afraid, the Buddha might have other plans for Sun Wukong."

He controlled the Heavenly Dao, and Buddhism was also within the Heavenly Dao, where he commanded respect, posing no threat to him. However, Sun Wukong was different, if he were to convert to Buddhism, merging his supreme divine power with the Buddha, the entirety of Buddhism would be out of his control.

This was what the Jade Emperor greatly feared.

"Even if the Buddha has other intentions."

Queen Mother sadly said: "Your Majesty still has to summon him."

Jade Emperor slightly frowned: "Why?"

Queen Mother leaned over in reply: "Palace of the Polestar is the symbol of authority in the Heavenly Palace, if destroyed by Sun Wukong, Your Majesty's majesty would be entirely lost, how will you lead the Three Realms in the future?"

Jade Emperor sighed, her words were indeed correct.

The Buddha is a distant concern, whereas Sun Wukong was an imminent and close threat.

He could even feel the ever-nearing scent of flaming breath.

Jade Emperor closed his eyes, contemplated for a moment, and finally made a decision.

"Issue the decree," he told the Inspector Spirit Official: "Immediately dispatch the Inspector Spirit Official along with Immortal Master Erlang to the Western regions, invite the Buddha to subdue Sun Wukong!"

"By your command!"

Inspector Spirit Official immediately retreated.

Jade Emperor watched his departing figure, his heart couldn't help but think, this might not be a bad thing.

He wanted to see, just how capable the Buddha really was!

Could he control Sun Wukong who he himself could not?
